Chapter 16
Spot sat up and opened his eyes. The bunkroom was full of slumbering newsies. Scamp was laying peacefully, Spot smiled to himself, he was glad they were together. Them actually hooking up wasn't to clear to him…something about being locked in a closet or something. The only newsie that seemed to be missing was Ebony, who Spot vaguely remembered her saying
she was going somewhere and would be back soon.
The stairs to the bunkroom began to creep as Kloppman made his way to wake
the newsies. He opened the door and was surprised to see Spot awake.
"Mornin' Spot, what are you doing up so early?"
Spot shrugged. "I donno, you'se know it's kind-a weird…it feels like…I'se donno somethin' just feels wrong."
"That's how life is," Kloppman said laughing. "So how'd you sleep?"
"Umm…alright I'se
guess…I think I'se had a
dream about
"Nope…COME ON SELL THE PAPES!!!!!" Kloppman shouted. All the newsies jumped in their sleep and began to stir. As soon as Kloppman was sure the newsies were getting up he left the room.
"Anyone else feel as if something is wrong?" Becca asked. "And why are you hear David?"
David shrugged his shoulders and headed towards the washroom. Some of the newsies agreed with Becca or were just to tired to reply.
"Yeah and for some reason I'm really sad," Scamp said as she looked around the room at her friends.
"I had a really weird dream…we were
all in
"I had the same dream!" Racetrack exclaimed jumping up.
"Me too!" Scamp said.
"Yeah I did too," Spot said putting a shoe on.
All the other newsies said that they
had all had the same dream…well everyone except Mouse who was
stretched out on her bed reading her book. On her lips there was a smile
playing to break free. For in her book there was a short chapter that hadn't been there the day before, she scanned the page and
realized what had happened. The chapter
told a story, a story of visitors to
The end spoke of the heroes, Hercules and Iolaus, returning safely to the Academy with a new cadet. A new cadet who was from a different place, but soon learned all that she could be taught. A new cadet who flourished in all that she was being taught. It was with that that Mouse knew all was well. Smiling she shut her book and got ready for a day of selling newspapers.
