It's a Mad World

"So, you'se made a move yet?" Kid Blink leaned closer to his friend, Solitaire. Solitaire laughed at his friend's eagerness.
"Yeah. I'se talked to them a bit, but they don't think I'se serious."
Mush looked puzzled. "Serious about what?" He asked, his face crinkling into a confused look.
Solitaire glared at Blink. "I thought you told him all about it."
Blink shrugged. "I did once. I guess I can tell him again. Now Mush, since John became Solitaire, he's been a real Newsie. He want's to be the next leader of Manhattan."
Mush blinked. "But wouldn't Jack not like that?"
"That's why we has to get Jack out of the way! We has to get all the other newsies to help us, and maybe Jack can go off, get a real job, and marry that girl of his."
"You mean Sarah?"
Blink slapped Mush upside the head. "No, you bonehead! Sarah and Jack broke up last year; don't you know anything? He's been seeing this one girl, I think her name is Andy."
Solitaire frowned. "Isn't Andrew a boy's name?"
"It is, but she ain't named Andrew. Andy's short for Adriane, or something like that."
Solitaire interrupted. "As much as I'd like to discuss Jack's girl, I really need to know what to do about leading Manhattan."
"Well, you'se could ask everyone what it would take to make them make you their leader." Mush suggested.
Solitaire looked excited. "That's a crazy, complicated idea that will take a lot of time, but-"
"Sorry. I'se a bonehead."
"But it might just work! Let's go! I think we'll start with Racetrack. He's always been real nice."
THE MUSES SPEAK!
Aguachica: Wow, that was a long break!
Blink!muse: If you have any suggestions for Aguachica, e-mail them to her at bobcat87@dc.rr.com.
Mush!muse: She is looking for suggestions about little chores John could do for various newsies to convince them that he would be a good leader.
John!muse: Gee, I've got a new name! Solitaire. Except Aguachica keeps forgetting and writing John instead.
Aguachica: Old habits die hard. Now review! Pretty Please?
