Here is where the very beginning of the bridge is.

Muse sighed as she walked slowly towards the bridge, it wasn't like she was going any where, she just needed to get out of the lodging house. All the boys were starting to grate on her nerves. Taking a drag of her cigarette she moved up the bridge a little ways and leaned against the railing. She smirked at the memory of the first time she had been on the bridge she had ran all the way to the middle and screamed her lungs out just to hear it echo. Needless to say the looks she got where quite entertaining, she had seen a few parents usher their children away from her, but she only laughed
Sighing she shook her head of the memory and focused on the present, as far as she knew her best friend was still missing, and even though she wouldn't show it, she was worried out of her mind. Muse sighed again and finished off the last bit of her cigarette before she flicked it over the edge and watch the small glowing butt disappear beneath the water. Taking her hat off she stuffed it into her back pocket and let her brown hair flutter in the window. Muse was letting her guard down, this was one spot she knew she could come and just think. She didn't care if Spot got mad at her for coming alone she just needed to get out for a while. "Where are ya Doll?" She asked quietly as she looked out over the river. She really needed to talk to her best friend.

Doll walked along the side of the bridge, trying to find Muse. She had gotten back from being kidnapped, and hadn't found Muse at the Lodging house, so she thought she ought to try looking for her on the bridge. She found Muse alright, and she seemed like she could use someone to talk too... Grinning like an idiot, she started jogging silently over to Muse, and listening to what remark she had said to herself.
"Where are ya Doll?"
"Well for starters," she stated, turning to lean against the railing and picking at her nails, "I was in Harlem, at a house with a 'Hattan, until some hoity toity came. Then there was a giant fight, where I helped soak some Harlem arse, then we all started running for Brooklyn. After that we were at the lodging house. I got almost hugged to death, Singer's depressed cause of Jax, and now I am here, looking for my best friend who coincidently was wondering where I was," she looked at Muse, offering a smaller smile than the one she had on earlier, "Hiya Muse, miss me?" Taking off her hat, she stuffed it in her backpocket, same as her friend, took a ribbon, and put it in a loose bun, trying to keep her hair out of her face.
Doll wondered how well Brooklyn was without Jax and herself. Bear had said being second sucked, which she found rather amusing, but also didn't like the fact that she had to lie to Singer about Jax, since, after all, Jax was Singer's best friend. But her and Jax had a silent agreement, nobody was to know except for Spot and herself. Which, all in all, sucked like the food she tried to cook.

Muse barely noticed as someone came up and stood by her, this was the Brooklyn Bridge for god sakes there was always people walking and leaning on the bridge. But her head snapped to the side as she heard Doll's voice, her eyes went wide in shock she hadn't expected to get an answer to her question. Let alone the answer coming from her so called "Missing" best friend.
"Well for starters, I was in Harlem, at a house with a 'Hattan, until some hoity toity came. Then there was a giant fight, where I helped soak some Harlem arse, then we all started running for Brooklyn. After that we were at the lodging house. I got almost hugged to death, Singer's depressed cause of Jax, and now I am here, looking for my best friend who coincidently was wondering where I was,"
"Hiya Muse, miss me?"
"Doll!" A large smile spread over Muse's features as she practically tackled the other girl in a hug. "I was goin' insane without yous!" Slowly she backed away from the girl and shook her head suddenly very angry a the bird leader, "What the hell is wrong with ya?! Goin' off ta Harlem by yaself! Ya should have brought me with ya, then at least I wouldn't have had ta listen ta Spot go nuts! Drove me crazy!" She said pushing her friend a little.
Huffing in anger she turned and looked out over the river again pushing her hair out of her face. "But ta answer yer question yeah, I missed ya, why wouldn't I miss ya." She said looking back over at Doll. "But I'm still angry at ya."

"Doll! I was goin' insane without yous!"
Doll gasped for air, but hugged back, "Me too! It wasn't easy bein' stuck in a room wit Jax, but I managed." Watching her friend curiously, she couldn't help but smile at her friend's ranting. Good ole Muse, now, THIS was what she missed. She missed people being mad at her for no reason except for the fact that she was their friend. Everyone else hugged her, but nope, her best friend yelled at her. That was one of the many reasons she missed Muse.
"What the hell is wrong with ya?! Goin' off ta Harlem by yaself! Ya should have brought me with ya, then at least I wouldn't have had ta listen ta Spot go nuts! Drove me crazy! ...."But ta answer yer question yeah, I missed ya, why wouldn't I miss ya, But I'm still angry at ya."
Her grin grew, "Aw! Youse did miss me! Dont worry, I missed ya too. And I didn't ask ya ta come cause I didn't want a lot of others to get kidnapped too, that way Spot wouldn't go TOO mad." standing next to Muse felt a whole lot more normal than she had felt in a long time. Maybe it was because she had been gone so long. "Hey Muse, what day is it today?" she asked. Nobody had told her when she had asked, so she figured she'd ask Muse, because if anyone knew the date, it was Muse.

"Me too! It wasn't easy bein' stuck in a room wit Jax, but I managed."
Muse grimaced and made a face, "That bad huh?" Sure Muse like Jax well enough, at least she did before he decide to turn his back on them. 'Little Traitor,' She thought as she turned and looked back at Doll again still sore at her, but she could never stay mad at her friends for long. Muse groaned in aggravation as her hair went every where with a big gust of wind. "Stupid hair." She mumbled. Quickly she reached back and grabbed her brown locks and started to braid it as best she could. Wasn't easy with the wind.
"Aw! Youse did miss me! Dont worry, I missed ya too. And I didn't ask ya ta come cause I didn't want a lot of others to get kidnapped too, that way Spot wouldn't go TOO mad."
The girl laughed a little. "Yeah I missed ya, I would be stupid not ta miss my best friend. I wish ya would have told me though," She said slipping one hand into her pocket to grab the light blue ribbon she used to hold her braid together. Quickly tying it off she looked back over the river again squinting her eyes at the sunlight that bounced off the water. "He was already mad, yer his goil and ya go missing, at least yous didn't have ta hear it." She said as she patted her pockets for a smoke.
"Hey Muse, what day is it today?"
Muse glanced up at Doll as she continued her search. "February fifteenth, why?" She asked as she gave up on trying to find one when she remembered that she had already smoked her last one.

"Yeah I missed ya, I would be stupid not ta miss my best friend. I wish ya would have told me though,"
"Hehe, sorry Muse," she replied, rubbing the back of her head, "Just didn't want anyone else to get kidnapped. I had to practically force Bear to stay behind." Doll really did't want anyone to get hurt, so getting yelled at about it was probably worth it. Besides, Muse was who kept her sane.... most of the time. Other times it was all pranks, all goofing off and a bunch of other fun stuff. What could she say? Muse and Doll equalled chaos.
"He was already mad, yer his goil and ya go missing, at least yous didn't have ta hear it."..."February fifteenth, why?"
Doll sighed, of course. "Sorry to put you through dat Muse. But if Spot wasn't gonna try to get him out, than I was. And, no one would tell me what day it was today, lost track in Harlem. They was all too busy huggin' me and stuff. I swear me ribs are probably gonna be bruised from huggin' by the end of da night." Sure, the love she was getting was fine, but one could take so much hugging at one time.

"Hehe, sorry Muse, Just didn't want anyone else to get kidnapped. I had to practically force Bear to stay behind."
Muse just shrugged and tossed her finished braid over her shoulder. "Don't matter now I guess, yer back and thats the important thing." Looking over at Doll she smiled and laughed a bit. "I'm surprised youse could even get Bear ta wake up. He was worried though, anyone could tell." She had seen it in a lot of the newsies, the worry they were trying to hide, but it was hard with everything that was happening and the always present threat of Harlem taking over it seemed almost second nature to worry. And then with everyone going missing that just added on to the stress of the situation. While Doll was gone Muse honestly felt like she had no one to talk too.
"Sorry to put you through dat Muse. But if Spot wasn't gonna try to get him out, than I was. And, no one would tell me what day it was today, lost track in Harlem. They was all too busy huggin' me and stuff. I swear me ribs are probably gonna be bruised from huggin' by the end of da night."
Muse just shrugged, "It's alright, after a while ya learn ta tune him out." Laughing she shook her head. "Besides i should have known something like that would have happened. Yer too stubborn ta just sit by and wait." She said flicking Doll on the head still laughing but slowly stops when Doll tells her about the loss of time she had gone through. "That can happen I guess." Nudging Doll with her hip she felt the coins in her pocket from selling. "Wanna go get a drink at O'Brady's?"

"I'm surprised youse could even get Bear ta wake up. He was worried though, anyone could tell."
Doll laughed, "Well, when ya yell in his ear he wakes up pretty fast." That, and she kicked Bear in the side, well, it was like a nudge, except with more force. Yep. Definitely more force. Well at least she didn't severely hurt him. Then that would of been an issue.
"It's alright, after a while ya learn ta tune him out. Besides i should have known something like that would have happened. Yer too stubborn ta just sit by and wait."..."Wanna go get a drink at O'Brady's?"
Doll laughed too, "Yeah, I guess I'm too stubborn," she smiled, "Sure. I'd love ta go to O'Brady's," It'd been a while since she went there, and lest to say she kind of liked the atmosphere there. Sure, it was full of drunks, but it was a nice place to be after a long, and in this case tiring, day.
