"Sorry, Race. But I wanted to catch y'all before you moved onto somwhere else! Oh! Jack, he said that we could meet at the restaurant. Y'know? The one that he always met us at last year... Oh, I can't remember the name. But anyway, he said he'd meet us there in an hour."

"Tibbys?" Jack said, "Okay,so we's got an hour."
Racetrack grinned,getting an idea he pulled his cards out, "Blackjack anyone?" he said.
Jack shook his head, "Race is dat all you tink of?"
"As I live an' breate Jacky boy." Racetrack said,grinning.
((hour later?))

Stepping into the restaurant, memories flooded back to David. Smiling, he thought about all the good times they had had here. And Denton had paid for it all!
He stood in the doorway for a moment before Racetrack finally pushed him out of the way. David laughed, coming back to reality.
Looking around for Denton, David sat at their usual table, with Jack and Racetrack.
"What time is it?"
((Who's gonna be Denton? Me? I don't mind!))

((sure go ahead.lol.oh dude! I got a hat yesterday like Kid Blinks! *is wearing it like the freak she is.* lol.))
"Time for yous ta get a watch." Racetrack said,pulling out his pocket watch, "two thoidy. he should be here."
Jack looked around,nodding at the faces he recognized and raising an eyebrow at those that were new. This resteraunt had always been flooded with Newsies.Today there were a few old couples who kept looking at Jack, Race,David, and Spot and the others like they were going to rob them.

"Thanks Race," said David, jokingly. David looked out the window, hoping for a sign of Denton. Then, the door opened, and there he was.
Denton smiled at all the newsies calling out to him, shaking his hand, slapping him on the back, and saying hello. It was good to see the kids again.
"Hey, boys," Denton called out. The restaurant rang with 'hi's from the newsies.
David stood up and walked over to Denton, holding out his hand.
"Welcome back, Mr. Denton," David said.
Denton shook his hand and then pulled David into a quick hug, laughing. "How're you kids doing? Another strike?" Denton released David and sat down at the table with Jack, Racetrack, Spot, and David.
"C'mon, boys. You gotta work sometime," Denton joked.

"Well when da tightwad quits raisin' da prices and gives us a lil breathin' room we will." Racetrack said.
"I know Denton, " Jack said, "but Pulitzers son's worse dan he was. You know how it was two for a penny? Well now he's brought it to dis hot-air artist price of ten cents a paper. We ain't dat rich."

"Ten cents?!" Denton nearly shouted.
The newsies nodded angrily.
"So, what's the plan, gentlemen," Denton asked.
As David filled him in on their plan, Denton ordered himself a sandwich and allowed the rest of the newsies to order all the food that they wanted. He assured them that he would pay for anything that they wanted.
"So, that's your plan?"
David nodded.
"Well, I suppose that's pretty good. I guess that I don't know what else you could do. I suppose that you want me to talk to Mr. Roosevelt? Eh?"

"If you don't mind Denton." Jack said.
Racetrack had been listening,and working on his third hotdog. "If he ain' too busy wit does politics!" he pitched in.

"No, I'm sure that even if he is busy, he'll make time for you boys. I'll write a letter as soon as I get back to my hotel room," Denton smiled. He laughed as Racetrack devoured his hotdogs.
"Say, Denton," said David, "How come you're staying in a hotel?"
"Well, Dave," Denton looked at him sadly, "They still need me as a war correspondant. So, I won't be here very long. Two weeks at best. I sure hope that you have another person that'll help you boys. They are still mad at me for the last time you all had a strike. As soon as they find out about this one, they'll get me out of New York faster than... I dunno. Faster than something!"

"If it comes down to dat I'll find someone." Jack said,
"Yeah,an' if dey try ta get ya outta here we'll soak um!" Racetrack said,laughing.
Jack looked at Racetrack who had mustard all over his face, "Oh yeah, de'll be tremblin' in dere boots seein' yous walking up to dem." he then turned back to Denton and David, " WHy would dey be mad at you? It ain' your fault we striked, it was deres."
