"Blondie I said I was gunna check on you."
Blondie hid himself as best as he could with his sheets and mumbled, "I didn't know you were going to literally come up and check up on me..."
"You're hairs so fluffy."
He could feel his face and ears redden once again as he let Sand help him up.
"Feel better."
He nodded as he ran his hand through his bedhead, hoping to fix it up some.

I didn't know you were going to literally come up and check up on me...
Sand looked down a bit. "I'll go...just thought I'd bring ya somethin ta eat..." She got up and handed Blondie the hot dogs. "Sorry I thought...I dunno. I'll see ya..." She sighed a bit and moved to leave.

"I'll go...just thought I'd bring ya somethin ta eat..."
Blondie cleared his throat some. "I'm glad you came... just would like a bit of forewarning next time." He gave her a small sheepish smile. "I look terrible."
"Sorry I thought...I dunno. I'll see ya..."
He pursed his lips and held the hotdogs a bit awkwardly. "You thought...?"

I'm glad you came... just would like a bit of forewarning next time.
"I told ya this morning." She said with a small smile. "Thought that was a good warning."
I look terrible.
Sand laughed a bit. "No worse then before." She looked down. "Not bad at all." Sand said quietly as her cheeks reddened slightly.
You thought...?
She shrugged a bit. "I dunno...just wanted ta have lunch. Just ya've been gone and stuff...but I can go. We can do stuff later."

"I told ya this morning. Thought that was a good warning."
Blondie shrugged as he fixed his bed up some. "Guess the warning didn't really click in my head," he joked.
"No worse then before. Not bad at all."
He ran his hand through his hair again. "Yeah? Maybe..." It still needed to be combed.
"I dunno...just wanted ta have lunch. Just ya've been gone and stuff...but I can go. We can do stuff later."
He was blushing some and shook his head. "It's fine... we can go down to the kitchen and eat."

Guess the warning didn't really click in my head,
Sand smiled. "Obviously not."
Yeah? Maybe...
She smiled a bit more. "Ya should just leave it be. Accept the fluffy." Sand said petting his hair down some.
It's fine... we can go down to the kitchen and eat.
"If ya wanna. I mean I don't mind..." Sand said watching him some.

"Obviously not."
Blondie ducked his head some chuckling softly at his mistake.
"Ya should just leave it be. Accept the fluffy."
He just knew his ears were pink again. "Ah well... um I think it looks better combed," he said rather lamely.
"If ya wanna. I mean I don't mind..."
He cocked his head curiously. He was feeling more like his normal self now that he was rested. "I don't mind at all."

Sand smiled brightly. "Nah...accept the fluffy. It'll suit ya."
"I don't mind at all.
She nodded some. "Wanna go eat then...?"

"Nah...accept the fluffy. It'll suit ya."
Blondie scrunched up his nose slightly. "I don't know... maybe I'll give it a try."
Perhaps the fluffy look would make him fit in more as a newsie. Who knew?
"Wanna go eat then...?"
He nodded. He hadn't eaten since diner yesterday, so he was rather hungry. "Yeah, lunch would be great."

I don't know... maybe I'll give it a try.
Sand laughed a bit. "You'll look dashing no matter what." She smiled happily.
Yeah, lunch would be great.
She smiled happily. "Come on let's head ta the kitchen." She looked over at him. "Ya eat any time on your trip?"

"You'll look dashing no matter what."
Blondie looked embarrassed and rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. "Ah... I don't know about that. I'm not dashing..."
"Come on let's head ta the kitchen. Ya eat any time on your trip?"
He followed Sand downstairs and to the kitchen. "Yeah, I just didn't eat breakfast this morning," he explained. "I had dinner at Medda's last night while playing cards and finding out more about Ace."

Ah... I don't know about that. I'm not dashing...
Sand shook her head. "You're a dashing knight. Working on his journey to save you're princess." She smiled happily. "You're story has just begun sit Blondie." Sand smiled jokingly.
Yeah, I just didn't eat breakfast this morning, I had dinner at Medda's last night while playing cards and finding out more about Ace.
She smiled. "Well ya should know ta eat better." Sand laughed happily plopping up on the counter. "I didn't get a lot so we gotta eat stuff here if you're starving."

"You're a dashing knight. Working on his journey to save you're princess."
Blondie was sure his face was bright red now. "Ah ah... I don't know about that. You flatter me."
"You're story has just begun sit Blondie."
He blushed. "Maybe..."
"Well ya should know ta eat better."
He shrugged as he stood beside her and ate one of the hotdogs. Skipping a meal really wasn't anything to him. He felt bad for having been able to eat so well in his younger days when most of the boys ehre at the lodge didn't really eat well at all.
"I didn't get a lot so we gotta eat stuff here if you're starving."
He shook his head as he chewed. "This is fine. I'm not that hungry."

Ah ah... I don't know about that. You flatter me.
Sand smiled seeing how red he was. "Isn't it more fun think of life as a story? We never know how it ends though. Makes the ending better." She smiled brightly. "How do you think your story will end? Or mine?"
Maybe...
"Oh! What if it's not and I don't know the beginning? Blondie ya wanna keep secrets ya don't bother telling me it's not the beginning." Sand smiled happily watching him.
This is fine. I'm not that hungry.
Sand smiled a bit. "If ya say so. I think I'm always hungry it seems sometimes." She smiled a bit. "But ya live with it."

"Isn't it more fun think of life as a story? We never know how it ends though. Makes the ending better."
Blondie shrugged. He had never really thought about that before. Maybe life would be more fun if he thought of it as a story. He certainly liked the thought! It was a new adventure to embark on.
"How do you think your story will end? Or mine?"
He shrugged again. "Who knows? Anything can happen..."
"Oh! What if it's not and I don't know the beginning? Blondie ya wanna keep secrets ya don't bother telling me it's not the beginning."
He stared at her, blinking somewhat in confusion and curiosity. He wasn't sure how to answer her.
"If ya say so. I think I'm always hungry it seems sometimes. But ya live with it."
He nodded sadly as he slowly chewed his food. It was sad how many newsies had gotten used to being hungry all the time.
"So..." He glanced over at Sand. "You sure you don't know Ace? He really seemed to know you..."

Who knows? Anything can happen...
Sand nodded. "That's thrilling and terrifying at the same time..." She watched him as she finished teasing him. "Blondie don't look so confused. It was a joke. So relax."
So...You sure you don't know Ace? He really seemed to know you...
"Nah. Never heard of anyone named Ace..." She said trying to think more about if she knew an Ace.

"That's thrilling and terrifying at the same time..."
Blondie nodded. "More thrilling than terrifying. At least, that's how I like to think."
"Blondie don't look so confused. It was a joke. So relax."
He grinned sheepishly. "Ah, sorry..."
"Nah. Never heard of anyone named Ace..."
He frowned some. "He made it sound like he knew you pretty well... and that he talked to you. He knew who I was..."

More thrilling than terrifying. At least, that's how I like to think."
"Always hope it's more thrilling. But sometimes it's terrifying." Sand said quietly. "The terrifying part is much harder to get away from."
Ah, sorry..
Sand smiled and crossed her legs on the counter. "Relax Blondie."
He made it sound like he knew you pretty well... and that he talked to you. He knew who I was..
"Odd..." She said quietly. "Very odd. I don't know anyone named Ace...never even talked to an Ace before..." She shrugged. "If he's as popular as everyone says it wouldn't be hard ta get information...people trust him."

"Always hope it's more thrilling. But sometimes it's terrifying. The terrifying part is much harder to get away from."
Blondie pursed his lips and nodded. He hadn't really experienced terrifying so he couldn't say. Life had been more thrilling to him.
"Relax Blondie."
He have her a smile. "I'm trying."
"Odd... Very odd. I don't know anyone named Ace...never even talked to an Ace before... If he's as popular as everyone says it wouldn't be hard ta get information...people trust him."
He nodded. "Yeah, he really is popular. All the guys in Manhattan know him. When I went through Harlem, they all like and know him very well. It won't be hard to find him and get in touch with him."

I'm trying
Sand smiled some. "Good. Then come sit with me." She said as she patted the spot on the counter next to her.
Yeah, he really is popular. All the guys in Manhattan know him. When I went through Harlem, they all like and know him very well. It won't be hard to find him and get in touch with him.
"Ya sure he knew me? Made it sound like he knew me?" Sand asked trying to work it out in her mind.

"Good. Then come sit with me."
Blondie cocked his head slightly and sat down beside Sand.
"Ya sure he knew me? Made it sound like he knew me?"
He nodded seriously. "I'm positive. It almost sounded like he knew you better than any of us in Bronx..."

I'm positive. It almost sounded like he knew you better than any of us in Bronx...
"I dunno. Hard ta say. I mean...maybe before I was a newsie? But no one by Ace..." She said sounding like she was thinking quite hard about who Ace might be.

"I dunno. Hard ta say. I mean...maybe before I was a newsie? But no one by Ace..."
Blondie pursed his lips some. "Maybe he didn't go by Ace when you met him... maybe he told you his real name? Or didn't give his name at all."
There were many possibilities.

Maybe he didn't go by Ace when you met him... maybe he told you his real name? Or didn't give his name at all.
Sand nodded. "Maybe...then he could be anyone..." There were many people that it could be. Hard to say really.

"Maybe...then he could be anyone..."
Blondie sighed. It was true... he could be anyone for Sand. "Well, I heard he comes through Bronx sometimes. Maybe you'll bump into him today?"
He was planning on staying at the lodge all day. He had slept, but now he needed some relaxation time.
