Milo shrugged inwardly as she plunged her dirty hands into her dress 'oh well' he thought 'It ain't like it was clean anyway'. "Okay" he said in an encouraging voice , relieved that she at least had a basic grip of the concept of payment "now all ya gotta do is pick da candy dat ya want, bring it up ta dat guy over dere" he pointed at the man at the register who,luckily, seemed completely oblivious to the little girl's antics "an' den give 'im da amount a money dat he asks for, okay?" he instructed her speaking very deliberately in hopes that it would help her understand.

"No problem" he said hesitantly, still not sure that she had fully understood what he had told her. Eager to get his own candy, he turned around to face the bins of various confections, making sure to keep the little girl in his peripheral vision the whole time to make sure she didn't go back to doing what she had been.

Walking up to the register to buy his candy, Milo saw the little girl pay the cashier for the candy that she had eaten. He was relieved that she had understood what he had said. It seemed a little iffy at first. After buying his candy, he went over to the girl, who was now near the doorway "Good Job back there" he congratulated her "the guy didn't even get mad or anything. My name's Milo he said, sticking out his hand "what's yours?"

Milo withdrew his hand, amused by her curtsy "dat's a nice name" he said politely "it's unique, like my real name" he smiled at her "so, how old are you? an' where are ya from?" he asked intrigued by her somewhat strange actions.

((New Day))
Walking into the Candy Store, Fire walked up to the buckets and grabbed a handful of candy. He had jus eaten lunch, but desperately wanted goodies.
Putting his few cents on the counter to buy the candy, he looked up at the grubby old man and grabbed the candy and stuffed it in his pocket. Firecracker walked a little farther away from the counter and stood up against the wall and popped a peice of candy in his mouth.

Butterfly had just came from Manhattan and she decided that she had enough money to buy a couple pieces of candy. In Manhattan Butterfly had nearly drowned but, a Manhattan newsie named Mush had saved her, How am i gonna be able to tell Connie about what happened? thought Butterfly Butterfly walked into the store soaked from head to toe, Butterfly walked up to the counter and bought a couple of pieces of candy form the man behind the counter.
Butterfly decided that she wanted to make a new friend so she walked over to the boy that was and said, "Hiya." Butterfly smiled a big smile. Butterfly clenched her candy in her right hand.

As he was eating the candy, the door to the candy store opened, and came in a girl who was soaked. Fire thought she looked at least 8 years old, but he never saw her in Brooklyn, so he thought she wasn't from Brooklyn. Not paying attention to her, he put another peice of candy in his mouth.
So much for trying to ignore the girl, she came up and started talking to him. "Hi." Firecracker wasn't trying to be mean, he just wanted to be alone, but the girl looked pretty lonely and sad. "How come yoah soakin' wet?"

"How come yoah soakin' wet?"
Butterfly looked down at the ground. "I.." said Butterfly, "I almost drowned." Butterfly answered sadly. Butterfly was wondering if he was gonna tell one of her sisters. Connie- he oldest sister was actually very protective of her, and Butterfly was kind of scared about what Connie or Patches would say to her about, dont't swim and don't hang around the pier, and blah, blah,blah.
