Howdy i don't own anyone but Dani and all the Brooklyn Newsies except Spot, yeah, thats it.
oh, yeah you don't have to read the part about Davi/Sarah i put that in there for a friend of mine, and kinda myself.
Dani awoke the next morning to some one in the bathroom. She suspected it was Spot so she got up and went to the girls bathroom and got ready for the day as fast as she possible could. She went down stairs and out the door to wait for Spot there. Her wavy (thanks to the braids she had just taken out)
blonde hair that usually hung down to right below her shoulders was now
blowing in the cold morning wind.
"How did I'se know ya would be out here waitin' for me?"
Dani spun around to see Spot standing in the doorway.
"I want to go to." "Not today I have other things I'se need ta talk 'bout with Jack anyway." Dani was starting to get suspicious of Spot. Why did he care if she went or
not, it was her brother. "How's about I treat ya ta breakfast and then ya come back 'ere and if all
goes well you can come wit' me tomorrow?" "Fine, but what am I supposed to do at the lodging house after breakfast?"
"I got one of me best sellers to show ya da ropes of sellin' papes."
"Lead the way captain" Dani replied, rather upset she wasn't going to Manhattan. After all of her
troubles of getting here, but she could wait one more day.
"'Eres da place,"
Spot held the door open as Dani walked into a small Pastry shop.
"Two of da chocolate ones,"
Spot said pointing to a pair of chocolate pastries.
"Newsie discount?" The man at the counter asked. Spot nodded and handed the man his money and
the man handed him is pastries.
"Hope ya like chocolate"
Spot said, as he handed her pastry to her. "I haven't had much chocolate but what I have had I liked. Thank-you for
buying me breakfast and going to see Jack."
"Ya welcome,"
He replied looking a little surprised. After they got done eating Spot headed towards Manhattan as Dani headed to The Lodging House. She was still
kinda upset about not going with Spot, but Spot made it clear over
breakfast that her day was not going to be a easy one.
point of view change
Spot walked alone to Manhattan. He had just gotten away from Dani. She was definitely one of the most headstrong girls that he had ever met. But if her story checks out she would have a reason to be. Spot respected her. He liked her; she demanded respect, as did he. You don't become the leader of
the Brooklyn newsies from letting people walk all over you. He was the toughest and most well known newsie in all on New York. Followed by Jack
Kelly or as Dani called him, Francis Sullivan. It doesn't matter what you call him it's the same person. Francis was sent to jail and escaped. He canged his name to Jack Kelly so the bulls wouldn't
find him.
And apparently Dani didn't know this. When Spot really thought about it
Jack and Dani do look a lot alike and they act alike also. Soon his
thoughts were interrupted by
Race Tracks voice
"Vermont is considering ta join New Yowk!"
"Where's that story?"
Spot asked jokingly
"Hey ya Spot,"
Race said, they spit shook and race started talking again,
"What brings ya ta these parts?"
"I got some business wit' Cowboy," Spot said using Jacks nickname also making sure he didn't give away to much
information.
"Do ya know where I can find 'im?"
Spot asked
"Probably in Central Park or around there."
"Thanks Race" Spot said as he headed on his way to find Jack. He was surprised that Race hadn't invited him to a poker game or something but he didn't have time to
do that any way. He had places to go and people to see. He looked all around Central Park and Jack was no were in found. So he resorted to plan
two, wait for him at Tibby's. It didn't take long before Jack walked
through the door.
"Hey ya Cowboy over here."
"Hey ya Spot why the pleasure?"
"No reason just needed a break."
"ya want somthin' ta eat?"
"Na, I ain't hungry," Spot replied. He wasn't sure when the right moment to ask about Dani was,
but was going to wait for it. "How Blue? She said she was comin' to Manhattan yesterday. I waited and she
never came."
Jack said with deep concern in his voice.
"Umm maybe she forgot. She seems to be o.k. though." Spot knows Jack cares deeply for Blue. They've been dating for half a year. But lately Blue doesn't seem as happy to see Jack as she used to be. It was none of Spots business, yet on that thought neither is this Dani issue, but
for some reason he felt it was.
"I don't understand how she could just forget. She ain't never forgot
before. I think some thins wrong wit...."
Jack kept talking, but Spots mind was wandering. Far beyond Jacks love problems. He wasn't scared or even nervous. He just wanted to wait for the
right moment to spring this on him, and this didn't seem to be it.
".... She said dat we was made for each other and-"
"Are ya doin' somethin' later tonight? 'cause I gotta talk ta ya."
"Umm no, just come by the Lodin' house and I'll be there."
"Bye Jack oh and I'll talk to Blue for ya."
"Thanks Spot,"
Spot left Tibby's leaving a very confused Jack, and a plateful of unanswered question. He would have stayed longer but Jack was annoying him
with his love problems, and Spot had no intentions of spending any
unofficial time (as in Newsie business stuff) with Jack right now. Right after Spot left Tibby's he started getting really bored and needed to find something to do before he started talking to himself. So he went to pay a visit to The Mouth. (To all you not newsie obsessior's jk The Mouth is David Jacobs) Since Davi's dad armed healed and Davi went back to school
no one's seen much of him. As soon as he got close to the Jacobs apartment he heard some one singing "Once and for All." It was Sarah. She won't get over Jack. He broke up with
her right before him and Blue got together. Supposedly she was being to
pushy and wouldn't give him any space, so Jack broke up with her. Spot didn't care though he never liked her. She wasn't bright enough for Jack she would go off in her own little wold and ask people stupid and obvious
questions, but Jack was attracted to her none the less.
Spot walked up and rang the door bell. Sarah answered,
"May I help you? Oh, hi Spot,"
She said
"Yeah, hi Sarah, is Davi there?" "No, I'm afraid he's gone to New Hampshire with his school. Would you like
me to tell him you stopped by?"
"No thanks, bye Sarah."
"Bye Spot." She said as she closed the door. Now he still had a little while before he
wanted to go talk to Jack and nothing to do.
