Jujube's Surprise

The town of BG

could not believe their eyes

Were they under attack?

Or were they allies?

The Mayor came running

When he heard the report

About a war party

He needed to thwart

Injuns are attacking BG?

This couldn't be?

And then he saw them

Being led by Jujube.

"Jujube what is the meaning

Of all of this!"

"No worries, Mayor.

Nothing is amiss.

These people here

are Kit-Kats you see

They've come to be with

Their Chief and Ruechari."

O'Boyle was busy setting up shop

When suddenly everything

Came to a stop.

"Uh Boss, I think there's

Something you ought to see."

Ronan's look of concern

Made her wonder what

it could possibly be?

Rue came to the window

Of the hotel.

The sight caused her

Her heart to swell.

There in the town

Were her people.

She took off running

O'Boyle close on her heels

Tears streamed down her face

As she let out squeals.

The group of Kit-Kats

Looked up to see

An emotionally overwhelmed

Ruechari.

They accepted her right

Into their fold.

Ronan tried to push through

Not caring 'bout being bold.

A hand on his shoulder

And he was told.

"It's alright, O'Boyle."

And he stopped cold.

Jujube smiled.

"It took me awhile

there are more to come

But of what I could find

of the Kit-Kat tribe

this is everyone."

Mayor Order pondered what to do

And yelled out,

"Rue! I need to talk to you!"

But she was in lock down

Buried in deep.

Welcoming back

Every lost sheep.

Mayor Order rubbed

The back of his neck.

"What is to be done

with them all?"

"We've got them in check."

Mayor Order looked at Ronan

With complete disbelief.

"Mayor you forget,

Rue is their Shaman

And here is their Chief."

Chief ThingaMaJig and Whatshisface

Joined the crowd.

He spoke to them in Kit-Kat

Making an announcement out loud.

They all followed him

Down the road they went

What better place for them to set up

Than a city full of tents?

Left standing alone was Ruechari

And she ran over and hugged Jujube.

He picked her up and swung her around

Before letting her feet touch the ground.

"However did you manage?!

How did you find?!"

"Excuse me, Rue?

But we need to talk,

If you don't mind?"

Jujube gave her hand a squeeze

"Of course, Mayor."

"This way, if you please."

Mayor Order led her away.

From prying ears

Who'd try to hear

What he may have to say.

"Rue this town is already

busting it's seams

I know for you this

Must feel like a dream.

But that many people

Well what can I say,

I don't think in BG

They can stay."

"Don't worry Mayor

My tribe is Nomadic

Most will wander

So it won't be problematic

Those that stay

will work with me

The hotel in understaffed

How can you not see,

The grand opportunity?

We can fix relations

Between my people

And the town

They'll see there's no need to panic

And calm down.

Please Mayor won't you agree?

To have them here

Is so important to me.

After my Grandfather died

I had lost my tribe.

They are still scattered

But some have come home.

Please Mayor in BG county

let them roam?"

Lorne looked down at Ruechari

Such hope, and pain shown on her face.

He couldn't imagine

all that she's faced.

"Okay Rue. It's fine with me,

But I'll still need the council to agree

that they can call home BG county."

Rue threw her arms around him

To his surprise.

He quickly pulled her away.

As he took note of spying eyes.

"Ahem, yes I'll see what they say

Hopefully I'll make the announcement today.

That its been decided the Kit-Kats can stay."

Ruechari ran over to Jujube and Ronan

Excited to tell.

"Great news our staffing problems are over

at the hotel.

The mayor did say,

That the Kit-Kats are welcome to stay!"

"Wow that's great news!"

Ronan leaned in

Giving Rue an awkward hug.

Ruechari giggled.

He pulled back and on his vest

he gave a tug.

"Well, I best get back to work."

"Okay, I'll be there soon.

First, I owe this man a drink

at the Saloon."

"Of course, Boss."

He looked like he may

Have something more to say.

But then walked away.

"Come on, Jujube!

This one's on me!"
