Disclaimer: I don't own Newsies, in case you were wondering.
Okay, hi everyone. This is my first fanfic, just to let you know. I'm sorry if there's any spelling mistakes, I ran this through spell check, but if it didn't catch anything, sorry. Anyway, I'll stop babbling, here it goes…

"New York," yelled a voice as the train halted to a stop. Riley grabbed her bag and jumped out of the cart she stowed away in. She had finally found her way back to the city. She walked the distantly familiar streets looking at how it has changed since she had last been there. Five years, she thought to her self, five years is a long time ta be away from home. Da city dat neva sleeps, da town of opportunities. Yeah, she scoffed to herself, opportunities fer boys. She looked down at her clothes. She was wearing a loose white shirt and tan striped vest that concealed her figure, not that she had much of one, and baggy brown pants that covered her thin legs. "I could pass for a boy," she thought out loud. She quickly received her Swiss army knife from her bag, untied her long braid from here head, and cut her hair just above her ears. There! She thought, now I look like a boy!
Riley continued to rome the streets as she ventured closer to Central Park. She found a large tree just beyond the entrance of the park and looked at it. Riley had been on the run for about a year now and found a liking for trees. They provided a safe place to sleep without getting caught. Riley scaled the tree and tied her bag to a branch. I havta find myself a place to stay soon, or at least a job she thought.

Comments? Constructive criticism? Please review! I know I haven't including the Newsies yet, but I will, soon, I promise!! Also, sorry it's so short, it wasn't meant to be a chapter, but I couldn't really break it down any other way.
