Ruler of all evil here and I am responding to a challenge… and as far as I know I am one of the firsts to do the second one.

NewsgirlxRider's Challenge: A Spot story. At the end of the movie, has anyone ever noticed how Spot is in Teddy Roosevelt's carriage when it leaves? Where does he go? Why?

Never leaving you alone

"Bye Spot!" he heard the Manhattan newsies call after him. Waving them a good bye he turned around to once again thank the governor for the ride all the way to the rich part of town.

"Thanks again Governor for the ride in all, I didn't think I would have been able to check up in her this week." Spot said smiling as he started a conversation.

"Your welcome… Spot, right?"

"yeah…"

"Well Spot, you should know I am very happy to give you a ride it gives me the chance to talked to the future leaders of this country." Roosevelt smiled and started asking Spot if he had any plans for the future and other questions such as how being a newsies is like for him, if he liked it or not.

And of course Spot went talked about his Brooklyn boys with more pride in his voice then a new father when his son learned to say "dada".

"So, Spot, why exactly did you want a ride to this part of town?" Roosevelt questioned as he started to notice the surrounding, which was a very nice neighborhood.

Spot just looked around and thought if all the memories that had happened here until he was 8 which was when he ran away. "I've got to check on my twin sister." was all he said.

"I hope you don't mind me asking but, why give this up to live on the streets?" Roosevelt was truly stumped he didn't know of any kid who would willingly give up being rich to living on the streets.

"I hated my father," Spot started, "he was/is a very evil man. He beat my mom and me, he'd never touch a hair on my sister and when I ran, I still thought he wouldn't hurt her but that thought never stopped me from coming back every week just to check on her."

"Why didn't your mom just leave?" the governor asked.

"she tried but he found out she was trying to leave and well, he beat her. He wasn't always like that he used to be a very decent man… that was before he started to loose every job he ever got the chance of an interview for. So when he started getting fired he'd drink, then he'd drink more and then flip out on us…" Spot trailed off as he started to get lost in a memory…

……9 years earlier…..

"Eliza you no good whore! Can't you even refill your own husbands glass of whiskey…" there was a loud crash through out the house as William Conlon through his glass against the wall. Eliza jumped as the glass shattered. Charlie, or Spot as his sister called him, pushed his sister into their room, shutting the door and sitting in front of it so she couldn't get out.

"Oh, and Charlie, what are you doing sitting on the floor clean up this mess! Eliza, you… are you even listening to me? Damn it get up and away from my son and get me another glass of whiskey!" he yelled clearly angry, spot got up and cleaned the mess up and when he noticed his mother still standing where she had been he got his father another glass of whiskey as well.

"Damn it boy that was for your mother to do!" he yelled again, and struck him on the face.

"Don't you dare hit one of my children!" his mother yelled back, but only to get hit as well. The only thing to stop Williams anger was when Spots twin, Emmalee, started to cry because she had opened the door only to see her mother and brother getting hurt. Will ran right over to her and picked her up and cuddled her to him trying to sooth her and reassuring her things were going to be alright.

…………..End memory………

"Well son, I hope I was of some assistance to you. And getting you to the right area so you could check on your family, and I hope that your father has lost his nasty ways." the Governor stated as he woke Spot from his thoughts. Spot then jumped out of the carriage and waved goodbye to Roosevelt. He then started to head off to the 42nd house on the street.

Well I hoped you liked the first chapter of the challenge fic thing… I shall have the second part up soon.
