After Pony gets a phone, a group chat is created between the gang. Chaos ensues

Or

Curtis gang chatfic!

Notes:

Chapters be read in any order!! (unless I specify it’s a 2 parter or something)

Chapter 1: iPad kids

Summary:

The gang has a lot of iPad kids??

Notes:

Hey! This is just a stress reliever. No schedule. Just whatever I feel like writing. Kind of a floating time period.

This was rotting away in my google drive for a solid month or so so I just cleaned it up and decided to post, since I love gc fic and we lack them in our fabulous fandom! Only posted bc I read the other gc fics recently and decided I wanted to contribute

Whenever someone is added to a group, the names are from whoever created the group!

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter 3: Chocolate Vape

Summary:

Pony gets his hands on a vape but it doesn’t last too long

Notes:

The way it’s basically canon that Pony would vape is actually so funny to me

Also the reach this fic has gotten is actually insane it became one of my top 5 most subbed fics the day after I posted it that’s insane. Thank you all so much! Thank you for all the kudos and comments guys (I feel like such a giddy ego manic rn)

And to the other chatfic authors: hi! I’ve read your fics they’re really cool!

Final note is that when two are direct messaging, the names are what they call each other (so if Steve is Stupid in Pony’s phone and Steve has Pony as Idiot then their chat is [Idiot and Stupid])

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Pony: You’re not helping

 

Soda: pony y r u vaping now?

 

Steve: the disappointment is strong

 

Pony: I just wanted to try. Honest.

 

Johnnycakes: he wasn't trying to do anything bad darry

 

Darry: So you knew

Darry: You probably all knew

 

Pony: Well now there’s no point so yeah they knew

 

Johnnycakes: oh no sorry pony

 

Darry: Do you know who sold it to him?

 

Johnnycakes: no none of us do

 

Darry: Dally?

 

Dally: hell if I know

 

Darry: Okay then. Pony you’re grounded until we find out who it was

 

Pony: What?

 

Darry: That includes your runs. No point if you’re gonna ruin your lungs. I’ll have someone walk you home. Might pull you out of track all together. And I don’t want you with your smoker friends. Or Curly’s crowd. Or any crowd aside from the gang actually

 

Pony: Darrel!

 

Soda: hey dar isn't that a bit much

 

Two-Bit: hold your horses

 

Steve: wait a minute

 

Johnnycakes: he just vaped we all vape or smoke

 

Darry: I don't care I don't want him doing both. Just like the asprin, we need to kick the habit out of him

Darry: No hanging out with Johnny either. Dw Johnny you’re welcome but don't talk to ponyboy

 

Soda: hey hold on

 

Johnnycakes: oh

 

Darry: You can sleep in my room instead of Pony and Soda’s when it’s too cold on the couch.

 

Johnnycakes: oh..

 

Dally: ok it was me

 

Darry: I knew it

Darry: We’ve got three people around here who sell vapes and it sure wasn’t the other two

Darry: You’re off the hook Pony. You weren’t even really on it I wasn’t gonna do any of that except maybe ground you for a couple days

Darry: Dallas come over right now

 

Dally: ugh i can feel the smug

If you want to suggest an idea, or maybe see more of this or other fics, or maybe just yap (I’m desperate for people to talk to abt The Outsiders), you can find me on my tumblr or insta (@pop_tartcat)

Chapter 4: Golf Unit

Summary:

Ponyboy has a golf unit. Johnny is really good at it

Notes:

The golf brainrot… it consumes me

Jk golf is hard. I’m on my school’s team and we’re in season. I’ve been so busy it’s actually part of why I started this lol. If my poor school has a tennis, badminton, volleyball, basketball, and pickleball unit, they can have a golf unit.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Johnny has created [Unnamed Chat]

 

Johnny has changed the group name to [Golf]

 

Johnny has added Dreamer and Dal

 

Johnny: hey guys we just need a gc for the course

Johnny: dally and i are on our way we’re in buck’s car

 

Dreamer has changed Johnny’s name to Golfer

 

Golfer: we’ll start on a par 3’s

 

Dreamer: Par 3? What’s a par?

 

Golfer: how many hits it should take to get into the hole. they’re the shortest and easiest ones. like 100 yards

Golfer: we covered that in class

 

Dreamer: Shoot I guess I wasn’t paying attention then

 

Golfer: 😕


[Golf]

 

1:32PM

 

Dreamer: Dally you can actually golf???

 

Dal: johnny keeps dragging me out with him

Dal: btw your swing is ass

 

Dreamer: I know my swing sucks no need to point it out 😒

Dreamer: How’d you even get so good?

 

Golfer: he goes out to practice in that one park

 

Dal: BITCH


[Golf]

2:12PM

 

Dreamer: Remind me what the difference is between these clubs

 

Golfer: the big long ones with the bigger heads are either drivers, woods, or hybrids. drivers are the biggest and used for teeing off/drives. woods are used for drives and fairways. hybrids are for drives and fairways. the ones that look like the ones on tv are irons. they’re used for drives, fairways and chips. putters are for putting on the green.

 

Dreamer: What

 

Dal: just swing the damn thing


[The Curtis Gang]

 

3:03PM

Johnnycakes: Ponyboy-angrily-hugging-Johnny.png


[The Curtis Gang]

 

3:14PM

 

Johnnycakes: on our way back

 

Soda: ooo what’d you shoot?

 

Johnnycakes: I shot a 44

 

Two-Bit: 🤯🤯🤯

 

Darry: Jesus Christ

 

Steve: what about dally?

 

Dally: 56

 

Soda: hbu pony

 

Pony: …84

 

Steve: did y’all not play double par pickup?

 

Pony: What?

 

Steve: did you even pay attention to the class?

 

Pony: No…

 

Johnnycakes: We should play a scramble next time

 

Pony: A what?

 

Dally: i’m not teaching him

 

Two-Bit: I WILL✋✋

 

Darry: Lord have mercy

 

Steve: goodbye glass. goodbye neck

 

Soda: where’s the neckbrace!?

Notes:

I gave Johnny a 44 bc I got a 44 at my last match during a scramble (a scramble is when there’s a team of people who hit a ball and then they pick their favorite and hit from there and repeat until they get to the end) This may also end up being a 2-parter!
