Chapter 2
Daybreak came early for the newsies and before they knew it they were working on the upstairs of the building. Tomorrow had a plan and as always her plan had to be just right or she would not be happy. Don't get her wrong though she isn't a control freak she just knows how she likes it.
Jack looked around unlike the lobby part of the building the upstairs was completely bare except for a few scattered pieces of chairs and cobwebs that hung high above their heads. Upstairs had a musty smell and it was damp and dark but they did their best to uncover the boarded windows and let in the crisp autumn air.
"Tomorrow, maybe you were right this place could be something." Fantasy said looking around the room with her hands on her hips.
"Except that it does need a lot of work to actually be something." Trinket corrected her with a small smile.
"You guys are right but in no time this place will be up and running." Tomorrow said positively as she got back to work.
So far only the chandelier, door and the building had been swept and the broken pieces of chairs and tables had been fixed. Thanks to the help of the Manhattan boys the girls would have never gotten this far.
They all worked throughout the day and finally all that was left was painting and furnishing the building but the newsies didn't have much money. Hell, they hardly had any money at all. Tomorrow was smart and resourceful, though. She'd find a way to make it happen.
"Well, well, well. Ain't this a regular jamboree!" Spot said in the door way.
"Spot!" Trinket exclaimed as she ran towards him to embrace him in a passionate kiss.
"I'se didn't know you'se missed me dat much." Spot said when they broke the lip lock.
It was easy to see that Trinket was in love but all the newsies had their suspicions about Spot's feelings for her. As everyone knew Spot was quite a ladies man and he never really had a relationship that grounded him to just one woman.
"'Ey Jacky boy, how's it rollin'?" Spot asked spitting in his hand for a shake.
"Not to fast. I'se hoid you'se been thionkin' on a final agreement wit Queens all dese years." Jack said returning the gesture.
"Yea, so gotta problem wit dat?" Spot asked getting defensive.
"Oh come on Spot he didn't mean anything by that." Said Trinket.
"No, I'se don't." Jack answered before getting back to work.
"Tomorrow, what's all dis about?" Spot asked looking around the lobby.
"I invested into a building. A new lodging house." Tomorrow answered as she swept the floor with a faster pace.
"Really?" Spot answered as he walked deeper inside.
"Yea, soon this place will be up and runnin'." Tomorrow said as she moved to the fire place to sweep the ashes into a bucket.
Tomorrow had a dream and being very determined she was going to have that lodging house no matter what anybody said. Thankfully she had people that actually believed in her and helped but Spot loved mocking her. They both fought like brother and sister and even though they got on each other's nerves, it didn't matter. That was their relationship and she needed the Brooklyn newsies to help her with her dreams. Some how she'd get Spot to help.
