When Soda and Mush got back to the Lodging house everyone had started poker night. It was their annual poker night about once every month. They would all sit around and play poker. All the guys from Brooklyn would come and they would kind of have a celebration of being on top so you could say. When they walked in they found all the guys smoking around a table. The players were, Spot, Jack, Racetrack and Blink.
"Evenin' fellas." Soda said walking in with Mush. "Soda....Mush?" They were questioning looking at the two holding hands. "You betcha!" Soda said with a smile. "Man, I thought I'd neva see da day!" Racetrack said taking his cigar out of his mouth. Spot looked torn in a few ways. It was as if he wasn't trying to show it. "Well, what do you know?" He said with his voice quivering slightly.
"Spot, are you'se ok?" Soda asked walking over to him. "Yeh, why wouldn't Ise be fine?" He said turning back to his cards. "Well, you'se is sure acting strange." Soda said uneasily. Spot shook a little and waved to say he was ok. "If you'se sure youse is ok..." She said unsure. "Yeh." He replied. "Ok, let's get back to da game!" Race yelled over everyone.
Mush and Soda went on top of the roof holding hands. They sat near the edge. "Mush." Soda said turning to Mush. "There's something wrong with Spot and Ise don't know quite what it is, Ise tried askin' him but he just said he was ok. But I don't think so." Mush looked at her. "Well, Spot's tough, and I'm sure whateva it is Spot's gonna be ok. He's neva let anythin' get to him in da past and Ise don't see why he would now." Mush said.
"Are you sure? He looked really bad Mush, you oughta seen him, he looked like he was going to die in agony or somethin' he wasn't lookin' the same. Whateva it was, it must of been REALLY botherin' him." Soda said looking down. "Really, he'll be ok Soda, just don't worry. He told her. They both leaned forward and kissed without hesitation.

"WAKE UP CARRY DA BANNA!" Kloppman yelled waking all of the Newsies up. 'Aw, I shouldn't of stayed on the roof with Mush that late, my head is killing me!' Soda said to herself waking up. "Soda, honey wake up." Kloppman said next to her. "I'm up Kloppman. She said with a groan trying to stretch.
"I've never seen you like this Soda, what's wrong were you up all night or something because, you are usually the first one up and these guys are always the ones being woke up by you." Kloppman said in surprise. "Well, me and Mush were up on da roof last night talkin' very late." Soda told him. Kloppman just shook his head and walked to go wake up the others.

Soda started a walk to Brooklyn to see Spot. She needed to find out was wrong. He never acted like that and she really wanted to know what made him act like that. Once she saw Spot sitting up on his "Throne" she started to get nervous. She felt her stomach jump. Spot looked over and saw her. His eyes got a little wide and he looked over out at the water.
"Spot, could ya come down heah for minute please?" She asked. He hesitated but jumped down and landed right in front of her. "Spot we'se need to talk." She said quietly. "About?" He asked. "Well last ight you'se seemed upset. I've neva seen you dat way and so Ise was curious, what the heck was botherin' you so much?" She asked.
"Nothin..." He said folding his arms across his chest and walking toward the water. "Please tell me Spot!" She begged. "Soda, Youse wouldn't understand." He said. "Try me." She said putting her hyands on her hips. "I can't!" He burst out and ran toward the Lodging House. "Spot!" She called running after him but she ran into Snickerdoodle. "Sorry." She called and ran after Spot.
She finally caught up with him and tackled him on the ground. She held her hands on his shoulders and pinned him down. "Tell me." She said. "Ise can't." He breathed. "TELL ME!" She yelled at him. "FINE! I Love You'se Soda! Damn it I love YOU!
