"Are we THERE yet! My legs hurt...Hey Mar..wanna carry me the rest of the way?" Kelly said.
"Um...I am NOT lugging you all the way to Brooklyn ya oaf!"replied Maura.
"FINE!"
"Hey Kelly why don't ya get on me back? I'd be happy ta give ya' a lift." Skittery said.
After an hour and a half of walking, they finally made it to Brooklyn. They came to a long brown dock right near the Brooklyn bridge,where many teenage boys were diving into the water and swimming.
Maura suddenly gave Kelly a look that could mean one thing...HOT BOYS. She pulled her aside from skittery and Jack.
"Kelly! Look over there! At two o'clock!" she whispered. "Wow there are some handsome boys in this neck of the woods..." Kelly replied.
Jack and Skittery happened to see some of the guys eyeing Maura and Kelly.
"We better be careful Jacky Boy or one a dese' boys could take our goyl's from us." Skittery said.
"Yea I better warn da goyls to stay away from dem'."
Jack walked over to the girls who where standing at the edge of the dock.
"Umm goyls, for ya general safety i think it best that you don't chat wit da Brooklyn boys." He told them.
"Why not? they seem fine to me." Kelly said.
"Yea actually they seem pretty cute," Maura added watching curiously at Jack's reaction.
"Well dey' ain't cute. Dey are tough and not very friendly so don't you'se go taklin' to dem, ya hear?" he replied.
"Fine..ok. geez." Maura said. She smiled at his reaction.
The four of them walked further down when a boy with Sandy brown hair and a walking stick came up to Jack. He was wearing a grey cabby hat and had a slingshot in his back pocket. The smirk he wore across his face made him seem intimidating, even though he was shorter than most boys.
"Well if it ain't my old pals Jacky Boy and Skittery! Along with some fine lookin'ladies." he said.
"Hiya Spot. How ya been?" Jack said.
"I've been swell Cowboy. And what is your name sweetheart?" Spot asked Kelly.
"I'm Kelly and this is my best friend Maura." she said.
"Why I am da famous Spot Conlon and I run dese' parts. It is a pleasure ta meet ya." Spot said as he kissed their hands.
Skittery and Jack suddeny walked up closely behind the girls, showing their possessive sides.
"So Spot we just came ta introduce ya to da new newsie goyls. Dey are livin in da lodgin' house wit us now." said Jack.
"Well i think ill be comin' over dere' more often." Spot replied as he smiled at the girls.
"I have an idea. Why don't we'se get some lunch?" Skittery said, trying to change the subject away from the girls.
"Good Idea!" Kelly said.
After they ate, Skittery, Jack, Maura, and Kelly walked all the way home to Manhatten. Later in the evening, the girls dug through their small bags and found their nicest dresses to wear to Medda's.
"I am so excited about seeing a show tonight. I think we are gonna have so much fun." Maura said.
"I know. Jack and Skittery really know how to have a good time. Did you see how mad they were getting over Spot today? That was so cute" kelly replied.
"Oh i know!" she said as she buttoned up her dress.
Soon the girls finished dressing. They were wearing similar floor length dresses. Maura's was mint green and she wore half her hair pulled back with long flowing dark curls. Kelly's dress was lavender and she wore her hair down in tendrils.
Jack and Skittery came to the doorway.
"Woah! Hot and Heavy!...I..I mean You goyls look gorgeous!" Skittery said, with a blush forming on his cheeks.
"Yea definitely what he said," Jack said, not being able to take his eyes away.
"Why thank you boys." Maura and Kelly said together.
They left for Medda's. Two hours later they came home exhausted.
"Thanks boys we had a great time," Kelly said.
"Yea i loved it," Maura added.
"You're very welcome. We can take you goyls anytime," Jack said, "Well we all better get to bed.
Sweet Dreams."
"Yea goodnight'" Skittery said.
"Night," both girls replied.
