All of the Manhattan newsies met at the usual time for dinner at Tibby's. Pieboy, Anne, Jack, Race, Brady, Blink, and Specs were sitting in a circular booth in the corner of the restaurant.
"May I have your attention please?" ...May I have your attention please?" Jack asked over all of the chatter after standing up on the table. He reached down and pulled Anne up to stand beside him.
"Anne here has begun to remember her past today..." He was interrupted by the hoots and hollers that filled the restaurant. He continued, "...and is going to be applying for a job at Medda's tomorrow."
That brought about even more cheers from all of the boys and then a very disturbed Mr. Tibby came out and stopped all of the racket.
"So Anne.... ya know if ya get dis job ya betta' beware of Race, because if her likes ya as much as he likes Medda you'll be his girl in no time," Blink chuckled as he was handed his meal by the waiter.
"Wait a sec....what if Anne's somebody else's girl?" Pieboy asked out of the blue. "Yeah.... if that someone ever asks," Anne frowned. Pie turned bright red and began to ask, "Anne..." but before he could say another word she kissed him passionately.
"Is dat a yes?" he grinned. "You're unsure of what dat meant?" she raised an eyebrow. She leaned in for an even longer kiss. All of the newsies began to hoot and holler and holler at the two. When they broke apart Pie said, "That's definitely a yes."
They finally noticed that all of the guys were cheering and became embarrassed. Anne quickly turned and began to eat hoping that everyone else would do the same.
They finally finished eating and went back to the lodging house. Anne quietly got in bed and as she was fixing to doze off Pieboy came over. He pushed back her golden hair from her face and gave a simple peck on the cheek whispering, "Goodnight." "Goodnight," she whispered as she dozed off into a deep sleep.
