Sadly I do not own Newsies, Disney does. Neither do I own San Francisco, MGM does. But I do own Jessica (Dreamer), Samii, Comet, Drummer, Lizard, Wrapper, Echo, and Woody.
I dedicate this story to my sister Melissa. 1980-1998.

Chapter 13Now You Know
Jesse was once again a hit. Everyone was sad to see her go. Samii was the last to say goodbye to her before they went to the talent show.
"So you're going to the show then you're leaving us?"
"Yeah."
"Well if you're hoping to see Cub's performers there I wouldn't hold your breath."
"Why not."
"Let's just say that the man you're about to marry threw them into jail, all except Cub."
"Why would he do such a thing?"
"God only knows. But hey you better get going; I've got to get Jack's dinner ready for him any ways. But Jesse be careful, and choose what your heart is trying to tell ya."
"I will, goodbye Samii."
"Goodbye."
"Come on Jesse we better got going before we're late."
"Yes dear." Jesse kept think about what Samii told her, about listening to her heart.
The room was packed people colored the room. Every performance was good, and no one could have ever guessed what would happen next.
"Cub what are you doing here?" Asked Julie, a good friend of his, and a former performer.
"I came to give you back your jewelry. I can't stay long, I've got a train leaving for New York in 15 minutes."
"Well I'm sure gonna miss you buddy."
Cub left and the announcer came on.
"As you know every year the Holiday Saloon performs here, but this year there's been some kind of difficulty so now they won't be able to perform."
"I'll do it for him." Jesse called.
"Alright come up young lady." " What will you be playing for us?"
"Well it's a song I wrote when I was younger, for my best friend in the whole world. So I dedicate this song to Cub Conlon."
People were shocked throughout the room, but no one was as shocked and stunned as Ryan. He raged with jealousy but let her go on.
'In these eyes,
More than words, more than,
Anything that I've spoken,
When the skies,
Turn to Grey, my heart's,
Just about to crack open,
So the story goes,
There's somethin you should
know,
Before I walk away and I blow
the ending,
I never wanna be
without you,
Oh no, here I go; now you
know,
What I feel about you,
There's no endin,
Must've been wrong to doubt
you,
Oh no, there I go, no control,
But I'm fallin so, now you
know,'
"Bill do you know where Cub went?" Julie asked.
"Yes ma'am."
"Well go and bring him back here as quick as possible."
"Yes ma'am."
'Feel so light,
Cravin oxygen,
All this truce leaves me
empty,
Will you run?
Can you handle it?
Cuz I need you to tell me,
Maybe this seems bold,
But I'm hopin you'll stay for
the happy ending,
I never wanna be
without you,
Oh no, here I go; now you
know,
What I feel about you,
There's no endin,
Must've been wrong to doubt
you,
Oh no, there I go, no control,
But I'm fallin so, now you
know,
No I won't look back when
I tell ya what I think about you,
No I won't look back when I
tell ya what I think about you,
So the story goes, yeah,
You already know,
So don't be a fool and go
spoil the ending,
I never wanna be without
you,
Oh no, here I go; now you
know,
What I feel about you,
There's no endin,
Must've been wrong to doubt
you,
Oh no, there I go, no control,
But I'm fallin so, now you
know,
I never wanna be without
you,
Oh no, here I go; now you
know,
What I feel about you,
There's no endin,
Must've been wrong to doubt
you,
Oh no, there I go, no control,
But I'm fallin so, now you
know,'
She had the crowd out of their seats in applause. She stole the show; it seemed, yet again.
"Ladies and gentlemen you are the jury who shall judge these fine performers and by your applause shall we find who our winner is, beginning at this end." The announcer went to the beginning of the line and everyone got applause, but when he got down to Jesse the crowd went wild in applause.
"Ladies and gentlemen the appearance of Ms. Winegardner for the Holiday was as much as a surprise to me as it is to you, but however I congratulate you for your chose and present the award to Ms. Winegardner for Mr. Conlon with my Congrads."
At that moment Cub ran up on stage like all hell broke loose."
"Wait a minute there's been a mistake here Mr. Bell. I never told this woman she could appear for me. I don't need this kind of dough." He stormed off as mad as a dog with millions of fleas.
Jesse walked off stage with more hurt in her heart than she thought imaginable.
"Can I take you home dear." Ryan asked politely.
"Thank you."
They started to walk out when they felt a huge shudder.
"What was that?" Jesse asked with fear and hurt in her voice.
All of a sudden the chandeliers started crashing down. A ceiling started to break apart and the only thing Jesse could think about was Cub.
"Jesse!" Cub called, when a wall came crashing down.
"Cub!" Jesse screamed as Ryan started pushing her out the door. Then a brick wall came right down on Cub.
"Cub! No let me go. Let me go please, Cub!" Jesse screamed but it was no use. Ryan finally picked her up and took her out of the building.
