"Please tell me you're just kiddin' Blink." Blue said in major shock.
"No Blue, I'm not kiddin'." I said looking at her.
"What da hell are you doin' Blink? You can't stay here. You have a family back home!" Blue said moving away from me. "You have to go back! Why would you do such a thing? Why?"
"Why? You want to know why? Because of you! Blue you have completely changed me life. You're such an inspiration. You live on your own and you're doin' fine. I can't rely on me parents all me life. Comin' here was a complete culture shock. I didn't realize how much of me childhood dat I've missed. You and da other Newsies know how to really live. You guys wake up every mornin', do your job and just live life! You don't waste it away in school like I do."
"No see Blink, dat's where you're wrong! You do not waste your live away in school. Do you see da way us Newsies live? Sure it may seem like we have tons of fun, but we'se goin' to grow up to be a nobody. Unlike you Blink, you're goin' to actually grow up to become someone. You're goin' to go to school to get a good job, and to be able to provide for da family dat you're goin' to have someday. You have so much potential Blink, why are you throwin' it away!"
"Because of you! I like you Blue, you have NO idea. I've been a loner all me life, and really had no one. Dis is da first time I actually had someone, and you mean more to me then you'll ever know. You actually made me feel human for a change. Blue, I don't know how to explain it to you because I can't put words to how I feel! I just can't."
"I should go." Blue said beginning to walk away.
"Blue please understand what I'm talking about."
"Blink I can't! Dis is da lowest thing you have ever done. You have a wonderful family back home and a great chance at a wonderful future, and you're goin' to throw dat away all because of a girl. Dat makes no sense, especially me! You don't have da faintest idea of who I am! You know nothin' about me. I'm not da girl dat you think I am, and if you knew, you would have left a long time ago." She turned away.
"Don't you see Blue? Dat's da thing; I want to get to know you! I want to learn all about you, dat's what I love so much about you!" I said grabbing her hand.
"What did you just say?" Blue snapped back.
"I said dat I want to learn all about you."
"No, after dat."
"Dat dat's what I love about you."
"Don't you ever say dat you love me!" She was practically in tears now. She turned around and was heading back to the lodging house.
"Blue please come back!" I yelled but nothing was going to stop her. I guess I'll try my luck again back at the lodging house.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Back at the lodging house not many could be found. It was only Jack, Race, and Mush. Most were still out selling papers, but the rest were either at Tibby's, or just out and about. Mush was trying to work on a card for Cards because their two month anniversary was coming up in the next four days. Since he really didn't have any money to buy her anything, he was trying his luck on writing her a card.
"Finished!" Mush said slapping his hand down on the table.
"In record time too." Race said sitting on his bed with a deck of cards.
"Do you guys want to hear it?" Mush was getting all excited.
"Not really but your not goin' to listen to us anyways." Jack said reading a pamphlet.
"Your right Jack. I woiked really hard on dis card, so here it is: Dear Cards, Hi. It's Mush. I'm writing you a card. Get it, card, for Cards, haha. Here's a poem just for you: Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, if you were a booger, than I'd pick you. Love, Mush. Well guys, what did you think?" Mush said smiling.
"Are you pretendin' to be stupid or are you just like dat?" Race didn't bother looking up.
"What? What's wrong wid it?" Mush was confused.
"What's wrong wid it is dat it sucks. You can't write poems to save your life, so why don't you just lay her for your anniversary." Jack walked over to Mush.
"Too predicable." Mush said.
"Why don't you just ask one of da girls to help you? Eire is good wid dat kind of thing, or Soaker or even Spitball." Race said still playing with his cards.
"Cheatah's good too." Jack was getting defensive.
"Yeah well not as good as da other girls."
"Are you puttin' down me girl Race?" Jack was getting angry.
"Well no, but I'm just sayin'..." Race was suddenly interrupted by someone storming to the lodging house. It was Blue.
"Hey Blue, are you okay?" Jack asked.
"Have you guys seen Skittery?" She asked with tears running down her cheeks.
"Yeah, he went to Tibby's. Are you sure you're okay? We've never seen you cry. Where's Blink?" Race finally looked away from his cards.
"He's at Central Park. Please don't tell him where I went; I'll talk to him when I come back." She began to turn around but was stopped by Mush.
"Heya Blue, um, if you need a shoulder to cry on, I have a free one right here." Mush said patting his shoulder.
"Stop hittin' on her Mush!" Race and Jack both yelled.
"Sorry, oh and do you know how to write poems?"
"Mush!" They yelled louder.
"Thanks guys." Blue said as she headed for Tibby's.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Snitch and Trigger were in the girl's common room, across the hall from the boy's common room where Jack, Race and Mush were located. They were on her bed, lying in each others arms. Usually that is where they went to spend sometime alone.
"So whata wanna do today?" Snitch asked running his fingers through her hair.
"Don't care, what do you wanna do?" Trigger replied.
"Say, you aren't doin' anythin' tonight are you?"
"Well I kinda have a date wid a certain someone."
"Oh really? So whats he look like?"
"Well he's about 6 feet tall, brown hair, hazel eyes, goofy lookin' face, kind of weird personality, beaver teeth, and pretty much da all around loser."
"Hey!"
"I never said it was you."
"Oh so your cheatin' on me now."
"Oh you know it." She winked at him. "Why do you ask?"
"Oh just wonderin' what a pretty girl like you is gonna do tonight." Snitch said. He had planned a nice night on the town for Trigger. See when they first met, Trigger told Snitch that she had always dreamed of riding in a carriage, like the really important people. So Snitch had been planning this great romantic night for her in a carriage thing that took them around town.
"Well I guess I can rearrange me plans, but just dis once, cuz I have a hot date at Tibby's."
"Alright, but trust me, your not gonna wanna miss dis." He said with a wink.
"Now I really wanna know."
"Can't tell you. Just gonna have to wait and see."
"Ooh, I'm in suspense now." She said sarcastically.
"Hey, don't spoil da moment."
"You know I'm kiddin' beaver." She laid back down and they continued to spend the afternoon alone.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Blue walked in the doors at Tibby's and saw Skittery sitting at the table by the window. She rushed over to him and sat down in tears.
"My God Blue, what happened?" Skittery asked dropping the hotdog he was eating.
"Blink and I just got into a fight."
"What did he do to you? Did he hurt you?"
"No, he didn't do anythin', I'm just very upset wid him and he said somethin' dat I didn't expect and it just really hit me hard."
"Come here." Skittery said. Blue walked around the table and sat in the chair next to Skittery. He began wiping her tears.
"Tell me what happened."
"Well we were just sittin' in Central Park, and I brought up da fact dat he was leavin' soon because he said he was stayin' two weeks. Well then he got kind of uncomfortable and said dat he needed to tell me somethin'. I didn't think anythin' of it because I was tryin' to cherish da moment dat we had. He then said to me dat what he said earlier about only spendin' two weeks, was incorrect and dat he lied to me. He's not returnin' home. He's stayin' here forever."
"Are you serious?"
"Yes. Dat's what I said at first. I was very mad at him because he has a wonderful family dat loves him very much and has a great future but he is throwin' dat all away because of me. I was so pissed off because he has such potential Skittery. He's goin' to grow up to make a great fatha, husband and worker because he actually has a future and he wants to throw dat away because of me. I asked him why and he said dat he had been a loner all his life, and really had no one, and dis was da first time dat he actually had someone, and I mean more to him then he'll ever know. I told him dat he knows nothin' about me, dat I'm not da person he thinks I am. And dat's when he said it. He said dat dat's why he wanted to stay, because he wanted to know everythin' about me, and dat's what he loves about me. When he said loves, I just flipped out on him. I feel so bad now because of da way I acted but he doesn't know. He doesn't understand why I don't want him to fall in love wid me. And it hurts me so much because I want to love him so much but, I just can't Skittery." Her head began to sink.
"Hey, you did nothin' wrong! I can understand how upset you are wid him because of his decision, but I can't blame him."
"Skittery, your suppose to be on me side!"
"Blue, I am on your side, but you have to understand dat dis poor guy had no one before you. He doesn't know how to act or handle it. He always doesn't know about your past. Blue if you want him in your life you have to tell him. Otherwise you're never goin' to get past dis. I know how hard it is for you but you have to tell him."
"I want too but I can't Skittery. I'm so mad at him right now dat I can't even stand to look at him anymore." She began to cry harder now. Skittery just pulled her close to him and rocked her back and forth.
"It's goin' to be ok Blue. I'm always here for you." Blue and Skittery stayed at Tibby's for the rest of the afternoon.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Meanwhile back in the boy's common room most of the Newsies had returned. Jack, Race, Spitball, Cheatah, Taps, Snoddy, Zippy, Soaker, Eire, and Dutchy were in the room having a conversation. Mush and Cards were outside talking about their anniversary.
"You should feel really lucky; most girls don't make it past a month wid me." Mush said wrapping his arm around her.
"I know, I'm so excited. I have so much planned for us." She said.
"Oh, just wait until you see your card, your really gonna love it!"
"Aww, Mush, you didn't have to make me a card."
"I know." He said looking off down the street. Cards just kind of looked at him strangely when he said 'I know', but she didn't care. She had Mush and that's all she cared about. Mush saw me coming down the street. He immediately got up and ran over to him.
"What did you do to her?" He began to push me.
"What are you talkin' about?" I responded.
"If you hurt her, I swear to God I will kill you!" Mush began to punch me.
"Mush! Stop it!" Cards got up and ran over to Mush. She pulled him back just as he was getting ready to hit me in the face.
"What da fuck Mush?" I backed away. "What are you talkin' about?" I headed for the door.
"I swear to you Blink, whenever I find out what you did, you better run!" Cards was still holding Mush. I walked into the lodging house.
"What da hell was dat all about Mush?" Cards asked letting him go.
"Blue came back to da lodgin' house early really upset, and we kind of assumed dat Blink did somethin' because Blue never cries." Mush headed for the door. When I got inside, the same thing happened.
"What are you doin' here?" Race asked.
"Where am I suppose to go?" I asked.
"What did you do to her bastard?" Jack said getting up.
"Why is everyone askin' me dat?"
"You better run boy because if I get me hands on you, you're dead." Jack began to run over to me.
"Jack no!" Cheatah ran in his path. He ran right by her and ran straight to me. He began to punch me over and over again. I tried to defend myself by covering up my head, but Jack was just too strong. Everyone except for Race and Mush pulled Jack off of me. Eire ran over to me to make sure I was okay.
"Blink, are you ok?" She asked.
"I'll be fine." I snapped back. I went over to a bed and sat down.
"Would someone like to please explain to me what is goin' on?" Cheatah asked. Just as she did, Blue and Skittery walked in.
"My God Blink!" She ran over to me. "What happened to you?" I just looked over at Jack who was still being held down. "You did dis Jack?"
"Yeah I did it, and you know what, he deserved it!" Jack said pointing to me.
"What are you talkin' about? What is goin' on?" Blue asked getting up.
"I was payin' you a favor! Dis boy hurt you and we were just gettin' him back." Mush jumped in.
"What? Who on earth told you dat he hurt me? He didn't hurt me in anyway. I was just a little overwhelmed wid somethin' dat I needed to talk to Skittery about, dat's all. He did by NO means hurt me. You guys had no right to hurt him widout knowin' da whole story. How could you?" She said getting really upset.
"Look Blue, we were just really worried about you and just tryin' to be your friend. We wanted to help out." Mush said coming over to Blue.
"You wanna be me friend? Then be me friend and just stay out of it." She looked over at me. "Come wid me, I'll go get you some ice to put on dat." She grabbed my hand and pulled me out of bed. I followed her into a back room. She got some ice and wrapped it in a piece of paper for me. "Here, put dis on." She handed it to me. I did as I was told.
"Hey Blue, look I'm really sorry about what I said back there. I didn't know..."
"Look Blink, I'm not in da mood right now to talk about it. Right now I'm more concerned about doctorin' you up. I just need sometime to think, and when I'm ready to talk about it, then we will, otherwise, just leave me alone for a while." She said leaning against the door.
"Okay." I said, and with that, she turned and walked out the door.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
With the sun setting, Trigger waited in the girl's common room with Tag, Zippy, and Blue. She knew Snitch was planning something for her but she had no idea, neither did any of the other girls. She talked to the girls to just pass the time. She really wanted to know what Snitch had planned for her.
"Are you really okay Blue?" Trigger asked.
"Yeah Trig, I'm alright." Blue lied.
"No your not. You can tell us, we'll all your best friends. Please?" Trigger pleaded.
"Honestly guys, I'm fine. Blink and I just had a little argument, nothin' big. Everyone has these stupid little fights in their lives, it's nothin' life threatenin', honestly."
"You would tell us if there was, wouldn't you?" Zippy asked.
"Of course you guys. Can we just not talk about it anymore, please?" Blue said turning away.
"Sure." Trigger said.
"So what does Snitch have planned for you dis evenin' Trig?" Tag asked.
"I really don't know. Whatever it is, it's suppose to be big."
"Oh, so I guess we shouldn't expect you tonight then huh?" Zippy joked.
"You guys, you know me better than dat, come on! It's Snitch we are talkin' about here."
"Did someone say me name?" The girls turned around to see Snitch.
"Well Trig, have fun. I have to get headin' back to me lodgin' house. Talk to you tomorrow." Tag went over and gave Trig a hug, then left.
"Yeah, we better get goin' too, see you later tonight." Zippy and Blue got up and left. Snitch and Trig just remained. They looked at each other and smile.
"Your carriage awaits me dear." Snitch said making a gesture towards the door.
"Yeah sure, whatever Snitch." Trigger said walking over to Snitch.
"Close your eyes." He whispered into her ear. She closed her eyes and he led her to the door. He carefully walked her outside. "Don't open them just yet, hold on. Okay, open"
"Oh my!" Trigger said. Right in front of her was carriage. She had always dreamed of riding in a carriage. "Dis is me surprise?"
"Oh your surprise has only just begun. Hop in." He said taking her hand and leading her into the carriage.
"Where on earth did you get dis?" She said sitting in the carriage. Well you see it wasn't exactly a carriage, more like a horse and buggy but still, she loved it.
"Your kind of ruinin' da moment here Trig." He hoped into the carriage as well.
"Sorry."
"Well here's what I have planned for da evenin', we ride to Central Park, we lay a blanket out and eat our dinner under da stars. Then we hop back into da carriage and just stay dat way until we decide to go back. How does dat sound?"
"Snitch I can't believe you did dis. Dis is SO sweet of you." Trigger said kissing Snitch's cheek.
"I wanted a romantic night to ourselves for once, you know what I mean?" He said driving the carriage. Trigger laid her head on Snitch's shoulder as they rode to Central Park. It was so beautiful. The sun was completely set now and the stars were beginning to shine. They finally reached Central Park and they were the only ones around, which surprised her. Snitch got out of the carriage and then helped Trigger out. They laid the blanket down and sat on it. Snitch pulled out a hotdog for each of them and a drink.
"How predicable? A hotdog." Trigger joked.
"Hey, I'm tryin' here." Snitch said.
"I know, I'm just kiddin'. So really Snitch, how did you get dis?" She asked taking a bite of the hotdog.
"Well I kind of borrowed it, but don't worry, I'll return it."
"Who do you know dat owns a carriage?" She asked again eating her hotdog.
"Well dat's da funny part, I don't know of anyone. But I'm goin' to return, nice and new."
"You stole it?"
"It's not stealin' if you return it."
"Snitch! You can't do dat."
"I just did, now stop askin' questions and just enjoy da night!" They ate their hotdogs in silence and watched the stars together. "You're such an amazin' girl Trigger, you know dat?"
"Yeah I know. But then again you're quite amazin' yourself. I still can't get over how great dis is."
"Trigger, you're so great. Ever since I met you, you were just so beautiful, and every single day you get more and more beautiful. You have gorgeous brown eyes, snow white teeth, da voice of an angel, and da beauty of somethin' out of dis world. Trigger I love spendin' each and every day wid you. When I see you, da world stops as if da only purpose in life was for me to be wid you. I can't wait to see what da future holds for us, because I know dat we'se goin' to be together forever. I found a poem for you. I know I didn't write it but it speaks close to me heart so I would like to read it to you, so here goes: If there was ever a dream dat ever came true, da love you gave to me wid no unselfish restraint, your love has always remained. In your dark brown eyes I saw somethin' pretty cool, you were one of me dreams dat came true and nothin' but love still stays, and dat surely will never change. Anyone would be lucky to be loved by you, and I could claim dat to be true, and if there was ever a dream dat came true, I would say one of them was you." Snitch just looked at Trigger. She had the biggest smile on her face and he knew that she loved every word of it.
"I love you Snitch!" Trigger said pulling Snitch towards her. She began to kiss him ever so softly. They kissed for a few minutes but were broken up due to the horse. The horse began to make lots of noise and Snitch had no idea what he was going to do.
"Shh! Be quiet horse!"
"Oh yeah Snitch, I'm sure da horse is goin' to obey." Suddenly the horse jumped up and down. Snitch knew that if he didn't do anything, the horse was going to get loose. So he stood beside it and yelled.
"Quiet you dumb horse!" The horse continued. All of a sudden the rope that held the horse snapped and the horse began to run away. "Hey! Get back here! I need tah return you!" Snitch started to run after the horse, but was stopped by Trigger.
"Snitch, stop. Da horse is gone." She pulled him back. "Don't worry about da horse. Just worry 'bout here and now." She pulled Snitch into the carriage.
"But I have tah return dat horse." Snitch said still looking around for the horse.
"Snitch, shut up! It's a stupid horse. Do you care more about findin' dat horse, or kissin' me?"
"Argh! But da horse..."
"Fine, I'll walk back."
"No, no, no!" Snitch grabbed her dress. When he did they both heard a rip. "Oops. Sorry."
"Ah, no!" She looked at her ripped dress. "Look what you did! Dis was my favorite dress!"
"I'm so sorry, Trig. I didn't mean tah.." He sighed and looked at the ground. "I'm sorry."
"Snitch, it's okay." She felt bad for her reaction.
Snitch had put his head in his hands, acting like he was crying. Trigger hugged him and ran her hands through his dark brown hair.
"Snitch, I'm sorry. I didn't mean tah get mad at you, I know you didn't mean it." She kissed his head. "What's wrong?"
"It's just nothin's goin' right! I've tried so hard tah make dis woik out an' it ain't! Everythin' is so shitty! I mean da fuckin' horse is gone, I ruined your dress, you're mad at me, an' everythin' ain't woikin' out like I wanted it tah! Dis is a disaster!"
"Snitch, dis night is poifect! I wouldn't change anythin' for da woild. I'm here in Central Park, it's a beautiful night, da sky is clear, da stars are shinin' and I'm here wid da only guy I've ever loved and da one dat I love more than anythin'. Snitch, as long as you're here wid me, nothin' can go wrong. A crater could fall down right beside me an' kill da rest of da woild and everythin' would be fine because I'm wid you."
"Dat's a little harsh ain't it?" He joked.
"Yeah, I guess it is, isn't it? But, Snitch, I love you no matter what happens, what you do, or what you say or whatever. You're still you and you're everythin' to me, whether you pay a million dollars for a carriage thing or if you steal it in order tah make me happy. I still love you no matter what you do." She said as she kissed him.
Snitch pulled Trigger over to him. They were both laying down in the seat now. "I love you too." He began to kiss her once again. This time they embraced a little more. Snitch slowly began to unzip Trigger's dress. She didn't care. They never had a moment alone like this and neither of them cared that they were in Central Park.
"Nothin' can go wrong now." He said. Suddenly they heard a loud crack. One of the wheels broke off. "Damn, I spoke too soon." They both laughed and went back to the way they were. Snitch began to take off this shirt, shoes and pants. Trigger followed with her dress. This was going to be the happiest night of their lives. This was the first time that they had ever done anything like this. Nothing was going to mess up this night.
(A/N: I hope you guys understand what's happening here. I don't think I need to write anymore, you get the idea.)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Trigger woke up the next morning to find the sun shining bright in her face.
"Mornin', Snitch wake up its mornin'." She said hitting him.
"I don't wanna." Snitch closed his eyes.
"Shit! Snitch get up! They are comin'." Trigger whispered to Snitch, still realizing that they were completely naked underneath the blanket. In the distance they could see Cards, Mush, Race, Spitball, Eire, and Jake.
"Hey, look at dat broken carriage!" Mush yelled pointing at the carriage that Snitch and Trigger were in. "Lets take it." Mush ran over to it and got more than he bargained for. "Ahh!" Mush ran back to the others. Sticking their heads out from the carriage was Snitch and Trigger.
"Ah, hey guys. Um, would you mind handing me my underwear please?" Snitch asked pointing to the pair of boxers on the ground. Eire went over and picked them up.
"Why don't you come get them, Snitch?" Eire said waving them in the air. "Your not naked I hope." She joked with them.
"Please Eire, I really need my underwear. See, Trigger and I were just playing a game called, um, Slingshot boxers, yeah, and we had to see who could shoot my boxers da farthest."
"Nice try guys. Goils don't wear boxers, Snitch. Geez oh man! I'm gonna to tell da rest of da lodging house dat you guys did it!" Jake said running off. The rest followed.
"You don't care dat they know do you?" Snitch asked looking at Trigger.
"Snitch if I cared, I wouldn't have done it wid you." She said getting out of the carriage. "Now let's go back tah da lodgin' house."
"Wait! Eire still has my underwear!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The day had finally come, Mush and Cards anniversary. Cards and Mush were sitting outside like they always did.
"Happy anniversary." Mush said kissing Cards.
"Happy anniversary tah you too. Here's your card. I hope you like it." Card's handed Mush the anniversary card. He opened it up and read it out aloud.
"Much has changed in these two months for both you and I; I am growing because of the love you give. I am no longer as meek, trembling, and shy; without you I don't want to think how I'd live. During this time I've had many treasured firsts, and there are countless more to look forward to. Experiencing this, my heart nearly bursts; I must say this among other things: thank you. Thank you for always being there, thank you for winning my esteem, thank you for taking time to care, thank you for being like a dream. Thank you for giving protection, thank you for always being true, thank you for showing affection, thank you for simply being you. Love Cards."
"Thanks Cards. I loved it!" He kissed her forehead. "Here is yours." He handed her his card. She opened the card and read it out loud.
"Dear Cards, Hi. It's Mush. I'm writing you a card. Get it? Card, for Cards! Haha. Here's a poem just for you: Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, if you were a booger, than I'd pick you. Love, Mush." She looked at him pretty disappointed. She threw it back at him.
"Mush, what is dis? I woiked really hard on your card and I expected you tah do da same. I thought dat you would have a least gotten help from one of da guys or somethin'." She stood up.
"What's wrong wid it? I woiked really hard."
"Mush you just don't get it, do you? Dis is our two month anniversary. I know dat it might not mean a lot tah you, but it does tah me. How many girls can actually say dat dey were wid you for two months? Not many Mush. Dis was a very important time for me and you had tah go and screw it up!"
"I'm sorry Cards, but what do you want? Do you want me to give you some? Do you want me to go to Tibby's and buy you a hotdog? What do you want from me?"
"I want some time tah think, Mush. I just need time tah think things over okay?" She turned and walked into the lodging house; like always the boys were at the table playing cards. The girls were chatting it up and some of the couples were once again together. Blue was sitting in Skittery's bed reading a book. I walked over to talk to her because she hasn't spoken to me in 3 or 4 days.
"Heya Blue. May I sit down?" I asked. She didn't respond. "I miss talkin' tah you. So, did you hear about Snitch and Trigger?" Nothing. That's it, I had it. I sat down right beside her and tried to get things straight. "Blue, why are you mad at me? Will you please tell me what's wrong? I'm very sorry for what I did. Do you want me to leave, because I will if dat's what you want."
"Blink what I want is some alone time away from you." She went back to reading her book.
"Blue don't you think you had enough time away from me. Please talk to me." I continued to argue with her. I could tell that Skittery was getting upset because he was walking over to me. By this point we were both yelling.
"Blink just leave me alone!"
"No Blue because it's not fair to me!"
"Alright you two, you're coming wid me." Skittery grabbed both of us by the hands. Blue threw her book down on the bed and was literally dragged out by Skittery. Once outside, Blue gave Skittery a piece of her mind.
"Skittery, just forget it. I don't want to talk about it."
"No Blue, you have too. Both of you GROW UP! For God sakes, don't you see it? You guys need to woik dis out. You're perfect for each other and you both are afraid to admit it. Blink you were wrong for not going home. You have a family dat I'm sure loves you very much, but I can't blame you for not wanting to leave Blue. Blue you were wrong for snapping off to Blink about something he doesn't even know about! Give da poor guy a chance Blue. You have a heart in there and I know you do. You have to tell him. It's not fair to him dat you keep ignoring him. Blue I know it's hard, but I can see it in your eyes. You love him and it would break your heart to see him go." Skittery took both our hands and put them together. "You guys are meant to be together and if you can't get over something as small and stupid as dis, then you're just crazy. I hate to see you guys like dis. It hurts me because I know what it feels like to want something so badly but is afraid to go for it. You guys want dis but are afraid. So I want both of you to woik dis out. Talk to each other! And Blue, tell him!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ MUSH: Why doesn't anyone like my card?
BLUE: Because Mush, you don't give a card like that to a girl on your anniversary. Anyone with a brain will tell you that.
MUSH: Sorry.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Please tell me you're just kiddin' Blink." Blue said in major shock.
"No Blue, I'm not kiddin'." I said looking at her.
"What da hell are you doin' Blink? You can't stay here. You have a family back home!" Blue said moving away from me. "You have to go back! Why would you do such a thing? Why?"
"Why? You want to know why? Because of you! Blue you have completely changed me life. You're such an inspiration. You live on your own and you're doin' fine. I can't rely on me parents all me life. Comin' here was a complete culture shock. I didn't realize how much of me childhood dat I've missed. You and da other Newsies know how to really live. You guys wake up every mornin', do your job and just live life! You don't waste it away in school like I do."
"No see Blink, dat's where you're wrong! You do not waste your live away in school. Do you see da way us Newsies live? Sure it may seem like we have tons of fun, but we'se goin' to grow up to be a nobody. Unlike you Blink, you're goin' to actually grow up to become someone. You're goin' to go to school to get a good job, and to be able to provide for da family dat you're goin' to have someday. You have so much potential Blink, why are you throwin' it away!"
"Because of you! I like you Blue, you have NO idea. I've been a loner all me life, and really had no one. Dis is da first time I actually had someone, and you mean more to me then you'll ever know. You actually made me feel human for a change. Blue, I don't know how to explain it to you because I can't put words to how I feel! I just can't."
"I should go." Blue said beginning to walk away.
"Blue please understand what I'm talking about."
"Blink I can't! Dis is da lowest thing you have ever done. You have a wonderful family back home and a great chance at a wonderful future, and you're goin' to throw dat away all because of a girl. Dat makes no sense, especially me! You don't have da faintest idea of who I am! You know nothin' about me. I'm not da girl dat you think I am, and if you knew, you would have left a long time ago." She turned away.
"Don't you see Blue? Dat's da thing; I want to get to know you! I want to learn all about you, dat's what I love so much about you!" I said grabbing her hand.
"What did you just say?" Blue snapped back.
"I said dat I want to learn all about you."
"No, after dat."
"Dat dat's what I love about you."
"Don't you ever say dat you love me!" She was practically in tears now. She turned around and was heading back to the lodging house.
"Blue please come back!" I yelled but nothing was going to stop her. I guess I'll try my luck again back at the lodging house.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Back at the lodging house not many could be found. It was only Jack, Race, and Mush. Most were still out selling papers, but the rest were either at Tibby's, or just out and about. Mush was trying to work on a card for Cards because their two month anniversary was coming up in the next four days. Since he really didn't have any money to buy her anything, he was trying his luck on writing her a card.
"Finished!" Mush said slapping his hand down on the table.
"In record time too." Race said sitting on his bed with a deck of cards.
"Do you guys want to hear it?" Mush was getting all excited.
"Not really but your not goin' to listen to us anyways." Jack said reading a pamphlet.
"Your right Jack. I woiked really hard on dis card, so here it is: Dear Cards, Hi. It's Mush. I'm writing you a card. Get it, card, for Cards, haha. Here's a poem just for you: Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, if you were a booger, than I'd pick you. Love, Mush. Well guys, what did you think?" Mush said smiling.
"Are you pretendin' to be stupid or are you just like dat?" Race didn't bother looking up.
"What? What's wrong wid it?" Mush was confused.
"What's wrong wid it is dat it sucks. You can't write poems to save your life, so why don't you just lay her for your anniversary." Jack walked over to Mush.
"Too predicable." Mush said.
"Why don't you just ask one of da girls to help you? Eire is good wid dat kind of thing, or Soaker or even Spitball." Race said still playing with his cards.
"Cheatah's good too." Jack was getting defensive.
"Yeah well not as good as da other girls."
"Are you puttin' down me girl Race?" Jack was getting angry.
"Well no, but I'm just sayin'..." Race was suddenly interrupted by someone storming to the lodging house. It was Blue.
"Hey Blue, are you okay?" Jack asked.
"Have you guys seen Skittery?" She asked with tears running down her cheeks.
"Yeah, he went to Tibby's. Are you sure you're okay? We've never seen you cry. Where's Blink?" Race finally looked away from his cards.
"He's at Central Park. Please don't tell him where I went; I'll talk to him when I come back." She began to turn around but was stopped by Mush.
"Heya Blue, um, if you need a shoulder to cry on, I have a free one right here." Mush said patting his shoulder.
"Stop hittin' on her Mush!" Race and Jack both yelled.
"Sorry, oh and do you know how to write poems?"
"Mush!" They yelled louder.
"Thanks guys." Blue said as she headed for Tibby's.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Snitch and Trigger were in the girl's common room, across the hall from the boy's common room where Jack, Race and Mush were located. They were on her bed, lying in each others arms. Usually that is where they went to spend sometime alone.
"So whata wanna do today?" Snitch asked running his fingers through her hair.
"Don't care, what do you wanna do?" Trigger replied.
"Say, you aren't doin' anythin' tonight are you?"
"Well I kinda have a date wid a certain someone."
"Oh really? So whats he look like?"
"Well he's about 6 feet tall, brown hair, hazel eyes, goofy lookin' face, kind of weird personality, beaver teeth, and pretty much da all around loser."
"Hey!"
"I never said it was you."
"Oh so your cheatin' on me now."
"Oh you know it." She winked at him. "Why do you ask?"
"Oh just wonderin' what a pretty girl like you is gonna do tonight." Snitch said. He had planned a nice night on the town for Trigger. See when they first met, Trigger told Snitch that she had always dreamed of riding in a carriage, like the really important people. So Snitch had been planning this great romantic night for her in a carriage thing that took them around town.
"Well I guess I can rearrange me plans, but just dis once, cuz I have a hot date at Tibby's."
"Alright, but trust me, your not gonna wanna miss dis." He said with a wink.
"Now I really wanna know."
"Can't tell you. Just gonna have to wait and see."
"Ooh, I'm in suspense now." She said sarcastically.
"Hey, don't spoil da moment."
"You know I'm kiddin' beaver." She laid back down and they continued to spend the afternoon alone.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Blue walked in the doors at Tibby's and saw Skittery sitting at the table by the window. She rushed over to him and sat down in tears.
"My God Blue, what happened?" Skittery asked dropping the hotdog he was eating.
"Blink and I just got into a fight."
"What did he do to you? Did he hurt you?"
"No, he didn't do anythin', I'm just very upset wid him and he said somethin' dat I didn't expect and it just really hit me hard."
"Come here." Skittery said. Blue walked around the table and sat in the chair next to Skittery. He began wiping her tears.
"Tell me what happened."
"Well we were just sittin' in Central Park, and I brought up da fact dat he was leavin' soon because he said he was stayin' two weeks. Well then he got kind of uncomfortable and said dat he needed to tell me somethin'. I didn't think anythin' of it because I was tryin' to cherish da moment dat we had. He then said to me dat what he said earlier about only spendin' two weeks, was incorrect and dat he lied to me. He's not returnin' home. He's stayin' here forever."
"Are you serious?"
"Yes. Dat's what I said at first. I was very mad at him because he has a wonderful family dat loves him very much and has a great future but he is throwin' dat all away because of me. I was so pissed off because he has such potential Skittery. He's goin' to grow up to make a great fatha, husband and worker because he actually has a future and he wants to throw dat away because of me. I asked him why and he said dat he had been a loner all his life, and really had no one, and dis was da first time dat he actually had someone, and I mean more to him then he'll ever know. I told him dat he knows nothin' about me, dat I'm not da person he thinks I am. And dat's when he said it. He said dat dat's why he wanted to stay, because he wanted to know everythin' about me, and dat's what he loves about me. When he said loves, I just flipped out on him. I feel so bad now because of da way I acted but he doesn't know. He doesn't understand why I don't want him to fall in love wid me. And it hurts me so much because I want to love him so much but, I just can't Skittery." Her head began to sink.
"Hey, you did nothin' wrong! I can understand how upset you are wid him because of his decision, but I can't blame him."
"Skittery, your suppose to be on me side!"
"Blue, I am on your side, but you have to understand dat dis poor guy had no one before you. He doesn't know how to act or handle it. He always doesn't know about your past. Blue if you want him in your life you have to tell him. Otherwise you're never goin' to get past dis. I know how hard it is for you but you have to tell him."
"I want too but I can't Skittery. I'm so mad at him right now dat I can't even stand to look at him anymore." She began to cry harder now. Skittery just pulled her close to him and rocked her back and forth.
"It's goin' to be ok Blue. I'm always here for you." Blue and Skittery stayed at Tibby's for the rest of the afternoon.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Meanwhile back in the boy's common room most of the Newsies had returned. Jack, Race, Spitball, Cheatah, Taps, Snoddy, Zippy, Soaker, Eire, and Dutchy were in the room having a conversation. Mush and Cards were outside talking about their anniversary.
"You should feel really lucky; most girls don't make it past a month wid me." Mush said wrapping his arm around her.
"I know, I'm so excited. I have so much planned for us." She said.
"Oh, just wait until you see your card, your really gonna love it!"
"Aww, Mush, you didn't have to make me a card."
"I know." He said looking off down the street. Cards just kind of looked at him strangely when he said 'I know', but she didn't care. She had Mush and that's all she cared about. Mush saw me coming down the street. He immediately got up and ran over to him.
"What did you do to her?" He began to push me.
"What are you talkin' about?" I responded.
"If you hurt her, I swear to God I will kill you!" Mush began to punch me.
"Mush! Stop it!" Cards got up and ran over to Mush. She pulled him back just as he was getting ready to hit me in the face.
"What da fuck Mush?" I backed away. "What are you talkin' about?" I headed for the door.
"I swear to you Blink, whenever I find out what you did, you better run!" Cards was still holding Mush. I walked into the lodging house.
"What da hell was dat all about Mush?" Cards asked letting him go.
"Blue came back to da lodgin' house early really upset, and we kind of assumed dat Blink did somethin' because Blue never cries." Mush headed for the door. When I got inside, the same thing happened.
"What are you doin' here?" Race asked.
"Where am I suppose to go?" I asked.
"What did you do to her bastard?" Jack said getting up.
"Why is everyone askin' me dat?"
"You better run boy because if I get me hands on you, you're dead." Jack began to run over to me.
"Jack no!" Cheatah ran in his path. He ran right by her and ran straight to me. He began to punch me over and over again. I tried to defend myself by covering up my head, but Jack was just too strong. Everyone except for Race and Mush pulled Jack off of me. Eire ran over to me to make sure I was okay.
"Blink, are you ok?" She asked.
"I'll be fine." I snapped back. I went over to a bed and sat down.
"Would someone like to please explain to me what is goin' on?" Cheatah asked. Just as she did, Blue and Skittery walked in.
"My God Blink!" She ran over to me. "What happened to you?" I just looked over at Jack who was still being held down. "You did dis Jack?"
"Yeah I did it, and you know what, he deserved it!" Jack said pointing to me.
"What are you talkin' about? What is goin' on?" Blue asked getting up.
"I was payin' you a favor! Dis boy hurt you and we were just gettin' him back." Mush jumped in.
"What? Who on earth told you dat he hurt me? He didn't hurt me in anyway. I was just a little overwhelmed wid somethin' dat I needed to talk to Skittery about, dat's all. He did by NO means hurt me. You guys had no right to hurt him widout knowin' da whole story. How could you?" She said getting really upset.
"Look Blue, we were just really worried about you and just tryin' to be your friend. We wanted to help out." Mush said coming over to Blue.
"You wanna be me friend? Then be me friend and just stay out of it." She looked over at me. "Come wid me, I'll go get you some ice to put on dat." She grabbed my hand and pulled me out of bed. I followed her into a back room. She got some ice and wrapped it in a piece of paper for me. "Here, put dis on." She handed it to me. I did as I was told.
"Hey Blue, look I'm really sorry about what I said back there. I didn't know..."
"Look Blink, I'm not in da mood right now to talk about it. Right now I'm more concerned about doctorin' you up. I just need sometime to think, and when I'm ready to talk about it, then we will, otherwise, just leave me alone for a while." She said leaning against the door.
"Okay." I said, and with that, she turned and walked out the door.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
With the sun setting, Trigger waited in the girl's common room with Tag, Zippy, and Blue. She knew Snitch was planning something for her but she had no idea, neither did any of the other girls. She talked to the girls to just pass the time. She really wanted to know what Snitch had planned for her.
"Are you really okay Blue?" Trigger asked.
"Yeah Trig, I'm alright." Blue lied.
"No your not. You can tell us, we'll all your best friends. Please?" Trigger pleaded.
"Honestly guys, I'm fine. Blink and I just had a little argument, nothin' big. Everyone has these stupid little fights in their lives, it's nothin' life threatenin', honestly."
"You would tell us if there was, wouldn't you?" Zippy asked.
"Of course you guys. Can we just not talk about it anymore, please?" Blue said turning away.
"Sure." Trigger said.
"So what does Snitch have planned for you dis evenin' Trig?" Tag asked.
"I really don't know. Whatever it is, it's suppose to be big."
"Oh, so I guess we shouldn't expect you tonight then huh?" Zippy joked.
"You guys, you know me better than dat, come on! It's Snitch we are talkin' about here."
"Did someone say me name?" The girls turned around to see Snitch.
"Well Trig, have fun. I have to get headin' back to me lodgin' house. Talk to you tomorrow." Tag went over and gave Trig a hug, then left.
"Yeah, we better get goin' too, see you later tonight." Zippy and Blue got up and left. Snitch and Trig just remained. They looked at each other and smile.
"Your carriage awaits me dear." Snitch said making a gesture towards the door.
"Yeah sure, whatever Snitch." Trigger said walking over to Snitch.
"Close your eyes." He whispered into her ear. She closed her eyes and he led her to the door. He carefully walked her outside. "Don't open them just yet, hold on. Okay, open"
"Oh my!" Trigger said. Right in front of her was carriage. She had always dreamed of riding in a carriage. "Dis is me surprise?"
"Oh your surprise has only just begun. Hop in." He said taking her hand and leading her into the carriage.
"Where on earth did you get dis?" She said sitting in the carriage. Well you see it wasn't exactly a carriage, more like a horse and buggy but still, she loved it.
"Your kind of ruinin' da moment here Trig." He hoped into the carriage as well.
"Sorry."
"Well here's what I have planned for da evenin', we ride to Central Park, we lay a blanket out and eat our dinner under da stars. Then we hop back into da carriage and just stay dat way until we decide to go back. How does dat sound?"
"Snitch I can't believe you did dis. Dis is SO sweet of you." Trigger said kissing Snitch's cheek.
"I wanted a romantic night to ourselves for once, you know what I mean?" He said driving the carriage. Trigger laid her head on Snitch's shoulder as they rode to Central Park. It was so beautiful. The sun was completely set now and the stars were beginning to shine. They finally reached Central Park and they were the only ones around, which surprised her. Snitch got out of the carriage and then helped Trigger out. They laid the blanket down and sat on it. Snitch pulled out a hotdog for each of them and a drink.
"How predicable? A hotdog." Trigger joked.
"Hey, I'm tryin' here." Snitch said.
"I know, I'm just kiddin'. So really Snitch, how did you get dis?" She asked taking a bite of the hotdog.
"Well I kind of borrowed it, but don't worry, I'll return it."
"Who do you know dat owns a carriage?" She asked again eating her hotdog.
"Well dat's da funny part, I don't know of anyone. But I'm goin' to return, nice and new."
"You stole it?"
"It's not stealin' if you return it."
"Snitch! You can't do dat."
"I just did, now stop askin' questions and just enjoy da night!" They ate their hotdogs in silence and watched the stars together. "You're such an amazin' girl Trigger, you know dat?"
"Yeah I know. But then again you're quite amazin' yourself. I still can't get over how great dis is."
"Trigger, you're so great. Ever since I met you, you were just so beautiful, and every single day you get more and more beautiful. You have gorgeous brown eyes, snow white teeth, da voice of an angel, and da beauty of somethin' out of dis world. Trigger I love spendin' each and every day wid you. When I see you, da world stops as if da only purpose in life was for me to be wid you. I can't wait to see what da future holds for us, because I know dat we'se goin' to be together forever. I found a poem for you. I know I didn't write it but it speaks close to me heart so I would like to read it to you, so here goes: If there was ever a dream dat ever came true, da love you gave to me wid no unselfish restraint, your love has always remained. In your dark brown eyes I saw somethin' pretty cool, you were one of me dreams dat came true and nothin' but love still stays, and dat surely will never change. Anyone would be lucky to be loved by you, and I could claim dat to be true, and if there was ever a dream dat came true, I would say one of them was you." Snitch just looked at Trigger. She had the biggest smile on her face and he knew that she loved every word of it.
"I love you Snitch!" Trigger said pulling Snitch towards her. She began to kiss him ever so softly. They kissed for a few minutes but were broken up due to the horse. The horse began to make lots of noise and Snitch had no idea what he was going to do.
"Shh! Be quiet horse!"
"Oh yeah Snitch, I'm sure da horse is goin' to obey." Suddenly the horse jumped up and down. Snitch knew that if he didn't do anything, the horse was going to get loose. So he stood beside it and yelled.
"Quiet you dumb horse!" The horse continued. All of a sudden the rope that held the horse snapped and the horse began to run away. "Hey! Get back here! I need tah return you!" Snitch started to run after the horse, but was stopped by Trigger.
"Snitch, stop. Da horse is gone." She pulled him back. "Don't worry about da horse. Just worry 'bout here and now." She pulled Snitch into the carriage.
"But I have tah return dat horse." Snitch said still looking around for the horse.
"Snitch, shut up! It's a stupid horse. Do you care more about findin' dat horse, or kissin' me?"
"Argh! But da horse..."
"Fine, I'll walk back."
"No, no, no!" Snitch grabbed her dress. When he did they both heard a rip. "Oops. Sorry."
"Ah, no!" She looked at her ripped dress. "Look what you did! Dis was my favorite dress!"
"I'm so sorry, Trig. I didn't mean tah.." He sighed and looked at the ground. "I'm sorry."
"Snitch, it's okay." She felt bad for her reaction.
Snitch had put his head in his hands, acting like he was crying. Trigger hugged him and ran her hands through his dark brown hair.
"Snitch, I'm sorry. I didn't mean tah get mad at you, I know you didn't mean it." She kissed his head. "What's wrong?"
"It's just nothin's goin' right! I've tried so hard tah make dis woik out an' it ain't! Everythin' is so shitty! I mean da fuckin' horse is gone, I ruined your dress, you're mad at me, an' everythin' ain't woikin' out like I wanted it tah! Dis is a disaster!"
"Snitch, dis night is poifect! I wouldn't change anythin' for da woild. I'm here in Central Park, it's a beautiful night, da sky is clear, da stars are shinin' and I'm here wid da only guy I've ever loved and da one dat I love more than anythin'. Snitch, as long as you're here wid me, nothin' can go wrong. A crater could fall down right beside me an' kill da rest of da woild and everythin' would be fine because I'm wid you."
"Dat's a little harsh ain't it?" He joked.
"Yeah, I guess it is, isn't it? But, Snitch, I love you no matter what happens, what you do, or what you say or whatever. You're still you and you're everythin' to me, whether you pay a million dollars for a carriage thing or if you steal it in order tah make me happy. I still love you no matter what you do." She said as she kissed him.
Snitch pulled Trigger over to him. They were both laying down in the seat now. "I love you too." He began to kiss her once again. This time they embraced a little more. Snitch slowly began to unzip Trigger's dress. She didn't care. They never had a moment alone like this and neither of them cared that they were in Central Park.
"Nothin' can go wrong now." He said. Suddenly they heard a loud crack. One of the wheels broke off. "Damn, I spoke too soon." They both laughed and went back to the way they were. Snitch began to take off this shirt, shoes and pants. Trigger followed with her dress. This was going to be the happiest night of their lives. This was the first time that they had ever done anything like this. Nothing was going to mess up this night.
(A/N: I hope you guys understand what's happening here. I don't think I need to write anymore, you get the idea.)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Trigger woke up the next morning to find the sun shining bright in her face.
"Mornin', Snitch wake up its mornin'." She said hitting him.
"I don't wanna." Snitch closed his eyes.
"Shit! Snitch get up! They are comin'." Trigger whispered to Snitch, still realizing that they were completely naked underneath the blanket. In the distance they could see Cards, Mush, Race, Spitball, Eire, and Jake.
"Hey, look at dat broken carriage!" Mush yelled pointing at the carriage that Snitch and Trigger were in. "Lets take it." Mush ran over to it and got more than he bargained for. "Ahh!" Mush ran back to the others. Sticking their heads out from the carriage was Snitch and Trigger.
"Ah, hey guys. Um, would you mind handing me my underwear please?" Snitch asked pointing to the pair of boxers on the ground. Eire went over and picked them up.
"Why don't you come get them, Snitch?" Eire said waving them in the air. "Your not naked I hope." She joked with them.
"Please Eire, I really need my underwear. See, Trigger and I were just playing a game called, um, Slingshot boxers, yeah, and we had to see who could shoot my boxers da farthest."
"Nice try guys. Goils don't wear boxers, Snitch. Geez oh man! I'm gonna to tell da rest of da lodging house dat you guys did it!" Jake said running off. The rest followed.
"You don't care dat they know do you?" Snitch asked looking at Trigger.
"Snitch if I cared, I wouldn't have done it wid you." She said getting out of the carriage. "Now let's go back tah da lodgin' house."
"Wait! Eire still has my underwear!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The day had finally come, Mush and Cards anniversary. Cards and Mush were sitting outside like they always did.
"Happy anniversary." Mush said kissing Cards.
"Happy anniversary tah you too. Here's your card. I hope you like it." Card's handed Mush the anniversary card. He opened it up and read it out aloud.
"Much has changed in these two months for both you and I; I am growing because of the love you give. I am no longer as meek, trembling, and shy; without you I don't want to think how I'd live. During this time I've had many treasured firsts, and there are countless more to look forward to. Experiencing this, my heart nearly bursts; I must say this among other things: thank you. Thank you for always being there, thank you for winning my esteem, thank you for taking time to care, thank you for being like a dream. Thank you for giving protection, thank you for always being true, thank you for showing affection, thank you for simply being you. Love Cards."
"Thanks Cards. I loved it!" He kissed her forehead. "Here is yours." He handed her his card. She opened the card and read it out loud.
"Dear Cards, Hi. It's Mush. I'm writing you a card. Get it? Card, for Cards! Haha. Here's a poem just for you: Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, if you were a booger, than I'd pick you. Love, Mush." She looked at him pretty disappointed. She threw it back at him.
"Mush, what is dis? I woiked really hard on your card and I expected you tah do da same. I thought dat you would have a least gotten help from one of da guys or somethin'." She stood up.
"What's wrong wid it? I woiked really hard."
"Mush you just don't get it, do you? Dis is our two month anniversary. I know dat it might not mean a lot tah you, but it does tah me. How many girls can actually say dat dey were wid you for two months? Not many Mush. Dis was a very important time for me and you had tah go and screw it up!"
"I'm sorry Cards, but what do you want? Do you want me to give you some? Do you want me to go to Tibby's and buy you a hotdog? What do you want from me?"
"I want some time tah think, Mush. I just need time tah think things over okay?" She turned and walked into the lodging house; like always the boys were at the table playing cards. The girls were chatting it up and some of the couples were once again together. Blue was sitting in Skittery's bed reading a book. I walked over to talk to her because she hasn't spoken to me in 3 or 4 days.
"Heya Blue. May I sit down?" I asked. She didn't respond. "I miss talkin' tah you. So, did you hear about Snitch and Trigger?" Nothing. That's it, I had it. I sat down right beside her and tried to get things straight. "Blue, why are you mad at me? Will you please tell me what's wrong? I'm very sorry for what I did. Do you want me to leave, because I will if dat's what you want."
"Blink what I want is some alone time away from you." She went back to reading her book.
"Blue don't you think you had enough time away from me. Please talk to me." I continued to argue with her. I could tell that Skittery was getting upset because he was walking over to me. By this point we were both yelling.
"Blink just leave me alone!"
"No Blue because it's not fair to me!"
"Alright you two, you're coming wid me." Skittery grabbed both of us by the hands. Blue threw her book down on the bed and was literally dragged out by Skittery. Once outside, Blue gave Skittery a piece of her mind.
"Skittery, just forget it. I don't want to talk about it."
"No Blue, you have too. Both of you GROW UP! For God sakes, don't you see it? You guys need to woik dis out. You're perfect for each other and you both are afraid to admit it. Blink you were wrong for not going home. You have a family dat I'm sure loves you very much, but I can't blame you for not wanting to leave Blue. Blue you were wrong for snapping off to Blink about something he doesn't even know about! Give da poor guy a chance Blue. You have a heart in there and I know you do. You have to tell him. It's not fair to him dat you keep ignoring him. Blue I know it's hard, but I can see it in your eyes. You love him and it would break your heart to see him go." Skittery took both our hands and put them together. "You guys are meant to be together and if you can't get over something as small and stupid as dis, then you're just crazy. I hate to see you guys like dis. It hurts me because I know what it feels like to want something so badly but is afraid to go for it. You guys want dis but are afraid. So I want both of you to woik dis out. Talk to each other! And Blue, tell him!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ MUSH: Why doesn't anyone like my card?
BLUE: Because Mush, you don't give a card like that to a girl on your anniversary. Anyone with a brain will tell you that.
MUSH: Sorry.
