A/N-oooone more chapter! Are you excited? Cause I sure am. Although the word I would use is stoked. I'm totally stoked about this. Haha. Well, all you guys who asked for cameo's are getting them, hell I even have a cameo! See if you can find me! It won't be that hard :-D This chapter is mainly just fun. There is a little importance at the end but I guess that's the only real thing. The rest of it is just for your enjoyment. My new story will be going up soon, after I finish this and I will also be going back to working on Misery's Love Company, and I would really appreciate it if you checked out that story too! Now that I got that out of my system, here's the next chapter!

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: PAR-TAY!

By time 9:00 came around, the Brooklyn docks were cluttered with kids. Newsies from every borough in the city, street gangs, and plenty of other random street kids. There was a band playing a lively tune and plenty were dancing. In fact, if one walked by you could swear that the whole thing was just organized chaos.

Spot sat with a few of his boys, and some of the Manhattan boys, drinking from his whiskey bottle, looking around anxiously.

"Don worry Spot" Jack said, observing his friends anxiousness. "Dey'll be heah."

"Dey bettah" Spot growled, taking another swig. At that moment, Blink came sauntering over, a pretty brown haired, brown eyed girl on his arm.

"Fellas" he announced much too loudly, making it clear he was drunk. "Fellas dis is. . ." he looked up at the sky in thought and then back at the girl. "What's yoah name again?" he asked sheepishly.

"Oh Blink!" she said with a laugh. "You'se had too much ta drink. Half dese guys already know me. I am yoah goil, and I have been foah a few months."

"I know dat, but. . ." he scratched his head in a very cute, but confused way. "I can't remembah."

"Jaguar" she said, still laughing.

"Dat's right" he exclaimed, still talking loudly. "Fellas dis is Jag. . . Jaq. . ." he fumbled over her name, Jaguar laughing at his attempts.

"C'mon Blink" she said, tugging on his hand. "Theah ah bettah things ta be doin. If ya know what I'm gettin at. . ." she added with a grin. As Jaguar dragged Blink off, he gave the guys a huge smile, imagining what was in store for him.

"He's shoah havin fun" Geete, one of Spot's boys, commented with a grin.

"Yeah" Spot replied, still looking around. "If she doesn't get heah soon I'm gonna have a woid wit Fist" he muttered to himself.

"Calm down Spot" Mush said. "Everythin'll go jus fine" Spot opened his mouth to say something when he was cut off.

"MUSH MYERS!" a voice exclaimed angrily. The boys turned to see a short girl, with curly brown hair to her shoulders and brown eyes. "I've been lookin all ovah foah you'se and I find ya heah, sittin and drinkin wit dese fools. You'se left ta get a drink half an hour ago" she place her hands on her hips, her face filled with anger.

"Oops" Mush said sheepishly, a blush creeping over her face. "I'm sorry Hope" he said honestly.

"Dat's all you'se can say?!?!" she exclaimed. "Yoah sorry? You'se bettah make up foah it! NOW!" Mush jumped up from the crate he was sitting on.

"Somebody's whipped" Koke said with a laugh before Mush shot a glare at him.

"Hope" Mush pleaded, walking over to her, slipping his arms around her waist. "I'm really sorry" he kissed her passionately on the neck. "Let's get a way from dese joiks. I know jus dat thing ta make ya feel bettah" a smile crept over Hope's lips and the couple walked off.

"She's got him wrapped around her fingah" Jack laughed. Again, Spot opened his mouth to say something but he was interrupted again.

"Guys! Help me!" Specs said, rushing over, out of breath.

"Wha?" Bumlets questioned. Specs started to speak when a girl holding a bottle of vodka came up to him.

"Theah ya ah Specs!" she said walking over to him, her speech a little slurred.

"Hi Duck" he said, half-heartedly.

"C'mon" she pleaded, taking a swig of the vodka. "Jus one kiss. It's all I'm askin foah. Den I'll leave ya" Specs sighed in defeat.

"Fine" Duck smiled at his response and grabbed his shirt, pulling him towards her and plastering his lips against his. About fifteen seconds later Specs pulled away, a dazed look on his face. "Y'know" he stated. "Dat wasn't half bad."

"We could try again" Duck said, but then realized the guys around, staring at them in curiosity. "But I suggest we go somewheah a bit moah private" Specs smiled, offered his arm to Duck and the two headed back off into the chaos.

"Jack!" a familiar, silky voice called out. Scorch stepped into the view of the boys, her cheeks red from running. "Theah you'se ah" Spot looked at Scorch's black eye, puffy lip, and scratches in shock, as did the others.

"What happened?" Spot dared to ask the feisty girl.

"I was protectin Jack" Scorch said with a laugh and Jack rolled his eyes, muttering that he was doing just fine on his own. "From dis physco Italian chick" Spot's eyes went wide with recognition. "Den Reffy pulled her away."

"Shit" Spot muttered and Scorch shrugged.

"Oh well, I'm fine" she smiled at Jack. "As is he. I jus go heah Jack and I've been itchin ta dance. Would ya dance wit me Cowboy?"

"I'd be honahed" Jack stood up and Spot did too. Scorch and Jack looked at him, confusion as to why he was getting up too, written across their faces.

"I should mingle" he explained. The three set off, Scorch and Jack then leaving Spot for the dance floor. Spot began to seek out Fist, who he found standing, and drinking, with Ice, Axe, Blade, and a few other guys that he didn't recognize.

"Conlon" Fist acknowledged with a nod.

"Wheah ah dey?" he questioned fiercely.

"I dunno" Fist shrugged. "Dey'll show. Trust me."

"If dey don" Spot warned. "You'll be sorry Fist" Fist rolled his eyes and Spot began to wander the crowd. He came across Snoddy, who was sitting on a crate staring off into the crowd.

"Heya Snoddy" he said, sitting on the crate next to him. "Watcha lookin at?"

"Ya see dat goil?" Snoddy asked pointing at an average height girl with long brown curly hair and emerald eyes. "Dat's Jaws. Isn't she pretty? I want ta ask her ta dance but I'm shoah dat she'll jus say no."

"You'll nevah know until ya ask" Spot said engouragingly. "Go on" he gave Snoddy a nudge. Snoddy got up with a nervous sigh and walked over to the girl. He watched Snoddy speak and then saw Jaws blush. Snoddy led Jaws towards the dance floor, both smiling.

Spot let out a sigh, looking down at the ground, then looked up to see Race standing in front of him, grinning. When he noticed the look on Spot's face, the grin disappeared.

"What's da mattah?" he asked in concern.

"Nothin. . . nothin" Spot said. "Jus waitin foah someone."

"Oh" Race nodded and the grin reappeared. "Well I jus met da poifect goil."

"I doubt dat" Spot said with a laugh. "No one's poifect."

"She is!" Race exclaimed. "She's got wavy brown-red haiah, hazel eyes, she's goigeous and she don know it. Plus, she's smaht and nice ta everybody."

"Sounds like ya got yoahself a real keepah Race" Spot said with a slight smile. "Wheah is she?"

"She's. . ." Race began looking around. "She's uh. . . she's. . . uh. . . she was right theah. . ." he pointed to a spot. "But now she's not. . ."

"RACE!" a voice called out. The boys looked over to see a shortish girl approaching, a smile across her face. "I found ya!"

"Ah" Race said, still grinning. "Spot, dis is Cheers."

"Hiya!" she said cheerfully.

"Hi. . ." Spot said with his signature smirk. "Why don ya two kids run along? I think I see someone. . ." Rce nodded and grabbed Cheers's hand.

"Bye!" she said with the same cheerfulness before heading off with Race. Spot shook his head and then noticed Aurora just as the band began to play a slow song, which was perfect timing. Aurora sat on a crate, staring off into space, all by herself. She had a shiner and a bruise on her jaw, but it was hard to tell in the dark of the night. Spot grinned to himself before sauntering over to her.

"You'se" she spat out, looking up and seeing him. "What do you'se want?"

"Aurora Marie Capone" he said, getting down on one knee in front of her. "Would you'se dance wit me?"
