AN: Hi, this fic (however written by me, belongs to the site: Which I wrote for Skittery week. .com/ which is an awesome newsies site; which is actually updated! omg!
Second of all; I own nothing; I do, however, take responsibility for the way the words were placed together...because that would be of my doing.
Well, if THAT wasn't the biggest over reaction in the history of over reactions, I don't know what is. I ask ONE measly, yet still important and valid, question and I get hit in the face by Racetrack (AND hit in the back of the head by Mush, but that's not his fault) but they sing an entire song in refection to my question. A song that, may I add, I did not even get a line in!
And I'm going to be honest, that is total crap. Spot, who doesn't even live in Manhattan, who just decided to show up for a fight scene so he and the other Brooklyn newsies can look tough, gets a line but I don't? The kid doesn't even dance! He just flips his hair and waves his hands! Even I danced for the sake of being a good sport. This should prove to everyone I am neither glum NOR dumb! But yeah…Spot gets to sing, and I don't. Not cool.
But whatever, you know, I can get over that! I can HANDLE that.
But what I can't handle is why they're making such a big deal of this Denton guy.
First of all, the guy is a total WEIRDO; and I'm pretty sure he's totally into David but everyone is acting like this guy can actually help us! He writes ONE article about us that gets us on the front page, ONE time, and we're acting like he's the second coming of God or something like that! I mean, when he gets bored he's just going to move on and not care about us anymore; just like every other adult I've ever met. And it's not like we know Denton is going to be any different, since we don't know anything about him!
He's just a reporter looking for the next big story and once he's exhausted the strike and nobody remembers the newsies anymore (and they won't; nobody remembers this MORNING'S news, let ALONE yesterday's) we're just going to be a bunch of starving guttersnipes without a penny to our names.
So yeah, I guess you could say I'm glum (Yes, I'm leaving out dumb) right now; but when all of this blows up in their faces they'll all have to know Skittery was right all along.
