The next morning Casey was woken up bright and early by Jack. "Get up, we're goin' to see Spot today 'member? Go and get dressed." Jack said with a warm smile. "Yeah yeah." Casey said sitting up rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.
"Mornin' sunshine." Mush joked as he walked past her. "You guys are still the same, with your friendly good mornin's huh?" She said walking into the washroom. "Always always." Snipeshooter said brightly climbing into the bucket as Crutchy pulled the water spiget.
Casey examined her face in the mirror and washed her face. "Pass the towel will ya Skittery?" Casey asked. "For a buck I might." Skittery said throwing her the towel. "Thanks." She said drying off her face. "Well, are we ready to go? Or are we to busy worrying about our girl hygiene?" Jack mocked and stroaked his hair in a girly manner.
"Get a life Jack." Casey said rolling her eyes and leaving the washroom. She grabbed her hat and headed down the stairs. "See ya fellas!" Jack called behind them. Mush then came out of the wash room and walked up to Rinoa. "Wanna sell with me today?" He asked with a smile.
She smiled back and went out of the room with him. They went and bought their papers and set out for the harbor. "Guess Blink will be takin' Bottle Alley today huh?" Rinoa laughed adjusting her papers under her arm. Mush laughed. "Guess So."

"What's up Jacky Boy?" Spot asked spitting and shaking with Jack. "Um, I brought this goil with me see? She's one of me Newsies. We need to toughen her up. You think ya can handle it?" Jack asked.
"Ok, ok, don't get wise. Sure I can. Just give me a couple of weeks and I should have ya a wall of steel by then." He said eyeing Casey. "Alright. I'll come and get her about dawn then. Thanks." Jack said spitting and shaking again and walking down the docks.
"Ok, let's start this then. Take this sling shot and never lose it got it?" Spot said thrusting a sling shot at her and walking down the docks. "Hey fellas clear out!" He yelled over their voices. They all got up out of the water and went to the lodging house.
"Quite some control you got there for as small as you are compared-" Casey was cut off by a glare by Spot so she just shut up. "Alright now that we're here shoot." Spot said pointing to the bottles set up. "You want me to shoot this?" Casey asked staring at the sling shot blankly. "No. I want ya to dance with it. Ofcourse you shoot it! Duh!" Spot said hitting his head in a "jeez how stupid are you?" kinda way.
"Jeez, you don't have to be so hoity toity about it." Casey said adjusting a marble onto it and shooting it. It hit it directly. She gave Spot a cool smirk. "Beginners luck. Do it again." He said tossing her another marble. She caught it and set it on the Sling shot. She shot it again and it hit the second bottle directly.
"How'd you learn to shoot like that?" Spot asked confused. "Well..Jack left out a single detail. I ran out on them 5 years back and went out on my own. So I picked up a few things." Casey said shooting another marble and hitting the final bottle. "You're a better shooter than a lot of me own Newsies." Spot admitted.
"Really? Well in Manhattan I don't hear things like that." Casey said putting the Sling shot on the belt of her pants. "I don't see why you need help. You seem to know the ropes." Spot told her.
"I just get scared by nightmares. I dream about some bad things sometimes, so I get scared." Casey said. "Nightmares? They're typical." Spot said leaning against the wall. "What do ya dream about anyway?" He asked. "I dream about this fire I was in a long time ago." Casey said shortly.
"I see." Spot said looking up at a bird flying over them. "Yep." Casey said leaning against the wall.

"I can't believe you finished before me!" Mush yelled throwing his last paper at her. "Sorry if you're so slow!" Rinoa taunted. Mush chased after her and tackled her onto the grass.
They layed next to each other and smiled. Suddenly Rinoa frowned and sat up. "Mush I've been wanting to tell you something." Rinoa said picking at some of the grass.
"What?" Mush asked sitting up. "I...uh...I love you."
"Mornin' sunshine." Mush joked as he walked past her. "You guys are still the same, with your friendly good mornin's huh?" She said walking into the washroom. "Always always." Snipeshooter said brightly climbing into the bucket as Crutchy pulled the water spiget.
