"heya Blade, Hows it rollin?"  Speedy asked his friend, but there was no response.

"Hey youse ok?  What are you thinking about?... NO response. "HEY!!"

"Huh. What? Oh sorry Speeds whatcha up to?" Blade said.

"nothing much. Whats up with you? Yer starin again. What do you think about when you do that?" Speedy asked.

"OH nuthin' just thinking." Blade answered.

"Bout what?"

"so what ya doin here everyones at Rex's" Blade tried switchin the subject, but Speedy was too smart for that.

"yer thinking bout a goil aren't ya."

"Just an old friend.  Wondering what happened to her." Blade said at last.

"Tell me bout it. It'll help ya out."

"She was like me own sista.  And one night I left promising to go back and get her.  Well lets just say that was a long time ago. And shes prolly forgotten about me.  I wouldn't blame her though, she probably thinks I abandoned her." Blade explained.

Speedy nodded his head.  "well if you want help finding her or something just go to spot he'll find her for ya quick as that" Speedy snapped his fingers for emphasis.

"sure speed thanks."

Speed nodded. "so ya wanna go with rex's with me now?"

Blade nodded grinning "shore. Lets go"

"Do ya even know where we Are?"  Sasha asked.

"Of course I do."  Blade said even though she really didn't but she wasn't about to admit that to sasha.

"Sure ya do." She said under her breath.

"I heard that"

"Heard what?  I didn't say anything?" Sasha shrugged innocently.

"Yes you did.  You dare doubt me!"

"Naw, now I never said I doubted you."

"ya maybe not in so many woids" Blaze eyed her.

"You don't know what your talking bout."

"AHHHHH" Blaze yelled frustrated and charged after Sasha.  "Yer gonna regret that."

Sasha started screaming and running away from Blaze. "Leave me alone. I was just kiddin" she squealed.

"Don't kid wit me"  Blaze leaped and landed on Sasha and they fell to the ground.  They started rolling around in the dirt pounding playfully on each other.

"Well well, What have we here.  Hey Break It UP!"  Someone shouted.  Blaze pinned Sasha and looked up at the intruder.

"Who da hell are you and what gives you the right to tell us what ta do?"

"I'se Spot Conlon and dis 'ere is my territory.  And your distoibin da peace." Spot said. 

Blaze looked around. "HA! What Pease. Dere aint nobody round to distoib anyway." To her dismay he had the nerve to smirk at her.

"What?"

"nothing.  So whatcher name kid?" Spot asked her.

Blaze now fully looked at him.  He really wasn't that bad of a looker either.  He had the most gorgeous eyes she ever saw and a smirk to die for (but in her case only got on her nerves. He was lean and nicely built a little short though.  He had a key around this neck and agold tipped cane in his hand.  He work a plaid shirt unbuttoned at the top, red suspenders and a newsie hat over his cute brownish blond hair.

"Whats it to ya"

"hmm... Feisty eh.  Well if ya wanna stay in Brooklyn yer gonna have ta tell me who ya are"

"Brooklyn.  Is dat where we are.  Howd we get here." Blaze wondered.

"See I'se told ya you didn't know here we were goin." Sasha grinned.

Blaze looked down at her and smacked her head.

"Aw shutcher trap. I'se did to knows" Blaze heard laughing and looked back up at spot. "what're you laughin' bout?  Aint nuttin funny."  She gave him an icy glare and he shut up hardening his look.

"watch what you say goil.  Don't forgit who yer talking to." Spot growled.

"What, a sleaze ball.  OH don't worry I wont." She smirked.  Sasha giggled.

"Dats it!  GET OUT!" Spot ordered angry now. 

"We are out already.  Cant you tell.  See there's grass..   a sun…"

Spot cut her off.."You know what I meant. Now get OUT of me territory"

"Your territory.  I'se don't see yer name on it with a "NO Trespassin" sign. So therefore its open to anyone.  And I told ya not to tell me what to do."

"Whats yer problem kid."

"Again with the kid thing" blaze sighed. "and you wonder what my problem is.  You walk around and act like yer God Almighty hisself.  Whats so special about you anyways, that gives you the right to boss people around."

"I'se already tol' ya .. Im spot conlon."

"wow.  That's nice.  So you mean if I go around telling everyone my name it means I can boss them around too.  DUH!!" she shook her head god im in crackdom city she thought.  "Is that suppose to mean anything to me?"

"Aintchu never hoid o' me?" spot asked dismayed.

"was I suppose to?" blaze asked sarcastically.

"everyone knows who I am!"

"Well please tell us before we die in anticipation." 

"ha ha very funny. Yer pushin it goil." Spot growled.

"Ooh im tremblin'."

Spot ignored her.  "I'm the leader of the Brooklyn Newsies and I'm the toughest most respected newsie in all of New York." Spot said boastfully.

"Wow you must be proud of yourself.  A big boy like you.  Well I'm the gingerbread man, leader of all gingerbread. And im the toughest most respected gingerbread in all of Cookie York." She said standing up now with a smirk.  Blaze loved irking this guy.

"Yer dis close to getting soaked.  Nobody makes fun of me and gits away wit it." Spot ground through his teeth.  HE was really angry now.

"Well I jist did.  Must be world record.  Am I gonna get me picture in da pape now?"  Blaze said sarcastically. Stiking a pose as if someone were taking her picture for the paper. Sasha stands up

"I can see in now. "Girl stands up to conceited... "

"don't forget egotistical" Blaze cuts in. Sasha grins and nods.

"oh ya. I forgot.  "egotistical and conceited Brookelyn leader"."

Sasha and blaze bust up laughing. 

"Are ya quite done now?" Spot growled angrily.

"Aw we're terribly sorry.  Did we make the big bad leader mad?" shelooks at sasha.  " I think we made him mad don't you?"

"I think so too." Sahsa nodded giggling.

Spot was fuming now, but still, to blazes dismay, had a cool façade.

"I don't have time to babysit. So if I see you 'round these parts by the time I get back I expect full cooperation.. and answers." He said dryly and turned and walked away ignoring the grils that were still laughing and mimicking him.
