Disclaimer/Claimer: Think REAL hard on this.....
Danielle cautiously made her way around the statue of Horace Greeley. It was the 78th time she'd circled it, and she was slowly slipping into boredom. Sure, it'd be more interesting if she was with one of her friends, talking about something while circling the statue, but since she wasn't, she was bored.
She sighed and leaned against the statue, tilting her head back as closed her eyes, allowing the warmth from the sun radiate into her body. After about a minute or so of this bliss, she felt someone lightly tap her shoulder. So, reluctantly, she lifted her head up.
There stood Jenny, her smile still in tact as she joined Danielle in leaning against the statue. "Sorry if I surprised you," she apologized, shaking her head as a flie flew around her head.
Danielle swatted at it, successfully smacking it into the statue and causing it to fall to the ground unnoticed. "It's okay," was all she replied with before returning her gaze to the streets. Hardly anyone was out today, so the streets were abandoned of almost all activity.
For a while silence ensued, before Jenny spoke up. "Does Anna not like me?" she asked, her eyes concentrating on the small cyclone of dust whirling around in the street before she switched her eyes over to Danielle.
She lifted her head up, looking quizzically at Jenny. "Why would you ask that?"
Jenny shrugged. "It's just, I dunno, something was in her eyes when I met her. She seemed like she was angry, and I didn't know if I'd done anything, that's all."
Danielle laughed lightly. "No, she's got nothing against you, it's Blink's blood she's after."
Jenny's eyes widened and she faced Danielle. Danielle noticed her reactions and shook her head. "NO! Not like that, she's just angry, is all," she left off, stretching her arms over her head.
Jenny relaxed a bit, but then her face wrinkled in confusion. "Why's she mad at him?"
After figuring a way to put it nicely, she turned back to face Jenny. "Well, she just doesn't find it right that he acts like he likes Ray an' all when he's got you already," she explained, smiling faintly at the brown-haired girl next to her.
Jenny's blue eyes squinted in pure confusion. "What d'you mean, got me?"
Danielle sighed again. "Well, aren't you two a couple?"
Jenny stared blankly at her for a few seconds, then laughed silently. Danielle looked at her. "What?"
Jenny couldn't stop laughing for a while. Finally, she did stop, and she looked back at her. "No, we aren't a thing, just good friends is all. He's told me he likes Ray," she said.
This time it was Danielle's turn to look shocked. She shook her head and laughed silently for a second or two at the situation. "Well then, I suppose I should tell Anna that before she has his head over it," she said, her eyes locking with Jenny's.
Jenny nodded, and pushed herself off the statue. "I'll go find Blink and tell him, then maybe we can find Ray and get it all straightened out." Danielle nodded at her idea, and waved good-bye as Jenny took off running, her brown skirt swishing around ankles.
Danielle, in the meantime, took off at a steady, fast-paced walk in the opposite direction, hoping to find Amanda. However, she was totally unprepared to run directly into her as a little boy raced past her.
Amanda hardly said a thing to her before she resumed chasing the kid. Danielle half-laughed at the scene, then realized she was about to fall. She steadied herself and braced herself for a fall, but it never came. Instead of the warm, hard ground greeting her, warm, soft hands caught her under her arms. As she was slowly lifted back off her heels to an even position on her feet, she turned around and came face-to-face with Spot. She smiled.
"Hey," she greeted, not knowing what else to say. After all, she did supposedly only meet him yesterday.
He smiled and nodded. "How are ya?" he asked, although she figured it was just to be nice.
She shrugged, and stood there awkwardly, pondering inside her head what she should do. However, Spot took care of that problem. "So, I hear you and youse friends gonna be at da ralley, huh?"
She looked from the street to him, and found his blue eyes captivating. "Yup," she managed, her eyes still on his. She swore she saw a sincere look of joy in them.
"Well then, I suppose I'll be seein' ya there, then," he said, raising an eyebrow at her briefly.
She nodded, and never took her eyes off him as he tilted his hat to her, turned, and headed in the direction she guessed he had been going in in the first place.
She blinked, and smiled a large smile. She began to walk to nowhere in particular, skipping every now and then.

OH YEAH! I GOT ANOTHER ONE UP FINALLY! Anyways, here goes the shout-outs to my reviewers....
crazzygurl311- Yeah yeah yeah, like I don't know you! LOL, well, I'm glad to see you've finally caught up on the story, and NOT on my computer! Ha, anyways, I'm glad it's to your liking, and I'm glad I "capture" Anna to your liking. Anyways, can't wait to see about HC, huh? Anyways once again, I hope you enjoy this chapter and the next ones to come!
Devonny- Hey, I'm glad you liked this chapter, and that's interesting that you go to school that late, can I go where you go? Ha, j/k, but anyways, I hope that was enough Spot for now, but I swear, he'll be in more soon! Enjoy!
Moonlights Sundance- Well, it's FINALLY posted, and I hope you liked it! I should have the next chapter up too by this weekend, so let's all cross our fingers! *does it* Anyways, thanks about the luck with colorguard and school, it's been helping. Enjoy!
Well now, that's all for now, and I hope to be updating a lot more now. See, I really, really, REALLY apologize for the lack of updates on all of my stories, it's just that I haven't had the internet for a week because the cable company cut our cable, and then when I got it back, the gay computer cut it off again! And it wasn't because of the cable company! Then I got it working, but I was sick, and I had lost my notebook. Now, I found the notebook, but I'm still sick, so if the next few chapters aren't quite what you expected, I'm sorry, and I'll try and do my best to make up for them. Anyways, Enjoy All!
