Chapter One: Staring Contests

Jack Kelly and Spot Conlon stood staring at each other. Both intensely sweating sweat beads of sweat. As the boys growled ferociously at each other something interrupted their staring contest. That something happened to be Spots younger sister, who they call Tripp, flying through the air.

As the two year olds broke eye contact long enough to see her, they tried to run and scream but it was too late, Tripp was on top of both of them before they could say "pirates."

"aklfkldhlk…" muttered Spot from beneath Tripp's chubby one year old body.

"Whaa?" Tripp asked still laying on top of the two boys "Did you say something Spotty?"

"I think he said 'Relish makes a nice topping' but then, I could be wrong" said Jack whose head was visible from beneath the girl.

Tripp gurgled and finally stood up and released Jack and Spot from her smelly death grip.

Spot gasped for fresh air and looked up to see Racetrack and Kid Blink sitting on the small stone wall of the nursery. Both of the boys had tears in their eyes from laughing so hard. But it was easy to see that the little Italian thought it was the funniest thing ever by the way he was bouncing up and down, which is something that he does when he is happy. But before anyone knew it Racetrack had fallen of off the wall.

It was silent for a second but then Kid Blink, who had two eyes then, burst out in a fit of loud giggles at the sight of Racetrack writhing around on the ground trying to stand up. He had fallen on his back and the fat rolls on his stomach were restricting him from standing up.

Then suddenly Kid Blink also fell off the wall. This resulted in an uproar of laughter from the rest of the newsies watching the pair, except of course Mush, who was catching butterflies.

Over the newsies laughter the diner bell could be heard, this was very exciting for the newsies because it Monday.

And Monday meant tater tots.

Authors Note:

Okaey Dokey, soo this is a new story of mine and I am going to introduce a few new characters beside the newsboys we all know and love. The first one I introduced in this chapter is Tripp, and I have her summary right here:

Tripp: Spot's sister. One year old and very smelly. Is extremely klutzy and will trip and fall on anything or anyone hence her newsie name. Has the "attention span of a squirrel" says Spot.

That's it! Review and tell me what you think!
