Summary
Curly Shepard has made it out of Tulsa with his siblings and has made it as a famous rockstar. Ponyboy Curtis just wants a calm family vacation for once but his brother and Steve (read: the most annoying mf in his life) won’t shut up about these no-name kids who became famous rockstars. Safe to say Ponyboy is annoyed with their antics but can’t help to wonder why he and Curly had never crossed paths as children - he could have sworn he used to pal around with a curly headed kid who looks like this rockstar kid.
The two inevitably cross paths and Curly can’t put his finger on why the kid looks so familiar. His past is suddenly meeting his present and memories rush back - a kid who used to watch him play in his garage, a kid who was there when he fell off a telephone pole and broke his arm, a kid with auburn hair and bright green eyes he swore up and down were grey.
