Hey!! Sorry its taking me longer to get these out…. I just haven't had as
much time as I used to!!! Well here goes…
Alley was excited. She was feeling better and was out in the sunshine with her friends. Alley felt like singing and dancing… a quite normal thing for a newsie to do, but she decided to wait until a later time. She, Jack, and LoudMouth were looking for a new spot to sell. Alley had to work on her selling techniques Jack had said. Alley didn't see anything wrong with them but knew that Jack knew what he was talking about. They went a few blocks to a shopping district and decided to start out there.
" You see this headline "Ferry boat late to dock"? What you change it to is: Ferry boat stuck out at sea, people on board wait for three hours. Or somethin' like that." Jack said.
Alley was then left on her own to try to sell papes. She scanned the headlines for something interesting. Not much today.
A couple hours later when Alley had sold all of her papes she headed to where Jack was. He was finished too and LoudMouth came up a minute later.
" Whadda we doin' tonight?" LoudMouth asked
"Theah's a pokah game down in Brooklyn," Jack mentioned. "I'se thinkin' I might check it out"
" I might as well come, I'se like ta see my buddah as often as possible." LoudMouth mentioned
Alley cringed. She didn't want to stay behind, but she didn't feel like visiting Brooklyn so soon.
" Maybe ya should stay behind Alley" LoudMouth said when she saw the cringe on Alley's face.
"Nah, everyone's gonna be ovah theah, an' I don' feel like stayin' behind." Alley said figuring she'd regret it.
Jack smiled and then turned towards the other street. They had been walking down the street during this conversation and it was time for them to head to lunch.
Alley looked in her pocket to see how much money she still had from that bet she'd won at the racetracks "Aw, darn, I'se runnin' outta money."
"Whadda ya mean? Newsies is always runnin' outta money."
"What ya didn't heah about the money Alley made at the racetracks??" LoudMouth questioned
"No, when was this?" Jack asked
" Right befoah we left foah Brooklyn," Alley answered. "But I think I used it all up already"
"Sounds ta me like we'se got anodda Race on our hands" Jack joked.
By then those three had reached Tibby's. They walked in and sat down at their usual table. This time Alley was next to Race and Blink. She was across from Jack and Mush. Alley liked that the people she liked surrounded her. She was really getting used to being a Newsie.
Once lunch was over most of the Manhattan Newsies headed for Brooklyn. They were taking the day off so they could have enough money to be in the poker game.
As they walked across the Brooklyn Bridge a cool air hit Alley. She was thankful for that because it was a really hot day.
It turned out that they were meeting Spot and his gang down at the docks. When the Newsies were walking the docks, most of them looked longingly at the water. Everyone was sweating bullets. Jack talked to Spot for a minute and then signaled to David. David suddenly broke into a run and ran straight off the dock into the water. Once the Newsies realized what he was doing they all went running after him. LoudMouth was the only smart one, in Alley's opinion, she took off her shoes before jumping in. Alley didn't want to get wet. She didn't have a lot of clothes and didn't feel like being wet the rest of the night. What she did do was take off her shoes and put her feet in the water.
"What yoah not comin' in?" David called.
"Nah, I don' feel like getting in" Alley said. As soon as that sentence left her mouth Blink and Race swam up and started splashing her. Alley got away without getting wet that much but still Alley wasn't in the best of moods with them.
" 'AY! If I told ya I didn't feel like getting' in, I meant it!" she yelled half mad but half happy since the coolness of the water made her feel good.
" 'Ay Alley." Spot called to her from behind.
Alley turned around to see a half naked Spot standing not too far away (half naked from the top up!!!) Alley was totally unprepared to see Spot this way and stepped back to steps.
"What?" Spot smirked "Ya were in my room foah three days!"
Alley just smiled. She looked back to make sure she wasn't teetering over the edge. As she turned around to face Spot again she was sprayed with another few splashes. She turned around and glared at the guys.
"Ya back heah pretty fast, couldn't stay away could ya?" Spot smirked
Alley looked him up and down " Who da ya think ya are Spot? Ya ain't the best lookin' guy around" she retorted
Spot's eyes narrowed, he was mad, but then Alley saw his face change. His eyes went back to normal and his mouth erupted into the biggest smirk she'd ever seen him smirk. He then stuck his arm out pushing Alley the few inches she had to go before she fell off the dock. But Alley did something he didn't expect. She really didn't want to get wet so she reached for his arm, instead of him holding her back she dragged the dry Spot right into the water with her. It felt like slow motion to Alley her and Spot falling through the air. When they hit the water Alley felt the coldness of the water down to her toes. It was the best feeling on a hot summer day. Then Spot landed on her, that wasn't the best feeling. Once she recovered Alley swam to the top. Everyone was laughing, but Alley didn't care she felt great, she was cooled down and Spots revenge had backfired. She was treading water when a splash hit her eyes. "Ow!" she thought as she closed her eyes and blindly splashed whoever splashed her back.
Alright!!!!!!! What do you think? I feel great!! I'm getting my brain flowing again!!!!!! I HAVE IDEAS!!! Sorry I keep going back to Brooklyn, Spot's the easiest character for me to write. So Alley's going to go there a lot. I'll try to put some more variety with the characters. THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HAVE REVIEWED!!! YOU MAKE ME WANT TO WRITE AND GET IDEAS!! If it weren't for you this would've stopped a long time!!!!!!! LONG TIME AGO! Anyone who hasn't reviewed YOU MEAN-HEAD!! Hehe! Review NOW!
