Hi everyone, Here's chapter 11. With Itey.

Thank you: to all who reviewed and asked questions…you guys rock.

Disclaimer: If it looks to cleaver to be mine. It probably isn't. Prankster, Ramble and Marbles belong to me. Everyone else either belongs to themselves or belongs to the Disney co.

Episode 11: Itey…I had no Ideer.

(Drum Roll) Riot: That's right boys and girls it's once again time for the well reviewed show… "The Left Shoe Show." (audience applause)

(The hosts are at their desks. Jack, Race, Mush, & Spot are sitting tied to their chairs. Crutchy is sitting next to Butterfly eating jelly doughnuts. Specs is STILL watching shark week. Boots is no where to be found)

Ramble: (sings) I ate a watermelon, and all the seeds fell out and when I went to pick them up they all began to shout,

Ramble & Boys: YOU (YOU'SE) ATE MY (ME) MOMMA!

Prankster: Hello everyone. Today, we have everyone's silent newsie.

Marbles: Well except for Jake.

Prankster: Well of course…the mostly silent newsie Itey.

Racetrack: YOU'RE GUNNA TORTURE ITEY?!?!?!

Marbles: Only if he's being difficult.

Racetrack: But they can't torture Itey, he's too nice.

Ramble: Why Race? Is he your boyfriend?

Racetrack: Let's see…two minutes into the show, me sexual orintation is questioned, now it's da Left Shoe Show, now it can begin.

(Girls shake their heads)

Ramble: You're weird.

Marbles: (ignoring Ramble) Spot's been a little quiet lately.

(Spot glares)

Prankster: Yeah, I'd be a little pissed off if I was given a make over and then some girl stole my diary.

Spot: It's not a diary…it's a journal.

(boys struggle not to laugh)

Prankster: It's filled with your love poems about Marbles…Spot it's a diary.

Spot: YOU READ IT?!?!?! O.O!!!!

Prankster: Ummmm no…I was just teasing….wait a minute….LOVE POEMS TO MARBLES! O.O!!!!!!

(Prankster & Marbles dive for the diary. Prankster gets it first and starts flipping through the pages)

Prankster: Ha! I like this one. Marbles how much I love thee….Let me count the ways…one-one-thousand. Two-one-thousand. Three-one-thousand. (sighs) that's it, no more, "who framed Rodger Rabbit for you."

Marbles: You're both joking, I don't believe ya.

Prankster: as you should! (shows the diary, flipping the pages…it is completely blank)

Ramble: Yeah people, Spot? Fall in love with Marbles? We like our "fan" mail, we don't want any flames any time soon.

Prankster: Yeah, there is no way I could make that happen.

Ramble: Prank…you're the author.

Prankster: yeah, but there will be no romance here. Just good old fashion newsie torturing!

Mush: here here!

Prankster: Anyway, let's get Itey out here.

(Itey is rolled on. He has a VERY confused look)

Prankster: Hi Itey.

Itey: (sees his friends and whispers) What do I do?

Jack: (shakes his head) Just answer their questions, it'll all be over soon.

Itey: (nods his head) oh, (to Prankster) hello what-ever-your-name-is.

Prankster: Hi! I'm Prankster, this is Marbles.

Marbles: Hola

Prankster: and the girl with the 128 deluxe-set of Crayola crayons is Ramble.

Ramble: Yo.

Prankster: all right, the first question comes from Firecracker, "why is Snitch in that awkward position on top of him? it looks like he just threw himself on there at some point in the night!"

Itey: What? Oh, well Snitch and I wouldn't have had to share a bed is Crutchy didn't break his and Snitch was being nice and let Crutchy have his bed.

Ramble: How did Crutchy break his bed?

Itey: have you seen da guy? 'e's huge.

Ramble: O.O OH NO!!!!!

Crutchy: (from offstage, you can hear the voice crack of a sobbing Crutchy) IT'S TRUE I'M FAT! (Butterfly is trying to console him.)

Prankster: (sighs) MONDAY! (Monday walks on stage) Look, I know we agreed that you'd be our mascot, but I think you could help out the most if you were the on stage therapist.

(Crutchy loudly sobs)

Monday: yeah that'd probably be best. (Monday leaves)

Prankster: ok Itey, this is from Falco Colon she asks, "If you could ever see them selves in the musical "chicago" which part would you want?"

Itey: O.o what?

Ramble: I think he'd be the guy that kills the person for popping bubble gum. Only it'd be having people stick their foot in his face.

Marbles: Yeah probably.

Itey: Why are ya talkin' like I ain't here?

Spot: (ignoring Itey) Hey Race these chairs have wheels, lets make a break for it. (starts to roll away)

(Hotshot pushes him back)

Spot: HEY, HOW COME BOOTS AIN'T TIED UP!?!?!?!?!

Itey: Boots is here?

Prankster: Well Spot, the reason Boots isn't tied down, it's because we like him more then you.

Ramble: I'll read, (takes cards) ok this is from Kaylee, "If you were a flavor of ice cream, what flavor would you be?"

Itey: Vanilla

Mush: (mumbles) boring.

Itey: What was that?

Mush: nothing

Ramble: ok again Kaylee, "Do you consider David an idiotic-supersonic-brain infection-disconnection-overweighted-constipated-dingdong-double headed-dork??"

Itey: oh my, it's horrible, David's turned into a…a…a…

Prankster: Hitler?

Itey: Yeah Hitler….wait….who's Hitler?

Prankster: Forget it.

Ramble: ok Kaylee asks, "Do you enjoy eating potatoes?"

Itey: Yes.

Ramble: Kalyee, "What's with you and your suspenders? You're always kissing them and licking them and such."

Itey: Hey! Dere my suspenders an' I'll kiss 'em if I want!

Marbles: oooo I think that was a little attitude.

Prankster: (smiles) I think you're right Marbles.

Prankster & Marbles: GLITTER! LISA!

(Glitter & Lisa come out)

Marbles: Itey has earned himself a makeover after the show.

Itey: (whispers to his friends) is that bad?

Jack: Only if you think Race and Spot look bad.

Itey: O.O (upon seeing Race in parachute pants) help!

Ramble: this question is from Kaylee too, "Do the other newsies miss the ones still here?"

Itey: Of course. Our leader was missin' some say he left for Santa Fe. But Spces, Mush, Boots, Crutchy, Race and Spot were missin' too. So we decided that the plague got 'em.

Prankster: O.o…the plague?

Itey: yeah.

Marbles: I'm reading now. (snatches questions from Ramble. See who it is) Actually Riot, our announcer can read them since they're from her.

Riot: (from her booth) hi.

Itey: (jumps) is that god?

Riot: ummmm no? Anyway, first question, "Did you know Ramble has a crush on you?"

Ramble: What?

Mush: What?

Itey: What?

Ramble: You tell 'em it's not true!

Riot: (monotone) it's not true.

Prankster: is that true?

Riot: No it's not true.

Marbles: ah-ha a double negative!

Ramble: a double negative? You're telling me you have evidence?!?

Prankster: That sounds like a confession to me. (really fast) In fact the double negative has lead to proof positive, I'm afraid you gave yourself away.

Ramble: You've been watching clue again haven't you?

Prankster: yep.

Itey: (impatient) SO DOES OR DOESN'T RAMBLE HAVE A CRUSH ON ME?

Everyone: NO!

Itey: No she does, or no, she doesn't?

Ramble: DON'T!

Riot: CAN I ASK THE QUESTIONS NOW?

Prankster: YES!

Riot: "Why "Itey"? why not anything normal?"

Itey: Well, I was really little when I was a kid. So they called me Itey-Bity. But, it jist got shorten' to Itey.

Riot: "Are the stories about you and Spot true?"

Itey: What? What stories? We 'ave stories? That's news ta me?

Riot: "Do you think your going to get out of here when the questions are done?"

Prankster: yeah right.

Riot: ok I'm done.

Marbles: alright, this is from Crunch, "Boxers or briefs?"

Itey: Neither…

Ramble: so you wear nothing?

Itey: yeah

Prankster: kinky!

Marbles: (ignoring Prankster) ok this is from Galaxy, she asks, "If Specs and Duchty got together how would you feel about it?"

Itey: (shrugs) hmm whatever. Ain't I'm gunna be da moron dat tries ta stop 'em.

Marbles: again Galaxy, "What's your favorite food to get at Tibbys?"

Itey: hmmmm salad….with lots of salt.

(newsboys shake their heads when the word 'salt' is said)

Prankster: SALAD?!?!?! LIFE'S TOO SHORT TO LIVE ON RABBIT FOOD!

Ramble: (ignoring Prankster, to the newsboys) wait! Why salt?

Jack: don'tcha know? Itey's got a ting for salt.

Mush: yeah, it ain't a meal unless Itey dumps salt in everyting he eats.

Race: kindof entertaining actually.

Marbles: like you in parachute pants?

Race: Hey! You leave parachute pants out of this!

Ramble: (takes the questions and ignores the impending doom or Racetrack) ok this is from Checli she asks, "Anyone ever tell you you have just about the cutest smile in the free world? Just thought you should know--And Crutchy! I don't think you're fat at all! You're skinny as all get out--And hell, I wouldn't kick ya outta bed."

Itey: (smiles) actually no, I got a cute smile? (to Spot) ha! Someone like me smile more den you! Ha!

Spot: (evil death glare) hey watch it dimple-boy, one day we ain't gunna be tied up no more, an' dere's lots of dark alleyways in New York.

(Itey looks down sadly)

Ramble: (to comfort Itey) Oh Itey, don't be sad, Spot's just anger because he can't get up.

Itey: yeah he's tied down.

Marbles: No we mean he can't GET up.

Itey: O.o are you two alright?

Prankster: No we mean, he can't have sex!

Spot: Sure tell the world why don't you?

Ramble: O.O good idea! I'll go see Pulitzer! (starts to get up.)

Marbles: Sit down and read the questions!

Ramble: ok, this is from Dodger, "why there are no girls at the lodging house?"

Itey: Well, if we don't count Davy I guess because we don't 'ave room for 'em. I tink dere some goil lodging houses down da street though.

Race: Whoa! When has dere been a goils lodging house.

Itey: Since 'bout two weeks aftah you was abducted.

Race: Figures.

Prankster: That was our last question. So Itey's secret….he likes salt and lots of it.

Itey: does this mean I get to go home?

Marbles: ha! Maybe after your makeover.

Prankster: No send your questions in to Dutchy. We'll see his view of him and Specs. Muhahaha!

Ramble: I ate a watermelon and all the seeds fell out, and when I went to pick 'em up, they all began to shout.

Ramble & boys: (shouts) YOU (YOU'SE) ATE MY (ME) MOMMA!

Itey: That's a good song.

Ramble: I know, but flatter me all you want you're still getting a makeover.

(Itey gets wheeled by Lisa into the abyss of the make-up room)

************** ***************

Ok send your questions to Dutchy. Thanks for reading. Oh btw. The title of the chapter is from a stupid joke I heard.

Q: What do you call deer with no eyes?

A: I have no Ideer.

Since Itey loves his salt, and so do deer, that joke came to me. So again, thanks for reading, bye.
