In the morning she woke up to see Pieboy standing over her getting dressed. "Hey," she said, giving a bit of a startle. "All of da boys have already gone to da center ta get dere papes," he whispered.
"Then why are we still here?" Anne questioned. "I'm going with you ta Medda's. Jack's goin' too, but he's still sleepin'"
"Yall don't have to go with me. I can take care of myself," Anne replied as she got up and walked over to the dressing room table to brush out her hair.
"Hello, do ya not remember yesterday. The Delancys' are mad at you and are problem out lookin' for ya dis very minuet. We ain't gunna let ya get hurt."
"You're so sweet," she said, reaching up to give him a kiss. "We don't want to be late so.....JACK!" she yelled as she enter his separate room (I know Jack doesn't have his own room in the movie, but I feel that he needs one so lets just say they turned a walk in closet into his room).
Jack let out a loud groan and through his pillow in her direction, knocking over a water pitcher on a shelf. He quickly sat up at the sound of the crash. Anne bent down and fumbled to pick up the shattered pieces of porcelain from the ground, "I'm so sorry Jack."
"Oh it's okay... It's happened before," Jack chuckled. Pieboy heard the crash and came running into the room. They continued to pick up all of the pieces and got ready for Anne's interview.
At the top of the steps of the Rose Theater Anne asked Pie, "How do I look." "Beautiful," he smiled and herded her into the building.
The sounds of Medda's Swedish voice singing "My Lovey Dovey Baby" echoed throughout the auditorium. Anne stared up at the lady, with red, curly hair that pranced about the stage, with deep admiration.
"I can see why Race likes her so much," she giggled. The guys just laughed and led her to a seat.
After the show Jack took them back stage to meet Miss. Medda Larkson. She was sitting in front of a large golden framed mirror singing as she got ready for her next show. She noticed them walk in and turned to say hello.
She greeted both Pie and Jack with kisses on their cheeks. "Now who is this lovely lady?" she asked, referring to Anne. Anne felt her cheeks slowly begin to get warmer with embarrassment.
"Medda, dis is Anne, Pieboy's girl." Jack said as Anne and Medda shook hands. "Good choice Pie" Medda giggled. "Well, anyway, Anne has a beautiful voice and since she can't be a newsies we thought ya might like her for your show."
"Okay girl come ova' here an show me what you've got," Medda said as she took her by the arm and led her to a grand piano in the corner of the room. She handed Anne a songbook and began to play.
Anne's voice sang sweetly against the sweet melody through out the entire song and applauds could be heard from Pie and Jack after the finale."
"Wonderful," Medda said happily glaping her palms together. "Be here at six tomorrow," she said, handing her a pretty scarlet dress and parasol. "Wow, you mean I got the part?" Anne exclaimed.
"Yeah you earned it," she replied. They shook hands and the three returned to the lodging house to tell the guys the great news.
