Yay! Another chapter! Sorry this one took so long, but at first I wanted to do a wedding scene but couldn't figure out how to start it so then I changed it but I got a bit lazy and let's just say I got lazy and did several rewrites of this chapter.

Panda Bear-That's good that your mom is okay now. I'm glad my story is good enough to make you cry. I'm thinking I might start planning the Lovely Flautist Bones story sometime soon. I have like, three or four story ideas in my head plus I'm planning a sequel for Cousins Lost and Found so we'll have to see when that happens. Yeah, someone saw that challenge. I saw it a while ago, it just took this long for me to get around to finishing the stories I was working on and deciding that I would try it. (I'm very glad you have confidence that I'll do a good job. Hope I live up to the expectations...) I'm not studying to be a writer, but I do love writing and I have a goal from high school to get something published so maybe I'll look into becoming a writer. Thanks for saying I'm good. Are you talking about showing the Newsies Spin-off at Newsie-Con or my writing? I'm guessing the spin-off but yeah, we should totally do that and make a bunch of money and then you can laugh at the people who make fun of you. Be all like "Yeah, I'm so cool, I started a convention, made a movie, and made tons of money off it. Take that, scabbers!" (Yes, I am a genius. Thank you very much. Here until 10...) I saw that movie. There was waaaaaaay too much swearing but it was really funny besides that and the dance thing they did at the very end was hilarious. I think that was my favorite part. Yay! Newsie party! I'm so bringing Crutchy and Blink and...who else is awesome? Maybe I'll bring Dutchy just for the heck of it. And...I don't know. Let's just grab our favorite newsies and then start shoving them through our time-travel machine and see who ends up coming with us. LES! WE HAVE TO BRING LES BECAUSE HE'S SOO FREAKING ADORABLE! Anyway, I read iNewsie. It was kinda funny. (And as you already saw, I did the newsie-baking-cookies-one-shot. Now I want to bake cookies...)

Tif S-I'm just glad you're still reading it! I'm more glad that you still like it. Yeah, it was quite the right huh? I have no plans to shake anything up in the near future. No promises about after that though. I like to keep things interesting. I'm glad Ally's okay too and I figured it was about time for something to go right. Of course Ally's dad likes her boyfriend! I'm all about happy endings. If I did a sequel, what do you think it should be about? I'm working out a plot for a Cousins Lost and Found sequel so I can include these characters in that story for sure. YES! Someone guessed it! Yeah, I had just watched Iron Man 3 and liked the name so when I needed a name, I was like "Let's use Killian, just for the heck of it." So far you're the only person that's guessed and you got it right. Extra points for you! I'll even send you brownies AND a cake!

MinnieG-Really? The last chapter was the best? Well thank you. Glad you enjoyed it that much. You do tend to scream when excited. But that's okay. I...don't know what I do when I get excited. Bounce around whatever room I'm in talking a lot and really fast, I guess. I'm really sorry, but this story must come to an end at some point. (Not this point. Don't worry, I still have one more chapter planned.) But sadly, some jerk came up with the rule that all good things must come to an end. (Grrr...) The good news is that it'll still be up on the site so you can read it over and over again plus if enough people want a sequel, I will be making one. Oh, by the way, I also write stories and/or make up characters for people who are awesome and review on my stories regularly. So let me know anything you would like to be included in your story/any special things about your character and I will get that going as soon as I can. Okay?

So here's another chapter. The next one, sadly, will be the ending of this story. But no worries! I will be creating more stories for you to read and if you want to see more of these characters, just let me know in a review and something can be arranged! I will be glad to accommodate people as best I can. (As you already know, I don't do slash or swearing, but I would be happy to accommodate as best I can other than that.) So go read this chapter and review already!

"How did you manage to do this?" Ally asked me. We were sitting at a table in Medda's theatre, drinking colas. I had surprised Ally by picking her up at her house in Queens and brought her to Manhattan, where the newsies had helped me plan a surprise party for her birthday.
"I'm the king of New York," I told her, wiggling my eyebrows. She giggled, shaking her head at me.
"You don't have enough money to do this. Do you?" She looked at me suspiciously, but I could see the twinkle in her eye. I pretended to be insulted before we both laughed. Just then, Denton came in to Medda's and walked over to us. I introduced Denton to Ally.
"Nice to meet you, young lady," he said. Denton shook her hand before pulling out a paper and placed it in front of us. "Have you seen this story? You're one famous girl."
I grabbed the paper out of Denton's hand and read through it quickly. It was about Ally and Rooster; how they had been captured by Snyder and Weasel but gotten away. There was even a section about how Ally had been very sick but survived. My name was mentioned and there was even a picture of the three of us-Rooster was making a face as Ally and I hugged outside their house.
"You really are the king of New York," Rooster commented as he read over my shoulder. "So what does having your picture in the paper get you around here?" I smiled at the boys as we began yelling out things at the same time.
"A pair of new shoes with matchin' laces," Mush yelled out.
"A permanent box at Sheepshead races," I said.
"A porcelain tub with boilin' water," Spot chimed in, grabbing a cola and facing Ally with a smile.
Blink jumped up on a table. "A Saturday night with the Mayor's daughter." He smiled at Laura as everyone laughed.
"Look at me; I'm the King of New York." I started singing, grabbing the paper and rolling it up. "Suddenly, I'm respectable, starin' right at 'cha lousy with stature." Rooster gave me a funny look and I swatted him with the rolled up paper.
"Nobbin' with all the muckety mucks, I'm blowin' my dough and goin' deluxe," Jack added.
"And there I be, ain't I pretty?" I sang. Jack slung his arm around my shoulders and we both said "It's my city; I'm the King of New York."

I smiled at Ally as she watched Race dancing across the tables at Medda's. We were in the middle of telling her and Rooster what we would get if we had enough money. Ally nodded when Boots said he wanted a corduroy suit, smiled when Les said he wanted s mezzanine seat to see the flickers, and wrinkled her nose when Snipeshooter told her he wanted Havana cigars that costed a quarter. Someone passed her the paper and she looked at it, Rooster leaning over her shoulder.
"I gotta be either dead or dreamin' 'cause look at that pape with my face beamin'," he said. Together, they said in unison "Tomorrow they may wrap fishes in it but I was a star for one whole minute."Everyone started singing with them. "Don't ask me how fortune found me, fate just crowned me; now I'm King of New York. Look and see; once a piker, now a striker, I'm the King of New York. Front page story, guts and glory; I'm the King of New York!" We all started cheering and I walked over to Ally. She smiled at me and offered a piece of cake. I took it with a smile, giving her a wrapped present.
"Open it," I said in respond to her curious look. Tearing into the brown paper, she gasped when she saw the sheets of new music I had gotten her. Rooster had helped me pick it out and she gave both of us a big hug when we told her. Race walked over and wrapped his arms around Allegra's waist. She turned and did a little dance on the spot, showing Race her present. I was content to back away and let them be together. After watching them a bit longer and talking with the Manhattan newsies, I decided it was time to go. On the way out, Robin greeted me with a kiss on the cheek.
"Wat was dat for?" I asked.
"Dat was because Ise love youse," she told me. Taking her hand with a smile, we walked back to Brooklyn.

"Racetrack, this was wonderful," I said that night as we walked home. Castel had walked Maggie home and made Race promise to bring me home safely. "Thank you very much for planning it for me."
He placed his hands on my waist and gave me a gentle, lingering kiss. When we pulled apart, we just stood there looking at each other. I could see desire in his eyes and was sure he could see it in mine. Finally he broke the silence and whispered to me. "I want to be with you very much," he said, placing a hand on my cheek.
"I want very much to be with you also," I whispered, using English. I had secretly learning English from Castel and Maggie and had planned to surprise Race by using it one day. My plan had worked, judging by the very surprised look on his face. I giggled until tears came to my eyes.
"You…youse…Ally, youse know English! When did youse…?" he stuttered out.
"I work hard to learn English. I remember what you teach me while I visit Mama's people and speak English there. I do not want you always have to speak Italian to me."
"Ally, dat's wonderful!"
"Castel help me. He say he learn English at school and from newsies. He help teach me."
"Are dere any other surprises Ise should know about?" he asked with a raised eyebrow. I shook my head. "Den Ise going ta kiss youse again." He did and I smiled.

Sorry about the long author's note at the start of the chapter. I'll make this one short. There's nothing to translate, so go review already!
