The old door creaked as it was slowly pushed open and the old man at the counter looked up to see who was there. To his surprise there stood a face that he hadn't seen in just about a year.
"What are youse doin' back? Jack said ya weren't comin' back." This brought a smile to the girl's face.
"I wasn't gonna come back. But I missed y'all too much," she replied. "So whe'ah's awll a da boys?"
"At Medda's."
"Oh."
"So why didja leave?" the old man asked
"I hadta get away. I was awll to much," she said, not referring to any event in particular, just her life in the busy city in general.
"The boys should be home soon," he said
"Ok, I'm gonna put my stuff upstairs." She had just gotten to the bottom of the stairs when she heard a large commotion outside. 'They must be home' she thought as she remembered all of her friends that she had left behind in the bustling city.
"Aw man, was dat a great show or what!" she heard the familiar voice of Racetrack exclaim, greeted by shouts of agreement, making her smile.
"Aw pipe down fellas, awll da younga' boys' tryin' ta sleep," Jack said and, as he turned to head up the stairs to the bunkroom, stopped short when he saw the familiar face before him.
"Trouble, what a youse doin heah?" he asked still shocked to see her there.
"Trouble?" her name echoed among the shocked newsies.
"Heya boys, didja miss me?" she asked, trying to lighten the now tense mood.
"A coise we missed ya, but why didja leave in da foist place?" Kid Blink asked with a sad, betrayed look on his face.
"It was awll juss to much. I hadta get away frum it awll," she replied, avoiding the eyes of all her old friends peering anxiously at her.
"Awll a whah?" Racetrack asked, slinging his arm around her shoulder
"Ya knows, Storm was getting' ta be to much an' den dat whole problem wid Spot an' I dunno, I needed ta get away an' try an' sort it awll out."
"Ya know we woulda helped ya wid Spot. 'Sides he wouldn't a hoit youse anyways," Jack said, referring to the fierce leader of the Brooklyn newsies who was angry at Trouble after finding her with one of his newsies a day or two after him and Trouble had broken up. That had caused a problem for him, especially after he had walked in on the two of them doing very inappropriate things. So Spot and Storm had gotten into a big fight and Trouble had blown up and called Spot an overbearing ass and the two of them weren't speaking. Then to make matters worse Strom and Trouble had been fighting all the time, which totally wore her out and she realized that it wasn't worth it, broken up with him, and after talking to Jack, hopped the next train out of Manhattan.
"Jack, ya knows dat I hadta," Trouble said. Then Kloppman appeared and shooed them all up to bed.
"Da bed next ta me, undah Mush is free if ya wan' it," Race said
"Soah, dat was me old bunk anyways," she said smiling at her friend as he gave her a goodnight hug.
