Disclaimer: Same as before, I still own the plot, Sprite (Elizabeth), Blake, and the DISCLAIMER! I don't own the boys, Bayou, Marit, Slider, Firecracker, Spark, Atlantic, Birdy or Smartass, they own themselves and were kind enough to let me borrow them for a while. Hope you enjoy this nice long chapter, and please review :)
Smile,
~Sprite~

Last time on The Guardian:
"Sprite, I really wanna tell you'se t'ank you. I tawked ta Fiah, an' found out what I said to ya. I was a total jackass. Heah you save Bayou's life, an' I'se a joik. Can you foahgive me? I really wanna be yoah friend if I can." Spot spit (sounds funny lol) on his hand and held it out. Sprite looked at it for a moment before smiling and spitting into her own. That was the beginning of a wonderful friendship, and maybe something more...
Now back to the show!
Chapter 10:
After Spot left, Sprite spent some quiet time with Mush. He was still sleeping, and looked so vulnerable. Liz felt it was her job and duty to protect him, and keep him safe from the horrors of the cruel world. Sprite brushed his dark bristly hair away from his face, and traced the contours of his face with her fingers. He looked so boyish and sweet while he slept, he was truly beautiful.
Mush awoke a few minutes later.
"Sprite, you'se okay? I'se worried sick." He sat up quickly and took Sprite's hand in his own before he knew what he was doing.
"I'm fine Mush. Thank you for yer concern though." Mush didn't understand why she was being so formal, but just brushed it off as a result of the stressful day she'd experienced. Mush was still holding Sprite's hand when Avi finally entered the room. The two jumped when the door flung open, and dropped hands. Smartass ran over to Sprite and hugged her, not saying a word. Sprite hugged her back and then looked at her.
"Sprite, t'ank you so much! If you'se wasn't heah, Bayou'd be dead, I know it! You'se an angel from heaven, t'ank you." Again Smartass pulled Sprite into a hug and squeezed her tightly. Sprite flushed in embarrassment and spoke, trying to get the attention off of her.
"Well, I'm just glad he's okay. What happened anyway?"
"We'se was walking down by da habah. Bayou saw some newsies fightin', and t'ought we outta move out. The fight got real big, and dey stahted attackin' anyone. Bay was in da way. Oh, i' was horrible. I'se just soo glad he's okay." Sprite smiled, thankful Avi's boyfriend was all right. Avi left a few minutes later to be with Bayou, and Slider entered the room. Mush noticed the looks Slider was giving him, and made a quick exit. Sprite sat down on the bed she had been sleeping on and motioned for Slider to do the same. She declined, and started pacing in front of the bed.
"Sprite, I know I'se been kinda a joik lately, but I'se had a lot on me mind, and I'se woikin' out lots a t'ings. You made Avi real happy. She'da been crushed if somet'in' 'appened ta Bayou an' we couldn't help 'im. You'se a good kid, 'm glad ya heah." Slider smiled for the first time since Sprite had arrived, and her smile was contagious. Sprite was ecstatic that she had lost two enemies, and gained two friends. Sprite spit into her palm and held it out to Slider, who shook it. "Now dat, dat's ovah, I'se gonna go. You gonna come home ta night?" Slider asked. Sprite thought for a moment.
"Yeah, I'll come home ta night. You can go ahead, I've got some things to talk to Bayou about and I gotta grab Clue and Mush before we head back." Slider nodded, her dark brown hair covering her hazel eyes. Sprite sighed after Slider exited the room. She was totally worn out, and ready to go home for a nice long rest. The long hours of being a newsie had taken their toll on her, and she felt like she was getting sick. While her muscles and strength improved (as well as her ability to "improve the truth"), her exhaustion mounted. The blonde managed to pull herself out of the bunk room, and made her way to Bayou's room. Sprite found him alone, sitting upright on the bed rest.
"Sprite!" Bayou called out upon seeing his nurse and savior.
"Heya Bayou, how's it rollin'?" Bayou laughed; Sprite still hadn't quite picked up the New York accent.
"'s aight. So, Doctah Sprite, how much longah ya t'ink I gotta stay in da bed?" Sprite walked over to him, and gave him a quick check up.
"Well, you have some nasty bruises on ya, as well as some bad cuts. All in all except for a few possible bruised ribs, I think you'll be fine. I recommend plenty of sleep and TLC from Smartass," Bayou grinned widely at that comment, and Sprite couldn't help noticing just how much he and Mush looked alike. Maybe they were related somewhere down the line. She'd have to look into that later. "Anyway, do those, and you should be out ready ta hawk da headlines in a few days." Bayou nodded, and thanked Sprite immensely. Sprite left the room, and walked downstairs to find Clue and Mush. She found them conversing with Spot and Firecracker.
"Sprite, how ah ya goil?" Fire asked Sprite who looked completely wiped.
"I'm fine, just a little tired. I think I'm gonna just sit down for a moment." Sprite said before sitting down on a nearby bench. Fire, Mush, Spot and Clue continued their discussion, until Clue realized what time it was.
"Geez, is' neah eight. We'se gotta be headin' back." Mush stood up to go find Sprite as Spot asked,
"Will you'se all be aight? Do ya wan' me ta find you'se a Brooklyn escoit?" Marit shook her head.
"Naw, Mushy'll keep us safe, woncha?" Mush nodded and grinned, finding Sprite dead asleep on the bench. *This seems so familiah an' right,* Mush thought to himself, picking up Sprite and heading to the door.
"Night Mush, Clue, Sprite," Spot said as the trio started to leave. Fire waved them off, and the group headed out. Mush was silent the whole walk home, leaving Clue to think about some pressing issues. 1. What was going on with Sprite and Mush? 2. When were Avi and Bayou gonna get engaged? 3. How exactly did she feel about Race?
By the time the trio returned home it was about nine thirty and they were all fatigued. Mush dropped Sprite off in the Lodging House with Clue, before leaving and going home to his own Lodging House for the evening, unaware someone had been watching the group the whole way from Brooklyn.
The next morning Sprite awoke feeling more refreshed than she had in a long time. She could even hear the birds singing...inside the lodging house? The blonde sat up quickly upon hearing the birdlike songs, expecting to see a Jay or Sparrow. Instead, she saw a very tiny newsie with pale blonde hair and dark ocean blue eyes. It took a moment for Sprite to realize that the huge sound was coming out of the small being. "The Bird" looked at Sprite before wishing her a good morning in an accent very foreign to Sprite. "Bird" left, and Clue entered. Upon noticing the girl's confused looks, Clue told Sprite about the blonde.
"Name's Boidy, an' she's from Scotland, 's why she's got da funny accen'. She's oah age, but don' talk too much." Sprite was about to ask why when Clue continued, "She was married an' was pregnan when 'a boy Shine an' 'a was attacked. Da bums killed Shine an' Boid's unboahn baby. She only sings now as a remindah of 'a baby an' husban'. 's really sad in me opinion, but we'se all love 'a jus' da same." Sprite nodded in sympathy and agreement.
The days passed from summer to fall and from fall to early winter. Sprite was still pained when she thought about Mush and Tart who had seemed to be getting closer as the seasons changed. Sprite's relationship with Slider continued to improve and the two were as close as Slider would let them get. Sprite had also improved her relationship with Spot, who had become her male confident. She told him everything and listened with an open ear and mind when he gave advice. What she didn't notice, were the looks of longing he gave her...
