Shock and Disbelief
Chapter 4 : Random Bits
"You do realize I have no idea how to play poker don't you?" Kate said to Spot as he snuck her downstairs. It was late at night and the only light on was a small electric latern Sarah had found in the garage.
"I'll show ya how," Spot said. "Ya'll do great." They sat down on the blanket that had been spread on the ground. Beth, Turtle, Sarah, Racetrack, Blink, and David were already there. Racetrack dealt out the cards leaving out Kate and Turtle, who didn't know what to do. Turtle looked over David's shoulder and pursed her lips together not knowing whether the hand was any good or not.
Beth had gotten poker chips from somewhere and turned out to be a good player. David was the worst, but Spot said it was because he just got started playing a few weeks ago. Racetrack was easily the best but Spot and Sarah were close seconds.
Kate, who was very much a morning person, drifted slowly into sleep.

When Kate woke up the next morning, she was surprised to find herself still in the basement. She sat up and looked around the room in the early morning light. She realized that the thing under her head hadn't been a pillow but Spot instead. Sarah was snoring softly on one of the couches with Bethany sprawled out on the other. Blink was curled up in the corner smiling in his sleep. She could hear Racetrack muttering to himself in the bathroom.
She stood up and moved toward the window. As she opened the curtains, she heard Spot wake up behind her.
"How'd ya sleep?" he asked her.
"Very well under the circumstances."
"Whatcha lookin' fahr?"
"Have you seen David and Turtle?" Spot shook his head. Kate sighed. "They probably went for a walk or something." She put the curtains back.
"Should we git up?" asked Spot. Kate nodded. She woke Sarah and Bethany and headed upstairs.

At ten o'clock, the group was standing outside the library waiting for it to open. Turtle had decided it was the best place to look for information on time travel. A half-hour later, Kate and Spot were looking up WebPages on one of the computers.
"This looks good," Kate said. She jotted down some of the stuff down.
"Kate?"
"What?" Kate turned to look at Spot.
"Yah awfully strange fahr a skirt," he said.
"We don't call girls skirts anymore, Spot." She turned back to the computer.
"Let me finish," Spot turned her to look at him, "Ya nicah than most skirts. I like that 'bout ya."
"Thanks," Kate smiled. "Hey, Spot, Do you know how to dance?"
------------------------------------~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~--------------------------------------------
It took two guys (Chris and Josh) and four hours to teach the newsies how to dance well… or at least as well as the average white guy.

"Spot, do you think that David and Liz… well… you know," Kate said later.
"Ise don' know David well enough ta know."
"Do you guys think that they…" blink asked.
"No," Kate said abruptly, "Just no. Why would you even think that?"
"Well, I knows that David got his high morals and stuff, but his is a guy. Dey could 'ave. While we was all sleepin'."
"No."
"Shuddup," Spot punched in the arm. Blink rubbed his arm in pain but didn't say anything after that.
A/N: Btw, Nothing Happened! Just thought you should know. Also Ya'll is different from Y'all. Yes, it is. I've started writing a sequel. I haven't even finished writing this yet. I'm such a dork. R/R. I think I'm off on numbering my chapters. I'd fix it but I'm too lazy.
