Bookie and Race snuck down to the docks. Glancing around carefully, she planned their escape.
"Uh, I'se don't mean ta interrupt yer thinking but why are We'se at da docks. We'se got some room at the LH." Race whispered.
"No, that's not far enough. Listen, because I'm with you, There are some people who want me gone."
'I'll protect ya, Jack'll get the boys too. Hell, we'll go ta Brooklyn if we gotta"
"Race, that's not far enough. And these people, they enjoy killing. It will just get more newsies killed. Please just trust me" Bookie pleaded.
"Ok" Race agreed.
"Come on, it's our boat" Bookie grabbed his hand and they ran down to the edge of the pier. A sailboat was left unattended. Untying it, Bookie and Race hopped on. She quickly put up the sail and pushed off from the docks.
"Here we go" She said sitting down.
"Dats it! Ya just push and let us float. Where we'se going? What if deres a storm?" Race looked frantically at the clear night sky.
"it doesn't matter. We'll be together. Isn't that what you always you to say? That every time we were together the world just fell away. It'll be like that again. I Promise. "She grabbed a blanket and threw it down on the seat. She sat down and motioned for Race to sit too. He did and they snuggled together and drifted off to sleep.
Meanwhile, Aura could barely sleep. She was so excited. She was going on a date with Spike. What should I wear? She thought. If I dress up will he hate that? But is it improper to come in my usual clothes? Should I be proper? Should I act like myself? Aura had a ton of questions. She wished Stress and BonBon were back from whatever they were doing. She needed answers to these questions. Downstairs, she heard a door slam. She almost shrieked in excitement. She raced downstairs.
Aura was met with 5 solemn faces. 4 of which she knew. There was an older proper looking man there too.
"Hey guys. Wheres Pisky? What happened? Tell me everything. But hurry up cause I have a wonderful story for you." Aura headed into the kitchen and sat down. Slowly, the rest wandered in.
"Aura, Pisky was kidnapped by vampires. They made her a vampire too. Spins a vampire slayer. This is Randy, her watcher." Stress said as she sank down into a chair, exhausted.
"wha-what?" Aura was shocked. That was not the tale she expected. "Vampires? Ok I could possibly understand that but Slayers and watchers and Wheres Pisky?"
"Shes gone Aura, they took her. Gypsy helped her escape" Jack put in
"I thought you said Gypsy was dead"
"She's a vampire too. Pisky is one now. Shes evil now. Spike and Drusilla made her a vampire. Listen, if she tries to contact you, tell us." Randy said.
"fine" Aura mumbled, her excitement shattered.
"Don't worry about it. We're workin on a plan" BonBon added. "and I'm doin magic so its shouldn't take that long"
"You obviously have a lot to learn about magic" Randy added dryly. BonBon frowned at him.
"but um, hey whats your exciting news?" Stress asked, trying to be cheerful.
"I, um, its nothing. Just that I sold a lot of papes today" Aura lied.
They congratulated her and decided it would be good to get some sleep. Randy left everyone his address so they could reach him and said he'd be back bright and early to start training them.
Up in girl bunkroom, BonBon sniffed the air.
"Aura, were you smoking here tonight?"
"uh, I, no, nope, not at all" Aura stuttered.
"it smells like smoke in here" BonBon commented.
Oh shit! Aura though. Spike. They're gonna know he was here.
"Oh well, the smell must of stayed on my clothes from when I exploded my banana. G'night." BonBon crawled into her bunk and buried herself under the covers.
"G'night" chorused the rest of the room.
