[Benny Rodriguez x Reader] "You know, I think red and blue go well together." ~~~~ Summer of '62 was hectic.

The boys at the sandlot didn't think Smalls could throw a ball for his life, nevertheless play baseball. But when a girl decides to challenge them and give them a run for their money... It changes things. Especially for Benny Rodriguez and the reader. ~~~~ Disclaimer: I do not own anything, not the characters, plot line, nor the songs used in this story.

Katelyn is sixteen years old and was born in the year 2005, yet she is obsessed with Elvis Presley and has listened and danced to nothing else all her life. Her grandmother Iris, who was sixteen in 1956 when Elvis was young and famous and is just as obsessed, raised her from infancy since her biological mother and father were in prison when she was born. Because of that, Katelyn is bullied. So she turns to Elvis. His music is soothing and fun and can instantly bring her into a good mood. A miracle happens, and she gets the chance to meet him in New York. Sure she becomes an icon because of her purple hair and a rumor that says she's from the future, but the real thing here is that she befriended her idol, is falling in love with him, and is trying to tell him information about his future that can save his life. Elvis is intrigued by this strange girl who says she's from the future, and who knows all his songs, even ones she claims hasn't come out yet. He finds himself drawn to her and her purple hair.
