Chapter 2

Spunky came hopping into LH that night and asked, "Anyone want to play Poker?"

Racetrack smiled, "Sure! How much we bettin'?"

"Nothing."

"Nothing?"

"yeah. I just wanna have fun playin' it. 'sides I suck at it if were playin' for money." Spunky said.

Race stood there mock shocked face.

Blink walked in and saw Racetracks' face, "Wow. I don't think anyone has ever froze Race like dat."

"Yeah." Mush agreed, poking Race.

Race seemed to snap out of it. "Your insane Spunky."

Spunky just smiled in reply. And she, Blink, and Mush went to play a game of 10 cards No Peak.

Spot came up to Race, "I agree. She's got somethin' missin' in da Head. Maybe we should report her to da looney bin."

Race shook his head, "No. Jack would be mad and so would Blink. Dey'd never forgive us. 'sides I think she likes making people think shes weird."

Spot just shrugged and went off to play with Blink, Mush, Spunky, and now Shots. He got over there and sat down, "So, hows dis game woik?" he asked.

Spunky was dealing 10 cards to everyone, and didn't look up when she started to explain, "Alright. I deal everyone 10 cards. Do not look at them. Put them in a pile face down in front of you." The boys all did as she directed. "Ok now we go to my left, so that's you Blink. Ok so now you flip over the top card." Blink flipped the top card over. "Alright. A ten of hearts. Flip over the next. A jack. Flip. Another jack. Alright stop." She turned to Shots who sat next to Blink. "Alright Shots you know how ta play. You gotta beat a pair."

And so on went the game. Until everyone got tired and went to bed.

Spunky sat up in bed that night. She heard the sound of rain and got up. She went to the window and stared out. It was a sight to take any hopeless romantics breath away. That's exactly what Spunky was, though she'd never admit it aloud. She sighed.

The rain fell like diamonds in the soft moonlight. She felt an urge to go out and dance. A small smile grew on her lips. She loved dancing around in the rain. Or just listening to it made her feel like everything was ok. Like her father was still home and her mother was alive and her brother was right there with her, acting out a part of a story she had written. Her Brother and her had been so close. He had been her best friend. But in a flash everything was gone.

She felt a presence behind her and turned. Spot stood there gazing out the window at the beautiful scene. She knew the look in his eyes. She had seen it in her fathers' eyes when they'd wake up in the middle of the night to watch a thunderstorm together.

Opening the window and crawling out to sit on the fire escape, she beckoned Spot to follow. He did without saying a word. This surprised her. She assumed that he was the type to argue with her about everything.

When they both were sitting comfortably, the rain falling down on their head Spot spoke, "I love rain."

Spunky nodded, "yeah. Just the sound comforts me."

They sat there in silence for awhile. Mesmerized by the sound and feel of it and of each other.

Spot then turned and looked at her. "Your different."

Spunky looked startled then turned her blue eyes on his, "what do you mean?" she asked softly.

Spot shrugged, "More calm, I guess. Not as weird as you put out to be."

She smirked at him, "yeah? Well, your not as arrogant and air-headed as you put out to be."

He shrugged again. "where do youse sell?"

"On the corner of 42nd street and 8th Avenue."

Spot nodded, "Got anyone to sell wit?"

"Noo…"

"Youse wanna sell wit me?"

"If you wanna sell with me."

"Well I'm askin' if youse want ta."

"and I'm askin' if you want to."

Spot growled, "I wouldn't be askin' if I didn't want ta!"

Spunky laughed lightly, "geez! Spot ya don't gotta snip ma head off. Alright we'll sell tagetha! Now let's head for bed. I'm tired."

Spot sighed and followed her in.

In the weeks to follow Spot and Spunky became friends. Only seen without each other when Spot went to Brooklyn. Of course this happy bliss lasted only a couple months before, finally for the first time Spunky went with Spot to Brooklyn. Things from there got rather hectic.

A/N: alright next chappy will be Spunky visitin' Brooklyn for the first time. And since I don't want my chappys to be too short I figured I'd bring everything big happenin' in the next chapter. I know I may be goin' to fast but like I typed I'm not good at the beginning but trust me things will definitely get better!! Yay can't wait!! Please REVIEW!!
