"Agggh, why do I gotta sleep down heah?" Hades groaned. She had just hit
her head and she was pretty pissed. Aki had stolen her top space...AGAIN.
"Because I always hit me head when I slept down theah!" Aki laughed. She was taunting her, but Hades had had enough, so she flipped Aki on the nose. Aki reached for Hades but Stress held her back.
"What did I tell you goils 'bout fightin?" Stress nagged, pointing her finger in their faces. Hades and Aki rolled their eyes. This was a daily routine for the girls.
"Anyone seen Spin?" Tunes said walking into the room.
"Naw, I don't t'ink her and Blinky-poo came home last night." Stress joked. Spin and Blink had a problem not showing up to the Lodging House at curfew.
"She's nevah been dis late comin' in befoah. She's usually back by now." Gip added.
"Did I heah me name?" Spin shouted, sliding into the room with a big smile on her face. Once again, totally routine. Spin went to wash her face and whatnot while the other girls waited for her.
"Someone should really talk ta her bout comin in so late." Tunes whispered.
Stress and Aki agreed but Gip didn't. "It's her choice if she wants ta stay out late. I know if I could, I stay out late with Oscah!"
Everyone rolled their eyes at the mention of Oscar. He wasen't liked to well, but what Delancey is? After Spin was ready, she came in with a big grin on her face.
"So, goils, how were your nights?" she said, putting an innocent look on her face.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, Spin. Don't pull dat on us. Less just go to the D.O. befoah she starts on her night." Hades complained and rolled her eyes, she didn't wanna hear anything about it, and she was positive the other girls didn't either. Hades, Spin, Aki, Tunes, Stress and Gip were best friends, but sometimes Spin just went to far on her stories.
They were already 30 minutes late to the Ditribution Office, but they never left anyone behind. Spin was always the last one, so it wasn't unusual that they were late.
"Everyone has awlready left, I hope we don't get in trouble fah dis." Aki snipped , shooting a look at Spin.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'll try ta be on time tamorrow." Spin says defensively. The girls made their way to the D.O., and the usual couples were already there. Kaa and Dave were sitting with Ramble and Pie Eater, Slah and Specs, Gilligan and Race, Cutie Pie and Snipes, Irish Flare and Snitch, going over the headlines. Martini and Dutchy were just leaving.
"You guys late again? Let me guess, Spin's fault?" Martini giggled, punching Spin in the shoulder and giving her a thumbs up. Spin was to busy looking for Blink to notice, or feel the punch. She spotted him and sauntered towards him.
"Hey stranger." She whispered, giving him a kiss on the cheek.
"Hey dollface! I awlready got your papes." he tells her, flashing his trademark smile.
"Your too precious fah woids." Spin squeaked happily, grabbing his hand and making her way towards the gate.
In the meantime, the other girls were searching for their special someones. Tunes had already spotted Skittery and they were joining Spin and Blink. Hades was busy getting her papers while Mush was talking to Stress and Jack. Gip was talking to Oscar, nobody came near her while she did that. Her whole group hated him, but they put up with him only because they were good friends to Gip. Aki was looking for Boots. She found him and joined the others. Chattah followed.
"So wheah we goin tanight goils?" Jack asked. He slipped his arm around Stress' waist and waited for an answer.
"I dunno Jack. Whadda you tink guys?"
Various ideas floated around the group as they made their way to Brooklyn to get Spot. Spot and Chattah had been together for a couple of months and they were very much in love.
Spin always detested the idea of getting Spot. They hated each other. The fact that they were brother and sister didn't help. The sun was just setting by the time they got around to going to Brooklyn.
"I hate goin' ta Brooklyn." Spin mumbled, crossing her arms across her chest and gave the docks ahead a look that could make the happiest person in the world grumpy. She fiddled with the cross that hung around her neck, the one that used to be Spot's.
Blink put his arm around her shoulder." Just don't worry bout it too much. If ya don't say any'ting to 'im, he won't say any'ting ta you. That way I can see you'se happy." he whispered in her ear. They stepped up on Spot's dock. He jumped down from his perch and glared at Spin. A glare that looked like he was gunna start a fight with her.
"Because I always hit me head when I slept down theah!" Aki laughed. She was taunting her, but Hades had had enough, so she flipped Aki on the nose. Aki reached for Hades but Stress held her back.
