"We have a request from Fetch_cornnut!"

Two thuds were heard from Davey and Jack as they simultaneously slammed their heads on the coffee table.

"Love the enthusiasm! Now let's roll the fanart!" 

Skye turned on the tv and the fanart flashed on screen.

"Ewww, don't kiss in front of us! Do that in private!"

"Les, no." Davey said while blushing.

The fanart rolled on screen, causing Jack and Davey to deeply blush and look away.

"Yes, you guys kissed!"

"Katherine, don't support this! I mean, the representation is great, but you're supposed to be on my side." Jack groaned.

"This is from the movie, but only because I was struggling to find more art." Skye explained.

"We all knew that Davey was the top in the relationship."

"Albert, what the fuck?"

"Oooh, Davey!" Jack said, a mock look of disgust on his face.

"Alright, now let's roll the Jackerine fanart!"

Jack turned and gave Katherine a kiss on the head.

"I know I said you could kiss Davey, but if you break up with me to date him, I will deck you." Katherine mumbled.

There was a girly squeal that rang across the room. "They're so cute!"

"Romeo, shut up!" Spot said, covering his ears

"What do you mean this isn't how the scene went?" Skye questioned.

"Why am I dressed so scandalous, Skye?"

"What do you mean?"

"I'm showing my knees!"

Skye laughed a bit. "That's just how fashion is now! It's common to wear clothing that shows your ankles or even the top of your thighs."

Katherine looked at her flabbergasped. "But it's just so. . . Unproper."

"Anyway, we have another request from gerdabbg!"

"Before we watch it, I want to explain the context. So basically a woman named Eliza is cheated on by her husband and she's burning the letters he wrote her." Skye explained.

"She doesn't let her husband do whatever. Respect." Smalls said.

"Yeah, she's awesome. Now let's roll the lyrics!"

Skye clicked a remote in her hand and lyrics popped up on the screen.

[Singing]
Eliza: I saved every letter you wrote me. From the moment I saw you, I knew you were mine. You said you were mine. I thought you were mine.

Katherine nodded. "I know how she feels."

"Ace, I said I was sorry! That techinically wasn't me!"

"I know, Jack, but I still feel sad."

[Singing]
Do you know what Angelica said when I told her what you'd done?

"Angelica?"

"She's Eliza's sister, Tommy Boy." Skye explained.

[Singing]
Eliza: She said "You have married an Icarus. He has flown too close to the sun."

"Nice allusion." Katherine commented.

[Singing]
Eliza: Don't take another step in my direction.

"Oh, yes! You go, Eliza!" Smalls cheered.

[Singing]
Eliza: Don't think you can talk your way into my arms, into my arms.

"I'm not her husband, but I feel scared right now." Henry said.

The boys around him nodded.

[Singing]
Eliza: I'm burning the letters you wrote me. You can stand over there if you want. I don't know who you are.

"Wait a minute, who are you?" Albert said.

[Singing]
Eliza: I have so much to learn. I'm re-reading your letters. . .

"Jared, can you read number 17 for the class please?" Skye quoted.

"No I cannot. What up, my name is Jared, I'm 19, and I never fucking learned how to read." Albert said, finishing the quote.

[Singing]
Eliza: And watching them burn (Burn)

"Harmonies!" Katherine said excitedly.

[Singing]
Eliza: I'm watching them burn (Burn)

"Yes, you do you, queen!" Smalls said, snapping her fingers in a Z formation.

The Newsies stared at her confused.

Smalls stared back at them. "What? Skye taught me modern lingo."

[Singing]
Eliza: You published the letters she wrote you.

"He doesn't deserve you. If he doesn't treat you right by now, you're gone."

"I'm gone." Skye added.

"Now go chop his dick off."

Spot threw a pillow towards Albert and Skye.

[Singing]
Eliza: You told the whole world how you brought this girl into our bed. In clearing your name, you have ruined our lives.

"Dump his ass."

"Elmer, why are you-"

"Dump. His. Ass." Elmer continued, interrupting Finch.

[Singing]
Eliza: Heaven forbid some whisper, "He's part of some scheme." Your enemy whispers, so you have to scream. I know about whispers. I see how you look at my sister.

"I've only had Eliza for a day and a half, but if anything happens to her, I'll kill everyone in this room and myself."

"Wait, that's illegal." Albert said, staring at Jojo.

[Singing]
Eliza: Don't! I'm naive, I have seen women around you.

"He's reliable with the ladies!"

The Newsies stared at Skye.

"I'm sorry."

[Singing]
Eliza: Don't think I don't see how they fall for your charms, all your charms.

"I love how that line is sang!" Skye squealed.

[Singing]
Eliza: I'm erasing myself from the narrative.

"Good for her."

"Good for you! Good for you, you, you!" Skye sang, adding to Button's statement."

[Singing]
Eliza: Let future historians wonder how Eliza reacted when you broke her heart.

"She did the right thing because we all know, when there's too much drama at school, all you have to do-"

"Is walk awayayayayay." Skye interjected, adding to Albert's quote.

[Singing]
Eliza: You have thrown it all away.

"She really said 'fuck this shit, I'm out.'"

Spot send a death glare at Albert and Skye silently handed him a gold-tipped pimp cane.

[Singing]
Eliza: Stand back, watch burn. Just watch it all burn!

"Their voices are amazing!" Katherine gasped.

[Singing]
Eliza: And when the time comes, explain to the children the pain and embarrassment you put their mother through.

"Phillip and Angie could diss Alexander and I would cheer them on." Skye commented.

[Singing]
Eliza: When will you learn. . .

"No running in the halls, detention for you. When will you learn?" Skye quoted in a monotone voice.

[Singing]
Eliza: That they are you legacy? We are your legacy. If you thought you were mine (mine, mine), don't.

(The song ends on that final note)

"Well, what did you think, guys?"

"Hang on, so Eliza's husband cheats on her and then tries to defend his actions by revealing it to the world?" Crutchie asked. "Because that doesn't make sense."

"Yep, Eliza deserves better." Skye agreed

"I, for one, really liked the song. Katherine said

"I loved it! Eliza is a strong, independent woman who doesn't need a man!" Smalls said.

"I might've enjoyed it if these idiots stopped talking." Spot grumbled, glaring at Albert and Skye.

"Okay, let's end this chapter now so we can run away from Spot. I'll see you all later, bye!"
