[Saying Goodbye]

[disclaimer]- Ahh, seeing as this is the prologue and all, I own Mackenzie but Newsies belongs to Disney and 'Saying Goodbye" belongs to the best band ever Sugarcult. Thanks!

[Prologue]

Sitting gingerly in her bed Mackenzie closed here eyes and felt the warmth of the sun on her rosy cheeks. A smile crept its way across her face as she stretched her arms up to the heavens and let out a yawn, not bothering to cover her mouth as she did so.

She cracked her neck on either side, pulled off her covers and let her feet rest on the draftiness of the wooden floor beneath them. She looked down at her toes and wiggled them, counting them to make sure they were all there, and got to her feet. Slipping on her slippers and inching her way into her robe she sauntered her way across the room and came face to face with her mirror.

Her blond hair was inhumanly perfect for having just woken up and her blue eyes looked bluer then ever against the blue of her robe. She pulled her robe back to look at her body and moved from side to side, looking at herself long and hard. Her body was nearly flawless; her bones long and thin, but with curves in just the right places so that she didn't look sickly, but like a model. However she wasn't awkwardly tall, no taller then the boys she dated at least, and her feet were small and perfect. There was no prettier girl in all of New York, and she could promise you that.

The expression on her face turned from cheery to angry as her brow furrowed and her eyes narrowed.

"I hate you," she whispered to herself while staring down her own reflection and leaving the room with a trail of hatred lingering behind her.
