A/N: OK guys I just want to announce now that I'm not going to do shout
outs. Sorry but if you do review (which you should cause I LOVE reviews
with a burning passion) I might use you in my story.
Disclaimer: Don't own Newsies. Do own the idea which came to me at 4 in the morning while watching Newsies. Go me! I also own some of the Newsie names I am going to come up with.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------Chapter 1
I was so happy! I was finally out of the refuge. Thank god Cowboy and his boys went on strike, I would still be in there if they hadn't. We were riding down the street when I saw this big mob of people waving newspapers over their heads and cheering.
"Wow" I said softly.
Just then we stopped. A cop came over and opened the door and we all jumped out. Crutchy turned around.
"May I do the honors?" he asked one of the cops.
"Sure kid" he said.
He turned around.
"Remember Mr. Snyder, the first thing you gotta do when you get in jail. Make friends with the rats . . . share what you've got in common." And then he slammed the door and locked it.
After that I sortof faded out. I remember seeing Jack leave and we all started to sing and then some guy with curly hair apparently did something amazing. Then Cowboy came back and we all celebrated and danced. That's all I remember.
I walked back to the statue . . . my home sweet home. I used to sleep here. I climbed back up into his lap and fell asleep.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------Next Day
I woke up with Boots in my face. He used to be my selling partner a real long time ago.
"BOOTS!" I yelled, I couldn't find him yesterday.
"TEN PIN!" he yelled back while laughing. I waited to let him catch his breath to start talking.
"You ready to sell again with me Boots?" I asked
"Yeah . . ." he said
"BUT . . ." oh no I thought. This doesn't sound good.
"What Boots?" I asked
"Well since you weren't here me and Snipe have gotten pretty close. And then a new boy Les showed up and he doesn't wanna sell with Jack or his brother Davey anymore so we have got two new selling partners. Don't hurt me."
I sighed. Me and Boots were close but I wanted some new friends now that I was back . . . so I agreed.
"Don't worry about it." I said
Just then Snipe walked over with a new boy. He was short and had brown hair.
"Uhh Pin this is Les and Les this is Ten-Pin," Boots introduced us.
We walked over to the distribution center and bought our papes. We got held back because Les' brother Davey (who I know remembered from the day before and the refuge) had a huge stick up his ass about Les going off. Les sat there and listened to the lecture.
I was getting fed up with it. Davey needs to go away! So I walked over to Davey and whispered in his ear. He gave me a look of disgust and walked away.
"What did you say to him? I can NEVER get him to shut up." Les said. We all started cracking up. I tried to catch my breath to answer him.
"Ok guys I said 'I don't think he is going to run around hanging guys from roofs and giving Mush funny looks" they all stared at me in astonishment. I KNEW he was gay.
We walked around selling papes. Les was pretty decent and kept on grabbing our grubbiest papes and walking around.
"Buy me last pape mista?" he said while coughing. It was heartbreaking.
Finally we were done.
LATER
We had decided to go to Tibby's and blow our money.
We had started to eat and I noticed all the guys looking at me weird.
"Pin how did you get into the refuge and what was it like there?" Les asked. Boots and Snipe looked earnest too. I decided to tell them the story.

A/N- It will get better . . . bear with me. PLEASE REVIEW!
