Goldie was severely depressed over the fact that she didn't get to go back to Warbucks mansion with Annie. The teenager was stuck at the orphanage and trapped with her horrendous family.

"Goldie?" Agatha drawled from her desk.

"Yes, Aunt Agatha?" Goldie looked up from the floor she was sweeping.

"You remember how Annie ended up in this dump?"

"Oh, very well, Annie's parents abandoned her at the doorstep with a note sayin' they'd come back for her soon. She's been wantin' to go out in the world and find 'em. Kinda like me with my mother."

"Okay." Agatha returned to her work, then looked back up. "Goldie, do you know if Annie's gotten any money from Warbucks during your visit."

Goldie shrugged. "She seems to be more interested in the toys she's gotten than the money he has."

"Huh."


Time came and time again, Rooster was running late so Goldie was still at the orphanage for a while. Goldie really wished she could be back at Warbucks' mansion, he really warmed to her and Annie. He was even the man Goldie wished her father could be more like. There was even a radio broadcast for Annie's biological parents to contact Oliver Warbucks and take Annie back home, she's been wanting to see and reunite with them forever.

"Annie's folks, huh?" Goldie asked as she finished cleaning the entire orphanage and sent the children to bed after their supper. "Think they'll come?"

"I dunno," Agatha scratched her chin, then gripped her niece's shoulders. "Maybe, maybe not."

"Ow, Aunt Agatha!" Goldie winced.

"MOVE IT, GOLDIE!" Agatha roared, then tossed Goldie aside like she was as useful as an old, smelly sock.

Goldie groaned and held herself from the pain. She looked out the night sky and wished the best for Annie. Even though it seemed unlikely, Goldie prayed that Annie would reunite with her parents and have a good life instead of a hard knock one. Time passed and Goldie was stuck in yet another misfortune. Goldie's father, Lily and Agatha were all hatching a scheme on how to get back at Annie, devastated that the rotten orphan was making big money since she was living with Oliver Warbucks.

"There's gotta be somethin' we can do!" Rooster groaned.

Goldie didn't indulge in their conversation. She just sat there, looking at them, wishing it would stop. Goldie then hacked and covered her nose and mouth by her neck hole as her aunt took a smoke break. Goldie wanted them all to leave Annie alone, but she knew if she had said that, she would either get a punch in the face, or a death glare worthy of making her wish she weren't alive.

"How much is Warbucks offerin' to find that parentless brat?" Lily asked.

"$50,000." Agatha said, then coughed heavily from the smoke.

"Well, what do ya expect to do about it?" Rooster asked, rolling his eyes. "They gave her a note, didn't they? Goldie's ma left me a note when she was abandoned into my care!"

"I always hoped my mother was smarter than that." Goldie mumbled to herself.

Agatha ran into her private room and looked all around. She had several documents on the orphans she had over the years. She mumbled as she struggled to find the note by herself, then called to her brother, niece, and 'friend'.

"It's in an envelope," Agatha told them to get them to help. "A sealed envelope! You help too, Goldie!"

Goldie groaned as she reluctantly helped her family get the note. The teenager was hoping that if she found the note first, she could dispose of it quickly for Annie's sake. Lily whined about her life and how she wanted to be rich, much like Rooster. Even Agatha was annoyed with Lily.

"Make yourself, useful!" Agatha snapped at her.

Goldie couldn't help but laugh, and continued to search. "Should have her name on it." she said as she continued to look through the several boxes with the orphans' details.

As the adults squabbled, Goldie looked hard. She then took out an envelope. Goldie remembered she was the one who answered the door when Annie was first abandoned in front of the orphanage, there were two names that always stuck out to her. David and Margaret Bennett. Goldie remembered those names on the note left with baby Annie and they had to have been Annie's long-lost parents. Goldie hid the envelope behind her back, but then her father came to her.

"Find anything?" Rooster asked. "We could be rich from this, ya know."

"Yeah, I know." Goldie nodded, twitching.

Rooster darkened his glare at her. "Goldie, what are you hiding?"

"Me? Hiding? I'm not hiding anything!" Goldie said quickly and continued to twitch.

"Goldie..." Rooster came close and tried to make her turn.

Goldie kept stepping back, keeping the envelope secure. Rooster then grabbed from behind his daughter and swiped the envelope.

"Daddy!" Goldie gasped.

Rooster snickered, then walked to the girls to show he had the envelope. Goldie cried and tried to keep him from opening it, but he proceeded to do so as Lily and Agatha waited with anticipation so they could give the note and return it to Warbucks and take Annie away. Lily squealed with anxiousness.

"Hurry!" Agatha demanded.

Rooster did his chicken call as he opened the note successfully and they were all about to be swimming in money. Goldie moaned that she was apart of this wretched scheme. The adults did a victory dance as Goldie sat on the floor and buried her face in her hands as the adults cheered that they would get Annie right where they wanted her.


As Rooster said, they would all now live on Easy Street. Goldie wasn't sure whether to feel embarrassed or sick to her stomach. Knowing her father, Goldie knew they were somehow going to pull this off villianously. Goldie just hoped she wouldn't be apart of this once they would go to the Warbucks mansion and get Annie back. It felt even worse once Goldie saw her father dangle the other half of Annie's gold locket. Later, the adults were gathered as Rooster filled out a form, Goldie then came in after Molly finished mopping the bathroom.

"Molly's finished the bathroom." Goldie announced.

"I told her and Pepper to do it." Agatha glared at her.

Goldie rolled her eyes, then looked back at her family. "How ya guys gonna pull this off anyway? Annie knows what you all look like!"

"Will you relax?" Rooster snapped at her. "I have a plan."

"What're ya making?" Goldie stepped forward.

"A birth certificate." Rooster cackled.

"Oh, Gloria, your father's so smart!" Lily laughed too.

"My name is Goldie." the black-haired teenager seethed through her teeth.

"Whateva!"

Goldie growled at her and looked out the window. She looked closer as the orphan girls were running out in a frenzy as if they had to do something very important.

"I wonder where the girls are going?" Goldie wondered out loud.

"WHAT!" Agatha shot up from her seat, then ran out with Rooster and Lily to capture the runaway orphans.


Rooster leapt from the stairway and grabbed Kate and July as Lily clung onto Tessie. Agatha grabbed Molly before she got to go anywhere. The adults pulled the orphans and threw them back inside the orphanage, yelling and pulling on them like they were useless. The girls were then pulled into the storage room in Agatha's office and locked in.

"Aunt Agatha, Lily, Daddy, you can't do this!" Goldie cried.

"Perhaps you'd like to join them." Rooster said, crossly at her with his arms folded.

"Either way, they ain't getting out now!" Lily said as she pulled Agatha's chair to block the door, thus sealing the girls in.

"Don't worry, girls, you'll get out of there." Goldie whispered as she leaned on the door.
