It was late one night during a party in the safe-house when Jack and David got up, catching some of the other's attention. They grinned and jumped up on two chairs.

Jack:

Startin' now
He's the king of Brooklyn.

David:
Ain't ya heard?
He's the king of Brooklyn.

Spot stopped talking to Red and turned, his eyes wide. "What the...?" The tune was altered slightly to fit in with the new words, and those words were what made him want to both laugh and cry. Jack and David sang, the words changed here and there to fit him, and then Red was on the table, smirking down at him in that annoying way only he could.

Red:
Ain't ya heard?
He's the king of Brooklyn!

Jack, Red, and David:
Holy cow
It's a miracle
Bronx's cryin'

Queens is dyin'
Flashpots are shootin' bright as the sun
He's one highfalutin' son-of-a-gun
Don't ask me how
Fortune found him
Fate just crowned him
Now he's king of Brooklyn.
Look and see
Once a piker

Now a striker
He's the king of Brooklyn.
Victory!
Front page story
Guts and glory

He's the king of Brooklyn!

Spot shook his head and a devilish grin lit his eyes as he jumped up next to Red.

"Once and for all
Something tells me the tide'll be turnin'
Once and for all
There's a fire inside me
That won't stop burnin'

Now that the choices are clear
Now that tomorrow is here

Watch how the mighty will fall
For once and for all."

The newsies laughed and whistled as Spot nudged Red in his side.

"Once and for all

We'll be there to defend one another

Once and for all

Every kid is our friend

Every friend a brother."

Red's eyes were tearing up slightly, but he threw a shoulder around Spot's shoulders, smirking as they finished it at the top of their lungs.

"Five thousand fists in the sky

Five thousand reasons to try

We're goin' over the wall

Better to die than to crawl

Either we stand or we fall

For once, BROOKLYN!

Once and for all!"

Red and Spot cracked up laughing, leaning on each other to keep from falling off of the table. Without a word, Spot held up his cane, and Red grabbed it just below the other's hand.

"We protected what is ours,

nows all we got to do

is keep on skippin through the flowers

Brooklyn this was for you!"

Jack busted out laughing, swiping at their heads. "What the heck! Are you two DRUNK!"

"Well, we had...a little ta drink..." Spot smirked at David, thinking he was Jack. "Nuttin...ser-serious..."

"Yeah!" Red cried, nearly falling over. "Nuttin...seri...seri...what he said!"

David shook his head with a chuckle, "Whoo boy, can this get any worse?"

He should have known better than to say that for with Brooklyn around, the answer to that was always yes.

And Brooklyn was always going to be around.

THE END (for real this time!)

OR NOT!

Sequel!

Someone ran in the house then, chest heaving. It was a girl a little younger than Jack, it looked like, with honey colored hair pulled back from her face. When Spot saw her he froze, the laughter dying from his face. "Caroline." He whispered.

Red stood ramrod straight, gazing at her in barely restrained anger. "Whaddya want? You've no business 'ere!"

"Matthew..." She hardly seemed to care about the angry looks she was receiving or the snapped sentence from the tall redhead. "Mom and Dad want you home. We're leavin' New York and yer comin with us."

Whoo boy! We aint done with this yet!

No sir we aint!
