CH 5 **Blink, Mush, and Ali**
"So ya were adopted n lived a good life." Was all Blink could say after hearing about Ali's life. 'She sure has the life. Why would she want us back in it?'
Ali nodded, "I guess so but I always felt like something was missing." She looked around at the room and suddenly felt trapped. 'They had such heartbreaking stories to tell me and mine was so...perfect.'
Mush smiled at her "I'm glad dat yer back, Ali, but we'se spent 4 hours in heah n Spot might want his room back now."
Everyone smiled as they heard a knock at the door. The door was opened and Jack poked his head inside "Ya ready ta go boys? Ya can see Ali at Tibby's if she wants ta come."
Ali smiled and jumped up off the bed showing her joy at being included "Of course I want to. I'll see everyone at 4." She quickly walked past Jack and the others and into the lobby where she saw Angel sitting with Spot. She walked right over to them and spoke to Angel "Hey Angel do you want to come back to my house? I could really use a friend to talk to right now. We can meet everyone at Tibby's later when we are done."
Angel looked at Spot and replied "Absolutely!'
Ali nodded to Spot giving him warning to look nice that night and Spot understood. He watched at the two girls left the Lodging House talking as if they were lifelong friends. 'Now to find a suit.' He thought to himself as he looked around at his boys. Suddenly he remembered how Cody, the man who ran the lodging house, had said he kept a couple suits around in case the boys ever needed one. He walked towards Cody's room.
"Heya, Cody. Can ya come heah fer a minute?"
"Yea Conlon wat ya need?" he said poking around the corner of his room.
"I need ta ask ya fer a favah." He saw the amusement on the old man's face and just continued. "I need ta know if ya have a suit I can borrow."
The old man smiled. "Ya must really like dis goil if ya are dressin up fer her."
Spot thought about Angel and then nodded. "Yea Cody I do."
Cody looked at Spot. "Yea I should have a suit ta fit ya. Come in heah and let's find out."
Spot suddenly sounded a little nervous. "Do ya happen ta know of a place wheah we can go eat. Somewheah real nice?"
"Well, boy, as a mattah a fact I'se do. It's a nice open café right off 22nd street. It's a very nice place ta eat. I'll go down dere n get ya two a table meself since I'se goin down dere anyway." Cody turned out of the closet and handed Spot a suit. "That should fit ya perfectly." He then turned to leave the room.
"Cody." Spot called out after the old man.
"Yea Conlon."
"Thanks."
The old man smiled "Anytime boy anytime." And then he turned and left the lodging house leaving a very nervous Spot with suit in hand and many thoughts running through his head.
**Ali's House**Angel and Ali** ~3pm~
Angel looked at herself in the mirror. 'Is that really me?' she wondered looking at the strange reflection she was seeing. She saw a girl that seemed to be her but over her newsie clothes, she had nowhere else to put them, she was wearing a light blue dress that brought out her eyes. Ali had not only talked to her she had actually talked her into dressing up to go out with Spot. 'I hope Spot got the hint to dress up.' She looked at the necklace she was wearing and stared at her face as she saw the makeup that she had let Ali put on her. 'I can not believe I'm doing this. Yet I do feel pretty.' Angel began to hum and then sang out loud.
"I feel pretty, Oh, so pretty, I feel pretty and witty and bright, And I pity Any girl who isn't me tonight. I feel charming, Oh, so charming It's alarming how charming I feel, And so pretty That I hardly can believe I'm real. See the pretty girl in that mirror there: Who can that attractive girl be? Such a pretty face, Such pretty dress, Such a pretty smile. Such s pretty me! I feel stunning And entrancing. Feel like running and dancing for joy. For I'm loved By a pretty wonderful boy!"
By the end of the song she was dancing around the room and was lost in her own thoughts but the sound of clapping brought her out of it. She turned and saw Ali standing there.
"I didn't know you could sing." Ali said in amazement.
"I usually don't when I know someone can hear me." She said blushing at the fact Ali had heard her and had seen her dancing around.
"Why not? You're really good." Ali said and she was still in shock over hearing Angel's beautiful voice.
"Oh shut yer mouth already and let's go before I change my mind bout this dress." Angel said rolling her eyes.
Ali laughed and decided to leave before it got any later. They walked out the front door and said goodbye to Ali's adoptive parents and left talking the entire trip to Tibby's.
