Blondie was perched up in the highest point of the bridge, looking down at the river and over the borough of Bronx. It was a cold day.. but Blondie didn't mind. He had a good jacket and was wearing gloves. He would be just fine.
It was nice to be here again. Some time had passed since he had visited the bridge. It was one of the highest points of Bronx and the best place to be if you wanted to watch the sun rise or set.
It reminded him that he had just survived another day.

Sand was walking in the early morning not sure what to do. Everything seemed to be crashing in around her. Not having Smolder to talk to was really bothering her. Blondie was also more distant, but that might also be her fault. She felt he was starting to be distant before what happened with Smolder. Sand didn't want to lose Blondie too. She sighed half in defeat on the bridge. What was going on with her? Sand looked up and was surprised to see Blondie. She climbed up next to him and breathed in the morning air and relaxed a bit.

Blondie nearly jumped in surprise as he felt someone sit beside him. He hadn't been paying much attention to the people down on the bridge and definitely didn't think anyone would join him up here. It was still pretty early after all.
"Sand! You scared me," he scolded softly.
He cocked his head slightly at the Bronx leader. "You're up early. Didn't think anyone would be up to watch the sunrise," he commented, stretching some. He had been sitting there for quite a while. His muscles were a little bit stiff.

"Sand! You scared me
Sand's eyes widened a bit. "I-I'm sorry..." she moved away a bit. She hadn't meant to scare him.
You're up early. Didn't think anyone would be up to watch the sunrise,
"I didn't sleep much...a lot goin on..." she muttered softly. "Why ya up so early? I'm usually the one ta wake ya up."

"I-I'm sorry..."
Blondie cocked his head a bit as she moved away from him. "It's fine, really," he assured. "Just teasing you." He patted beside him, inviting her to sit where she originally was. "I just wasn't expecting company. None of the newsies usually come up this high on the bridge."
"I didn't sleep much...a lot goin on..."
He pursed his lips some. "Lot going on?" He didn't like the sound of that. It couldn't be good for Sand to be losing sleep over something.
"Why ya up so early? I'm usually the one ta wake ya up."
Blondie smiled sheepishly. "Well, today was different. Wanted to see the sunrise since spring so coming soon."

It's fine, really, Just teasing you. I just wasn't expecting company. None of the newsies usually come up this high on the bridge.
Sand moved back and sat next to him. "Sorry...it just looked nice up here...and I haven't seen ya in a bit..." she said softly looking out at the horizon.
Lot going on?
She nodded a bit. It was a lot...but she wasn't sure if Blondie should know or even wanted to know about it. Sand sighed and looked down to see how high they were. "Spot sent a bird over..." Sand almost whispered. If he didn't hear or didn't care it would be fine. He shouldn't have to worry about it. It was her responsibility.
Well, today was different. Wanted to see the sunrise since spring so coming soon
"I bet the sunrise will be pretty...it's a good day ta be out ya know?" She smiled softly looking at him but not quite looking in his eye.

"Sorry...it just looked nice up here...and I haven't seen ya in a bit..."
He shook his head, smiling some. "No need to apologize... And yeah, it is really nice up here." Blondie turned his gaze back toward the coming sunrise. "It has been awhile, hasn't it?"
He had been busy checking up with Queens and then recovering from all that energy spent that he hadn't been able to meet up with the Bronx leader.
"Spot sent a bird over..."
Blondie cocked his head. He had barely caught her soft whisper. " A bird?" he asked, frowning. "Is something going on in Brooklyn?"
"I bet the sunrise will be pretty...it's a good day ta be out ya know?"
He chuckled softly and corrected her lightly, "The sunrise is always pretty." He took in a deep breath of air and nodded. "Yeah... it's a really good day."
And he would know. There were always bad days, but days like this really made him enjoy the day and just feel alive.

No need to apologize... And yeah, it is really nice up here. It has been awhile, hasn't it?
Sand nodded a bit. It was nice up here but then she just kept thinking about how she hadn't seen Blondie in a while. "Yeah..." She said softly just looking out at the horizon.
A bird? Is something going on in Brooklyn?
"Spot's lookin' for some girl named Darcy...worried about her and what is going on with Queens an' dem ya know?" She looked at her hands. "And I think Trixie knows somethin but she ain't tellin me and I can't figure out what Darcy's gotta do with us..." The words almost seemed to fall out of her mouth and Sand was unable to stop them from escaping.
The sunrise is always pretty. Yeah... it's a really good day.
Sand nodded slightly. "It's gunna be pretty..." She looked over at him. "I hope it'll be a good day."

"Yeah..."
Blondie pursed his lips slightly at her soft but short reply. He wondered if the last conversation he had with her was still bothering her... Perhaps he should talk to her about it and straighten things out? His big bad mouth...
"Spot's lookin' for some girl named Darcy...worried about her and what is going on with Queens an' dem ya know?"
He frowned slightly. Darcy didn't ring a bell, but Queens? "But Queens isn't something we really know much about. Spot would have better luck going to Manhattan or even," he made a slight face. "Harlem."
"And I think Trixie knows somethin but she ain't tellin me and I can't figure out what Darcy's gotta do with us..."
He gave her a confused look. Blondie hadn't met the new recruit just yet. "Who's Trixie?"
"It's gunna be pretty... I hope it'll be a good day."
He shot her a bright smile. "I know it'll be a great day, not just good," he assured. "It's finally spring. Things are getting better already."

Sand shrugged. "I dunno...it just doesn't make sense why he'd send a bird ova. Maybe he knows something I don't..." she had no clue what was going on. That bothered her a lot.
Who's Trixie?
"She's a new girl just came ta Bronx." Sand explained some. "Keeps ta herself most the time."
I know it'll be a great day, not just good, It's finally spring. Things are getting better already
She nodded a bit. "It'll get better..." she said softly breathing slowly hoping the cool breezes might calm her somehow.

"I dunno...it just doesn't make sense why he'd send a bird ova. Maybe he knows something I don't..."
Blondie made a face, not liking his leader so discouraged. "The guy is just paranoid. He's always saying stuff about Queens," he scoffed a bit. "I don't think he knows anything about what's really going on over there."
"She's a new girl just came ta Bronx. Keeps ta herself most the time."
He nodded. New recruits came in often so it wasn't too much of a surprised that he missed one. Especially if it was a girl.
"It'll get better..."
He smiled. "That's the spirit!"

The guy is just paranoid. He's always saying stuff about Queens, I don't think he knows anything about what's really going on over there.
"Yeah...I guess...it just seems weird..." Sand sighed a bit. "Just...I wish this stuff wasn't happenin..." She explained slightly. Sand didn't want anything to happen with the boroughs. She just wanted to be like it normally was.
That's the spirit!
Sand smiled a bit. She had missed this. Missed talking to him. Just missed him. She nudged him gently. "I missed ya." Sand said gently.

"Yeah...I guess...it just seems weird..."
Blondie shrugged lightly. "Maybe just a little weird... but nothing to really worry about. Bronx is safe. Always has and always will be."
He believed that. It had to be safe, because he couldn't risk his whole semi-perfect world falling apart.
"Just...I wish this stuff wasn't happenin..."
He pursed his lips. "I know... we all wish things like Brooklyn and Queens quarreling wouldn't happen. But such is life, you know? Chaos ensues no matter what." He shook his head some. "And wishing never makes it stop. You have to do something."
"I missed ya."
Blondie gave her a bashful smile as he coughed to hide his blush. "Ah well... I missed you too."

Sand nodded a bit. "We're gunna be fine..." she leaned over and gently rested her head on his shoulder. "We'll make it..."
I know... we all wish things like Brooklyn and Queens quarreling wouldn't happen. But such is life, you know? Chaos ensues no matter what. And wishing never makes it stop. You have to do something.
"I...I just don't know what ta do...Three left said some boys were talkin bout what's going on and I just can't see how it ends right just yet." Sand explained softly wishing she didn't have to worry.
Ah well... I missed you too.
Sand smiled and looked down some. "Then let's not go without talking like that again...alright?" She asked softly looking over at him.

"We're gunna be fine... We'll make it..."
Blondie felt his cheeks flush as Sand rested her head against his shoulder. He cleared his throat some. "Ah yeah... We'll be fine. Just fine..."
"I...I just don't know what ta do...Three left said some boys were talkin bout what's going on and I just can't see how it ends right just yet."
He looked over at her in surprise. "Three Left heard the guys saying that?" He frowned a bit. "I'm not doubting Three Left, but you know the boys like to talk. They probably don't know any more about it than the rest of us."
"Then let's not go without talking like that again...alright?"
Blondie cracked a small smile and nodded. "Yeah... I'll try not to let that happen again," he agreed.

Sand breathed slowly and just relaxed. "Thanks..." she said softly.
Three Left heard the guys saying that? I'm not doubting Three Left, but you know the boys like to talk. They probably don't know any more about it than the rest of us."
"Yeah...probably but still it's unnerving..." she said softly. "I'm just over thinking it ya know."
Yeah... I'll try not to let that happen again,
Sand nodded a bit. "Good hate ta have something like it happen again." She smiled up at him.
