Author's Note: This was written for the Newsies Pape Selling Competition on the forums under Plays so come join the fun! Anyway, my Newsies are off to Disney World. I used the prompt pencil and fried food. I'll be sure to add the word count when I am finished but for now it's 587 for the Intro and 604 for Chapter 1. I rarely write for many of these characters so please excuse any missteps or ideas that don't mesh with your headcanon. Cheers!

David tapped the pencil against his glass of water and sent a pleading look across the table to where Jack sat in conversation with Mush.

The tapping increased. "Guys, c'mon! This is important!"

Recognizing the desperation in David's voice Jack held his hand up and waited until the various conversations ended. He smiled at David and gestured for him to start talking.

David ran a hand through his hair and frowned down at the notepad in front of him. "OK, um, I need to let you guys know what group you're in charge of and the schedule and stuff-"

"A schedule? Way to suck the fun out of everything, Davey."

"I don't care as long as I don't get stuck with the toddler brigade."

"Shut up, I'm trying to listen!"

"You shut up!"

"Happiest place on Earth, my ass."

David glanced back at the kids table to ensure they weren't listening before gritting his teeth and facing the group of teenagers in front of him. "Look, I'm the one handing out credit for this so knock it off or I'm not signing anyone's form. So, like I told the kids, I arranged each group by color and age. I'm not changing it, so no complaints. Each group will start in one area of the park and then we'll meet for dinner at…" David paused and swallowed hard before continuing, "…the Be Our Guest restaurant."

"Oh my god! I love Beauty and the Beast!"

"You would."

"Be our guest, be our guest, put our service…"

"Oh jeezus, don't start him singing."

"Whichever group Mush is in, I don't want any part of."

"I told you, I'm not taking toddlers. Or anyone who sings Disney medleys in the shower."

"You know the word 'medley'! Ha!"

"Guys!" David interrupted. "Can we just get through this?"

Jack reached across the table and grabbed the notepad out of David's hand. He perused the list of names and arched his eyebrow as he saw the assignments.

"All right, fellas," Jack started. "Blink and Mush are taking the green group in Frontierland, Skittery and Specs got the blue group starting in Adventureland. Me and Davey are with the orange group starting in Tomorrowland. So that leaves…"

Jack stopped and glanced from the paper to David's face and back again. David just shook his head.

"Ahem," Jack cleared his throat and was clearly trying not to grin. "That leaves Race and Spot with the yellow group in Fantasyland."

"What? What the fu-"

"Spot!"

"-did he just say? Fantasyland?"

"You heard the man." Specs leaned over and did his best Genie impression. "No substitutions, exchanges, or refunds."

"Pipe down," Jack told him. "It makes sense to have the smallest guys with the smallest kids."

"First, I'm gonna kill Mouth. You're next, Kelly."

"Happiest place on Earth, remember?" Jack smiled easily as he handed the paper back to David.
