Waiting For You
Chapter 4- Giggles Learns a Lesson
"Snoooooooodddddyyyyyyy!!!" came Bumlets' usual wake up call. Snoddy groaned and threw his pillow at Bumlets. "You really don't hafta do that!" He said. "What time is it anyway? All the others are asleep!" he complained. "I woke you up early cuz I want you to teach me sis how to hawk the headlines!" Bumlets said happily. "Can't you? She's your sister!" Snoddy argued. But, at the sight of Bumlets' pleading face, Snoddy gave in. "Fine. I'll do it. Now will you let me get back to sleep?" he said. "No! you two gotta get an early start! It's her first day, after all. She's waiting downstairs for you, now go!" Snoddy hopped off the bunk and reluctantly pulled his clothes on. Just what he needed, a Day with a girl. That IS just what you need...came a small voice in his head. But he disregarded it and kept his cranky mood, Heading down the stairs. But at the sight of her, standing at the foot of the steps, smiling, He practically forgot to be cranky. "Finally you get her! Come on! I'm so excited!" Giggles said, grabbing his hand and yanking him out the door.
"Whoa, whoa, wait a minute!" Snoddy said, pulling her to a halt. She giggled. "There's a few things you hafta know before you get to the Distribution Center." Snoddy said. "Well, tell me!"
"Alright, first off, You'll probably be the only girl there, and that's a big problem." he said. "Why's that?" Giggles asked, a puzzled look on her face. Snoddy sighed and said, "Some guys get a little to excited when they see a girl. They're a rare find at Distribution centers and a lot of fights break out because of them." She nodded. "The next thing is, I don't want you to talk to anyone there, just stay beside me and let me do the talkin," he said. "Well that's unfair!" she whined. "Well, it's only because you can't trust the Newsies that get there first. They aren't as nice as your brother or race or...me" She nodded again and said, "Yeah I guess that could be true... Can we go now?" Snoddy smiled, which is very rare, as Giggles stayed true to her name and giggled, then pulled him off.
After Snoddy realized that Giggles had no idea where she was going, he directed them to the Distribution Center. "Wow! This place is so neat!" She said excitedly and she ran up to the front of the line. Big Mistake.
"Well, well, what do we have heah? A goil? Heheheh..." said a tall, skinny newsboy as he grabbed her shoulder and pulled her towards him. Snoddy ran up. "You get yer hands off her Bones!" he demanded, pulling her away from him. Bones snickered and said, "No thanks snodd, I think she likes me!" He grabbed giggles again and put his arm around her. "Don't you touch me!" She yelled and she yanked herself away from him and kicked him where the sun don't shine. Snoddy took this opportunity to tackle bones and Punch his lights out. "Hundred papes wease..." he said, standing up and slamming down two quarters on the counter, Then pulling Giggles out of the Distribution Center.
When they were far away from the Distribution Center, Giggles finally spoke. "Um...sorry about that..." Snoddy looked down at her and rolled his eyes. "It's alright, just do as I sez next time, okay?" Giggles smiled and said, "Okay...now teach me how to sell papes!"
