《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.

Maker of Fire
On a world where magic kept civilization firmly in the bronze age, the Gods dropped an accountant and a mining engineer to start a political and industrial revolution. They wanted enlightened governance and a fast track to the iron age. They got indoor plumbing, paper airplanes, a cranky queen, and one very grumpy prophet. Dramatis Personae Aylem was a bookkeeping student when she died. The Gods reincarnated her as the greatest mage ever known, born into the ruling class of gigantic, magic-wielding humans. The Gods expect her to conquer the world and introduce double-entry accounting. Though Queen and numerical reformer, world conquest is stalled because everyone is scared of her and she doesn't like war. Emily was a retired engineer when she died. The Gods reincarnated her as one of the enslaved class of small, magicless humans. The Gods expect her to drag the world out of the bronze age. Though she's already recreated matches and wrought iron, introducing technology isn't going well because she was born a slave (oops) and having escaped, wants nothing to do with so-called "civilization." Asgotl was a whale when he died. The Gods reincarnated him as a griffin and expect him to have the same role he played in his previous life: to keep a reluctant prophet from walking off the job. If only they had remembered to tell him about it. Revised update schedule will be once a week on Saturdays, noonish Mountain Time (in North America)
