Chapter 7: Your newsie name is Accent

"Come on Marie, Jenna is going to be late for her date!" Betty said smiling at Jenna.

"What?" Jenna asked confused.

"Your date, with Spot." trying to remind her of the previous night's events.

"I don't have a date with him." she said more confused than ever in her life.

"Yes you do. You made it right in front of Clara, Marie and me."

"Maybe in your point of view we do but me and Spot are meeting there as friends with our friends." Now using hand motions to convey her point.

"Sure, right." Betty said, knowing fully well that it was date.

"Ok, let's go." Marie said coming out of the bathroom and heading towards the door.

"Well, let's go, stop lagging Betty." Jenna said joking with her.

They got to Medda's and saw the guys sitting around some tables. Naturally Marie went toward Jack, Betty to Blink, and Jenna shyly made her way to Spot. He saw her, smiled and pointed to the seat next to him that he saved especially for her.

"Hey, how are you?" Spot said turning to face her.

"Good, still tired I'm afraid. I was up late because I couldn't sleep." she responded but he knew otherwise.

"Can I get you anything to drink?"

"Um, just water is fine." Spot nodded and got up and went to get her a glass of water. He came back and handed it to her.

"Thank you." She said smiling and their fingers brushing lightly against one another as he handed it to her. "O by the way. Some friends of mine are suppose to come tonight."

"Friends?" Spot asked fully knowing who these friends were.

"Ya, they're from my hometown and they're leaving New York tomorrow. So I thought it would be nice for all of us to spend one last night together." She said smiling. "They should be here soon."

They were talking and having a good time then some of the newsies noticed some men walked through the door.

"Who are they?" Pie Eater said all had turned to look at the men. They were all dressed in pants, shirts, boots and Jack's trademark, cowboy hats.

"O, they're here!" Jenna said excited jumping from her chair and practically running over to them. She ran into the arms of one guy and that had made Spot jealous. The night before this guy has also received a kiss from her. All the newsies watched with curiosity as to who these men could be. A minute later Jenna had brought them over to their table. "Fellows I like to introduce you to some new friends." Jenna had said all the names she could remember and when she didn't Spot helped her out.

"Thanks" she mouthed to Spot and gave him a smile. He gave a slight nod back, a little confused as to why she didn't introduce him. "And this is Spot Conlon. He's the Leader of the Brooklyn newsies." she said. "Did you know that there are different sections of New York?" She said with amazement. "But Spot is helping me learn them all." She beamed with pride. Spot got up and shook the mystery men's hands. "And this in Nathan, Bob, Matthew, Jim and Arnold." and they all nodded to the newsies. "Have a seat." she said as she resumed her spot next to Spot.

All the guys had gotten chairs and put them around the table. Of course Nathan placed his right next to her. Spot felt the jealousy rise again and put his arm around the back of Jenna's chair being in the protective mood and smiled to Nathan.

"So how do you know Jenna?" Spot asked not sure whether he could trust these guys or not.

"We grew up together. Our parents were best friends and it was natural for us to be, even if it was her." he said as he lightly punched her arm.

"Hey" she yelled and punched him back.

"That's cool." Spot said.

"Hey remember the shindig on fourth of July. You had gone up to all the girls to ask them to dance and they all said no because they all wanted to dance with Bob." she said and started laughing because she wanted to try and get back at him for his comment.

But he was too quick and said "O ya I remember that one. That was also the one you asked the married guy to dance with you." he shot back laughing and she gave a death glare.

"I was eleven and not even you would dance with me." she said with a slight laugher heard in her voice.

"So Spot, you're from Brooklyn?" Nathan said wanting to know if he could trust him with Jenna.

"Ya."

"I heard its a pretty tough place."

"Well let me put it to you this way, we're the most feared borough in New York." he said leaning on the back of his chair, with a poker face. Nathan was impressed at how well he was handling the situation.

"Well I need a drink. Fellows?" Nathan said. The guys stood and had gotten up to go to the bar. After a few moment someone spoke up.

"So you asked a man to dance and how old was he?" Jack asked quite amused with the story.

"Twenty-three." she said quite embarrassed.

"What?" Spot said laughing along with the others.

"I was eleven!" she said getting an Irish accent.

"I know that's why its funny." Betty said Jenna had grown red with embarrassment by now and the guys walked up with their drinks.

"Why, you're red as a tomato." Nathan said quite amused with her face color.

"Y'all are so mean." she said this time with a western accent and hid her face into Spot's neck. The arm that was around her chair now was on her back. He could feel the heat from her and looked at her as she tried to hide her face. He like the feeling of her being this close and smiled at the thought it could be like this forever. He squeezed her a little telling her it was ok, like telling a child. She looked up at him into his eyes and gave him a shy little smile and pulled back. Spot moved his arm back to the chair. "How much are you drinking?" noticing he had two glasses in his hands.

"As much as I want. You don't expect me not to have fun on my last night and baby sit you." he said smiling, he knew that she would take it as a joke.

"Ya know, I don't need no looking after."

"And that's why you got lost." Spot had thought it as a perfect time to make a joke. He looked at her with a questioning look and Nathan smiled knowing that she would be in good hands.

"Ok, fine so I got lost. But I did eventually get back." she said surprised that he made a joke like that but it made her smile knowing she made a friend.

"With my help." he said this time with a huge smirk.

"Fine, you helped me." and rolled her eyes. "Thank you" and gave him a kiss on the cheek. She looked at him for another moment then put her attention back to Nathan.

"So any big plans when you get home?"

"Just working the farm and finding somebody." Nathan said.

"Finding somebody? What happened to that girl who you were seeing before we..." She trailed off because she didn't want to talk about it in front of the newsies.

"Well I don't think she took it to lightly that we kind of had to leave. She didn't understand why we had to." Nathan knew the instant her voice lowered that he should say something immediately.

"I'm sorry. It's all my fault. If you didn't leave you'd still be with her." she said sadly and looking down at her lap.

"No, it's not your fault." he lifted her head gently with his index finger and thumb and newsies looked on, wondering what they were talking about. "Besides, if she can't understand me then I can't be with her. Now cheer up, and stop worrying I'll find someone." He smiled at her and she gave a weak smile back.

They were silent for a few minutes then all of a sudden the band started playing a lively Irish tune.

Jenna, Nathan and all the others looked to Bob, who had jumped up immediately. He was looking right at her.

"O no no no no no." She said shaking her head.

"O come on." he said walking towards her. "Get that cute little butt up off that seat. Right now. Let's go. I know you want to. Plus when are we going to have another chance to dance together?" Bob said knowing that will pull the strings connected to her heart. He pulled her out of her chair.

"Fine." she said willingly going with him to the dance floor. They got in their starting positions and then he took off twirling her with him. All the guys started watching, clapping and hollering at them. All the newsies were now looking upon them with interest especially Spot. Nathan saw this as an opportunity to talk to him.

"Hey Spot. Come over here with me." Nathan said.

"Ok." Spot responded not wanting to take his eyes off her but looked at her one more time before going. They headed towards the back where it was quieter but they could still watch the entrainment.

"What's up?" Spot asked.

"Well, as you know me and the fellows are leaving tomorrow and we're leaving her behind. We just want to make sure she's in good hands."

"No problem, I can keep a good eye out for her." he said. "But why are you so worried about her? She seems like someone who can take care of herself."

"I'm not going to tell you the whole story that's for her to tell but basically she blames herself for something she didn't do. Everything that is connected to it she feels she's the source to the trouble." They both looked at her. Her and Bob were laughing as they were circling the floor. "After what happened she knew she couldn't live back home. Its sad to watch really. Who she is now is only a little of who she really is. She use to be so caring and would do anything to anyone if they hurt any friend or family of hers. She had so much spirit in her. She was outgoing, one to never fear about anything, she would just go for it. She was tough but sweet and that made all the guys feel intimated. She was still a child and now she's all grown up and boring." He stopped and they looked back at each other. "Look just keep her safe, will ya."

"Don't worry. I'll have Brooklyn and Manhattan watch out for her." Spot said looking back at her.

"Ok well let's get back." They both walked back to the table and had gotten there at the same time as Jenna and Bob. Spot held out her chair for her and she sat down. They were enjoying themselves. Laughing, talking, catching up on old times. Jenna and the fellows got to learn a lot about the newsies and the newsies got to learn a lot about them. Nathan had gotten up and turned to Jenna. With a bow he stuck out his hand, and said "Would you care for one last dance?" Jenna looked at him and smiled.

"I would love too." Knowing that this would be the first and last dance the would have together. Nathan took her out to the floor.

"You know, I think you'll be alright here. Everyone seems nice and you seem to be making good friends." he smiled at her. "And remember if anything happens, you know how to contact me."

"Yes I remember. We've been through this about a hundred times already. I know."

"I know, I know. But you're like my little sister. I got to keep an eye out for you."

"And you're like the pesky brother I already had." she said laughing a little and Nathan gave her the stare. He looked around as they danced and spotted Spot watching them. They made eye contact and he gestured for him to come over. And he looked back to Jenna.

"Hey, and don't go breaking any hearts. I don't want to have to come and clean up your mess." He smiled.

"O I don't think you have worry about that. You know my luck and history with guys."

"I know and that's why I'm saying it." he chuckled lightly and she hit him on the shoulder. Jenna felt a tap on her shoulder and turned around to see Spot.

"May I cut in." he asked looking at Nathan. He nodded and stepped aside as so the two could dance.

"How are you tonight?" Jenna asked.

"Good good." Spot said, not really sure what to say at this point. "Your friends seem really nice."

"I know. I'm sad that they're leaving. They would do anything for me, I'm like their little sister and they're like my big brothers, always willing to protect me." She said with a huge grin on her face.

"You know, you always talk with different accents." he said. She started blushing. "Why?"

"Why?" she said trying to think of an answer.

"Ya, why?" he said looking at her while she was looking up for an answer. She was silent for a minute, while he kept looking at her.

"I don't know." she finally said.

"You don't know?"

"Nope. Ever since I could remember I've talked differently from everyone. I guess because I'm so proud of everything that I am, it shows through my voice." she said looking at him, not smiling and not frowning. "Or I think it's because I can pick up on accents very easily, but I highly doubt it because then it sounds fake." She said this time with a smile and he smiled.

"Well then I finally figured out your name." He stated.

"My name?" she asked confused.

"All newsies have a name."

"O, is that why everyone has such weird names." Spot smiled and nodded. "But I'm not a newsie."

"Well if you aren't a newsie but hang out with them you still need a name. And I Spot Conlon declare that your newsie name is Accent." he said beaming with pride.

"Accent?"

"Ya, because of your accents you speak with."

"Accent. I like it." she said smiling and gave him a kiss on the cheek. He looked at her and smiled even wider then what had been earlier. The two danced until the song was over and made their way back to the table, holding hands.

When they got back they all talked a little more, everyone learned Jenna's new name. After about an hour they all decided they had enough for tonight and they all headed in the direction of their destination. But before they left, Spot went up to Accent.

"Hey, I'll be back in four days to pick you up and show you around. Met me at nine." With that he gave her a kiss on the hand and joined the Manhattan newsies.

"Well Jenna or should I say Accent. We'll stop by at the bookstore tomorrow before we leave, don't worry." Nathan said. With that she gave all the fellows hugs and they headed off on their way.

Marie, Betty and Accent waited for Clara to finish her shift. "Well, well, well. This was a pretty interesting night. First she says that they were meeting as friends and the next thing we know she giving him kisses right and left." Betty said to Marie mostly but making sure that Accent heard it.

"So, we're friends. I always gave my guy friends kisses on the cheeks." Accent countered.

"Ok." Not really knowing if she now saw Spot as a friend or a love interest.

"So Accent? That's a cool name. I can actually see where he got it. You just went from Western to Irish in less than two sentences." Marie said.

"You know he said that everyone who's a newsie or someone who hangs out with them has one. What's yours guy's?" Accent asked.

"Well mine is FC, short for Fancy Clouds. Marie's is Green and Clara's is Entice."

"Interesting." She said looking up as if she was thinking. "So why don't you guys call each other that?"

"That is a good question. I don't know." Green said looking at Accent then to FC.

"Hey" Entice said coming up to them. "Ready to go?" With that they left to go back home.
