Disclaimer: I don't own the newsies, though I wish I did cause maybe my life would be a little bit better. I don't own Angelfish. She owns herself. I do own Kate, Bookworm, Reticent, Arts, Grace, James, Joy, Elizabeth, Daniel, and Jack (not Jack Kelly). On to the last chapter.

AN: I hope you all enjoyed the last chapter. I would like to explain why I choose some of the dates and how long Spot and Kate were married. The first date is August 17th, that's my birthday. The next date is August 3rd, that's my brother's birthday and it's all his fault. I had Spot and Kate be married for 59 years because that's how many years my grandparents were married and I thought it would be a little tribute to them. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the story. I want to thank Angelfish for being in my story. I'm sorry you had such a small part. I want to thank my friend Liz for helping me out of writers block so many times and also to my other friend Katie for letting me use one of her poems and being in my story. I wanna thank all the people who reviewed my story and to the ones who read the story but didn't review. I'm sad that this is the last chapter but I hope to write another story. Until then Goodbye.
