The week was full of anticipation and preparation for Brittany's arrival. Ally was overwhelmed with excitement and she convinced her father to let her throw a surprise welcoming party for her younger sister. Medda had agreed to let them have it at Irving Hall; as long as she could her hear Brittany sing, as Ally had talked non-stop of her wonderful voice.
Ally wrapped her fingers around the star charm on her necklace as she, David, and Michael Lenox stood at the train station waiting for Brittany's train to arrive. The others were at Irving hall, helping Medda set up for the party. In her other hand, she clutched the letter, now faded and wrinkled. "What time was her train supposed to be here?" David asked putting his arm around her. Ally kept her eyes on the tracks, "Train number 1527 arriving at 3:00." She answered with a sigh. Michael looked at his pocket watch; "Well.it's 3:00 now. It should be here any second." As he said that, a whistle blew in the distance and the train came into sight. "There it is!" Ally exclaimed.
Inside the train, Brittany woke up with a start at the sound of the whistle. She peered out the window only to see the train station coming into view. "Oh my goodness." she murmured. It had been so long since she had last seen her family and she was nervous. (-- I hope they recognize me- -) she thought with a laugh. She gazed at her appearance in the window. She was at least a foot taller and her long dark tresses were passed her shoulders now. Brittany brought her hand up to her necklace. Like Ally's, it was a silver chain only hers had an angel charm. She smiled thinking of her sister and recalling all the letters she had written to her about her life in New York. Brittany had been so jealous to learn that not only had she met the actual newsies that started the strike they had read about, but they were also her friends! And she was even DATING one of them! Her sister."Ms. Responsibility" was in love! Brittany couldn't help but be happy for her sister; it was about time she learned to have some fun. The train came to a stop and Brittany gathered her belongings, walking towards the exit, she let a sigh and stepped off the ramp. She scanned the crowd looking for Ally's blonde head.
A few feet away, Ally was doing the same. "Do you see her?" David asked. Ally sighed and used her hand to block the sun from her face. "Maybe I could if the blasted sun would stop shining!" she muttered. David smirked, "The sun? Shining? No! Who would have thought?" "Ha Ha" Ally replied, punching him in the arm. Michael laughed as he too searched for his youngest daughter. Ally turned around and smiled at her father. Then, suddenly she got this very strange feeling. She brought her hand up to her necklace and turned around again.
Brittany shivered, "Where are they?" she thought. She shivered again and brought her hand up to her necklace. She turned around. The crowds parted, and blue eyes met hazel eyes. "Ally!" "Britt!" The teenaged girls ran to each other and were hugging within seconds. Michael and David ran over to them, but the sisters would not let go. David smiled at the sight they made. The look on Ally's face was one of complete happiness. Her family was back together again. "I'd hate to interrupt this moment." Michael said, "But do you have a hug for me Britt-girl?" Britt's eyes flew open, "Papa!" she exclaimed jumping into his arms, tears streaming down her cheeks. Michael lifted her off the ground and twirled her around. Ally wiped the tears from her own eyes and hugged David. He put his arms around her waist and kissed her forehead. When Michael finally set Britt down, David took the moment to examine her. She was the exact opposite of Ally in appearance. While Ally had blue eyes and blonde hair, Britt had hazel eyes and dark brown hair. She was about 2 inches shorter then Ally. The only things they did have in common were there smiles and necklaces. Except for the charms, of course. Ally hugged her sister again and turned to David, "Britt.I would like you to meet my boyfriend, David. And David I would like you to meet my little sister and best friend, Britt." David held out his hand and wasn't prepared when Brittany ran and threw her arms around him. Laughing, he hugged back, already feeling a brotherly responsibility towards the younger girl. Brittany pulled away and beamed up at him, "So this is the young man who captured my sisters heart?" she looked over at Ally, smirking, "Al, your letters didn't do him justice." She said winking. Ally blushed as the other three laughed. Britt turned back to David, "Really, it is great to finally meet you, David." David smiled, "And it's great to meet you Britt. Since I first met Ally, it was Brittany this and my younger sister that." Britt laughed and then brought her hand up to her mouth, letting out a yawn. Michael picked her luggage up, "Well gang, I'd say it was time to go home and get Britt settled." He kissed her hair and began walking, the other three in tow. Britt smiled and touched her necklace, (-- Home. --) She thought, (---It's so wonderful to finally be home.with my family. --) She yawned again and picked up her small bag. "Tired?" Ally asked, draping her arms around her shoulders. "Exhausted." Britt nodded, "I can't wait to get home and get some rest. That train was really uncomfortable." Ally smiled mischievously. Britt knew that look, "What are you up to Allyson Lenox?" Ally grimaced, "Ugh, the full name!" she laughed and squeezed Britt's shoulders, "Nothing my darling little sister.just a surprise." "A surprise?" Britt asked. "Uh-huh." "Good surprise or bad surprise?" Ally giggled thinking of all the newsies and Medda back at Irving Hall getting ready for the party. Jack and Spot would be taking charge of course, making sure everything was perfect for their newest "sisters" arrival. Blink and Mush would be having a streamer fight while Magic and Clover were trying to hang them up, and Sarah and Summer would be setting out the food. The other newsies would all be talking, playing marbles, or out selling the remainder of their papes before the party began. The only one left was Racetrack, who had probably wandered off to his secret spot to think until it was time. Race was a great guy, and had helped Ally during one of the most difficult decision of her life. It was time to return the favor. Ally's mischievous smile returned to her face, "Good surprise, sis. Definitely a good surprise."
