Disclaimer: I don't own Newsies. I own Knots. Milkshake is owned by C.M Higgins.
Milkshake and Racetrack were sitting on one of the couches in the boarding house lounge together. There was an awkward silence between the two.
" So tonight all the Newsies are getting together here to play pokah and such." Race said.
" I love poker! Mind if I join."
Racetrack was astounded. He never met a girl that loved poker before.
" Sure but I must warn ya, no one has ever beaten me before." He said with a smirk on his face.
" That may be so, but you've never played against me now have you Race?"
The two laughed and then there was an awkward silence again.
" So uh. About when you kissed me out dere." Racetrack said stuttering a little.
" Yea?" Milkshake said blushing.
" Um...well.. er..." Race said trying to figure out how to put it.
" What Race?"
" Can..we...uh.. Ah wut the heck."
Racetrack put his hand behind Milkshake's neck and then leaned in and started kissing her.
Just then the very giddy pair of Jack and Knots walked in.
They were both surprised and then burst out into laughter.
" Geeze getta room!" Jack taunted.
" Milkshake! I've never seen this side of you before!" Knots giggled.
Milkshake and Race both turned bright red.
Then to change the subject, Milkshake said, "So are the two of youse a couple now? I mean have ya made up and all?"
Knots looked lovingly at Jack before smiling and saying, "Yes."
Then Jack leaned in and kissed her lightly.
Their special moment was broken apart when Spot Conlon walked into the room. He had seen Jack kiss Knots.
" Well, well, well, what have we here. Seems the two of youse are an item again."
Knots giggled
" That's right Spot." Jack said proudly.
Spot clapped Jack on the back and shook his hand.
" See Knotsy, wut did I tell ya?"
" Hey are we gonna sit down here and mess around or are we gonna go upstairs and play some pokah?" Jack broke in.
Everyone started heading upstairs. Milkshake started to get up from the couch when Racetrack held her back.
" What Race?" she asked.
" I needa ask you something." He said
"Alright." She said smiling.
" Will ya be my goil?" He asked blushing.
Milkshake kissed Race lightly.
" Of coise." She said. "We betta get up there though if we want some good cards."
Racetrack stood up from the couch and then helped Milkshake up. The two headed up to the bunkroom to begin the game.
The bunkroom was filled with tons of Newsies. There were all of the Manhattan Newsies, plus Spot Conlon and some Newsies from queens.
In a circle, sat Blink, Mush, Itey, Spot, David, Skittery, Jack, Knots, Racetrack and Milkshake. Other Newsies were hanging out on the bunks, or just there to watch the game.
Racetrack showed off his shuffling skills and dealt out all the cards.
Time went by and it just came down to two players. Racetrack and Milkshake.
Every boy in the bunkhouse was staring intently at the two. Never before had Racetrack been beaten at poker, let alone beaten by a girl.
Racetrack laid down his cards.
" Ha beat that!" He yelled.
Milkshake smirked.
" Sorry Race, looks like you have just been beaten." She said laying down her cards.
Every ones mouths hung open. Then they erupted with laughter when they saw how red Racetrack's face was.
" Well Race, looks like youse found youse match." Jack said laughing.
" Alright, Alright." Race said. "Enough of poker, lets play something else."
" Ok." Spot said.
" What should we play?" Snitch asked.
" How about spin the bottle." Mush said.
" There are only two girls here." David said.
" I don't mind. They're pretty."
" Well, really only one. Because the only boy kissin Knots is me." Jack said kissing her forehead.
" Yea and no one is gonna kiss my Milkshake." Racetrack said.
" Hey I didn't know you two were a couple!" Spot bellowed.
" Yea. Well, we are." Milkshake said smiling.
" Alright already lets decide on a game to play." Blink said
" How about Truth or dare? Itey said
Everyone agreed.
" Alright, because I'm the leader of Brooklyn I'll go first." Spot said.
Everyone looked around the room for protests, there wasn't any.
" ok. Knotsy. Truth or Dare?"
" mmm Truth." She said smiling.
" Alright. Now isn't it true that you're secretly in love with me?"
Knots laughed.
" Oh yes Spot its true." Knots looked over at Jack who had a worried expression on his face.
" Jack I'm just kidding. Sorry Spot my heart belongs to Jack." She leaned over and kissed Jack.
Spot sat down looking as though Knots had hurt him a little bit.
" Ok my turn!" Knots said. "David. Truth or Dare."
David looked green. He hated this game.
" Uhhh ummm Truth, no Dare, Truth."
" Alright." Knots said rubbing her hands together.
Suddenly Jack whispered something into her ear. She giggled.
" Why does Jack call you Davey the Bunny?"
David shot Jack a killer stare.
Jack just smiled back at him.
" Do I really have to answer this?" David said turning red.
" Yep. And we'll know if you're lying too, because Jack'll tell us." Knots said.
" Alright the reason Jack calls me Davey the Bunny is because..." David mumbled something.
"What was that? I couldn't hear ya." Racetrack said.
David shut his eyes. And yelled his answer.
" The reason why Jack calls me Davey the Bunny is because I have pajamas with bunny feet on them!" He buried his head in his hands.
The room EXPLODED with laughter. Several of the boys were crying because they were laughing so hard.
Knots looked over at Jack.
" So Jack is that true?"
" Yea. I saw him in them one morning I went over for breakfast." He said between laughs.
" That's classic. Alright Davey the bunny your turn." Knots said.
" Hey ya can't call me that! Only Jack can!" David said turning red.
" Hey my goily here has the same rights as me. And don't talk to her like that or else I'll soak ya bunny man." Jack said playfully.
David was fuming.
" Fine. It's my turn to ask now. Race. Truth or Dare?"
" Dare." Race said without hesitating.
David's face fell a little bit. He was the worst at coming up with dares, and everyone knew it.
" I dare you to uh.... to kiss Milkshake."
Everyone let out a groan when David said this.
"She's his goil. He isn't gonna mind kissing her." Snitch said.
" Hey a dare is a dare." Racetrack said.
He loved this dare.
He put his hand behind Milkshake's neck and pulled her in for a kiss.
Catcalls and whistles could be heard through the room.
The game went on for a few more hours before they stopped. Some Newsies went to bed while others stayed up and played more games.
Jack and Knots went up to the roof to look at the stars and enjoy the night.
" Ya know Jack. Every night I was gone, I used to sit in my window seat, and talk to you through the moon."
Jack and Knots were sitting together, Jack with his arm around Knots.
" We really do have a lot in common Knots."
" What do you mean Jack?"
" Well I used to do the same."
The two of them started to kiss under the starry night.
They're magical moment was broke when David poked his head out of the window.
" Hey Knots there's someone here to see ya." He said.
" Hey bunny man can't ya see we're having a moment heah? Jack said.
Knots giggled and stood up.
" Let's just see who it is then we can come back out."
Jack stood up and gave Knots another kiss.
The two walked to the window. Jack went back into the bunkroom first and then helped Knots in.
" Alright who is here to see me?" Knots said.
" I am." A woman's voice answered.
Knots looked across the bunkroom. There standing in a fancy dress was her mother.
