Enter Brooklyn/King of New York

"Spot! Spot! They got Crutchy!" She was running down the rows of crates to get to Spot. He got up and met her half way.

"Alley calm down. Calm down! Tell me what happened." She buried her head into him. "I…he…they…I couldn't stop…I could have helped him." She backed away from Spot and ran.

"Alley! Alley! Shadow, O'Reily, Dust go get her, make sure she doesn't do somethin' rash!"

He walked to his little alley away from home. What happened in Manhattan? What made her so hysterical? She was on the verge of tears which or course she never showed around Brooklyn Newsies. He missed the days when she'd run to him and cry, just let it all out. Well that hadn't happened for some years now. Not since their resident pickpocket and messenger had died. She never was too good at not showing her emotions but now she just ran. He hated that. His kitten, his Tru, just ran away from him. He had to think of a way to get her to stay to get her to be more like a women more like the girl he knew when they were children, but he knew that would never happen they had changed. He had changed, he loved her with all his heart, but he was so sure she didn't feel the same. The older he got the more he became determined to protect her. He knew she hated being called his girl, but he knew it was true. He knew the other Newsies knew his only weakness was her. He got up as Shadow came up to him.

"Spot, we found her. Dust and O'Reily are trying to talk to her but she won't talk to us. She wants you."

"I'm coming."

She was sitting in a alley and black cat in her arms, her tears dry. Dust and O'Reily were keeping watch for Spot. She hated to admit it, but she really was his girl. She really did love him, as more then just a friend as more then just a brother. She hated being his weakness though and she had tried so hard to change her emotions, become closed. She couldn't do it, but at least she could get away from the guys and collect her thoughts before they found her in tears.

"Alley…" She was pulled away from her thoughts.

"Yay, I'm fine now Spot. I'm sorry. I just lost it! The coppers came and well all I can say is Jack's boys are serious. Oscar and Morris took Crutchy. I wish I could have…"

"Alley if you had you'd be in the refugee right now."

"I know but Jack is gonna go with Dave to get Crutchy, but I know Crutchy won't come. He's stubborn!"

"Yay he is, but you know you couldn't have done anything right?"

"Yes I know but still I wish I could've."

"Well keep your skin safe."

"I guess, but Spot their serious you have to help them.You have to… to come tomorrow. Please!" She hated begging and she hated pleading but the thought of Crutchy in the refugee and the way the Delancey brother had taken him made her skin crawl.

"Alright Alley, I'll sleep on it. But come on it's time to get some selling done." She nodded and the headed off in separate directions to sell papes.

She traveled of the Brooklyn bridge around 4:30 the next morning so she was there before Spot and the others. She knew they were coming.

The boys walked into the distribution area. Race went to the back doors and the Bulls came out! Alley backed away towards the gate as the fighting started. She was hoping to God she wasn't wrong about Spot. Out of nowhere she saw a marble fly. "Brooklyn!" She pulled out her sling shot and started her own assault and the men around her. She got hit only once and by then Spot was next to her and that guy was down for the count. When all had cleared Denton took their picture. She didn't think much of the picture until later.

"We made the front page. We made the front Page! Spot!" She couldn't believe Denton had gotten them on the front page. They of course burst out into song the only change for her was…She was a Queen just for the day.

a/n: Yea I know kinda fast for the end there but there isn't really too much to say other then what we all know they wanted. Again I don't own anything but Alley and her relationship with Spot. I just don't own Spot. Though I wish I did. :hugs invisible Spot doll: Mine. Okay thanks to my reviewers. It's getting to the fun chapters. Oh by the way I have a prequel to this little story. It's called History best left Forgotten. It's in the beginning stages but it'll give the total back story to Spot and Alley.
