Two-Bit climbed up onto one of the larger rocks, pulling off her shoes and socks. Sitting down she stuck her feet into the little waves that the barges made as they went by. She needed time to think about stuff, and she had been selling all day in Queens, so Rockaway Beach was the closest place.
Closing her eyes, Two-Bit listened to the sea gulls overhead.

Two-Bit openned her eyes, looking up at Mickey.
"Hi." She said, extending her hand. "Name's Two-Bit. Nice to meet you."

((NEW DAY))
Skittery unbuttoned his shirt, and threw it on the ground. He sat down and pulled off his boots, followed by this socks. The water looked cold, but that hardly mattered, he had risked his neck crossing Brooklyn so he was going to swim regardless. He also choose to avoid selling papers all together; it was late and selling would be slow. And above all he smelled. He was dirty, his hair was greasy, it had been awhile since he had the opportunity to wash off. The murky river would do just fine however.
It was nice to be at the shore. Not many people were around and he figured he could avoid any questions about the past few days. He was unsure what exactly would formulate from what Mush, Race, and Sneaks may have said. It was better just being away for awhile.
Skittery stood up and stretched. He was in a pair of pants rolled up to the knees that were a bit too small (obviously stolen from some other poor newsie) and lacked a shirt - even his trademark pink one. His foot plopped into the water but was quickly removed "Shit thats cold..." he mumbled. He got back in and waded to a flat rock sticking out of the water. He perched himself on top and scanned the river.

Sparks looked over at Blaize, relieved to finally be getting away from the ridiculous amount of women and childrent hat seemed to make up Queens. Both boys were in need of a break. Racing down to the water, that was just an ego thing. Once they hit the shore, the broad Russian stopped for a moment to take off his boots and and dropped his pants. No, he wasn't naked, he had been wearing long underwear with his pants.
Taking a look at Blaize who was almost caught up with him, Sparks rushed into the water. Wading out a bit he dipped under swam out a bit.
"Come on, hurry yoah cake eatin' reah up," he teased his friend. Looking over his shoulder, he spotted a kid not far off, a kid who definitely wasn't Queens. Suspicious he called out to the unknown boy, "Hey kid, wheah ya from?"

Blaize grumbled the entire way down to the water, stripping off his shirt and shoes. He figured his shorts would be all right for now, and waded in after his friend. "Yah, yah, im comin."
He spotted Skittery, and paused, moving up, an eyebrow raised.

Peem pulled his own shirt off, looking over at Sparks. He had come in with Blaize, not wanting to be far from him in a burrough that wasnt his own. "Hey. Cake does his body good." He snorted and splashed at Sparks, cannonballing into the water.

Sparks moved closer to the boy on the rock, recognizing him as one of Jack's boys he had met at the lodging house with Prince. "Sorry der Skittery, ddin't recognize ya witout de pink."
Wading in a bit closer, Sparks looked up to see who had joined them. It was no Queens kid, and he didn't recognize him from his time in 'Hatten either.
"Kid Ise don't know who you are but you ain't from 'round heah and Ise don't take to kindly ta strangers."

Blaize slid in between them. "Naw, Sparky, its okay. This is Conner. He's with me." He flashed the other a smile. "Prince already met him."

Blaize blinked up at the tall kid. "Now why would i do that, Sparks?" He asked, eyebrow raised. "You know me."

Blaize shrugged, splashing water at him. "Always so serious. Ya need to lighten up, Sparky."
