"Oh... um... I've been waitressing at Lombardi's... it pays well... I guess..." she said, halting every few seconds and looking embarrassed because she didn't want to tell either of them that the reason she hadn't been inside during the night is because she couldn't sleep in rooms filled with people.
"Yeah..." Cheater looked away from the both of them, fixing her eyes on the grass below her feet as if it was the most amazing thing in the world at the moment.

"Cheater," Flick said warningly. He knew something was up and he was going to get it out of her. "If ya don't tell me, I'll...tickle ya 'till ya do." Flick said with a smile, though he was serious.

"I ain't ticklish." Cheater replied with a look similar to that of a cornered animal. Her eyes darted over to the tree, knowing that saying she wasn't ticklish was a downright lie.

Cheater scowled. "I'm a better liar when I'm not being asked really personal questions." She snapped. "Why is it any of your business where I go during the night anyway?"
Finally deciding that she didn't want to be slapped again (not that she thought Flick would slap her or anything) she turned her back on them and mumbled "I can't sleep with all those people in there... and I got too much on my mind. So I've been staying up all night, selling my papes, working at Lombardi's, and sleeping back at the Lodging House for about an hour or two."

"Its my business cause I have ta look out foh my friends. I won't trust anyone else ta look out foh dem," Flick answered truthfully. Then he scolded her, "Ya can't live on one or two houhs of sleep. Ya could faint or somethin' and den what would I do? I would be stuck wit someone I couldn't even talk ta," Flick smiled at her to lighten his words.

She smiled. "But I got work, Flick!" Her voice finally let the note of stress show through. "Work and I just can't sleep with everyone in one room..."

"But would you be able to handle my Newsie job as well as your own" She questioned, looking at Flick with one eyebrow raised in curiosity.

Fancy shook her head. "No Flick... you ain't gunna sell for Cheater..." she went over to Cheater and hugged her quickly. "Cheats, if ya can't sleep in the lodgin' house, there are other places you can go!" she smiled at her. "Like Aria's, Avalanche's or Red's..." she gave Cheater a sympathetic look and placed a hand on her shoulder. "I'm sure they'd be happy to let you stay! I mean Cheats, your like a little sister to me and i'm sorry i slapped you... But you have to be able to get help for your problems or at least find an alternative! If you've only been getting two hours of sleep everynight, your gunna make your self sick! And i won't allow that!"

Cheater yawned and shook head head. "But... I've been doing this for about two weeks already... and you just gotta drink a lot of coffee and then you're fine!" She exclaimed, now thinking that sleep wasn't such a bad idea.

Fancy sighed and shook her head, defeated. "Cheater... Coffee and you are NOT a good mix!" she teased, poking her friends shoulder playfully. "Besides... If you drink that much coffe as regularily as you do, your body will be come immune to it and eventually it won't wake you up anymore.... plus you'll be addicted to it, just like you are to smoking..."

"I can handle it. I mean ya can't sell dat much more den me or my ego might be hoit. But Fancy's idea is good to, ya could probably use both of dem. Sleep somewhere else and I can sell foh ya for a little while until ya get more sleep," Flick said a little distractedly.

Fancy caught onto his distracted expression. "Seriously Flick... Summin's up wit youse..." she stated, her new york accent stronger then ever. "Youse gunna tell us?" She was really becoming worried about her friend, he wasn't... Flick, right now.
