About ten years after The Outsiders, Ponyboy was walking in a park. He saw two young boys who looked about eight or nine sitting on a park bench eating candy cigarettes. One boy, who was bigger than his friend, had blond hair and blue eyes and wore a brown leather jacket. His friend was a scrawny Hispanic kid with black eyes and silky black hair. He wore a jean jacket. Ponyboy walks up to them and asks them their names. The blond boy looks up at him and says, "I'm Danny and this is Jakob. May I ask why, mister?"

"You just look like some old friends of mine." Replies Ponyboy.

The scrawny kid then pipes up saying, "you kinda look familiar yourself, sir."

"Maybe I was your friend in another life." Ponyboy says just before turning around, smiling. He wanted to go tell his friends that he thinks he found Dally and Johnny's reincarnations.
