I do not own Liberty's Kids. The series is set from 1773-1789 yet, none of the characters seem to age. So I tried to come up with sensible ages for the characters. I had them start aging the year the series ended. Sadly to keep with the historical aspect of the story Benjamin Franklin died April 1790. So he is not directly in the story but, is mentioned.

Ages: I added 3 years to each character's age in the series. I got all my ages from the Liberty Kids website. Surprisingly James is actually a year younger than Sarah. But, to keep with my theme I made him Sarah's age.

Sarah- 18 James-18 Henri-11 Moses- No Clue (your choice)

Liberty Kids: After the War

1: Dainty Fingers (James POV)

It was a hot June day in Philadelphia. I was working at the printing press. The year was now 1791. I wiped the sweat off of my forehead. I put the next paper in the press and pushed down the lever. I tried to pull it back up but, the paper was jammed.

I tried to get the paper out but, my hands wouldn't fit. All that came out of my attempts was getting ink all over me. I needed help. I needed strength.

"Moses!" I yelled.

Moses came running from outside where he was attending to the horses.

"What's wrong James?" asked Moses.

"A paper is jammed in the press and I can't get it out," I replied.

Moses walked over to the press and tried to get the paper out but, his hand was too big.

"We need someone with small hands," said Moses.

I thought for a second. Then I remembered a certain French boy, who just so happened to have small hands.

"Henri!" I yelled.

"Henri is out running an errand," said Moses.

"Well why didn't you send Sarah?" I questioned.

It both dawned on us at the same time. We looked at each other. "Sarah!" we yelled.

I heard footsteps upstairs. Then a pair of feet emerged from the stairs. Soon enough the young woman emerged. She still wore her favorite dress.

I looked at Sarah and couldn't help but, to think of the adventures we had together. But, she wasn't the same girl I watched leave with her parents three years ago. And then returned after Benjamin Franklin died a year ago.

Everyone was upset when Doctor Franklin died. Henri was in France when he died. So Lafayette let Henri return for a couple of years. He will return to France when he turns thirteen.

Moses was beginning to set up his school for children of any race. He came back to Philadelphia and is now in charge of the paper. He said it would only be until a certain event happened. Though no one knows what the event is.

Sarah and her parents came back for the funeral. After the funeral Sarah's parents wanted her to go back to their house in New York. Sarah refused and said she needed to stay to help run the paper. So she stayed and has done most of the cooking and cleaning. She wrote some articles. Just as she did during the war.

I was upset when Doctor Franklin died. He was the father I never had. I felt I owed him so much that I was never able to repay him.

"Do you need something?" questioned Sarah. She brought me back to reality.

I walked back over to the printing press and started trying to remove the paper.

"Sarah, can you get this paper out of the press? It's jammed!" I yelled.

There was no answer. I turned around. Sarah had her arms crossed and looked mad. I knew exactly what I had to do.

"Oh, my dearest apologies Ms. Phillips. What I meant to say was that Moses and I require your services. See our hands are too big to fit in the press. And Ms. Phillips you have such dainty fingers. Perhaps you could remove the paper from the printing press," I said as formally as I could and sarcastically.

Sarah rolled her eyes. She walked over to the press, put her hands in it, removed the jammed paper, and handed it to me. She stared at me.

Sarah had gotten a bit taller over the last couple of years. I was finally taller than she was but, only by an inch or two. She was still the same Sarah though. Same long red hair and same emerald green eyes.

"Do you need anything else James?" asked Sarah.

"No Ms. Phillips. Your dainty fingers' services are no longer needed. If Moses or I require any more of your services we will come and get you miss," I answered. I bowed at the end.

Sarah nodded. I watched Sarah go up the stairs. Before she disappeared I saw her turn around and smile. I could have sworn I heard her giggle.
