"How long you been livin' 'round heah?", Blink asked as soon as they left the lodging house.
Kitten looked up at him. She knew there was some weird connection between Spot and herself. However at this moment, she felt the same connection she had with Spot with Blink. Maybe it was just because she had never been around males except her father.

Her father was the reason she did not believe in love. Her mom loved her dad and look where it got her! Dead, that's where it got her.
What if she fell in love and she got hurt? She had too much pain in her life already. The last thing she needed was more.

"I'se been heah for eleven years.", she said after a minute of thinking.
"I seen ya a few times in da mornin' wid your friends."
Kitten let out a small giggle,"My friend Twigs gotta crush on Jack."
Blink smirked.
Everytime he smiled it made her want to melt.
"Jack likes her his-self."
Kitten stopped walking. "He does?", she asked questionably.
Blink lifter her off the ground. He decided to carry her the rest of the way home so she could save up her strength.
"yeah, we notice you'se all da time. I kinda had me eye on you for awhile."
Kitten blushed. No one ever said anything like that to her. It felt nice to know someone liked her.

The rest of the way to Kitten's home was silent. Kitten did not know how to respond to his last comment. People would not think so but Kitten had a shy side to her.
When they reached the apartment building Blink gently set her down on the steps.
"Will I eva see ya again?", he asked afraid he would not get an answer.
Kitten grinned with glea.
"Sure ya will. I won't tells ya when but ya will."
"Aight den." he said as he lightly kissed her cheek.
Kitten blushed an even deeper red.
They looked at each other in silence. They seemed to both be in a world all their own.

Twigs was just making her way up the walk when she noticed Kitten standing in front of their apartment.
She did not wait two seconds before running up to her with arms wide open.
"Kit!", she exclaimed."Where ya been? I went lookin' for ya but you wasn't in any of your places."
She hugged Kitten tightly.
"I'se helped out a friend sellin' papes."
Twigs backed away from her,"I didn't know it would take so long ta do dat."
Kitten lifted up her skirt a bit to show Twigs her leg.
"I fell and got hoit when old man Gumble trew me out taday. Not ta worry dough, Blink and da odder newsies took care a me."
Twigs clapped her hands together.
"You met da newsies, what was dey like??", she asked excitedly.

Twigs then noticed Blink standing in front of Kitten.
"Where are me mannas? I'se Daisy but me friends call me Twigs.", she spitted into her hand and offered it to him.
He spitted into his own hand before he shook they shook hands,"Da names Kid Blink. You can jus' call me Blink like da odders."
Kitten stiffled a giggle.
They all said goodnight to each other. They all needed to rest up for the long day that awaited them.

Once Twigs and Kitten were in their room Kitten decided to tell her about Jack.
"Twigs, ya know that newsie ya got a ting for? Well, I hoid he gots a crush on you."
Twigs smiled broadly.
"Dey all notice us every mornin'. Den again, who wouldn't wid da way you gawk at 'em"
Twigs rolled her eyes as she laid back in her bed.
"Can we talk ta dem tomarrow?", she asked.
"Sure, if it'll shut ya up."
Kitten yawned. Twigs kept on asking questions even after Kitten fell asleep.
Tomorrow was going to be an even bigger day then this one had been. Things in their lived were about to become twisted and things for the 5 friends would never be the same again.
