Chapter 22

"Kid, you thawt up any ideas yet?"

"Yeah…well, no…"

Sunny sighed. It had been two days since she had asked Blink to help her earn money for Spot so that he could buy Bristles' present, and besides selling papes, they hadn't found any other idea to get money. Right now they were in the bunkroom, and time was running fast.

"It's ok, but couldja pace it up a bit? Wese got less and less time til Bristles' boithday's comin up, and I really wanna make shoah dat Spot's able ta get dat paint set."

"Yeah, ok, but I was wonderin, how much does dis paint set cawst anyway?"

"Well, I went ta da shop where it was, and I'd say…ten bucks."

"What?!" Blink yelled. "Ten bucks? We ain't got no money like dat! We'd nevah earn dat paint set even wit Spot's money!"

"Yeah? So whatcha gonna do? Just keep on complainin? Look, you've got two choices. Help me get da money, da paint set, and da love between Spot and Bristles back, or end up wit nothing at all but two of youah friends dat'll nevah have da same hearts again. You choose."

"Could da difference of a paint set do awl a dat?"

"Yes." Sunny's voice sounded firm and steady. She sounded so determined, that even Kid Blink was taken aback. He couldn't back down, and she wouldn't let him. He was just about to answer, when suddenly Kloppman called from downstairs. Sunny and Blink looked at each other, then both raced down the stairs.

"Who is it, Kloppman?"

"Some man, says his name's Strutley…he's lookin for a Katarina."
