The dinner at Willie's was as expected, not much happened. When it was over, and everyone was ready to leave it started raining, hard. The younger newsies, including Kitty, saw this as a chance to get really wet with an excuse, but the older newsies decided to stay in Willies for a while longer to see if the rain would let up.

"Where's Blue?" Spot asked scanning the room.

"Yeah, I been meanin' ta talk ta ya 'bout that." Jack said, writing things in his uneaten mashed potatoes. "Well she got pregnant, and..."

"Ya got one of me goils pregnant?" Spot asked ready to tear Jack apart.

"No." Jack said louder than he expected "It wasn't me I swear, she said she had been seein' a guy on da side, and she went back to Tennessee."

"Why would she go to Tennessee?" Spot asked. Not as mad as he was just sad she wouldn't tell him or say good-bye before she left.

"I think it was a good idea, what would she do wit' a baby on da streets of Brooklyn? And she has no money for a baby, those things are expensive." Jack said, laughing a little at his own joke. After that no one spoke. There was a long silence.

"I'm going back to The Lodging House, the storm has calmed a little, and I'm taking advantage of it. Am I going to see you back at The Lodging House?" Dani asked looking at Mush and Jack.

"Yeah," Spot answered for them. "They'll probably sleep there 'cause of da storm."

"Are ya sure Spot? 'Cause we might be able ta make it back if we run." Jack said jokingly

"Yeah, bein' a little wet won't hurt us." Mush said, "It might even do Jack here a little good." The room filled with laughter and Jack playfully punched him.

"Wit' dat said I'm goin' wit' Dan." Jack replied standing up Mush and Trixie followed them, but stayed a few steps behind talking.

"I think they make a cute couple." Dani said avoiding a puddle.

"Ya mean Mush and Trixie? He's liked her for a while, but now dat I'se single I kinda like her." Jack retorted.

"What has brought on this new found openness?" Dani asked laughing under her breath.

"Ya don't think I should tell ya things? Ya are my sista." Jack said slightly hurt.

"No, it's just no ones ever been this honest with me before that all. I'm just not used to it." Dani said surprised he was that easily hurt. Suddenly it began to rain hard and fast, and the Lodging House wasn't even in view. They ran as fast as they could to The Lodging House until Dani tripped, and fell in a huge puddle. She sat there laughing for a minute until Trixie tripped over Dani and Mush tripped over Jack causing both of them to fall making a huge pile of wet cold people in the middle of the road.

'Sorry guys." Dani said with tears in her eyes from laughing so hard. Jack and Mush got up first and helped the girls up. Then they put the girls on their shoulders and carried them to The Lodging House. When they got there Mush and Trixie went into the room with the small fireplace, and when they thought Jack and Dani had gone upstairs they shared a, small but meaningful, kiss.

Dani and Jack went upstairs, found an empty corner of the room, sat down, and talked until the showers were open

"Who do ya like Dan?" Jack asked focusing on a dent in the wall.

"What do you mean?" Dani asked focusing on the same dent.

"You know what I mean, cm'on Dani." Jack said.

"I don't, there's no one here that I think of that way. These people are my family." They talked for about an hour until the showers were open.

"Guess what I saw." Dani said when all the girls were in the bathroom.

"What?" Kitty asked very interested.

"I saw Mush and Trixie kissing." Dani said. Butter went absolutely crazy with excitement.

"Trixie why didn't ya tell me? Do ya like a lot? How was the kiss? Was he good?" Butter asked in one breath.

"I Neva kiss an' tell." Trixie said grinning.

"Since when?" Butter asked. "Ya kiss an' tell all da time." She said trying to pry it out her.

"I don't get kissed all da time an' dis time it was special." Trixe said staring into space.

"Ahhhhh," Butter screamed. "She said special," Butter seemed more excited than Trixie.

"Dani, how did ya see us? We thought ya had went up stairs." Trixe asked

"That's what Jack and I wanted you to think." When Dani finished in the bathroom, she went down stairs to the room with the fireplace to see a small poker game. Dani was dealed in, and she played poker until she went to bed.

The next day

Dani again woke to Spot getting ready in the bathroom, then she did as she does every morning and met Spot down stairs.

"On to me throne?" Spot asked coming down the stairs.

"Lead the way captain." Dani said gesturing for him to walk.

"Ya know I think all me newsies should call me captain." Spot said pondering the concept.

"Hmmm," Was all Dani could say to that.

"You'se one of da only people who've eva been up there." Spot said as he stepped over a puddle from the storm last night. After that no one spoke for a moment "It rained hard last night." Spot said trying to strike a conversation.

"You know that term, It's raining cats and dogs out side, well, it comes from when peoples pets used to live on their roofs and when it rained really hard the animals would fall and therefor the term It's raining cats and dogs outside, was born." Dani said, not sure why she was saying that.

"That's interesting'." Spot said with a complete lack of interest. They walked in silence until they finally reached the dock.
