He ran with his ticket in hand to the betting table and exchanged it for his money. He came back to the bleachers with a handful of money, laughing hysterically.

"How'd you manage to pick the one that was gonna win?" muttered Specs, shaking his head at him with a small smile.

"Pure luck, my friend," he said, smelling his money before tucking it safely away in his vest pocket. "Wanna go another round?"

"One more, c'mon," said Specs, suddenly feeling determined as he headed towards the booth. "Your turn?"

"My pleasure," he said, taking out two dollars and placing his bet on another horse whose name he liked the best.

"Thanks, buddy," chuckled Specs, choosing a completely random horse and leaving it up to chance.

Skittery walked back to the bleachers, still experiencing the rush of winning and loving the feel of the money in his pocket. "Man, this is turning out to be a great day," he said, patting Specs on the back.

"If I wasn't with you, I'd just be grumpy," laughed Specs, running over to the bleachers and waiting expectantly for the race to start.

"Hey, maybe then someone else would be the glum and dumb one besides me! Not that you're dumb..." Skittery mused as he held his ticket tightly in his hand.

Skittery smiled but was incredibly anxious. The gin sounded and the horses ran out of the gate. He yelled as his horse immediately took the lead. He didn't like that, for they rarely won when that happened. But this time, he was proven wrong. He laughed and cheered as his horse won. Again.

"Okay, now that's not fair," laughed Specs, shaking his head at his friend. "How'd you do that?? Seriously?"

Skittery was laughing like he had been earlier. He couldn't believe this was happening. He ran back to the betting table to pick up his winnings, rejoining his best friend with a handful of cash. "It's just my lucky day!"

"Yeah, and it's 'cause you're with me, that's why," smirked Specs as he watched his friend take his winnings. "You better not spend all that at once, Skitts!!"

"I won't, I promise," he said with a proud smile. "One more round, or you wanna give up?"
