Two hours in a Denver Airport, yes I have reached a point where I am so bored I will actually update QONY, crazy I know. I would also like to wish QONY a happy one year anniversary, it was about a year ago when I began writing it as a Christmas present to Missy, maybe by next Christmas it will finally be done!

Ok, I don't own the newsies and everyone but Amy is owned by Disney or themselves and Red belongs to Boxer.

"Open your doors, I'll be your shelter

Just pay me back with one thousand kisses

Be my lover and I'll cover you,

Open your doors I'll be your tenant,

Don't got much baggage to lay at your feet

But sweet kisses I've got to spare

I'll be there and I'll cover you." RENT!

For the next day Skittery looked everywhere for Blue Boxer but could not find her anywhere, until about eleven o'clock the next night. He found her alone in Central Park.

Boxer looked up as she heard footsteps approaching her where she sat depressed on the grass. "Go away Skittery!" she said detesting him.

He ignored it and sat down next to her, "Hey Blue, look I'm really sorry, and I had no idea! Skater told me everything." He said looking about as bad as he felt.

"So what was that whole thing with Missy then?" she asked, she never could stay mad at him for too long and he just looked so depressed about it all.

"I know this is gonna sound awful, I mean she was real sweet and pretty and everything, but really I think the only reason I was with her was because I was trying to pay you back or something." He mumbled off at the end.

She looked at him in shock, "Skitts, that's not like you at all!"

He sighed running his hands through his hair then looked her straight in the eyes. "I was so mad and depressed about the thought of you with anyone but me. I mean you've always been my best friend, but now I dunno," he laughed, "God, I've fallen in love with you Christina!" he exclaimed, calling her by her first name for the first time since they were kids.

She looked at him and slowly smiled, "I guess I fell for you too Skitts, so what now?"

He looked at her for a moment confused, he had just declared that he loved her and now she was asking 'what next'? "What do you mean?"

She sighed with a bit of a laugh, "Well now that you know you like me and I like you, what are you going to do about it?"

"Oh, well I was thinking something like this," he said pulling her to him and kissing her sweetly.

When they finally pulled apart a minute later for air (LE!) she laughed, "I like that response."

He took her hand, "Well how about this one: will you be my girl?"

She jumped up hugging him "Hell yes!"

He laughed, "Ok then Baby, lets get you back to the Lodging House because I know I haven't slept in over a day." He yawned for effect.

"I will definitely have to agree with that one."

He took her hand and stood up. They walked in silence for a moment before she realized something,

"You called me 'Baby'."

"Yeah, I kinda like it what do you say?" Skitts asked pulling her close and putting an arm around her as she leaned on his shoulder.

"I think I like it too Skittles."

"No Skittles." The recently dubbed 'Skittles' pouted.

"Why not?" she asked kissing him on the cheek.

"I don't know, it just sounds like some weird kind of candy or something." He said shrugging. (yes Skittery invented Skittles!)

"Well then Skitts you stay, for now."

"Alright, Skitts I stay"

They walked into the Lodging house smiling and Skittery kissed her goodnight as she climbed into her bunk next to his in front of the sleeping lodging house, or so they thought. Skater watched the new couple and smiled,

"At least things were going well for those two finally!" she thought to herself, "Now we just have to work on Spot and Missy."

Apparently skater was not the only one thinking of the Brooklyn leader and his new found news girl. Boxer woke up around two in the morning and sat down on Skittery's bed, waking him up.

"What's going on Babe?" he asked sitting up and hugging her.

"What are you going to do about Missy? You need to talk to her."

"You sure have the timing don't you?" he asked slightly annoyed, of course he completely regretted what he had done, but he would really just like to enjoy time with Boxer and leave that whole thing for now.

"I'm sorry, but I really would appreciate it if you would."

He could hear the disappointment in her voice and it hurt, "I will, promise. Just not yet, I'll give her a few days to calm down before I apologize."

"Works for me." She said winking and starting to get up.

He grabbed her arm, "Stay Baby, please?"

She laughed and did as he asked, "Fine, but you gotta scoot over!" he obliged and she moved into his arms.

Skittery: Awe you make me all mean, how sad!

Fait: Come on, I had to! It wouldn't have worked any other way!

Skittery: Humph

Fait: Hey, you invented Skittles; this is "Taste the Rainbow" we are talking about!

Skittery: Oh alright, plus I did get the girl. Where did Boxer go anyways?

Fait: She's in college you dork smacks Skitts now leave me alone so I can finish my chapter.

All newsies: in time to Faity's directing" Please please please review! get looks of disgust at being forced to beg

Les: not getting that he is being hopelessly used and you will get free skittles in honor of their creator Skittery!

Fait: pats his head Good boy!

Much love to the Froggster, Missy and Blue Boxer for all their support with my story, also to my NML homies who actually read my story and answered my casting call!

Probably another five chapters, who knows when I'll update again, be a while before I am in Denver again.
