Newsies One Shots

Ice Skating

Modern AU 

"I still can't believe you all dragged me to this," Feister grumbled as she got her ice skates on.

"It's easy once ya get used to it," Mush replied with a small shrug.

"Easy my butt," Feister spat. She looked up and saw that some of the boys were already on the ice, and the rest were getting their skates on. "Which I will be fallin' on." It was a beautiful Winter day. It was cold, but not too cold, with clouds in the sky The newsies decided to spend the day ice skating in Central Park.

"Ya got that right," Kid Blink said with a smile. "Race has a little bettin' pool goin' on who's gonna fall the most. So far you've got seven people bettin' on you."

"An' you're one of those seven, aren't ya?" Mush asked as he stood up, but he already knew the answer to that. He just wanted to double check so he can make sure that Blink and who ever the other six are to feel stupid by the end of the day. In other words he was going to make sure Feister wouldn't fall once.

"Well, you might as well get your money now cause I know I'm gonna be fallin' every other second," Feister replied. When she tried to undo her skates, Mush pulled her up in swift move and said, "I'll be right there next to ya the entire time." Feister sighed as Mush dragged her to the ice rink. When they walked up to the entrance of the skate rink, Mush was the first to step onto the ice and Feister waited right where she stood.

"A little ice never killed anybody," Mush said, trying to get Feister to step onto the ice.

"Tell that to the people on the Titanic," Feister replied deadpanned. Usually she wouldn't back down from a challenge, but this was different. There were a million things that could go wrong. One being that the ice could crack and eat her alive.

"I'll be right here next to you," Mush said while holding out his hand. After a few moments Feister grumbled as she took his hand and carefully stepped onto the ice.

"Don't they make a cute couple?" Elmer asked while nudging Henry, who smiled and nodded.

"Just don't tell Chloe," Elmer said with a laugh. Everyone knew that three months after Lacey left, along came goody good Chloe, who's just one big fake. Need I say more? Anyways, while some of the boys were busy skating, others were sweet talking girls. Romeo was no exception to this, but so far none of the girls he had flirted with were very impressed. "How's a guy supposed to sweet talk a girl if she's bein' a ice queen," he grumbled while crossing his arms with a huff.

"Girls like playin' hard to get," Race replied. "Ya gotta bring out the show wininnin' smile, an' bring out the ole charm." just then a pretty brunette skated past the two boys, to an open space where she started to do figure eights, then a bunch of spins. The two boys watched in aw as the girl finished flawlessly. "Watch an' learn Rome," Race said with a smirk before going to the pretty brunette. "Hello gorgeous," he said with his best smile.

"You talking to me blondie locks?" the girl asked while placing her hands on her hips. A quick wind blew past that made the girl's brown locks fall perfectly around her face, while her blue eyes sparkled like the Winter snow.

"Seein' as you're the only pretty girl here, then yes," Race replied. "The name's Racetrack. But you can call me Race. And what might they call a pretty doll like you?"

"Taken," she replied in a sweet tone. "See ya blondie." with that being said Bella skated away as Race stood there dumbfounded.

"I think I'm just goin' ask Albert for girl advice," Romeo said to himself before skating away to find Albert. But not before slipping and falling on his back.
