"Aaaahhh!" Race ducked and covered his head. As he tried to escape the pigeons' missiles of doom, however, he forgot about the rats. A giant one came straight at him and pounced, clawing at his face. "Raven! Run! Save yourself! Save the cows!" he cried. They were so close. They could stop all this if they only made it through the door.

"I ain't leaving you behind!" Raven cried, flipping and tumbling through the pigeon droppings dodging everyone to save him. "We've come too far!"
When she reached him she drop kicked an attacking rat and then offered Race her hand. "C'mon, let's get those cows in that door!"

Race grabbed her hand and pulled himself up, quickly giving her a giant hug before he got a very determined expression on his face and charged at the cattle, bellowing at them in Italian. They started charging through the door of the lodging house like their lives depended on it. Race ran close behind them, still clinging to Rae's hand.

As the cows stampeded up the stairs the whole lot of newsboys began to cheer "we're saved!" all in unison. The cows filled into the bunkroom and a barrier of milky protection shot out of their udders shielding them all from ultimate doom!

((I can't express my love for the exclamation point at the end of that post.))
Race laughed out loud and began spinning in circles, arms raised to the heavens in gratitude. He danced an Irish jig, then pulled Raven into a waltz, as the milky barrier swirled around them. Ershey was making out with Mush, Tag with Specs, Script with Goblin. Even the mayor's daughter was there to make out with Blink. Newsies were dancing with cows, and glittery confetti fell from the ceiling.
All of a sudden, the crowd parted, and Race spotted Sapphy. He bowed to Raven and ran toward his girl, arms outstretched. And then the whole scene began to blur...

"Race!" Raven blurted his name, trying so hard not to laugh. "Oh my God..." she was giggling uncontrollably. She reached down and shook his shoulder.
"Racetrack!"

"Huh? What? Sapphy?" He opened his eyes and saw Raven leaning over him. "Rae! What is it? Did the cows get away?"

"No and what the fuck are you talking about?" She crossed her arms over her belly and smirked at him. "You know you were mooing in your sleep right?"

I...what?" Race blinked as it slowly occurred to him that he'd been asleep. The apocalypse was not, in fact, nigh, and the cows were not going to save the world. But more importantly--"What are you doing here!?" he demanded, giving Rae a scandalized look, as he frantically tried to recall the previous night.

Raven burst out laughing. "You got drunk and passed out on our couch." She doubled over laughing. "Oh God! The look on your face just now!"

"Oh," Race said sheepishly, sitting up and looking around. He winced as the headache set in one cue. "Well, uh...it makes sense, then, that you're here...it being your apartment and all..." He flopped facedown onto the couch again. "I dreamed we saved the world with cows," he added in a muffled voice.

Raven sat down next to him and kept laughing. "You gotta tell me this dream...and you definitely need some coffee." She got up and headed into the kitchen to put the coffee on.
"So me and you saved the world huh?"

"And the cows!" he called after her. "We stole 'em from a farm on Staten Island and put 'em on the ferry..." He frowned. "Didn't we have a conversation like that back in Brooklyn once?"

Raven turned around immediately and her eyes widened. "The night we stole the Teddy Bear! We'd just met." She smiled huge and pointed at him. "Wow..."

"What? Drinking makes me think of old times!" He said defensively. "'Sides, it wasn't exactly the way we planned it. Like I said, the world was ending, it was like Cowmageddon. And they started jumping over the moon, and I played my harmonica, and you made 'em dance, and there was this island..."
