Mush could feel his eyes becoming wider with every word he heard. And he thanked god he wasn't a woman. The things they went through. He laughed when Levi mouthed torture. That was what it sounded like. He was still grinning ear to ear when Street yelled at Ophelia. "I said no, Ophelia!" Mush just grinned more at that. He looked over and saw Levi grabbing his sides and trying to hold onto the counter for support. Mush laughed more at this and soon he was holding onto Levi for support. They both fell to the ground, unable to hold on any longer. They were like that when Scarlette came out followed by a smiling Ophelia and Street who wasn't as happy. But hey, Ophelia was just a happy kind of person.

Ophelia coughed softly to get there attention. Levi sobered up and nudged Mush in the side. They stood there facing Scarlett and Ophelia-who was grinning more then usual. "I am pleased to present Rosalind Love Lexeme." She announced, and her and Scarlett stepped to the side, revealing Street.
She wore a flowy white dress that was very simply printed with tiny blue flowers. A blue ribbon ran around her waist, tied in the back. Her blonde hair was clean for once and shone slightly in the light. It was piled on her head with a few curls framing her face. She smiled uncertainly and she smooth her dress down, making the fresh petticoat rustle. Levi cleared his throat and looked at Mush for help.

Mush straightened up and helped Levi up. He controlled the urge to roll his eyes at Levi and blinked a few times. "Wow, Street. You look... nice." He smiled and nodded. "We can still call you Street right?" He asked jokingly. With her new dress and clean hair, she looked like someone that would sell valuables just to buy more, not steal other peoples. He nudged Levi. THey had a facial argument for a minute, then Levi complimented her. Mush nodded, agreeing with Levi. He winked at Ophelia and mouthed good job. He smiled at her then averted his eyes to Street and Scarlett. He wondered if their comments were good enough for her. He shook himself mentally (again) for what seemed the millionth time in his life and smiled at Street again.

Levi rubbed his neck and said. "You look like a girl." He said, that was all he could think of. But Street grinned anyways and smiled. She nodded in his direction.
"Can I put my old clothes on now?" She asked. Ophelia shook her head.
"You are going to dress like this from now on."
"But! Ya can't run in a dress this nice! People will spot ya! I'll stand out and-" She continued listing all the drawbacks of dressing nicely.

Mush laughed softly. "I don't think you's gonna be runnin' anywhere Street. Ophelia's turnin' you inta a goil." He walked over and put his arm around Ophelia. He was still shaking from supressed laughter. Levi just stood there, staring dumbfounded at Street. "Nice dress." He whispered in Ophelia's ear. He looked at her dress. It was nice too. He thought she'd look nice in any kind of dress she wore, though. Probably even in Street's clothes. Though, he couldn't picture her in ratty Newsies clothes like him.

Street grumbled something unintelligable and pulled at her skirt. "It is a nice dress, but still... I ain't gonna be wearin' nothin' like this. Girl or not." She said, and began attacking the petticoat violently. "Help me outta this thing!" She snapped at Levi. He jumped off the stool and tried to untie it too.
"Street, move your hand, yeah?"
"Move yer hand!"
Ophelia sighed and whispered to Mush, "I think you should help them, before they hurt themselves."
"What if ya cut it off?" Street suggested to Levi. She looked up at him thoughtfully.
"No!" Ophelia cried. "You must keep it in one piece in case of a theatre show... Or an outing." She said knowingly, glancing at Levi.

Mush couldn't help himself and laughed at Ophelia's comment. Hurt themselves.. that sounded exactly like Street and Levi. He retracted his arm and walked over to Street. "Or.. yous could pull this string here and watch it all fall out." He'd kept his eye on the one string Levi kept avoiding. He didn't think it would work, really. But since Levi's ideas weren't working, he figured he'd give it a shot. The petticoat came untied and Street took a huge breath in, like it made it hard to breath. Which, Mush wouldn't deny. Those things did look uncomfortable. He chuckled as Levi looked outright confused.

Street let the skirt drop back into its proper place and then the petticoat fell to the floor. She scooped it up and threw it randomly at Ophelia, not caring whether or not she missed. She spun on her heel and viewed the things for sell. "Oh! Oh! This is lovely!" She cried over and over. Levi dejectedly trailed after her. Ophelia was viewing necklaces.
"Oh Mush! This is absolutely splendid!" She said, pointing to a long string of pearls.
"Look at the price tag..." Levi snickered evilly before Street distracted him again by throwing a cat she had found into his arms.
Ophelia viewed it. "One hundred! Bank robbery, surely, Mercutio?" She inquired. He shrugged and brought it out. Ophelia ran the pearls over her teeth. "They are real, to be sure. But... I do not get my allowance for three more weeks. Might you... reserve them for me?" Ophelia asked sweetly.
"Need a down payment." Mercury told her. She gave him fifty.
"Why don't ya buy me somethin' pretty?" Street asked Levi suddenly. "Like Mush and Ophelia."
"Mush didn't buy her nothin'. Here," Levi pulled a thick ribbon from a shelf and tied it gently around her neck. He gave her a bead on a rawhide string to tie on it. "There you go. I made you somethin'." He grinned suavly. She tried to glare at him unsuccessfully.

Mush looked at the longing in Ophelia's eyes. He pulled Mercutio over to the side while she was busy viewing other necklaces. "I ain't got much, but what can i do ta buy Ophelia that necklace?" He honestly would do anything to get it for her. Her face was full of longing when she'd looked at it. He wanted to do something nice for her.

Mercury shoved his hands in his pocket and surveyed the boy. "Ah... You and Levi are already working off Street's medicine... And Ophelia can buy herself the necklace... How about this?" He showed Mush a pearl ring that matched the necklace perfectly. "Payment plan or you work it off." He said, stowing the case away again with a lock of his key.
Street peered over at Mush and a twinkle came into her eye. Levi frowned. "Hey Mush, save the shoppin' for later, huh? You're givin' her ideas." He snickered, but grinned anyway. Street rolled her eyes.
"I just wanted ta see what he was gettin' my sister, fool." She huffed, not being able to hide her smile.

Mush smiled and thanked Mercutio quietly. His ring problem was solved, it would just take a while to get. He rolled his eyes at Levi and turned around. "Well maybe if ya treated Street once in a while, she wouldn't get ideas." He smiled, teasing Levi. He walked over to Ophelia. Trying to seem like everything was normal he said, "See anythin' ya like?" He wrapped his arm around her waist and gave her a one armed hug.

Levi frowned at him and pulled Street away from him. "Stop it. You'll infect her with your babble and make her have visions of grandeur." He hissed, Street chuckled.
"Visions of grandeur? Your vocabulary had improved most impressively," Ophelia said cheerfully. "Only you," She told Mush sweetly, hugging him tightly. Behind them, Street and Levi exchanged disgusted looks and stepped away from each other quickly. Levi pretended to gag.

Mush chuckled and kissed Ophelia on her forehead. He turned around at mouthed the word clueless at Levi. Which was true, Levi had no idea. "So what's on the agenda for today?" He asked Ophelia. "We can do whateva ya want." He smirked at Levi, "and maybe they can join us." Now, he was picking on Levi. He knew what Levi would say but Mush enjoyed teasing him. He teased Street too much. He needed another victim.

Ophelia simpered. "Anything you wish, dear." She said, kissing his cheek lovingly. Street bit her lip, unsure if she should look away or not. She looked at Levi and found him looking at her with an odd look on his face. She didn't know how the look was supposed to make her feel, so she moved over to Ophelia and Mush.
"Can we go to the Vaudeville? They're puttin' on a new play that I never seen before! Ben-Hur or somethin'! Can we go? Can we?" She asked excitedly, pulling on Ophelia and Mush's sleeves. Levi shrugged.
"Why not... Just what I need. Darkness and a psycho stalker..." He mumbled, while trying to hide his grin of pleasure. Ophelia looked to Mush.

He looked down at Street and smiled. She was bringing out the five year old again to get what she wanted. "Sure. o'course we can go. If you want ta that is." He looked at Ophelia. He figured she would want to go but he wanted to make sure. He looked back at Levi in amazement. He hadn't expected that answer. Okay, yes he did. Well, sorta. The amazement went away when he saw Levi's face. A small smile broke out on his own face.
