Disclaimer: I don't own Newsies. I own Knots. Milkshake owns Milkshake and Sparks is owned by Sparks.

"Sparks don't cry." Knots said suddenly feeling guily

"How can you expect her not too?" Milkshakes eyes were watering also and her voice was cracking. " I mean you're leaving us…. for money!" she practically shouted.

Jack had lost the game of poker and Knots had just broken the new to her two best friends. The three of them sat in the dully lit bunkroom that they had shared for almost two years before Knots was married. Knots was sitting in a wooden chair still in her clothes from the party and Sparks and Milkshake were sitting on the bed already in their night clothes.

"Listen I'm sorry…but Jack and I need to this. We need the money, the job, the opportunity to start settling down and doing something with your lives. I don't want to leave, honest! This has been tearing me apart and I wish I could take you two with me." Knots was having to fight her hardest to not break down and cry.

Neither Milkshake nor Sparks would look at her or respond. They just stared blankly at the floor.

"I know you two will come around, you'll be happy for me…I hope." She practically whispered the last part.

Hearing no response from her friends yet again she gave up. She slowly left the bunkroom and closed the door behind her.

"How'd it go?" Jack asked. He had waited for her in the hallway.

Knots shook her head still trying not to cry. "Yea Race didn't handle it too well either. We gotta go to Brooklyn tomorrow and tell Spot." Knots nodded. Jack pulled her in and hugged her tight.

"We're doing the right thing Knots. They would do the same." He sighed.

"How do you think he's gonna take it?" Knots and Jack were walking hand in hand across the Brooklyn bridge. They had paused for a moment in the very center of it and were looking out at the glowing view.

"I dunno." Jack shrugged. "The view really is great from up here." Knots put her arm around Jack's back and rested her head on his shoulder.

"I'm definitely gonna miss it." She stood back up straight. "we better get going so we can get back before it gets dark."

"Yea." Jack stood up, took her hand and the two continued on their walk.

"Hey Spot." Jack said to the Brooklyn leader who was sitting on his usual post.

"Kelly, Knots" he nodded. Spot was acting strange he didn't stand up and shake hands with Jack like he usual did and he didn't give Knots a hug.

Jack bit his bottom lip. "Listen Spot we'se got something to tell ya."

Spot raised his cane up motioning for Jack to Stop. He stood up and started pacing the docks a little bit.

"I already know Jack. You forget I've got my boids…and a girlfriend that lives in Manhattan."

Knots looked at Jack with a bit of a worried expression on her face and shrugged.

"Santa Fe." He sounded like was pondering the word. Like he didn't know if it was a place or an animal.

"Spot we…Knots and I…we need the money. We wanna have a normal life."

"We Just want to be happy Spot."

Spot whipped his body around to face the two of them.

"Happy huh….I've known you two for ever and you don't seem to have a problem with being happy. Heck you two are the happiest people I know…you're so happy it makes me sick." He said a little angry.

"Spot…." Knots said gently.

"You come and told me the news alright. You can go now." He walked back to his perch and sat down.

Knots looked down, hurt.

"C'mon." Jack whispered to her. They started to walk away but then Knots turned around one more time.
"Spot Please…. "

"Get out of here before I have someone help you out!" he yelled sternly.

Knots and Jack figured again that it was no use. They turned away…with their heads hung low to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, back to Manhattan, for one last time before they left.
