As they walked back to the Lodging house the met up with Racetrack.
"Hey, Race." Katie smiled.
"Hey, Tee," he smiled back and looked at Mush and nodded. "Mush."
Mush simply nodded back.
They walked into the Lodging house and up the stairs, where they found Jack, David and Skittery.
"Hey Guys, Have you guys meet Blink's sister yet?" Mush smiled.
"I don't think I have." Jack smiled at her and jumped off the bunk he was sitting on. He held out his hand to her. "I'm Jack."
"I'm Single!" yelled Skittery.
Katie laughed as she took Jacks hand and shook.
"This is David, and Skittery." Jack said introducing the two boys.
"So your Blink's sister." David said looking at Blink who was walking up the stairs. "I didn't know he had a sister."
"I did." Said Skittery. "Blink told me about ya when he first came here." He nodded at Katie. "Her names Katie, right?"
"Yup." Said Mush smiling.
Skittery looked at Mush, "You always get the goils, Mush."
"He's lucky he got this one." Blink said staring at Mush.
Jack laughed, "I bet."
"Hey, Katie, wanna go to the tracks wit me tomorrow?" Race asked.
"Um.. sure." She smiled then looked at Mush.
"Well, I better get home." Said David. "Wanna come over for a bit, Jack? It's Sarah's birthday and she wanted me to ask you."
"alright." He said instantly. Jack grabbed his hat off of his bed and they walk out of the door.
It was about eleven o'clock before Racetrack, and Mush who decided to share a bed instead of sleeping on the floor, heard Jack come back in.
"Hey, Jack. Have a nice night last night?" Race smiled.
"It was okay." He answered.
"So, whatcha do?" asked Mush.
"Talked mostly. And left early..." He answered.
"But not without a little dessert?" asked Mush.
"A little ice cream, maybe." Said Race.
"Of course I had ice cream, guys, I had birthday cake too. It was Sarah's birthday." Said Jack.
"Oh.. right.." said Mush.
Race laughed. "Of course it was Sarah's birthday!"
"Um.. it was.. David said so before we left guys." Said Jack.
"Oh ya!" Mush and Race said together.
"Will you three shut up!" Blink yelled from his bed.
"No.. I don't think so.." said Mush.
"Do you have any Idea what time it is?" Blink asked.
"Nope, Do you?" Race asked.
"Just shut up and go to bed!" Blink laid down on his bed.
Jack walked over to his bed and went to sleep.
Race looked at Mush, "What got into his oatmeal?"
Mush glared at Race, "My name isn't Oatmeal!"
"I know it's not, Mush.." Race looked at him funny. "Why would it be?"
"I don't know!" Mush put his face into his pillow. "I'm so confused."
"That's not a first." Race laughed.
"What?" Mush looked at Race.
"Go to sleep Mush." Race said pulling the blanket off of Mush and onto him. Mush didn't mind much; he didn't find it that cold anyway.
Race woke early the next morning with a foot in his face. "Mush! Wake up! Your foot is in my face!" He moved Mush's foot out of his face throwing Mush half way off the bed.
"I'm awake! I'm awake!" he screamed as he fell the rest of the way off the bed.
"Good." Race glared at Mush.
"What are you mad at me to now?" Mush asked frustrated.
"No, I just don't want your foot in my face!" Race said.
"Jack, wake up!" Race yelled.
"What is it Race?" Jack groaned.
"Can I have my cards back now?" Race said, Jack had taken his cards the day before because he was cheating at his own game.
"Not unless ya say ya won' make up games and cheat at dem in the same day!" Jack said getting up.
"I won't!" Race lied. "Can I have dem back now?" Jack looked at him then handed him the cards. "Thank you." Race smiled.
Mush walked over to his bed, which had Katie in it. "Hey, Tee. Time ta wake up." He smiled as she rubbed her eyes.
"Mush, It's earlier then it was yesterday." She said trying to keep from lying back down.
"Ya, well, you're going with Race today, he likes to get there early." He kissed her.
"Okay." She pulled herself out of bed. Racetrack walked over to them.
"Hi, ya ready ta go?" he asked smiling.
"Ya." She smiled back.
Mush smiled at her, "Have fun."
"I will.." she hugged him, "Don't get into any fights!"
Mush laughed, "I won't."
"And if ya do, ya better win." Racetrack patted him on the back.
Mush walked over to Blink forgetting he was mad at him. "Blink, where ya wanna go today?"
"I don't care, Mush. You choose." Blink said pushing himself up.
"Why don't we go somewhere new. Somewhere away from then harbor." Mush said thinking of what happened the day before.
"Why don't you two come with us." Said Race; "There's always room at the tracks."
"That's cause he never sells anything at the tracks." Blink whispered to Mush.
Mush laughed, "I'll come, what about you Blink, you wanna come?"
"Sure I'll come." He said pulling on his hat.
The four of them walked out of the Lodging house and to the tracks.
Mush had his arm around Katie; next to them stood Blink and a few feet in front of them stood. They got to the racetracks, Race went over to the betting station to make a bet, and the rest of them started to walk around. When Race got back they sat down to take a break.
The man behind them started sniffing; in a matter of seconds everyone else was sniffing as well. "What's that smell?" the man said.
"Racetrack!!" Everyone at the yelled out.
"It wasn't me!" Race said.
"No! It was me!" yelled Mush.
(A/N D2 moment again I gotta stop watchin' this show!)
Blink looked at Mush, "No! It was me!"
"No! ME!" yelled Mush.
"I've never seen two guys fight over something like that." Katie said to Race.
Race looked at her and smiled, "It was me.."
They both laughed as Mush and Blink we still arguing.
"Hey, Race." Katie smiled.
"Hey, Tee," he smiled back and looked at Mush and nodded. "Mush."
Mush simply nodded back.
They walked into the Lodging house and up the stairs, where they found Jack, David and Skittery.
