Peaches was sitting at a booth by herself. Today she was wearing a plaid button-up shirt with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows, a pair of dark brown pants, and had her hair tucked up into a newsie cap. She was taking a break from work to get a bite to eat, so she had walked with a friend to the bronx and had him drop her off at Stu's. She was sipping a glass of water, trying to decide on what she wanted to eat. She heard someone come in the restaurant.
"A PENNY!"
She looked up at the boy who walked in the door. She smiled and chuckled at the outburst. Peaches wasn't shy, so she picked up her glass of water and walked over to the booth he was sitting at. "This seat taken?", she asked in her deep southern accent, smiling and pulling the cap off her head, her hair tumbling down past her shoulder.

"This seat taken?"
Matchstick looked up at the red haired woman standing over him, "Nah, sit" Matchstick loved company, he thought about what he was going to say, the first thing that came to his head was "Look! I's gotta penny!"

"Look! I's gotta penny!"
Peaches chuckled and sipped her water. "I see that, darlin'. Nice one, too." She smiled her sweetest smile, "Name's Charli, but everyone calls me Peaches."

"Name's Charli, but everyone calls me Peaches."
"Names be Matchstick, but everyone calls me Matchstick" Said Matchstick teasing.

"Names be Matchstick, but everyone calls me Matchstick"
Peaches laughed, "Ah, a comedian." She waved a waitress over and ordered a burger and fries. "You want somethin' to eat, darlin'? I'm buyin'... Havin' a good day, so it's not charity..."

"Arya sure? 'member I's got a penny"
Peaches grinned, "Yeah, I'm sure, sugar. Save your penny. Who knows, could be lucky..." After Matchstick placed his order with the waitress, she looked him over. "You from round here, darlin'?"

Matchstick happily told the waiter he wanted waffles, it was lunch but he loved waffles, so he ordered it anyway.
"You from round here, darlin'?"
"I's from New York, but I ain't from Bronx, I'ma Queens newsie"

"I's from New York, but I ain't from Bronx, I'ma Queens newsie"
"I've never been to Queens. I'm from Manhattan. I sing at Medda's. You ever been there?" Peaches took another sip from her glass of water.

"I've never been to Queens. I'm from Manhattan. I sing at Medda's. You ever been there?"
"Well I's been ta Manhattan, I've grown up in 'hattan, never been to Medda's though" Said Matchstick flipping the penny up over and over again.

"Well I's been ta Manhattan, I've grown up in 'hattan, never been to Medda's though"
The waitress brought their order to the table. "It's a great place to work. Medda's the best boss." Peaches poured some ketchup on her burger and fries and took a bite of her burger. "So, Matchstick... That's an interesting name. How'd you come by that?" She dipped some fries in the ketchup and ate them.

"So, Matchstick... That's an interesting name. How'd you come by that?"
Matchstick grinned. "Well, yah could say I's gotta... attraction ta' fire." Matchstick took the matchstick that was hanging out of his mouth (unlit) and struck it against the table, causing the match to light. Matchstick became distracted by the tiny flame in front of his eyes, looking at it in adorement. "And what 'bout you? How'd ya get the name Peaches?" he asked curiously, never taking his eye off the flame.

"And what 'bout you? How'd ya get the name Peaches?"
Peaches smiled, "I'm from Georgia, darlin'. People started out calling me Georgia Peach, then it became Peaches." A couple people in the restaurant were watching the flame on the match warily. Peaches leaned forward and snapped her finger just over the flame, putting the flame out. She smiled gesturing towards the nervous waitress and sat back, taking another sip of her water and another bite of burger and fries.

Matchstick looked at the burnt out match, and he frowned. "Hmph," Matchstick pouted and put his chin on the table with disappointment. Then he remembered the waffles in front of him, and he took a big bite. "Mm!" Matchstick said happily after he swallowed, and looked up at Peaches again with syrup dripping down his chin.

Peaches smiled, "Ah, no need to frown, darlin'..." Peaches giggled at the syrup dripping down Matchstick's chin, "Those good, sugar?" She tried to stifle her giggle, but it was too cute. She had seen young boys with syrup all over their chins but never a grown man. Peaches ate the last of her burger and fries and pushed the plate aside.
