Chapter 2: They're back!
"That was smooth, Blink. You have no idea where they are do you?" David said.
"Well, at least I got a hold of her. There was a lot of background sound. It sounded like she was at the mall plus there was a lot of static. Her phone is always static-y in the mall." Blink said.
"Okay then. How are we gonna get there?" Mush asked.
They thought for a minute.
"Hey! Shelley's mom has a minivan. There's seven seats and we can put one in the back. All I know is we gotta get to that mall or I'm gonna go insane." Blink shouted.
"Okay, let's go." David said.
They all got in the M.V. (minivan) and David got the driver's seat, Blink had shotgun, Mush and Spot were behind them, Skittery, Specks, and Race were behind them, and Itey was in the back.
They drove to the mall. On the way there David, Blink, Spot, and Mush were arguing. Occasionally Race would chime in but most of the ride he talked to Itey, Skittery, and Specks. They got to the mall and headed into the entrance by Hot Topic, which is across from The Wedding Store.
They walked in and stood next to a bench outside of Hot Topic and scanned different stores.
Blink looked in The Wedding Store and saw a group of girls. There were about 8 or 9 of them. He noticed one was on a pedestal. He nudged David.
"What? Did you find them?" David asked.
"Does that girl standing on that thing look like Izzy?" Blink asked semi-pointing to the girl.
"It does." David said.
"There's only one way to find out. Race c'mere." Blink said.
Race walked over to Blink, "Yeah?"
"Who does that look like?" Blink asked semi-pointing again to the girl on the stool.
"That's Izzy!" He shouted.
In the store,
The woman had just put the last pin in when Izzy heard something.
She looked out the stores door and saw a boy jumping. She squinted to get a better look at him.
"Race!" She squealed, jumped off the stool, and ran out the store.
She knocked over about five shoppers and a buggy. He ran towards her and hugged her.
Elle looked at Race and Izzy and smiled. She walked over to David and poked him in the sides. He jumped about five feet in the air and turned around.
"Hey." He said.
"Hey." She said smiling.
Shelley walked out of the store last and saw everyone and their Newsie reunited. She looked but didn't see Blink. Then someone had covered her eyes with their hands. She pulled their hands off her face and turned around to see Blink smirking his trademark smirk.
"I've missed you." He said giving her a hug.
"I've missed you too." Shelley said putting her head on his shoulder.
"Isabelle, come back in here! She needs to fix your dress! Oh, who's this?" Her mother asked.
"Mom, you remember Racetrack right?" Izzy said hugging him again.
"Oh yes, the boy who left you and broke your heart." Her mother said obviously trying to make him feel guilty.
"Mother! He had to leave! He had no choice." Izzy said.
"Oh Isabelle do you really think the excuse he gave you is true? He probably had another girlfriend back in his own town." Her mother said.
"Mother! How could you say this? I know for a fact that he didn't have another girlfriend! Race isn't that way." Izzy said and looked at Race who was smirking.
"Oh fine Isabelle, I want us to be good terms for your wedding. Now come back in here and take that dress off so the lady can fix it." Her mother said.
"Fine! I'll be right back." Izzy said storming into the store. In 10 minutes she came out in her clothes and stood next to Race who had a look of shock on his face.
"Good terms for your wedding?" Race said with a miffed look on his face.
"I'll explain once we get to Shelley's house." Izzy said.
"No, you'll explain now!" Race said.
At Shelley's house.
"Okay… now you will explain! NO more distractions!" Race said.
"Oh X-Men's on." Izzy said turning up the t.v.
"I said no more distractions! Turn it off!" Race yelled.
"What? Are you kidding?" Shelley said.
"Eww, it's Jubilee's Fairy Tale Theater!" Izzy said.
"Turn it off!" Shelley screamed.
"I've never seen this one before." Blink said.
"It's not vital, you'll live." Elle said.
Race picked up the remote and turned it off.
"Thank you." Izzy, Shelley, and Elle said.
A few minutes later,
"He has the voice of Aladdin. It's like waking up to a cartoon character." Izzy said with a disgusted look on her face.
"You've slept with him!" Race asked his voice cracking.
"HA! If any of us is a virgin, it'd be Izzy." Shelley said.
"But I thought, aren't you a virgin?" David asked Elle.
"No, don't you remember all that hot sex we had? I have scars from when we did it on the stairs." Elle said.
All the Newsies looked at David with a look of shock.
"Go Davey!" Mush yelled patting him on the back.
"Was I present for this? Was I unconscious? You raped me didn't you because I don't remember a thing." David said.
"Well you did pass out right after it…" Elle stated.
"Alright Davey." All the guys except Race said.
"Okay, I know this is good for Davey and all but can we get back to Izzy's wedding that's not to me!" Race yelled jumping up to a standing position.
"Wait, maybe it is to you, she didn't mention." Skittery said.
"You're being Glum n' Dumb again! Look at this, ya leak stupid." Race said walking from one end of the room to the other.
"Yeah, well, she doesn't want to marry the guy," David says helpfully.
"Yeah maybe when she gets married you can stand up when the minister says, "Speak now or forever hold you peace."" Blink said.
"Yeah I'll object!" Race said standing up.
"Overruled." Spot said smirking.
"On what grounds and don't you dare say Brooklyn because that obviously does not work." Blink said pointing a finger at Spot.
"All right I object on the grounds of . . . Queens!" Spot retorted smirking again.
"Did you know that gay people are queens?" David said.
"Yeah, that would sound wrong." Spot said the smirk fading.
"I'm doomed." Izzy said.
"Well you have to marry a stupid guy and you love an even stupider guy so.. yeah you are doomed." David said trying to think if that was allright.
"Thanks David." Izzy said, overly sarcastic.
"You're welcome." David said.
"Honey, I love you dearly. But never become an inspirational speaker." Elle said resting her hand on David's knee.
"Why? I thought it was okay." David said looking at her.
"There you go thinking, it's a dangerous pastime." Elle said.
"I know!" David said.
"But that wacky old coot is Belle's father." Shelley sang looking at Blink.
"And his sanity's only so so." Blink sang putting his arm around Shelley.
"And you two ain't helpin!" Race yelled.
