A black carriage pulled up in front of the Newsboys Lodging House on Dune street. A short girl with sun darkened hair stepped out as five newsies left the lodging house. One had a black cowboy hat and a red bandana, one had dark skin and curling hair, one had a eye patch, the last two looked like brothers, the younger on had a wooden sword the older a blue shirt. They took off their hats.

"Excuse me gentlemen but I'm looking for some friends. Can you help me" she asked pulling down her worn white cowboy hat. It was just as worn as the newsie's black cowboy hat.

"well of course we'll help you" said the one with the blue shirt, " I'm David Jacobs, this is my brother Les" David said pointing at the younger boy, "this is Mush" the dark skinned one, "this is Blink" eye patch, "and Jack Kelly" cowboy hat.

"so who you looking for" Jack Kelly asked.

"ohh. Well I haven't seen them in ….. five years so I can't remember their names but all their nicknames were horrible. They gave me a nickname. Santa Fe. Mine was the best." Santa Fe said. All the boys but the two Jacobs children looked confused. Jack's face broke into a grin.

"Santa Fe" he asked.

"who else you blabbering idiot" she told. He picked her up into and huge hug which Mush and Blink soon joined. Now the Jacobs looked confused.

"Ok. What is going on? The papes ain't gonna sell them self's. We have to go" David said.

"oh. Sorry. Santa Fe this is David and Les. David, Les this is Tara Gammon or Santa Fe. Her father will own the sun when her grandfather dies" Jack said. Les grinned.

"well I'm moving back. Grand Daddy doesn't even have a week" Santa Fe said sadly.

"you should tell you Father to get Bryan Denton back here. Now" David said.

"why" she asked. She looked like a newsie David noted as they walked to the distribution center.

"because with out him we would have lost the strike. All your grand father did was shipped him away" Mush said sadly.

"Ta, you missed it Racetrack danced on the tables at Tibby's" Blink said calling Santa Fe Ta. Ta is short For Tara.

"Really? Man I wish I could have seen that" she said.

"SANTA FE" Racetrack yelled when he saw her. Instantly she was surrounded by newsies trying to hug, say hi to, talk to, just see, her.

"hey Race I heard that you like to dance on tables now" She laughing.

"Do not" he said pouting. David watched as his only true friends talked with their old friend. Seems like the Jacobs children won't be missed. They are going to tell the newsies at lunch that tomorrow they will be going back to school.
