(A/N: thanks to all of those wonderful, beautiful, kind, smart (and the list does on and on () people who have reviewed my story. I didn't know if I was going to continue it, but with all the positive feedback I'm getting I decided that I will. Thanx!)

The three walked to Tibby's. They were taking a short cut through an alley when Jack and Jake stepped out of the shadows. Mouth instinctively stepped in front of the two girls, but they moved from behind him to stand next to him, effectively blocking off the alley.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't the little girl who thinks she can fight" Jake began, advancing a step closer. Sunshine balled up her fists at her sides, making her nails cut into her palms. It was all she could do to keep her temper in check..

"You really are beautiful, doll. Wanna cone home with us tonight? We'll show you a real good time." Jack finished for his twin. This comment pushed her too far. They had tried to pull this same stuff at the train station. She launched herself at them, as did Wild Card. The twins sidestepped and they went flying past them. The twins looked back to laugh at the girls and before they knew it, Mouth was straddling Jack with his knees pinning the larger boy's arms. Wild Card grabbed Jake's arms and held them behind his back and Sunshine punched him in the stomach. He doubled over in pain and Wild Card released him.

"Normally I don't fight dirty, but for you two I'll make an exception" she fumed as she grabbed his hair and gave him a black eye identical to the one he had given her. Mouth knocked the other unconscious and the three newsies left the twins to tend to their wounds. On the way back Sunshine voiced what all three of them were thinking.

"That was awesome" she grinned, "those jerks really had it coming". The other two smiled and they started talking about where they had each learned to fight. Mouth was, as it turned out, half Native American and Half Irish. He had been picked on when he was little so he learned to fight out of necessity. His older brother, who was now out west living on a reservation, had taught him. Wild Card said that no girl in New York City should be ignorant of how to defend herself, and said that before she became a newsie (which was only a year ago) she was a boxer and did exhibition matches. Her boxing name had been Julia "Wild Card" Malone. Sunshine explained that her father had taught her to fight. They both said he must have been some fighter if she was that good. She said that he was okay. She wanted to tell them exactly WHO her father was, but something made her not. By the time the three had gone over their fighting history, they were at Tibby's.

The little bell clanged as the opened the door and were greeted with 'Hiya guys, grab a chair' and 'What took ya' so long?' They sat down with Skunk, Ryan, and Stella and began to tell how they had beaten the Twins.
