Family Through and Through

Dancing Through Life

Lydia's POV-

When Sprint and I entered the room I swear all of their mouths dropped to the floor, especially Crutchie and Mush.

"Ummmmmm okay.... I gonna go get the roast put a the oven.."Sprint whispered the last part to me

"Okay." I laughed.

"You look really pretty Feisty." Pint said coming up to me.

"Oh that remains me! Here happy birthday.!" I smiled giving her the box. When she opened it her eyes grew huge.

"Thank you thank you thank you!!! This is the best present ever!" She said hugging me.

"You're welcome." I said laughing.

"Can you help me go put it on?"

"Of course." I said as she dragged me upstairs and into our room.

"Here." I said motioning for her to step into the dress. It was a pretty dress. It was a greenish blue, the sleeves were just cap sleeves, and it went to just below her knees. I buttoned the last button on the back.

"There Ya go!" I said

"Thank you!" She said spinning in front of the mirror.

"Ready?"

"Yea!" She said running down the stairs.

I followed her and heard the newsies start to sing some random song.I walked over to Sprint to help her with the roast.

"I've never seen the guys like this." she said chuckling.

"Really?"

"Ya. Here can you tell EM it's ready please?" She said getting the plates.

"Guys dinner's ready!" I yelled from the kitchen.

"I could've done that." she said rolling her eyes.

"I know." I smiled.

"Mmmm smells good." Race hummed.

-After Dinner-

"Why don't we gets some music in here. I wanna dance!" Skittery said as he jumped up from the poker table

"Yea I wanna dance with this special little lady."Jack smiled as he put a hand on Pint's shoulder, as she giggled.

"Okay okay. Come on guys!" Race said as he gathered up Blink, Inks, and Romeo.

"Finch! Go and see if Kloppman will let us use his piano!" Mush shouted as he was lifting boxes with the rest of the guys.

"Hey Crutchie, is ya leg feelin up to dancin' tonight?" I walked over to him

"Ahhhh maybe." he said smiling, not beeing able to keep his eyes off of Sprint.

"It betta. I know a goil who'd love to dance with ya." I said nudging his arm

"And who'd that be?"

"Ya know her. Ya starin right at her!" I laughed

"Oh, ya sure. Like she'd eva wanna dance with me." he said sheepishly.

"Ya gotta be kiddin me. Ya see the way she looks at ya?"

"Hey come help me move this!" Finch said from behind the piano

"Im comin. Im comin. Rememba what I said Crutchie." I winked as I ran over to the piano pushing it to the corner of the room

"So ya gonna play Inks?"

"Yup. Whateva the little lady wants!" he told Nat

"Ummmmmm... Can you play a cakewalk?" she skipped over.

"Sure. Alright guys, get a partner! The lot of you who dont will have ta wait till the next song!" Inks yelled out as he picked up a stool from the corner and placed it infront of the piano.

-Sprint's POV-

"Hey Crutchie, wanna dance?" I asked

"I'd love ta, but I cant do this one its too hard on my leg. As soon as they play a slower one I promise I'll dance with ya." he smiled

"Okay."I smiled and sat next to him

"I dont want ya sitting out 'cause a me. Hey Specs!" he called from across the room

"Ya?" he walked over.

"Can ya dance with Sprint for the fast songs?" he asked

"Oh, Crutchie, I'm fine sitting with y-"

"No, ya wanna dance I can see it in ya eyes, and I dont want ya ta sit with me bored ta death. I also want Specs here, ta dance with ya, 'cause I dont want ya ending up with Race as a partner. Have ya seen him dance I mean he dances like a chicken." he said as he put his hand on mine.

"With da face of a monkey." Jack said as everyone cracked up except for Race.

"Ya sure Crutchie I'll dance with her." Specs took my hands as the music started. As we spun around, I saw Feisty laughing as she danced with Mush. Jack was spinning Pint around, bending almost completely over to reach her. Finch was spinning Race around as the others were laughing. We all clapped after the last chord was struck.

"So what'll it be now miss?" Inks asked

"Let's do a slower one I'm getting tired of being on my tippy toes." Pint said as Jack laughed.

"Well ma back's getting tired too. Ya mind if ya dance with Race for this one, considerin he's the shortest?" Jack chuckled.

"Okay!" she skipped over to Racetrack.

"Spriiiiiint." I heard Crutchie yell from across the room.

"Ya sure ya can do this?"

"No. But I want ta" he smiled as he rested his crutch on the wall and limped over to me.

"Okay, but if you hurt yaself..........' I said as he took my hands in his as we started dancing. Well, more like swaying as all the other couples danced around the room. I didnt care that he could'nt dance, or that he had a gimp leg. All I wanted was to stay in his arms like this forever.
