Knots and Sparks walked back over to Jack.
" So uh... Jack...right?" Sparks said.
" Yea that's right." Jack said unaware of Sparks's attitude change.
" Well uh I'm sorry bout before. Youse goil over there talked some sense into me, and well I hope you'll let me stay here." Sparks had a small pleading look in her eyes.
Jack looked over at Knots.
" Alright you can stay."
Sparks smiled and then spit in her hand and held it out for Jack to shake.
He shook it and then clapped her on the back.
" Well I'll leave ya to get to know everyone. Knots I'm gonna go hang with the boys ok?"
" Ok Jack."
As Jack walked past Knots he pulled her in for a tight hug and then kissed her on the cheek.
" So Sparks. Ya need to meet some people now."
Knots let out a high pitch whistle.
" Hey Milkshake C'mere."
Milkshake was sitting next to Racetrack on the floor repeating what they had done in the park earlier that day.
Milkshake looked up and saw Knots standing with the new girl. She walked over eagerly.
"Hey Knotsy what's going on?"
" I want ya to meet someone." Knots gestured towards Sparks. "This heah is Sparks. She's gonna be living with us now."
" Nice to meet ya Sparks. I'm Milkshake." Milkshake held out her hand for a spit shake.
" So are you two the only girls here?" Sparks asked.
" Yep." They both answered in unison.
" So do you guys have boyfriends?"
The girls looked at each other and laughed a little.
" Well ya already saw that Jack and I are a couple, and then Racetrack and Milkshake are a couple."
" Racetrack? Which one is he?"
" Hey Race. Wave!" Milkshake called out.
Racetrack looked up from his deck of cards and waved confused towards the girls.
" That's him." Milkshake beamed. "He's the best."
" Have you seen any boys that interest you yet?" Knots asked slyly.
Sparks blushed a little.
" Maybe one." She said smirking.
" Who?" Milkshake asked.
" Don't tell him?"
The girls nodded.
" Spot." She whispered.
" Spot!?!" The girls exclaimed loudly.
" Whaddya want?" Spot said from a game of poker.
" Oh uh. Nothing we was just saying who the greatest leader of Brooklyn is." Milkshake covered up.
" I think Spot has something for ya too." Knots said quietly
" Yea. Want me to ask him? We could set you guys up." Milkshake said walking towards Spot.
Sparks grabbed Milkshake's arm and pulled her back.
" Hey you guys said you wouldn't tell him."
" We wont." Knots grinned.
" Why don't we all go join the game?" Sparks asked.
" Alright." Milkshake said.
" Ok. I just gotta go talk to Kelly first." Knots said staying behind.
Knots walked over to where Jack was sitting and pulled him into the hall.
Jack immediately started to kiss her thinking she was pulling him into the hall for something else.
Knots started to giggle.
" Jack I actually pulled ya out here cause I needa tell ya something."
Jack stopped and looked sad.
" Ok Shoot."
" Well ya know that new girl Sparks?"
" Yea I know her."
" Well she has a thing for Spot, and I think he does too. They would make a good couple, they seem to be a lot alike."
Jack looked at Knots and started to laugh.
"Sparks and Spot. It does have a ring to it doesn't it." Jack laughed harder.
" So will ya talk to Spot for me?"
" Why can't you talk to him?"
" Because I promised Sparks I wouldn't tell him. But I didn't promise that you wouldn't tell him." Knots smiled devilishly.
" That's my goil." Jack said picking her up.
" Talk to him?"
" Sure."
Jack started to go back into the room.
Before he went in Knots grabbed his arm and pulled him back.
Knots wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him deeply.
" There ya go." She smiled. And then pushed him into the bunkroom.
