A/N; Very short chapter... but yea. You get the point. Sweets is introduced... she owns herself ;) I don't own Newsies, or Sweets or Doll. lol... you know.


You'se in love.

"Oh, girls," Medda squealed, "This is gonna be great. These guy's'll be lovin' you'se so much!" She sighed and looked at the two young girls stand in front of her. She looked at each one and could see they were still nervous, even with their passion for being in front of a crowd.
"Now girls, listen... the key is ta have fun. Act like the guys aren't there, if ya have to. Trust me, these guy's'll be head over heels for you twos. They'll be swarming around you afterwards.. and if you'se gots a guy, they'll be even prouder for you to be hangin' on their arm!" Medda said happily, trying to boost their self confidence. At the mention of having their own guy, Marit looked down at her feet. How am I going to perform and look happy when I'm not? she thought to herself. She sighed heavily and looked up. Medda stared back at her with a concerned look on her face, "What's amatter sugar?" "Oh, it's nothing." Marit answered.
"Ok, but you know you can talk to me about anything right?" Medda told Marit. Marit nodded.
"Alright girls! You've got your cute little dresses, and now it's time to go!" she said as she clapped her hands together, "Off you go!"
Medda wasn't lying when she said small. She'd told the girls this was suppose to be a "seductive" routine, and it required a rather smaller dress. The dresses was rather short, and tight fitting.
She shooed them to the edge of the stage. The lights went off, and the curtain closed. Medda gave each of them a little kiss on the forehead and wished them luck before she sent them to positions.
"Ready? Alright.... lights!" Medda yelled as all the lights came back on and the curtain opened and revealed the two girls.

"HOLY SHIT!" Spot yelled as the curtain opened, showing Marit and Doll.
Race, Jack and a few other guys at the table who had their backs away from the stage turned around to see what the excitement that had burst out all over the room was about.
When Race saw the girls on stage he quickly turned around and scoffed. He looked around and saw all the guys hooting and hollering at the two.
Jack turned around to see Race eyeing numerous guys around the room. He sighed, and leaned over and whispered in his ear, "You'se in love wit her..."
Race jerked away and looked at Jack in shock.
"I am not!" he yelled in protest.
"Liar... look at her! I'se can see it in your eyes... and look at her.. she can't stop watching you." Jack said motioning to the small girl on stage. Race gave in and looked up in the direction Jack had motioned towards. Sure enough, she was staring. No matter what she did, she was eyeing the table where the guys were sitting.
Race sighed, "But she doesn't love me."
Jack tried to keep himself from laughing as he sat down his drink, "She's in love wit you'se too... you can tell. A goil that pretty, that could have almost anyone she pleases.... isn't gonna waste her time crying over you. She's in love.... trust me."
Race looked down at the table. What if she is? he thought.


Marit giggled as another guy tried to convince her to go out with him.
"I'm sorry, I've got my eye on someone..." she said, eyeing Race who turned and glanced at her, before turning away quickly.
"Oh... could I'se at least have a kiss on da cheek?" he said hopefully. A few of his guy friends snickered.
Marit blushed, "Soire." She leaned forward and gave the boy a kiss on the cheek.
"Thanks," he said, blushing brightly.
"Welcome.." Marit said walking away. Looking back, seeing the guys crowd around the boy she'd just kissed on the cheek. She walked through the crowd looking for someone she knew. As she got outside of the building, she saw Jack.
"Jack! Hey!" Marit said coming up to him, noticing the long haired girl by his side.
"Oh heya! You'se were great!" Jack said as he hugged Marit.
"Thanks... who's this?" Marit said as she gestured to the girl.
"I'se Sweets, and you'se?" she said extending her hand.
Marit took her hand and smiled, "I'se Marit, Blink's lil sista. You'se Jack's goil now?"
"Mairt? No newsie name, aye? Looks like we'll have ta think ya up one! Well, I'se hope to be his goil soon..." Sweets said, giggling and nudging Jack in the side.
"Oh.. I see." Marit said smiling, "Well... where's everyone so I'se can leave you'se two alone?"
"Race should be over there.." Jack said pointing to the small crowd a few feet away from them.
Marit eyed Jack and tapped her foot, "He's not speakin' to me, and you'se know it."
"And you'se know what else I'se know? He's in love wit you..." Jack said, lighting his cigarette.
Marit rolled, her eyes, "Ok, whatever Jack. Well it was really nice meeting you." Marit shook Sweets hand again and threw up her hand at Jack as she walked away.
"WELL IF IT ISN'T LITTLE MISS RED HOT HERSELF?!" Mush yelled as he grabbed Marit up and twirled her around.
"Little Miss Dizzy if you ask me now..." Marit said acting as if she was drunk and couldn't stand straight.
Mush laughed and brought her to the group of people he was already with. She looked straight across and saw race staring at her, smoking his cigar. After a few minutes of chatting with everyone, Marit escaped from Mush and grabbed Andrew who was passing by.
"Hey." she said grabbing his shoulder.
"What do you'se want?" Andrew said harshly.
"I'se want you to walk me home." she said taking her hand off his shoulder.
"Oh, well I'se not going that way.." Andrew said throwing down his cigarette and staring at the young girl.
"Oh, ok. I'll just go by myself..." she said turneing and walkign away from the crowd. Andrew hesitated, and rolled his eyes. God, why does she do this to me??? he thought as he ran to catch up with her.
"Wait! Marit!" he said as he slowed down once her reached her side.
"Yes?" she said looking over at him. Her bright blue eyes stared back at him.
"You'se sad...." Andrew said pushing back the strands of hair in her face.
"How'd ya guess?" she said sarcastically.
"You're eyes changed ta blue... when dere blue you're sad..." Andrew said lighting another cigarette.
"Yea... dey da don't dey..." she said grinning.
"Yup, sure do."
Andrew sighed and looked up at the dark sky.
"That was one hell of a performance you'se and Doll put on back dere."
"Thanks.. dat dress was so uncomfortable. I'se felt naked..."
"Well, it looks like all da guys liked it. It complimented your curves..." Andrew said looking at her and wiggling his eyebrows. Marit laughed and playfully shoved him.
After that, there wasn't much said between the two the rest of the way to the Manhattan Lodging House.
"Well, here we are..." Andrew said as they stopped in front of the Lodging House.
"Guess so... thanks." Marit said. Andrew smiled and enveloped the small girl into a hug.
"You'se welcome." he said before he leaned forward and kissed her, "Take care. I'll see ya soon."
"Yea, bye." Marit said as she turned and walked up the steps.
