Stars Note: Yep. More notes from me at the bottom. First off a very big thank you to my good friend Scribbles for taking the time out to pre-read this. She's the one who gives it a stamp of approval. Couldn't do it without ya! ;-)
Oh yeah... I DID eat your salsa...
Second: THANK YOUS! Boy I've got a lot...here goes.
Killersabinx: You're reviews mean so much to me. You've been there since the beginning along with a few other people. I tried to touch a bit on Spot and Kid's relationship. It will be developed and followed a lot more in Part Two. Also as for grammer...heh heh...you found my weak point. I suck at grammar. I try my best, but usually it's still messed up anyway. I try and put in commas and what not ...but oh well. Don't hold it against me. I'm a grammar dud. I ADMIT IT! =(
I'm glad you loved Chapter 26. That comment made me jump up and down like a dummy. Only because I've strived so hard to make this story believable and apart from the "oh-I-love-you-after-two-chapters" type stories. I really like to develope characters first. Makes reading more enjoyable because you start to develope a NEED to know if they get together! Like Tenchi and Ryoko and Mulder and Scully!! XD
Okay I'll stop...Well thank you so much. Again, you never answered if you'd like a cameo in part two. =)
Oh yeah think you could give me the link to "Never Let You Fall"? Thanks :D
Neo Genesis ~ I'm glad you liked the pranks. I was very hyper when I thought of that...but I was kinda proud of the that joke. Anyway thanks so much for the review! I hope you keep reading now that they've shared a smooch! ;D
AngelicOne~ LOL! Wow! I guess you're happy they kissed huh? As for being second in line for a kiss...well don't worry. You'll get your kiss. As I said, I'm giving you and LittleWashu and Killersabinx cameos (If you want them) in part two cause you were the only three who reviewed chapter 24 (the Butters and gang one). That meant a lot to me. =)
I'm thinking...maybe Christmas you can get in a smoochy? Hmm? There's always mistletoe! Heh heh heh...
Thanks again Angelic. You rock endlessly!!!!! *BIG BIG hug* =D
Robyn: Well they kissed! Finally, huh? I'm glad you love the story. Keep reading! I promise to make it interesting. I probably will write one more newsies story after "Just to Love" trilogy is totally done. I want to write one about Spot before he was newsie. I've been itching to do that!! Most likely on that story I'll have reviewers make appearances =)
Amazing-moth: First...I love your pen name! *_*
Secondly THANK YOU FOR YOUR REVIEW!! ahaha! :D
Made my day. I started reading your story but this weekend has left me short on time. So when I finish it I am definetly leaving some reviews :D
Keep reading and thank you so much for calling my story beautiful...*teary eyed* I feel special... =.)
Rede: I'm glad you're still reading. LOL...sorry I left you breathless...is that a good or bad thing? =)
Thanks again for reviewing! =D
Singah: Well they kissed!! Your wish came true. Now you have to wait to see what's next. Alas...it won't stay peaches and cream... =(
Thanks for your review as well and I'm glad you like the story! :D
Rae Kelly: Yeah no kidding huh? LOL =)
Sorry to make you wait such a long time.
Haley: Thanks for your review. I'm glad you like the chapter and I hope you keep reading! =)
Rabbit: I can garauntee that what happens AFTER that little kiss will be very interesting. Thank you so much for the review! :D
Princessred: Woohoo! You're back! Yes everything is going swimmingly...I'm glad you like the name Devlin. It's Irish and I thought it fit Spot well. Anyway as always thank you so so so much!

Chapter 27 ~ Trouble is Brewing
A month has passed.
The showers that had plagued the lives of the Brooklyn newsies were no more. Everything seemed to be back to normal.
Almost everything.
Things had become very interesting between Spot and Reina. Their relationship had been awkward at first.
At first Spot and Reina wouldn't dare to look at each other. This really hadn't upset Reina. She felt perfectly fine with it, mainly because she, herself, was unsure of really how to act. She would have felt a bit guilty, had Spot just been all her over, because she wouldn't have known how to return the feelings. Everything seemed so new...
Later, as time went on, occasionally she would give small, slight glances towards Spot's general direction. She found him eventually returning them as well.
Late at night she would join him on the docks. Sometimes they'd just talk about little stuff. Like the kind of people they had run into while selling papes or other newsies. Sometimes Spot would tell her of the time when the Newsies went on strike against Pulitzer. When he told this story, his eyes would light up. Especially at the part where described how he "saved" the Manhattan newsies from getting soaked. He would get so into the story, that Reina could actually see the scene replayed in her mind. Then, hours would pass like minutes.
Then again, other times they would just sit together and look at the stars or maybe look at the moon's reflection drifting silently on the water of the Brooklyn River.
In all truth, Reina had never really felt this way about anyone. She certainly hadn't been raised in a "loving" environment, so a big part of her had no idea how to act or what her role was. However, she did know that somewhere along the line her feelings had changed. Especially towards Spot.
It was night and as usual Reina and Spot were together. They were at "their spot" (As Reina liked to think of it). A small area near the end of the docks. Two pillars were there, close to one another. That's where Spot and Reina would be. Right now, neither really said anything. Anyone passing would've thought they were just friends. Reina and Spot didn't really get all lovey-huggy. It just wasn't like that. The only sign that betrayed that they were involved, was Spot's hand gently clasping Reina's.
There had been a long silence before Reina finally spoke up. "Spot...uh..."
He said nothing. Nor did he look at her to acknowledge her words.
Reina continued, but very gently. "...What exactly happened to your family?"
Every time they would talk, Spot seemed to avoid all mention of the past. She had known that his parents were killed, but she had no idea how. She also had no idea of other things, such as how Spot became leader or about his friendship with Kid. She'd heard stories of course, but seriously doubted if any of them were true.
"I told yous...dey were killed" Spot said, his face showing no spark of emotion at all. Reina bit her lip. She wanted to ask how, but something told her to not proceed. An instinct inside told her that if she asked any further she'd be treading on forbidden territory.
But then again she was always a rule breaker...
"How did they die?"
Spot finally looked over at her, quite intensely. "Why does it mattah?"
Reina studied him, but in all truth, she had no answer to that. What DID it matter? It was HIS past, and if he had buried it, then that was that. Spot looked back out to the water once more. "Drop it, Kitty..." Spot warned.
Reina sighed and went back to staring at the waterfront. She wanted to argue but, she really had no side to argue ABOUT. She knew she would've acted the same way, had Spot asked about her family life.
She really couldn't blame him.
***
Reina was up bright and early the next day. For some reason or another, she had found it damn near impossible to get any sleep the previous night. Something had been bugging her all night. The thing that bothered her more is that she couldn't place her finger on the thing that was bothering her.
It made her very confused.
She did know that she had a feeling. A bad one. It sat aching in her bones and then it drifted throughout her whole body. Something didn't feel right. It was a perfectly normal morning. Newsies were getting up, crusty eyed and still yawning, preparing for a day of work.
Reina glanced to Spot's bed. Of course he wasn't there. She had noticed, since the night they had shared the same bed, that Spot usually rose earlier than anyone else in the lodging house. Where he went to, she didn't know.
Reina walked lazily over to the window. The sun was just up. If she had awoken perhaps maybe an hour before, she could've seen the sun rise.
The feeling came back.
Reina shuddered faintly and made an annoyed face. "What the hell is wrong with me?" she thought bitterly. "It's a nice day and perfectly normal...nothing even LOOKS wrong..."
Reina pushed aside her feelings and mental babbling. She hated thinking too much. If she got caught up in thinking about what could be or might be, she'd become depressed. Usually, in her opinion, nothing that COULD be, ever turned out good.
She walked to a small pitcher and water bowl, that had already been used partially by some of the other boys. It was set on a small wood dresser with a fairly small mirror. Reina grabbed a wet rag and wrung it out, then poured some of the water from the pitcher on it. She scrubbed her face, which helped to wake her up, then her hands. She observed herself in the mirror as she dried off.
She looked like hell. Dark spots were under eyes, which told everyone that she hadn't slept well. Reina shook her head, denying the feeling which was creeping back into her mind. "...Don't think about it...everything will be fine..." she muttered, very softly.
She looked up at her sullen reflection. "If everything is going to be 'fine' then why are you still worrying?" he mind chided.
***
Reina was late to leave the lodging house. Most of the other boys had already left and were at their posts for the day. Reina was just adjusting her cap before she'd be off. She had stopped bothering with putting her hair up and under the cap. She found that she actually sold more papers when she looked like herself. The women especially seemed to enjoy buying papers from her. Occasionally a few would talk to her. Reina suspected it made certain women feel empowered when they saw an another woman working in a mostly male profession.
Then again, a lot of guys bought papers from her because she was a "lookah." Reina tended to just flash the guys a shy, yet knowing smile to keep them happy. They seemed to like it.
Reina stepped out into the hallway to leave, only to see two figures already occupying the space.
"I'se knows what's goin' on! Do yous tink I'se is stupid?!"
"Get yer hands off me..."
"Lemme tell you one TING Spot...Yous hated dat goil and now suddenly yous is fixated on hoir!"
Spot pushed Kid back harshly. "Foist of all...I'se AIN'T fixated on hoir...secondly...yous just seem a little jealous Kid..." Spot suddenly adopted a very cruel and dark smirk. "What's da mattah? Does it boddah yous if she WAS me goil?"
Reina had stepped back into the doorway and was listening intently. Her heart had a momentary jump at Spot's words. Had he just called her "HIS girl"?
Kid glared daggers. His fists were balled up and shaking. It was obvious he was trying hard to NOT hit Spot. "I'se...DON'T ...CARE!" Kid shouted, losing his temper by the minute.
"Den what da hell is yous problem!?!" Spot shouted, louder. Kid shot Spot a death look and advanced on him. "Yous really slackin' DAT much?"
"What do yous mean?"
Kid shot Spot a look of disgust. "...Woids out all over dat Staten Island is risin' up"
"So?-"
Kid sharply cut him off. "Against Brooklyn Spot"
Spot seemed to let this information sink in before looking at Kid directly and responding. "Why now? Staten Islands a mess and yous hardly hear anyting from newsies over dere. What do dey got 'gainst Brooklyn?"
"Word is...dat someone's backing dem. Dat dey's is sick and tired of being at da bottom of the news chain..."
Spot smirked and raised his eyebrows. "Why yous worryin'? It's Staten! Dey's ain't a threat!"
Kid suddenly advanced on Spot and grabbed him by his collar. "Are yous DEAF!? I'se said someone is BACKIN' dem! Meaning we'se don't know da extent of dey're powah..." Kid backed off for a moment and became very quiet.
Spot eyed him with an intense probing look. "...What else ain't yous tellin' me?"
"...If dey take over Brooklyn-"
"DEY WON'T!" Spot roared. Kid shot him a look and continued. "If dey take over Brooklyn...do yous tink dey'll stop dere?" This time it was Spot's turn to advance on Kid. Spot was not stupid. He could see when information was being withheld from him. "I axed yous...what else is yous holding back?"
Kid swallowed hard like he didn't want to say it. "...We'se got a traitor in our bunch..."
Reina listened more strained then ever now, as the two boys voices became very hushed.
"How do yous know?" Spot asked, very suspiciously. Kid licked his lips as if his throat had gone totally dry. "...Tink about it. Yous told me someone ratted out yous plan 'bout sending Reina away" Spot looked away at the mention of his past dirty deed. Kid eyed him but continued "...and why would Staten automatically pick Brooklyn? Why not Manhattan or da Bronx?"
Spot said nothing. Everything Kid said seemed to make perfect sense. It was like the puzzle pieces fit into place, no matter how much Spot didn't want them to. Spot swallowed then gave Kid a serious look. "...A lot is ridin' on dis..." Kid said, hushed still.
Spot nodded. "Den we'se got a traitor ta find..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
End note: I know Staten Island was around the time of the newsies. What I DON'T know is that if the bridge built that connected Staten and Brooklyn together, was built around that time. So...if I have any inaccuracies, please forgive me. Also...before you guys groan and go "Not ANOTHER newsies-territory-gang rival...!" I will share with you right now, that that is only a very small portion of the problem. It really isn't what you think. Also, I said I'd make this story daily but it will be hard for just this weekend. I work Saturday and Sunday and it's my LAST WEEK OF WORK! WOOHOO! Er...um...*coughs* so what I mean to say is don't be too mad at me if Chapter 28 doesn't get posted until Monday. I PROMISE it will be up Monday if not sooner.
Heehee...now that I've left you with a cliffhanger, I have to go hide so no one can find me, hunt me down and kill me! Buh bye!! ^,^
