The girls awoke to the sound of Kloppmen. Their wonderful evenings with their lovers now turned into the dread for morning, as they all knew what would happen. The girls would be traveling back the future – or could they stay a bit longer?
All of the newsies quickly and quietly headed for Tibby's. Denton was meeting them there with the paper. Nobody said anything until they entered the restaurant.
"Hey fellas! Big time."
"Hey, hey." Some of the newsies greeted Denton. They were the ones excited about the picture but not Jack and the select few, until Denton placed the picture in front of him.
"Hey you can't see me!" exclaimed Taps trying to make the moment more amusing. Everyone looked at her. "What? I was right behind Bumletts."
"Well you can't see me either. Cause after I pushed Dutchy in the picture I went to stand by Specs but I guess I was too late." Fantasy stated then frowned.
"Aww man if only the picture went down a tad further you could've seen my lifeless body." Marsh pointed out. The girls laughed. Then the other newsies started to crowd around them.
"Whatcha got dere Jack?"
"Them woids day all about us?" Boots asked.
"Hey look at ya Jack, you look like a general." Mush commented as he rubbed his fingers on Jack's face on the pape.
"Would you get your finger off my face." Meanwhile Spot, in the background was chirping, "Where's me picture? Where's me picture?" Then it changed to.
"Well where does it say my name? Where's my name?" Jack turned to him and said.
"Would you quit thinking about yourself." Knots shook her head and rolled her eyes at the comment.
"You got us on the front page." David stated, in awe, to Denton.
"You got yourselves on the front page, I just gotta make sure you stay there."
"So what you get your picture so what does that get you?" Skittery asked, not amused.
"What are you talking about huh?"
"Shut up you've been in a bad mood all day." Gee we wonder why he's been in a bad mood all day. His girl is leaving the second they touch the pape. But yet he denies it. Jittery just shook her head behind him.
"I ain't been in a bad mood."
"Hey glum and dumb. What's the matter with you?" Race pushed him in the face making him fall back and tag Mush. "You're in the papes you're famous. Your famous you git anything you want." He slaps the table. "Dat's what so great about New York." Yea the other Newsies agreed. Just then Race grabbed the pape and stood on the nearest table, which was Marsh and Dutchy's. "Look at me I'm the King of New York!" he screamed then did a little tap number. Tease giggled and jumped off the table to give her a kiss.
"Let's have some ideas." Jack stated.
"We got to show people where we stand." Suggested Dave. They were all crowded around one table.
"Yea we got to stay in the papes."
"My paper is the only one printing any strike news so far." Denton informed the boys.
"So we should do something so big that the other paper will feel stupid if they try to ignore us." Jack told the group and most agreed. "Like a rally, a newsie rally from all the kids over New York. We'll make it the biggest, loudest, nosiest blowout this towns ever seen." Just then the waiter came set about 20 or so glasses of pop for the boys. Each one grabbed one or passed it to the people behind them.
"We'll send a message to the big boys." Said Dave
"I'll send them a message. Yeah!" Race passed two back, one for Tease and the other for Mush, he forgot about Blink.
"There's a lot of who ain't going away. We'll fight until doomsday if it means we get a fair shake."
"I'll fight to that!" screamed a boy.
"Hey, you guys, to our man Denton." Looks like Race forgot to give Blink a glass so he shares with Mush.
"To our man Denton!" Everyone chimed in.
"Won't you please stay and help with the rally?" Mush asked Taps after the newsies started to break away from the restaurant.
"Well…"
"Youse found the pape, just hold off on reading it to go back." She looked to the other girls who were near. They didn't know what to say.
"I don't know what to say."
"Say yes."
"I'd say yes but it's not my call. Girls?"
"NO!" this came from Tease. "As much as I would love to stay help, we can't."
"And why not?" Race asked.
"The project-"
"FORGET about da project for a minute to have fun with the rally, please. I really like you and want to share this moment with you." He confessed.
"Aww." The girls cooed.
"Hmm…"
