Slam. The door shut tight behind the girl as she stormed out of her house. Brushing her long blondish brown curls out of her face as she stomped in the direction of the nearby trees, she scowled angrily and held the small brown and white rabbit tightly in her arms.
"Why today?," she cried to the chirping bluebirds in the nearby oak trees, "Why did Kathryn have to have her dance recital today? Today of all days, no less!" She flung herself down onto the grass, ignoring the grass stains on her jeans, as she held onto the rabbit's leash. She sat in silence for a moment, picking up a blade or two of grass at a time, then flinging them down carelessly. "Why couldn't it wait until after my Newsies Rally?" The girl, nicknamed Stress to those in the Newsieverse, had been looking forward to the Rally all summer long. Up until this morning that is; that's when her mother informed her that Kat's dance recital came first. "Why did they change the day, now? Lancie, do you know?" Stress picked up her bunny and looked him in the eyes.
The only answer to her questions was the incessant tweets from the birds.
Stress sighed and placed Lancie back down, where he went back to eating the grass. Stress stroked his ears a few times before she laid down on her back, her yellow-green eyes focusing on the shapes of the above clouds. But her mind was not on the clouds; instead she was thinking about the Newsies Rally that would be happening in New York City in a few hours time. And how she was going to miss it due to her younger sister's dance recital.
Stress shook her head and propped herself on her elbows, setting her gaze upon the clearing in the woods. In her backyard there was a line of trees, but once you got out of the mini-woods there was a large field. Usually there were other kids in the neighborhood at play, especially since it was summertime, but today there was no one outside but her. "I guess everyone else is feeling miserable too." she huffed, not tearing her eyes from the peaceful scene.
How long she sat there staring at the field, she didn't know. Nothing broke her concentration as she tuned out everything around her. Then it happened.
Something was hopping across the field in front of her, but too far away for her to distinguish who -or what- it was. Checking to make sure that Lancie's leash was secured tightly to his collar, Stress tied the other end of the leash to a nearby tree. When she was positive that Lancie wouldn't run away or be bunny-napped, she headed out to the clearing to see who it was that was hopping in her backyard.
When she got close enough to see who it was, Stress' stopped and her mouth dropped open. It was a boy, a boy with curly brown hair, who was dressed in turn of the century newsboy garb, carrying a gold pocket watch. But that's not what made Stress stop and stare. It was the fact that the boy was a dead-ringer for David Jacobs!
"Hey, dude, wait up!" she called, rushing forward.
Davey ignored her calls, instead opening the lid to his gold pocket watch and shrieking out loud, "It's gettin' late!", before hopping away.
Stress stopped for a moment, laughing to herself at Davey's hopping, before following him. "Shoot!" she cursed when she no longer some him in the clearing. Still walking on the same path that Davey had just hopped down, she mumbled to herself. "Now I'll never know if that was Davey or not. But why would he be here? He's just a character from a movie, right? I mean, there are no such things as newsies in the year 2002, riiiiiiiiii---"
The rest of her questions to herself were cut off when she stumbled down a large hole - a hole that had never been there before!
