"A pair of new shoes with matchin' laces!"
"A permanent box at Sheepshead Races!"
"A porcelein tub with boilin' water!"
"A hitman to kill Caroline!"
Everybody stopped singing and looked at Mary.
"That don't rhyme." Racetrack reminded her.
Mary shrugged, "Rhyme-schmyme. She put me in this hell. When I become King of New York, she becomes dead." Mary pulled her newsie cap down on her head and sat back in her chair boredly. "Go on, Blink. Sing your solo. It's inevitable."
"A saturday night with the mayor's daughter!"
Mary closed her eyes. This. song. AGAIN. The movie kept playing. It had ended once and now this was the second time through. That is to say--the whole strike had ended and the credits rolled. Then they did the whole thing backwards really fast (Caroline must have been rewinding) Then they started the movie all over again. The newsies remembered Mary, but could not remember having gone on strike and having sung the same songs just last week.
"Stupid-ass newsies." She whispered to herself, as she surveyed them dancing on tables.
"All right THAT'S IT!! STOP THE MOVIE!" Mary kicked Denton.
"What movie? DAVID! WHAT MOVIE!?!?!" Sarah shrieked in a panic.
"Oh pipe down, drama queen!" Mary jumped on top of the table and did a double take. "You're not even IN this scene, Sarah. Go do some laundry!"
Sarah grinned. "Okay!" She flounced out of Tibby's.
"What's up, Mare?" Itey asked.
Mary contemplated. "Nothing really. I just wanted to shake things up a bit.....anyone know the Macarena?"
"PLEASE TEACH ME!" David kicked Denton out of the way, and kneeled at Mary's feet in sheer awe.
5 Minutes Later
"I'm the king of New Heyyy Macarena!" CLAP
Mary snorted and walked out of Tibby's, her hand clasped tightly in Skittery's.
"Take that Caroline."
what didja think?! =D
