"Hey, guys!" Mush exclaimed walking in the room with Lily at his side. "Wow Mush who's this?" Jack asked raising an eyebrow. "Oh this little cutie? This is Lily." Mush said proudly. "Yeah. Hi guys." Lily said shyly.

Soda smiled and walked forward. "Nice to meet ya." She said spitting in her hand and extending it. Lily looked at her in disgust. "You don't possibly expect me to touch your filthy hand now do you?" She asked. Soda raised an eyebrow. "You're new to this lifestyle aint ya girly? You need to adjust to some Newsie customs. Point number one, lose the girly act. You wont last a minute on the streets with it." Soda told her.

Lily looked offended. "Who are you to say?" Lily asked. "Who am I to say? Excuse me little Miss.Helpless but you're the new one and you only know Mush by far. I'd suggest you calm your ass down now before I have to get physical and kick it." Soda threatened. "Soda!" Mush yelled angrily. Soda looked up at him.

"I think it's you who needs to chill out here! You're hounding on the girl and she's new! You're already threatening to soak her! Who are you to say?" Mush asked getting up in her face. "You think you're so bad now don't ya? You and you're little Brooklyn attitude! Why the hell do you need to stay here? Why don't you jusy go? If you're too good for us why don't you leave?!" Mush yelled at her pushing her down on the floor.

"Fine Mush, I will! I hope you die! I hate you!" Soda said tears spilling down her face and ran out of the room. "Mush! How could you do that?!" Jack yelled. Mush stared at the ground. "Now you made her run away! Thanks a lot you jerk! She's still trying to get over her god damn injury with that knife and you treat her like shit! What the hell is wrong with you?!" Jack yelled oushing him to the wall.

"And you, better get the hell out of here before I take Soda's place and soak you!" Race yelled at Lily and causing her to run out. "Lily! Wait!" Mush yelled trying to get away from Jack. "Oh so it's all about Lily now isn't it?" Jack yelled throwing him down. "You listen and listen good. Ever since you let that girl come here you've been nothing but trouble tonight! Soda is gone cause of you!" Jack yelled then ran to go after Soda.



"I hate them all, they all need to die!" Soda shrieked into the deserted street. "Stupid Manhattan, they all deserve to die!" Soda yelled and fell to the ground crying. "I'll get them back, I will if it's the last thing I do!" Soda yelled.

----1 month later--------

"She's still missing." Jack said sadly looking out the wondow for any sign of Soda but there wasn't any as usual. Mush was in a state of depression since Soda left. He really didn't mean to yell at her. He was just to overwhelmed to have met Lily that he got carried away. Lily had come back and she had chilled out and turned into a Newsie, and a good one at that.

"Don't worry Mush, we'll find her." She said rubbing his back. "I still can't believe I pushed her...I yelled at her!" Mush sobbed in his hands. "It's not the end of the world, all you need to do is say sorry." Lily reassured him. "I feel bad enough the way I treated her." Lily said sighing.

"I know you didn't mean it." Mush told her. "Well, I was upset that night and I got up in her face and I feel so bad." lily told him.

Dusk ran in all of a sudden. "You will not believe the news! You must come to Brooklyn at once!" Dusk yelled gathering up Mush, Lily, Blink, Jack, Skittery and Race. Once they got there Spot came out in a panic.

"It's Soda, She's gone crazy! She's leader for Harlem! She wants to have a war with us!"

-Don't get the bad idea with Lily, she got better. Although....This war thing could be true or false. Ya never know what I got up my sleeve. :)
