ducks-go-quack-00: when I chose the name Spunky, well before I was going to nickname her Challenge Scotts y'know have it Spots initials backwards. But then Spunky popped into my head and I though why not have the same initials? so I changed it. I'm pretty sure it will be in this chapter you find out about her… but maybe I'll give ya a cliffhanger…I don't kno. It depends on how I feel. If I feel being nice and writing it in this chapter…or…thanks for reviewin'!!!

Chapter 5

A couple days later Spunky sat on the counter at the LH while the boys got dressed. Kloppman came out, "Spunky. You got a letter."

"Already? Wow, they must be eager to speak to lil ol' me!" she giggled slightly, then tore open the letter. It had neat, familiar writing. And she felt a small stab of home-sickness. The letter read,

Dear Spunky,

How's it goin' gal? Sounds like you've got some problems up there. But don't worry, I got some connections to a ticket seller who owes me a favor. I can get 4 tickets free for New York and Back. I'm worried so were coming and there is nothin' you can do about it. We all know that you got some problems that could possibly (with no doubt right now in my mind) turn to a full out Newsie War. I'm comin' and so is Ridley, Riot, and Rip. Anyway, are you going to meet us there? Because, by the time you get this letter we should already be gone. And theres nothin' that can change our minds. We should be there the 14th . so we'll see ya soon. Alright? Ok bye bye.

Your #1 buddy,

Wicked

P.S.: everyone says hi and wishes you lots of love!!!

Spunky sat there staring at the letter.

"What ya readin'?" a voice asked.

Spunky shook her head and looked up to see Jack. "umm… Jack? Do we have room for four more people?" Spunky asked timidly.

Jack thought a moment, "we got a one bunk bed and a single bed. Some'll hafta sleep on da floor. Why?"

Spunky thought a moment, "some friends from Boston want ta come an' visit me."

"Boston Newsies? That's fine." Jack replied. He turned to look at some of the Newsies, "Hey boys! We got Boston Newsies comin' ta visit…" he looked at Spunky. 'Tomorrow' she mouthed, "…Tomorrow."

The boys started talkin'. Blink, Race, and Mush came up.

"Boston Newsies are comin'?" Blink asked.

"Yeah. Riot, Ridley, Rip, and Wicked."

Blink's eye lit up. "Wicked? I haven't seen her in so long. I wonder if she's still as gorgeous as she use ta be."

"Last time I saw she was with Steal." Spunky replied.

Blink's heart sank. "Oh." Was all he said.

"So who youse sellin' wit Spunky, since Spot ain't here."

Spunky shrugged.

"You want to sell with me?" Race asked.

"Sure." Spunky said.

Then they all turned to a small voice, "leave me alone, Tease!"

A little boy with dark hair and big honey colored eyes was saying to a older boy who was pickin' on him.

Spunky jumped down as the older boy pushed the smaller. "Hey! Leave him alone!" she came over, eyes flashing.

The older boy who had been called Tease, shrugged and walked away with a smirk on his face. Spunky turned to the small boy and kneeled down in front of him, "whats your name?" she asked.

The little boy looked at her, "Twist." He replied.

"Yeah," said Race coming up behind them, "we just took him in 2 days ago."

Spunky nodded, "Well, Twist. You want to sell with me and Race?"

The little boy nodded.

Selling at Sheepshead.

"PLACE YOUR BETS!!" a voice boomed.

"Number 3." Spunky put down.

"Number 14." Race said.

Spunky looked around for Twist. "Twist? Twist where are you?" when the little boy didn't come, Spunky grew worried.

"Race! Race, I can't find Twist."

Race and Spunky then began looking.

Race caught a glimpse of him being dragged off by a boy their age. "Over this way! C'mon Spunk!" the two friends ran toward the ally in which Twist had been dragged.

When they turned they saw two boys soaking him. "Hey you big bully!" Spunky yelled. Running over to him, she turned him around and socked him right in the eye.

When she pulled her arm back, she recognized the boy, "What the Hell?" she asked.

He grinned, "you can't hide Belle. Rage will find you. Soakin' the boy was just phase 1. Or… maybe phase 3." Then he turned and ran. The other boy freed himself from Race and followed.

Spunky shook her head and ran over to Twist. He was hurt real bad. "wow! They did a lot of damage real fast." He then turned to her. "I heard him."

Spunky regarded him a moment, "I will tell you. I might as well tell you now. Go to Brooklyn get Spot. I promised I would tell him soon. I'll get Mush, Blink, and Jack."

Race nodded. "what are we going to do with Twist?"

"I'll take him. Don't worry. He's very small."

Race nodded.

About and hour later at the LH.

"What's this about, Spunky?" Mush asked.

"Shhh. Let her speak. She's going to tell us what happened." Spot growled. His face then went into concerned.

Spunky had cleaned up Twist and laid him in her bed. The boys where sitting on the bed next to hers and she was in front of them pacing.

"This, "she said motioning to Twist, "is my fault. But, everything started about a month after Blink had left…"
