diclaimer:we dont own it. derr.

Gwen tore apart anyone that got in her way. She knew that freedom was close and she had to get it. She stopped. The scene before her was shocking, something that she thought wouldn't have happened. Jack, Spot, Mush, Blink, Race and all the other Newsies were on one side of the room. The other side was what caught her attention. The guards stood there with Bumlet's in the lead.

Jack and Spot stopped. There, across the room, stood guards. But that wasn't what surprised them. What was surprising was the fact that Bumlet's and Queen's Newsies were standing with them.
"Why hello Jack, Spo-" Bumlet's grinned maniacally.
"You son of a bitch!" Spot shouted.
"Now now, be kind boys. I'm on the side that has your girlfriends. You wouldn't want me to do something... drastic."
"You can't." Spot turned to see Gwen in a tight little red dress with Maggie slung over her shoulder.
"Gwen."
"Not now." She mouthed.
"You got out." Bumlet's face turned pasty white, then his face contorted itself into a demonic smile.
"Yes. You shouldn't be surprised." Gwen said coolly.
"Why did you do it?" Jack asked.
"Are you seriously wanting to talk? I thought you were all about fighting."
"Just answer." Mush growled.
"Ooh, I'm scared! In case you haven't noticed, we have more people than you."
"You'd be surprised." Glider called. Then Brooklyn came rushing in armed and all.
"We came when we heard the alarm." Counts explained to Spot.
"Well, well... this is gonna get interesting." Bumlet's side charged, shouting. Brooklyn and Manhattan lifted their weapons.
"Fire!" Spot called. Arrows, rocks, even dirty diapers were flung across the room.
"Reload! Front defend!" David called. The first few lines held off till the archers were ready.
"Fire!" Jack screamed. Guards and Newsies went down, arrows stuck inside them. Then it became an all in war.
"JACK!" Gwen shoved Maggie into his arms grabbing a fallen sword. She sliced away at the enemy furiously. She used the handle of the sword to break a Queen's ribs. Then she thrusted her sword forward into the chest of a guard. Gwen took his weapon.
"Gwen weapon!" Counts called. Gwen tossed him a gun before returning to her own battle. She and Spot were back to back.
"Gwen up and over." Spot whispered. They linked arms. Spot pulled Gwen up and over his back. They resumed the fight.
"Spot!" Jack handed Maggie to him, "gotta get in this!" Jack took a gun shooting down the enemy.
"Gwen!" Gwen turned agreeing to take Maggie. This went on for who knows how long.
"He's running!" Glider called, pointing to the retreating Bumlet's.
"Let's get him!" Some of the Newsies raced off, leaving the others to finish the rest of the enemies. They ran around a corner, losing sight of him.
"Three to the left. Four to the front, the rest of us will take the right." Jack commanded. Everyone was separated. Spot, Glider, and David took the left. Gwen, the unconscious Maggie, Counts, and Mush took the front leaving Jack, Race, Blink, and Skittery to go left.
"There he is!" Mush shouted. Bumlet's sped up as did the group. Gwen handed Maggie to Mush and tackled Bumlet's to the ground.
"Come quietly and you won't be killed." Gwen hissed, putting him in a hand and headlock. Gwen lifted Bumlets to him feet turning the other way around.
"Well, well, well..." they heard a voice. They all turned around to see Snyder standing on a platform...with Maggie in his arms, "I do think you should let him go--or kill him--it doesn't really matter to me."
Gwen, Spot, and Jack all stood in panic. Mush was laying on the ground with a wound in his right shoulder. Gwen raced over to her brother.
"What the hell did you do to him?"
Snyder motioned to Oscar, who was standing there with a bloody pocket knife in his hand. Snyder moved his hand up Maggie's thigh. This could not have angered Jack more. He ran as fast as his legs would carry him. He was blocked by a bunch of Queen's newsies.
He let out a strange snarl, "let her go you son of a bitch, or I'll castrate you!" He tried to get through the army of newsies holding him back.
Snyder just smiled. He knew he was winning. "See, Sarah, I told you that choosing Maggie would be a good move. He's completely hopeless without her." He lightly kissed the unconscious forehead.
Jack growled with anger.
"Sarah?" David was stunned. Sarah walked around a corner, holding her belly.
"Hello, brother." It didn't sound like Sarah. The voice that spoke was dark.
"Damn you bitch." Gwen gasped.
"I wouldn't say such a thing if I were you. I'm on the side that could easily kill your friend." Sarah smiled evilly.
"Let her go or-!" Jack started.
"You'll what? You could kill us but we'd kill this... thing." Oscar turned slightly toward Maggie a disgusted look on his face.
"I don't see why you like her so much. She's not worth anything, except for sex." Snyder licked Maggie's cheek in a very disturbing way.
This got all the Newsies battling against Snyder's army.
"I thought you were in love with Gwen." Race panted.
"I am but... she's not as important to me." Snyder shrugged, "I've won. And there's nothing you can do about it. I sent my spies to watch you for days. They reported back to me saying that Gwen decided to go with that horrid thing," Snyder nodded to Spot. Spot bared his teeth wolf-like.
There was a short pause before Snyder continued.
"Then dear Bumlets told me about Maggie and Jack."
"You dishonest bastard!" Spot struck Bumlets. Blood crawled down the side of his face blending with the sweat.
"It was like music to my ears. Hearing that dear old Jack and this tramp had a secret love! It wouldn't have lasted though."
"Why was it so important to you?" Gwen asked.
"I thought you knew. On that special, but ruined, night for me. I want Jack dead. Ever since the strike it's been my goal to get rid of him."
"You mean kill him." Gwen stated calmly.
"Yes."
"Then why did you kidnap Gwen?" Spot asked coldly.
"I wanted her to be mine but I'll get that soon enough." Snyder grinned.
"I'LL KILL YOU!" Spot began bashing in heads only to have been stopped and pinned down by some Queen Newsies along with everyone else.
"I would kill you but your not important to me... besides the fact you helped him." Snyder's face contorted into a mixture of anger and a vicious growl.
"What do you want?" Glider asked struggling against the Newsies and guards.
"I'll let Maggie go, if I get to kill Jack." Snyder grinned crookedly.
A spell of shock went through all of their bodies. Jack or Maggie? No one knew what to do. They all knew that in the end it would be Jack's choice. They all looked at Jack, who stared intently at Maggie. He had loved her ever since Spot had dragged in a little flesh-covered skeleton with blue eyes and black hair. He knew even before Snyder had ever talked about this what he would do--if it was a matter of his life or hers...he'd gladly take his away for hers. Jack slowly walked past the guards and made his way on the platform.
Then, in an almost impossibly quick motion, Oscar's knife was gone from his hand and at Snyder's throat. Maggie held the back of his coat and the knife.
"Maggie!" Gwen screamed.
"I heard every word. How DARE you play a trick like this!" Maggie looked at Jack," and how dare you for so carelessly taking his offer!"
"You know as well as I do that I would have done anything for you." Maggie's face paled, then she suddenly blushed.
"You idiot." Maggie smiled.
"This isn't over yet wench!" Snyder gasped.
"What do you guys think? Should I kill him?" Maggie asked evilly.
"KILL HIM!" The Newsies screamed.
It was like a dream. In one second he was gone. Blood was spurting out of his throat. Maggie let go of his body. It flopped to the floor like a rag-doll. The world froze. No one moved. Gwen walked up to the corpse an terrifying look on her face. She grabbed a sword from the closest person and stood by what was Snyder.
"Damn you forever. I hope Hell will be torture for you." She whispered so softly only Maggie heard those words. Gwen took the sword and beheaded Snyder. Gwen dropped the head and the sword and turned to Maggie. Both girls teared up and smiled. They ran to each other in a breath-taking hug.
The Newsies cheered and jeered at the remaining and retreating enemy.
"You scared me to death." Gwen hissed through her tears.
"I know I did."
Something grabbed Maggie around the waist and she let out a small yelp. She turned around and Jack cupped her face in his hands. The world went spinning by as he leaned in towards her and they kissed. Every Newsie who wasn't unconscious was looking over at them. Spot and Gwen followed suit and kissed. Mush seemed to be the only one who was disgusted. Gwen and Spot separated.
"I was searching for the love of my life but I seem to have instead found a princess." Spot whispered a smile upon his face.
"What do you mean?" Gwen puzzled.
"The dress." Spot grinned.
"What? I can wear a dress!" Gwen smiled but pushed Spot away, hands on her hips.
"Yes but... you look too good in a dress."
"You are such a liar and suck up." Gwen kissed him again. Spot picked her up around the waist and spun her around.
"God, can't anyone get a room around here?!" Mush snapped.
"No!" Gwen laughed.
Jack and Maggie's kiss ended.
"Why did you leave?" Maggie asked.
Jack sighed, "I thought that if I left... that you would be happier."
"How could you think that? I've loved you for so long... I nearly died because you left!"
"I know. I'm sorry... Why did you go out with Bumlet's?"
"I wanted to make you jealous." Maggie shrugged.
The couple stared laughing.
"We're idiot's." Maggie chuckled.
"I propose we get drunk and celebrate!" Blink shouted.
"I propose that Jack proposes before Maggie has the chance to get away again!" Itey called out. Everyone looked over at Jack, who smiled and got down on one knee. He grabbed Maggie's hand.
"Margaret Gweniviere Efram," Jack grinned insanely, "will you marry me?"
Before Jack could finish his sentence, Maggie had thrown her arms around him and cried, "YES! Yes," she kissed him, "I-" another kiss, "love-" another kiss, "you!" She started crying tears of true happiness. Blink brought out some alcoholic beverages to celebrate.

"That's is so sweet. It's like we have a fairy tale ending." Gwen sighed at the engaged couple.

"Yeah." Spot said strangely.

"What?"

"Nothing."

"Look if you feel pressured that you have to propose to me, you should know you don't have to."

"So understanding. So smart. So beautiful. But so short." Spot grinned in a jokingly manner.

"Oh, you're going down!" Gwen couldn't help but smile at the circumstance. Before she could do anything Spot had her in his arms.

"You can't do anything when I'm holding you." Spot whispered. Gwen leaned her head against his chest.

"You know... I'm almost kind of sad that we won so soon."

"So soon? You were trapped down there for at least five days!"

"It just seems like the world is at peace. No more adventures."

"Of course there will be adventures! Jack and Maggie are getting married! That's going to be more adventure than any of us can handle."

Gwen punched his chest lightly.

"Well, they have us to keep them from doing something stupid."

"Or for doing something stupid with." They laughed at the ever so true comment.
