I am so sorry I haven't posted! I forgot all about FanFiction and then I started writing another story. And on top of that school is a pain! But now that I'm on crutches for a bit, I have more time to write. No promises about on how quickly I can post a story, but I will try! I've got two stories going, and I have to try to be fair to both sets of readers. My writing has changed since I started this, so the writing style might be different then the first chapter, but from now on I'll try to be consistent! I would love reviews and advice on the story, as well as if you would read my other story. But I'm not betting on that, hehe. Ok, I've rambled enough.

I do NOT own Newsies or any of it's characters. I do own Silver.

Its Just a Game

Soon the group of us were waiting for the papes to be ready for us. Just as always the Delancey brothers were insulted and jeered at by the group of boys. I never say anything but I know that what the other newsies say affected the two brothers.

Oscar and Morris had a home unlike us newsies. they had their uncle and earn more then we do. But other then that there is no difference between us and them. They are just as hard working as us, even thought most newsies don't notice that.

I stood and watched at the brothers and Jack go at it in their normal antics. This was just play for the three, just a game they've played for years. It was just a game to them. I think I am one of the few who knew it was game. But I knew because I'd been involved in those fights a few times. I knew the punches hurt, but never were meant to harm. As I watched as Jack ran past with his normal grin, I couldn't help but grin.

When Jack stopped to speak to some boy I did not know I started to make my way towards this new boy. As I got closer I noticed there were two new boys, one was just too short to have been seen at first. Soon Jack was chased off by Morris and Oscar. I watched him leave as a I stopped next to the new boys.

"Heya, ya new 'round here?" I asked the older boy.

"Um, yeah, kinda. What was that all about?" the boy asked pointing after Jack and the Delanceys.

I laughed I couldn't help it. "It is just something you will see every morning. Those three do this every morning as a kind of greeting. None of them get hurt too badly," I stated as I let my eyes follow the three.

The older boy nodded obviously pretending to understand the fighting. I wasn't going to say much more about that though.

"I'm Silver, Silver Kelly, by the way. Who are you two anyways?" I asked glancing at the younger of the two.

"I'm Les, and this is my brother David," the younger boy stated happily.

I could tell the younger one was the more friendly of the two brothers. I figured Les would become a good friend to me and, probably even more likely, Jack.

"It is nice to meet you, Les. You too David. If either of you get into trouble let me know. Or let that boy you saw runnin' know. We'll help you out. And he's not that bad," I stated.

"Thank-you, but I doubt we'll get into any trouble," David stated as the gates opened.

"Sure, you won't," I muttered as I stepped back into the crowd of newsies. I have no clue if David heard me or not, but that didn't matter.

Soon I was watching him and his brother disappear into the crowd. I was always the last person to get my papes, and I made sure it was that way. I wanted to make sure the boys got enough papes and that the younger ones were off safely.
