Newsies One Shots

Baking

Modern AU

"Alright do we have everything?" little Romeo asked excitedly as he jumped up and down to see all the items on the counter.

"Flour, eggs, where's the chocolate chips?" Jack asked while looking at the boys, and Feister. When no one answered that's when Jack noticed there were a few chocolate colored smudges on Albert's face.

"Why are you lookin' at me?" the redhead asked innocently. Jack gave "the look" and in that moment Albert handed the bag of chocolate chips to Jack. It was a cold Saturday morning, and with not much to do the newsies thought it would be a good idea to make some cookies.

Kloppman thought it wasn't the best idea since they would be using the oven. But after some reassurance from Race that they wouldn't burn down the Lodge. Specs of course covered Race's mouth and promised that they would all be careful, and any mess that was made would be cleaned up on the spot.

So, in other words that's how the newsies were going to spend the next few hours making cookies Let's just hope that everything goes as planned.

"So, how is this gonna work?" Tommy boy asked while leaning on the counter. "There's a bunch of us in a small space."

"Easy, we split up into groups," Finch replied as if it was nothing.

"Can we make icing too?" Romeo asked with bright eyes.

Jack groaned quietly. "The last thing we need is a sugar high," he replied. If any of the newsies ate way too much sugar it would be one long weekend. First they would all be hyper, then there's the after effect and...it would just be Halloween all over again.

"Plus, icing is real sticky," Mush added.

Feister crossed her arms, looked at Mush through the corner of her eyes and said, "I told you not to do it. But ya go ahead an' do it anyways. Three showers later an' you're still pickin'-"

"I was thirteen!"

"I was twelve. Your point is?"

"I was young an' dumb."

"Ya got the dumb part right."

"Yeah, well you-"

"Two quit it already!" Kid Blink yelled breaking up Mush and Feister's little fight. "I swear you two fight like an old married couple." Anyways, after a very long debate on whether or not they should make icing. They were going to make it. Looks like it's going to be one long weekend. Err, hopefully it won't be that bad.

"Ok the oldest in each of the groups is in charge of what happens. um...Finch, Henry, Elmer, Tommy, Buttons, you guys make the batter. Specs, Jojo, Ike, Mike, Snipes, you guys get the pans an' oven ready. Race, Mush, Feisty, Romeo, you're on icing duty. Albert, Crutchie, Blink, you guys are helpin' me with the hot cocoa." When Jack finished everyone went to their group to make what they were assigned too

"So what do we do first Finch?" Elmer asked.

Finch thought very carefully for a moment. "Tommy, Elmer, Buttons you measure everything. Henry, you and I are on mixing duty." after a few nods the five boys got the measuring cups, bowls or, the mixing spoons.

While he was getting the mixing spoons Buttons ended up dropping the normal sized spoons. When he picked them up well...long story short he started playing them. Elmer seemed to catch onto the idea. Before Finch, Henry, and Tommy boy knew it Buttons and Elmer were having a spoon battle right in the middle of the kitchen.

"Spoon fight!" the younger newsies all yelled at the same time. Some of the boys stopped what they were doing to watch, the others started making bets on who would win, while Jack facepalmed at the sight. If he saw it once he saw it a million times.
