I jumped up and walked to the edge. I slid over, gripping the gutter, and landed smoothly on the banister. Ipulled open the door and woke up the newsies.
"C'mon, guys! We gotta go to Walmart!" I yelled. Kid Blink looked up at me, blearily.
"The heck is Walmart?" he mumbled. I grinned.
"ou'll see. You guys, get in the car--the big green thing outside-- and I'll be out in a sec!" They jumped out the door, excited, and I bounded upstairs to wake up Prince Spot. Haha. Prince Spot.
"Oh, Spotty! Wake up, Sleeping Beauty! We're going to--" I broke off, and my face turned very red. I spun around, my hand clamped over my eyes.
"Aw, come off it. Ain't ya ever seen a guy without his shoirt?" Spot called. He was just overlooking one detail.
"Yeah, but not when he's n his boxers!" I replied. "Anyways, put your clothes on! We're goin' tah Walmart!" I said, racing out of the room. I slid to a halt. Shoot. "I'se gotta call Jen!" I grabbed the phone and punched in her number.
"Hello?"
"Jenny, is your mom home?"
"Who wants to know?"
"Jenny! Be serious! I need to come over, and I'm bringing something."
"Okay...But what are you bringing?"
"It's a surprise! Trust me, you'll love it!" I said, biting my lip so I wouldn'tburst out laughing.
"Tory, what are you--"
"See you in a bit, then!" I hung up the phone and raced to my car.
