Jack sighed loudly as he laid on his bunk in the lodging house.
"Hey, Jack, what's wrong?" Bean asked from the bunk below him. She had been hanging around the lodging house nonstop over the past few days, soaking up all her memories of when she was still a kid, free to do as she pleased, when she pleased.
"Aw, nuttin, jus t'inkin about Mooch."
Bean peeked up over the edge of the bed. "What?" she asked, surprised. "I thought you were over her! She did try tah kill ya, after all."
"I know, I know," Jack nodded, "I'm jus tryna figure out how she could say all dat stuff tah me, an den try an' kill me. It jus' don't make no sense."
"She's a woman, she ain't supposed tah make sense, Jack."
Jack looked up to see who was talking to him. It was Kid Blink.
"I take offense tah dat, yanno!" Bean teased him.
Kid Blink looked down at her. "What are you gonna do about it?" he replied, jokingly.
At that moment, Race walked into the bunkroom. Seeing Bean, he sauntered over and gave her a quick, but sweet, kiss.
Kid Blink smiled at the happy couple. "An' who'da thot dat lil' Race would be da foist one tah tie da knot!" he jeered as he poked Race in the side.
Race shot Kid Blink a look. "Shut it, Blink, before I take out yer udder eye."
Kid Blink stepped back. "Woah dere, Race, calm down!" he said as he put up his hands to shield himself.
Neither of the two noticed that Bean and Jack were ignoring their conversation and carrying on their own.
"Well, eithah way, Jack, she's in jail now, so dere ain't much you can do about it. Ya gotz tah find yerself anuddah goil."
"I guess yer right, B."

**midnight**
Sarah slowly crept through her door, trying not to wake her parents up. "Bye, Spot!" she whispered before she gave him a quick goodbye kiss. She had been out with him since eleven o'clock that morning. She prowled towards her bed, not making a sound. She was about two feet away when she kicked Les's sword across the room. Her mother sat straight up.
"What was that?" she mumbled as she looked around the room. She saw David, Les, and Sarah all snug in their beds, so she curled up and went back to sleep.
Sarah opened her eyes. "Whew, that was a close one," she sighed softly.

**The Next Day**
Ted Richards wandered the streets of Manhattan, savoring his last few days of summer break. He was about to begin his last year of school, and he wasn't looking forward to it. He was just about to head back to his home in Midtown, when he noticed a familiar-looking girl talking to a few street rats.
"Sammy!" he called out. "Samantha!" The girl didn't respond. He stepped towards her, trying to make it look like he wasn't staring. As he got closer, he realized that it was Samantha. Maybe she hadn't heard him. "Samantha Nicole Parker!" he called out.
Bean looked around, startled. No one had called her that in a long time.

Hugz & kissies to my two most loyalest readers/reviewers: Petals and Snipah Higgins ::hands them pictures of their favorite newsies in popsicle- stick frames:: Thank you so much!! I love you!! :P I hope you like the upcoming conclusion to my trilogy, tentatively titled "Two Worlds" It's going to be quite different from my first two. (Just a word of warning: Bean and Race are probably going to fight again) (But I'll try not to put you all through another torturous break-up!)
