Spring's POV
Chapter 1: Getting there and Meeting him
"Where are we?" I asked Daze as we stood up from the cobblestone street. A brown skirt and white blouse had replaced my sweatpants and t-shirt. Boots were on my feet as I looked at Daze. Her outfit looked like a newsboy. A black hat sat on the top of her brown locks.
"I don't know. But all I know is that I look hot." Daze looked down at her outfit.
"You're not to bad yourself, Spring." Daze smiled at me. I looked around us and suddenly knew where we were.
"Daze, we're in Newsies." I said recognizing the set I had watched so many times.
"What?! So that means that Kid Blink is here. Being eye patched and single and hot!" Daze screamed with a smile. I looked around us. We were near the World distribution office. We must have been in the beginning of the movie. "Hey. Doesn't that mean that Jack Kelly is here too? Spring, you could get with Jack." Daze smiled as we walked around.
"No. He has to end up with Sarah. It would mess up the ending." I said with a sigh. We had been watching Newsies when a flash of light entered the room and we were transported into it. I wish I could have known I was going to be thrown into one of my favorite movies. I would have prepared myself. "Daze, no matter what you do. Don't mess up the movie. It may screw up everything. So we need to stay out of the Manhattan newsies way." I said placing my hand on her shoulder. Daze didn't listen a lot. She was often in a daze.
"Sure sure. I will keep my lips off that beautiful man candy of Kid Blink." She said winking at me. Then I heard the music coming from no where. It was Carrying the Banner. "He's going to be near me. Dancing and singing no less." Daze smiled. I was excited too. Jack Kelly was going to be feet away from me.
"Remember. Stay out of their way." I said pointing at her. I turned quick and felt someone collide with me. I fell to the hard street looking up. I saw it was Jack"Cowboy" Kelly.
"Hey. Youse okay?" He asked me as he helped me up. I nodded and smiled. "Whatca name?"
"Spring. This is my friend Daze." I pointed to Daze as she stared at Blink. "We are new in town." I said to Jack. I noticed that he wasn't dancing with the rest of the boys. "Shouldn't you join your friends?" I asked him as I pointed at them. He turned his head as he looked at the others. He nodded and ran off.
"Stay out of their way. Right, Spring right." Daze said. I knew she wanted to talk to Kid Blink. I had gotten to talk to Jack.
"Go after the song is over and when they start selling." I said to her. She nodded to me and ran off to join them. I would but I was still in shock that I had just talked to Jack Kelly. My hero, my gorgeous god, the boy of my dreams. The one who made me cry when he kissed Sarah. I walked over to the gates that weren't opened yet. This was one of my favorite parts. Watching Jack beat up the Delancey brothers. I walked over to Daze who was basking in the glory of Kid Blink. She had a smile on that went from ear to ear. I could hear the lines I knew so well going on.
"Dear me! What is that unpleasant aroma? I fear the sewer may have backed up during the night." Racetrack said with a smirk.
"Nah, too rotten to be the sewers." Boots replied.
"It must be the Delancey brudders." Aww Crutchy. He was so cute. I always felt bad when he was taken to the refugee.
"Hiya boys!"
"In the back, you lousy little shrimp." Oscar Delancey really was as ugly as Jack said.
"It's not good to do that. Not healthy."
"You shouldn't call people lously little shrimps, Oscar, unless
you're refering to the family resemblance in your brudda here." Jack said protecting his friends. That was one thing I truly loved about him. He always protected his friends.
"5-1 that Cowboys skunks 'em. Who's betting?" Everyone mumbled. I started to laugh. Some of the boys looked at me. I blushed and turned my face away from them.
"That's right. It's an insult. So's this." Jack smiled and began the chase. It was weird being in a musical. Watching everyone around you sing. Daze grabbed my hand and ran me over to the statue. She knew this was when Jack would run into David. I tried to stop her but once Daze had a plan she wouldn't stop. She placed me in Jack's way. David looked at me confused and a little angry. Jack ran into me. "This is the second time I've run into ya. Maybe it's my lucky day." Jack said with a smile.
"Well maybe I'm your lucky charm." I smiled back at him. He winked at me then continued to run. Daze grabbed me by the arms.
"Told you so. He has the hots for you. And that whole 'maybe I'm your lucky charm thing.' Super hot. He will throw Sarah down the fire escape to get you. Now I'm off to catch Kid Blink's eye." She smiled at me.
"Wait do you have money for papers?" I asked her. I had found two quarters in my pocket.
"Yes. I have two bits." She said as she ran off to join the other newsies in line.
I ran after her. I got in line because if I was going to be for a while I was going to make some money. A girl has to eat, right. The line moved and David didn't have enough papers. I was still awestruck by Jack. Jack looked at me and smiled.
"Who ya sellin' with Spring?" Jack asked me. I noticed David waiting for Jack to say his lines. Even Weasel was waiting.
"Umm, no one. Daze wants to go off on her own." I said as David stared at me.
"Good. Cause I want ya to sell with me." Jack looked at me then David remembering his lines. He jumped up and counted the papers. "No, it's nineteen. It's nineteen, but don't worry about it. It's an honest mistake. I mean, Morris here can't count to twenty with his shoes on. Hey Race, will ya spot me 2 bits? Another 50 for my friend." Jack brought David more papers.
The two of them continued to talk as I made my way up to the window. I noticed Daze talking to some of the lesser known newsies. Trying to find a way to talk to Blink.
Mr. Weasel was scary. He was staring at me. I didn't really know what to say so I just stood there.
"Well, how many papes?" He growled at me. Jack saw what was going down and ran to me. I handed him the two bits in my hand.
"50 for Spring here. She's new to the city." Jack said to Weasel. Weasel groaned as Morris handed me 50 papers. Jack smiled and led me down the steps. Soon enough the selling began and I prayed that Daze was having as good as time as I was.
So I am going to keep updating this story and hope you all enjoy it. I don't own Newsies sadly. Next update shall be Daze trying to catch Kid Blink's eye. Don't forget to review and follow along because the fun is just beginning. -Sarah
