Mary opened her eyes and looked around. She was lying in a bed, and next to her was a girl, about her age with dark brown hair and brown eyes. What was strange was that her hair was cut shorter like her own, which was unusual for girls at that time.
"Good, your awake. I've been keeping the guys outta here for hours." The girl said.
"Where, where am I?" Mary asked.
"The newsboy lodging house. I'm Brownie by the way." The girl said.
"Mary," Mary replied. "But, but who, why?"
"Why are you here? Who brought you here? Why aren't you laying in the road or with that Oscar Delancy?" Brownie smiled, but said the name Oscar Delancy as if it were the foulest creature on earth.
"Ya, something like that," Mary said.
"Well," Brownie started, but just then, Jack Kelly came in through the window.
"You wouldn't let me in!" he said. "I needed a way...holy cow, you're that goil from Medda's! I didn't recognize ya last night" he said as he caught sight of Mary.
"Yeah that's me," Mary said. "You're the guy that saved me from Oscar and Morris I suspect."
"Yeah I saved you from that pond scum. Me and Race that is." Jack said.
"Well, now that you seem better Mary, I'd better let the guys in before the break down the door." Brownie said.
She walked over to the door and opened it. About 3 guys who'd been leaning on the door fell in. A second later, in rushed a herd of boys.
"Hey, everybody, shut up!" Jack called out. The room silenced. "Everybody, line up as I introduce ya."
The boys formed a pathetic line, as Jack started callin out strange names.
"Dis is Race, Blink, Specs, Bumlets, Boots, Skittery, Pie Eater, Snipeshooter, Snotty, and Mush. We're the newsies."
Mary looked at the boys, then did a double take at the last one. It couldn't be, but the resemblence was uncanny. She stood up mesmerized as she walked over to mush.
"Mush, your name was eh?" Mary asked with a quiver in her voice.
"Yeah," Mush replied. "Whats it to ya?"
"I'm so sorry," Mary blurted out.
"For what?" Mush replied bewilderd.
Mary was acting very strange, she just looked at Mush as tears started welling in her eyes.
"Can I see your left hand?" Mary asked.
"Uh, ok," Mush said as he stuck out his hand, the one with the freckle on it in the corner.
"Oh my," Mary said, as she flung her arms around Mush. Mush, startled was speechless.
Mary wiped her eyes. "I'm sorry that I didn't run fast enough to catch that train that day. I'm sorry that I broke the promise. I'm sorry that I couldn't find you."
"Mary, what's going on?" Asked Jack, confused.
"M, M, Mary?" Mush choked. He grabed her left hand and fliped it over. On it was a freckle, just like his.
"Yeah, Aaron, it's me," Mary laughed.
Mush grabbed her and picked her up. He swung her around and set her down. He was laughing and jumping around like a child on Christmas. "Mary oh Mary, I though I lost you. You look so different!"
"Me! how about you, almost a man!" Mary exclaimed as she hit Mush on the chest.
Brownie starred at her boyfriend. Then she said almost defensively, "Mush, how do you know Mary?"
"Well, she's my sista." Mush joyfully said as he held Mary.
"Older or younger?" Jack wanted to know.
"Well, actually," Mary said.
"Were twins," Mary and Mush said in unison.
The newsies just starred.
"So do you want the story?" Mary asked.
They nodded. What had happened was this:
Mary and Mush's mother died when they were 5. The two of them promised her that they would take care of each other. They were sent to an orphanage where they lived untill they were 7. At that age, Mush was taken away on a train that would take him to a home or another orphanage. Mary tried but failed to get on the train. After that, she escaped from the orphanage and vowed to get her brother back. She went from being a doctors apprentice to a Chicago newsie to another orphanage. Then they dumped her with an abusive man who she ran away from and came to New York. She found Medda and applied for a job there. She was walking in the streets one day when she ran into Oscar, and that's how she came to be here.
When the story was down, Mush, who was glowing, grabbed his sister and his girl, Brownie, and said, "Life's great! I got my one girl back, and my odda girl still, and I got a bed ta sleep in."
"You and Brownie are together?" Mary asked.
"Yup," Brownie replied.
Mary privately rejoyced, for she liked Brownie a great deal. And Brownie was glad, cause she liked Mary. All was good in the lodging house that morning.
