The invitations were sent, that was it. There was no turning back now, Limper had done it, he had started something, that he didn't know if he was going to regret or not!
~(This is the part of the story where you start to get on the edge of you seat, wondering what is going to happen next, well, who knows?? Put yourself in Limper's place, he is trying something that he could be looked down upon, maybe newsies was forgotten for a reason, who knows!)~
Limper didn't expect any replies for a couple of weeks, but surprisingly, he had the most mail on the street! It turns out that all the kids LOVED the idea of a reunion. But this time, they were going to be the ones getting in all the action, not their Dad's. It was decided, all the newsie kids were going to meet at the newsie hang out spot right in front of the statue, where the newsies always met!
Limper was nervous, who knows what these kids could be like, what if they were mean, what if this started a whole fight, and then the fight would be blamed on him. He had terrible thoughts running through his head. But, at the same time he could just feel his father, Crutchy, looking down from Heaven and smiling at him, being so proud of his little boy. That was when Limper got all of his courage, it was only two more days, and then the reunion would happen!
For the next two days, all that Limper was doing was getting plans ready, thinking how selling papes was going to work. Yes, they were going to sell papes, no matter what the headline. Over and over in his head he could hear his Dad's words, "Headlines don't sell papes, Newsies sell papes" and he would smile, for this was true. He was from then on, calmed for he knew, that somehow all this was going to work out. That what happened with the other newsies, is it not? For the newsies stuck together through thick and thin, and he knew, that, that was going to happen in the situation too! This wasn't just a reunion for the newsie kids; this was the start of a new newsie era.
