A/N- Thanks to both Fingers and StupidChocolateGurl for the short, but
lovely, reviews. Reviews make me feel loved. If I ever, by some
miraculous miracle, own the newsies I will share with you. We'll split it
50, 25, 25. Ok? Sorry, I'm really tired cause me and 2 friends just had
an Aaron Lohr movie marathon last night and then because I had had a Jakada
and one of those huge boxes of nerds, at 4:30 a.m. I was very slaphappy.
If I didn't know myself any better I would have sworn that I was high.
Which I probably was because of the little man. The men with the white
jackets are coming for me soon so I have to hurry up and type this story
because those white jackets aren't the easiest thing the type in. Trust
me.
WARNING: this is what happens when you get 2 hours of sleep after drinking a Jakada and having a huge box of nerds. You write really freaky things and scare away all the nice reviewers, you. Pay absolutely no attention the useless ramble above. Instead focus all your attention on the second chapter of The Real Thing bellow and then when you're finished reading it would honor me if your were to hit that tempting little review key and write me a nice review. If you want to be in this story don't hesitate to ask. Now for the story . . .
CHAPTER 2: AS HOTT AS IT GETS
Autumn and Kid Blink stared at each other in disbelief. August was looking from Kid Blink to Mush, her mouth wide open. They stayed like this until Autumn finally spoke, breaking the awkward silence.
"Ha ha real funny" she said sarcastically as she got up.
"What's funny?" asked Kid Blink, also getting up.
"Oh come on. Don't play dumb with me. You two are some of Heather's drama friends, playing a trick onus. Why? I don't know. So how much is she paying you?"
"Whose dis Heathah? asked Mush in confusion.
"Jake's over. That was lame. you scared the shit out of me. Even I know there's no way in hell you could be the real people."
"The real what?" Kid Blink was getting even more confused as things progressed.
"The real Kid Blink and Mush Myers. Stop it."
"How'd you'se know me name? And wheah ah we?" Blink looked around his surroundings.
"Autumn. I don't think this is a joke" said August softly.
"Ok" Autumn said firmly. "If this isn't a joke prove to me you're the real thing."
"The real what?!!?" asked Blink, getting impatient.
"Newsies!" said August.
"Of coise we'ah newsies."
"In case you wanted to know, you're in Burke, Virginia."
"Vahginia?!?" exclaimed Blink. "How da hell did we'se gets in Vahginia?"
"Well at least it's not da Bronx, Kid" Mush said optimistically.
"Da Bronx is da least of me worries right now Mush. Heah" Blink handed Autumn a coin. She turned it about in her hand.
"Anyone could have these" she said.
"I'm shoah you'se have plenty."
"Well yeah, but not from 1899."
"Whada ya mean from 1899?"
"This is 2003, doofus" Mush and Blink looked at each other in utter shock.
"2003 . . ." stuttered Mush. "Dis is da yeah 2003?"
"You're not kidding, are you?" Autumn asked taking in a short breath.
"No. How do you'se know who we ah?" Autumn looked at her twin for help who gave her a helpless look.
"Um . . . how do I put this?" Autumn struggled.
"They make a moving picture about the newsboy strike of 1899" tried August.
"A moving pictuah?" asked Mush.
"Yeah. It's a picture that moves. We'll have to show you."
"August" hissed Autumn through clenched teeth. "We can't bring them to our house with them looking like that!" the girls looked at each other and their eyes locked.
"Brittany" they said at the same time.
"Come on" said Autumn turning to the boys. The sisters walked towards their house, leaving the boys to follow them.
"This is unbelievable" whispered Autumn.
"I'm surprised you didn't do what you vowed. 'If I ever meet Aaron Lohr or Mush, I'll jump right into his arms and smother his face in kisses'" August mimicked her sister.
"Shut up! And you hardly said anything to Blink, your true love."
"He is not" said August while blushing.
"Uh huh" the girls walked around the front of the house. "Wait here" Autumn opened the front door and stuck her head in. "Hey mom! We're going over to Brittany's."
"And . . ." replied her mom.
"And we're probably gonna go to the mall."
"Probably?"
"Fine. We will be going to the mall. I'll call when we're on the way home."
"Do you have money?"
"Yes."
"Do you have your cell?"
"Brittany has one."
"Do you have a watch?"
"Mom . . .!"
"Ok! Ok! Go!" Autumn ran back over to where August, Blink and Mush were standing.
"Everything's cool!" she said with a smile. August nodded and the four of them made their way to Brittany's house in silence. August knocked on her friend's door. The door was opened by a slightly chunky girl with orange streaked blonde hair and brown eyes. She was wearing a green tank top and well worn, faded, torn jeans. A lollipop was sticking out of her mouth.
"Hey guys" she said calmly before catching sight of Mush and Blink behind them. The lollipop dropped out of her gaping mouth. "Is that who I think it is?"
"Yeah" said Autumn quickly. "Can we, and they, come in?"
"Sure. Sure" Brittany pulled the door open wide and the four of them made their way in. Blink and Mush looked around observing their strange new surroundings.
"We were thinking they might fit into your brothers clothes" said Autumn. "Just to borrow. Can you take us to the mall?"
"Uh huh" responded Brittany looking at Blink and Mush. "They're even hotter in real life!"
"Brittany . . ." August prompted.
"Right."
"Hey guys. We'll be right back. We're going to get you different clothes" Blink and Mush looked at each other and shrugged. They were too flabbergasted to say anything. The girls made their way upstairs and into the room of Brittany's brother.
"We'll need shorts for Mush, khaki probably, jeans for Blink . . ." listed Autumn.
"If they have shirts underneath the ones they're wearing now, all they have to do is roll the sleeves and unbutton them" added Brittany as she pulled out the shorts and pants from a pile on the floor. She handed them to Autumn.
"Shoes?" asked August.
"Sneakers for Mush, Tims for Blink?" said Autumn.
"That's good" Brittany said as she searched for the other Adidas for Mush. August picked up a pair of Tims off the floor.
"These better fit" grunted Autumn.
"We're going to buy them new clothes at the mall" said August as she made her way out the door.
"Yes, but they have to wear something decent to the mall. I mean modern" replied Autumn. The girls trekked downstairs. "Here" Autumn handed the shorts to Mush and the pants to Blink. "Put these on in there" she pointed to the bathroom. "And then we'll fix the rest."
"Why do we'se needs ta change?" asked Blink staring at the pair of jeans that had been shoved in his arms.
"Here" Brittany pointed to a picture of her brother on the wall. "That's what they dress like now. You have to fit in. Trust me, you'll look good. Not that you don't already look good now I'm just saying that . . ."
"Brittany" interrupted Autumn. She then turned to Blink. "Just put the clothes on."
"Ok . . ." said Blink warily. They boys went into the bathroom to change.
"Oh my gosh! This is unbelievable!" exclaimed Brittany. "Kid Blink and Mush are changing in my bathroom!"
"I know" sighed Autumn. "They'll look so hott!"
"Definitely" agreed August.
"Wait!" said Autumn suddenly. "Boxers!" the girls laughed. "They need boxers!"
"You're right" said Brittany and she quickly ran upstairs. As quick as she was gone she was back with two pairs of boxers. She tossed them to Autumn who promptly turned red.
"Ok" she knocked on the bathroom door. "Uh guys. I have something for you to put on underneath your pants" she opened the door slightly and tossed the boxers inside. She closed the door and the girls burst into laughter. After waiting a few minutes, Mush and Blink emerged.
"Well?" asked Blink. "Da pants ah a lil bit loose."
"They're supposed to be like that" replied Autumn as she inspected the boys. "Guys, pull down you're pants some, you see, now a days it's cool to see your boxers, er . . . the things I gave you to put underneath. Just trust me on this" the boys both tugged down their pants so now a bit of their boxers were showing. "August, fix Blink's shirt"
"Do I hafta?" mumbled August. Autumn nodded as she went over to Mush.
"Do you mind if I . . . uh fix your shirt some?"
"No" he said shyly. Autumn un-tucked his green button down shirt so it now hung over his shorts.
"Can you unbutton it? That is if you have a shirt underneath."
"Ok" Mush unbuttoned his shirt so his white undershirt was visible. Autumn proceeded to roll Mush's sleeves just a bit above the elbow.
"Yeah. Do what he did" August said to Blink. He smiled at her before doing the same thing to his shirt as Mush had. He then tried to roll his sleeves but had no success.
"Hey . . . uh . . . what's yoah name again?"
"August. That's my sister Autumn and our friend Brittany" she pointed to them as she said their names.
"Yeah, August. Can you'se roll me sleeves?"
"Ok . . ." said August turning red but she carefully rolled the red sleeves of Blinks shirt, the same way as Mush's were done.
"Ok" said Brittany holding up the shoes. "These are for you" she handed the Tims to Blink. "And these are for you" she handed the Adidas to Mush. "Trade shoes" Blink slipped the Tims on easily for they were similar to boots he owned but Mush struggled with the sneakers.
"Here, let me help" said Autumn with a little laugh. She knelt down and helped Mush fix the sneakers.
"Dese feel weird" he said moving his foot around, trying to get used to the strange new shoes.
"It grows on you" Autumn got up and stepped back. The girls examined their handiwork and sighed. They didn't have any idea the guys could get any hotter but they had just proved themselves wrong. The newly modernized Blink and Mush were just about as hott as it gets.
