"Race! Quit pacin'! Dey'll be heah any minute!" Mush laughed as his pal Racetrack Higgins slowed to a stop and smiled a small sheepish grin. "I guess I am jus' a little excited, dat's all, ya know, waitin' for Petals and all," he explained. Mush recognized a familiar face in the distance and smiled big as he listenened to Race continue. "I don't know how ya coulda done dis wit Lindi. Me an Petals, just gots together. You 'an Lindi 'ave been an item for MONTHS!" Racetrack was flabbergasted as lindi came up beside him and slipped her arm around his shoulder. "Yeah, race, we have, but it gets more excitin' every day," Lindi said with a smile.Race breathed out a huge sigh of relief as Mush beamed with happiness coming to claim his girlfriend with a kiss on the cheek. "Sorry we'se late," Lindi explained to Mush, as they walked off arm in arm. "Petals takes forevah to get ready. I mean, I knows I gets up oily, but still--"she let the sentence drop. After a moment's thought she continued, "It's okay, I guess, though. Since she takes forevah, I guess I gotta live with it." Lindi smiled as she said this.
"I do NOT!" the two heard Petals's mock-furious voice behind them. "I just don't wake up as oily as you do, Lindi!" Lindi and mush spun around to face petals who was glowing with mirth and happiness-she had found Race. He was equally as happy. A bit of silent communication went between Mush and Race. Their elbows were linked together as they closed the small distance between themselves and the other two.
"Hey, Petals, how ya doin'?" Mush asked her.
"Oh, I'm fine. Jus' fine! How bout yourself?" Petals asked sweetly. She laughed as Lindi rolled her eyes at the sugary tone of Petals' voice. "Just fine. So where are you two gonna sell today?" Mush continued the conversation. The four of them stood together talking for a little while longer when Petals saw Manders being approached by Spot. "Look," she whispered to Lindi.The boys were talking about the next poker night in Brooklyn, so the girls were safe for a little bit of quiet communications. They both knew that Manders and Spot had, in a manner of speaking, "enjoyed each other's company" for a long while now. Petals looked at Lindi.they were both thinking the same thing. It was one of those moments in which you could communicate through the eyes, but there was something that needed to be vocalized. "They need to get together, Lind," Petals said quietly. Almost immediately, she regretted saying it though. At those words, Petals saw Lindi's attention turn off the conversation the wheels in Lindi's head turn on. "Lindi, Lindi..LIN-di? What's goin' on, Lind? Lindi, talk to us," Petals attempted to stop Lindi's thinking process but to no avail. The two boys by now were utterly confused. Petals tried to explain the situation to the befuddled newsies. She finally turned to Mush. "Mush, Lindi's is YOUR girlfriend. Maybe you should ask her what's going on!" All three of them laughed. "Well, Mush," Race said with a smile. "Ask her." "Lindi, what's goin on?" mush asked with a quizzical look on his face. There was silence for the space of about 1 minute. It was the loudest silence that had ever taken place in the streets of New York. Then as fast as it happened, Lindi came out of her pensive state and just smiled. She laughed as she saw the looks of relief on her friends' faces. "So what's goin' on Lindi?" Racetrack asked. "Okay, okay. I'll tell ya." She paused for dramatic affect. As the other three gave her killer stares to go on, she laughed and said, "Ya see Manders and Spot ovah der?" she continued as she saw their nods, leaning forward to hear her whisper, "Let's just say.Guys, I gots a plan."
