Alright I'm stuck at my mom's office with her laptop bored out of my mind so I'm writing. Not like Writing is a last resort because I love it. I just prefer to write at my own computer. Ok anyway school starts in like umm like 5 or 4 days.

Alright people I was reading a story today and the author said that only 40% of readers review. We need to increase that percentage and we can start here. Review or no soda for you; people who don't review when they read will get the 'Giant Portable Blow up Squeaky Hammer of Death' upon them. I'd like to say one more thing to those people that know me in person because you told me you read it. I no longer had a crush on Adam when I started this story. I just used the name because I planned on changing it later and then I forgot and posted it. Yes thank you for letting me clear that up. On to the story!

Chapter 7

            I stopped for a moment and let things process all I needed was one connection to figure out if the book was out yet. Think, think, think, think. Teddy ! That was it. Teddy bear's were named after Teddy Roosevelt and he was the Governor of New York during the strike. If it was the fall of 1899 then the strike was just this summer and he was still Governor meaning that he hadn't been president yet. So Teddy Bear's had not been named after him at this point of time and since Peter Pan had a Teddy Bear named Teddy then Peter Pan had not yet been released.

            "Who's Peter Pan?" The boy repeated.

            "I am," I replied crowing and waving Riley's cane like a sword.

            "No I am," John replied reaching up to try and grab the cane for me. "Ya little cod-fish"

            "No I am; you're Captain Hook,"

            "No Julie I wanna Peter Pan today," he replied getting up on his tippy toes.

            "Ya sure you wanna Peter Pan," I replied lowering the cane a little. "I mean he was a whinny little boy with issues." I was of course referring to the character from the book not the movie. Disney completely screwed that movie over. The movie was so off from the book it wasn't funny. The plot was right.....for the most, but the characters were all wrong.

            "I don't care whose Petah Pan taday," Riley said taking the cane from me.

            I growled but let it slide. I didn't really want to pick a fight with Rile today. John was not going to be so lenient to the older more powerful boy.

            "Spot I need that," John replied jumping up next to Riley who was holding the cane above his head. "But I need it."

            "Julie control de boy," Riley said looking over at me.

            "Hey don't look at me," I replied raising my hands to my shoulders in a shrug. "You're the one who took his sword away."

            "His swoid? It's me cane."

            "Eh you'll be fine for a few minutes with out it," I replied not in the mood for sympathy for Riley.

            Riley didn't like being talked to in front of his boys. I smiled back at the glare he shot at me. Oh, wow, was that a mistake I got a vicious glare from that. I didn't like it when he glared at me like that. The idiot boy, it was probably his fault I was here. I hesitated before reacting and that was a mistake. He saw ill comfort in my eyes and I knew it by the beginning of a smirk on the sides of his mouth.

            "John, leave him alone. We need to go anyway," I said walking towards John and Riley.

            "Go home to mommy Julie?" John asked letting me pick him up.

            "No John not home we just need to go." I replied through my teeth. It's hard to tell a cute little boy that he can't go home to his mom, and even worse you can't tell him why.

            I walked down the dock away from Riley and the newises with several of them that were in the way parting for me. I felt like Moses parting the sea of newsies. Anyway I carried John back to the LH and met Mrs. Konell at the desk. She showed us up stairs to the bunk room.

            The room was filled with girls doing an assortment of playing poker, talking, and getting ready for bed. Mrs. Konell didn't announce my presence, but merely started gathering the things I was going to need. She set up my stuff and the other girls didn't even notice me. Mrs. Konell placed the blankets by a bunk I had to presume was mine and smiled before going downstairs.

            I quickly got John ready for bed and wondered how I was going to get him to go to bed with this noise. To make the matters worse he didn't have Teddy. Teddy was his teddy bear like Peter Pan's Teddy; except that John named his before he knew Peter Pan had a teddy bear named Teddy.

            "Julie I don't wanna sleep here. I want to go home to mommy," John whined as I set him down on small pile of blankets by my bunk.

            "I know John, but we can't now. Don't worry we will soon," I said hoping I was telling the truth.

            "Julie why can't we go home now?" John asked quietly yawning. He didn't understand I didn't know how to explain it to him. This was way too complicated, and I was getting a headache.

            A feeling set in and a fit of nausea set in. I moaned quietly and sat down for a moment. I knew what it was it was hunger. This was my usual hunger signs. I hadn't eaten since that little bit of food David had given me at lunch. The hunger thing did not go with the going back in time thing.

            All I needed was some water I would be able to ignore the hunger till the morning. I wandered over to the washroom and found some drinkable water with John shadowing me. The water helped a little, well enough to keep me going. I could do this.

            I started walking towards my bunk and my foot connected with something or someone and before I knew it my back was connecting with a flimsy table that broke on contact. Yeah looking up from my spot on the floor I saw 6 very large girls. Or at least from position I was in having just broken their poker table they seemed huge.
