"Yeah, that must be nice to have a sibling around ya." Chizzle said thoughtfully. Being an only child had made him quite lonely and he rarely had time for friends. But times were changing now, and would get out more. Maybe even find a girl and settle down. He glanced at his small pocket watch and noted that he should be getting back to the store.
He stood up, "Well, it was nice meetin' ya 8Chips - and like I said, stop by da store anytime ya want."

"alright, maybe I will, see you later then" 8chips rose and put her cap back on. She turned to go. "Bye Chizzle!" She said over her shoulder.

*New Day*
As Magenta made her way over to the Deli with Lock Pick, she was pretty much humming that song the whole time. She said a few words but was very preocuppied. Magenta smiled at him then sat down at a table.
Taking a look around the Deli, she saw some other newsies, but not many.

Lock walked with Magenta in silence, listening to her hum and speak. When they arrived at the deli he sat down across from her. Lock watched as she looked around, and let his eyes scan as well. He really didn't know many people, so it was really useless. "So, what kinds of things are you interested in?" As he spoke, Lock checked over what things were big enough for two meals that he could afford without loosing money for the day.

She smiled at him and turned her attention his way. "Besides music, I love to swim. It's very relaxing in my opinion, and you can always let your mind soar. I also read a lot. It helps you when you sell, but I also get myself so caught up in the story I never put it down. What about you?"

Lock thought it was cool that she could swim. "I've never swam before." He shrugged. "I mean, I've been to the water, but I've just never gone in and tried." He thought about the many times he ran from the work house to the water, wanting to just get in and swim away. Reading was another thing. He had learned to read from his mother, and he would never forget it. "I love to read; I just like knowing what's going on in the world."

"Oh, well maybe I could teach you sometime, if that's okay.." Magenta couldn't imagine what it would look like. She is short for her age, so it would look like she was 12 teaching an adult how to swim. She couldn't help but let out a giggle.

Lock liked the idea. "Yeah, it sounds like it could be fun." He watched her start to giggle. He tried to think about why, finally it had something to do with her teaching him lessons. He sighed. "Well, do you know what you want?" he was getting hungry so he wanted to order soon.

"Ok, I'll just have a roastbeef sandwich and a water, if that is okay?" Magenta didn't want to be rude, since he was paying for her. "Oh, I forgot to ask you, do you stay at the Queens Lodging House? Or do you stay somewhere else?" She thought that if he stayed at the Lodging House as well, they could become the best of friends.

Lock smiled at her order. "I'll probably have the same thing." He started to think about the money in his pocket; the two sandwiches would be find, though he would probably be in the same place he was this morning. "I live in the Lodging house." After he mumbled "Like i could afford anything else." He flashed a smile, trying to ignore his last words, and got up to order. After paying he went back to the table to wait for the sandwiches to be made.

"Really? Maybe you could meet Melody. We both live at the Lodging House as well." Shining a bright smile his way with all teeth, she saw out of the corner of her eye two boys. Turning her head to look at them, she noticed they were looking at her.
Raising an eyebrow, she turned her head back to Lock, "I hate boys sometimes." Then she giggled a little bit.

Lock liked the idea about meeting Melody. The was him and Magenta were getting along, he figured he and Melody would be fast friends. Anyways, he never had any younger siblings. It took him a second to realize what she meant when she spoke. But then his eyes gazed to where she was looking. He shot a glare at the boys, then looked back to magenta, "If they're bothering you..." He didn't finish, figuring she knew what he meant.

Magenta shook her head with a sweet smile to Lock. "No, I think I'm alright. Only if they," She paused, thinking about how desperate some boys are, and what some try and do to get her, " start being innapropriete, like blowing kisses or trying to make me go over there." She took a glance at them, then looked back at Lock and said, "Ew.."

Lock wasn't huge, but he had worked enough and was strong enough. Even if not, he'd still take them on if events led to that. "Ok, but..." He gave the boys one last look, telling them that he meant them harm if they did anything. "tell me if that ever happens." he said it about the boys, but meant ever for as long as he lived. He didn't want to see any of that nonsense. It was a terrible was to treat a girl. He looked back to see the sandwiches waiting for them. He went and got them, and gently placed each plate, then each cup.
He sat and divided his sandwich into half. "Looks good." He said as he reached to pick it up.

"Thanks." Magenta took a sip of her water and a bite of her sandwich. She started staring at Lock, just watching him eat. She doesn't know why, she just thought he was very interesting, and she thought it was fascinating.
