    Summary

    In desperate need of money, Johnny Cade agrees to join Tim Shepard’s band as a bassist for extra cash. He’s too embarrassed to tell the gang, but what will they start saying when he disappears every night?

    Summary

    Independence, Missouri
    1851

    Everyone has something to run from.

    Ponyboy, Sodapop, and Darry Curtis from their life of poverty, a rough city, and memories of their late parents.

    Keith “Two-Bit” Mathews, from a life spent too long at the bottom of a bottle and a house fire he was too out of sorts to do anything about.

    Steve Randle, from his father, who has kicked him out for the final time.

    Johnny Cade, from his abusive father and uncle, memories of his negligent late mother, and a half-world of his heritage between the Lakota and the white settlers of the trading post.

    Dalton “Dally” Winston, from a murder that no one else will truly believe was in defense of Johnny Cade.

    Free land in Oregon starts to sound more and more appealing. A new life. Atonement. Everything else they’re looking for.

    It won’t be an easy journey, though. They might not all come out the other side. But this ragtag bunch, both old friends and new, is determined to get their last chance at a new start before it slips away from them for good.

     

    Or

     

    The Curtis gang takes the Oregon Trail.

    Summary

    "He ain't no sweetheart, that's for sure. He's a real hoodlum, but he'll be sweet to you, if you tell him you're my brother. Otherwise he might fuck with ya for fun." Johnny's lips purse and he frowns, his confusion only deepening. To him, the idea of dating somebody like that is foreign. Sodapop tells him of his dreams to date a real nice girl and settle down one day, to marry somebody who has a clean mouth and can take jokes as well as she can make them. "Wouldn't it be better to date someone who's not like that?" He asks, and Sylvia blinks down at him for a moment like she's truly startled. Then, she laughs.

    "Baby, this ain't no fairytale. Us grease, we don't get those."

    --

    Johnny Cade's perspective of The Outsiders, only, it's a little different.
