A/N- Thanks for all the notes… I'll list all of your names next time J Oh, and I forgot to say in the first two chapters that I don't own the newsies. I own Kim, Mandy, Mr. S. and Mrs. Teaker. I also own the idea for this story.
Chapter 3
Two days later the band loaded the buses for the long ride to band camp. It was a six hour trip that no one was looking toward to. Some how Kim and Mandy had ended up on the same bus as Spot and the rest of the percussionist. Fortunately, Kim and Mandy sat on the front of the bus, while Spot sat in the back.
"What are they singing to? IT'S GIVING ME A HEADACHE!" Spot said loudly, hoping the two girls would get the hint.
"We're singing to Newsies!" Kim said loudly in answer to Spot's question. Mandy then burst into laughter beside her.
"Newsies? What is Newsies?" Jack muttered to himself.
"It's a movie that's also a musical." Spot answered rubbing his temples.
"Anyone up for some cards?" Racetrack asked.
"No…" Almost everyone on the bus shouted. They all knew Racetrack would win, so it was pointless to play.
"Well I'm gonna go ask the girls." Race told them. He slowly made his way up to the front of the bus, where he found the two girls playing a game he'd never even seen before. "What are ya playin'?"
"The Ice Cream Game." Mandy said with out looking up. "Vanilla." She said pulling out a plate.
"ICE CREAM!" Kim shouted.
"You might wanna keep it down. You're givin' Spot a headache." Racetrack told her.
"I have some Tylenol if he would like some… Dangit! We tied again!" Kim replied. Mandy put the game back into its' box and then turned to Racetrack.
"You're Racetrack right?" Mandy asked him.
"Yeah."
"Good cuz I'm trying to learn everyones names… well at least the percussion section." She explained.
"So do you two wanna play cards?" Race asked them.
"Sure!" Kim smiled. A moment later the bus stopped for lunch break.
"Ok… Maybe later, then." Race replied running back to his seat to get his lunch. The two girls exited the bus and found an empty picnic table at the rest stop. They then ate their lunch and returned to the bus. They saw Mush was still sitting in his seat near the back of the bus.
"Didn't you eat anything?" Kim asked.
"No. I forgot my lunch in my car." Mush fumed.
"Do you want some of mine? I have lots of leftovers, and so does Mandy…" Kim offered.
"What do you have?" Mush asked. The two girls took their lunched back to him.
"I have part of my cheese pizza lunchable left. I also have some Sweedish Fish." Mandy told him.
"I have another Mountain Dew and some yougart. Oh I also have some chips! And some more… oh I don't know what all is in here…" Kim said handing her lunch pale to Mush.
"Ok I'll take the lunchable, the pop, the chips, and some Sweedish Fish." Mush said taking his share of the lunches. The two girls sat in the seat next to Mush and talked while he ate. After a few minutes Spot came back on the bus.
"You're in my seat." He said glaring at the two girls.
"Ok, we'll move. Thanks for asking!" Mandy said with a fake smile. She walked back to her seat and Kim followed her. When they got back to their seat Kim pulled some Tylenol out of her bag. She walked back to Spot and held out two.
"I figured since I gave you a headache, I could at least give you some Tylenol." Kim told him.
"Thanks." Spot murmured taking the Tylenol. Both Mush and Mandy looked at Spot in shock that he had actually said 'Thanks.' Kim just smiled and headed back to her seat.
A little while later, the Van Mary Band was back on the long road to band camp. Kim, Mandy, and Racetrack played cards. Spot slept. And Mush told the rest of the bus about Spot saying 'Thanks,' which stunned everyone.
