The next week I was in a flannel and a pair of pants and a pair of boots and my hair is pulled back into a ribbon and I smiled a bit and played with some kids and I played with snowballs with them. I laughed and saw spot looking at me in my cloak and hood and I smiled at him and he looked at me talking with jack and race. Then they left I shrugged and laughed a bit as I got tackled and laughed slamming snow into thorns face laughing with them and I shuddered and headed into the lodging house I had sold earlier and I couldn't help but smile and make tea for me and thorn and I sighed a bit in happiness taking in the warm liquid. It is near Christmas and I couldn't help but smile a bit and sigh I have already gotten gifts…and a beautiful blue dress with fur lining around the neckline and it was tight to the waist and was loose the rest of the way. We are having a chritmas party and it was off the shoulder and long sleeve I sighed a bit I don't know why jack is making me wear a dress oh well.

I got dresses later on and my hair is half pulled back and curled thanks to thorn and I have makeup on my face thanks to stupid matches and I sighed nervously and pulled on the cloak hood over my face and I went downstairs and see the boys hanging out at the party some playing guitars and singing one playing mr. barnes piano.

-Spots pov-

"come on spot…give it a chance" jack said I snarled and cleaned myself up and I got out of the tub and wrapped a towel around my waist. 'why da 'ell is jack so concoined' I thought annoyed.

"why jacky boy?" I asked angrily and I pulled on a pair of undergarments and a nice pair of black pants and a white undershirt and button up with a black vest jack is lending me. I combed my hair after it dried and it was slicked back and I slipped on my newly cleaned boots. I sighed a bit and pulled on my black suspenders and a jacket that apparently donated and I sighed a bit.

"because…youse need a healthy relationship.." jack said crossing his arms over his chest and I raised an eyebrow at him.

"…..youse crazy" I said annoyed "ise don't tink it's a good idea…shes a newsie!" I yelled

"control dat tempeh conlon" he said chiding me I sighed and headed downstairs and looked around and I heard boots coming down and I looked up seeing a cloak that I know too well. I sighed a bit and I took her arm and we went to an old area of town with a bar and we heard music.

-Juliets POV-

I sighed nervously and let my hood be lowered inside and I took my cloak off putting it down and felt eyes on me I turned and blushed a thousand shades of red with spot looking at me wide eyed in shock. He was quite handsome as well and I couldn't hrlp but stare he was going to say something when the most adorable 8 year old girl walked up and tugged on his pants her brown hair to below her chest in a cute dress walked over she tugged and he kneeled down in front of her and smiled and it made my heart melt.

"whats up lamb chop?" he asked and she blushed heavily and smiled.

"dance with me!" she ordered he nodded and they went out to the dance floor and he twirled her and they danced making me laugh a bit clapping my hands in time with the music. He laughed and they danced to a couple songs and I was handed a water I sipped it and laughed a bit and spot whispered to her and she laughed a bit and nodded whispering to him and he walked over as another irish jaunty beat picked up he pulled me over and grabbed a beer from two people and I saw them arm wrestling I smirked and looked at spot and took the cig from one of the guys.

"so you think you are big tough men….watch this" I took a drag and let it out I handed the bottom of my dress to spot and took off my boots and I rolled up on my feet and onto my big toe. I held it smirking at the guys and fell and spot caught me I started to laugh a bit. "I haven't done that for a while" I said laughing at him he chuckled and did the same our eyes catching and he pulled me close and we went to the dance area after I stuck the cig into the guys mouth.

We danced for a while and laughed a bit and he did some fancy footsteps and I did the same and I did some of my own and he copied and we started to do it in sync and I laughed. We had a good time and were now slow dancing I grinned a bit and he spun me in a circle and set me down. I laughed a bit and felt butterflies in my stomach I gulped and pushed my bangs from my face and looked down. I felt my chin being pushed up and I looked at spot kind of shocked I mean seriously he actually looked tender for a minute.

I cleared my throat nervously and he looked down at me and whispered "mistletoe" he said looking up and I gulped seeing it.

"all in the season so I guess we have to" I whispered and I wasn't even sure why I was whispering I was mentally punching myself over and over again and he leaned down and kissed my softly I pulled away after a second and looked up at him. "umm I am slightly sleepy can we head back?" I asked and he flinched a bit and nodded stonily and I nodded and slipped my cloak around my neck and we headed back to Brooklyn.

We walked in silence and headed upstairs I looked at spot and he looked at me and I sighed a bit and took a package out of my cloak. "merry Christmas spot" I said smiling and handing it to him I walked off. I went into my room and bathed quickly getting everything off and pulled on a pair of pants my undergarments of course first and a shirt and flannel. My hair is in a French braid and I am wearing my socks. I heard a grunt and saw thorn looking up at me sleepily drunk run to the bathroom and puke got up and wet a cloth and when she came out groaning I handed it to her and she was relieved and I got her some water to rinse her motuh out too.

"how did it go wid spot?" she asked I sighed a bit and smiled.

"it was fun…we were dancing, and playing around a bit and well…he kissed me under the mistletoe" I said turning away. She gasped and I turned and she smiled hugely.

"oh my goodness that is freaking good news!" she said grinning I heard a door open and it was siren and she glared at me and I gulped a bit nervously.

"spots mine" she said seething I snorted a bit.

"yeah how about queens leadeh?" I asked annoyed she flung her hair over her shoulder and glared at me.

"also mine.." she said twirling a piece bored. "listen heah goily….spot is mine…and he will be back to me…I know him that well" she said stepping closer I glared at her angrily and my mind was in a whirl.

"Ise don't want ta fight youse" I whispered and she laughed loudly and poked me in the chest.

"youse wanted a fight since ya got heah…and now youse have one" she said pulling her arm back and punching me I glared at her and wiped my lip and tried to walk aaway the girls were waking up at the commotion. I got grabbed by the leg and I kicked her off and she grunted falling over. 'shit..'
