6 years later

The newsies strike had been over for about 2 months and it was snowing. Blink was out for a walk after a day of selling when a girl ran straight into him knocking him to the ground. He recovered first giving him a chance to look at her before she started glaring at her. She was quite pretty. She had brown wavy hair that fell to the middle of her back and luminescent green eyes. She was dressed in a shabby skirt that may have at one point been white, but was now almost brown and a pair of cheep shoes with holes in them.

"Watch wear you're goin!" she yelled at him. Then she saw the eye patch and started staring.

"What, ya nevah seen a guy wid an eye patch befor?" Blink asked noticing what had caused her silence.

"No, you just reminded me of someone I used to know who had lost his eye when I'se was little." She said slowly.

Blink decided that since she was so pretty that he should at least try to be nice to her. He didn't like those eyes glaring at him. They reminded him of someone. He got up and held out his hand to her "Me names Kid Blink, but you can call me Blink, everyone does."

She hesitated for a moment then decided not to tell him the truth "I'm Amy, but everyone calls me Aim, 'cause I am real good with a sling shot." She said smiling and showing him the one in her belt.

Aim, the name sounded familiar, but from where? "So why are ya out on the Streets of Manhattan in da middle of winter without even a coat? Ya run away or somethin?"

"Yeah, I was in da refuge for about two years, and about two years ago I got put in an orphanage. I just escaped three days ago. I should ask ya the same, what are ya doin out here?"

"I's live nea here. In da newsboy login house. I's a newsie. Ya need some place ta stay?"

She didn't want to ask this boy, Blink he had said his name was (obviously a nick name) for help. But the last few weeks had been awful sleeping out in the cold, and she didn't have any money so she decided to let him help. "Dat would be great."

Blink was surprised; she must be pretty desperate he thought. "Ya's can come with me, they have some small rooms in da login house were they let goils stay sometimes, at least they do for Kloppman's nieces. Kloppman is da guy who runs da login house. He's real nice, all da guys are. Come on."

They arrived at the Lodging house fifteen minutes later, it had begun too snow harder, and it was hard to walk through. Blink led her into the building and she saw an old man sitting in what must have been the Lobby.

"Blink, what's this here?" The man asked.

"Kloppy, this is Amy, I's was wonderin if she could stay wid us. In one a da little rooms that ya have for ya nieces?"

Kloppman looked the girl over, and could see that she was in sad shape. "Sure she can. It's just 2 pennies a night and ya can stay as long as ya like as long as ya don't cause no problems with da boys."

"Thank you sir." Amy said handing him 2 pennies. "Could ya please tell me were da room is."

"Blink can show ya. Put her in Ana's old room, she won't be visitin for a while, especially since she got married!" Blink and Kloppman laughed.

Blink started leading Amy up the stairs. "I'll have ya meat the boys foist, and den ya can get settled."

"Hey boys! We's got us a goil stayin wid us for a while!" Blink yelled.

At this all the boys got up and came over. "Guys, dis hea's Amy. Dis is Mush, Crutchy, Bumlets, Racetracks er Race, he goes by eitha, Specs, David, Skittery, Dutchy and Snipeshootah. I think da rest is at a pokah game or somatt. And dis hear is Jack Kelly also known as Cowboy. He is da head of da Manhattan Newsies, an one a me best friends."

Amy was greeted enthusiastically by all the boys. Jack came over, "Hi. So ya gonna try ta be a newsie too?" he asked with a small grin.

Amy smiled too. He was handsome, but not as much as Blink she thought to herself. "I ain't really thought about beein as I just got here an all. So can goils be newsies?"

"Sure, just not many want ta, it ain't the most glamorous job around, but it keeps us fed. If ya want ta Blink can show ya on Monday. There's no point in sellin tammarow, because most people won't be out with all dis snow, an its Sunday. Welcome ta Manhattan!"

After that Blink showed her to her room and she fell asleep almost at once.

Blink stayed awake thinking. Her name, eyes and personality all reminded him of someone. Maybe he should take her to Brooklyn; Spot would probably know something about her, especially if he knew her from his before newsies days. Plus, Spot usually knew what was going on in New York. This decided he went to play poker with Race and Skittery, and lost about 20 cents in the process.

The next morning she woke up warm for the first time in a long time to the sound of someone banging on her door. She got up and yelled for the banger to come in. It was Blink.

"Hey Aim, how did ya sleep?" he asked sleepily.

"Great! It's a real nice room. Thanks for helping me wid all this." she said with a smile.

"No problem. Since we's ain't sellin taday, I was wonderin if ya wanted to go over to Brooklyn and meet some friends of mine, plus Brooklyn is always worth a visit."

"Sure!" she said excitedly. "I'll be down in a minute."

They reached Brooklyn after about forty five minutes of walking.

"Well if it ain't Kid Blink," Said a voice from a top one of the snow banks. The boy then jumped down and spit into his hand shaking Blink's hand. He was about 14 and 5'8". He was carrying a cane with a gold top, and had a slingshot stuck in his belt. He turned to Amy.

"So who's dis Blink? And why is she stairin at me?" asked the boy.

"Spot this is Aim, she is stayin at the Login House in Manhattan for a while, and starin seems to be her way of meetin new people." He said jokingly.

Amy was staring, first at the cane and then at the name. Quietly she said "Alex?"

"Yeah, dat's my real name, how did ya know?"

But now Blink was staring at Amy "Amilia?" he asked.

"Yeah," she said.

"Is you's sayin that me sista, who I saw get shot six yea's ago is now standin in front a me, alive?" Spot almost yelled.

"I think so Spot." Blink said quietly to Spot "She has da same eyes, and da name adds up, and she knew ya. I think she really is ya sista Alex." He said reverting over to Spots real name which he hadn't used in years. Then he turned to Amy "But we's saw ya shot, I was dere, there was no way ya coulda lived!"

"You're Jason aren't you?" she asked, he just nodded his head. "Well then I guess I should tell ya guys everythin. Yeah, I was shot, but he had never meant ta shoot me, just get ya fatha's wallet Jase. So when he saw what he had done, he took me to a doctor. I was only shot in da shoulda, so I lived. When I was betta, he took me to da police sayin dat I had tried to rob him and that he had shot me in self defense. He used your fatha's wallet as evidence that I was a thief, and got me sent to the Refuge for two years. I got out and they found me and put me in an orphanage, and I escaped two weeks ago. So what happened to you guys after ya thought I was dead?"

Blink was the first to answer after all this, "I got found by Jack, and he took me to da login house and taught me ta be a newsie. I ran inta Alex about three weeks later at a poker game."

There Spot took over "I had been found by one a da Brooklyn newsies, and he was me sellin partner. I fought some guys a couple yeas ago and became da king a Brooklyn afta Snap left ta find a real job. God Aim, I thought ya was dead all dese yeas and ya was still in New York." At this he came over and gave his sister a hug. "So da ya wanna stay here in Brooklyn? Ya could be a newsie here."

"Hey," said Blink before Amy had a chance to reply "We found her foist, and she already promised to sell wid me on Monday."

Amy started laughing "I did promise Blink, and I kinda like Manhattan, I'd like ta stay der for a while."

"Alright, But I'll come see ya in a couple a days. Take care a me sista Blink, or I'll have ta soak ya!" Spot gave his sister a hug, and Amy and Blink headed back to Manhattan.

"So why did ya decide ta stay in Manhattan?" asked Blink, not believing the reasons she had told Spot.

"It's like I told Spot, and it's been so long since I seen him I thought he was dead. It's just too much to deal with right now, I need some time to get away from it all and think."

"Wad about me? Ya say it's too much see'n ya brodda."

Amy thought about this for a moment "You was older, eleven then, you could probably get a job, and at least not freeze or starve. I always believed that you were ok. It was just too much ta think that both a ya had died. And right afta me parents and everythin'"

Blink put a comforting arm around her shoulders and she leaned her head on his shoulder.

"Thanks Blink. Come on, it's getting dark, and I think it might snow again."

They started walking again. A few minutes later Amy asked "So da ya have a goil?" she asked jokingly.

"Why dose ya wanna know?" Blink asked curiously.

"Cause I wanna know if I'ma gonna get soaked for doin dis!" she said lobbing a snow ball into his face.

"Aw, you's gonna pay for that now." he said throwing a snowball at her and missing on purpose.

"Aw little Jason can't stand a wittle snow." She said throwing more snow at him.

"That's it, you's is gonna die now!" he said running after her and tackling her in the snow and started shoving it down her back. She shoved more snow in his face and proceeded to try and tackle him. By the end they were both laughing.

"It's good ta have ya back Aims."

"You too." she said giving him a hand up. "Now let's go change into something dry." She said and started off in the direction of Brooklyn.

"Uh Aims, Manhattan is this way." She laughed and followed him.

When they got back to the lodging house Amy realized that she didn't have anything to change into. Blink had obviously realized this too, because he came into her room a few minutes later with a shirt and pants of his own.

"I realized ya probably didn't have anythin' else ta wear, so ya can wear these until your stuff dries." Blink said dropping the things on her bed. "I don't think ya brotha would be to happy if ya froze. I really don't need him soakin me right now!"

Amy smiled "Like he could really do much ta ya!"

"Remember who taught ya brotha how ta wrestle? He ain't bad in a fight and deadly with dat slingshot of his, also my fault." he said grinning "Now I'll leave ya alone ta get dressed, then come out and join us, I can teach ya poker too."

Amy did her best with Blinks clothes, but they were a bit big, finally she had to roll everything up about four inches and button the shirt up all the way for it not to dip down. Then she came out into the bunk room.

"Hey Amy, I hoid ya's Spot's sistah!" Yelled one boy, Amy thought it was Race.

"Yeah, we's been related for years!" She said smiling. She got a few groans, "Sorry, that was pretty lame, wasn't it?"

The night was fun. Blink lived up to his word and taught her to play poker. She wasn't very good at it, but she beat him twice. Later she realized he had probably let her win. The boys had started telling her stories about Spot, and she added in her story of how he had got his nickname which Blink had been too worried to tell before, it was one of the things that would get Spot to kill you, he told Amy. But she reasoned that he was not likely to kill his own sister, especially after the threats he had made to Blink earlier.

She woke up the next morning to Kloppman yelling at all the boys to get up. She put on her old things which had dried by now, and met Blink down in the Lobby. He had an old jacket with him that he said was one that Kloppman's niece's that she had left behind.

"Here, I noticed ya didn't have one, and it's really cold out der." He said shyly, handing her the jacket.

"Thanks, that's so sweet of ya!" she said slipping the jacket on, it fit pretty well.

"No problem. So ya ready for your foist day as a newsie?"

"Lets go." she said smiling confidently.

As they walked he told her about the life of a newsie. "We usually meet at Tibby's after we sell all our papes; I'll show you that later. By the way, ya should watch out for these two goons who work for the paper. They's is da Delancy Broddas, but de shouldn't botha ya if ya's with us." He noticed she had stopped. "What's wrong?"

"D-did ya say da Delancy broddas?" she asked. Blink could see a look of terror on her face that confused him.

"Yeah, but dey won't hoit ya just for getting ya papes." He said, really confused.

"I-I can't sell today, I ain't felling well." she explained quickly and then fled toward the Lodging house.

Blink started to go after her, but realized that it would be better to get his papes before they ran out, and it would give her some time to cool down. But he hurried.

When he got to the distribution office, he bought his papes and Jack asked him "Hey Blink. Where's Amy? Wasn't she sellin' wid ya taday?"

"Yeah, but she ran off as soon as I mentioned da Delancy's. I don't know why. I think she went back to da login house, and I was gonna go check on her as soon as I got my papes."

Blink took off towards the lodging house, but he was almost running. Jack could tell he was worried.

Morris Delancy had heard this whole thing. "Hey Oscah', I think we's found Amy! She's staying wid da newsies!!"

I guess I should go pay her a call then." Oscar answered leaving and heading after Blink.

Blink found Amy in her room crying "Aim, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing!" She yelled "Just leave me alone!"

"I just want ta help ya Aims! Can ya tell me what's wrong?" He asked sitting next to her on the bed. "Please?"

Amy looked at him. He had saved her after just meeting her two days ago. He had always helped her when they were younger. She knew she could trust him. "Ok." she said quietly "Well ya know how I said I was in da Refuge for two yeas? Well I beat a guy up in der because he was hoitin one a my friends. He got out a few months before I did. When I got out, he and some of his friends found me, and dey beat me up poity bad. Da Delancy's found me and da took me back ta der place. When I woke up dey was goin on about how dey had saved me and dat I owed em so I should be Oscah's goil. I didn't want ta, so I ran away from em. Dey found me about a yea later, and told me I still owed em. I told em I would still not do it so they beat me up. That's when I was found and put in dat orphanage. Oscar saw me once, but I was with de odda goils, so he couldn't do anythin ta me, but he promised that as soon as he found me, he would make me his or kill me."

She was really quiet after this. Blink just put his arm around her shoulders, and hugged her as she started to cry again. "I guess I should take Spot up on his offer and go ta Brooklyn." she said finally.

"Hey, you's a Manhattan newsie, and we's'll take care a ya. I promise he won't eva hoit ya." Blink said defiantly.

"It sounds like ya little friend really wants ya ta stay, unfortunately that won't happen. Hi Amy, did ya miss me?"
