((New Day For Drifter))
Piper climbed up the fire escape and onto the rooftop of the Manhattan Lodging House. The sun was setting, making the sky look orange and purple with a swirl of dark blue. She smiled as she walked over tot he edge of the roof and looked out to the west, seeing the sun going down slowly. The wind was really coming through and she liked how it felt on her skin.

Drifter climbed up the metal ladder after her, pulling his hat a bit farther down on his head to make sure it didn't fly off he walked over to her. "Oh wow," He said with a smiled as he looked out over the west side of Manhattan. "You can see everything." His voice sounded awed as he pulled his gaze away from the city and to Piper, "This is great."

"My favorite place in the world, so far." She replied in a giggled. She felt the wind in her hair, but she didn't care. She loved the feeling of being in the wind, almost like she could fly.
"You can almost see beyond New York if you squint hard enough." Piper said aloud as she turned to Drifter, seeing him pull down his hat.
"Well come on, it's better to see it near the ledge." Piper said to him as she held out her hand once again.

Drifter could easily see how this was her favorite spot, it had an amazing view. Walking forward a bit more he smiled at everything. Looking over at Piper he nodded his head a bit and then looked back over the west he squinted and then laughed at himself. You could almost see beyond New York.. almost.
He chuckled a bit and took her hand walking towards the ledge. "Yer right it is better here." He said giving her hand a quick squeeze and then looked back out taking in Manhattan.

Piper smiled, feeling him squeeze her hand as she looked back out at the world in front of them. She then crouched down and sat on the ledge, looking from a new view and level. She looked below her, seeing her boots dangling over the edge at the world below.

Drifter looked down at her with a raised eyebrow, most girls would probably be scared to sit on the edge. Smiling he sat down next to her his legs dangling over the side of the building. "I'm guessin' you come up here lot." He said looking over at her his hand never leaving hers.

"Time to time. Just when things get out of control in my life, I like to come out here." Piper replied, squeezing Drifter's hand slightly and then smiling. She didn't want to be all depressed around him about her past and she looked over at him.
"Thanks for coming with me." Piper replied aloud, not thinking and resting her head on his shoulder.

He smiled when she put her head on his shoulder and he moved so his arm was draped around her shoulders and leaned his head on top of hers. "Thanks for showing me." He said smiling as he rubbed his thumb soothingly on her shoulder.

Piper smiled as she felt his thumb rubbing soothingly on her arm. It made her feel more relaxed as she let out a content sigh. She loved where she was, with a arm around her and the world in front of them both. She couldn't think of a better time than this and she smiled.
"I'm glad you're here with me." She replied to Drifter in a soft tone.

Drifter smiled at Pipers content sigh and closed his eyes a bit. He loved being with Piper, he was really glad that he had gone to the harbor today. If he hadn't he would probably had just sat around the Bronx.
"So am I," He said quietly to her and pulled her closer.

Piper smiled and saw it got a little darker. She got her head off of Drifter, thinking she left it there for too long and she looked over at him.
"So, are you this charming with girls all the time, or should I feel special about it?" She said in a tease as she pushed some of his hair away from his eyes,

Drifter opened his eyes and looked at Piper as she brought her head up. He blinked realizing that it was slowly becoming night and that sooner or later he would have to leave.
The boy thought for a second, he was always charming to girls that's just how he was. But it was different with Piper. "I think yer special." He said with a smile and a small nod.

Piper smiled and looked out at the now getting dark world. She could see the street lamps were lighting up and the windows in all of the buildings came to life with light. She felt a cold breeze come by and she shivered, looking back at Drifter.
"Honestly, no boy has called me special before. They only are after one thing, the don't wanna talk to me about my day and what I do for fun." She told him in a honest tone, making her remember all of the bad encounters she had with boys who only wanted to get action with her and not talk to her. It was tough for a girl newsie in this lousy world.

Drifter pulled her closer seeing that she shivered and smiled at her. Looking at the sky he grinned as the moon rose in the sky and he glanced down at Piper moving his hand up and down on her arm to try and warm her up.
"You are special," He said stopping his movement for a second and then starting up again. "Don't let anyone tell ya differently, I liked gettin' ta know ya." He said and then stood up taking her hand. "I should probably head back to the Bronx." He didn't really want to go but he wasn't sure when the doors to the lodging house closed for the night.

Piper blushed as she got up with him as well, holding his hand and see it really got dark. She didn't want him to go, but he might get locked out of the Bronx Lodging House and that would be a real bad thing.
"Would you like me to walk ya back to the Lodging House?" She asked in a tease to him, nudging him slightly.
