Alley smiled looking up at the sky that quickly turned to black as the sun dropped beyond the horizion. She felt comfort she had found friendship and love in Dusty. What they shared brought the closer. She remember something an old friend told her a laughed slightly. "You were right Page." She whispered snuggling into Dusty more as the stars came out to light the sky her favorite part of any sunset and night.

"He was like the brother i never had. He was like a father even though he was young. He was a newsie. He was the one who found me in that alleyway. What gives me my nickname..." She stopped his face passing before her eyes she closed them opening them again and looked up finding the constellation Orion quickly.

A small smile formed on her lips as she gazed at Alley. "Your lucky... i've never had anyone like that... never." she sighed and looked up at the stars, tears forming in her eyes. "I've always been used, beaten, taken advantage of... even by the other girls in my life. They saw me as a way to get ahead, because of who my father-" she stopped, shutting herself up quickly. She shivered and wrapped her arms around her knees, pulling them to her chest. "I don't trust them... i trust no one..." she lay her head on her knees as she spoke. "Except three people, and even then, honestly i'm sitting here afraid i'll be betrayed..." she heaved another great sigh and lay back, watching the stars carefully. "Not that i think you would... its just second nature to fear others. A habit i've aquired over the years..." she stopped talking as a single tear slipped quietly down her cheek.

Alley turned to her and whipped the tear off her cheek. "I would never." Sounding completely serious and she was telling the truth. She understood Dusty's concern though and it being second nature not to trust. She was looked down upon but no one would admit it after they saw how compassionate she was even after they had mocked her. "I would die before i betrayed you Dusty." She meant that truely meant it. The only other person that had made her feel that way was Page. She hugged Dusty tightly. "you have me Dusty you will always have me. If there was one thing that Page's.....taught me it was that no matter what you have those that you mean the world too. Page was my world until the night he died and he's still with me. And Dusty you are now a living breathing person that i can talk to be with." The fact that her family had been high society came out in the way she spoke not alone with a bit of her spanish accent. "history is best left in the past but not best to forget for it makes us who we are. Time is fleeting and memories pass but those that define us stay." She looked up at the stars again letting go of Dusty. "Tru Trinity" The first time she had given her name out to any newsie. Of course she went by it on stage but most didn't really pay close attention. Her spanish accent right there when she said her name. Her heritage was Spanish and Hungarian. Her family had been noble in both least on her mother's side and of course her great grandmother's family. She sat back down her head down mumbling in hungarian then looking out and starting to sing in english of course. "Miricals happen when you least expect. My child don'tworry about anything. Sweet dreams my sweet. Sleep tight. My beloved child i will be there when you wake. No matter how far apart we we are. I will be there." She stopped and shuddered remembering her great grandmother's voice singing it to her in spanish. Her hand went to the locket around her neck.

A small smile slid onto Dusty's face, as she listened to her friend. The stars twinkled over head as Dusty leaned over to whisper in Alley's ear. "Rebecca Puccini..." she smiled slightly as the pushed herself to her feet. "Friends don't do stuff like that to eachother... And i never for a second thought you would... but you know how it is." she gave her a gentle smile and leaned back against the stone wall. Her Italian background gave her that slight rolling sound as she spoke, as if her words where one continuous poem. She sighed and leaned her head back, chocolate brown hair blowing lightly in the gentle breeze.

Alley looked up at Dusty. Her hand was locked around her locket. She smiled at her. "Pretty name. I'm named after my greatgrandmother." She stood up the with the wind blowing gently and her hair to the side for a split second she looked hispanic as she was. A gentle smiled came to her face as she pulled a fadded picture out of her pocket it was a newspaper clipping of her greatgrandmother. a picture of her at her furneral and a picture of a young her baring a very stricking resemblance to Alley. "Alley is my middle name by the way."

Dusty smiled as the looked at the picture. "Shes beautiful..." she told Alley. "Looks alot like you..." she commented, with a small sigh. "I never had a grandmother... or a great grandmother... just my mom, dad and Dean... that was all..." she surveyed the other for a moment. "Middle name hm.... well mine is..." she paused. "Interesting..." she grinned. "Its Brenae..." she actually laughed out loud, it was so strange.

Alley looked at her for a second basically cause she had laughed at her middled name. She smiled, she kinda liked it, it was interesting. "The boys just added Cat to the end of it. cause i wouldn't let them call me anything else really. Though if most were to say something it would either be Truth or Honesty like Jackle called me. Reputation speaks wonders if you know what i mean." She began to mimick. "She sells papes without ever having to improve the truth. and even if she does she only ommits so it's not like she is lying." She went back to her voice. "What can i say i go by my name"

Dusty smiled. "Those are good qualities! I would love people to say that about me!" she told her friend. "The best compliment i've ever gotten was 'Mrs. Puccini, you have a very polite daughter!" she smiled. "And it wasn't even directed at me... it was more of a compliment to my mother..."

Alley shook her head. "well at least you had family that did love you. I mean my grandparents would rather i had been dead. They were actually going to make my mom abort me. But great grandma stopped that. My mum was disowned." She shrugged. "But she loved my father so it didn't matter."

Alley looked at Dusty. "Brooklyn. I need to find a certain Spot." She left it at that she turned away from the water and waited for Dusty.
