Here's number 9 of my shorts. This one is for Biddy and features Jack and Skittery. Don't ask about the two items Rachel has at the end because I was trying to make a joke out of what Biddy wrote on the CC form. She mentioned it in the form, so it's in the short. I think this one is a very stupid type of funny and I love those types. Hope ya'll like this one too!
Biddy's
Newsies Short
Rachel grabbed Jack and Skittery by their collars and threw them out the door. It was time to go and she wasn't one to raise her voice. She wanted to go to Tibby's and enjoy a good dinner with Jack and Skittery, her two best friends of the lodging house.
"All right! Right behind ya Rachel!" Skittery stammered.
"Good, I'm hungry," she replied and started walking.
Tibby's wasn't too far from the lodging house. The reached it in about five minutes and walked in. Rachel grabbed the first table that she came to and sat down while motioning for the boys to sit.
"The usual Bill," she told the owner. Bill turned to look at Jack and Skittery and they nodded in agreement.
Rachel made herself comfortable and smoothed her hands over dark grey skirt. She looked at Skittery, then Jack, and back again. "Well, say somethin'!"
"How many did ya sell today?" Jack asked both of them.
"The usual," Rachel and Skittery replied in unison.
As if on cue, Bill returned with Rachel's pie and Skittery and Jack's pigs in blankets. "Oh, and can I'se get one of them?" She asked pointing at the boys' food. Bill nodded and returned to retrieve another pig in a blanket.
"The usual, huh?" Jack said.
"Yeah, the usual," she replied. "And youse better hurry up and eat, because we's leavin' when I'se get mine."
Jack and Skittery looked at each other and started stuffing their faces. Bill returned with Rachel's pig in a blanket and she tried to pay for her share. "No need," Bill told them. "It's on me today." He left them with a smile on his face.
The trio got up and walked back to the lodging house and went back up to the bunks. With pie in hand, Rachel went to the washing area and grabbed a bar of soap.
"Youse ready?" She returned with the soap in her other hand.
The boys looked at each other and broke out into a rendition of "Carryin' Da Banner" and Rachel began dancing with the pie and bar of soap while singing along.
