Jack took a deep breath as he stepped out of the office. His smile stretched from ear to ear and he was practically jumping already. He almost ran out to Katherine and Crutchie, his fists pumping in the air. "I got the job!"

All three of them screamed in excitement and gathered together in a hug. Crutchie pulled out of the group first, but not before he handed Jack a small box.

Katherine smiled at Jack. "You're going to be an amazing teacher, Jack."

"Thanks, Ace. Ya know, now that I'm gonna be teachin' art, I'm gonna see beautiful things everyday, but I don't think it's going to be enough."

Katherine looked at Jack with a confused face as he took her hands.

"I wanna see the most beautiful goil in the whole world, everyday. So, Katherine," Jack got down on his knee as Katherine's eyes started to water. "Will you make that dream come true, and do me the honor of becoming my wife?"

Yes, yes. Yes ,yes, yes!"

"Yeah!" Jack slipped the ring around Katherine's finger as a stampede of newsboys came running around the corner cheering.

Katherine tilted in to give Jack a kiss. "Well, I guess it's time to plan a wedding."
