Disclaimer: I don't own Newsies. I do, however, own all of the Chicago
newsies, and Fantasy. The rest of the girl newsies belong to their rightful
owners.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next morning, both sets of newsies got up at 7, getting dressed and ready for the day.
"Hurry up, Fantasy!! We're gonna be late!" Sneaks shouted into the room
"I'm comin', Sneaks. It ain't my fault I can't find me shoe." Fantasy called out.
"Look in da closet!" Rain called in, trying to hurry both of the girls along.
Fantasy got up and ran for the closet door and opened it. "Here it is!!"
"I told you! Now hurry up! We have ta go!" Rain called again.
"I'm comin'!" Fantasy called while she hopped on one foot and put on her shoe. She ran out the door and caught up with everyone by the doors. "Sorry."
"Is everyone here now?!" Jack called out.
"Yeah, now let's just get dis over with." Racetrack said.
"Oh, come on, Race. It can't be dat bad." Jack said.
"You didn't meet 'em yesterday." Specs pointed out.
"Well, ya told me about it. But they can't be as bad as you say dey are." Jack said, all optimistic. "Let's get goin'."
"I can't believe we have to SELL with them!" Song cried.
"Get over it, Song. There's nothing we can do about it." Claddagh said, getting annoyed at Song. "Ye've been complainin' all night. And what good has it done?"
"Nothing. So shut up already, Song." Cow complained.
"Don't tell me what to do, Cow." Song said.
"Will you PLEASE be quiet already?" Hope asked.
"We need to go." Cricket said.
Hope nodded and walked down the stairs. "Bye, Snoot."
"Have a good day, kids." Snoot said.
"Oh, yeah, we'll have a good day." Cow grumbled.
"Which way do we go?" Mush asked.
"I say we go da wrong way and pretend we got lost." Racetrack grumbled.
"No, dey're expectin' us."
"Don't worry, dey won't mind." Skittery said.
"We're goin', and dat's it." Jack said.
"It's dis way." Spot led the way down one street, then another, and another, heading in the direction of the Distribution Office.
"Maybe they'll get lost!" Prayer exclaimed, always the optimistic.
"And maybe we'll move into a mansion." Cow said sarcastically.
"Like THAT would happen!" Tops, one of the male newsies, shouted out.
"It might." Hope said.
"Shut up, Hope!" Tops shouted again.
"Leave her alone, Tops! She's not the one we should be mad at!" Brogue said.
"Then tell her to shut up!" Tops cried.
Cricket shook his head. "Don't fight each other. It won't help."
"Is dat it?" Boots asked, pointing at the building.
"Dat's what it says on the sign." Snoddy said.
"Well, it doesn't look like dey're here yet." Jack said.
"Maybe dey got lost!" Itey said hopefully. From what he heard, he wasn't looking forward to meeting the Chicago newsies.
"Yeah, Itey, and maybe we'll be rich." Racetrack said.
"It could happen." Jake said.
Racetrack laughed. "How could dat happen?"
Jake shrugged. "I don't know, I just said it could happen."
"I hope dey get here soon." Jack said to Spot.
"They'll be here soon, boys."
Spot groaned and turned around, and there, in front of him, was Mr. Brooks. "Whatta you doin' heah?" Spot said, in a voice that said that he didn't want him there at all.
"I was sent here. The mayor thought that you could use a little help. If you ask me, you could use more then a little help."
"Well, we don't need help, so just go." Racetrack shouted.
"As much as I would like to do that, I can not." Mr. Brooks said.
Racetrack rolled his eyes.
"You think they're there?" Sky asked Brogue.
"I hope not." He answered.
"We'll find out in a minute." Hope said.
While they rounded the last corner, Hope held her breath, hoping they wouldn't be there. No such luck. The people at the front of the group groaned, and she sighed. It would be a long day.
