Yay! I'm actually writing... short chapters, hope you like.

Raven gave a laugh, "right. You, Queens..." She continued to make fun at Poker, just because of the fact Poker was only 15, and Raven knew her hometown borough. And in fact, it was no place for a child in Ray's eyes.

"What's so wrong with it? I'll live with Cocky, she'll watch over me...a little." Poker nodded looking at Tag, even she was giggling. "Tag, don't laugh, you couldn't survive anywhere but lower Manhattan."

Tag swallowed her laughter immediately and nodded.

Raven shook her head. "Go ahead, I ain't gonna stop ya... but don't do anything stupid, you hear?" She gave Poker a hard shove, "last thing we need is another dead newsie."

Poker opened her mouth to say something, when Zippy came walking towards them, the brown curls atop her head bouncing lively.

"Hi Zip..." Tag smiled, "where you comin' from?"

Zippy shrugged, "I was looking for Skittery... any of you seen him?"

Raven gave Poker one last, 'you're such a little kid' look. "No, I haven't seen much of anyone around here."

Zippy smiled sadly, "oh well. What are you up to today?"

Poker perked up a bit, "I don't know, are you in for making a fuss today!?"

Zippy rolled her eyes, "I'm always up for making a fuss, we could go to Harlem and stir up something..."

Ray looked at both of them, "don't get yourselves killed, much less raped in Harlem. I'm outta here." With that, she didn't wait for anyone to respond, but started walking the same direction she came from, quickly.

Zippy gave Tag and Poker a weird look, "what's she in such a rush for?"

Tag grinned, "well, who else is she always in a rush for?"

Poker and Zippy laughed in unity, "Spot," they said it almost as if they had rehearsed to say things at the same time.

Zippy calmed down and looked down the road, "are you coming with us, Taggy?"

Tag made a face as if to debate whether or not to purposely get in trouble. "I suppose so... I've got nothing better to do, anyhow."

Zippy bit her lip, "no fights with Onyx, are we agreed?"

Poker frowned, "alright."

However, Tag nodded excitedly. "No fights... I like that, a lot."

Zippy shook her head grinning, "I didn't say no fights, I just said no fights with Onyx..."

Muwhhahaa. Hope you liked, please review!
