"Well, maybe Maggie just needs time to herself."
" I dunno Bumlets, everyday she leaves after lunch. She never says wheahs she's goin or nothing. Do ya tink it's anudda guy?" Race asked quietly.
"NO, dere's not another guy. I'm sure of dat. Well, deres Maggie why don't cha ask her to sell this afternoon with you?"
"Yeah, awright." Race ran over to Maggie.
"Heya Maggie!"
"Race!" Maggie quickly kisses his cheek. " Lets go eat I'm so hungry" Maggie turns to walk toward Tibby's but Race grabbed her hand.
"Maggie, will you sell with me this afternoon?" He looked at her with pleading eyes.
"Oh, well… Sure, why not" Race smiled and Maggie thought to herself. It wont hurt to go one day without singing.
"Well, what are you waiting for let's go eat." Race said Maggie smiles.
After Lunch
"So where are we going to sell today Race?"
" I was thinking'… Coney Island." Race grinned. Maggie laughed.
"Ok, just don't try to talk me into betting on any races." She laughed and stole Race's hat.
"Maggie!!! Come back wit me hat."
"You have to catch me first Race." She laughed as she ran into the direction of Coney Island, Race yelling at her the whole way.
At the Tracks
"Are you done selling your papes Race?"
"Yep all done. Want to watch some races?"
"Yeah I guess." She smiled. As she snatched his hat again.
"Maggieeeee, not again!!!" She laughed as she ran through the crowds of people. Couples watched at the two young teens chased each other through the tracks.
That Night
"So, Race did everything go ok?"
"Yea, everything is fine. Just like it always is." Bumlets patted Race on the back.
"Told ya Race, that goil is crazy about you." Race beamed.
"I must be the luckiest guy on Earth, or at least in New Yawk." Bumlets laughed
"Yea but don't rub it in, lets go in I'se tired." They both head inside
Next Day After Lunch
"Hey Maggie are we'se gonna sell together again?" He asked hopefully. Maggie bit her lip. Oh I can't miss another day, but he looks soo cute. No I can't miss another day, its not that I don't want to sell with Race but… I can't stop singing.
"Not today Race, um tomorrow?" He looked hurt but agreed.
"Ok, see you tonight." Race slowly walked away slowly. Maggie started to feel bad.
"RACE!!!" she ran after him, and wrapped her arms around him kissing him as sweetly as she possible could, putting as much passion into the kiss. When they finally broke they heard whistling from Jack, Snoddy, and Mush who had just walked out of Tibby's. Maggie and Race both turned to them and said.
"SHUT UP!" All laughed.
" I'll see you tonight Race, I promise." He smiled.
" Ok, see you tonight" He said it like he was in a dream. Maggie laughed at the dreamy look on his face. She ran off towards Medda's.
