He's here...
Chapter 4
The cousins finally arrived at the theater. Mona was the happiest because in Germany they really didn't have many social gatherings.
"Mona!" shouted a familiar voice from across the room. It was Race, he was playing poker with some other newsies. Mona looked at Ryan and he smiled, signaling her that it was alright to go to him.
Mona ran to Race at the poker table. He smiled at her than looked back at his cards.
"It's nice to see you again." said Mona wondering why a silly game was more important. "So what are you doing?"
"Playin' poka." Race's quick answer got Mona flustered.
"What's that?" asked Mona.
Suddenly, the whole place went quite and stared at the petite European girl asking what poker was. Who DIDN'T know what poker was?
"Hey, stop it! She's from Goimany!" shouted Race at everybody.
The music began to play again and the party went back to normal, as if nothing had happened.
"Sorry for embarrassing you." Mona said blushing.
"Dat's okay." Race said finally looking up at Mona, "It's not ya fault."
Mona looked up and saw Margaret waving for her to come over.
"Well, I have my moments." Mona sighed.
Race and the other newsies playing poker laughed. Mona left Race and his friends and trotted over to her cousin who was sitting in a booth with Ryan.
"Sit down, girl." cried Margaret.
Mona sat down and enjoyed her time with her cousins. After finding out that Margaret still spoke German, the 3 of them babbled on and on in the language. Until a masculine voice interrupted them.
