Within an hour both me and Bailey had cleaned up. Bailey was dressed and Christina was putting on her makeup. I still didn't have a dress to wear.

"Whudd bout me?" I asked as Christina said she was done.

"I'm sorry I didn't find a dress fer ye te wear. Got te Spot's room. I think he said he'd be in derre. He might take ye te go find one."

"Alright, but I don think he'll be any help." I said on my way to Spot's room.

"Ye neva know!" Bailey called out after me.

"Heya Spot, we gotta talk, I don think dis is gonna woik!" I said as he opened the door.

"It's gonna woik," he smiled and pulled me in. "as a present I want ye te have dis." he said grabbing my hand and putting something in it. "Befora ye look at it, (he was holding my hand shut) how does dis dress look." he said showing me the dress on his bed.

It was a light blue dress mostly plain embroidery along the side of the dress and around the back. It had thin straps and had an open back. "Thank ye so much!" I smiled hugging him. "It's beautiful."

"Now look it whudd I gave ye." he said grinning.

"Oh my god! How did ye get dis?"

"I know ye didn't want a ring but I thought why not. Besides I was able te save de money. I asked Bailey te help pick somethin out. De dress an de ring."

"Ah, wise choice. She seems te know everythin."

"Dat she does. She said ye'd like de ring."

"An I do." I smiled putting it on. "Thank ye, but ye do know ye didn't have te do dis."

"I know, but I did. An when we get te Medda's yer dancing wid me!" Spot said then leaving me to change.

"Angel c'mon hurry up. We kinda wanna go now!" Bailey nagged pounding on the door as I changed "C'mon get de lead outta yer pants!"

"Bailey! Shudd up will ye! A dog barks less den you!" I snapped.

"Look, I dunno bouteou but I wanna get derre while everyone's derre!"

"Ok I'm comin!" I said finally exiting Spot's room. "How do I look?" I asked Bailey.

"Well ye could do something wid dat face o yers, fer starters." she laughed. "Ye look fine. Besides, I knew I looked great in it, ye couldn't look much woise!"

"Nice." I laughed.

"So did he give it te ye?" Christina asked hinting.

"Give it te me, not dat I knew." I said then held out my hand. "Oh wait, yer talkin bout dis!"

"C'mon we ready te leave?" Scott asked us.

"Yea, where's Spot?" I asked looking around noticing mostly everyone was gone.

"He went ahead. Its jus youse guys, me, an Blaze." Scott answered.

"Ah, mebe he thought ye stood im up takin as long as ye did." Bailey laughed.

"Shudd up! Atleast mine was hea. Yer's didn't even botha te come wid ye."

"Hey! He had his reason's alright!" Bailey snapped.

"C'mon we betta get goin." Blaze said walking to the door. "Ye betta hurry cuz I ain't waitin fer ye."

"Alright we're comin!" Christina said very annoyed with everyone.

"Don give me any attitude, de only reason alla ye was able te dress up was cuz of me an Scott, odda wise Spot wouldn'tve allowed it!"

"Could ye be a bit nica? We're celebratin derre boithday's hea! Spot wouldn't wanna ruin dat fer anythin in de woild an ye know it. So why doncha be just a lil mora nica er else y won't be seein yer boithday once I tell Spot how rude ye was!"

"Now you've done it," I whispered to Christina. "He ain't gonna like us afta dis. Specially me."

"Ooops, me bad." she laughed.

"Hey, whudd ye mean by dat?" I asked as she followed Blaze out of the Lodging House.

"Look, all I'm sayin is if he's got de money te buy ye rings, mebe he could do a bit mora wid it." Christina said giving me a funny look.

"Oh no ye don. I told im I didn't need one, it ain't me fault he went out an bought one. I ain't askin im te buy me anythin else dat I really don need." I said feeling guilty as I looked at the ring on my finger.

"Well he was willin te buy it for ye, he could be willin te buy ye something mora."

"No, I ain't doin it. Besides we ain't got money like youse do, remeba we sell papes te buy oua food."

"Just cuz I ain't a newsie doesn't mean I'm exactly rich."

"I ain't sayin yer rich. You ain't gotta worry bout eatin a meal everyday. Yer betta off den we are, besides me an Scott gotta make surre Kevin sells enough te eat too."

"Yea yea, well if yer thinkin of it me way Spot has te watch out fer ye too. Besides he'd be willin te buy ye yer food everyday if he needed."

"Would ye stop! I ain't askin im te buy me anythin. Besides he wouldn't even have enough fer an apartment why botha askin."

"Well if he does youse two could start a family a bit soona if ye know whudd I mean."

"Look I said no an dats final. Besides we ain't gonna start no family anytime soon."

"Alright, but ye know I ain't givin up. If Bailey can start one so can youse."

"Could ye two shudd up!" Blaze snapped "Yer givin me a headache!"

"Yea, I neva hoid goils argue dat much." Scott said giving us 'looks'

"It ain't me fault yer used te yer own voice arguin wid people." I laughed.

"Ha ha, real funny." Scott said sarcastically.

We got to Irving Hall not soon after leaving Brooklyn. Everyone was inside except for Jack. He was waiting on the steps for Bailey. It didn't look like he was waiting long since he seemed to have just lit a cigarette.

"I thought I told ye te quit." Bailey said as soon as she saw he was smoking.

"I am. Soon I think." he mocked.

"Ye know damn well I meant right then ye couldn't smoke no mora." She laughed taking the cigarette from him and putting it out.

"I just took it as 'ye can't smoke if I see ye smokin'" he laughed and kissed her. "Hey, Spot's waitin inside fer ye," he said pushing me to the doors.

"Alright, I'm goin, ye ain't gotta tell me ye want some private time alone." I said dragging Christina in followed by Scott and Blaze.

"So dis is whudd Irving Hall looks like." Christina said looking around.

"Well it usually ain't full of newsies all de time." I pointed out.

"Yea, I kinda figuaed dat one out meself."

As we walked to an empty table I looked around once again finding no Spot. 'Wonda where he is.' I said to myself.

"Hey, ye think mebe Sketch knows where Spot is? Sketch is ova derre." Christina said pointing him out.

"Mebe, ye wanna ask?"

"Well surre, c'mon."

As we were walking over to te table, I felt some one grab me around the waist. "Took ye long enough." Spot said hugging me.
