Summary
Waking up every morning with deja vu was getting tiresome. Deja vu of having deja vu shouldn't even be possible, but he never did like to take the easy way out, did he? Is it possible to have memories of the past-future? It was all getting to be too much.
Ponyboy is given a second chance to fix things. Or maybe this is his third chance. Or fourth. He really needs to do better at keeping these days straight.

Summary
If Ponyboy could do it all over again, he probably wouldn't. Seeing how much trouble it caused, that'd probably be for the better. But like all good stories, this one starts with a motive. Determination. All Pony wished was to be able to prove himself in a home of six older brothers. But just like they say:
Be careful what you wish for.

Summary
Darry has work out of town for the weekend, leaving Two-Bit in charge of the house for four days. Things go downhill fast.
---
"He was only going to be gone for four days. It wasn't that big of a deal. There was a call out at a sister site in a town about four hours away, something about his wife going into labor unexpectedly. Being in the position he was in, it only made sense for Darry to be the one to take the other guy's place. It would only be for four days. Darry was fine with this. Keith was freaking out a bit, to put it lightly."
