Jack and Angel were the first ones to reach Tibby's. They reserved one of
the huge tables for all the newsies. Jack and Angel stared at each other
only to be interrupted by Race and Harmony who came charging through the
door. Harmony ran to a seat next to Angel. Race followed and took a seat
next to Harmony. Everyone stared at them. "Beat ya!" Harmony sang in a
sweet melodic voice.
"Did not." Race mockingly sang back to her. She quickly turned her glance to him.
"Oh yes I did." Harmony said staring deep into his eyes. But Race was just as stubborn as she was, and wasn't about to give up.
"No ya didn't, Sweetheart." Race said putting his arm around her shoulder. She elbowed him in the stomach making him quickly remove it.
"I won fair an square, so deal wit it!" Harmony said in a 'matter-of- fact' tone. Before he could think up a rebuke, Vigor came running in with Kid Blink coming in behind her. Vigor quickly grabbed a chair and placed it between Race and Harmony.
"So how's everybody doin' today?" Vigor asked trying to kept the edge out of her voice. Her eyes widen as she looked over at Angel trying to tell her something, but couldn't in front of the others. Angel looked at her in confusion trying to understand the look but couldn't. She was about to ask her what was up, but Race spoke up not about to drop the subject.
"I ain't gonna deal wit it! I left ya in da dust behind me!" Race demanded. Harmony glared at him not about to give up.
"The only dust dere was came from me beatin' your sorry little . . ." But Harmony didn't get a chance to finish.
"Dey're hidin' somethin' Jack, didn't ya notice how strange dey've been actin'?" Kid Blink pointed out. Vigor turned red with anger and frustration.
"WE AIN'T HIDIN' NOTHIN'!" Vigor yelled at him letting her penned up anger explode. Toby, the dancing waiter, walked over to quiet them down. It didn't quite work! "Quiet down, quiet down or else you will be permanently kicked out of this restaurant!" "My little what, huh? Ya too slow ta even finish yer own sentences!" Race demanded.
"YOUR LITTLE . . . " Harmony began once more, but Kid Blink interrupted.
"Oh yes you are hiding somethin'! Or else ya wouldn't of kept lying whenever I asked ya a question!" Kid Blink demanded.
"Did you honestly think that I am about to give into your little tricks to find out the truth?!?" Vigor demanded standing up.
"Ya just too slow, admit it! Ya couldn't finish dat sentence if yer life depended on it!" Race stated.
"YOUR SORRY LITTLE . . ." Harmony yelled at Race. Once more she was interrupted.
"HEY!" Spot screamed who had just arrived with Sassy.
"AAA . . . " Harmony started to yell but Angel quickly covered her mouth so it came out rather muffled.
"What's goin' on hea?" Spot demanded acting like the man in charge.
"Butt out Spot! Mind yer own business!" Harmony said once she had removed Angel's hand from her mouth. Now it was Spot's turn let his furry take over.
"Why you little!" Spot said walking over to Harmony. He started punching his fist in his hand.
"Back off Spotty!" Vigor demanded standing in his way. Spot didn't say anything, he just started throwing punches at Vigor. Vigor returned them, taking all of her anger at Kid Blink out on Spot.
"Hey leave her alone!" Harmony declared and joined in the fight. Sassy, who had been standing at the doorway, ran to help out Spot. Soon it was one big punching contest. Before anyone could win or lose, Toby stepped in and kicked all of them out including Jack and Angel who had stayed out of everything! Being too agitated at each other everyone walked in their own direction, leaving Jack and Angel behind. They decided to go pick up some more papers.
"Did not." Race mockingly sang back to her. She quickly turned her glance to him.
"Oh yes I did." Harmony said staring deep into his eyes. But Race was just as stubborn as she was, and wasn't about to give up.
"No ya didn't, Sweetheart." Race said putting his arm around her shoulder. She elbowed him in the stomach making him quickly remove it.
