Drama kept her green eyes on the track as she settled back into a seat, trying to get as comfortable as she could. Sometimes she just liked to get away from the stage, spend a bit of time to herself...that's what she kind of missed from out West...the chance to get away from people if you wanted, just spend some time with yourself if you so desired. Here, people were packed in on top of one another and most of the time she didn't mind...but some days...she just wanted to get away.
She produced a cigarette and lit it, eyes moving from the track to the crowd and back again as lithe fingers ran through dark hair. Besides, she had money on the pretty grey horse that was riding in position five...it reminded her of her mount out West.

* New Day *
Star had never really been to the race tack in Queens, whenever she wanted to go some ware and bet she would go to Brooklyn, sense someone that she knew was from Brooklyn.
Star had decided to bet on Lucky, today Star felt pretty confident in her bet, after all the horse's name was Lucky,"She has to be Lucky if her name is Lucky"thought star staring at the tracks.

Gwennie was sitting in the seats watching the horses run around the track. she had come there to bet on the horses like the big kids always did, but when she asked to do so, the man at the betting booth said that she was too young to bet. From that point on she had been walking around asking everyone and everyone that she saw to place a bet for her. Sadly, not a single one of them had been willing to do so. she was a bout to give up when she saw a girl sitting at a seat not to far away from her ' she looks old enough ta bet on da horsies' she thought and she walked over to the girl hopeful that she had finally found someone who would bet for her. "excuse me, lady?" she said enthusiastically and pulled on the girl's pant leg.

Star was so engrossed in the race that she didn't even notice a little girl, until the girl tugged on her pant leg.
"excuse me, lady?"
"What can i do for you?", said Star.
Star tried to watch the girl and the race, but no luck, so she had decided to watch the race, until it was over, which was only 30 seconds.

Encouraged that the girl hadn't ignored her Gwennie proceeded to explain her predicament "um, could ya please put down a bet foah me on da nex' race? 'Cause da guy at da booth won' let me do it an' I really really wanna but nobody else I asked would do it foah me" she pleaded, putting on the most innocent and endearing face she could muster.

"Well sense i made enough money to get through poker and two bets i will, who do you want to bet on?" said Star now taking her eyes off the race and now looking at the little, innocent child.
When the girl made the innocent face star smirked.

"What hoahses are dere ta bet on?"
"Well there is Morning Glory,she's a good one, and there is Dancing Princess, she is an alright racer, and there is Charm, he isn't that good but he's ok." Star was gonna list every horse that there was but she got distracted when she saw someone cheering, which reminded her of her race.
Star saw Lucky go past the finish line....last. "My horse just won!!"

"what happens now?"
"Now I go and collect my money, which is 30 cents! Today is my Lucky day!" said Star, smiling and think about what race and Spot would think.
"By the way i'm Starlight...but everyone calls me Star, whats your name?" said Star walking to the booth, with the little girl following her.
"And we go to the betting booth so you can bet on a horse"

Kneeling down and facing the spot which she had indicated as Marvin Gwennie cupped her hand around her mouth and whispered something unintelligable before standing up and answering "we'll bet on Charm 'cause we don' want him ta feel like he's not as good as da uddah hoahses jus' 'cause he don't win as much"

Star saw Gweenie neal down and cup her hands around air.
Marvin is probably her imaginary dog, thought Star.
"we'll bet on Charm 'cause we don' want him ta feel like he's not as good as da uddah hoahses jus' 'cause he doesn't win as much"
"Ok, just...wait here, and i will go and bet on him." Said Star.
