Chap. 15

The next day, I went over to the distribution office to get my papes.

"This may be da last time I ever have ta do dis." I thought to myself, out loud.

"Oh, really?" said Mush, who was used to me talking out loud by this time.

"Yea, really." I said with a laugh.

"Well, for me too." He said.

"Why don't ya tell me more 'bout this new year, while we sell." Mush asked.

As the morning went on, I got more excited thinking about getting to see my family again after so long. I had been about six or seven months at least. When we were done selling our papes, I went to Tibby's for the last time. Everyone was there, because by now they all knew that we were going to leave. Dolly rushed up to me pulling David by the hand.

"We'se goin'!" She said excitedly.

Then Three walked up to me, (ok, sort of ran) and said, "Oh my god! Jack told me he would love to go! He talked ta me dis mornin' 'bout everything and it's settled."

Then Copper came last, looking sad. "Spot… told me he could go!" she said breaking into a grin, which made me lightly slap her, "He didn't even hesitate to stay with the other newsies, and he had to find a new leader and everything."

We all ate our lunch, slowly, savoring the last meal that we were going to have in this time, at least for us girls. You're probably thinking, but wait… they can take one more person. I hadn't forgot about that!

"Wait, we can take one more person." I said to the others, saying what I was just thinking.

"I think we should take Racetrack, because he's always been there for us." Copper said.

We all agreed to that quickly, considering he was one of our closest friends we had here. Dolly, Three, Copper, and I all went over to ask him if he would like to go. He agreed, and then we made sure to tell him the catch, about us not being able to come back after we had left, and him being able to come back here and not being able to get back to us.

"I'll go, it's not like I has any family here anyways." He said.

"Yay!" We all said, giving him a hug.

We walked back to the Lodging House, and all of the boys gathered the few belongings that they had. All of us said goodbye to Kid Blink, Boots, Skittery, Crutchy, and the rest of the newsies that we had made friendships with over the past months.

We then walked down to Kloppman to tell him that we were ready. He gave us back our clothes that we had been wearing when we came, and we changed back into them. Kloppman gave the boys each a new change of clothes that looked like what the boys in 2006 wore.

Kloppman then led us into the back room. He told the boys that if they ever wanted to come back, to click their heels together and say Kloppman's name 3 times (I'm not kidding!). He also told us that he would be watching out for all of us, and he wished us good luck. I gave him a huge hug, and thanked him for everything he had done for us. Kloppman smiled and walked out of the room. All of us looked at each other, confused. Didn't he have to send us back?

I opened my mouth to say something, but then there was the darkness again. I opened my eyes, even though I really didn't want to. I didn't see anyone, but I could tell that they were there. I felt like I was falling, again, but this time at least I knew why I was falling. I finally stopped and opened my eyes and saw a maroon leather couch, and there was a t.v. right in front of me. Mush had landed next to me, and all of the others were scattered around.

"I know where we are!" I cried, "I live here!"

"And there's the movie we were watching!" Dolly-I mean Hannah- said.

"I wonder how much time has gone by?" said Three/Molly.

"I guess we'll just have to find out." Copper/Jacqueline said with a smile.

As the boys looked around in awe at everything, I began to think. I may not know what's been going on in 2006, or even if time has passed, but I do know that this was the start of even anothergreat adventure!

There it is! That last lineisREALLY corny... ugh! haha oh well!
