Alexandria: Now for the incredibly amusing, wonderful, fabulous-
Spot!Muse: Oh, get on with it already!
Alexandria: *hurt look* fine. Now for chapter two of "Anyone"
________________________________________________________________________
Chapter Two: A new . . . er . . . man.
"No.'
Spot's smile grows. He doesn't speak an answer, instead he merely nods.
"You've got to be kidding me."
Spot turns in his chair to see who just walked in the door, then bursts out laughing. He turns back around and smiles at Blink.
"Have at it."
At that moment, Mush sees the five newsies sitting around the table. He walks over to them and sits at the chair next to Blink. Blink goes rigid and stares straight ahead. Spot's smile turns to a smirk.
"Heya Mush! How's it goin'?"
Mush, glancing oddly at Blink in confusion, nods in reply. Swifty attempts to slide Mush a drink, but it stops short of it's target.
"Here ya go Mush." A smile creeps its way onto his face as he holds back maniacal laughter. "Oh Blink, give Mush his drink, will ya? I didn't quite reach my goal."
Mush, more confused than before, takes his drink from Blink. Dutchy breaks into laughter when he sees Blink's face turn bright red with embarrassment. Blink mumbles an excuse to leave and runs out of the room. Spot stands as well.
"S'cuse me boys I got an investment I gotta take care of."
As he walks out after Blink, Mush looks at the three newsies left at the table.
"What'd I miss?"
Jack, Dutchy, and Swifty exchange looks and break into laughter.

In the next room, Blink turns to Spot. He looks angry enough to kill.
"No. I will not seduce Mush!"
Spot seems unfazed by this.
"It'll be no problem, Blink. Alls ya gotta do is dress up an play the part."
Blink relaxes a little, but still holds a defensive stance.
"It's simple, Blinky-boy. Put on a dress, get some fake hair, an we can make you a decent lookin' broad If ya can hide that eye-patch of yers, he'll never know it's you."
Blink sighs and sits in a chair that has been pushed against the wall.
"I don't know if I can do this, Spot. I mean, it's Mush."
Spot walks up to him, puts a hand on each of Blink's shoulders, and gets so close to his face that their noses almost touch.
"Blink, ya've got no choice. C'mon, I know where we can find what you need."

Twenty minutes later, Spot enters the boarding house on the arm of a blue- eyed, chocolate brown haired girl. The newsies turn to see who has entered, and all conversation stops. Blink, the 'girl' on Spot's arm, blushes deeply. Could it be possible that everyone is in on the joke? Maybe they recognize him? His fears are dissuaded when the silence is broken by catcalls. Jack, Mush, and Dutchy walk up to him with their hats off. Jack steps up in front of the other two and sticks out his hand.
"Welcome to the boarding house. My name's Jack Kelly and these two good-for- nothin's behind me are Mush and Dutchy."
At the sound of his name, Mush blushes, and steps forward.
"I'm Mush. Who might you be?"

Racetrack!Muse: Um, where'd his eye-patch go?
Alexandria: All in good time, my crazy ones, all in good time.
