Yeah, that's right. Newsies disappearing left and right. Well, sure they
dropped out of sight every day, but those are normally the ones nobody
cares about. Suddenly the most beloved newsboys weren't at their spots, or
any other spot. Thinking of Spot, he disappeared, too. Played an extra.
Sort of sucks for him. Now, back to the story. . .

"Wow, great headlines," Mike commented after finishing selling our papes hours early. "Now, what do we do with our free time?"
"I dun no, Ma and Da won't expect us 'til six," I said. Tibby's is out of the question. I don't want to deal with the crowds. "Let's just mindlessly wander. Maybe search for the missing persons."
"I dun no about the searching part. They're gone, and not coming back. Ever."
"How can you say that for sure?" I ask, stopping him so that we can face each other. "Charley is one of those missing people. She's gonna be found. Or come back. Or whatever. They aren't gone for good."
"Keep on dreamin'. You know just as well as I do that those who 'disappear'" he stops to add quotes, "never come back. It's just the way that things happen to be. You're gonna have to live with it."
Normally I am a very accepting and adaptable person. But this is different. I've known Charley since, well, forever. I can't not remember her. And Mike is normally right about this type of stuff. I'd swear the guy's psychic. Won't tell anyone, they'd frown upon it. But there's no denying that he knows things.
"Look, Mike, I know you know things. And right now I know you're wrong." Did I really believe that then? I don't know. I know he was right. I think that he knew what was coming, but he never mentioned it. "Let's just go wander aimlessly for a while."
The remainder of the day was un-eventful. I could write it out in detail, but I wouldn't see the point. Not like documenting all of this is going to change what was done, right?

Uberly short, yes. This leads me to wonder, what does uber mean? I mean really, I use the word, yet I know not the meaning of it. I think it's German. And what about Ger-woman? Ah, don't mind me. Shout-outs. I promise a long chappy next time around. Should be soon, though. Woo, go summer vacation.
Seraph- I dun no what's gonna happen next.
Imaginelet- thanks bunches
