Sweets wandered into the bakery. The door was propped open letting in a warm breeze, and letting the fresh-baked aroma waft out into the air. Going past the rows and rows of bread and buns, she set her eyes on the sweetest of the sweets; chocolate danish, frosted scones, and cinnamon rolls.

Jewel entered the bakery, smiling at all of the delicious treats and goods that surrounded her. She walked past the bread and buns, knowing exactly what she wanted. When she reached the desserts section, she smiled broadly. She ordered a bag of canolas, zeppola, chocolate truffles, and some chocolate chip cookies, and a loaf of bread just in case.
She had made some money from her first day of selling and it felt good to be able to buy something that she liked. She waited at the register as the baker gathered up her order.

The door to the shop swung open once more as Prince walked in. "G'evenin' Stan!" she called in a deep voice, after all, still playing the pat of a boy. "Made anythin' real good taday?" she asked.
"Hello Prince," said the man behind the counter in a ho-hum voice.
"Aw, come on," she said leaning on the counter, "ya look down. What, ya dough not come out right?" she asked laughing.
Stan rolled his eyes, and didn't answer. Prince walked with a smirk towards the bread. She'd promised some of the kids in Queen's she'd get them some bread for the night. They were a little short on cash, and the young ones didn't like stealing, and basically refused to do it. Prince glanced at Jewels and Sweets. 'Couple of goil newsies...' she thought to herself, as she continued to look at the bread.

Sweets watched the "boy" out of the corner of her eye, trying to see if he was actually going to get anything from the baker for free.

Prince picked up a loaf of bread and walked over to Stan. "Say... I gotta favah."
"No Prince."
"Aw come on!" she said. "Their kids! I ain't eatin' dis, dey are. Jus' dis one time! I'm short. I'll pay ya back tommorah."
"No Prince," he said again.
"Youse want some kids ta starve?"
"I can't do it. Because then every newsie who comes in here with some sob story about being short, and paying me back and starving I'm going to have to cut them a break. I can't do it with them, and your no exception." Prince's mind started working on how she was going to get this bread.

Sweets still watched, wondering how this would play out. If he did give in, he was right, Sweets would think up a great sob story to get some free food. She assumed this kid was refering to his family, little brothers and sisters.

"C'mon Stan, ya killin' me heah, what do ya want me ta do?"
"Pay, or put the bread back, or I'll call the police."
"Stan, it's me! You know me, youse got my woid, ya knows I'm good for it," Prince said.
"I'm sorry Prince, but I can't," he said.
Prince rested her elbow on the counter, and put her hand in her hand. She glanced over and saw Sweets watching, and got an idea. "Hey... dis is one of dem kids I was tellin' ya 'bout," she said as she walked over to Sweets. "Do me a favah huh? Look like ya starvin'," she whispered quietly to Sweets.

Jewel had been watching all the while since Prince had walked in the door as he tried to con Stan out of having to pay for the loaf of bread. She now watched disgustedly as Prince tried to con Stan out of having to pay for the loaf of bread, by now, using Sweets as an excuse.

Sweets frowned and held her stomach slightly. "P...Please mistah, I 'aven't eatin' for days," she said, looking up at him with her now slightly tear rimmed eyes.

"See Stan... please, just dis once..." she begged.
Stan sighed, and couldn't fight back when the proof was right infront of him. "I expect it paid in full tomorrow," he said sternly.
"Yessir! And just so you got my word..." she pulled out about 4 cents. "Gimme a cinimon roll, and there's pleanty where that come from," she said. She paid for the roll, and coned Stan out of the loaf of bread. He put them both in a bag. "Thanks," she said with a smile. She glanced over at Jewel quickly before walking with Sweets out of the show... I mean shop!
"Ya pretty good! Felt like I owed ya somethin', so heah," Prince said handing sweets the cinimon roll she'd bought, her voice staying in the lower register.

Sweets grinned, her stomach growling as she eyed it. "Gee thanks," she said, taking the offered treat. "I'm Sweets, by the way," she said as she took a bite out of the roll.

Jewel grabbed her bag of treats from Stan, and paid him the amount it all cost. "Thanks." She smiled and exited the bakery shop.
