"I'se sold em all!" said Quipster triumphantly

"Me too" said Tunes taking a seat next to her.

"Yea, but you had 30, she had 200." Stress pointed out

"Seriously how do you guys sell them all? I can barely sell a dozen a day!" exclaimed Tinker.

"It's all about gimmick as I said before, Stress only sells to kids, she threatens to soak em if they don't buy a pape, and trust me, Stress is scary to mess wit!" said Quipster

"Yea, and Quirky pretends to fall down and get hoit so they'll feel bad and buy from her!" laughed Stress

"And Tunes sings out her headlines while she's walking down the street" explained Quirky

"And Quipster's a whore!" said Tunes cheerfully

Quipster glared at Tunes. Realizing she said something wrong Tunes laughed nervously and looked at the ground. Luckily for her their old friend Gears came by.

"Heya goils! how's sales?" asked gears smiling.

They all greeted her warmly and swarmed her with questions and stories. They hadn't seen her in over a year.

"woah, woah woah! one at a time!" said Gears laughing.

"sorry, we'se just so excited to see you again!" said Quirky hugging her.

"Yea!' agreed Stress 'We got alot of catching up to do!"

"Well why don't you goils come to my place later? You can bring your guys, it'll be fun!" suggested Gears

Gears was young but she was very well off. Her parents died about a year ago (hence the reason she had to leave for awhile, clear up legal things and such) but they left her with enough money to live comfortably for the rest of her life.

"Will Crutchy be there?" groaned Quipster

"Yes he will, he is my boyfriend after all." replied Gears nicely but firmly

Crutchy and Quipster never got along, Quipster found him utterly irritating and let him know it, quite often.

The girls all agreed and went their seperate ways to go tell the guys.

"Great!" shouted Lanie popping up from a near-by bush "Now i'll be part of the group for sure!"

Lanie raced back to the lodging house with her new found knowledge.
