Spot sat on the pier and looked over his river. He knew that this was the last night Siren would be in New York. He wouldn't ever see her again. Suddenly he heard someone walking toward him.

"What do you want? Who is there?"

"I have a message for you Spot." Spot narrowed his eyes to get a better look at the person.

"Come here." When the person walked into the light Spot eyes widened.

"You?"

"I wanted to ask you if you knew some place for me to stay?"



Eddy sat in his wagon after the show and took his clothes off when he heard something on the door. He opened and saw Prince sitting in front of him.

"Prince, what are you doing here?" Prince let something fall out of his mouth and Eddy saw that it was a letter. He sat down on the stairs of the wagon and read it.



"But, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be on your way to the next city?" Spot asked disbelieving. This had to be a dream. He stepped closer and reached his hands towards her.

"You're really here?!" Siren nodded, smiling at him.

"I couldn't leave you! I love you Spot!" He held her in his arms as if he wouldn't ever let her go.

"You're really here! Siren, I love you!" With that he leaned forward and kissed her lovingly.

"So do you know any place?" She grinned up at him.

"You know, there is this room in this Lodging house here in Brooklyn and until we find something better, you could stay there. I'm sure the owner won't mind!" He grinned at her.

"Well, than let's go there."



Sam walked by and saw Eddy sitting on the stairs of his wagon, Prince next to him. Eddy ran his hands through his hair.

"Eddy, what's the matter with you?" Eddy didn't say anything but let Sam read the letter.

Dad,

I'm sorry, but I can't stay.

I can't leave New York and Spot!

I love him and I hope you understand. 

Please forgive me, but I couldn't look

you in the eyes and tell you this.

But I have to start my own life here.

I hope we'll see each other soon. 

I love you.

Rowan

P.S.: Sam, please take good care of my cats.

"She's an adult, Sam. And I didn't even realize it! Do you think she's happy?"

"I'm sure she is." Prince rubbed his head on Eddy's leg and he looked down at the dog.

"We'll leave tomorrow by dawn." Sam nodded and walked away.



Spot woke up before the sun peeped over the horizon. Siren lay on top of him and he had his arms around her. He noticed that she was about to wake up and looked at her smiling. When she opened her eyes she looked up at him. When she saw his smie she raised her eyebrows and rested her arms on the bed next to Spot's shoulder. She lifted her body up and looked at him asking.

"What?"

"Nothing!" He smiled and laid his hands on her hips pulling her closer and kissed her tenderly. Suddenly they heard a loud noise from the bunkroom. Spot arose sighing and Siren lay back in bed pulling the blanket closer. Spot put his pants on and walked out into the bunkroom.

When he opened the door Prince ran through his legs and jumped into the bed.

"Prince!" Siren hugged her dog and saw that something was around his neck. It was a red ribbon with a letter on it.

Dear Rowan.

I hope you are happy with Spot.

Don't worry.

We'll see each other around a year at the latest,

when we come back to New York.

When you get this letter we have already left,

so this means Prince has to stay with you!

Hope you don't mind.

I shall send you greetings from everyone and

Jean and Anne want you to look after Scarlet a bit.

In love

Eddy

Spot closed the door behind him and sat down behind Siren, pulling her close to him.

"I love you!" Siren smiled and turned around to kiss him while Prince barked next to them.

The End
