Animosity came into the bunkroom to wake up the newsies. She rolled her eyes when she saw that sorrow's bunk was empty, yet again.
Pep woke up to Ani's footsteps, and rubbed her eyes from sleepiness. She noticed Sorrow's bunk was empty. "Hey Ani, where do ya think Sorrow was off to?" she asked, half already knowing the answer.
Ani took a deep breath. "Two words...and I don't like uttering dem" She shook her head. "At least it wasn't here..."
"True," Pep agreed. She hadn't seen what they had been doing in the washroom, but she had heard plenty about it. "Do ya think she'll be home soon?" she asked.
Ani nodded. "He has ta go to woik. If Weasel catches dem togeddah well we'se lost ourselves a newsgoil." She said.
Pep groaned. "Dat's great...." she said. "Anothah great mornin ta start off the day."
"Yep..." Ani replied looking up at the sound of Klutzy shouting. "wonder what dat is." She said walking towards the door.
Sorrow rolled her eyes. "Let me in da bunkroom!" She shouted.
Klutzy shook his head. "Dere is no way in hell I am!" HE shouted back.
Ani walked over. "What's going on?"
Pep walked over behind Ani. She made a face when she saw the situation.
Klutzy turned around. "Da little slut wants back in!"
Sorrow rolled her eyes. "You're just saying dat cause you want a piece of me!"
He shook his head. "Da hell I do! You're not even attractive to me!" He said looking away.
"See you can't even look me in da eyes and say dat!" Sorrow shouted.
Ani pushed them apart. "Stop it now! Klutzy let her go in." She pulled Sorrow next to her. "Don't do that to him!"
Pep stood there silently, observing the whole situation.
Sorrow sighed squirming out of Ani's hands. "Fine!" She said and headed towards the (infamous) washroom.
Klutzy sighed. "Why doses she hafta keep doing dis to me?!" He asked.
Ani sighed. "I don't know. I wish she wouldn't. She should respect...what am I talking about she's dating a Delancey how can she respect anything."
Pep finally spoke up. "Doin what ta you?" she asked Klutzy.
Klutzy looked at the ground. Ani sighed again. "Ill take care of dis." She said. "C'mere." She said to her.
"K......" she said as she walked over to Ani.
"Well he's been in...well in love with Sorrow for a long time. He's told her how he felt..." Ani didn't know how much to say.
"Well, if she doesn't feel da same way, dontcha think he should accept dat?" she asked. "I mean, I'm not sayin I love da Oscar thing, cuz I don't. How could I love it ta get soaked by me friend's boyfriend and have her not even do anythin about it?"
Ani stared at her. "Yeah I guess you're right about he Klutzy thing but.. He soaked you??" She asked. "Why didn't you tell me?!"
Pep shrugged. "Didn't want ta let too many people know. I mean, I felt a little ashamed at admittin dat I had gotten soaked. Race knew..." she said.
Ani sighed. "Okay I undahstand. It makes me blood boil to think he says he loves her and den hoits her friends. That's so stupid.
Pep looked down. "I've even hoid her tell him dat she'd help him do it one of dese days," she said.
Ani eyes narrowed. "Dat lil bitch! She's my best friend and all but..." She looked over at the washroom and glared at Sorrow.
Pep kept looking at the ground. She wasn't sure if she should have told that piece of information she had gathered.
Ani sighed. "Well I"m gonna keep an eye on her. Thanks for letting me know." she said walking away.
Race came up from downstairs. He had taken an early morning walked. "Letting her know what?"
Pep looked at him. "Oh, just stuff about Sorrow," she replied, with a sad look in her eyes.
Race frowned and put his arm around her. "She come back yet?" He asked.
"Yep, she's in da washroom," she said, shuddering as she thought of THE INCIDENT.
Race sighed. "Well um you wanna use da boys washroom or can you handle... oh wait she's out." He said. Pep glanced at Sorrow for a moment, seeing that she was out.
Sorrow grabbed something from her bed and quickly went to
leave. She looked up to see Pep and Race. "Heya." She said quietly. Race just stared at her.
"Hey Sorrow, where are ya goin?" Pep asked softly.
Sorrow sighed. "I was thinking of going selling...but I might...I dunno. Just get away from here before I cause anymore trouble." She stared at the ground.
Race pulled pep closer to him, as if to protect her form the evil forces of Sorrow. Pep sighed and pulled away from Race. Not that she didn't want to be in his arms, but she wanted to find out what was up with Sorrow...She could tell something was up her sleeve. "Wanna talk?" she said, stepping towards her.
Sorrow sighed. "well if you really wanna we can." She said. Race pouted and pulled out a cigar.
Pep glanced at Race for a moment, gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, and then turned back to Sorrow. "Yep, I really wanna."
Sorrow nodded. "Kay wanna go in the...uh-empty room??" She asked.
"Kay," Pep replied, as she began heading to it.
Sorrow sat down on an empty chair and sighed. "Okay what did you wanna talk about. Dis has nothing to do with last night does it?"
Pep looked at Sorrow. "I dunno, just what's up with everything lately?" she asked.
Sorrow sighed. "You mean with me and Oscar and everything?" She asked, trying to figure out what she meant.
Pep sighed. "Ya, stuff like that," she said quietly.
Sorrow looked up at her. "Well I guess we're getting even more serious. It's really scaring me." She said. "I like it but...I dunno. I feel guilty about something."
Pep looked at her strangely. "I just don't get how da heck you can do dose kind of things! I mean, he freakin soaks me and ya don't even give a crap, and den I heah ya tellin him you're gonna help him soak all of us and stuff! Den I always heah ya puttin all da newsies down when you're with him! I mean, I'se always thought of you and Ani as my oldah sistahs or somethin. You guys are da closest I have ta dem. And now da person who I look up ta as me big sistah is gonna maybe help her boyfriend ta soak her?" Pep asked, exploding.
Sorrow bit her bottom lip and started to cry. "I didn't know he did dat..." She said. she quickly covered her face in shame. Pep was right about it but she didn't know how to help it. she slowly looked up. "I am so sorry." She said, not knowing what else to say.
Pep started to silently cry also. She tried not to, but she couldn't help it. "It's alright," she said, not knowing what else to say either.
Sorrow sighed. "I'm gonna break up with him. I"I'll hate meself for evah but I hafta." She said standing up.
Pep quickly went over to Sorrow and sat her back down. "But ya can't!" she said, out of nowhere. "Not if you'd hate yourself forevah."
Sorrow looked up. "you want me to hurt the only family I have...for the guy I love...nooo.." She said shaking her head. "I...he's the enemy...I'm so sorry...I should have never fallen for him"
Pep started to cry more. "But ya can't! I take it all back he didn't soak me he isn't bad he loves the newsies and he's a great guy." she said, not knowing why she felt so strongly about them not breaking up.
Sorrow looked up at her, she wiped the tears from her eyes. She laughed a little. "Yeah...that's the total opposite of the whole thing. But I...why couldn't it have been me he hoit instead?!"
Pep sighed. "I don't know. But I'm glad it wasn't you. I didn't really get hoit dat bad anyways, it wasn't much. I just - It just hoit when ya said dat you were gonna help soak us, cuz I'd be really scared and hoit in more den one way if I got soaked by you and him togethah, ya know??" she said.
Sorrow nodded. "I"m still trying to figure out when exactly I said dat dough." She said. "I mean I probably did...I get...I get not myself around him. When did I say it?? Where???"
"I don't know," Pep replied. "All I knows is dat ya said it, but ya didn't know I was dere. Ya said it real nastily too," she added.
Sorrow sighed and closed her eyes. she was starting to remember something like that but couldn't recall the details. "God I'm stupid." She sighed again. "I was probably...trying to sweet talk him. He likes that kind of stuff..." She frowned.
Pep looked at the ground. "Ya still said it though."
Sorrow nodded." yeah I know I did. I shouldn't have. I mean...making him happy...even though for some stupid reason it's one of my ultimate goals, shouldn't mean that much..."
Pep shrugged, changing her mood. "Well, I dunno. O ya, I guess I should warn ya. Umm...Ani seemed a little upset about the whole thing...." Pep trailed off.
Sorrow chuckled a bit. "She's always upset at me when it comes to him. nothing new." She sighed. "Are they still talking about the washroom incident???" She asked.
"But of course!" Pep said with a laugh. "No one evah stopped..."
Sorrow turned bright red. "Oh my...does anyone know exactly what went on???"
"Umm, well, people talk. But I think da only one who really knows da whole thing is Ani," Pep said.
Sorrow was still embarrassed. "Good!" She turned redder. "oh boy...and Oscar doesn't see why it's such a big deal.."
Pep blushed a little bit also. "I don't even know da whole story and I'm blushin....." she said with a laugh.
Sorrow giggled. "awwww....I'se sorry. well I'm shoah it will go down in LI history...* She shook her head. "Shoot me now." she laughed.
"I'm shoah it will," she said. "Hey, I wondah what Ani's up ta. She doesn't seem ta call ya a b*tch too often, so dat's why I'm wonderin..." Pep said.
Sorrow sighed. "Maybe I should go find out." She stood up. "Why don't you go out with Race and I" meet you at Angelina's?" She asked.
"Alright," Pep said, as she walked out of the room to find Race.
Sorrow sighed and walked to the bunkroom door. Ani walked into the hall and gestured for her to come in the empty room with her. Sorrow pouted "I just came out of dere.
Ani scowled. "c'mon."
Sorrow followed her in. "okay what?" She asked 'What's up wid you."
Ani sat down on a chair. "Why didn't' you come home last night?" She asked.
Sorrow shrugged. "I spent da night wid Oscar." She said.
Ani rolled her eyes. "Can't you just keep your legs shut for once!" She shouted, extremely loud.
Sorrow stared at her. "What?!"
Race was waiting in the hall." Hey how it go?" He asked her.
Pep smiled at him. "It went alright," she said. "Were ya waitin for me da whole time? I thought you would have left!" she said, her smile getting bigger.
Race when to answer when he heard Ani threw the closed door. "Uh oh...You wanna go?"
"Umm...I think dat would be a good idea," Pep said as she started walking to the door with him.
Klutzy watched as Pep and race left. He sighed and slid down the wall to the floor.
Ani smirked. "You hoid me. You're not dat stupid Sorrow. Yeah I realise you think you love him but...you're...you're gonna get yourself killed."
Sorrow stood up. "I don't' think Ani!" She shouted.
Ani stood up as well "Dat's right! You don't!!" she shook her head. "Do you even know what type of guy he is! Do you even care! He soaked Pep and you didn't' even say a word!"
Sorrow sighed. "I did NOT know about it! Believe me he is gonna hear about it."
Ani grit her teeth. "Sorrow McLennan...get da hell out of here and don't come back till late tonight when I'm a sleep!"
Sorrow narrowed her eyes. "Who' says I"se even gonna come back den?!" She stormed out of the room right past Klutzy not even paying attention.
Klutzy looked up and watched her leave. he laid his head against the wall. He opened his eyes when he heard Ani come out. "Ani?" HE asked. She walked into the bunkroom slamming the door behind her.
Pep woke up to Ani's footsteps, and rubbed her eyes from sleepiness. She noticed Sorrow's bunk was empty. "Hey Ani, where do ya think Sorrow was off to?" she asked, half already knowing the answer.

Klutzy sighed. "Why doses she hafta keep doing dis to me?!" He asked.
