Racetrack was wandering around Manhattan selling his papes when he ran into Mush. "Heya Mush! How's it rollin'?"
Mush joined Race and they walked down toward Central Park. "Heya Race. How's yer sellin' been tahday?"
"Eh, same as always. We really need tah git some bettah headlines." turning to face a woman walking toward him, "Hey, care fer a pape, lady?" He collected on his sale and continued to talk to Mush. "How's dat dame ah yers anyways, I ain't seen 'er around lately."
"Oh, Lindsay. Yeah lately 'er aunt has been keepin' a close eye on 'er, so she's had trouble sneakin' out tah see me. I'm gonna drop by tah night and see if I can talk tah 'er."
Race's mind had begun to wander back to the girl he had met earlier and was not paying complete attention to what Mush was saying. "Oh, well lemme know how it goes." he waved and started to head off, "See ya latah, Mush."

Spot snuck up behind an unsuspecting victim and threw his arm around her neck. In his hand was the bunch of flowers he has stolen for his love. Tachinya had gasped in surprise and joy at the sight of the daisies and had rotated to face Spot and throw her arms around his neck. "Oh Spot! Dere beautiful!"
"Happy annivoisary." Spot said smiling. He kissed her and they began walking down toward Newsies Square. "So, I'se thinkin' we could go out tahnight. I wanna take ya somewhere spechal."
"Oh! Really? Where?" Tachinya said eagerly.
"It's a suhprise. You'll find out tahnight. I'll pick ya up from McCain's at seven, okay?"
"Okay!" Tachinya said smelling her flowers and grinning like a fiend.

Spot kissed her on the cheek, "I's gotta get back tah Brooklyn." and then he was gone.
Tachinya sat down on a bench in the square and swooned over her incredibly romantic boyfriend.
"Where'd ya git dah flowahs?"
Tachinya turned to see Blind Dymond standing above her, "Oh, Spot gave them to me. Today's our anniversary." once again, beaming fiendishly.
"Aww dat was sweet. Hey, where's Momoe?"
Tachinya looks up, slightly alarmed. "Oh no! Who knows what he's up to!" standing and turning toward the crowd, "MOMOE!" She called for him several times and eventually a twitching monkey came scampering through the crowd and onto the bench. "Danget Momoe, stop running off!" the small creature bit her arm. "Momoe!" She smacked Momoe on the neck. Turning back to Blind Dymond, "Hey, Spot's taking me somewhere tonight. Do you think you could watch Momoe for me?"
Blind Dymond sighed, "I guess Blink just wants me tah go out wit him and Damon and David. Man I can't stand dose guys and dere singin'."
"Thanks, Blind Dymond you're a real pal. Come on Momoe, looks like there's an opening on Houston. Where's your music box?" She walked away from Blind Dymond
"Squeak, squeak squeaker squeakem squeak." the monkey squeaked.
"What! You lost the music box!" Tachinya screamed, "Go find it you rabid fool!" and she kicked the monkey out into the crowd.
