Newsie Craziness
Chapter 6: The Walk of Their Lives
After waking up, and having freshly baked pancakes and tall glasses of milk, Dawn and Andy decided to go for a morning walk in Central Park.
Once they got there, Dawn asked Andy, "Andddyyy! You haven't said a word to me all morning! Pretty, pretty pweaase tell me what happened last night with Spot… or you will die of a horrible flaming death." At first Andy just stared at Dawn as if she meant what she really said about the 'horrible flaming death', but then she said, "Well… uh, Dawn… he kissed me about 5 times, but then he had to head back to Brooklyn. So, eventually I came back inside… and went to bed. Nothing too exciting." Dawn looked disappointed, as if she was if she was excepting Andy to say something else. "Sorry, but you shouldn't have gotten you hopes up" Andy said with a smirk on her face. With that said, Dawn smiled at her. "And about falling in-between you and Spot… I'm really sorry about that. I mean after all I was JUST looking for an acorn." Dawn said with a big smile. Andy stared at her for a minute, "Yeah… I totally understand that you just happened to be over Spot and me looking for an acorn. It makes perfect sense." Said Andy with a laugh. Not long after that, Dawn and Andy were laughing so loud, it seemed as if everyone in all of New York could hear them. Suddenly, Dawn stopped laughing, and slowly raised her hand, with her pointer finger, pointing to a bench with… what's this? "Is they who I think they are? Jack… and, Race??!?!!" Andy said with an astonished look on her face. Jack and Race were making out on a bench, right in front of everybody in Central Park. Dawn angrily walked up right next to the bench that Jack and Race were on and Andy following her. She tapped her foot loudly and said, "AHEMMM!" Jack and Race looked up at her with quizzical looks. Out of nowhere, David and Sarah come up from behind Dawn and Andy. With a big smile on his face, David said, "Hi Andy! Hi Dawn! How are you guys tod-" he looked over to where Jack and Race were sitting. His eyes started to water. "What?" Jack said, as if nothing was happening. Then, David burst into tears… like always… and started to run home with Sarah racing after him. Dawn looked into Jacks eye's and said, "You're upsetting David 24/7 with all of this nonsense you're up to! You really have to consider having 1 boyfriend, instead of having 3 or maybe even 4! But if THAT'S too hard for you, at least make out in private! I'm just really getting tired of David getting upset over you. After a long, death glare from Jack to Andy, he pulls Race back to himself and starts making out with him… as if he didn't hear a word of what Dawn just said. Then, Dawn said, "Pftttt... I give up!" Dawn walked away… with Andy slowly following her.
"What was that all about?" Andy said to Dawn. I just can't take it anymore… you know what? I need to go do something fun," she turned to Andy with a big smile on her face, "Lets go to Manhattan and entertain! That'll be fun." Andy smiled back at Dawn… and off they went to the streets on Manhattan.
After quickly stopping at the lodging house for a couple of tin cans for people to put some money in while they entertained, they reached Manhattan and set up where they were going to perform. Andy and Dawn both placed the cans in front of them… then they decided on a song. Almost at once, They started to dance and sing together…:
I wake up with blood-shot eyes
Struggled to memorize
The way it felt between your thighs
Pleasure that made you cry
Feels so good to be bad
Not worth the aftermath, after that
After that
Try to get you back
I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fu about you
Give me something to believe in
Cause I don't believe in you anymore
Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to try
(Yeah)
So this is goodbye
God damn my spinning head
Decisions that made my bed
Now I must lay in it
And deal with things I left unsaid
I want to dive into you
Forget what you're going through
I get behind, make your move
Forget about the truth
I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fu about you
Give me something to believe in
Cause I don't believe in you anymore
Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference,
It even makes a difference to try
And you told me how you're feeling
But I don't believe it's true anymore
Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry
(Oh no)
So this is goodbye
I've been here before
One day I'll wake up
And it won't hurt anymore
You caught me in a lie
I have no alibi
The words you say don't have a meaning
Cause
I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fu about you
And I...and so this is goodbye
Give me something to believe in
Cause I don't believe in you anymore
Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference,
It even makes a difference to try
And you told me how you're feeling
But I don't believe it's true anymore
Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry
(Oh no)
So this is goodbye
So this is goodbye, yeah
So this is goodbye
So this is goodbye, yeah
(oh no)
The crowd currently around Dawn and Andy go wild. People start tossing money into their tin cans and leaving the area. When Andy and Dawn picked up their cans, Andy pointed over to someone… it was Spot! "Lets go talk to him!" Dawn said excitedly. They ran over to where Spot was standing. Just as Dawn was about to say hi… someone grabbed her shoulder, which made her turn around. Then, she stood face to face with a boy around, or even her age. "Hi… sorry to bother you ladies. My name in Bobby, and I work for Medda at the Irving Hall… and I think that you two would be perfect for the theater. Your could sing… dance, and get paid twice as much as you do on the streets 'ere." He said smiling at Andy. "And even if you like to write your own songs… you could perform those, too." Suddenly, Spot came up from behind Andy and put a protective hand around her shoulder. "'ey… what do ya think your doin' wise guy?" said Spot. "I'm… telling the girls that they would be great to perform at Irving Hall… what's your problem?" said Bobby. "My problem? MY problem?!!?? You're the problem… hittin' on my goil like that…" "Excuse me? I am not trying to… 'hit' on your uh… girlfriend right there… Dawn however… but, uh… ever mind. Point is, you girls would be perfect for Irving Hall. Just… uh, some on down sometime and show us what you can do." Said Bobby… his cheeks turning red. "Bye now…" said Bobby, waving madly and running. "Funny… person…" said Dawn with a smile on her face. Andy chuckled. "What?" Dawn said to Andy in a quizzical tone. "Nothing Dawn… nothing at all." Dawn smirked and looked at Andy and said, "Do you think we should go there? Irving Hall? Are we even good enough?" "Yeah… yeah, I think we can do this Dawn. This is a really great opportunity for the both of us!" Dawn and Andy smiled with pride… and skipped away… back to the lodging home, leaving Spot in awe.
