Hey Guys and Gals!!!
Sorry I haven't updated in a long time but I've had to get my ideas straight!! So that I have to say for the time being!!
Chapter Twenty-Two
Da Gift and Something Else
Rhythm took the box from Race's hands and opened it. She gasped when she saw....
A gold charm-bracelet with four charms already on it.
The first was a music note, the second was a playing card, the third was a beer mug and the last was a red rose out lined in silver.
She looked up at the smiling faces and then looked back at the gift in her hands. She was speechless so Race spoke for her.
"The music note's from the guys, the card's from me, and the beer mug's Ging. But I really don't get why she picked da mug. And last but not least, the rose's from Jack."
Rhythm just looked back at them with stunned eyes. They waited for her to say something, but when she didn't Crutchy asked, "Do youse like it?"
"WHAT IS YOUSE CRAZY, I'SE LOVE IT!!!" She said and then she ran up to each of the guys and gave them a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
When she got to Ging she started to laugh, she knew why her present was a beer mug. It was to represent the night where they beat the shit out of the Delancey Brothers. She hugged Ging and then she ran up to Jack and kissed him on the lips.
After a while they didn't break a part and no one wanted to see them so the newsboys left the two lovebirds alone.
When they finally broke apart Jack took the bracelet from Rhythm's grasp and put it on her left wrist. Then took her hand and began to walk down the street.
"Was it youse idea?" Asked Rhythm as they walked to Central Park.
"Was what me idea?" Jack asked.
"Da bracelet smart ass!!"
"Oh dat, not really it was Ging's. But the rose was all mine."
She tiptoes up and kissed him on the cheek.

They spent the day doing all sorts of things. First they walked through the park. But the walk soon turned into a run when Rhythm stole Jack's bandana and he had to catch her to get it back. The next stop was Medda's!
When Medda saw Rhythm she stopped what she was doing and gave her a hug. They talked for a while and then Medda gave Rhythm her present.
"Here this is for you, oh and I hope it fits." Medda said while pulling a dress out of a trunk. "Do you like it?"
"Oh God Medda it's beautiful. I's love it!"
"Good cause its yours, I made it for you when Jack told me it was your birthday. Now go try it on!!" With that she pushed Rhythm behind a changing curtain and sat down next to Jack.
When Rhythm had finish changing she walked out from behind the curtain to get their approval.
Jack just sat there with his eyes popped out and his mouth open. She was wearing a light blue dress that stopped at her knees. It buttoned down in the front, and the collar was square shaped. It had no sleeves since it was summer, but it did have about 1-inch straps. She turned around to show the back, which had the same collar shape as the front.
"It looks beautiful on ya." Jack said when he came to his senses.
"Yes it does and I will keep these clothes here for now." Medda said taking the clothes that Rhythm had been wearing and placed them in the trunk. "Now off with you and have a good birthday sweetie."
Rhythm thanked Medda and then they were off. They had lunch in a small bakery and then they spent the rest off the day just walking around the city doing nothing in particular.
Rhythm and Jack were in the middle of a store watching a woman and a man argue about which one was right about a price when they heard a clock chime four.
"Oh shit we's supposed ta be... lookin for a... uh... a flower." Jack was about ta tell Rhythm about her party when he caught him self.
"What the fuck is youse talking about Jack?!?!" Rhythm said as she was pulled off her feet and out the door.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
All the guys of the Manhattan and Brooklyn newsies had only spent half they day working. Now it was almost time that Jack would be bringing her back for her party. And they were waiting for them on top of the LH.
The Brooklyn newsies had gotten on good terms with Rhythm ever since they had met her. She had been spending a lot of time with Ging over at the docks. But they were always watch closely by Spot, Jack, or Race and sometimes all three so they wouldn't cause e any trouble.
"They's coming!!" yelled Smalls (Les).
Every one got looked at the fire escape and yelled when Rhythm walked up it followed by Jack.
"Oh My God!!! I can't believe dis!!!" Yelled Rhythm as she saw the roof of the house. The band was in one corner of the roof and there were tables on the other side. Ginger walked over to Rhythm and handed her a beer, and then gave her a hug.
"Happy Birthday Rhythm, oh and try ta stay sober we's gonna have a girls noight out afta da party!" She said as she pulled back from the hug. She smiled and led Rhythm to the dance floor. The music started to play and Rhythm began to dance.
The band played all types of songs slow, fast, things that you could dance to others that were just there to be heard.
The last dance was a slow where all the guys got to dance with the birthday girl.
The last newsie that dance with her was Jack and he kissed her after the dance was over.
"Ok guys and gals da party's over so go HOME!! Mouth yelled on top of a table. He was drunk and every one could see it was his first time. He one had one beer and then he start to dance like his pants were on fire.
*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*
After the party was over the Brooklyn Newsies went home and the Manhattan went down the fire escape and went to bed.
About a half an hour after Jack had yelled "lights out" Rhythm walked over to the window and climbed out of it. Then she made her way down the fire escape. She jumped of the last step and waited for Ginger to get there.
