"UGH! I can't find a garter! I don't think I even have one." exclaimed Stress digging through a box of her clothes.
"Here, use one of mine" said Quipster flinging a white garter, slingshot style, at Stress.
"I don't like this color" complained Stress.
"Who cares about the color. It's gonna be underneath your skirt! Speaking of skirts whatddya think of this one?" asked Tinker holding up a shin length grayish black skirt.
"Very nice" said Tunes "But not as gorgeous as mine, I'm going to look like a real lady in this."
Tunes smiled and showed everyone her skirt. A long flowing skirt that women in their 20's would usually wear, but, instead of the usual black, brown, or gray, Tunes opted for a scarlet red skirt and perfectly matching garter. Everyone rolled their eyes at Tunes' over-dramatic fashion sense.
Quipster already had her skirt picked out, a simple gray one, but what she was agonizing over was which garter to use.
"I hate wearing these things!" whined Quirky trying on her old light blue pleated skirt.
Quirky sighed and stole a garter from Quipsters collection.
"If you guys gimme yer garters I'll fix the knife holder on for ya." offered Quirky.
Everyone thanked her and threw their garters at her. Quirky sat on her bunk and got to work.
"I still hate wearing skirts" she muttered angrily to her self.
~~~~Meanwhile with the Bronx boys~~~~~
"So let me get this straight" said the raven haired handsome boy, whos name we have learned is Dagger. "You want us to try tah make a group of Manhattan broads crazy for us?"
"Or at least sleep with you" said Aki
"So what do we get outtah dis?" asked a tan boy with blonde hair and blue eyes.
"Whatever you want" smiled Princess devilishly
"Ok" said Dagger taking charge "You girls have got yourselves a deal"
Briar extended her hand for a deal-sealing handshake. Dagger took her hand and suavely kissed it. Briar uncharacteristically blushed. Detecting her weakness Patchess broke the silence,
"C'mon, it's gettin dark, we oughtta be gettin back to manhatten, if we wanna put da plan inta action by tomorroah."
The boys nodded and let the girls lead the way.
~~~~~~~~~~~~The Next Day~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Extra, Extra, tenement fire claims dozens of lives!" shouted Tinker desperately.
"You're not done sellin yet?" asked Quirky.
"No, of course she's not, cuz Tink here still ain't got no gimmick." teased Stress.
"Aw , still nothin Tinker?" asked Tunes, walking over with Quipster and smoking her cigarette.
"Ugh! Can you get that smelly thing away from me!" complained Quirky, fanning away the smoke.
"Well I would" Tunes took a drag of her cigarette and slowly but purposely exhaled in Quirkys face, "but she's my friend, and I like her." she said hugging Quipster.
"Hey!" exclaimed Quipster playfully hitting Tunes.
"Anyway Tinker, why don't you try using my approach?" Quipster suggested.
Tinker nodded, took a deep breath and walked over to the first paper-less boy she saw.
"Heya handsome, wanna buy a paper?" she asked nervously, tapping him on the shoulder.
The boy turned around and slowly looked her up and down.
"Sure" he said "but only if you and your lovely friends show me and me boys here around for a little. We're new here, ya see?" he told her motioning to a group of boys behind him.
"Sure, I'm Tinker, what's your name?" she asked politely
The boy smiled and kissed her hand "The name's Dagger."
"Here, use one of mine" said Quipster flinging a white garter, slingshot style, at Stress.
