Ponyboy has been walking around for hours. There was no telling what time it was or where he was at. He wasn't even in Tulsa anymore. All he could see were trees surrounding the road he was walking down. He was about to turn back when all of a sudden a branch from a tree fell to his head, knocking him out.
Two days later
"Where am I?" Pony asked as he woke up in a hospital.
"Your in a hospital you got a pretty good bono on your head. A nice couple decided to bring you with them to our continent since you were all alone." A doctor with an accent he couldn't make out, explained.
"What continent am I in?" Pony asked, alarmed that he was so far away from home as to be in another continent.
"Australia." The doctor said.
"I need to get home. I live in America!" Pony panicked.
"Well I'm afraid that as a minor I can't let you leave on your own. You will soon be able to leave the hospital once the paper work is filled out though."
The doctor walked out leaving Ponyboy in shock. He was in Australia! How was he supposed to get back to his brothers and the gang!
As the doctor let him leave the hospital he assured the staff that he would be fine on his own to go around town.
As he was walking past the Ocean Cafe he spotted a sign that said 'Free tours on Mako Island'.
Since he had nothing better to do, and hadn't found a way to contact Darry and Soda he boarded the boat and decided to explore a bit before finding a way home.
As the traveled to the island he was amazed by its beauty. Unfortunately his amazement led to him straying from the group.
He didn't know where he was now and had to find a way back.
"Great. I'm already in another continent and just had to get myself lost on an island as well." He muttered.
While he wasn't paying attention he slipped on a rock and fell down a tunnel like entrance.
It was too steep to climb up so he went in deeper to find a way out. It was now night and he could barely see until he stumbled upon an underwater entrance that showed a great amout of light.
"I have to get out somehow." He said as he jumped into the pool of water.
He came up just as the full moon passed over the top. He looked around as the water started to glow. When the moon was moving out of sight, Ponyboy turned to water for just a second before transforming from legs to a blue scaly tail.
"What the hell!" He said, before deciding he had to get back to land. So he swam out of the cave, using his new merman speed. Only he had no idea which way land was. He was lost.
