There's a Newsie in My Kitchen
They were eating. In the kitchen. Hence the title.
"Wow, that was good!" Dutchy said, wiping his mouth on the back of his hand.
"Indeed?" ToT asked, raising an eyebrow at the exclamation from the excited newsie. "Stage's cooking normally sucks."
"Hey." Stage glared. "You've only eaten my macaroni and cheese and I did all I could with that."
"Sure."
"Why don't you try making Kraft brand products."
" 'Kraft'? What's dat?" Bumblits asked through a mouth stuffed with sandwich.
"It's…oh, nevermind." Dottie replied.
"It's a pair of icky boys at school!" shouted Sparkles.
"What's their last name?" questioned Mush.
"Ummm…Kraft."[1] ToT said, covering quickly. Stage sent her a look and swallowed the pop she was drinking. ToT raised her other eyebrow. "What?"
"Today is Thursday." Stage stated.
"Good, Stage. And tomorrow is Friday."
"What do we have on Saturday?"
ToT's eyes went huge and she slapped her hands over her mouth. A muffled curse slipped out and Sparkles and Dottie looked over at her funny. Dottie was the next to get it and then Sparkles.
"HOAGIES!" Sparkles shrieked. Dottie got up, strolled over to a wall, and proceeded to bang her forehead on it. ToT's face was buried in her hands that rested on the table top and Stage tipped backwards in her chair, arms folded.
"What're hoagies?" Racetrack asked curiously. "Is it a race or sumthin'?"
"That would be easier." Stage raised her eyebrows.
"They're sandwiches that Stage and ToT have to make tomorrow." Dottie provided. "Sparkles and I are going to the stables."
"Alright! A chance ta mingle wit da natives!" Jack grinned.
"Dear God," ToT mumbled. "I hadn't thought of it that way..."
****
[1] Not really, but hey…we couldn't think of anything.
Closing Comments: It's a short chapter, yes. But that's only because I'm (Stage) the only one typing at the moment. We left off at Jack's line several months ago…and I just decided it'd probably be a good idea for me to have someone say something that would end the chapter.
