Chapter 2- I got the whole earth quaking......off the richter

After the curtain closed the lights were turned on making it very painfully to see. I blinked a couple times before looking around. Touchdown had taken off the glasses and was rubbing her eyes. Marbles was picking her hat from underneath her seat and brushing imaginary dust off her shorts. Seer was fingering her necklace and looking at the stage thoughtfully. Sunrise was staring at the floor and she bent over and picked something up sticking it in her pocket.
"773-202 bop beep bop LUNA!" Marbles sung
"What the hell was that?" Touchdown asked
"From the Luna commercial," Seer said
"Oh"
"Let's go congratulate Myya," Marbles said walking sideways down the asile
"A boy in my class says that the Luna women used to be his music teacher[1]," I said
"Seriously?" Sunrise said
"Uh-huh"
"Lucky kid," said Marbles "I wish I knew someone famous"
"You know me!"
"Sorry, didn't know you were famous"
"I'm not," I grinned "But I'm going to be"
"For what?"
"Ummm.....haven't decided yet" We made our way backstage, but before we could enter Myya came out.
"Hey guys! How'd you like it?" her question was answered as we all started gushing on how wonderful everything was.
"The acting ws great!" Seer exclaimed
"I give it an A plus plus plus" said Sunrise, giving a thumbs up
"You can't grade," said Touchdown
"Why?"
"You're not a certified teacher"
"Loved the ship," I said admiring the front half of the ship
"Who did the floor?" Marbles tapped the floor with her heel
"Techies"
"They did a fantastic background"
"I'm hungry," I said suddenly. My stomach was starting to grumble. There, there we'll soon feed you dearie
"So longs we're on a totally different subject," said Sunrise "Where's the lost and found?"
"Front desk, you found something?" By now the theatre was completly empty except for us. I grabbed Seer and Marbles pulling them onstage. Marbles began to sing King of New York and Seer and I began to sing and dance. Then we switched to Chicago.
"I found this," said Sunrise pulling the object from her pocket. Myya took it
"Cool!" At this we all walked over to check it out. It was a flat smooth rock of a deep blue color.
"Oooo pretty," Marbles cooed
"And shiny," I reached out to touch it
"Do you have to give it back?" Touchdown asked. Disappointment evident in her voice.
"Whoever lost it, lost something special"
"That's odd," Seer said frowning "It's turning gold" Everyone leaned in to get a closer look. sure enough the pretty shiny stone was turning a horizon gold. Everyone was silent as it changed again, more clear and transparent. Until you could see Myya's hand underneath. A piercing wail cut through the silence making us all jump.
"Damn!" Myya scowled "Someone leaned on the fire-alarm door again[2]" she sighed and started walking toward the sound when the ground beneath us started to shake
"I thought Chicago didn't have earthquakes!" I wailed as the familiar noise surrounded us. It was as if tools were falling out of the sky and hitting the concrete before they shattered. Some of us dove underneath the table still on stage, while the others and I pressed ourselves against the wall. The lights went out and there was total darkness. The kind where you can't see your hand in front of you face even if it's less than an inch away. The hand not the face. The noise stopped and the earth stopped shaking.
"Everyone okay?" Marbles asked nervously
"Alphebetical roll call!" I shrieked "Chaos is," I checked myself "alive and fully functional" there was a pause then
"Marbles"
"Myya"
"Seer"
"Sunrise"
"Touchdown"
"Okay, no one is hurt then, good" I said
"Myya you kow this place better than any of us. Do you know where the flashlights are?" Marbles asked
"Yeah, hold on" everyone was quiet as Myya made her way...somewhere. How am I supposed to know, I'm as blind as a bat! Silence really gets to me, it makes me nervous so I reached my hand out.
"Oww!" Aha! Touchdown I found youuuuuuuuuu!
"Sorry," I took her hand "Just needed to kow someone's with me-"
"Shit!" Myya cried
"What happened?" asked Sunrise
"Tripped over something. What is this?..... Oh a box" I leaned against the wall...and fell right through
"What the fuck?!" I landed on my butt.... hard. Touchdown poked her head out shading her eyes from the sun that had that was now coming in.
"Where did that door come from?"
"Don't ask me, I'm in pain right now," I closed my eyes for a moment before rising painfully. Whoever had said it hurt less to land on your butt than anywhere else had something coming. Soon as I got home I was going to look him/her up and stalk them. Then I would push them over and over and over on a hard suface and laaaaaaaugh in their face! Sweet revenge.
"It's freezing!" said Marbles shivering
"Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore," Myya said coming out
"We weren't in Kansas to begin with," I moaned still in pain
"Where are we?" Sunrise shivered. Damn this place was cold! To think I was grateful for air conditioning just an hour ago!
"Dude, we're in New York 1899!" Seer said. She pointed at a sign off to the side. Good God! Medda blew up!

Heavenly choir sing! la la laaaaa

Soon as we recovered from our shock. Our huge marvalous wonderful heavenly shock. We cowered together trying out best to shelter ourselves from the freezing cold. Poor Marbles was wearing shorts and a tank-top so she was in the middle.
"Now what?" I asked
"We find the newsies and take over!" I think the cold was getting to Marbles
"We'll say we're from California"
"Why?"
"F-farther away" Seer tried to open the door we had come through
"Locked" We made our way to the entrance of Ivring Hall. Who was going to deny a poor group of girls some warmth?
"Hey! You! If you're not paying get out!" a man yelled. How dare he?! I gave him the finger. The man turned red and glared. We went back to deciding what to do next.
"What if this is a dream?" Touchdown asked
"Somebody pinch me," I whispered as Medda herself came out and started talking to the mean man. Seer made a move towards me "Wait! No don't pinch me, I might wake up"
"Well someone's gotta do it," Seer said. We all watched holding our breath as she put her fingers over her arm. She hesitated "I don't want to wake up either," she confessed. Exasperated I reached out and pinched the person nearest me. Which turned out to be Sunrise.
"OUCH!" she cried rubbing her arm. She froze realizing just what she had said "That hurt!" she cried happily. We cheered.
"Now what?"
"How much money do we have? We need winter clothes". Once again we made a tight circle and took out the money that had been intended for pizza and some ballons as an after celebration. We glared at the people who came near our little group, just in case they had any ideas.
"80 bucks," I said "not bad"
"Are you prostitutes? 'Cause it's bad fer Medda's business if youse standin' heah" said a voice behind us. We stared, it was Jack Kelly AKA Francis Sullivan AKA Cowboy!

[1] This is true! Unless he was lying. But I think it's true [2] Also true. I was a 'teacher' and one of my kids leaned on the door. The door had a sign taped that said 'Do not lean, alarm will sound' I was so embarrased. Alrighty. I really did have the whole second chapter written up. But it was way too long so I cut it in half ::karate chop:: I should have it up tomorrow, if nothing interferes. So Dottie, Half Pint, Sox and Viper are going to be in the 3rd chapter garanteed!
