**MIDTOWN LH**
Cards stood in front of the mirror singing a song that she had seen in a show once:
"Some people tell me, that you're not my kind And I believe them, but I can't get you out of my mind Some people tell me that I should stay away Maybe I will... some other day
I don't wanna do right, I just want you tonight Not just only in my dreams Save my best behavior, for a little later 'Cause I'm only 17 Think I made my mind up, I got time to grow up Face responsibility Livin' in the moment, keepin' my heart open While I'm only 17
I'll learn my lessons, and I'll make mistakes And If I get burned, it'll be my heart to break It isn't easy, hearing what they say Sometimes you've got to take a leap of faith
Anyone, who's ever been in love Has got to know What it means to have a dream And no one can say anything To change my mind, no, not this time
I don't wanna do right, I just want you tonight Not just only in my dreams Save my best behavior, for a little later 'Cause I'm only 17 Think I made my mind up, I got time to grow up Face responsibility Livin' in the moment, keepin' my heart open While I'm only 17"
She finished her song and looked at herself one last time before turning to leave the washroom. She walked into the bunkroom and saw Lindsay. "Oh my god is dat ya Cards?"
"Aww shut up Lindsay." Cards said shrugging off the shocked look on the girl's face.
"Yer wearin a dress! Where'd ya get it?"
"I bought it." Cards said amused at the girl's expression.
"Ya bought a dress! How? No scratch dat WHY!?!?" Lindsay couldn't believe that she saw her tough leader dressed in an off white dress with gold flowers printed on it. It just didn't make sense to her.
"I wanted ta look nice tahnight." Cards said smoothing down her curls in front. She had tamed them with a new comb and she had put her mother's locket on for the special night. 'No it's not special. It's just a night out to Tibby's.' she mentally kicked herself for getting so dressed up and for thinking this was a date.
"Is dere a special someone ya wanna look good fer tahnight Cards?" asked Lindsay smiling at her.
Cards shook her head. "No." 'You liar you know you did this because you are going with Race.' She let out a loud sigh as she sat onto the bed. "Well, maybe."
Lindsay's face lit up. "Race?"
Cards looked at the girl shocked. "How'd ya know?"
Lindsay just smiled. "It's kinda obvious ta yer best friends."
Cards nodded thinking of how Spot had seemed to know when she had made that comment about Race's height. 'I don't like being so readable though.'
Lindsay excused herself from the room and left Cards to think of other reasons she was a dressed up but the only reason she could think of was the fact that Race was picking her up. 'Damn girl you fell for one of your best friends. Hope he feels the same.' Was all she could think as she walked back to the washroom to make any last minute touches.

"Race will ya stop pacin n calm down it's jest Tibby's." Blink said slightly annoyed and yet very amused at the nervousness of his friend.
Race turned to look at him with a worried expression. "Fer ya it might be jest Tibby's but fer me I don't know if I'se gonna go dere."
"Ya sayin dat ya got a date somewheah else n ya didn't tell us." Asked Blink curiously. Race pulled on the jacket of the suit he was borrowing from Kloppman's closet. "I don't know. Maybe. Not sure it's a date. Not sure she wants it ta be."
"If yer talkin bout Cards it's a date." Said a voice from the door. Everyone turned and saw Spot dressed in a suit and leaning against the doorframe.
Race smiled "Ya already got a goil what ya dressed up fer?"
Spot smirked "When Ali asked Angel ovah I took da hint ta dress nice." He laughed as Blink and Mush looked nervous. "Don't worry boys. Ali wants ta eat at Tibby's. Me n Race have uddah plans fer da night."
Race suddenly remembered what Spot had said when he first entered. "What do ya mean dat if I was talkin bout Cards den it's a date?"
Spot looked at Race "I know Cards. It's a date ta her." With that he looked at a pocket watch and then back at Race. "Speaking of Cards I think its bout time ta pick'r up unless ya wanna be late."
Race looked at his own watched and nearly hit the bunk on top of him. "I bettah go!" he said as he ran out of the Lodging House.
Spot shook his head "Annudah one down." Then he turned to look at Blink and Mush. "Ali n Angel are meetin us at Tibby's. Let's go." He then turned and walked out the door with Blink and Mush following quickly behind him.
A/N: sorry took so long but here's two chapter I swear ill update more now that my party is over. I have almost all of the story hand written and now its just up to typing it so it should go pretty fast. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW! It will improve the story and it will make all the characters involved happy. And just to warn the other plot may take over in a couple chapters but the romance will always be there.
