Jack came up to find Scott. "Hey we're ready te go."
"Yer not goin! I ain't lettin ye!"
"Jack whudd er we gonna do wid her?"
"I know just de thing!" Jack picked me over his shoulder and trotted down the stairs.
"Hey leggo! Ye ain't doin it!" I yelled trying to get loose from his grip.
"Sorry Angel but we gotta! Hey someone's gonna have te watch her! Go get someone." Jack ordered to Scott.
"Scott! Don't do dis! Please!" but Scott totally ignored me and went to fetch someone.
"Just te make it clea.. We ain't gonna loose. Promise!"
I stopped struggling. "So I can't talk ye outta it?"
"Nope. We decided it a while ago. De last time was de last, we ain't letting it happen again. We promised Scott we'd help take cara ye an we haven't been doin a good job."
"Just promise me one thing." I said as he put me down.
"Whudd is it?"
"Make surre ye all come back in one piece."
He hugged me. "Promise."
Scott came back with Snipe-shooter. "He's gonna watch her."
"Thanks fer alla dis." I hugged Scott. "Just don get yerself killed!"
"Alright.."
Scott and Jack left and Bailey came in right behind them. "So yer stayin too…"
"Actually I'm goin te fight beside me man!" Bailey yelled hugging me and running to catch up with Jack.
"I can't believe it…me whole family's goin crazy!" I smiled then raced over to the window to watch the fight.
There was a mass of boys and newsies facing each other. Bailey was the only girl and even though she didn't look it, she could definitely hold her only and some more. When the fighting started I was nervous, I could see everyone fighting. All of the newsies were doing well, as a matter of fact it seemed like they were winning. I noticed Spot and who he was fighting. He was fighting Trevor.
"So ye enjoyin de fight?" Snipe-shooter asked standing behind me.
"Are you kiddin, if dey make it out alive I'ma have te kill em! Xcept Bailey an Jack of course."
I looked back at the fighting. Bailey knocked some guy out. Spot seemed to be doing fine against Trevor, Trevor wasn't much of a fighter. I laughed at the site if him. He was bleeding badly from the nose. Spot didn't even have a scratch. I saw Jack and Blink fighting a big guy. They were double teaming him and of course were winning. I didn't see many newsies loosing but lots were hit. But for one I noticed Dutchy was having a bit of trouble. Two had him by the arms and another was about to hit him. But before he could Race punched him from behind.
Some of the Crypts were retreating. It was pitiful, running from a bunch of boys. The Delancey's were fighting Pie-Eater and Mush. They were doing pretty well for not getting beat. The Delancey's haven't laid a finger on them, they had done the same. After a few rounds Boots snuck up behind Morris and Bailey tripped Oscar. Both were knocked to the ground. Before they could get up Pie-Eater and Mush were on them in a second.
The fight was over within ten or fifteen minutes. The newsies had won, and, they did it all for me. I still couldn't believe it seemed they won so easily. They came back in all celebrating their victory. Spot was the last one in.
"Hey!" he smiled hugging me as he came in. "So bout yer fatha, could we just pound im instead?" he joked.
"I really wish." I smiled.
Boots came up to us. "So was dat fun er whudd?" he asked.
"Boots." Spot said giving him 'the look'.
"Well I was…Oohhh! Alright…I'm goin." he left smiling.
"Well it looks like Jack kept his promise." I smiled then gave Spot a long sweet kiss.
"Whudds dat fer?" he asked surprised. "I neva did dat cuz of whudd Scott said."
"Well I thought ye deserved it." I smiled at him. "But don get any ideas."
David practically came out of nowhere. "Wow yer foist real kiss. I think ye liked it a lil' too much." he joked.
"Shudd up!" I smiled still holding Spot.
"Hey remeba! Don do anythin funny!" Scott said messing my hair.
"Don't worry. We ain't planning te." Spot smiled. "Well at least not fer a while."
"Uuuhh not te ruin de mood but I think we aughta talk." Scott said looking at everyone around the room. I noticed his eyes met Bailey's and realized now was the time we were to talk about out father.
We walked into my room and closed the door after Scott made sure Jack was to make sure no one interfere. Me, Spot and Bailey sat on the bunk.
"Now we all know whudds goin te happen in a few weeks." Scott said starring at Spot. "Our fatha is gonna take Angel."
"But whudd I don't undastand is why just Angel." Bailey cut in.
"C'mon ye haven't figured it out. Angel ye realize our fatha is now rich, well richa den we are. He wants te have ye marry de son of one a de newspapa ownas."
"Whoa how dye know dis?" I asked all confused.
"I read one a de lettas he wrote te Medda. He told one a mista Pulitzer's son bout ye. He wants ye te marry im."
"He can't do dat can he? I mean I ain't marryin any old guy."
"Well dats just it, yer almost fifteen and dat 'old guy's' almost twenty three."
"Wow a big age gap." Bailey stated looking around.
"Ye ain't helping any."
"Well if we can't do anything she ain't gonna have a choice but marry im." Spot said then looking at me.
"He can't do dat! Whudd kinda fatha is he!?" I yelled as Spot held me.
"Obviously a selfish one. Mebe when he comes we could talk te im. Mebe talk im outta it." Spot suggested.
"I don wanna talk te im. I don even know im!"
"Look when he comes, yer gonna have te do somethin. I mean nona us wants dis te happen. At least get te know im an mebe ye could talk im outta it. We don even know whudd he's like." Scott reminded me.
"Yea he's right Angel. He might be a real nice guy dat just happened te leave yer family. Ye really don know anythin bout im, he might be nice." Spot said still holding me.
"Yer right, but whudd if he ain't?" I asked suddenly afraid to meet my own father.
"Den we're gonna have te do something." Scott smiled.
Scott winked at Bailey and then they left me and Spot alone.
"Spot? I'm afraid of im." I said after they were gone.
"Ye ain't gotta be afraid. Whudd if he's nuttin like we expect?" I suddenly realized Spot's point.
"Yer right. Thanks, fer everythin." I smiled then smacked him upside the head.
"Whudd was dat fora?" he asked confused.
