"Alright, now that that is done, why don't we go over to Medda's? We haven't been there yet," Kaitlin suggested.
Ashlee nodded, "Sure it sounds like fun, plus we won't have to worry about Christian while we're there."
Kaitlin nodded with a sigh, "Yeah I suppose... I still don't think we're doing the right thing." she reached into her pocket and pulled out her knife again, flicking it open. "I still say we should do it ourselves, I mean we don't even know these people all that well..."
"We need their help and it'll be fine, we'll do most of the fighting, and put that stupid blade away! If Christian is watching he'll know you have them!" she frowned.
Kaitlin smirked, "He already knows I have it no doubt. I mean who else could steal from Chris and Matthew and not get caught?" She opened the door to Medda's and walked inside.
"Ugh," Ashlee said looking around, the scent of too much perfume hitting her nose.
"Why anyone would want to work here I'll never know," Kaitlin said walking around, flicking the blade to the knife closed. "I wouldn't wear any of these if you paid me."
"Velcome! and who might you be?" a woman dressed in a pink and purple outfit asked walking up to them.
"I'm Mystery and this is Firefly we're the new newsies. Jack and Race suggested we stop by here and check everything out..." she said trying not to show her distaste for the woman's outfit on her face.
"Vell hello! I am Medda the Swedish Meadowlark. I also own the place," She said with a smile waving her feather around. "Stay and watch the show, I'm sure you'll enjoy it."
"Thank you," Kaitlin said politely even though inwardly she was groaning and rolling her eyes. Medda smiled and walked off and Kaitlin laughed. "have you ever seen anything that gaudy or fake? Too bad we didn't know about this place sooner! We could have hid here, and no one would have ever even thought of stopping to check here."
Mystery grinned, "Yeah, I know. Oh well, I'm glad we're with the newsies."
Kaitlin smiled at her friend, "You like him don't you?"
"Who? I don't know who you're talking about," She mumbled.
"I don't believe it! Ashlee Liedtke likes Jack Kelly the head of the Manhattan Newsies! Eh, he sure is different from Christian," she laughed. "Personally I think Racetrack is kind of cute. Maybe I'll ask him out after all this fighting is over, and Christian is gone."
"I bet he would," Ashlee said nodding taking a seat in a chair near the wings of the stage.
Kaitlin leaned back and watched as the show continued, when Medda came on stage she couldn't help but laugh, "I wonder who writes these things for her..." She thought outloud.
Ashlee nodded in agreement, "she probably writes them herself, so shh..." she continued to watch. After about an hour, the show ended and Medda came backstage, and walked over to the two girls.
"So how was it?" she asked them with a smile.
"It was good...very well organized," Kaitlin said lamely, not wanting to tell the truth and hurt her feelings.
"I agree," Ashlee said nodding her head and grabbing Kaitlin's arm pulling her towards the door, "We have to get back...so we'll talk to you later Medda." Medda nodded and waved a feather at them as they left.
They walked back to the lodging house in silence, and then up to the bunkroom, where Jack, Race, Mush, Reb and Cactus were playing poker. Racetrack looked up, "heya Mystery, Firefly."
Fire smiled and sat down next to him, and he draped his arm around her shoulders, "want to play?"
She shook her head, "No, I'll just watch, I don't feel like playing."
Jack smiled and said hello, and smiled as Mystery sat down next to him. "How about ya Myst?"
"I'll watch too, I'm kinda tired, and I don't think I could concentrate," he nodded and took her hand.
Firefly smiled at Mystery and leaned her head on Race's shoulder and watched the game. After a while, she started yawning. "I think I'm going to go to bed Race."
He nodded and kissed the top of her head lightly, "alright." Firefly smiled as he kissed her, and got up and went over to her bunk. Mystery followed shortly after saying goodnight to Jack.
"Night Kaitlin," Mystery said falling asleep almost instantly.
Kaitlin had already fallen asleep, and didn't even have a chance to reply.
Ashlee nodded, "Sure it sounds like fun, plus we won't have to worry about Christian while we're there."
Kaitlin nodded with a sigh, "Yeah I suppose... I still don't think we're doing the right thing." she reached into her pocket and pulled out her knife again, flicking it open. "I still say we should do it ourselves, I mean we don't even know these people all that well..."
