Chapter 3: The Hunt For Spot

After all the excitement was over, well not all over Race and David were holding each other and crying their hearts out while Sarah was outside running away from the pleading Jack. Les said, "I think Spot is dead..." Andy jumped up and screeched, "What?" Les said, "Uh, no...sorry I didn't mean to say that...I meant somebody else..." Dawn whispered, "Nice save Les..." Andy sighed and sat back down, "Sorry, just kinda feel weird...now that Spot told me he loves me..." Dawn asked, "Weird like you are going to cough up a furball weird or weird like crack pot weird?" Andy asked, "What is it with you and furballs, what were you a cat in your past life?" Dawn shrugged, "I just don't know.." Les shouted, "Stop fighting or I'll beat you with an ugly stick, we need to go look for Spot." Andy scratched her chin, "Hmmm...why didn't I think of that before?" Dawn answered, "Because sometimes you don't think." Andy said, "That's true...anyway...let's go look fro Spot." Dawn replied, "Alrighty then, Les you stay here, just in case Spot comes here." Les nodded and said, "Don't worry I have a lot company, just watching my big brother who was my hero and race cry..." Race yelled over through sobs, "I.heard.that." Andy and Dawn went outside. Dawn said in a Australian accent, "The animal we are looking today folks is Spot.." Andy stared at Dawn, "When did you get an Australian accent all of a sudden?" Dawn replied, "Andy it's a fake accent..." Andy said weakly, "I knew that." Dawn smacked Andy on the head, "Getting off topic, Spot remember?" Andy said, "Oh yeah, almost forgot." Dawn asked, "Where do you think he will be?" Andy said, "Hm...Irving Hall?" Dawn nodded and the both of them went off to Irving Hall. Once they got there Andy said, "Okay...now what..." Dawn said annoyed, "Start searching!" Andy raised her hands up in defense, "Hey I never was apart of a search party, sue me." Dawn said, "You search backstage, I'll search out front." Andy nodded.

With Andy

Andy went backstage and yelled out, "Spot are you here!?" Andy took a step forward not seeing a roller skate under her. Andy slipped and she pulled a rope to help her get up, but that rope wasn't there for her aid, once she pulled it bags full of sand dropped down. One landed on her leg. Andy said, "Ah, I can't get it off, boy these things are heavy." Andy asked out again, "Spot are you sure your not there." Medda came from her dressing room, finding Andy on the floor with one of the big bags of sand on her leg. Medda asked, "What happened here." Andy paused before she said, "Uh..I slipped on a roller skate and pulled the rope for support and the bags dropped out of the sky...I think god hates me for some reason...since one landed on my leg and now I can't get up..." Medda laughed and heaved the bag of Andy's leg. She then helped Andy up. Andy said, "Thanks Medda, by the way have you seen Spot?" Medda answered, "Yes honey, he was only here for a few minutes seemed very troubled." Andy sighed, "Aw man, thanks anyway Medda." Andy went to go look for Dawn.

With Dawn

Dawn searched every table and still couldn't find Spot. Dawn walked on stage and called to the crowd, "Spot are you here, Spot I repeat are you here?" Someone yelled, "NO, NOW GET OFF THE STAGE!" They then threw a sandwich at her. Dawn said after wiping the sandwich, "All I have to say is how rude." She marched off stage. Dawn yelled out, "OH SPOTTY BOY, ANDY YOUR LOVE IS LOOKING FOR YOU!" No answer... She tried again, "ANDY WAS TO SEE YOU REALLY REALLY BAD!" Still no answer... Dawn walked around in circles for at least 20 minutes. Dawn stopped and said, "Okay, that did nothing but made me look like an idiot."

Andy and Dawn together

Andy tapped Dawn on the shoulder. Dawn jumped and shouted, "Don't move any closer I'm armed!" Andy said, "Relax, it's me." Dawn turned around and said, "Oh okay, see Spot anywhere?" Andy answered, "Medda said he was here, but now he not." Dawn said, "That doesn't make sense, now he not?" Andy replied, "Sorry, so out of breath being attacked bags of sand makes me not talk right." Dawn nodded, "Okay...let's go look more in Manhattan." Andy said, "Okay, let go?" Dawn asked, "Let go, I'm not even touching you.." Andy sighed, "I mean let's go!" Dawn and Andy searched in Manhattan but still didn't find Spot. So they decided to check everywhere else. Hours later Andy and Dawn quit and went back to the lodging house. Dawn asked, "Did Spot come here?" Les replied, "No." Andy shouted, "Ahh where could he be, we check Manhattan, Harlem, Staten Inland, Long Inland and all the other Islands!" Les asked, "Did you check Brooklyn?" Dawn and Andy stared. Les said, "I can't believe it, you guys looked all over in New York, expect in Brooklyn, where Spot is the leader there?!" Dawn said, "Yup..." Andy said, "Well we'll go there later, now we need to make money." Dawn said, "Oh yeah, forgot about our job, we should fire ourselves." Andy asked as they walked out the door onto the streets, "Why?" Dawn answered pulling out the 2 tin cans and placing them on the ground, "Since we were late, we are our own boss...and bosses fire anyone that is late." Andy said, "How bout no." Dawn shrugged, "Okay then..." Andy said, "Let's sing the ebay song." Dawn asked, "What's ebay?" Andy answered, "I don't just sing it." So Dawn and Andy began singing:

(music fades out)

After they finished, a huge crowd of people clapped and put money in the 2 tin cans. Andy looked out to the crowd and saw a familiar hat...and cane... Andy whispered to Dawn, "Spot is here." Dawn asked, "Where?" Andy pointed over where Spot is. Dawn nodded, "I distract him you jump on his back." Andy nodded. Dawn walked over to Spot carrying the 2 tin cans, "Hey Spot." Spot answered, "Oh hey, haven't seen Andy have you?" Dawn shook her head, "Why?" Spot replied, "I'm hiding from her." Behind him Andy crept over. Dawn nodded over to her to Andy telling her to jump on him now. Andy jumped on Spot's back, "Surprise!" Spot said, "Ahhh!" Andy jumped down from his back and took Spot's cane. She said, "You want it, then come and get it." Dawn said, "Yeah." The both of them ran away. Spot yelled, "Come back!"

A/N: Okay, Andy here tell me and Dawn what you think on the story so far...and remember Dawn will be writing the next chapter...PEACE...
