Chapter 9!! YAY!!

Jack and Spot came to the LH a half hour later. They walked in to find Blink, Race, Mush, Spunky, and four people they didn't know.

Spunky was next to them in a matter of seconds. "What happened?" she demanded.

Jack smiled and told them.

"And I told him, if he wants a fight with Manhattan then he better expect one with Brooklyn, too." Spot hated lying, but he wasn't about to confess undying love to her.

Spunky nodded. A girl with red hair and ice blue eyes laughed, "I knew it! I knew you would 'cause war."

Spunky rolled her eyes, "thanks Wicked! I'm soo loved. By the way, that's Jack Kelly and Spot Conlon. Guys that's Riot Ridley Wicked and Rip." She pointed to each person.

Jack spit shook with Ridley and so did Spot.

"Spunky!" a voice came from the top of the stairs. They all looked up to see Twist.

"Twist! Get back in bed!" Spunky said while running up and taking the boy back to her bed, Wicked following behind them.

Spot sighed, "Well, Jacky boy. I'm gonna grab a bed. Didn't get much sleep last night." Jack nodded.

Spot headed up the stairs. When he got up there he saw Wicked standing near by, while Spunky clean some of Twists cuts.

Wicked saw him and came over. "Isn't Twist so cute?" she asked watching the small boy.

"Yeah." But Spot was watching Spunky.

Wicked say who he was staring at and smiled. "I didn't think that Ridley would have any competition." Spunky got up, turned and smiled at the two. "But with the way she looks at you…I image that I am wrong." Wicked smiled back at Spunky.

Spot stood thunderstruck. Was he that obvious?

Spunky came over, "You comin' to Tibby's with us, Spot?"

Spot shook his head, "Naw. I'm tired. I'll stay here with Twist."

Spunky nodded. "Alright! We'll see you when we get back?"

Spot smiled and nodded.

He laid down in a bed. He couldn't get what Wicked said out of his head. He finally rolled over and fell alseep.

NEXT DAY

Spot woke up as everyone else was getting up. He was surprised he slept so long. He yawned and got out of the bed. He got cleaned up and went down the stairs. Spunky was sitting in her usual place, but now with Riot and Wicked.

"G'mornin Spot!" Spunky said smiling.

"Good mornin', Spunky." Spot replied, giving another yawn.

Spunky gave him a look, "your still tired?"

"That or I'm just getting over it."

Spunky nodded understandingly. "well, I kinda promised Wicked and Riot I'd sell wit them. You don't mind do ya?"

Spot shrugged, "Naw, I was pla-" But, he was cut off by Blink yelling, "TEASE! I SWEAR I'M GONNA SOAK YA!!" they watched as Tease came running down the steps a very tired, very angry Blink after him. They all started laughing seeing Blink shirt-less and had ink marks on it. Blink was trying to put his shirt on and chase Tease at the same time.

Spunky grabbed Tease as he ran by. Tease gave a Squeal and Spunky laughed. Seeing a ten-year old squeal like a pig must have been funny, 'cause everyone went into another fit of laughter.

The now clothed Blink, came and took Tease from Spunky as Jack came down yelling for everyone to head to the Distribution office.

Spot turned the opposite way as everyone else and headed for Brooklyn.

WITH SPUNKY

Spunky was walking with the Boston Newsies when she saw Jack. Spot was usually with him. She looked around and didn't see him. "Jack! Jack!"

"Yeah?" Jack asked. Coming next to her.

"Where's Spot?" she asked.

"He said he was going to Brooklyn."

Spunky stopped. A couple of the boys yelled at her. Jack and the Boston Newsies stopped, too.

"What's wrong?" asked Ridley with concerned.

"Spot!" she felt her stomach lurch. Something was definitely wrong.

She turned and started running toward what she knew was Brooklyn. She knew Jack and her Boston friends were behind her. She barely heard Jack call to a few other Newsies, but she continued to run.

WITH SPOT

Spot entered the LH. He wasn't expecting any of his Newsies to be there. But, when he entered he found them all tied up. There was a lot of Brooklyn Newsies, too.

Some other Newsies were there. Ones he had never seen before. He was shocked to see Cricket standing there. Spunky's words came back, But I know he's a traitor. You can't trust him. He only thinks of himself and what he gets outta things."

"Traitor." Spot growled. Cricket smirked.

"So you took to long in Belle's warnings. My, my Conlon. You're not good with trusting people are you?"
