Author's Note: Hey everyone, here is another fanfic for ya! I'd like to welcome all those who were daring enough to read this and I hope you like this as I keep adding onto it. Before we begin there is one thing to address: I do not own Liberty Kids, the characters, plots, and anything else. The only thing I lay claim to are my ocs.

Liberty for All

Things were quiet as the morning sun came through James' bedroom window; however that didn't last for long.

"James! James! Wake up James! Wake up!" Henri shouted as he jumped up and down, shaking a sleepy eyed James from sleep.

"Henri?" James managed to mumble when Henri stopped for a breath, "What are you doing?"

Henri ignored the question as he made a dash for the door without another word.

Getting up as quickly as his sleepy body would allow James exited his room and began to make his way to the stairs only to run into Sarah.

"Oh good morning James." She greeted cheerfully.

"Morning," he responded with a yawn, "Hey Sarah, you wouldn't happen to know why Henri is acting the way he is?"

"You mean all that shouting and running around he was doing? I was going to ask you if you knew anything." Sarah wondered, "Perhaps we should go see what he's up to."

Coming to an agreement the two of them turned to go down the stairs only to find Henri crouched near the base of the stairs, watching the opposite side of the print shop.

"Henri, what's going-"

"Shhhh!" Henri hissed, interrupting James' question, then he pointed to the bench by the window.

Sarah and James looked and were surprised to see someone there. A young man was lying across the wooden bench, his head and feet propped up, and his brown tricorn hat pulled down so that all that they could see of his face was his mouth.

"You know it's considered rude to stare." A voice spoke up after a long silent second.

All three of them jumped, and then realized it was the young man that had spoken. Henri went over to the bench and slowly lifted the tip of the hat to reveal two royal blue eyes looking up at him.

With a small jump Henri dropped the hat back in place and hid behind James and Sarah. Meanwhile his antics had caused the stranger to smirk as he sat up and adjusted his hat.

"Sorry about the intrusion." He apologized, "Moses said I could sleep here until more permanent sleeping arrangement was made."

"Permanent?" James and Sarah asked in unintentional unison.

"Oops!" the young man rubbed his neck sheepishly, "I guess I should start at the beginning. My name is Alec, Alec Garrott." Alec smiled as he held out his hand to shake.

"James Hiller." James responded, shaking Alec's hand, "And the little welcome committee is Henri."

With a small chuckle Alec reached out and shook Henri's hand as well, "Nice to meet you Henri."

"Ah-hem" Sarah cleared her throat, showing her annoyance at James' lack of introduction for her.

James rolled his eyes, "And this is Sarah."

"Sarah Philips." She stated matter-of-factly.

Alec gently took Sarah's hand and did a small bow, "A pleasure Miss Philips."

Sarah gave a small smile before turning to James and saying, "You should be taking notes James, this is how a gentleman should behave."

James simply crossed his arms as Henri snickered at their subtle bickering. "So why are you here?" he demanded a bit harshly.

"Well," Alec began, "I'm originally from just outside Boston, but a while ago I met Mister Franklin on his way to the docks heading for England. But he saw I needed work and thought I would be helpful around the print shop, so he offered me a job. I have a letter here addressed to a James and Henri, he told me to give it to you if you questioned the integrity of my story." He explained as he pulled out a sealed letter and handed it to James.

Henri peered over James' shoulder as James scowled at the note; Alec was telling the truth, and much to James' distaste Alec was going to be staying.

"Oh good," Moses' voice came from the direction of the kitchen, "I see you've all met Alec."

"Good morning Moses." Alec smiled pleasantly.

"Is breakfast ready Moses?" Henri asked hopefully.

Moses smiled, "Come and get it."

Both James and Henri made a mad dash trying to be the first to the table but Alec stopped at the door way and motioned for Sarah to go ahead of him, "Miss Philips." Causing James to grimace again, thanks to Alec, James looked so rude and uncultured.

'He's such a goody two shoes.' James thought silently as he jabbed at the food on his plate.

Aralyn: And cut! Ok everyone that's a wrap. Good job ya'll, that was a good run.

Alec: We hope you enjoyed this short chapter debut of Liberty for All, as we keep adding to it we hope that you will continue to read and review.
