Love Is A First (Spot Conlon Fanfiction)

Chapter 6

Tempest's POV-

Medda walked on stage and started to sing.

(Begin Song)

Medda and Newsies- High times, hard times. Sometimes the living is sweet. And sometimes there's nothing to eat. But I always land on my feet. So when there's dry times

I wait for high times and then. I put on my best and I stick out my chest. And I'm off to the race's again!

(Pause Singing)

"Hello, newsies. What's new?" Medda called. "Whoo! Medda" I heard the newsies yell.

(Continue Singing)

MEDDA: So your old lady don't love you no more. So you're afraid there's a wolf at your door. So you've got street rats that scream in your ear

MEDDA & NEWSIES: You win some, you lose some my dear, Oh... High times, hard times

Sometimes the living is sweet. And sometimes there's nothing to eat. But I always land on my feet. So when there's dry times I wait for high times and then I put on my best, And I stick out my chest, And I'm off to the races again

MEDDA: I put on my best!

NEWSIES: I put on my best!

MEDDA: And I stick out my chest

NEWSIES: And I sticks out my chest

MEDDA: And I'm off

NEWSIES: And I'm off

MEDDA: And I'm off

NEWSIES: And I'm off

MEDDA: And I'm off

ALL: To the races again!

(End Song)

I stood up and applauded along with the rest of the newsies. Race and Blink were in the front blowing kisses. A waiter brought us some drinks and we sat down, laughing. I could see Denton on the side talking to a man. Suddenly, the man turned around and I could see his face.

"Snyder" I whispered. I turned around and shook Spot.

"It's Snyder. Snyder" I yelled. Spot looked around and saw him.

"You get outta here" Spot said and started to push me.

"Not without Jack. Or a fight" I smirked and pushed through the crowd to find Jack.

"Jack! Jack!" I yelled. He was sitting with a girl at a table.

"Jack Kelly!" I hollered. He looked at me and stood up.

"Snyder!" I yelled. He didn't hear me and sat back down, talking to the girl. I rolled my eyes and raised my staff.

"Jack Kelly!" I yelled. He looked up again and stared at me.

"Snyder you idiot! It's Snyder!" I yelled. He looked over and found the warden.

"Go" he yelled and the police started whistling. They flooded into the room and started beating up the newsies.

"Run!" I yelled to Mush and blocked a blow for him.

"Tempest!" Someone yelled. I turned around and Ace grabbed me.

"They want you. Get out!" he yelled and pushed me towards the exit.

"Wait!" I yelled and turned around just to see Ace get smacked down by a club.

"Ace!" I yelled and watched him get dragged away.

"Tempest!" Mush yelled and hoisted me onto a railing, out of harm's way... For now.

"Get outta my way!" I hollered and started pushing my way down the stairs. Next to me, Blink grabbed Jack and started leading him outside. I pushed through the police and managed to swing onto the second floor.

"Tempest!" someone yelled. I turned around and saw Spot cornered against a wall.

"Hey! I'm innocent!" he yelled.

"Move it!" I yelled and stabbed the man.

"Come on!" I said and pulled Spot up.

"I'll hold them off, you gotta get outta here" Spot said and pushed me towards the exit.

"No we fight together" I said and blocked another blow. He smirked and we pushed through them. There was a balcony that was clear and we climbed up.

"Not bad Eventide" Spot said and looked down at the police that were attempting to climb up.

"You too Conlon" I smirked. "Let's go" he said and we ran down the stairs. I stopped just in time to see Jack get soaked and fell backward into the police.

"Jack!" I screamed.

"Go! Hurry!" Spot said.

"I can't" I yelled.

"Go" Spot yelled and got smacked over the head with a club.

"Stop!" I screamed and tried to stop the man. He hit my neck with a chain and I fell backward.

"Tempest! Tempest!" Spot yelled and tried to get them off of me. I was being carried backward, down the stairs, just as Jack was.

"Tempest! Tempest! Get her!" Spot yelled and other newsies ran over.

"Get your dirty rotten hands off of her!" Spot yelled again. I looked up and grabbed my staff and his hand.

"Go!" I whispered and blacked out.

Spot's POV-

"Get your dirty rotten hands off of her!" I yelled. She opened her eyes and grabbed my hand.

"Go" she whispered and went limp. I stopped there and watched her get dragged away. She looked lifeless, pale and broken.

"You too" a man said and cuffed my hands, leading me to a carriage cell.

"Ace!" I said and shook my friend awake.

"Spot!?" he drowsily said.

"Where's Jack?" he asked.

"They got him" I muttered.

"What about Tempest?" he asked again. I stared off into space, reluctant to answer his question.

"They took her too" Ace muttered.

"She looked dead" I whispered.

"Tempest can take care of herself, Spot. She'll be fine" Ace said.

"I hope you're right!" I mumbled.
