For Even A Night ❉ Newsies

Fame Works Quicker

"Katherine please try not ta act like it." Race whispered outside the lodging house.

"Yeah we don't wan' Jackie Boy thinking we's really got yous drunk." Crutchie said nervously fixing his cap.

"Pffffffffffft, booooooooys," Katherine mumbled, "it was twoooo driiiiiiinks."

She giggled softly and the group rolled their eyes at her.

"Yeah we didn't know yous couldn't handle dat much.  Considering you're a hardcore tap dancer we's didn't think you'd crash at two!"

"Welllllll, I did!" Katherine yelled running around a lamppost.

Davey grabbed Katherine's hand and pried her off the lamppost.

"Let's go inside." He said sighing deeply, "And don't try anything." He said sternly.

"Fight meeeeeee." Katherine giggled, Fight me! Fight me! Fight meeeeee!"

"At this point, gladly." Davey mumbled under his breath opening the door.

The group saw Jack laying on the couch reading a newspaper and Les doodling and Jack's sketchbook.

"Jack! Jack! Jaaaaaaack!" Katherine yelled excitedly.

Jack looked up confused at his girlfriend's sudden change of emotions.

"Yes?" He asked.

"We-"

Race and Davey looked over at her and gave her the look.

She giggled and twiddled her fingers together.

"Nothiiiiiiing!"

"Katherine." Jack smirked standing up.

"Yup?" She said suppressing a small hiccup.

"Is dere somethin' yous need ta tell me?"

"Nope!"

"Boys?" He asked.

Everyone shook their heads rapidly.

Katherine rocked back and forth on her heels giggling before running over and joining Les, sitting next to him.

"Whatcha drawing?"

"You 'nd Jack!" Les replied.

"Oh, I love it!" Katherine giggled, "It looks just like us!"

It really didn't, it was two stick figures supposed to be "kissing" but didn't look like they were at all.

Jack came over and sat next to her putting an arm around her waist.

"So Katherine, where did da boys and you go today?"

Katherine shrugged, "Don' remember."

Race facepalmed.

"We-We went to the theatre. She was reviewing another vaudeville." Davey stuttered.

"I was?" She asked, "It must have been a good report." She turned back to watch Les continue drawing.

"Katherine!" Romeo hissed through gritted teeth.

Specs put his head in his hands.

"You may kiss me if you'd like." Katherine said giggling.

"What?" Jack asked.

"What is it?"

Jack finally jumped up, "I's knew it!" He said pointing at the boys.

They all raised their hands accusingly.

"Yous got Ace drunk!"

"W-Well I-"
