Brooklyn Baby (Spot Conlon love story) [ON HOLD]

Brooklyn bound

"Jade, Jade wake up" I opened my eyes and saw Spot standing over me.

"Five more minutes please" I whined.

"Did you forget something?" Spot asked.

"No" I mumbled.

"Ahem" Spot said "At Tibby's in the morning" Spot said imitating Jack's voice.

"Oh shoot" I said bolting out of bed.

"Hurry up and meet me downstairs" Spot said as he grabbed his slingshot and cane.

I went and got dressed and ran down the stairs to meet Spot.

"Alright come on Jacky boy will think we banned on em" Spot said taking me by the arm and running outside and across the Brooklyn bridge.

We were both out of breath by time we got to Tibby's Spot opened and held the door for me.

"Well look who finally decided to show up" Race said.

"Yeah sorry guys I slept in" I said tiredly.

"Yeah, yeah well your late baby sis" Jack said coming around the corner "And Conlon when are you ever late?"

"Hey we had a deal I got the girl and then I'd join" Spot said "So that means I'se can't take me eyes offa her"

"Ok well since we're here can we just break the tension please" I said sitting down at a table.

Spot sat down next to me which earned glares from all the Newsies.

"What?" Spot asked.

Jack glared and pointed to a seat on the other side of the room.

"Oh yeah?" Spot said as he put his feet on the table I snickered at his reaction.

Jack rolled his eyes and sat at the table next to Spot's and my's.

"Hey, hey, hey big time" Denton said walking in the door he put a paper down in front of Jack.

"Hey what ya got there Jack?" everyone asked.

"Where's me picture, where's me picture?" Spot asked.

"What are them words they all about us?" Boots asked.

"Hey look at yaself Jack you look like a General or something" Mush said putting his finger on Jack's picture.

"Would ya get your finger off me face?" Jack asked Mush.

"Where does it say my name where's my name?" Spot asked.

"Would ya quit thinking about yaself?" Jack asked Spot.

"You got us on the front page" David said to Denton.

"You got yourselves on the front page you just gotta make sure you stay there" Denton said.

"Alright lets have some ideas" Jack said.

"Well we have to show people where we stand" David said.

"Yeah so we gotta stay in the papes" Jack said.

"My papers the only one printing any Strike news so far" Denton said.

"So we should do something that's so big the other papers are gonna feel stupid if they try and ignore us" Jack said.

"How about like a Rally?" I asked.

Jack snapped his fingers and pointed at me.

"Yeah a Rally a Newsie Rally with all the kids from all over New York" Jack said "It'll be the biggest, loudest. noisiest blowout this towns ever seen"

"We'll send a message to the big boys" David said.

"Yeah we'll give em a message" Race said.

"Hey guys to our man Denton" David said.

"To our man Denton" we all repeated.

I sat down and Spot sat next to me.

"So what ya think you me Rally?" Spot asked me.

"Wouldn't dream of going with anybody else" I said.

Spot smiled and put his arm around me.

"Does Jack know?" Spot asked me.

"No he still thinks that I hate you" I said.

"Would he freak out if he knew?" Spot asked.

"Yeah he'd probably never let me out of his sight again" I said.

"You wanna head back?" Spot asked.

"Sure" I said.

"Hey guys I'm gonna head back!" Spot yelled.

"Alright see ya Spot!" Jack yelled.

Me and Spot walked back to Brooklyn. When we got there, I saw Shiner talking to Ajax.

"Hey guys whats going on?" I asked.

"Nothing much what have you two love birds been up to?" Ajax asked me.

"Strike business" Spot answered.

"Oh I'm surprised you can put up with ole Cowboy Spot" Ajax said.

"Yeah well I'se not you'se" Spot said jokingly patting Ajax on the back.

"What happened?" I asked.

"Oh him and Jack had an argument a few years back" Spot said.

"It wasn't a argument it was a...simple disagreement" Ajax said.

"Uh no it was an argument" Shiner said.

"Was not" Ajax said.

"Was to" Shiner said.

"Would you guys just tell me the story?" I asked.

"Gladly" Spot said "Ok well it all started when Ajax was a Manhattan Newsie"

"Wait you were a Manhattan Newsie?" I asked "How come I never saw you?"

"Your about to find out" Spot said "So anyway Jack told Ajax to watch you"

"Wait watch me" I said "How old was I?"

"Probably near 10" Ajax said.

"Ok so Ajax had agreed to watch you" Spot said "And he took you to Tibby's and you guys ate and had a good time. But, still Ajax had to sell papes so he told you to stand near him. Well you wanted to go somewhere and do something else and Ajax being the short tempered person he is told you to shut up"

"Ajax Anderson you told me to shut up?" I asked.

"You were nine and were bugging me" Ajax said.

"Stop interrupting" Spot said "So you got all pissed and decided to go off on your own. Well Ajax saw that you had runoff and went insane he was so desperate to find you but you were no where in sight. So he had no choice but to tell Jack that he'd lost you. Well Jack went psycho and told Ajax how insecure and irresponsible he was for losing you. Well Ajax made a dumb choice to tell Jack that he told you to shut up. So Jack got even more pissed off and soaked Ajax."

"I still have the scar" Ajax said pointing to his side.

"So eventually" Spot said "Jack found you with Race on his shoulders helping him sell papers. So Jack never spoke to Ajax again and Ajax came to Brooklyn."

I busted out laughing "So you were the one that lost me" I said.

"Yeah, yeah very funny" Ajax said.

"Him and Jack haven't talked to each other since" Shiner said.

"Wow for six whole years" I said.

"Yeah it was all we heard about for weeks" Spot said.

"Oh my gosh you guys kill me" I said wiping tears out from under my eyes.

"Come on Ajax spyings awaiting" Shiner said dragging Ajax with him.

"I think I'm gonna like it here" I said.

Spot smiled "I'se know ya will"
