After all'a us went ta bed, I decided ta go out on da balcony ta think
tings ova. I stepped out da window ta see Lashes lookin up at da sky and
writin sometin.
"Heya Lash, whaddya doin?" I said, takin a seat besida her.
She shut the book she was writin in and put it down. "I ain't doin nuttin, just sittin heah lookin at da stahs."
"Oh, well I can' leave ya's alone if ya want me tah." I said, startin back in the window.
"Nah, it'sk. How r ya likin it heah so fa?"
"I love it. All of ya's are so nice ta me. I'm just glad I finally found some family."" I said. "Hey Lashes, I'm thinkin bout goin ta Manhattan ta see Cowboy tamorrow. Ya wanna come with me if Hades with let us go?"
"Shoah ting kid. I'd love ta. It'll give me an extra chance ta see Dutchy. By da way, I hoid ya got ya'self a boyfriend already. You'se a fast mova aintcha?" She said lightly punchin me in da arm and laughin.
I looked at her like she was a ghost. "Whaddya talkin about Lash? Peeps heah, is single!"
"Yeah yeah, shoah."
A head popped t'rough da window and whistled, it was Stress. "You guys betta get ta bed befoah Hades soaks botha ya's."
Me 'an Lashes went inside and climbed in our bunks and drifted off ta sleep.
Da next moinin, I went ta Hades and asked her about Manhattan.
"Shoah kid, just don't get ya'self in any trouble."
"Thanks Hades!" I yelled, and scampered off ta find Lashes.
Me 'an Lashes walked ta Manhattan and found our way ta the lodgin house. All tha sights brought back memories, I was so happy ta be back. I practically ran up ta the door.
"KLOPPMAN! HELLO?" I yelled and looked 'round. He came runnin from outta the back.
"Peeps! Where ya been?" He said and patted my back.
"Eh, I moved ta Brooklyn. Needed some'tin new. Is Cowboy around?" I said tappin mah foot impatiently. It'd been so long since I'd seen 'im. I'd been gettin antsy.
" No, no. None of da guys are 'round. They should be back any time though. Why don't ya wait around?"
"Sure thing Kloppman. We's gonna go upstaihs." I said pullin Lashes up tha staihs and inta the bunks. Sure thing, the guys came trampin up da staihs.
"Ah, shaddup Skitts, you'se so cranky!"
"Why don't you shaddup Jake, befoah I soak ya's!" Jake, that was a new name. I'd nevah hoid'a him.
"Guys! Guys! Stop! It's no big deal!" That had ta be Bums, always bein da peacemaka.
I told Lashes tah find Dutchy's bunk and get in it. I found Jack's and sat on it. He came ta it foist thing, not even noticin me, till i kicked him in da head. "WHADDYA TINK YA DOIN? I'LL SOA- Peeps?"
"Da one 'an only. How goes it Cowboy?" I said wit a big grin on me face.
"Whaddya doin heah? I thought you mov...wow....I can't believe it's you!" he said huggin me.
"Ahhh, I just thought I'd pay all of y'as a visit. I brought Lashes wit me." I said lookin 'round fa her. I spotted her and Dutchy actin' all lovey-dovey and I got sick ta mah stomach.
"Well I'd introduce ya's but she seems ta be busy."
Me 'an Jack talked for a bit. Me 'an Lashes decided ta stay tha night in Manhattan 'an Kloppman was nice 'nough ta let us. Da next moinin, me and Lashes said our goodbye's and I told Kloppman I'd be back. We walked down da street ta Brooklyn and I noticed Lashes wadn't talkin.
"Ya alive Lash?" I said toinin around ta see she was gone." Aight Lash, I don't wanna play games. Come out!" I ran back down tha street and hoid some noises comin' from a back alley. I ran towards it and saw Lashes layin' on da ground holdin her stomach.
"Lash! Ya sick or sumtin?" I kneeled down ta see if she was hearin' me. I felt a hand on mah shoulder. I ain't real good at fightin, so I was pretty scared.
"Heya Peeps, whaddya doin back heah?" the sly smile brought back bad thoughts ta me.
"Morris Delancey. What do ya want with me dis time?" I tried ta hide mah fear,and it was woikin pretty good.
" Oh, I just wanted ta know why ya didn't stop by and see me and Oscar. Wanted ta give ya a lil welcome present. I think that 'lil rap in the stomach will do nicely. Hope ya friend likes it."
"Do ya always resort ta violence Morris? Dat's so childish." I said. I regretted it afta, he gave me a punch.
"Now don't get smart with me, ya know what it gets ya." he said pinning me on the ground.
"MORRIS! GET OFFA ME NOW!" I screamed, hopin Jack, or anyone would hear me. Sure enough, Jack and anotha Newsie had been out walkin and came ta my rescue. I hated screamin like a wimp fa him. Jack pulled Morris offa me and soaked him real good. The otha boy helped me up and took me 'an Lashes outta the alley. Morris ran outta the alley with Jack hot on his trail.
I looked at da boy that helped me up. He was cute but I still didn't know his name.
" Thanks Jack, oh yea, and thanks...uh what's ya name?"
"Jake.Ya don't gotta thank me." I smiled at him and he smiled back. He was very cute, I had totally forgot 'bout Blink. That was always a problem wit me, I always fell quick and hard. But there was sumtin bout him dat was diffrent.
"Let's get you back to the Lodgin house, you can go home tomorrow. I will send someone to tell Hades where ya are." Jack said grabbin me arm and takin me back to the LH.
