Disclamer: I do not own Newsies. I would love to, though. And this is my first story, so... here it is!

Chapter One

The doorbell rang and Gigi pulled on her newsboy cap. She had been waiting for the sleep-over for the past week. She was finally getting her friends to watch Newsies. Ever since eighth grade, she had wanted her best friends to watch the movie. They had refussed every time she had tried for the past three years. She ran down the hallway to the front door to let Laura, Julian, Isabel, and Bianca in.

"Hey! Come in!" Said Gigi. She hugged each of her friends in turn. "I have everything set up. Thank you for saying you would watch the movie!"

"Yah! I watched it a little bit ago, so I know who I like!" Isa smiled good naturedly and flipped her hair. Isa had long-ish brown hair and preaty brown eyes. She was the nicest of the group and would never complain about Gigi talking too much about the movie.

"Oooohhh! Which one? It better not be Spot. He is mine, and no one can take him from me." Gigi said while they walked through to the living room.

"Nah, I like the one with curly hair and glasses. What's his name?"

"That is Specs. He's adorable. No wonder you like him." They all pulled out their sleeping bags and lay them down in the living room. Bianca rolled her eyes. She didn't like joining in the girl talk that we had. She liked her Green Day and Smiths and thought that talking about boys all night was stupid. Bianca had olivey skin and black hair that she kept short and dyed consistantly. This month's color was a camo mix of green and light brown. At 17 she was still short and people thought that she was 13 a lot. She usually kicked them. Laura on the other hand was tall with frizzy blonde hair and was as pale as a baby. She enjoyed talking about boys all night and got really weird at sleepoers.

As Gigi started to put Newsies into the DVD player, Laura and Julian got up and headed for the kitchen to get snacks. As the opening sequence rolled by and the lodging-house came into view Julian walked back in with chips and soda. Julian was African-American with a mass of puffy hair. She was short and dainty, due to her being a dancer. As Kloppman started to wake all the bys up, Laura walked back in to the living room and sat down. Gigi started to say the lines along with the movie.

"Skittery!" Kloppman slapped Skittery's feet. He shot upright.

"I didn't do it!"

As Jack rolled over and they saw his face Laura said"Ooohhh! He's kinda cute! What's his name?"

Gigi grinned and said "That is Jack Kelly. Now you have a newsboy crush! You might not like what comes later. He kinda gets a girlfriend." Laura scowled.

"No, he won't. Because I call dibs." Gigi beamed.

"Now you're getting it! Oh Bianca that's Racetrack."

"Why should I care?" Bianca replied.

"He's your height and acts a lot like you, so." Bianca looked affronted.

"I'm NOT boy crazy like the rest of you!" The girls exchanged looks. They all knew that Bianca had a tiny crush on a guy from school so they knew she was lying. Isa shreaked.
"Specs! Oh he is so cute and sassy!" Mush came onto the screen and Julian noticed.

"Yumm! Who is that Gigi?" Mush did his growl and manly chest thump.

Gigi replied "That's Mush. He thinks he is so manly that he doesn't need to wear his suspenders all the time. Now we all have Newsie crushes, except Bianca, so we can watch to see them." They contiued to watch with Gigi singing along to "Carrying The Banner" and then the Delanceys came on to the screen and Gigi booed.

"Boo! Delanceys! Go away!" Gigi scowled at the screen. In the screen Race Said

"Deah me! What is dat unpleasent aroma? I fea the sewer may have backed up during the night" Boots cut in saying.

"Nah, too rotten to be the sewers."

Crutchy said "Yeah! Must be da Delancey bruddahs!" They all laughed at that. Bianca looked impresssedat Racetrack's joke. Laura saw the look. She smiled.

"Bianca, now you have a newsie crush! Racetrack!" Gigi laughed in her crazy way, that included a lot of snorting.

"I knew it! Oh I wish that we were there, but after the strike."

Isabel agreed. Suddenly the house started to shake. The girls fell off the couch onto the floor. Isabel started to scream.

"What the ...?" The shakking intensified and all the girls blacked out.
