A troublemaking girl wants to get out of a boarding school and tries to become a Newsie. She has to dress up as a boy to do so, however. Will she be discovered? R&R, Peepz! Working on Chapter 4.

1. Prologue

Hi!! For those of you who don't know me, I'm Araknia the Storyspinner. This is my first ever Newsies Fanfic. I LOVE Newsies!!

This idea came to me in the shower, and I know it's not like Newsies at all. I put my own OC in, and the Newsies themselves don't come in for a while.

In the meantime, enjoy the Prologue. I'll explain the actual story in Chapter 1, including who Missy is.

Missy:
In 1899, the streets of New York echoed with the voices of Newsies.
Peddling the papers of Joseph Pulitzer,
William Randolph Hearst, and other giants of the newspaper world.
On every corner you heard them carrying the banner.
Bringing you the news for a penny a pape.
Poor orphans and runaways, the newsies were a ragged army, without a leader.
Until one day, all that changed.
