Disclaimer: I do not own Newsies. I own Knots. Milkshake owns Milkshake and Sparks owns Sparks. ( Yep...we own ourselves!)
Milkshake smiled to herself as she walked to the other end of the dock. She was so glad to be back in New York, and she couldn't wait to see Racetrack.
She spied a big group of Newsies all sitting in a circle playing cards. She came closer to them, but she couldn't see Race. Finally she saw him, his back was to her, and she saw this as the perfect time to sneak up on him.
She came closer to the group of boys, most of them seeing her. They all knew about Milkshakes' and Racetracks' relationship.
"Uh...fellas, it's time to uh...go do that thing....fer uh...Spot" One of the boys said standing up. He was trying to get the rest of them to leave, so that Racetrack and Milkshake could be alone. At first they protested, but then seeing Milkshake, they all caught on.
" awh c'mon! You just wanna leave because I'm winning!" Racetrack said.
The boys all left, and Racetrack stayed sitting, collecting his earnings and stuffing them into his pockets.
Milkshake knelt down behind him, and put her hands over his eyes.
"Guess who." She said in a seductive voice.
"uhh....excuse me?" Racetrack said utterly confused.
He stood up, with her hands still over his eyes, and then grabbed them, pulling them off.
He spun around, and was face to face with Milkshake.
Racetrack's face lit up like fireworks on the fourth of July.
"Milkshake! What are you doing here?" he said beaming.
Milkshake started to laugh. "I came back. I couldn't stand being away from you."
Racetrack put his arms around her waist, lifted her up, and spun around.
Milkshake squealed.
Racetrack put her down and kissed her deeply and passionately.
" Glad I'm back?" she asked smirking.
"More than you know doll, more than you know." He said kissing her again.
Sparks left the docks and started towards the Brooklyn Lodging house. For some reason she felt nervous. She didn't know how Spot would act, you could never tell with him.
She reached the Lodging house and went in. She didn't see Spot anywhere, so she figured he would be up in his room. Yes...he got his own room.
She walked up the steps and came to the door that she knew was his. She pressed her ear up against it so she could hear if anyone was in there.
She heard footsteps walking back n' forth, and the rustling of clothes. Then, she heard a loud boom.
"Damn it!" she heard a boy yelling through gritted teeth.
Sparks smiled to herself. "Spots in there." She thought.
She knocked lightly on the door.
"Whaddya want?" Spot said.
Sparks just opened the door slowly.
Spot was sitting on the bed holding his toe with his mouth hanging open.
"Surprise." Sparks said quietly.
"Sparks?" Spot said quietly confused.
Sparks smiled. "I'm back!"
Spot stood up. "Why are you back so soon?"
" We missed everyone. Geeze Spot, aren't you glad to see me?"
Spot stood there in silence, thinking hard.
Then, a smile crept on his face. "Of course I am. C'mere." He said holding open his arms.
Sparks ran towards him and knocked him over the bed hugging him tight.
Spot started to laugh when she kissed him all over his face.
"Guess ya missed me eh?" he smirked.
Sparks laughed, and then Spot sat up and kissed her tenderly.
Sparks was relieved that Spot wasn't mad, for some reason, she really thought that he might be.
Spot stood up. "C'mon lets go find the others." He held out his hand.
Sparks took his hand and smiled.
"So tell us all about your trip." Knots said.
Jack, Knots, Sparks, Spot, Milkshake, and Racetrack were all sitting in the bunkroom of the Manhattan Lodging house.
Sparks shrugged. "Well, there wasn't too much. It was just a trip ya know. Nothing big happened."
"Yea. Although, ya should've seen the look on my moms face when she saw me. She couldn't figure out which one of us I was." Milkshake laughed remembering her mothers' confusion.
"So...what's going on with Curly and Splash?" Jack said asking the question on every ones minds.
" They'll be fine. They're going to live with my aunt for a while." Sparks laid her head on Spots' shoulder.
"She's already enrolled them in a really good school. And she said we could all come visit them whenever we want." Milkshake smiled, although a little sadly.
"We'll do that. We'll go visit them." Racetrack said kissing her on the cheek.
"So. Both of you...where are the clothes you promised me?" Knots said smirking.
The boys all groaned. "What's with goils and clothes?" Spot asked.
" Aww c'mon boys let us have some fun." Sparks said.
"Ok how about this, Knots you come into our bunkroom so we can show you what we brought you back. It won't take long fellas, we'll be right back. There's a special thing in there for Jack too." Milkshake said laughing and winking at Jack.
"You guys are so bad!!" Knots said holding up a lacy nightie and laughing hysterically. "I can't believe you got this!" She was completely red.
"Well, we figured Jack would like it." Sparks was beaming. "But, that's not all."
"While we were there, my mom took us to some lovely shops, and we saw this and thought it was made just for you." Milkshake went over to a brown box that was next to her suitcases.
She put it on Knots's lap.
Knots opened the box to reveal a white wedding dress.
Tears sprung to Knots's eyes as she pulled it out of the box.
" You guys, how....but...." She was speechless.
" It was obvious you two were getting married one day." Sparks said grinning.
"Try it on!" Milkshake moved the box to the side.
Knots put the dress on, and all of the girls were ecstatic.
It fit perfectly. It had a high neckline, and silk buttons all down the back. There were beaded designs all over the hem that flowed freely and elegantly. It was gorgeous.
" Thank you. Thank you so much." A tear fell down Knots's face as she hugged her friends. "How am I going to find bridesmaids dresses that will be just as good as this?" she said joking a little.
Milkshake and Sparks looked at each other and laughed. "Its all taken care of." They smiled.
"Knots...c'mon Knots." Jack said shaking her lightly. "We gotta go sell, every ones waiting downstairs."
Knots opened her eyes groggily.
"C'mon doll. Get dressed. I'll be downstairs with the others."
He kissed her lightly and then left the bunkroom.
Knots suddenly came to her senses and jumped out of bed. She got ready in a hurry and ran downstairs.
"Sorry all. Don't know what came over me." Knots tied her bandanna around her neck, and then threw on her cap.
"We thought you had died." Racetrack laughed.
"Girl, you really are a heavy sleeper." Sparks said taking Spots' hand.
"Yea, but we know Jack can always wake you up." Milkshake smiled.
Knots walked over to Jack and kissed him tenderly. She then put her arms around his waist and buried her head in his chest.
"Are we gonna sit around here being lovey-dovey or are we gonna go sell?" Spot piped up.
Jack laughed. "Ah, he's right."
Everyone else agreed.
The three couples walked out of the Lodging house hand-in-hand with their special someone.
The air was chilly as the sun was still rising, but that didn't keep people indoors.
" Are you ok Knots?" Jack asked her as he heard her sigh.
Knots looked up at Jack and smiled lovingly. "Everything's perfect."
For now....
