"Hiya Oscar," said Jack as they walked up to the Distribution Office window "What did ya do to ya arm?"
Countess looked at Q and giggled. Requiem looked at the two girls and smirked.
"I tink we missed sumptin," she whispered to Sapphire.
"What did you two do?" asked Fib.
"Nuttin Fib, I swear," replied Q "Cross me heart."
Itey scuffed his feet and sighed heavily. Revolution, he thought, where are you?
"One year," she whispered kissing him "I'll be back in one year."
"Why?" he asked.
"I need ta know. I need ta find my father." She whispered, "If he's even still alive."
He smiled sadly, he didn't want her to go but there was nothing he could do to stop her. Revolution Frederick was the most headstrong girl he had ever know. He threaded his hand through her silky hair and kissed her gently.
"When are ya leavin?" he asked.
"Tomorrow," she replied kissing his nose "Deres a train leavin in da morning."
"Tomorrow," he whispered.
Tomorrow, the only girl he had ever loved would leave him. Tomorrow, he would be alone but that would be tomorrow. He kissed her again and pulled her close.
"Itey?" said Raider "Dis is Reqieum, Sapphire, Q, Countess and Fib."
Itey smiled at the girls.
"It's nice ta meet ya," he said "and who is dis?"
He smiled at the baby Reqiuem held in her arms.
"Dis is Lily," Replied Requiem.
"Hello Lily," he whispered "Can I hold her?"
"Shoah," said Requiem "I'm goin ta git mah papes, I'll be right back."
"Is that him?" whispered Q.
"I tink so," said Requiem as they went to get their papers.
"Req?" whispered Revolution "About Lily…"
Requiem shook her head.
"Don't worry about Lily, We'll take good care a her." She replied.
"I know," said Revolution as another cough ripped through her slender body "But…Her fadda needs ta know who she is."
Requiem wiped her best friend's forehead with a wet cloth and pushed a flame colored curl off of her pale face.
"Anyting," Requiem whispered.
"Go!" said Mush pushing Blink to Sapphire "Don't be a wuss!"
"I aint a wuss," He replied.
Wiping his hands on his already dirty pants he walked up to her.
"Sapphire, Right?" he asked.
Sapphire looked up at him and smiled. Blink swore that his heart stopped. There was just something about this girl, he thought. Her cornsilk hair flowed down her back in curls and her eyes were a bright blue. She wore a tiny sapphire heart around her neck and dressed in a sapphire colored shirt and black pants.
"Blink, right?" she replied.
"Yeah," he exclaimed "Listen, I was wondrin if you would like ta sell wit me?"
"Shoah," she replied.
"Good," he said.
