Newsies One Shots

Magical Midnight

Modern AU

"WHaT?" Feister asked while shaking her head. She rubbed her eyes before opening them again to see the annual Newsies Year Eve party was in full swing as usual. The Lodge was full of life, the TV was playing the countdown special, and all was well. Kloppman watched everything from his desk with a smile, while making sure nothing got out of hand. It's one thing dealing with teen boys and two girls, it's another to deal with a room full of teen boys and girls! But, thankfully nothing bad happened. "I called ya like a thousand times!" Mush exclaimed. "I was askin' what soda ya wanted, but you spaced out on me. What gives?"

"Sorry," Feister replied quietly. "I must've zoned out. Anyways, you were saying somethin bout soda?" Feister asked changing the subject. "Just surprise me." Mush nodded knowing now wasn't the time to push Feister into talking. While getting up from the couch Mush said a quick "I love ya" and placed little peck on Feister's lips before running off to get something to drink. Feister smiled to herself as she lightly bit her lip. "Love ya too," she thought. "Idiot."

"So was it worth the wait or what?" Kid Blink asked as he slid into the empty spot next to Feister, who gave him a confused look. "Ya know, havin' to watch Mush go out with other girls in the past and waitin' for him to finally come clean bout his true feelings. Was it all worth waitin' for?"

"And why do you care," Feister asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Ya weren't very subtle durin' all those long rants-"

"Would ya stop takin' my spot next to my girlfriend every time I leave Blink," Mush said when he came back with two cups of soda in hand.

"Hope to do this again sweetheart," Blink said to Feister with a wink while getting up and left the Lovebirds alone.

"Why can't everyone just lay off my girl already," Mush asked out loud while sitting down. Though it was obvious Kid Blink and pretty much all the boys flirted with Feister just to get on his nerves, that didn't mean Mush took it as a simple joke. This was his girlfriend for crying out loud! Only he could flirt with her.

"Your girl, huh?" Feister asked as she wrapped her arms around Mush and laid her head on his shoulder. A small blush crept across her cheeks. It didn't matter if was four months or four years. She would never get used to that term. It all felt like a dream, and she was going to wake up at any moment. "You're cute when you get all jealous. Ya know that right?"

"For the last time Feisty, I ain't jealous!" Mush replied.

11:58 P.M.

"Oh I'm sorry. I meant to say protectively jealous. You're cute when ya get like that," Feister replied as she moved her hand up to the back of Mush's neck and started to play with the ends of hair that were there. Before anything else was said some girl walked up to the two of them, shot Mush a flirty look while saying, "Hey hot-"

"BACK OFF TWENTY POUNDS OF MAKEUP!" Feister shouted while giving this random girl the code red Z 100 raging fire apocalypse glare. Feister quickly hugged Mush as tightly as she could while forgetting all about the fact that he was holding two cups of soda. The girl was clearly a freshman from The World High School. Feister could just tell by the "trying too hard to get a guy" look. "HE'S MINE! AS IN OFF THE MARKET. NOT INTERESTED IN YOU ANYWAY POSSIBLE. AND IF YOU TRY TO STEAL HIM AWAY FROM ME I WILL MAKE YOUR LIFE AN ACTUAL LIVIN' HELL! CAUSE YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M EVEN REMOTELY CAPABLE OF YOU LITTLE PIECE OF FRESH MEAT. OR SHOULD I SAY, STALE MEAT. SO HOW BOUT YOU GO BACK TO THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HAVE A LITTLE NAPPY TIME WHILE YOU LET THE BIG KIDS HAVE FUN! OR BETTER YET, YOU CAN SHOW YOUR DESPERATE LITTLE BUTT RIGHT OUT OF HERE. I HOPE THE DOOR KICKS YA INTO A SNOWBANK ON THE WAY OUT AND GIVES YA FROSTBITE!"
