…Always a Brookie (Spot Conlon one-shot)

I do not own Newsies in any way.

Limbo became homesick shortly after Brooklyn.

She missed Gossip and her fearless leader.

The Manhattan lodging house was chaotic.

Limbo pulled out a piece of wood. "Once a Brookie, always a Brookie", she read.

Whittler had carved it for her before he left Brooklyn.


When the strike ended, she ran Jack to congratulate him, but stopped when she saw him kiss David's sister Sarah.

At that moment she realized she belonged in Brooklyn.

Spot started to leave.

Limbo had a second to decide. She ran to Spot. "Lim…" she cut him off with a kiss. Her heart belonged to the King of Brooklyn himself. "Once a Brookie, always a Brookie", she said softly.

"Ise couldn' agree moa", he said smiling. He kissed her this time.

The Brooklyn boys cheered for their leader and his new girl.

"Youse can take da goil outta Brooklyn, but youse will nevah take the Brooklyn outta da goil", Gossip said.
