She quickly got dressed and began to wobble out of the stall. To her surprise all of the boys were walking about half undressed. She screamed and quickly covered her eyes with the dirty dress she had clutched in her palm.
All of the boys were equally surprised at her coming out of the stall and ran to hide. Mush and Pieboy hobbled out of bed and over to Anne, putting on their clothes as they went.
They put their arms around Anne making her jump. She slowly pulled down the dress from her eyes to see all the newsies quivering behind anything to prevent her from seeing them. Pieboy continued to button up his shirt.
She had a sudden urge to giggle and just let it out. Mush and Pie stepped in front of her, still holding on to her waist to keep her standing. "What's so funny" Pie asked. She just pointed over at all the boys and began to laugh more.
Mush had began to giggle too and Pie was having a hard time supporting the both of them. "So you think dat dat is funny? Huh?" Mush said as he tried to compose himself.
Jack came out of the other room after hearing all of the giggling going on. "What are you guys doin'?" he asked. "Oh nothin'" Race said from beneath his covers.
"Anne you're gunna have ta see da guys like dis if you live here. And I mean come on guys. I never knew Manhattan could ever be afraid of a girl." Jack laughed. "We ain't afraid Jack," Blink said. Jack became more serious, "Den I suggest dat you get your asses out of bed before yall ruin' our reputations."
Anne was trying hard to contain her giggles seeing how serious Jack was. "At least she's laughin'" Pieboy whispered to Jack as they escorted her to her bunk. The minuet her head reached the pillow she drifted off into a deep sleep.
