things have changed Melanie is living the high her future is paved in gold

life she left behind and maybe even meet the guy of her dreams (cheesy I

"Extry Extry Mother found lost child after quite a while dead in a alley!" Yelled a newsie as he walked through central park holding a newspaper in his hand, waving it about as crowd gathered to find out more about the "headline" the newsie just created. "Excuse me sir, would you kindly sell me one of your papes?" Said the girl as soon as the crowd had left. "Oh geeze I'm really sorry but I'se sold all me papes with the last crowd." He said looking down at his feet apologetically. "Oh it is quite alright Mr. Uh." she said realizing that she didn't know the man's name yet he was quite good looking he had brown hair that was covered by a newsie cap and he wore the regular newsie entourage I just stood there staring until I realized I was staring. "Oh the name is Snoddy just Snoddy and yours is?" He said hold out his hand. "The name is Melanie Andrews." She said as they shook hands. "So do you know any other news boys?" She asked as they sat in a bench. "Shoa do." He said -man her eyes shine beautifully when the sunrays hit her eyes at a certain angle -he was brought out of his thoughts by her speaking again. "Oh well would you happen to know a newsie-oh wow I don't know his name but he is Italian and he loved gambling." She smiled remembering how he used to get annoyed when she forgot how to play. "Racetrack Higgins, yeah I know him is he in trouble or something?" Snoddy said with a sudden panic. "No no calm down we are just old friends. Well sort of we kinda lost contact when I moved away. Oh well he probably forgot about me." Melanie said looking down. "Oh well I am shoa he remembers you maybe you could pay 'im a visit I could take ya to see him if ya want?" Snoddy said hoping to spend more time with her. "I'm sorry but not today I told my father I would just go get a news paper and then head home so I better go." Melanie said getting up to leave. "Ok well if you ever want to talk you know where to find me." He said getting up and walking back to the lodge house still dazed about the girl. Maybe Race could tell him more about her.
~*~*~*~*~*~Lodge House~*~*~*~*~*~
As Snoddy walked in the lodge house he still had pictures of Melanie dancing through his head. He had to know more about her he had to find Race! Just then his friend Dutchy came up to him. "Heya Snoddy how was sellin?" Dutchy asked standing in front of Snoddy. "Hey Dutchy sellin was good you wouldn't happen to know where Race is would you?" Snoddy asked with a bit of urgency in his voice. "Um yeah I think he's upstairs on his bunk, why?" Asked Dutchy still standing there. "I need to talk to him about someone." Snoddy said and with that he bound up the stairs to the bunkroom. Once he was in the bunkroom he went straight to Races bunk and Dutchy was right there was Racetrack examining a cigar of his before sticking it in his mouth. "Hey Racetrack I was wondering if you ever remembered having a friend named Melissa no Melanie Andrews?" He asked sitting on the bunk right next to Racetracks. "Yeah I know her." Race said and continued giving all of his attention to the cigar in his mouth. "Well?" Snoddy asked a little annoyed at the answer Racetrack gave him. "Well what? We were good friends she moved away and forgot about me and her friends that's it end of story now if you don't mind I would like to smoke my cigar in peace." Race said not trying to hide his annoyance with Snoddy for even mentioning Melanie, but then again who could blame the poor guy he was smitten with her just by looking at his face when he said her name. "Fine Race goodnight I am getting some rest." Snoddy said walking away. "Moody!" Race called after Snoddy instantly Snoddy turned around and looked at him. "What?" "Moody was her nickname before she moved we gave it to her cause she was so goddamn Moody." Race said a smile forming at his lips as Snoddy came up took his place on the bunk across from Race again. They continued with Racetrack giving him little facts about Melanie till Kloppman came up and of course yelled "Lights out!!" Then Snoddy said night to Race and headed to his bunk for some sleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~Melanie's Home~*~*~*~*~*~
As Melanie sat on her bed in her room she thought about Race and all the other newsies that she left behind. It's not like she tried to forget about them it just sorta happened she made new friends and she new she had to move on. She didn't know that she would move back here tomorrow she decided to go see Snoddy and ask him he he could take her to the lodge house to go visit Race and apologize to him. ~*~*~*~*~*~Next Day~*~*~*~*~*~
Around 11 o 'clock Melanie left the house for a stroll in Central Park hoping to run into Snoddy again. It was more crowded then usual, but it was a gorgeous day so who could blame them. As she neared the park she heard the sound of a newsie yelling out the headlines. So she scanned the area looking for Snoddy she saw the newsie that was yelling out the headlines, but it wasn't Snoddy so she just decided to ask if maybe that newsie knew Snoddy. As she walked up to him and tapped on his shoulder now she wished she hadn't. "Hello Mr. Higgins." Melanie said when she saw the face of the newsie and instantly looked down at her feet. "Melanie." Racetrack said in acknowledgement. "Long time no see. Ha." She said trying to make conversation. "Listen-" "Look I am so sorry for everything I should have forgotten about you and the newsies but I had to go on with my life it was driving me crazy knowing everyday I would never see you again I would never hurt you race you are like me brudda! Please forgive me." She said staring in the eyes of a deeply shocked newsie. "Race say somethin please." She said slipping into her Manhattan tongue. "Well I guess I can't be mad at you you are like me sista. Get ovah heah and give me a hug Moody!" He said with his grin. She smiled at the use of her old nickname and hugged him without hesitation. "Hey so I's heah ya got me buddy Snoddy all smitten ovah youse." He said staring into the eyes of his old friend. "Really you mean he really likes me, not that I like him or anything." She said. "Right well yeah he likes ya and what is with these dresses! The Moody I knew would soak anyone who tried to put her in a dress." He said taking a look at her outfit and trying not to laugh but it wasn't working and Moody instantly shot him a glare. "Come on Race it ain't that funny!" She said in a weak attempt to get him to stop laughing at her. "Yeah it is come on kid I will take ya back to the lodging house to get ya some of your old clothes you left behind." He said as they walked back. "oh and I swear if youse call me kid again I will soak ya!" She said as she playfully started to punch him. "Shoa put 'im up kid." He said as they playfully started punching each other as they were heading to the lodge house.
