"Ise sorry Smudge, Ise really am sorry, can't ya fergive me?" Jade woke to
the sounds of sorrowful whispers in her ear. "You'se gots ta fergive me."
Jade opened her eyes and looked at Blink. "Well, if it means dat much to ya, then Ise think dat Ise can arrange that." At the sound of her voice Blink's head came up, and his mouth dropped open. "Shut yer mouth 'fore a fly flies in." Blink shut his mouth and smiled a crooked smile.
"Thanks Jade." Jade smiled weakly, and then closed her eyes again.
"So, this Spot person. he 'ave a last name?" she managed to whisper.
"Yeah, but I dunno if it's real er not. He calls 'imself Spot Conlon." When she heard the name Conlon, her heart skipped a beat, her eyes flew open, and she gasped. "Whats da mattah Smudge? Are youse okay?" the worry in Blink's voice was evident.
Conlon! She thought, but he can' be! No that's not him, that's not him. if it were him. "No it ain't him." She concluded out loud.
"Ain't who, Smudge?" Jade looked at Blink in surprise, she hadn't meant to say it out loud.
"Nuthin'." she whispered, "nuthin'."
"Come on! Who're ya talkin' about?" Blink persisted, but Jade just closed her eyes and pretended as though she hadn't heard him. "Gosh darn it girl! Sometimes ya aggravate me sooooo much! What da heck is wrong wit' youse?!"
"How cin Ise already be aggravatin' ya when Ise only been heah 'bout three days?" Jade asked in a fake, sweet, innocent voice. Blink just stared at Jade and growled. "It must be a gift." Jade concluded. Blink said nothing and for a long time there was complete silence.
"Uuummm." Blink started in a small voice, "Jack. he, well he's sending ya ta Brooklyn aftah youse git bettah." At the word Brooklyn Jades eyes flew open, and she gasped.
"Brooklyn! Ise not gonna go any wheah near dat big head Spot." her words trailed off, "Conlon."she whispered.

"Jack I am not going to Brooklyn!!! There's no room for me there anyways, his ego fills all of Brooklyn!" Jack shook his head at Smudge, and glared at Blink. Why couldn't he have told her when she was a little bit bettah?
"Look Smudge, youse aint in da best health right now. Ya need ta calm down, 'sides ya won't be goin' fer at least a week yet." Jade glared at Jack, if looks could kill hers would've. "Look Smudge, Ise sorry but it's da only way fer ya ta loin how ta fight!"
Seeing as here glare wasn't going to work, Jade decided it was time for tears and pity. "But Jack," she whined, "why can't youse teach me?" A single tear traced its way down Jade's cheek, and Blink reached down to brush it away, but Jack grabbed him and shook his head.
"Blink, she's a faker, she's goin' ta Brooklyn an' dats dat." Then dragging Blink behind him he stalked out of the room.
