Mhmm! You've always got us. No way you'd get lost even if Hattan isn't what you remembered.
"Well at least I got you two to keep me company. Hate ta get lost." She said not liking the idea of getting lost.
Well never thought of that before. But I think you're right. It would be sad if there were too many things to do.
Firecracker smiled. "I think we'll be ok. Don't you think Mathias? We'll do a little of everything!" She smiled up at the older boy.

"Well at least I got you two to keep me company. Hate ta get lost."
Sherlock smiled before nodding seriously. He knew that getting lost was no fun. It could even be a little terrifying.
"I think we'll be ok."
He grinned once more. "Yeah, just fine." He started looking around trying to see any familiar faces to see what was going on in Hattan.

"Don't you think Matthias? We'll do a little of everything!"
Rip was slightly surprised as Firecracker addressed him. He had been keeping an eye for the two younger kids. He quickly smiled and nodded. "Sounds like a good plan. But how about some drinks first? On me?" He suggested with a grin.

Yeah, just fine.
Firecracker watched as he looked trying to recognize someone. She didn't even think to look for people she might know. It's been so long probably no one remembers her.
Sounds like a good plan. But how about some drinks first? On me?
She smiled brightly looking up at him. "Really?! That'd be amazing. I am really thirsty and a drink would be amazing. Thank you so much!"

"Really?! That'd be amazing. I am really thirsty and a drink would be amazing. Thank you so much!"
Rip chuckled softly. "Yeah, it's nothing. Least I could do."
He smiled as he led the two towards a general store he often frequented when in Manhattan. He went there since most of the newsies in Hattan didn't go there.
"They got great soda pop here."

Firecracker smiled as she followed Rip to the General store. It was a cute little store and there was a variety of soda pop that they could choose drone.
They got great soda pop here
"Grape's my favorite..." she said looking over the other sodas. "What kinda pop do you guys like?" Firecracker asked cusriously.

"Grape's my favorite... What kinda pop do you guys like?"
Rip chuckled softly as he chose his soda. "Mine's grape too."
It was funny. Most people didn't care for grape. He was sure he was going to like meeting up with Sherlock and Firecracker more often.

"Grape's my favorite... What kinda pop do you guys like?"
Sherlock grinned. Grape huh? That was the same as Rip's!
"Mine's grape too."
He chuckled alongside his brother, happy tp see that his brother was in a remarkably good mood. "Mine is just plain coke. Though," he grinned mischievously and nudged Rip. "Matthias here does like ta mix soda pop flavors."

Mine's grape too.
Firecracker beamed up at him. She was surprised because she never heard of many people liking grape. "Thats pretty nifty." Firecracker picked out her soda pop. "No one I know like grape. Always something else."
Mine is just plain coke.
"Plain soda ain't bad just if I had a choice I'd take grape." She smiled at Sherlock.
Though, Matthias here does like ta mix soda pop flavors.
Firecracker made an interigued face. "Mixin flavors? Any good? And what flavors? I'm sure some mixing doesn't go right and it's just bad..." she made a disgusted face and shivered a bit. "I don't wanna know the bad flavors..."

"Thats pretty nifty. No one I know like grape. Always something else."
Rip smiled as he nodded. "Yeah, you gotta be the first I've met that likes it too."
"Mine is just plain coke."
He rolled his eyes but smiled fondly at his brother. "Jus' plaaain coke."
"Mixin flavors? Any good? And what flavors? I'm sure some mixing doesn't go right and it's just bad..."
He chuckled. "Ah well had some bad luck with some but there are a few good mixes." Rip picked out a few different flavors. "I'll let ya try some."

"Ah well had some bad luck with some but there are a few good mixes. I'll let ya try some."
Sherlock made a pretend disgusted look before grinning at Firecracker. He picked out his coke and nudged her before whispering, "Jus' don't let him convince you ta try his favorite root beer mix. It tastes somethin' awful!"
He winked at her before gathering up his and her sodas to give to Rip to pay.

Firecracker smiled bright. "I guess we'll be different together."
Jus' plaaain coke
She laughed happily at his teasing his brother. It was nice being around them.
Ah well had some bad luck with some but there are a few good mixes. I'll let ya try some.
"I can't wait to try them!" Firecracker said excidedly trying to think what they might taste like.
Jus' don't let him convince you ta try his favorite root beer mix. It tastes somethin' awful
"That bad?" She asked curiously with a smile.

"I guess we'll be different together."
A slight smirk tugged at his lips as he nodded in agreement. "Yeah, guess so."
"I can't wait to try them!"
Rip laughed softly and winked at the two as he paid for their drinks. This really was becoming a swell evening. No one had recognized him or bothered him. It was a good day to just hang out with his brother and his friend.

"That bad?"
Sherlock nodded seriously. "Terrible. I almost got sick," he whispered loudly, shooting his brotherly a teasing look. "But the other ones are not that bad thank goodness."
He grinned at Firecracker. "So no worries there."

Firecracker smiled happily. This was nice. She couldn't help but be happy.
Terrible. I almost got sick, But the other ones are not that bad thank goodness. So no worries there."
"Good ta know!" She smiled brightly at the two of them.

Rip led the two younger newsies out of the store and towards the park. They could enjoy their sodas while sitting on a bench and decide what they wanted to do next. Once they found an empty bench, Rip carefully mixed his sodas. You had to do it just right if you wanted it to taste good. He was slightly distracted though. The park was a little more populated than he had expected. Not that it was a bad thing, it would give Firecracker and Sherlock something to do. He just wasn't so sure about some the newsies he could see standing more in the shadows of the park. They weren't watching him, were they?

"Good ta know!"
Sherlock just grinned as they sat down on the bench with Rip. He sipped his coke happily. It was nice to see that the park was active. Maybe they could make more friends and possibly find Firecracker's brother! It was a little early to hope for that, but miracles could happen.
"So what should we do next?"

Firecracker smiled as they left the shop and headed for the park. It was so busy and active but she enjoyed watching the people. She opened up her pop and sipped her drink as she watched Mathias mix his drinks. It was fun to watch him. He seemed on edge though. Why was that...? Before she could ask though Sherlock chimed in.
So what should we do next?
"We could go somewhere fun...Medda's you said was fun right?" Firecracker asked looking between the two boys.

"We could go somewhere fun... Medda's you said was fun right?"
Sherlock nodded, grinning wide. "Yeah! Medda's is a lot of fun. She throws a good show. If you don't wanna watch the show, I'm sure some of the guys brought cards and stuff." He gave Firecracker another grin. "There's always lots to do at Medda's. She's real nice and lets newsies hang out at her place all the time."
He turned towards his brother. "Right, Matthias?"

Rip hadn't been paying much attention to what Sherlock and Firecracker were saying. He did catch something about Medda's. That wasn't exactly a place he wanted to go. Too many newsies from other boroughs would be there, but he couldn't say no to his little brother. It was difficult saying no to Sherlock. He didn't want to disappoint him even if going to Medda's would be at his expense.
"Right, Matthias?"
"Mm, yeah..." he agreed, unsure of what he was agreeing with but positive it couldn't be anything bad. He kept his eyes on the newsie in the shadows. There was something suspicious going on with him. Rip didn't like it one bit. He would investigate it, but he couldn't, not with Sherlock here.

Firecracker smiled. Medda's sounded like it would be fun! She looked up at Matthias and her eyes narrowed a bit watchcing him. He was looking around at the shadows. Firecracker looked in the direction that Matthias seemed to be set on. Her eyes focused on the newsie in the shadows.
"Right, Matthias?
Mm, yeah...
"Or we could go somewhere else...we don't have to go to medda's today." she looked up at Matthias before looking at Sherlock. "We could just go for a walk or something. What do you boys want to do?"

"Mm, yeah..."
Sherlock frowned slightly. He could tell that his brother was distracted. What was up with that? He was rarely ever distracted on their days like this.
"Or we could go somewhere else... we don't have to go to Medda's today."
He pursed his lips. He was actually looking forward to going... but maybe Rip wasn't up for it?
"We could just go for a walk or something. What do you boys want to do?"
Sherlock shrugged. "A walk is good too." He glanced at his older brother. "Chinatown isn't too far away. Always cool stuff to do there."

"Or we could go somewhere else... we don't have to go to Medda's today."
Rip felt a little guilty. He hadn't really been paying attention to what they were saying thank to that pesky newsie who was probably spying on them. Then again he could just be paranoid. But really, he should have been concentrating on what his brother and friend were saying. Though, he wasn't sure if Medda's was a good idea. Too many important newsies liked to go there. But if Sherlock and Firecracker wanted to go, he supposed he could risk a night there.
"We could just go for a walk or something. What do you boys want to do?"
He glanced at his brother.
"A walk is good too. Chinatown isn't too far away. Always cool stuff to do there."
Rip nodded some. Chinatown might be a better place. Not many newsies that would recognize him would be on that side of Manhattan. "Medda's is fine, unless you two really want ta go ta Chinatown."

"Medda's is fine, unless you two really want ta go ta Chinatown."
Sherlock pursed his lips thoughtfully. His brother didn't seem to want to go Medda's, and well, Chinatown was rather fun. He looked over at his friend.
"Well what ya wanna do fellas?"
He grinned. "How about Chinatown then? It's a lot of fun over there. In the evenings, they light cool looking lanterns and stuff."
