Summary: A second-person story, in which you are Kathryn Paris, or Katie for short, and you're the only child of one of the richest men in New York. While visiting the newsies one day, a mystery begins to unfold. What that mystery is will depend your choices, as will which newsie you fall in love with at the end of the story.
Author's Note: I'd like to Snicker-of-Manhattan for all her help on this story. So, thanks. I couldn't have done it without you. Well, I suppose I could have, but it wouldn't have been as good. This is my first attempt at a second-person, "choose your own adventure" story, so please R&R for me. I'm going to try and keep the chapters relatively short, but if you want longer ones, let me know. The more reviews I get, the more likely I am to write more chapters. Thanks!!!
I'd also like to point out, that if you don't choose a mystery to investigate quickly, you'll find yourself going in circles. I promise there'll be more time with the boys later!
Disclaimer: Disney owns all things Newsies, I'm just borrowing them. I'll return everything back to the sandbox when I'm done, I promise. Also, Paramount owns Katie, too. "Kathryn" Janeway and Tom "Paris" belong to them.

You're so happy, you feel like you could skip down the sidewalk. Instead, you have your skirts bunched up as you hurry down the sidewalk, a smile plastered on your face and your long hair streaming behind you. You're so glad you're Mom let you "go to your friends house" this afternoon. You hated having to lie to your own Mother, but there was no other way she'd let you go see the newsies.
As you reach the corner, you slow down and release your skirt. You brush your auburn hair out of your face, and calm yourself. You have to look your best for the boys. You turn the corner and smile, expecting the boys to greet you the same. Instead, solemn faces greet you. Your smile disappears, replaced by a look of confusion. Seeking answers, you look for some newsies to talk to. You notice Racetrack reading a paper with a cigar in his mouth, and assume he'd probably know what was wrong with everyone. You also see Kid Blink sitting alone with his papes, and you can't help but notice how lonely he looks.
If you decide to talk to Racetrack, go to Chapter 2.
If you decide to talk to Kid Blink, go to Chapter 3.
