 - I'm unoriginal but it's ok

- The Winstons meet the 21st century

- Dallas was born in November of 2004, Hannah in may of 2006, Buck in August of 2000

- Buck was the only kid in the neighbourhood with a cell phone

- it was a 1997 Nokia

- Verna and Charlie still suck

- Ok, I don't know if I can say Verna sucks... I'm conflicted about my own characters

- Anyway! Dal still gets caught by the police after trying to steal some Tylenol for Hannah 

- But he's kicking and screaming about how his sister is sick

- And since he's...like ten or something, cps gets involved

- Safe to stay the conditions were pretty terrible

- By the time they get to the apartment Hannah is crying and Verna is still sitting on the bed with her, holding her hair back while shes crying and throwing up

- They end up in five foster homes over two years before they're separated :(

- BUT they find each other again because they were in the same school

- Both their foster families suck

- So Dallas decides they're gonna run away

- He walks Hannah home from school and tells her to pack a bag and hide it

- "We're gonna go find Buck, okay? I'll see you tonight."

- Haha sike

- Its damn near three in the morning and Dal is on his way to Hannah's

- And then there's Dominic.

- 🔪🔪🔪 if yk what I mean

- So instead of getting Hannah, he gets scared and runs away to Tulsa

- Anyway

- Because the laws are a lot stricter nowadays, Dal and Hannah don't live in the bar

- Buck has a house across the street and the Winstons have the basement suite

- Bedroom, living room, bathroom and kitchenette

- Who gets the bed depends on who gets home first

- It's gotten to the point where Dallas will turn the light on at four in the morning and stand in the doorway so when Hannah gets up to turn off the light he pushes her out of the room and locks the door

- The Dingo is essentially a Denny's

- Sylvia works at Hooters, you can not convince me otherwise

- and she's still hot af

- I feel like Two-Bit would work at a 7/11 or something for extra cash

- Hannah has a stolen iPhone 7

- and has blocked her brother on every piece of social media

- But she still goes onto his posts and cyberbullies him

- it'll be a picture of him and Tim smoking or something with a really stupid caption

- and one comment

- "Mom should have swallowed you when she had the chance."

- Even funnier when they're both at home and all Buck hears is-
