Pie Eater watched her bare legs poking out of the water, the little waves beating against them. It was funny, seeing a ladies legs was so taboo in society but yet they were so removed from it - hell a girl wearing guys clotches was taboo as was a yong man like himself swimming in his underwear. Society was lame, scared of everything.
He threw his clothes on some sunny rocks after wringing them out, hopeing they might dry a little before he had to wear them home. Back in the water, he made his way over to Fire's pale feet poking up. He smirked and pushed them gently forward to throw her off balance. It wasn't much of a trick or prank but just messing her up was amusing enough.

Firecracker's legs tipped easily, bringing her whole body down slowly. That was another thing she loved about water; things never seemed to hurt as much as they would had she been on land. Easily, she curved around in the water, glaring at Pie Eater's legs. With a quick quick, she rammed her own feet into his legs before swimming away quickly, grinning as she resurfaced. The girl was known not to get mad, but to get even, and fully lived up to her reputation.
Pulling herself onto the dock, she grinned impishly down at the newsboy, as she herself sat, soaking wet. Unlike her friend, she seemed not to mind the fact that she was dripping wet. Small by nature, the fact her clothes were sticking uncomfortably to her skin made her only look like more of a midget. Funny how she could have such a big personality while being so small herself.

The jolt to his leg's caused Pie Eater to loose his footing and fall completely underwater. When he surface he coughed and spat out as much of the brackish water that he swallowed as he could. Disgusting. The salt always caused his eyes and throat to burn slightly. By the time time he got his barrings together Firecracker was pulling herself onto the dock.
"Thats it, yer done, girl!" He yelled and swam underneath the dock so he was out of her view. He climbed up some of the wooden braces so she couldn't see him and popped out in front of her at the last minute. in a few quick motions he grabbed her small ankle and pulled her down so she tumbled into the deep water with a sudden splash. He hung from a beam laughing.
"Serves ya right!"
He easily hoisted himself onto the actual dock and laid down in the sun to dry off. He chuckled to himself a bit looking out into the water. She made him act several years younger, which was refreshing, especially with how stern everyone had been with the war breaking out and all. But then again did she understand when to be serious and close he mouth? Probably not.

Firecracker, mentally cursing her petite build and the gene pool of her parents, landed in the water with a loud splash. Luckily, she was smart enough to close her mouth and eyes before hitting the sea. Unluckily, she had tried to take one more breathe of air through her nostrils, and now they were burning from the salt water. Curse Pie Eater, the evil newsboy. Okay, so she had done the same to him, but still. She resurfaced a few moments later, seriously considering taking his clothes and running off with them, leaving him to travel through Brooklyn in his underwear.
"I'm glad my pain amuses you, Doctah," she stated, rolling her eyes and climbing onto the dock, mock glaring at him. She'd get him back later, when she wasn't feeling so lazy. If he thought his clothes smelling like sour milk was bad, she wondered how he would react to his bed sheets smelling like spoiled lactose.

"Ya don't have any room to complain, girly "He laughed at her, feeling quite good about himself since he was able to get the last prank in...for now anyways. He was quite aware that this was a never ending cycle. Pie rolled over hoping to dry off the other side of his body, the winds were chilly when you were wet.
"Lets get outta 'ere when my clothes are dryer.." He suggested, his face almost pleading. The thought of crossing Brooklyn again didn't sit well with his stomach, but the idea of crossing at night was enough for him to vomit. though Spot was small, he had big friends and Pie Eater never had the desire to find out what those big friends were capable of doing...

Sneaks slipped onto the scene, heading to the water. He wanted to wash his cut out himself, not have a girl do it. Shuffling his cards, he sat them down on the shore with his shirt, carefully putting his head under water ruffling his hair to get the crusty mess out of the back of his head.

"Nah, let's wait until night, sneak inta da Brooklyn lodgin' house, take Spot's cane, and den whack him wit it," Firecracker stated very sarcastically. "I ain't dat stupid ta stick 'round 'ere long enough, and don't ya dare say 'couda confused me!'"
She rolled over onto her back, stretching out. In the warm sun, her clothes were already drying, even with the wind. The Manhattan newsie shivered slightly, her light green eyes looking over the sea. Seeing another newsie, she cocked an eyebrow, recognizing but never had she met him. Getting up, she cocked a head at him, poking Pie Eater while preparing to talk to the guy.
"Hey kid, do ya gotta name or do ya jist respond ta 'Hey You!?'" she asked, good naturedly of course.

Sneaks flung his head up, water splashing over his chest a bit. He smirked mysteriously, as usual. "Sneaks. But I'll respond to Hey you just as well." He picked up his cards and started shuffling them. "'hattan newsie. I assume you are too."

"Yes...But he also answers to a number of other things." Ace had been on his way to meet Prince, but wanted to take a slight detour, just to see if any of his kids were in Queens.

"Yup, we're 'Hattaners," Firecracker stated, smiling slightly. "I'se Firecracker, and dat's Doctah, more commonly know ta da rest of da woild as Pie Eater."
At the arrival of the Bronx leader, she cocked an eyebrow. She didn't exactly know if he was from the Bronx, but she had a feeling he wasn't from Manhattan, or Queens. And defiantly not Brooklyn, so that left Bronx. However, she merely shrugged this off. Even though she rather liked a good fight, she wasn't about to soak--or at least try to--anybody without a good enough reason.
"Oh, ya shouldn't a told me dat," she stated to Ace with a fake wicked grin. "He'll have new nickname by da end of dis week, and I ain't makin' no promises dat it'll be a nice one."

He smirked at her, coming down a little further. "Do remember to tell me, i would love to use it too." He grined at Sneaks. "how's it goin?"

Sneaks looked at Ace warily. "...I'd rather not throw a card down right now. Rumour is something is happening in Bronx. What."

Ace paused, hands in his pockets. "Im out." He said slowly. "I pulled outta da war. I talked with Spot yesterday, and Prince right after that." It was a lot easier to say now, that it had already happened.

Sneaks put on a genuine smile and patted Ace on the back. "So we can be friends now instead of beating the shit out of eachother? I might like that."

He laughed, "I would too. Goodness knows we would probably do better that way." He gave him a small push for old times sake and smirked. "How's the head?"
