The breeze blew and the two girls looked around, their heads finally settling from what seemed like a hard impact. But it really wasn't. The short, brunette red head looked around and felt for her glasses finally feeling them and put them on. Her mouth was only slightly agape at the change of scenery; houses everywhere that looked worn down, chain linked fences in the yards and trash that littered amongst the grass. she looked around and found themselves woken up in an empty lot and it was just the crack of dawn.
She turned to shake her friend awake.
"Asia wake up." her friend groaned.
"This better be important," she mumbled sitting up and rubbing her eyes, but having the slightest same reaction.
"Tyler, where are we?" Asia asked, having no recognition of how they ended up thousands of miles away from Florida. The girls looked around before helping each other stand up.
"Okay let's not panic." Asia started before Tyler said,
"I'm not panicing." her voice sounding squeaky. Asia held back a laugh and yawned, seeing how early it was.
"It's so early... god damn its so early." she groaned observing around her. Broken down houses, chain fences and the surroundings.
"Tyler," she said slowly looking around more. "Do you know where we are or possibly could be?" Tyler looked at her friend.
"Ergghh it looks familiar...why?" Asia bit her lip before saying
"I think... we might be in Tulsa...and we're way back in time...soooo..." Asia's sentence trailed off. Tyler caught the hint.
"Fuck." she said. Asia laughed a little before swinging her arm around Tyler's shoulder.
"Let's go." The two of them only sighed and began wondering off, in search of help.
The girls walked around trying to find directions or anyone that could help them. But it was quiet for a morning. No one was around and no cars were out except the ones parked in the driveways of their homes.
"What do you remember?" Asia asked out of the blue, killing the quiet mood between them. Tyler blinked from her quiet tranced and thought for a moment.
"I remember us texting, walking and talking. I was texting Jeremy, you were texting Dylan and..." she paused as if trying to remember an important detail. Asia's eyes then lit up.
"I remember! We both got a strange phonecall..."
Asia and Tyler had been walking down 7th street not too far away from the house. The lightning and thunder had picked up quickly so they had sped their pace up a little bit. It wasn't safe to be outside but their common sense had left the building a long time ago. Asia perked up when she heard the ringtone of Tyler's phone buzzing and Tyler picked her phone out of her pocket and looked at the phone number.
"It's some random number." Tyler only shrugged and answered her phone.
"Hello?" she spoke into the phone. Her eyebrows furrowed hearing a bunch of commotion into the background of her phone.
"Wait what's your name?" she asked, sounding confused and looking over at Asia, who gave her a funny look in return. After a while she hung up the phone and put her phone away.
"Who was that?" Asia asked curious to see who had called her so late at night. Tyler looked at Asia.
"It was Dallas Winston."
"Okaay?" Asia replied sounding like it could be any Dallas in the united states. Tyler gave her a 'hello' kind of look like it was obvious.
"Like as in Dallas Winston from The Outsiders Dallas Winston." Asia stopped in her tracks.
"No." Tyler nodded.
"No." Tyler nodded.
"I'm dead serious. It was Dallas Winston from The Outsiders." Asia raised her eyebrows and they kept walking.
"Okay if you say so crazy." Tyler squeaked and pushed her playfully.
"Dont call me crazy." they were getting close to home and the clouds were getting darker and the storm was getting closer. The thunder was getting louder and more lightning was appearing in the air.
"We need to get home," Asia muttered before hearing her phone ring.
"Who the hell is calling me at 12'o clock at night?" she dug out her phone and looked at the number. It was a private number but she took the risk.
"Hello?" she heard voices and what sounded like a TV in the background. And she could've sworn the voice say, "Knock it off Two bit."
"Um, who is this?" she heard shuffling and a voice say into the phone.
"Hey sweet cheeks whatcha doin?" Asia only responded in silence and hung up the phone.
"Who was it?" Tyler asked poking at her shoulder.
"It was...Two bit...from The Outsiders." Tyler laughed.
"Ha! You callin' me crazy! See who's crazy now! ...bitch." Asia tucked her phone away.
"But that's impossible. Just no." their conversation though was interuppted by the storm which hung above them. The two girls looked up seeing the lightning was flashing repeatedly and the thunder was twice as loud.
"C'mon let's go!" Asia shouted and the two started running home. The house was around the corner, for they could see the green lights only 200 feet away. Asia could feel her lungs wheezing but she kept going.
"Tyler hurry!" she said. By now both of them were running barefoot and were almost at the house. There was then a flash of lightning and everything went bright white.
After walking around for what seemed like hours on end, the girls found their way downtown. They noticed the 50s were waaaay different than 2014. Everyone's style of clothing was different; girls wore blouses and skirts, while boys wore jean or leather jackets with jeans and converse or boots. The girls didn't fit either category. The girls arrived wearing either jeans or capri shorts, both wearing flip flops and tee shirts.
Everyone started to stare at the girls as they walked into town. Asia shrunk a little as the stares bore into them.
"I dont like how everyone is staring." Asia mumbled over to Tyler. Tyler looked over at Asia as they kept walking.
"dont worry about it. If someone tries to start something, we got this." she said. They spotted a nearby restaurant called The Dingo. They knew it'd be cheap and luckily Asia had some leftover cash on her somehow but she couldn't remember how. Tyler nodded her head over the cafe.
"C'mon let's go." she said, looking right, left then right again and crossed the street. The girls walked into the cafe. They heard Elvis music playing from an old jukebox and a few greaser boys were sitting around, goofing off and a few socs were at the counter. Tyler scanned the area and pointed to a corner booth.
"Over there." she said trying to avoid any scenes. Asia followed behind and they sat in the booth looking through the menu. Asia's eyes widened a little at the prices.
"Look at these prices Tyler. Milkshakes for 50 cents. That's freakin awesome. I"ll seem like, the richest person here." the girls laughed and a waitress came over.
"May I take your order?" she asked.
"One vanilla milkshake and one Mint flavored milkshake." the waitress scribbled it down and walked off to the kitchen. Asia propped her elbows up on the table and looked around the cafe.
"We have to find a way to get back to our time period." Tyler gave Asia a funny look.
"Let's explore here a little bit. Besides, I can find Dally Winston." Tyler said with a wink, making both of the girls laugh and burst out into giggles. The giggles though, caught the attention of the socs up at the counter. Tyler noticed them talking and pointing at them but they didn't walk over.
"Hey! What are you looking at buddy? Take a picture it lasts longer" Tyler shouted sounding annoyed.
"Shut up Tyler...God" Asia hissed elbowing her loud friend in the ribs, but it was too late, the three socs were stalking their over to the girls.
"What was that you just said," the leader scoffed leaning down getting into Tyler's face.
"What, are you bad at hearing? I said take a fucking picture, it lasts longer," Tyler snapped making the soc's leaders friends' oooh at him. Asia glared over at Tyler.
"Tyler what the hell are you doing?" she hissed. "Just shut up." she groaned looking up at the three socs. There was no way the two of them could beat the THREE of them. Just forget that. The head soc's face turned a little red but he got back in Tyler's face.
"How about you and I take a little field trip outside?" Tyler smirked.
"How about we don't and you just leave?" The soc instinctively grabbed her wrist trying to pull her out of the booth. Meanwhile a crowd had started to gather around. Tyler growled getting up and kneed him where the sun dont shine, making him fall over and groan in pain. His friends backed up a bit.
"You guys want some too?" the boys shook their heads.
"Then leave." she said making them run out of The Dingo faster in a heartbeat. Asia got out of the booth standing next to Tyler. She looked at her friend giving her a scowl before taking her wrist.
"C'mon lets get out of here. You've caused enough trouble for one day."
"But he started it!" she fought back.
"I dont wanna hear it." Asia retorted. As they were leaving a group of boys were leaning against the wall, and one stepped in their way, making Tyler block her arm protectively in front of Asia.
"What do you want?" Tyler asked. The boy didn't look like the one from the inside though. His hair was greased up, he had a leather jacket, a mickey mouse shirt and jeans. He looked...friendly.
"Take it easy tuff chickidee. I'm not here to hurt ya." he said a grin stretching on his face. Asia glanced at Tyler then back at him. His voice sounded familiar. She whispered to Tyler,
"Tyler, his voice sounds familiar."
"Are you sure?" Tyler whispered back. The boy was looking at them funny noticing their quiet conversation.
"Yeah, he sounded like that...Two bit character." Tyler slowly relaxed her hand down and looked up at the tall boy.
"Who are you and what do you want?" the boy laughed and stretched his hand out.
"Name's Two bit. Couldn't help but notice how you kicked them soc's asses. Nice work my lady." Tyler awkwardly shook his hand but smiled a little at his compliment. Asia snickered a little and Tyler nudged her, making her only laugh more. Another boy stepped out. He had brown hair that was whipped, brown eyes and had a weed in his mouth. He looked tough and had an icy cold look to his eyes.
"And you are?" Tyler asked the other boy.
"Dallas Winston."
