A/N: Okay, I swear that this chapter is longer than the other two (since
it's already longer than it and I haven't gotten to the point yet). So,
I'm gonna start off with Shout Outs.
Shout Outs for Chapter 1
SpecsGlasses- I'm so (o x 9.99 x 10^9999) sorry about it being Davey...but that's what my muses want. I started to cry when I wrote it, but ya know I just couldn't make it someone like Crutchy, because dude, it wouldn't be the sama ya know? Oooo...is 8 Simple Rules good? I'm gonna buy Sgt. Bilko tonight...because it has Max in it...So do you want to hear my funny AP American story??? Well, I was in class and we were taking a test right? So anyway the answer to the question was Specie Circular, and all I could think about is "Wow, I want to write a story about Specs." And my teacher asked us what was the first thing that came to mind was when we thought of Specie Circular...and I was so tempted to say Slash...but I didn't...well, anyway, the moral of this story is that I still don't know what the Specie Circular is...so I guess that Newsies isn't always a good thing. LoL What am I talking about? It's a great thing! Always! Thanks for the review.
Obsessed wit' Aaron Lohr- THE BEST SHOUT OUT EVER!
Dakota-Jones- hehe, I hope you like this chapter, because like the first half of it or so is like fluff...because I found it cute. Well, thank you so much for the review. You're the greatest!
A/N: Okay, and now for the next chapter... and it changes P.O.V. for a little while, but don't worry I'll give you a warning.
Chapter 2
"The truth is not always popular."
--Unknown
*Blink's P.O.V.*
I stayed up all night watching Mush as he slept; somehow I kept hearing his voice over and over again pleading with me saying, "Trust me please Kid. Please believe me." I wanted to not believe him, I wanted to be able to tell him that it was just a bad dream and believe what I was saying, but I couldn't. He was just so damn serious about it.
It was about six 'til three and I was still awake when Mush began to stir again. However, this time it was different, almost as if he was enjoying it. 'Maybe he's seeing Oscar die,' I thought, I know that it was a mean thought, but I mean, Oscar is an idiot, and I'd be happy if he were going to die. I guess I was just so sure that he was dreaming about one of our enemies that he was dreaming about that I was completely blown away when he started moaning my name in his sleep.
I quickly ran over to him, if he was dreaming about my death, I wasn't going to let him finish.
"Mush?" I pushed him a little.
"Kid," he moaned still asleep.
I shook him again, "Mush Wake up!"
Mush's eyes snapped open, "Kid! Why's ya wake me up? I was having a great dream."
I felt so unloved and my heart felt like it was broken into like a zillion pieces, "How am I going to die, Mush?" I asked, I swear I am old enough to know how it's going to happen.
Mush giggled, "What are you talking about, silly?"
I could feel my eyes water, well eye and the empty socket where one used to be that was under my eye patch. "Mush, you told me that you dream about people dying...and you were just smiling. So, I thought you were dreaming of someone you hated dying...and then you started moaning my name..." Mush had started to blush uncontrollably. "So, I figured you were happy to see me die."
Mush began to blush even more as he looked at me, "It wasn't about you dying Kid...I was just dreaming about you."
I could feel my mouth drop, "Why were you dreaming about me, Mush?" He began to blush even more. Hell, I knew he wouldn't answer, but he is just so damn cute when he blushes like that...
"Kid, I was dreaming about you...and me...and...err...it was a very good dream." Mush stared at me, his face was now redder than Spot's suspenders...which I guess would mean that they were just red...because Spot's suspenders are pink...but anyway, Mush is talking again... "I can only wish that this dream will come true."
I could sense what he meant because you know I ain't as naïve as he is, or as naïve as I thought he was, but now I can't really tell anymore...but anyway, I came up with my plan to play dumb until he confesses his undying love for me. I mean hell, I know it will probably never happen, but what if it does? Work that is.
"What do you mean Mush? What were we doing in your dream?" I asked, trying to sound innocent. Mush's face reddened. I guess I would be too, but you see I'm like Spot, and Me and Spot, we don't blush, the light just, ya know, changes.
"Well...um..." His face got redder by the second.
"Will you answer me yes or no if I was to guess?" This was going to be fun. Mush nodded. I could be so mean right now... "Where we selling papes?" Mush shook his head. "Were we eating? Playing cards?" He kept shaking his head.
"Were we..." I leaned forward and kissed him quickly on the lips.
Mush went even redder as he smiled at me, "I don't know will you show me again?"
I was more than happy to comply, so I nodded as I leaned forward to kiss him again. Only this time was for longer. We were still kissing when Mush froze.
I quickly pulled away, "Mush? Mush? Are you okay?" I waved my hands in front of his face, but it was no use. It was as if Mush was in a...um...what are they called...err...oh yeah, trance or somethin'.
*Mush's P.O.V*
One minute I was kissing Blink, and happy again...and the next everything was black, besides a white figure that came walking towards me. It was female.
"Mark Meyers?" She asked as she approached me.
"Yeah, what do you want?" I snapped, I wanted to be back with Blink, not with her.
"That is no way to talk to your master, Mark. After all you are my apprentice." She said with every step she took she changed her form.
"What do you mean? I'm a Newsies, ma'am. I ain't nobody's apprentice." I said as I tried to turn around and walk away, but a hand on my shoulder stopped me.
"Don't you remember me?" She asked, although now she was more of a he.
I shook my head. "Am I supposed to?"
It laughed, "I suppose you wouldn't. I am Death."
"What? Death isn't a person...death is a thing." I said, although I hardly believed it now.
"Mark, you are my apprentice. Everything has a time clock, even me. Although I may live for eons, I still have to die, and it is almost my time..." It said as it looked into my eyes.
"So, what does that have to do with me? Why am I you apprentice?"
"You are just supposed to be, it's you destiny. You will be the next Death."
I stopped dead in my tracks. "But what about Kid?"
"Oh, your friend Luis Ballet, he will die, and you will have to escort him to Hell or Heaven depending on which you deem him worthy."
"But...but...I love him." I said, before I realized it.
"No you don't. Death cannot feel love, nor hate...Death is Death. But if it was possible and what you are saying is true, then you must leave him."
"But, why?" I didn't want to leave Kid; I mean I just got him, right.
"Mark, you will have to leave him sometime."
"STOP CALLING ME THAT!"
"Calling you what it?" it asked now appearing as the Grim Reaper.
"Mark. My name is Mush...not Mark."
"Oh. But why have you changed your name, Child, it will not change your future."
I stared at her, "Are you sure that I can't have my destiny and Kid?"
It nodded, now back in it's original form. "Although I cannot promise you anything, you may try...but fate will not allow it. I wish you luck."
I stared at it. "If I had luck I wouldn't be your apprentice would I?"
*Blink's P.O.V.*
Mush came out of his trance at the same time as Kloppman walked into the room to wake up all of the Newsies.
"Mush, are you okay?" I asked as I kissed his forehead.
He nodded, "Yeah...hey Kid, do you feel like tempting fate?"
I smiled at him, "Yeah, I mean if we can save Davey...then your dreams maybe wrong right?"
"I hope so." Mush mumbled.
"Mush, I love you." I whispered as I turned around to walk into the washroom.
"I love you too Kid." I heard Mush say as I entered the room.
A/N: See, I told you it was going to be longer. Well, I hope you like it as much as I do. Well, I love you all. So please review.
Mush!Muse: Come on people, she's begging.
Blink!Muse: ::traumatized:: Mush can't love me???
Mush!Muse: I love you Kid.
Aww...now please review.
