Disclaimer: I don't own Newsies. Although I wish I did 'cause then they'd be all MINE!!!! Muah Ha Ha! Oh well Disney owns them so don't sue me aye?

And down the home stretch here comes Lady Luck.. It's neck and neck. And the winner by a nose is Lady Luck.

Racetrack stood up and cheered. He hadn't won a race in days, considering his self-esteem had dropped considerably when his sister, Sweets came home.

May 3, 1899

"Heya Race how's it rollin'?"

Racetrack Higgins turned around and saw Spot Conlon and Jack Kelly, his two stepbrothers walking over to him.

"Heya fellas', not much is goin' on. I won today, finally!" Racetrack replied with a smirk.

The three brothers walked together back to the Manhattan Newsboys Lodging House. They walked into the Lodging House surprised to find it empty, considering it was almost lights out. The three of them walked up into the bunkroom and saw that the only Newsies that were there were Kid Blink and Mush, the three brothers Best friends.

Spot used to be a mean bastard. Now he was a lot more calm and relaxed, almost too relaxed. Like Race, Spot's mood had changed from mean to nice and just went all the way to, you better leave me the hell alone before I soak ya kind of attitude, all because of Sweets.

It wasn't really Sweets fault that she had such a bad attitude. She and Spot had grown up together in the same household; until she was seven and she went with their father (jack race spot and Sweets) to live with Jack, Racetrack and their mom. (Race's and Sweets) That's why she had such a bad attitude, same as Spot's. They were all connected from their father.

They all used to fight with each other. Well, Spot, Jack, and Race, would gang up on Sweets and make fun of her for being a girl. She would yell right back at them for being good for nothing boys. Their father usually heard this and Sweets would get beaten.

As they got older, the boys comforted Sweets instead of poking fun at her. They new she was beaten on a nightly basis, and frankly they were getting sick of their father beating on Sweets. Sweets, rather at the time Sarah was only 10 and her father had killed her mother and she and her brothers knew she was next.
