It was a beautiful day in New York City. Destiny was up early. She sat on the edge of the old boat that She, Dodger, Fagin and the others called home. She loved how the morning breeze swept through her fur.

Then she heard footsteps coming up behind her. "Good Morning Des'" Dodger said as he walked up beside her. "Morning" She sighed when she said that.

"Dodger, I have something to tell you" Destiny gained her confidence to speak up because she was so nervous about what she was about to tell him.

"You can tell me anything" Dodger said to Destiny. "I'm" She was cut off by Fagin saying "Come on Boys Lets go". "You'll have to tell me later" Dodger ran after Fagin.

'Will I ever get to tell him at this rate" She thought as she went back to bed.

Dodger and the others were back at about 10 AM. By then Destiny was definitely not tired after the long rest she'd had.

'I'll just have to try and find the right time to tell him' she thought again. She heard the others walk through the door and immediately made herself be happy. "Hey guys, did you find anything today" Her smile deteriorated when she saw that Fagin was not happy about something.

That made Destiny feel sorry for him. They all knew that look. Sykes' new replacement was coming again that evening. And he was worse than Sykes' ever was.

But worst of all, He hated dogs. And he expects to get more money if he doesn't loan Fagin anything.

Right after He left, Destiny pretty much exploded. "Someday I'm gonna" Destiny cut herself off and then added "He's just such a" She cut herself off again

Then she realized that this was the perfect time to tell Dodger. But she couldn't do it herself. She walked up to Rita since they were good friends and Rita already knew what she was going to tell him. "Hey Rita" Rita listened carefully to Destiny's Request and obeyed immediately.

Surprisingly, Dodger took it quite well. This definitely took Destiny by surprise.
