A/N: I wanna thank everyone who has reviewed so far! It makes me very happy to know that you like it so far! And this chapter actually jumps ahead and it is now like a year after Sammy has died. I don't say that but maybe in the next chapter it will…but just note that it is! And also in not to sure I really like this chapter. It is setting things up for what is to come in the next few chapters. So I hope you all still like!

--------------------
Match wiped the sleep from her eyes as she slowly rose from her bunk. Looking around she saw that the others where still sound asleep; it was too early for them to be waking up. Walking into the wash room she splashed water on her face trying to wake herself up. She smiled when she saw her bright, two different colored eyes looking back at her. She liked her eyes; her right eye was a light ice blue color, while the other was a fiery green. Her eyes made her stand out, as soon as you met the girl you knew who she was, and they gave her a name, Match.
Brushing her shoulder length straight brown hair out of her face she made sure everyone was still asleep before she quickly slipped outside. The cool morning wind hit her skin making her shiver. She rolled down the light blue plaid sleeves on her shirt and wrapped her arms around herself trying to keep a little warmer.
Match enjoyed getting up early and taking a walk before the Brooklyn streets got crowed and loud. It gave her a chance to think and with everything going on between Brooklyn and Queens right now she really needed some alone time.
The Queens and Brooklyn newsies where never very friendly, but over the past few months Queens had been way out of line. They would come to Brooklyn looking for trouble, and the newsies where getting mad. So Gambler decided to find a group of his boys and go to Queens to figure this whole thing out.
She was upset that her boyfriend, Shadow, was one of those people that where going. She just didn't understand why he had to go. But Shadow was one of those people always trying to prove themselves to others, and always wanted to get in on the action, so he thought this was the perfect chance.
"Match! Match wait up!" Match turned around to see Shadow running up to her. "What are you doing out here?"
"I'm just going for a walk." She replied turning and continuing her walk. "What are you doing out here? When I left you where sleeping."
"No I wasn't." Shadow replied putting his hands in his pocket and kicking a pebble. "I was just lying there and I saw you leave I thought something might be wrong."
Match shook her head and smirked. "Now you notice that something is wrong?" She let out a little laugh.
"What do you mean now I notice something is wrong?" Shadow asked giving her a confused look. "What's got you all upset?"
"The whole thing about a bunch of you going to Queens to straighten them out, I just don't think it's a good idea." She stopped walking to face Shadow. "What if something happens to one of you?"
"Goddamnit Match! Nothing is gonna happen to any of us!"
"How do you know that! There are a lot more of them then you guys have gathered to go. Anything could happen. What if something happens to you!" Match yelled in his face.
"I told ya we are gonna be just fine. Ya don't have to worry bout nuthin." Shadow said pulling a cigarette from his pocket, lighting it, and taking a long drag.
"Of course I have to worry." She replied lowering her voice. "What am I supposed to do if something happens to you?" Shadow turned towards her and pulled her close giving her a hug.
"Trust me on this one baby." Shadow whispered into her ear. "Everything will be just fine." He held her close and stroked her hair trying to comfort her.

After the morning edition was sold all the newsies where on the docks either in a game of poker, swimming in the water, or talking to Gambler about going to Queens. They where planning to go later that day, and had to be ready for it.
"So do we actually know what we're gonna do when we get there or just kinda going with it?" Hawk Eye asked with a laugh.
"Of course we I got a plan." Gambler replied. "But I can't tell ya'll now." He leaned in and lowered his voice. "Someone might here." The other boys nodded in agreement and looked around suspiciously.
"So um…when tonight are we going?" Spot asked leaning back on a beam and crossing his arms.
"We gotta go late." Gambler answered. "Like elevenish."
"Man this is gonna be so fucking cool!" Shadow said excitedly. "I mean they ain't gonna even suspect us coming and we are just gonna walk in there and show them whose boss!" Shadow laughed.
"Yeah man!" Spot laughed patting him on the back. "Gonna be great." He smirked and Shadow laughed.
Gambler stood there shaking his head at the two boys. "Just remember that this is serious."
"Have we ever let you down?" Shadow asked.
"Yeah!" Spot agreed. "We're just gonna have some fun doing it!" The two walked away laughing.
"Just try not to get us all killed." Hawk Eye called after them. "Next time I come into Brooklyn I want it to be when I'm alive, not someone dragging my dead body." He joked.

A/N: Tell me what you all think! And thanks you to Betchya O'Connor for letting me use your characters. Tell me if you like how they cam out so far and I'll see if I should change anything about them! And to xLittlexItalyx for telling me that I should update, it would have taken me longer if she hadn't had emailed me! And yes sorry about the wait I had writers block but I think it's gonna be good for at least a few more chapters!
