《What Happens Now: Sequel to Adopted by Thomas Sanders And The Sanders Sides》Opening Night of Newsies
Advertisement
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.

Toothpick
“Hello! My humble audience! I, the Bard of the North, am going to tell you a tale. Nothing new, nothing old. A story of a hero, some may say, others a poor boy who was hated by the world.” The storyteller paused as he waited, right timing was everything when telling a story. Pacing… Too slow and the audience became bored then left without tossing even the smallest of coins. If he spoke too fast and rushed the story. It would leave the audience confused and having no reason to be impressed. So like any good storyteller, the Bard has to do a balancing act of sorts. Not too slow, not too fast. Just perfectly in the middle. “In a shattered country in the south, a novice princeling has the ambition to mend a torn tapestry that is his birthplace. Struggling to fend off those who would usurp the throne in an unending civil war spanning centuries. A mercenary that left only death in his wake, unable to stave off the monotony and peace of life. He looks back at the path laden with bodies, wondering if it was all worth it. Wandering souls summoned by a madman, travel away from a wasteland in a foreign land, the first alone, the others as companions. A deity, ancient in her years, waiting to be freed from a duty she no longer enjoys. For all these people and their stories, none are the hero of this tale. No, the hero is not grand, not wise, not ready.. he was punished for nothing of his doing, who was an outcast that was unloved by many, including his father.” This was always the big reveal novices use to jump off into their story. He did not start here, instead, like any good fishermen, he set the bait and waited until the fish bit before pulling. As he saw the audience's eyes focus, he then started the backstory. The harness, that stopped the listeners from having metaphorical whiplash. The foreshadowing. “But that is not where the story starts. No, not even the hero's birth. Where the story begins, is the boredom of the deity, a deity many know of. She who hunts for the impossible, the guide for those who have lost the path, the Huntress of Mallon--” A small pause, a short breath. “--All old names for a single powerful being that has roamed the grounds of this continent longer than any line of kings or queens, lords or ladies. A being of worship for many an individual…” One last breath. And he began singing the first verse.
