Disclaimer: I do not own Newsies! I own Knots. Milkshake is owned by C.M Higgins and Sparks owns Sparks.
The Newsies stood with their mouth's hanging open.
" Dead?" Race said a little shakily.
Specs nodded.
" All aboard!" the train conductor hollered towards the group of teenagers.
" Milkshake, Sparks. There is another train to Connecticut later tomorrow, exchange your tickets for that train. We gotta go back to the Lodging House and figure this out." Jack said keeping his cool.
"Alright Jack." Milkshake said. " I've got the kids tickets with me, c'mon Sparks." She said heading over to exchange them.
" Ah shut up!" Spot bellowed.
Everyone in the bunkhouse was silent.
" Where's the body now Specs?" Jack asked
"They left him in the alleyway, they didn't want anyone thinking they had anything to do with it, but I saw some bulls taking a look at him, and I think they've got him now."
" Do they know anything about who did it?"
" They think it was some gambling fellas. A couple of other Newsies spied him in alleyway talking to a few men dressed in all black last week."
" Alright well, now that the dad is taken care of the four of you don't have to go to Connecticut." Knots said happily.
" Not so fast Knots." Sparks said. "If we really love these kids, don't ya think we should give them the best life we can? I mean what's better for em? Them here in New York, begging for food on the streets, or growing up with my aunt and being educated and such?"
"She's right." Jack said. "And I guess that will mean that Milkshake and Sparks will still go."
" Unless they don't want to." Knots said hopefully.
" Well do you both want to still go?" Spot demanded to know.
Sparks looked at Milkshake and then at Spot.
" I...I don't know." She said
"Me either." Milkshake added.
" Maybe you two should sleep on it?" Racetrack suggested.
The both nodded.
" Alright. Well that's all. Everyone can get back to what they were doing." Jack said.
The Newsies went back to their games, discussions and such.
Milkshake and Sparks stayed in the boys bunkroom, but Knots quietly slipped out, and went into the girls room.
She walked over to the window, and looked out at the sleeping city.
Just then, the door opened, and Jack walked in.
" Hey Doll." He said with a small smile on his face.
Knots turned around.
" Hi Jack." She said half-heartedly.
Jack walked towards Knots as she turned back to the window. He came up behind her and put his arms around her waist resting his chin on her shoulder.
" I over hoid Milkshake and Sparks saying they're still going to Connecticut." Knots said sadly.
" I know. I hoid too. But don't worry, that leaves some time for you and I." He said trying to be sensitive.
" Are you saying we're not together enough Jack?" Knots asked spinning around so she was facing him.
" Yea, at least alone time. I mean, it will be nice just the two of us wont it? Just for a little while anyway." He said kissing her forehead.
" You're right." She sighed. She kissed him on the lips.
" C'mon lets dance." Jack said pulling her back from the window.
" Dance? But Jack there isn't any music." She said confused.
"I'll take care of that." He said starting to hum.
Jack twirled Knots and then brought her close to him.
" Honestly Jack, how did you get to be such a romantic guy?" she smiled.
Jack smiled lovingly, and looked into her eyes.
They stood there dancing in the bunkroom with the only music being Jack's humming.
He then dipped her, and they shared a movie star kiss.
Just then the door opened once again. Not noticing Jack and Knots kept their kiss going.
"Ahem." A girls voice said.
" Are we disturbing anything?" A giddy Sparks said.
There in the doorway were Milkshake in Sparks.
Jack and Knots stood up.
" Well if ya must know yea!" Knots said jokingly even if it were true.
"I'll go, but as soon as they leave your all mine." Jack said letting go of her, kissing her on the cheek and leaving the bunkroom.
" So I hoid you two are leaving." Knots said folding her arms.
" Yea we decided that we're gonna go." Milkshake said.
" Are you mad?" Sparks asked.
Knots thought about it for a minute.
"Nah. I'm not mad. I mean you guys will be gone, and I'll miss you a lot, but we're going to write, and we're going to be apart sometimes, that's just the way things work."
" That's good." Milkshake smiled.
" Plus...Jack and I could use the alone time." She smirked.
Milkshake turned to Sparks.
" See what did I tell ya?" Milkshake said laughing.
The girls joined in a group hug.
