"Well I'm sures wes can give youse some money if needed." Mush offered. Taps rummaged through her pockets until she found what she was looking for.

"I've got a dollar!" she finally screaded.

"Where'd youse get that money?" Race asked curiously.

"Oh...uh...my pocket." The guys would kill to have an extra dollar everyday.

"Geez Taps, didya skip lunch or something." chuckled Fantasy.

"I had a to make up a test." she responded as Mush held the door open.

"Thanks." He smiled. She smiled and a squeal was heard.

"Mush!" a bubbly girl came up to him.

"Hey Kit Kat!" he hugged her. "This is Taps." And her sunken face was bright once again. "Taps, Kit Kat, shes a good friend of mine." Taps just smiled at her

"What's good to eat?" Jittery asked Skittery.

"A hot dog with everything on it." and he licked his lips. Jittery just smiled at him.

"Well that sounds good. Let's order!" she stated. She picked a seat near the window and sat down. Marsh, Tease, and Race joined them and along with a another girl. Her name was Taffee. Thats all that Tease heard from the converstation and something bout a strike.

Mush, Taps, Fantasy, Specs, and Dutchy sat at another booth. Fantasy overheard the other converstation. "So, you guys are in a strike?" she asked.

"Yep." Davey responded who pulled a chair at the head of the table. "Wanna support it?"

"Hey Davey can you shut up bout da strike for like and hoir?" Specs scolded him. "I wanna learn more bout da goils." His eyes looked directly into Fantasy's. It was like he was searching for her soul, freaky.

"Same here!" Protested Mush. He obviously liked Taps as well. But then Tease leaned over.

"Tell me everything the strike so far." A wide smile appeared on his face.

"At least someone appricetes it." he smugly stated and told everything up to the point were they are heading to Brooklyn the next day.

"You're going to see Spottie the Hottie!" Taps excited slipped. She wished she could take it back when she noticed the look on Mush's face. "Sorry, I heard it through the grapevine, never really saw him." she lied. And Mush gave a relieved look. Then waiter came around and took the orders. Taps wasn't really hungry so she didn't a thing. So, when the bill came around she paid for it. After all it was 92 cents for everyone.

"Are you sure?" the guys pestered her but she insisted on paying.

"Yes now stop pestering me before I change my mind." she smiled. Then Knots yawned. Which is contagious so Marsh, Taps, Davey, and Specsyawned before the group headed back to the lodging house.

"Ok who's sleepin where?" Jack asked.

"I got top bunk!" Taps squealed knowing, from the movie, full well that Mush had the top bunk.

"You can share with me. If you like." he asked her. She nodded. They climbed into bed and started to cuddle. In five minutes they were out like a light.

"Well I got the bottom." Marsh stated and looked in the direction of Dutchy.

"Youse aint getting my bed!" he shouted and layed down.

"Dutchy youse get out of that bed and act like a gentlemen befor Ise make you sleep on the fire escape." Jack screamed at him. Dutchy scrambled out of the bed and went to share a bed with Jake.

"Thanks." Marsh stated then hopped in to the warm bed. Jack then turned to Knots.

"You'se can have my bed. Its da top one right 'ere." She thanked him and he gave her a goodnight kiss on the cheek. Her stomach just migrated more butterflies.

"Ise sleep on the bottom bunk but Ise sharing with Blink tonight. He's right above mine." Race explained to Tease. He kissed her goodnight as well and hoped into the top bunk.

"Thats my bunk up there." Skittery pointed and started to walk away.

"We can share if you want." Jittery asked. He didn't hesitate to jump in with her.

"It's just me and you. I don't know bout you but Ise not tired." he told Fantasy.

"Same here." was her reply.

"Want to go for a walk?" Specs asked.

"Uh..."

DUN, DUN, DUN...do Specs and Fantasy go on a walk in the dark or...well you have to wait and see! lol Hope you liked this chapter...it was kinda fluffy but once in awhile you gave to get that muse out. please review!
