Chapter 6: Lindi Makes Plans
Later when Spot left the girls with his sister
"Soooo, do you like my brothah, Manders?" Lindi asked formulating a plan.
"Why do you ask?" Connie asked slightly confused, "And my name's CONNIE!"
"Oh, no reason in particulah." Lindi stated grinning madly.
"I don't understand why you'd want to know, well, I mean other than his being your brother and all." Connie said knowing something was rotten in the state of New York.
"Well, ya know. Spot doesn't have a goil-friend, so I was wondahin' if youse might like 'im 'cause I'se might be able ta set youse up wit' him."
"Well, yes, I do kinda like him." Connie finally replied quietly.
"Good, very good." She replied rubbing her hands feverishly together. "The stage is being set!" she exclaimed under her breath.

"Jack, I hope Lindi doesn't get any ideas 'bout getting' Connie and I togethah." Spot said worried about his sister's knack of doing things he didn't want her to do.
"Well, I can't exactly help ya dere, Spot. Your sistah listens to me less den she listens ta youse."
"Yeah, but I'm shoah one of your newsies don't have a goil-friend."
"What's so wrong wit' Connie?" Jack inquired curiously." I mean she's really nice an' pretty an-"
"Dat's what's wrong wit' her! She's too good for a guy like me. She's better suited for someone like Davey!" Spot exclaimed forlornly, knowing he already liked Connie but couldn't ever have a chance at dating her.
"No, Spot, just because she's nice doesn't mean dat she's too good for you'se. Dat probably means she's just poifect for you'se." Jack responded sounding philosophical.
"But I can't let her thing I have my sistah find my dates, she'll t'ink I'm an idiot and that I son't do things for myself." He said sinking down to the curb.
"Then ask her out 'fore your sistah does that for you'se." Jack said, just now realizing how much this girl meant to Spot even after meeting her only two days ago.
"If only it were dat easy." Spot retorted disdainfully, his head in his hands.
"It's as dey say, 'It's better to have loved and lost then to not have loved at all.'" Jack said ever-so-scholarly.
"Yeah, but she's not a street rat like me!" Spot said depressed.
"Quit puttin' yaself down. Just ask her, the only thing she can do is say 'yes' or 'no'." Jack said exasperated by Spot's beating himself up.
"So would ya like me ta hook ya up wit' him?" Lindi said, sure Connie would say yes.
"Well," Connie hesitated, her heart fluttering at the thought, "I-I guess so, but don't tell him I said you could because he might think –"
"He won't." Lindi cut her off, "Anyway he thinks... very highly of you." She finished with a smile.
"Really?!!?" Connie squealed unable to control herself, then after realizing that she said that out loud she blushed an embarrassed blush.
"Uh-huh, yep, yes, very much so." Lindi grinned. 'This is all going according to plan.' She thought with a smile.
"Wow!" Anne said in a hushed voice. 'He hasn't known her for very long. Maybe they're meant to be. I should talk to Lindi later when Spot comes." Anne thought, beginning to enjoy the idea of matchmaking.
"Spot! I'm serious. She probably adores ya." Jack said exasperated by his best friend's efforts at convincing himself that he was not worthy of a girl like Connie.
"No, she probably only sells papes 'cause she has to because her friend, Anne, most likely has a crush on Race."
"Oh, That's no reason ta beat yaself up. Jus' ask her. I'se shoah she don't bite." Jack said, when suddenly an idea hit him like a ten pound sack of potatoes, "You'se bettah ask her or else I will ask her for you!" Jack said menacingly.
"Bu-"
"NO! Either you ask her or I will do dat for youse." Jack snapped, sounding sharper than he meant to. "So tell me now do you want to ask her or do you want me to ask her?"
"I'se will ask her." Spot answered, his pride beginning to swell at the insinuation that he couldn't ask a girl out.
"Good." Jack growled. "Now go ask that goil out 'for I soak youse." He added frostily.

"Lindi 'Crazy' Conlon, I 'se needs ta talk to youse!" Spot shouted trying to sound like himself.
"What?! I didn't do nuthin' to youse," Lindi scowled and then added under her breath, "yet."
"Jus' come heah an' talk with' me 'cause I'se need ta talk to ya." Spot said exasperated by his twin.
"Ok, Ok, I'se will talk to youse." Lindi said noticing the slight edge in his voice.
"Good." Spot grunted. Once pulling her aside he asked, "Do you know where Connie is? Does she like me? Would she go out wit' me? Lindi, you're not helping me!" Spot let out in one breath, wanting to shake his sister.
"Hold yer horses, lemme at least heah da question 'fore I answer it. Connie is selllin', she does like you, and yes, I t'ink she would go out wit' youse." Lindi said with a smirk, "Satisfied now?"
"Yes, Now I will ask her out." Spot exclaimed excitedly.
"Ask who out?" A shocked Spot whirled around and was face to face with Connie.
"Uh... well... uh...you." Spot stammered.
"Really?" Connie asked shocked as well.
"Yeah so... uh... will youse?" Spot asked quietly.
