Where is home?

I do not own Newsies in any way.

This based on a fic I wrote. A girl, her brother, and her friend are sent back in time a year after the strike. Sophie and her brother Jack are descendants of Jack Kelly and her friend Annabelle is the descendant of Spot Conlon. In the fic, Annabelle goes back to the future and Sophie and Jack stay behind. This is my take on what would happen if Sophie and Jack went back.


Where is home? Sophie had asked herself this question in the days following her return to the future. She sat down at her desk and began to write:

They say home is where the heart is

But what if my heart lies with you?

Then where is home?

My home is a place of culture

Across a big long bridge

In a borough

My heart's home is the home of a newsie

The newsie king

In Brooklyn

Although they're all dead and gone

When I hear, "On the grounds on Brooklyn",

I'll think and smile

Where is home?

Is it where we live?

Is it where out heart lies?

Well my heart lies in Brooklyn

With Spot Conlon

The famous king of Brooklyn

Next time you're asked where is your home,

Think of this:

Where does your heart truly lie?


Sophie sighed and closed her notebook. She missed Spot, but she still had her brother Jack and her friend Annabelle. She layed on her bed and dreamed of blue eyes and red suspenders.
