Aricka waited nervously on the Broadway stage. She still couldn't believe she was here. On Broadway! This had been her dream since she was in the orphanage. Iain Young, the new Crutchie, came up before the show and gave her a reassuring hug. "Relax-you're one of the Newsies now," he says. She smiles at him.

"I'm just worried about my babies," she answers. He nods; she'd shown them pictures.

"Is your husband bringing them?" Aricka nods.

"After the show."

Jeremy Jordan was the man leading her onstage in Carrying the Banner. "I have a headline for you: Cheeky Boy gets Nothing for his Efforts," she says, and Jeremy leads her off. She was shaking like a leaf, so Jeremy-or JJ as she calls him-got her water.

*Time skip*

"You snuck up on me Jack Kelly. I never saw it coming." Aricka says. The music starts, and she begins singing,

"

." Andrew smiles at her, and starts singing,

"We was never meant to meet

And then we meet

Who knows why

One more stranger on the street

Just someone sweet passing by

An angel come to save me

Who didn't even know she gave me

Something to believe in

For even a day

One day may be forever

But that's okay

That's okay

And if I'm gone tomorrow

What was ours still will be

I have something to believe in

Now that I know you believed in me..."

They both sang,

"Do you know what I believe in,

Look into my eyes and see..."

"If things were different.." Jack says.

Katherine asks, "What if you weren't going to Santa Fe?"

"And if you weren't an heiress. And if your father wasn't after my head."

"You're not really scared of my father," she says.

"No," Jack replies softly. "But I am pretty scared of you."

They smile at each other, and Andrew sings,

"And if I'm gone tomorrow..."

"" she adds.

"

..."

"I have something to believe in.."

"!" her and Andrew kiss and the scene ends.

*end of the musical*

Aricka runs onstage for her bow and smiles. Her first Broadway musical over.

Afterward, she went to the stage door, where her family was waiting-and there, right next to her husband, was Dean. Grinning, she hugs him, and he congratulates her. Dan hands her baby Amaya and they talk for a few moments before she had to go backstage after signing some autographs.
