[A.N. This is not to be taken seriously, this is just what comes out of my brain when I have to put up with annoying roommates and stress about classes.]
Disclaimer: I do not own the Newsies. Though one year I did wish for them for my birthday.
Once upon a time there were two sisters, Velma and Veronica (their parents had been avid "Chicago" fans). Even though there was only one year difference between the two, Velma being the older, they had very little in common. They had different styles, tastes in music, friends, and dispositions. Velma was extremely book-smart, yet was very lacking in the common-sense area. Veronica had average grades, but was a little faster on the uptake. Veronica could sing; Velma could not. Velma took ballet; Veronica couldn't take 10 steps without tripping over something. The only thing that they had in common was their love of movies: any movie, really.
Anyway, one hot summer night a magical fairy or gnome or something snuck into their house and put an enchantment over their remote control, leaving a note for the girls to find:
"Merry Christmas, use it wisely.
With great power comes great responsibility.
Best of luck to you both,
Sprinkles"
As Velma and Veronica ate their breakfasts, on the couch since their parents felt that they needed a "second honeymoon" and were normally forced to eat at the table, Veronica's eyes wandered over to the TV stand and saw the note.
"Ha, seyioufly?" Veronica laughed mouth full of Lucky Charms.
"What?" Velma asked.
"Mom put a 'Spiderman' quote on the remote. And apparently thinks it's December."
"Lemme see." Velma grabbed the remote from Veronica's hands. "What the hell? 'Use it wisely' what does that mean? Are the batteries dying? I think all of the double-As are gone."
"Whatever, let's put in a DVD. What do you want to watch?" Veronica asked, jumping up from her position on the couch, immediately tripping over the coffee table. "Ow, bastard table!" She grumbled at the inanimate object, as she frequently did.
"I don't care, surprise me." Veronica grabbed a "Newsies" from one of the numerous DVD towers along the wall and put the disc into the DVD player. Velma pushed PLAY on the remote, the FBI warning soon showing on the screen.
"I don't get it," Veronica stated, pointing to the TV, "does the FBI just bust into random people's houses looking for pirated movies, or do they just catch terrorists and drug dealers with copyright infringement?" Velma stared at her sister for a moment.
"You're an idiot, you know that?" Velma looked back at the remote in her hand. "Whoa, 'INSERT,' I've seriously never seen this button before. And why is it glittery?" Velma pushed this seemingly ordinary button and suddenly both of the girls' worlds went black…
