Disclaimer: I don't own the newises although I wish I owned Specs...oh the
things I would do. Anyways, I don't own the song Hot Stuff either. I only
own Rachel and Olivia.
~Thanks to all my reviewers!! I love you!!! Now, on to the story!~
At around lunch time, Rachel had sold all 20 of her papes and then some of Specs.
"Wow! I must be a really good teacher!" Specs excalimed. Rachel laughed at his joyful expression. *I guess I'll let him think that just because he doesn't know there's a movie about this.*
"Yeah, you really are! Hey, when's lunch?" Her stomach growled and her cheeks turned quite red. Specs checked his pocket watch.
"Right now actually. We're going to go to Tibby's and meet some of the guys, is that ok?" Rachel nodded.
"Any place with food is fine with me!"

Specs held open the door for Rachel as she walked into the noisy room she had been in just last night. Looking around, she saw all the faces she had known for years from the movie. There was Jack and Race and Bumlets and Skittery! She spotted Spot (lol) in a big crowd of newsies towards the center of the room and course, Olivia was in the middle of it all. There were two empty chairs across from her and Blink, obviously saved for them.
Rachel sat down and greeted Olivia as well as Blink. Then she noticed that all the newsies sitting around her were staring. She started to feel a little intimidated and sunk in her chair. Finally, someone spoke. She figured it was Jack but she was too low in her seat to actually see.
"You must be Rachel. Olivia's told us all 'bout ya." Every other newsies mumbled a "hi" and got on eating and/or talking. Rachel began to feel more comfortable so she sat upright in her chair. She was observing everything around her when she noticed that Blink had his arm stretched across the back of Olivia's chair. *Aw, how sweet.* She thought sarcastically in her mind. *That stuff is too cheesy for me.* Then, she noticed that Specs was doing it, too! *Hmm...maybe it's not THAT cheesy* she thought with a smile. This was possibly the best day of her life.

Olivia was having the best day of her life. Blink was the nicest, sweetest and CUTEST guy she had ever met. All the other newsies were just like she had imagined them they would be. They were at Tibby's eating, talking and having a jolly ole time, when something weird happened. Out of all the noise, Olivia could hear a faint beeping noise. She hushed everyone and heard a digitalized version of the song "Hot Stuff".
"Oh my gosh!" Olivia gasped and reached for the ringing cell phone in her pocket. (A/N: I know that cell phones probably wouldn't work in another time dimension, but it does in this story.) All the newsies looked at it curiously while Rachel shook her head. "Hello?" Olivia asked into the reciever. "Eva! Umm...I can't talk right now but I'll call you back later!" She hastily turned off her phone and set it on the table. No one was talking except Rachel, who was chuckling a bit. Olivia lowered her eyebrows in confusion. "What?" Blink carefully picked up the pink, sparkly box and held it.
"What is this?" All the newsies leaned in, thinking it was some kind of secret. Rachel started laughing hysterically until Specs shushed her.
"Sorry." She said, trying to hold in her laughter.
"Well, it's a cell phone." Olivia told the eager newsies. "You use it to call people when you're not home." Snitch spoke up.
"Call people? What's that?" Olivia pondered for a moment. How could she explain that?
"Well, let's see. In my time, everyone has a phone number, yeah? You can use that number to talk to a person whenever you want. That's what those buttons are for." She pointed to the numbers on the phone that Blink was still holding.
"OH!" Each newsie exclaimed. They all went back to talking and Olivia sighed.

"The soul selects her own society, then shuts the door. On her divine majority, obtrude no more." Rachel recited a poem she had memorized for school last year. Specs was amazed at her eloquence.
"That was beautiful, Rach. Who wrote it?" Rachel's face turned bright pink. Boys had said stuff like that to her before, but Specs was different. He actually appreciated poetry and books.
"Emily Dickinson. She's my favorite." Specs' hand brushed her shoulder and butterflies invaded Rachel's stomach. After a few moments of silence, Specs cleared his throat.
"Um, maybe we should go and finish sellin' our papes." Blink overheard that and suggested it to Olivia. Both girls agreed and the four got up, saying good-bye to all the newsies.
