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.
