Ophelia blinked and said, "Of course I am hun-" She was cut off by the sudden pull. She dissolved into laughter, jogging slightly. "Where are we going?" She asked, still laughing. This was a lot of fun. She hoped this day never ended. "You certainly know your way around." She said, getting confused by all the twists and turns of the streets. She felt a stab of panic, but pushed it aside, did she ever want to go home?"

Mush heard her laughing and laughed with her. He heard her ask where are we going. He shook his head and said, "Nope. Not tellin'. You'll see when we get there." They turned another corner onto the road that Tibby's was on. Mush stopped suddenly. He turned to Ophelia. "Close your eyes." He said waiting for her to close her eyes. He took her hand and pulled her into Tibby's and helped her into a window side booth.

"Oh, I see how you are going to be." Ophelia said, she smiled and closed her eyes obidently. She was hesitant, but trusted him, so she allowed herself to be lead, she heard the tinkling of bells. "Where are we?" She asked again as she sat down. A seat, a booth, perhaps? She was a little afraid. "I have a feeling this is going to be even more exciting then what I have experienced so far. May I open my eyes?" She said, tilting her head carefully. Her hat felt kind of loose.

Mush laughed. "Yes you may open your eyes. Welcome to Tibby's finest restraunt in town. Uh- well to us that is. Uh two hot dogs please." He said to a waiter. "Ya gotta try Tib's dogs' they're the best." He smiled at her. And she fixed her hat that had fallen askew. He looked out the window not really seeing anything. He hoped Boo would come. Mush had a lot to make up for.

Ophelia opened her eyes, she gazed around in wondered. It was so comfortable there. "Tibby's..." She repeated dazedly. "It is so... nice here." She looked at him. "A hot dog?" She asked uncertainly. "I do not think I have ever heard of them, I certainly have not eaten one." She laughed nervously. "I hope I do not drop dead from the shock." She laughed cheerfully-and quite loudly.

Mush looked at her. "You've never eaten a hot dog?" He asked in disbelief. He shook his head wow he thought. She said she would die from shock, now we couldn't have that. "Na ya can't die from the shock. I won't let ya. I has to protect ya." He looked up at her. "Just have fun." Their hot dogs came shortly after that. Mush pushed Ophelia's towards her. "Eat up." He said smiling. He grabbed his own hot dog and took a bite. Raising his eye brows at Ophelia.

"No, never." She said, shrugging. "Will not let me?" She asked devilishly. She pretended to have a heart attack, she clutched at her dress and fell onto the table. It was clearly fake. She grinned up at Mush. "Where were you then?" She asked, laughing. She straightened when their food came. She stared at it, not sure what to do. She watched Mush carefully and then tenderly picked it up and began to eat. It was good. "This is... Delicious!" She exclaimed through a mouth full of food. She was having to use vocabulary she hadn't in years.

Mush looked at her and watched her fake heart attack. He knew it was an act but playing along, he reached over. "Are you ok?" He asked overly-theatrical. Their food came and he sat back down. They laughed a while then Mush ate his hot dog. After a while Ophelia did too.
"This is... Delicious!"
Mush laughed at her. They talked for a while then after eating the waiter came over. "Here ya go." Mush said handing him a quarter. Just then the bell tinkled and someone walked in. Mush looked over Ophelia's shoulder. "Boo?" He half-stood then hesitated. Would Levi still talk to him?

Ophelia smiled and took another small bite of her hot-dog, after all, she was a lady. She chewed carefully and swallowed even more carefully. Mrs. Westchurch was always telling stories of girls choking because they didn't chew their foos probably. She looked to where he looked. "Boo?" She asked questioningly. "These nicknames keep getting sillier and sillier." She said, partially to herself. "Is he a friend of yours?" She asked, nodding to the boy who had just entered.

Levi
Levi entered Tibby's, feeling hungry and sad. He hadn't meant to make Mush mad, but he was always sticking his foot in his mouth. But then he spotted Mush. He was talking to a pretty girl. He knew he didn't know her, but at the same time, she seemed familiar. He waved to Mush and approached him. "Hey, Mush. I'm sorry about that thing that I said about Brooke and you." He said, looking sincere and embarrassed. Levi Akecheta never apologized. He smiled at Ophelia. "Who's your friend?" He asked, his smile growing into a grin.

Mush stood up and smiled at Boo. He patted him on the back. "Na that's what i wanted ta talk to ya about. I thought about it and I'm sorry. Yer one of me best friend's I shouldn'ta gone off like that." He smiled sheepishly.
"Oh. Ophelia. This is Boo. His real name's Levi. Levi this is Ophelia. She wanted me ta show her around. I asked if she was related ta Street. Don't she look like her? But she says she don't know a Street. What's Street's name huh? I can't remember it." Mush watched as Levi introduced himself.

Ophelia smiled politely. "It nice to meet you Levi." She extended her hand and he kissed it, his grin growing wider and wider as her went. "Ophelia Lexeme, actually." She nodded to Mush. "One must not forget the last name." She laughed. Levi leaned back and elbowed Mush.
"You know I like them older." He whispered, winking. Levi glanced back at her. He grinned and didn't look at Mush to answer him. "Huh? Oh, her name's Rosalind Love Lexeme. She says it all the time when she's with me, it kind of gets annoyin' after a bit. She's head over heels for me," he confirmed. "Just like every other girl in New York." He said the last bit to Mush, winking again. But, Ophelia had gone silent. Thinking. It was so long ago... Eleven years... She could barely remember her mother's face, let alone all of her siblings names. She knew that they had had to leave someone in an alley-but who? She hadn't seen Tybalt or Othello in so long... Wasn't her sister's name Rosaline?
"I-I cannot remember..." She sobbed, her hand at her throat. She looked up at Mush and Levi, stricken with sadness. "I cannot remember my own sister." She whispered, heart-broken.

Mush looked back and forth from Boo to Ophelia. He reached for her and wrapped her into a hug. "It's ok." He whispherd. "We'll find her for you. We can take you to her. Everything will be ok." He looked at Boo and mouthed Go! to him. Find her. Mush pleaded in his mind. He took Ophelia back to the booth and ordered her a water. When it came he told her to drink. She seemed so heart broken. Mush didn't like it. At all. He had been taught to keep a woman happy. He sat there looking at her while she drank and waited for her to speak again.

Ophelia felt the tears coming and for once she didn't stop them. She had been taught all her life to never show emotions... But that part was over now. Levi stood there, not sure what to do. "Mush, I don't know where Street is! Yesterday she saw Spot and Ace and she... she.. She's probably with Hunter or somethin'." He shrugged. "By the way, if you see them together, seperate them. It ain't good for her to be go close to Hunter. He's Poet's right hand man... He's devoted to her." Levi said quickly, blabbering to cover up his nervousness. His hands were flying every which way and he was fiddling with his arrowhead necklace.

Mush looked at Ophelia. She seemed, well not ok, but better. She looked up at Levi. He got up and pulled him aside. "Levi. Boo. Can you try? I don't know how. Go see Spot or something. I bet he knows where she ran of ta. I can't keep her here forever." He said looking over his shoulder at Ophelia. She was quietly sipping her water. "Ya think it's a good idea to take her to Brooklynn now? We might run inta Street." Mush looked back at Ophelia again. He sighed he had no clue what to do now.

Levi shrugged. "I guess I'll find Spot. But he's knee-deep in Ace now, I doubt he'd have seen where Street ran off to. I heard their was a leader's meeting..." Levi grumbled then added under his breath, "The only time she isn't lurkin' around a corner, stalkin' me..." He crossed his arms. "You had better make sure that girl doesn't freak." He nodded to Ophelia.
Ophelia hiccuped and tried to wipe her tears away with her gloved hands, but she wasn't succeeding much. She broke into sobs again, gaining looks from the surrounding people.
