Stage: Me - Cards: the lovely ac110807

Warnings: Stage is a bouncy and energetic bean (not my words)
Third Person POV

A/N, this is in the case that Stags and Cards weren't immortal.

"Wait..." the younger girl (9) starts quietly.

Grace (10) turns to face her, an eyebrow raised.

"You're a Drifter, too?" Sage asks, looking up at her.

Grace bites her lip, stepping forward slightly, a confused look on her face. "A Drifter?" She asks.

"Yeah!" Sage exclaims, a bright smile lighting up her face. "It's what I call the Newsies who don't stay in one borough." She explains.

Grace looks at her. "Sure?" She sounded skeptical.

Stage didn't notice her skepticism.

Sage grins. "Me too!" She exclaims. "I used to be a Manhattan Newsie and then Bronx, Queens, and Woodside."

Grace looks her up and down. "I can definitely see the Manhattan." She mutters.

Sage doesn't respond as she hadn't heard her comment.

This kid's so loud, Grace thinks to herself. Wasn't she literally just quiet and untrusting?

"What if we became friends and became Drifters together?" Sage quickly turns back around to face Grace.

Grace stares at her. We met two days ago.

"Uh..." she starts.

"Come on!" Sage exclaims. "We could totally become best friends!"

Grace takes a deep breath.

(A/N, I know parts of this song doesn't work with the storyline, but just go with it and ignore the fact that people don't just randomly burst into song.)

Grace: The pyramids, the Brooklyn bridge, the rio grande, the Rhine.

Sage looked really excited that she was singing.

Grace: I've seen the seven wonders of the world. Can't wait for eight and nine.
But because of my predicament, peculiar situation took keep my profile low low low low.

However, Sage did not like where this was going.

Grace: I'm a one man operation.

The older girl crosses her arms.

Sage smirks, though it wasn't really a smirk.

Growing up knowing the Brooklyn Newsies because of her brother, Grace knew what smirks looked like.

This looked like a puppy's attempt at a smug smile.

"Grace! I got it!" Sage exclaims, grinning.

Grace almost groans at this statement.
