Lucky walked into Tibby's and was greeted by silence. Everything stopped. The usually loud newsies actually stood still and kept their mouths shut. "Hi everyone." Lucky smiled.
Cecile turned to face the familiar voice. "Haley!" she exclaimed. Jumping out of the booth she ran up to her friend and hugged her. "What are you doing here? Where have you been? How are you?" Cecile let out a long stream of questions.
"Cecile!" Haley exclaimed. "How did you?" Haley looked over to see Jack Kelly's eyes shining.
"Told you I'd find her didn't I?" Jack said coming up behind Cecile. "Hey Luck Spot, how's it rollin?"
"How do you know Jack?" Lucky asked Cecile confused.
"I met all the newsies when I lived here in New York for a year." Cecile explained. "What are you doing here?"
"Well I have some newsie history myself. Spot and I go back along time." Lucky explained.
They all sat down to eat and Lucky explained to Cecile and jack and all the newsies who eves dropped what had happened with Justin. When she was done she took a big sigh. She knew she needed to tell them about Boston but she couldn't just yet she didn't have the strength. She would tell them tonight.
After lunch Lucky and Spot headed towards Medda's to let her know Lucky was all right. Cecile and Jack took a walk in Central Park.
"Why didn't you tell me that you knew Haley?" Cecile asked him.
"Wanted to surprise you. So did ya miss me?" Jack asked.
"Don't you wish you knew." Cecile smiled. "I'm not going to be the one to feed your ego Jack Kelly."
"You owe me a favor now you know." Jack grinned.
"A gentlemen never takes favor's from a lady." Cecile smiled coyly.
"Cecile come with me to Medda's show tonight." Jack stopped and faced her.
"Jack I don't know if I can my Grandmother..." Cecile said startled.
"Please Cecile. I've missed ya. Come to the show with me." Jack pleaded.
Cecile smiled. "I'll be there. I can't wait. But I had better be on my way home if I want to go out tonight." Cecile started walking in the direction of her house.
"Cecile wait!" Jack ran up behind her and kissed her on the cheek. "Don't be late."
Cecile almost blushed but she headed on her way.
"I'll tell them tonight Spot." Lucky sighed in her dressing room at Medda's. Medda had welcomed Lucky with open arms. "When do you want to start again? You should wait until you have regained your strength." Medda had said after Lucky told her the story of Justin. "No Medda I want to start again tonight. I will perform in the show tonight." Lucky said firmly. Medda hadn't argued. She knew better. Spot on the other hand hadn't yet learned how stubborn Lucky could be.
"You should have told them at Tibby's." He protested.
"Spot! I will tell them tonight after my performance." Lucky said.
"Fine. I'll be here tonight. I have some things I need to take care of. I'll see you tonight." Spot left and Lucky began to prepare.
That night everyone took their seats, Jack escorting Cecile. The lights dimmed and Medda came on stage. "Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen. Tonight I have a special treat for you! I will not be opening. There is a young girl here tonight we haven't heard from in awhile. She has come back and will sing for you tonight. I present Lucky Peterson!" Medda walked off stage as Lucky walked on. She had on a dark blue dress she had borrowed from one of the other girls. It was long with short sleeves and she had on a pair of white gloves. The song began and she wasn't nervous this time.
/Another day has almost come and gone.
Can't imagine what else could go wrong
Sometimes I'd like to hide away
Somewhere and lock the door.
A single battle lost but not the war
Cause tomorrows another day
And I'm thirsty anyway
So bring on the rain.
It's almost like the hard times circle round
A couple drops
And they all start coming down
Yea I might feel defeated
And I might hang my head
I might be barley breathing
But I'm not dead no
Cause tomorrows another day
And I'm thirsty anyway
So bring on the rain
No I'm not gonna let it get me down
I'm not gonna cry
And I'm not gonna lose any sleep tonight
Cause tomorrows another day
And I am not afraid
So bring on the rain
Tomorrows another day
And I'm thirsty any way
So bring on the rain
No I'm not gonna let it get me down
I'm not gonna cry
So bring on the rain/
The audience applauded as usual. Spot was proud of Lucky for singing her heart out so close to the incident. Lucky bowed and smiled graciously then exited the stage. At the end of the show she, Spot, Hades, Mush, Cecile, and Jack headed back to the Lodging House. They all sat on the roof looking at the night sky.
"Now Luck." Spot whispered to her.
Lucky began her tale.
