Perry grinned when Dodger offered to teach him to sell, "That'd be great!" He moved to get off the hammock, not quite used to it yet and stumbled a bit before laughing. "Those things are great but there hard to get on and off of."
He was glad to get away from the lovey dovey couple, he wasn't used to seeing people act that way. He'd only occassionally seen his sister get woo'ed by a guy but none of the kissing or anything like that. She was far to protective of him to let him see that. "I can't wait to sell with you Dodger, it's gonna be so fun. Can you show me more tricks? If you know more that is, but I bet you do, don't ya?"

He laughed, god inflating his ego did wonders for the leader. He dropped an arm around the kids shoulders, "You will go miles with me, mate.. miles and miles. I'll teach you a few hat tricks if ya like, and some tricks of the trade... bet you know a few you could show me, yeah?"

Perry laughed, "Sure I know lots of tricks. I can show you how to do a cartwheel. My sister taught me before we moved. And Reid won't show me but he can pull a penny out of my ear!" Perry was so excited to go sell with Dodger, he seemed so nice and fun.

((new day))
Magnet was still carrying Smiley in his arms when he entered. Laying her down on his bed, he walked into the washroom to get a washcloth. When he came back out, he wiped her face and pulled the cover's onto her.
Sitting in a chair, he took a book and began to read, waiting for her to wake up.

A few hours later.
Smiley rolled over, snuggled into the blanket peacefully breathing slowly. She felt like someone was looking at her. Probably Kloppman telling her to get up.
"Five more minutes Kloppy. I don't wanna sell papes. Too comfy." She mumbled rolling over again.

Magnet chuckled a bit, knowing that most of the 'Hatten newsies say that to Kloppmann. "Hey, Smiley, it's Magnet, not Kloppmann." He smiled at her, but couldn't really see her, only a lump in the bed. It was about 2 in the morning, so it was still dark.

"Last night ya fell asleep, so I brought ya to the Bronx Lodging House. Oh, and it's..." He took his pocket watch out and looked at the time," about 8:00 in the mornin'."

"8:00??? Da Bronx?? Oh no, dis isn't good. Dis isn't good at all. I'm missin' sellin. I need to sell. I'm broke, I won't be able to pay for lodging. Da Manhattan newsies are probably worried. I have to go back." She stared up at him her eyes wide.
"Wait, I'm scared to go back, dey might be mad at me." She whispered timidly grabbing onto Magnet's arm.

She smiled for a moment but she wasn't very calm. Her frown returned and she said, "Are ya sure ya really want me to stay? I mean like ya said before I'm rude and I didn't respect ya. Most people don't want me around because of dat." She looked down at her lab, her hands folded together and resting there.

Magnet shook his head with a sad smile. "Nah, it's alright, really. I do want ya to stay, ya just had a bad day. We all have one once in a while." He moved over to the bad and sat next to her. Trying to comfort her again, he hugged her and rocked back and forth rubbing her shoulder.

She calmed down in his arms and let him stroke her hair. She felt so much safer, calmer, and happier in his arms. Of course she wouldn't admit it at the time.

"Are ya shoah ya wanna sell today? I got extra money I save up, and I could lend ya some. I use it to take care of my three youngah brudda's...but ya can use some of it, I wouldn't mind and neither would they." He kept stroking her hair as he asked, and taking in a breath from his nose, he smelt her hair.
