AN:HEY HEY HEY!! Sorry it took so long for me to write this next one, I'm
in a play so it cuts down my free time!!!!
On with the story…
Mia sat a while pondering things and then stood up. Even though she didn't have it all figured out she had an idea, which she would think about later. Mia actually wanted to explore this 1899. If Racetrack was there than was everyone else??
Mia walked down the street, passing Race again. This time she smiled when he looked at her. He smiled back, but went back to his selling. Mia was walking along looking around. Most of the area was vaguely familiar, Mia had seen the movie so many times she knew it all, it just looked weirder in person. Mia was awed at what she saw, she was just so happy, but she didn't know what to do. As she passed some other street she happened to glance down and she stopped suddenly. She saw Jack Kelly heading her way. Mia couldn't believe it, she was still doubting that all the Newsies would be here but every minute was taking away all her doubts.
Jack looked at her funny because she was standing in the middle of an intersection just staring at him disbelievingly. "Hi?" he said
Mia snapped out of her trance "uh... Hey!" she replied smiling nervously. "I must look like a complete idiot!" Mia thought.
Jack looked her up and down to get a good look at her. Then something caught his eye. She was wearing Spot's cane in her left suspender. He had never seen anyone else with Spot's cane. "Why did he lend it to her?" Jack wondered. "Ya a friend of Spot's?" Jack asked Mia.
Mia's brow furrowed then she looked down at the cane. Then she looked at Jack again. "No, I don't knoah him" Mia said as straight faced as possible. She couldn't believe she'd left the cane where it was. It was going to cause some commotion if she left it there.
"Oh," Jack said wondering where she'd gotten the cane. "So, ya a Newsie?"
"Not yet, but I'se want ta be!" Mia said enthusiastically.
"Well, ya found the right guy, I'se show ya around!" Jack said looking happier. Jack led Mia down the second street and southward.
"Wheah're we goin"? Mia asked Jack.
"To the Lodgin' House o' course" Jack answered smiling.
"Really!! I always've wanted ta go theah!" Mia said jumping up and down. She then realized what she was doing and nervously smiled at Jack's looks.
"Ya've hoird of it?" Jack asked cautiously.
"Yah! I'se friends with Newsies!" Mia quickly said.
"Oh, jist wonderin'" Jack answered his face turning into the smile he'd had on before.
Jack and Mia made it to the LH pretty fast. Mia was kind of nervous because even though she knew everyone was nice, she still couldn't believe she was here. They were standing in front of the LH now and Mia was holding back. Still nervous
"Ya comin'?" Jack asked looking back at her.
"Yeah, sorry!" Mia answered as she went up the few steps to the door. As Mia crossed the thresh hold she had to stand back a minute, had to let her eyes adjust. When they did she saw Jack was already talking to Kloppman. The kindly old man was looking at her nicely. Mia assumed that she was probably the only Newgirl here, since the movie showed this. But she was wondering if this was exactly the same as the movie. Jack was wandering over to her.
"No one else'se here, but Kloppman said ya can stay heah with us. So I'll show ya the bunk room." He explained.
"Yeah, that's good. So I'se be stayin' heah?" Mia said just to be sure.
"Yeah!" he said as they reached the bunkroom after going up a flight of stairs. He walked across the bunk room and showed her an empty bunk. "This heah, it yoirs" he said pointing to it. "Ya also gotta sign in." Jack said. "I'se be downsteahs." He then left. Mia would've set up her things but all she had was what she had on. So after looking around and also checking out the washroom, Mia headed downstairs. When she got down she noticed most of the Newsies were back. She was looking around taking everything in when from behind her someone grabbed the cane and yanked it out of her suspender.
"Wheah'd ya get this?" someone growled
AN: HAHAH! Its not that bad of a cliffhanger, it may be a bit predictable, but I might just have a surprise in there!!! SO!! What do you think?? TELL ME!! REVIEW!! AND I THANK ALL WHO'VE REVIEWED!!! YOU'RE THE REASON I WRITE!!
