Oh yea, everyone should know that I really like to saythe part when Spot says to David: "Oh yea, yea, what is dis, some kinda walkin' mouth?"... just letting you know!
Chap. 6
For a while we lived just fine. I would sell with Mush, Three would sell with Jack, Dolly and David would sell together, and Copper would usually sell with Racetrack. Over the first couple of days after the "incident" we had all become close friends with Race. In the afternoons, we would go to Tibby's and meet everyone to eat. During the evening, Spot would come to out Lodging House to meet Copper and take her out. He would never let her meet him in Brooklyn, "too dangerous" he would say, Copper told us with a laugh.
Copper, Three, and I were mostly ok with being in the wrong year and everything else, but Dolly seemed to be having problems. The only times that she seemed to be really, truly happy was when she got back from her dates with David. One day at the Lodging House, Dave and Dolly had just gotten back from a late night date. David decided to just stay there for the night. He didn't want to disturb his family by coming in late. I was talking to Dolly about the date.
"How was yer date?" I asked.
"Oh, it was great." Said David, who had just walked out of the washroom, cutting into our conversation.
I remembered then an old memory that I pulled way out of my head, from the movie. I walked up to David and tried to sound intimidating when I said:
"Oh, yea, yea? What is dis, some kinda walkin' mouth?"
I thought it was hilarious, and it was even better than just saying it before, because I actually got to say it to David! Someone didn't like it much, though.
"How dare you say somethin' like dat to David!" Dolly yelled, acting totally out of character from her usual bubbly, peppy self.
I didn't know what to say. "S-s-sorry. I just wa-wanted ta-"
"I don't care whatcha wanted ta do! Just go away."
I went over to the washroom to get ready for bed when Mush came over, who was soon followed by Three. We all sat down.
"Sweets, what didja do ta Davey?" Mush asked.
"I was just jokin' 'round, and I actually offended Dolly." I said slowly, still dazed by Dolly's strange reaction.
"Maybe it'll just blow over soon." Three reassured me, "You know how strange she has been acting lately."
"Yea, I hope ya right." I said, leaning my head on Mush's shoulder.
When I walked back to my bunk, all of my things were everywhere. I looked around to see who did it, but I already knew the answer.
"Dolly." I said quietly under my breath.
a/n- oh no! dundundun! haha Didja like it! This one was probably the shortest one that I have, so that's why I put in 2 chapters today, just to tide everyone over! haha
