Just-Penni - Tanks for thinking that my story's cute! huggles Penni I totally agree that I made him cute and gentlemanly, but we all know that it would never happen. looks doubtfully at the audience Right?

hobbit1400 - Glad you like the story so far. I must admit that I thought it wouldn't be that great of a story when I started it (cause Spot is not my favorite), but the story has grown on me and now I love it! Happy that you can read it and enjoy it!

RealDramaQueen817 - I'm so happy you really like this. Yes, I think this is really going in the right direction. Seeing as Spot and Perch are getting close, that can only mean good things right. :P

mistymixwolf aka Perch - falls out of seat at the meer thought of Spot being a gentleman Sorry, still strikes me as hilarious seeing as in my eyes, he could never play the part as one. But there is always room for improvement!

coolgrl123 - giggles Glad you like! As you can see...I am for sure updating! grins and dances with plushie Skittery

elleestJenn - I'm not really going for a mean Spot in this one. He was just grumpy! He's moody in the movie, so let him be moody in my story. :P

Tears in a Bottle - sniggles too You were right, I don't like Spot that much. But, since I'm writing a story about him and my friend, then I have to be nice to him. Besides, I don't hate him, I just like to mess with his mind. :P It's way too much fun to leave Spot's brain alone! Hmmmm...walks around Spot staring intently at his eyes while in the process really freaking him out I never noticed his ears before! But you're right! They are a bit big aren't they? You are very observant. :P

It makes my day brighter! Hope you all like this next installment of Comes With The Snow! bows and backs out of the room dragging Spot and Skittery with her

Chapter Three

Several weeks later, Spot and Perch were walking along the docks enjoying another good day of selling. It was a little warmer, but snow still covered the ground. Most of the newsies, including Jockey, were either back at the LH or visiting Tibby's and enjoying a nice bowl of soup.

"So, Perch, how do ya like bein' a newsie? Youse gotten really good since youse foist day."

Perch beamed at him from where she stood watching the bay. "Tanks Spot! I likes it a lot. I don't know what I'd do iffen you woulda nevah found me that night." She turned back to the bay.

Spot stared at the girl for a few minutes before getting a rather mean idea. A very mischievous gleam slowly entered his blue eyes as his gaze traveled between a soft pile of snow and the girl standing in front of him.

"Hey Perch?"

"Hm…?" She turned toward the boy.

"I tinks youse bettah run!" Spot grinned at the bewildered girl before stooping to pack the loose snow at his feet into a ball.

"Run? Why should I… eeek!" Perch's eyes widened with the realization of what Spot meant before she took off in the opposite direction of Spot's missile.

Spot gave a loud laugh before launching his snowball after her fleeing figure. It caught Perch in the middle of her back.

"I's gonna getcha Perch!" He laughed and took after her in a bull-like charge.

Perch screeched as her feet hit a patch of ice and slipped out from under her. She fell onto a soft drift of snow and scrambled to free herself from its feathery, wet grip. But, it was all a lost cause. She squealed as Spot grabbed her around her middle and pinned her down. He looked down at her with laughter shining in his eyes and spilling from his wide grin.

"You ain't goin' anywheres!" He pulled her back when she tried to crawl away.

Perch laughed and rolled over so that Spot was now sitting on her stomach and laughed before realizing the position they were in. A warm blush crept up her neck and spread to the rest of her face. It was so warm that Perch thought she felt the snow melting beneath her.

All humor had left Spot's face and was replaced by something she couldn't quite place when she finally found the courage to look him in the face again. Perch felt her heart flutter as Spot gazed down on her softly and leaned closer. She couldn't keep herself from glancing nervously at hiss lips as they got closer and closer to hers.

"Perch…" He whispered halting nervously.

She looked up at him, her eyes full of curiosity. "What Spot?"

He leaned closer to her surprised face. His lips brushed hers lightly before he leaned back and smirked mischievously at her.

"Eat me snow!" He grinned evilly and rubbed a handful of the cold stuff in her surprised face. He rolled off the sputtering girl and lay laughing up at the sky.

"Is dat cold, Perch?" His question was interrupted by his laughter.

"Oh? You tinks you is so sneaky!" She spit out the last of the snow. With a quick flick of her wrist, she shoved a large snowball down Spot's back.

Spot's eyes widened as the cold slush that ran down his back. "Ah! Dat's cold! Really cold!" He jumped from the snowdrift and danced around trying to get rid of the snow.

Perch watched this show with fascination. It wasn't every day you got to see the tough leader of Brooklyn dancing in the road, screaming about something cold. Perch couldn't help it anymore. She snorted as her laughter finally fought through to the surface. She rolled around in the snow holding her sides and gasping for breath.

Spot finally freed his coat from the cold snow inside it. He turned and narrowed his eyes at the cackling girl in the snow. He pounced on her and shoved a handful of snow down the front of her coat and shirt.

"Hey! How'd ya like me ta shove ice down yer pants! That boins!" She tried frantically to get the quickly melting snow out of her shirt.

Spot sat back and laughed at her less then amused face. "Youse okay Perch!"

Perch leaned back with a huff as the last of the melted into her clothes. Her lip stuck out in a pout as she pulled her knees to her chest. "Tanks, I tinks." She grumped at him from her little corner of the drift.

Spot gave a laugh before becoming quiet and thoughtful. Suddenly, he jumped to his feet and pulled Perch up to join him.

"Come on, I want ta show ya sumptin'!" Spot gave her a bright smile before taking her hand and leading her into the heart of Brooklyn.
