Chapter 6 ; Yet Another Invitation

The next couple of rehearsals were really strange. The notorious rivalry between the Newsies and the Drama Girls was slowly melting. Now of course that didn't mean they were friends, they were just tolerating each other. Even Joey, who was normally very suspicious of the boys, had grown to trust them. The set was becoming amazing. But the boys had not forgotten their plan...especially Spot.

"So, are we still going to do it?" asked Spot one day when they were totally alone.

The boys looked at each other. "I guess..." said Race.

"Ok, well, we need to discuss it" proclaimed Spot.

"I don't know..."said Crutchy.

"You don't know what" asked Spot, angered.

"It's kind of dangerous to the girls..." Crutchy said quietly, looking down.

"Oh, they won't get hurt that bad! I've changed it so that it hurts there egos more" said Spot.

"Spot, this plan of yours can put them in the hospital" said Jack, his voice a little stern.

"No, listen... "said Spot.

"NO." said Jack.

Spot, not one to be yelled at, got in Jack's face.

"Listen, I wouldn't jeopardize there health, but I will jeopardize there reps" spat Spot.

"If any of them get hurt I'll-" "You'll what?" cut off Spot.

Just then Joey walked in. "Working hard boys?" he said, knowing something was up.

Jack glared at Spot. "Yeah Joey..." he said and walked over to a chair that needed to be painted.

"Good" said Joey and sat down to observe.

Meanwhile, Laura ran out of the wings in a fit of rage, where she observed the whole conversation.

"Asses!" she bellowed. She stormed into the shop room, where the girls decided to go to get some extra practice in choreography while the boys were working in C09.

"Guys you need to know..." said Laura as she crashed through the door.

"Whoa Laura, calm down! What's wrong?" Jacquie and the rest of the girls stopped dancing.

"Listen" she said and told them what she heard.

The girls stood there, processing what they heard.

"Well" said Danielle" Good to know"

"Good?" Brittany yelled. "How is ANY of that good?"

"Well would you rather know than not?"

"I would personally rather punch them all in their faces, and then kick them off crew" said Laura, heading back for the door.

"We need them to finish the set!" proclaimed Kara.

"Did you not hear her Kara? They are sabotaging us!" said Katie, aggravated.

"Yeah, well, we can sabotage too" Kara told them.

"I can't believe we were beginning to trust them" Tanya said, a look of hurt flashed through her eyes.

"Well, did you really expect more from them" said Brittany.

Tanya sighed. "I guess not..."

"What are we going to do?" asked Kara.

"Well I think we should find out what exactly they are planning..." said Jacquie. The girls huddled in.

The boys, on the other hand, were slaving away for Joey.

"GO! GO! GO!" he shrieked as the boys lifted the large platform and moved it to the back of the stage. "No! It has to be symmetrical!"

"It IS symmetrical" Blink replied, wiping sweat from his forehead.

"Not the way I want it!"

"Than you do it!" Mush yelled out, but then realized what he said, and clapped his hand over his mouth.

"Excuse me?" said Joey, fuming.

"Um...nothing" Mush said, backing up slowly into the platform.

"Did you just tell ME to do it?" asked Joey, pointing to himself.

"Erm..."

"You better not have just said that"

"Oh no"

"Good. Because I brought you into this world, and I can easily take you out of it" he said, practically punning Mush against the wall.

"Into this world... what?" whispered Mush confused.

"INTO THE WORLD OF THEATER YOU FUCKING MORON" Joey screamed in his face.

"Oh...right..." said Mush, cowering.

"Ugh. Just go home. All of you just go home..." Joey said in disgrace, then leaving the room. Just then, the girls walked in with unusually large grins on their faces.

"Joseph, what's wrong?" said Kara, sweetly.

"NOTHING!" Joey screamed, and then stormed out.

"What did u boys do?" asked Laura.

The boys just shook their heads, their eyes still wide from Joey's outburst.

"Well boys, we've come to help" said Brittany.

"Joey actually told us all to leave, said Specs.

"Oh no you can't" said Brittany "we need a set"

"Well, it's practically done" said Jack, reaching in his back pocket for his keys.

"But we really want it done right now" Katie begged.

"But-"

"Oh, please..." said Kara with a pout to Mush.

"Ok" said Mush right away, causing a glare from the other guys, but he just shrugged.

"He's so weak" whispered Spot.

"I heard that" Mush said, walking to the other side of the platform. The girls stood back and watched, their own plan that they hatched after hearing the bad news about the boys were swimming in their heads.

"Help me move this" said Mush. The boys got around the platform and moved it to it's proper spot.

"Thanks" said Mush.

The boys looked over at the girls, who were still grinning.

"Good job" Brittany told them with a smirk.

"Um...thanks" said Blink, looking a little suspicious. It was the kind of look the girls had on when they told the boys they were taking them for dinner.

"Something's up" he whispered to Race.

"Yep" Race whispered back.

"What do we do?" Blink asked.

"Just keep smiling back" Race said. Both boys turned and gave the sweetest smiles of there lives.

"We were just wondering" started Kara.

"No, we can't go out to dinner" spat Spot.

"We were not going to ask you out to dinner again" replied Danielle, calmly.

"Oh, then what" said Jack, still skeptical.

"Well, my mother is throwing a party, in which we will be needing dates to..." said Danielle.

"Oh..." said Spot, a little confused.

"Wait...let me get this straight" said Race. "You expect us to come with you, after what you did before?" He was laughing hard.

"We already apologized" said Tanya, her smile quickly fading.

"I don't know if I trust you" said Blink.

"Ya, I mean, how do we know you guys aren't going to poison our food or anything..." said Specs.

"And risk our sets not being complete?" said Jacquie smartly.

The boys looked at each other. "Could you excuse us for a moment?" Crutchy asked and they went to the other side of the room and formed a huddle.

"What do you think?" asked Spot.

"Sounds pretty sketchy to me" said Mush.

"Yeah, but they are right about the sets" said Race.

"I think we should go..." said Jack, staring back at the girls over his shoulder.

"Jack?" said Blink" think of what they did before"

"I know, but like Tanya said, they apologized" he said, still staring.

"Dude? Are you ok?" asked Spot.

"Yeah...why?" he said, finally snapping out of his daze.

"Never mind" said Crutchy "so we're going?"

"I guess so" said Race and they broke their huddle and walked back over to the girls, who were huddled themselves.

"You think they'll go?" asked Tanya.

"Of course they will. It's free food." said Kara.

"That's true" giggled Danielle.

"Ehem..." they heard a throat clear behind them. They broke apart to see the boys standing in front of them with their arms folded.

"We're going to come...but on one condition" said Blink.

"And what's that?" asked Brittany.

"WE are driving"
