I never asked spot what he was told; the paleness told me all of it. He was told he might die, at least that's what I came up with. We went and sold our papes and soon enough we were on our way to hatten. Why? I didn't know but I was told to wear a skirt and blouse; which I am not. I told them no. So I am wearing a nice blue button up and nice black pants I had with me. My hair wasn't in its usual French braid but down and hidden under my cap.
"so why don't youse want to wear a dress?" spot asked as we walked to hatten. I looked at him as he took my cap off letting my brown hair fall to below my chest.
"I don't like dresses" I answered softly looking down. I didn't feel comfortable wearing skirts or dresses.
"SPOT!" a voice yelled I looked up seeing jack with a beautiful looking redhead lady. I smiled and walked over and he smiled. "medda, this is our newest edition coyote" He said smiling a medda curtsied I had a bit of envy for that.
"nice to meet you coyote..whats your real name?" She asked curiously looking me up and down. I blushed and felt spot behind me.
"aria" I said softly looking down. "my dad was really into music before he passed away…he named our cat lyric"I said giving more information then I intended.
"wow…can you sing?" She asked and I blushed yet again I was writing down song lyrics last night to keep myself busy from songs I remembered from the future.
"somewhat" I said softly rolling from toe to my heels. I was feeling stared at and she clapped excitedly.
"come with me" She said holding her hand out. "the other girls rarely let me do this so please come with me" She said smiling and I took her hand hesitantly and soon I was swept away inside. It was beautiful and the best thing was it wasn't too fancy, just enough fancy to make it look historic I don't even know if they still have this building or not.
I wsa pulled into a dressing room with a ton of dresses laying around, my eyes were filled with curiosity as she got me a blue dress and shoes to match. I flinched and she smiled at me. "I don't do dresses" I mumbled but she waved me off.
"we have to dress the part for when we want to impress that spot conlon" She said knowingly making me blush. I was put into the dress with a tiny hint of perfume and my hair was piled on my head as a fashionable updo. The dress was ankle length and fit me perfectly with the corset pulled in.
"how did you know?" I asked her about spot and she smiled sadly.
"darling just be careful…hes had many girls come here and try for him but he turned only a couple down…well a lot of girls down…" She said putting her hand on my bare shoulder from the shoulder sleeves that kept my neck and collar bare.
"I will I never dated anyone before" I said honestly and she smiled putting some red on my lips leaving my eyes alone.
"well hopefully this turns out well for you, this whole thing is to show off to the other boroughs. Harlem will be here tonight" She warned me and I nodded in understanding. "They are trying to start a war with Brooklyn before but they are under new management" She explained all of it to me and how they are trying to make peace with eachother.
I was done and soon I was walked out by medda on stage where jack, spot and the harlem leader stood. The harlem leader is very attractive with black hair, and blue eyes with a muscular build. He had one flaw it was his teeth. His teeth were brown and cracked in some places.
"wow.." jack muttered looking at me with a hint of lust in his eyes. It made me blush but he toned it down when I looked back at him.
Spot turned a red filled his cheeks with a hint of fury in them when the harlem leader who I later learned was chess was staring at me lust. I think it was lust as ive said before I don't have much relationship experience.
I looked at them both as they talked out their problems slowly and with carefulness. I was led to a piano by medda a few minutes later. I luckily knew how to play or I would look like a fool trying to work it out. I waited until they spit shook; it took chess a few minutes to do so but soon enough he did.
I started to play an upbeat tune and smiled as everyone partied. It made me smile seeing everyone getting along. I felt hands fall on my shoulders gently and I looked up seeing spot smiling at me. He sat next to me and started playing a smoother and slower tune. I slowly picked up the pace and started playing with him. He smiled and I smiled back making his eyes light up as he wiggled his eyebrows. I looked back seeing everyone dancing and enjoying themselves. The boroughs were dancing together even with meddas couple of dancers she had there.
