Lacey yelped as she hit the ground and felt Squeak's fists meet her face again. She took deep breaths between punches and then grabbed a hold of Squeak's shoulders, flipping her over and pinned her down with her knee on her chest and let her fists do their job.

Squeaks kneed Lacey in the stomach and flipped back over so she was on top, bringing out her fists again.
Spot, who had been sitting quietly and watching the whole time, finally said: "Dat's enough." His dangerous tone was enough to make Squeaks stop, getting up and brushing herself off and then going back to whatever she'd been doing before. Spot stood up, watching her leave, then held out a hand to help Lacey up. "You alright?"

Lacey nodded and dusted herself off. "Pssh, yeah. She's nothing compared to the San Fransisco newsies."

Lacey grinned sheepishly and rubbed the back of her neck. "Heh, yeah. I gotta work on that." She smiled and put her hand down. "Awesome."

Lacey opened her mouth to reply but then just shook her head. "No, I just heard from other people that you hung out at the docks and I asked for directions then came straight here." She said, glancing around at the other newsies.

Lacey's face turned a faint shade of red as she looked at the water. "Uh...I don't...really know how to swim." She confessed, her face turning redder.

"Cool." Lacey grinned, her face turning back to its normal color. "So where are they?"

Spades and Aces, who had overheard Spot, appeared on either side of Lacey, dripping wet and grinning. " 'Ello love," Aces said.

"Waah!" Lacey jumped and fell backwards onto her bottom, obviously caught by surprise.

Spades and Aces both reached out a hand to help her up at the same time. "Don' be so jumpy sweet cheeks." Spades said.
Aces grinned. "Sorry, didn't mean ta scare ya like that."

Lacey grabbed their hands and let them help her up. "Pfft, I knew you were there. I was...trying to see what'd you guys would do." She said lamely.
