Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Newsies, Disney does.
Maggie and Race have been together for a few months and they are inseparable, you never saw one without the other. They are joined at the hip. Everyday they sell over in Central Park, and then they head over to Coney Island where they will spend the rest of the day betting on horses. Still no one knows about Maggie's past and soon all the Newsies will know.
Guns shots are heard, Margaret runs to where she thinks they came from, a room; her mother's room. A man runs out of the room. 'Bob? What is he doing here?' Margaret runs in.
'Mama! Mama!' The girl cried.
'Margaret, darling.' She tries to sound all right.
'Mama, you're bleeding.'
'Margaret you have to listen to me, are you listening?'
'Yes mama, I am.'
'You have to leave, now tonight. Run as far away from here as possible.'
'Why mama, I want to stay with you.'
'No, I can't. Go now he might return.'
'I'm not scared and I'm not leaving you.'
'Margaret, go now, please.' Margaret could see the pleading in her mothers eyes.
'Okay mama, I'll go.' She gets up and walk out the door only to walk back in she flung herself on her dying mother.
'I love you, mama.' It was too late, she was already gone. 'Mama don't go, come back, don't leave me. Mama.'
"Mama, don't leave me, come back, come back." Maggie woke up crying. It was only a dream, but it wasn't. It really did happen. She thought to herself. "Oh mama I miss you so much." Just then Skittery shifted in his bed, afraid she would wake someone, she climbed up to the roof.
"Mama, I know you're up there, and I know you can her me." She paused. "I miss you so much mama." She thought for a few minuets. "You don't have to worry about me anymore…Racetrack is a wonderful boy and I love him so much mama. You would have loved him too." She stared up into the sky, it was a beautiful night, lots of stars where out. "Mama, I want to sing again, I miss that a lot too. Its like I'm lying to myself by not singing. I meet this lady her name is Medda, she owns her own theater and I want to sing there Mama, please give me a sign telling me I can. I wont do it till I know you think its ok.' Maggie lay down on the roof and just stared up into the sky waiting for a sign. A shooting star flew across the sky. Maggie smiled to herself. 'Tomorrow, I will go talk to Medda.'
Next morning
"Maggie, if you're plannin on selling today, ya might wanna get up." Racetrack said.
"Well, actually I'm not going to sell today. I have to go do something."
"And what might dat be."
"I would tell you if I could, but I cant."
Race sighed, he knew that Maggie would tell him eventually, but he still worried about her.
"Ok, meet me at Tibby's for lunch den?" he asked shyly.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world." She smiled and kissed Race sweetly and then jumped off her bed and went to the washroom to change.
"Heya Race, you want to sell wit me today?"
"Yeah sure Snoddy, want to go to the tracks afterwards?"
"Yeah, sure as long as ya don't make me place any bets." Race and Snoddy both laughed and walked out the Lodging House to go buy their papes.

"Hi, I'm Maggie. Is Medda around by any chance?" She asked as larger man who was standing by the stage.
"Yea, Medda's here. Whadda you want?"
"I just need to ask her something."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. HEY MEDDA SOME GIRL'S HERE TO SEE YOU."
"Toby, stop yelling I'm right here. Oh Maggie! I haven't seen you here in such a long time, where have you been kid. Where's Racetrack?"
"Hi Medda" She gives the older woman a hug." I need to talk to you Medda it's really important."
"Ok, umm lets go to my dressing room." They both walk back stage to Meddas room.
"So, tell me whats going on."
"Ok, I can't go into too much detail but I used to be a show girl, but something happened and I had to quit. It's been such a long time since I have been on a stage. You wont have to pay me or anything. I just want to sing." Medda smiled.
"Maggie, you can sing as much as you like, the guys would love it."
"See that's the thing Medda, they can't see me sing at all no one." Maggie looked up at a very confused Medda. Medda was going to ask why but the look on Maggie's face made her realize Maggie didn't want to tell her.
"Ok Maggie, you can sing between 3-4pm on weekdays, that the only time that the theater is closed." Medda got up and looked around in one of her boxes of junk." Now where did I put that key? Oh here it is." She hands it to Maggie. "Now here's the key to the back door, make sure no one sees you come in." Maggie squealed, "Thank you soo much Medda!" Maggie ran out the door. Medda just laughed.
