I woke up at the Lodging House. Spot was holding my hand. Jack was pacing. Shay was holding a bloody cloth to my stomach. Shakespeare was crying.

"What?" I croaked.

"Ivory." Said Ace. But I wasn't finished.

"Hey guys she's up!" Yelled Race.

"Happened?" I got out, finally.

"You'se blacked out. We brought ya here and dragged dat sword outa ya." Explained Spot. Oh, that's nice.

"Where is he?"

"Went to your house before dawn." I nodded and fell asleep again. I woke at night, completely heeled. The bunkroom was full. A new boy was sent to take care of me. I smiled, "Hi," I said, "What's your name?"

"Rusty." He has black hair and deep blue eyes.

"Hi Rusty, I'm Ivory. Am I still alive?" He nodded, "Damn." I muttered and heard him snicker. I got the impression that he doesn't laugh a lot. So I made him laugh, I made him laugh hard. Half the room was shocked to hear him having a good time, the other half didn't care.

"Desent walked in with black and red roses. I grinned, My favorite. Rusty left as we hugged. "Thank you." I said.

"I love you." He said finally.

"Find me." I whispered.

"Always."

A bright blue portal opened. "It's time to go home." I told him. A crowd of boys backed away from it's opening.

"Where is you'se goin'?" Asked Spot.

"Home," I replied, "I'm from the year 2001 Spot." I bit my lip as I examined his cuts.

"What about your stuff?" Asked Jack.

"I'll get it later. They want me home now."

"What about my stuff?"

I changed my outfit quickly with my magic. Jack's clothes were folded \neatly on the bed, and I was now in tight leather pants, black halter-top and a leather trench coat.

"Shoes?" Asked Race.

"Shoes give limitation to movement." I replied.

It took a while, but I gave each Newsie a hug and Desent a kiss. I hugged Spot again and kissed him on the forehead. "It's been fun Pup." I spit in my hand, and he spit in his, and we shook. And lastly I put my hands on his cheeks and heeled the gashes with out even a scar.

I went to the entrance to the portal. "Bye!" I waved and jumped in. New memories floated by as I took my journey home.

Angel held me back as Desent got hit with an arrow. It was just below the heart. Maltoch died as I grabbed a sword from Angel and stuck it in his gut. My husband was saved.

I snapped out of it as I hit the ground. Dee smiled at me. "What year is it?"

"2001," he replied, "Have fun?"

I hugged him just as our daughter Jonica, "Jonny" walked in.

The life that I wanted. The Gods' kept their promise.
