Chapter 1

Christine took a long sip of her hot chocolate. She lived in a dorm at her boarding school. She was only sixteen but lived alone in the room that was more like an apartment. She signed on to her Yahoo messenger. She saw her best friend Elizabeth, who lived alone in the dorm down the road, was on too so she opened the chat box.

Christine: Hey, you there?

Elizabeth: Yep

Christine: What are you doing?

Elizabeth: Being amazed, I HAVE NEWSIES IN MY HOUSE!!

Christine stared at the last message for a moment.

Christine: You mean you got another copy of the movie?

Elizabeth: No! I mean, Jack, Racetrack, Bumlets, Mush, and Blink are at my house! Spot and Dutchy were here to but now they're on they're way to your house! (Have no fear my friend Jaclyn is bringing them, they are not alone)

Christine blinked, she was sure her long time BFFE (Best friend for eternity) had lost what little of her mind was left.

Christine: *Flabbergasted* I need proof, can you like take a picture of you and the newsies and send it to me?

Elizabeth: *sighing in sadness* If I must to get you to believe me. BRB

Christine waited, taking a few more sips of her hot chocolate. She pulled her short, brown hair back into a small pony tail. She was skimming through a reading assignment when the pop that signaled that she had an IM made her look up.

Elizabeth: Sorry it took so long I had to spend ten minutes trying to get them all to hold still. Any way, here you go.

The words "Elizabeth has sent you a picture would you like to download it?" appeared across her screen.

Christine clicked the download button. Once the file was downloaded to her desk top she opened it, and there before her chocolate brown eyes were the five newsies standing in Elizabeth's living room, her in the center.

Christine: Okay, I believe you. So Spot and Dutchy are really going to come live with me?

Elizabeth: Yep! Be excited…wait Jack stop!...*fight for the computer commences, Jack wins* Heya, Jack here. I hope you have fun with Spot. Oh he loves these pop things. Do you like those…*another fight of the computer, Elizabeth wins* Sorry bout that, Spot should be there soon, I have to go Racetrack and Mush found the cookie dough.

Christine: ha-ha bye.

Just then there was a knock on the door Christine jumped up, she ran out of her room and into the living room where you could see the door without being seen. She nearly squealed when she saw Spot and Dutchy were standing there.

She ran and opened the door and said, "Hi, come in." Dutchy ran into the house while Spot stood in foyer of the house looking at everything. Christine closed the door and said, "Make yourself at home. You will be staying here after all."

There was a crash that sounded like it came from the kitchen, "I'll be back." Christine said running to the kitchen leaving Spot.

"Dutchy, why did you knock the pop tarts off the shelf?" Spot looked up at this and took off in the direction Christine had gone.

Christine sighed, "I'm gonna have to go shopping before my next class. Speech, I hate speech." She said as she picked up her purse and threw it over her shoulder. "But do you guys want to come with me? Or stay here? You do need some new cloths so you can blend in here." She said referring to the fact that they were wearing suspenders.

"I'll come." Dutchy said; he was very excited about being in the 21st century, after all everything was so new to him.

Spot was sitting on the couch holding a pop tart protectively, "Ise guess I'll come too." He said taking another bite of the blueberry flavored rectangle.

Christine raised an eyebrow as she watched him, "Okay, I'm gonna go get my stuff then I'll be back." She turned and walked down the hall, "And hurry up and finish that pop tart!" She called over her shoulder.

Spot glared at the door she had despaired behind but stuffed the last of the pop tart in his mouth.

"Racetrack Stop! Hello?" Elizabeth sighed into the phone.

"Hey, it's me. How crazy is your place?" Christine said.

"To crazy, are you sure you don't want to trade? You have happy-go-lucky Dutchy and clam, quiet Spot."

"No way my house is already nuts with two of them, their not as calm as you might think. I can't imagine what would happen if I had five. Any way, I'm going shopping with Spot and Dutchy do ya'll want to come?"

"Yea that sounds great. I need to get out of this apartment. The guys will come too, I can get them normal cloths."

There was a smile in Christine's voice, "Sounds good, meet you in front of your building? We can walk to wall-mart."

"Sounds good." There was a crash on the other end of the phone, "Hurry!"

Christine hung up the phone and grabbed her wallet and grocery list from her desk, LOTS of pop tarts! She added to it.

She walked back into the hall, closing the door, "Okay guys, just so you know if the sign on my door says, 'not now' stay out cuz I'm doing something you don't need to be there for. Got it?"

The boys nodded.

"Good, lets go, we're meeting Elizabeth at her place." Christine said walking to the door. They followed silently.

They walked out into the summer air. They made their way up the street still in silence; when they reached Elizabeth's apartment building they found Elizabeth and the guys waiting on the stairs.

"Hey! Ya'll ready?" Christine called from the side walk.

"Yeah!" Elizabeth called back before standing up and motioning for the boys to follow. Christine and Elizabeth watched as Jack and Spot spit shook. "Are we ready now?" Elizabeth asked.

"Yeah." They all said together.

Christine nodded, "Great, let's go."

As they walked they talked, "So I can take your shopping list and get everything and you can take the guys shopping for new cloths." Christine said.

"Um, I can take your shopping list and you can take the guys to get cloths." Elizabeth said.

Christine smiled, "You don't have a list do you?"

"No."

"Fine I'll take the guys shopping and meet you in front of the store at say 3?"

"Sounds good." Elizabeth said as they walked up to the front door of the wall-mart.

"Okay guys your all coming with me. Come on." Christine leading the boys into the store.

"What are we doing?" Jack asked slightly confused; he didn't like having a baby-sitter that had to explain how to do things.

"Where getting all of you new cloths." Christine said grabbing seven pairs of jeans from a rack. She looked at the sizes and guessed what each boy needed. She handed each boy a pair then kept walking over to a rack of t-shirts.

Blink looked at her, "What are these?" He asked looking down at the jeans he held in his hands.

"There called Jeans. Like what Elizabeth and I wear only for boys." Christine explained as she looked for shirts that would fit. Once she had everyone an outfit she showed them to the dressing rooms.

"You all have your cloths right?" Christine said as they walked out of the store holding the bags that safely housed there new cloths.

"Yeah." They all muttered together.

"Christine youse need a newsie name." Spot said speeding up his pace so he was walking next to her.

She nodded, "Alright, What do you have in mind?"

"What 'bout Cloths, since youse is so good with cloths." Racetrack suggested.

"Na yeah scab…" Spot said.

"Hey, lilies." Christine said taking a side trip to the flower stand looking at the white lilies.

Spot raised an eyebrow, "What about Lilies as youse name?"

"I like that, I can get used to calling her Lilies." Dutchy said.

There was a mutter of 'yeses' and 'I agrees' that came from the other newsies. Christine looked around as they all agreed on her new name. "Okay, Okay, Fine you can call me Lilies." She said handing the teller her money and took the bouquet of lilies back over to the group. "Let's find Elizabeth and go home."

They walked down the path till they saw Elizabeth standing under the star in the wall-mart sign.

"Hey." She called, "You ready to go?"

"Yeah," Jack said going over and taking some of the bags from the ground in front of Elizabeth. All the other boys did the same. Spot and Dutchy took the four bags that went to Lilies house.

On the walk back Lilies told Elizabeth about her new nickname. "They call me Lilies now."

"Why?" Elizabeth asked looking at the flowers in Lilies hands.

"I got distracted by the lilies at a flower stand." She said shrugging. "They might give you a nickname soon."

Behind the girls Spot was talking to Jack. "So how's youse first day at Elizabeth's place been?"

"Good, Racetrack found out he loves Cookie dough. It's kinda scary." Jack said looking through the bags he held in his hands.

"Sounds like it." Spot said; he was a little frustrated from the lack of Pop tarts that were in the bags he held.

"How has youse new life at Lilies been?" Jack asked looking back to his friend.

Spot glanced at the girls that were walking in front of them, his eyes scanned the way Lilies used her hands when she spoke to her friend. "So far it's been great; she doesn't get upset with me like those adda people that brought us ta dis time did. She's don't hate me."

Jack raised an eyebrow to his friend, "That's why we'se left them, they'se didn't care 'bout us. We'se lived there for five months and they'se didn't take care of us. Elizabeth and Lilies care about us, look what they've done already. I still can't believe we found them."

Spot nodded sadly, "Yeah, Ise just hope those people don't come after ta us."

Little did any of them know there were two silent figures watching them from the shadows.
