Mush smiled sheepishly, and shruged a bit. "My storie's pretty uneventful," he said looking at Jewels, and then forward again. "Well... see my world was pretty good... that was until my parents house burned down. Everything they had was in the house at the time... includin' demselves. They got caught in the fire. I... just kinda got... left on my own. See, I knew... I dunno if you know Prince, but she's an' I was friends b'fore we became newsies. I been at it about da same amount of time as her... but I'm younger den her. She offered her house ta me, but I toined her down, and said I'd be alright. I'se came ta live wit' da newsies, an' ta my suprise she came an' joined me... dat's pretty much it," he said with a small sigh. Just thinking about the past mostly.

Jewel looked a bit shocked. "That's really tough, Mush. I guess we're kinda in the same boat."

"How so?" he asked looking at her curiously. "What's ya story?" He then realized that this was rather rude, so quickly said, "I mean... ya dun gotta tell me if ya dun wanna, but... if ya wanna... I'll listen," he said quickly.

Jewel shrugged, smiling shyly at Mush. "Well, my parents always tried to give me the best life they could. I mean, they worked so hard and did so much for me. Then when I turned twelve they packed up and decided they were gonna move to Staten Island to start anew... I mean just like that. No warning or anything at all. So, I grabbed my stuff and booted out." She laughed lightly. "I don't really know where they are or what they're doing... just kinda me, myself, and I nowadays."

Ace ran up, completely out of breath. He spared them a glare- "You two need to get back to Hattan. NOW." and ran back off.

Jewel turned to look at Mush as Ace ran off. "What... in... the...world... is going on?"

"I dunno... but I think we oughta go find out... come on," he said. He grabbed Jewel by the hand, and taking Ace's advice ran at top speed back towards Manhattan. He figured they'd be safer that way.

Being tugged by Mush, Jewel was running like wildfire behind him as he led them both back to Manhattan. "Ya know, I think this is probably a good time to tell you that the situation we're in has only gotten worse." Jewel said, in between breaths, looking behind her every few seconds as she saw The Bulls caving in on them.

((New Day: Late Afternoon))
Fancy sat on the sand, she didn't care that everyone was staring at her. She didn't care about anything anymore... wait that wasn't true. But she knew one thing was certain, she didn't care that people knew she was a girl. She let her hair hang down, her hat placed on her head. She let her suspenders hang down by her sides and she left her shirt untucked. She pulled her knee's as tightly as possible to her stomach and rested her forehead on them. She stared down at her shirt and let a single, hot, burning tear seer its way down her face.

Ace, checking on his borders that he was supposed to, caught sight of Fancy, and was about to call out to her when he noticed her face. Halting he blinked, shocked. Walking forward a little, he crouched down next to her, touching her shoulder gently.
"Dahlin? What's da mattah?"

Fancy flinched away from him slightly, then realizing who it was sighed deeply. "Ace..." she patted the sand beside her. "Sit for a minute?"

His eyebrows into his hairline, he sat down next to her, crosslegged, pulling the cap off of his head. "Are you okay, Fancy?" He hated to see any of his newsies down, especially this one. She was like a little sister.

Fancy stared at her shirt for a moment, then without even thinking threw her arms around Ace's neck. "Ace...." she sobbed. "I need help..."

Fancy shook her head. "No one can help me Ace..." she sobbed. "It's not curable.... because its not a disease..." she cried again....
