"My name's Charlotte." She said
"I like Kitty better." He said. She rolled her eyes.
Cowboy showed her to the area that contained sinks, mirrors, and bathrooms. Charlotte selected a stall and started changing into the clothes she was given. The material of the clothes felt weird compared to what she would usually wear, but she shrugged it off, hoping that she would get used to it. When she finished changing, she left the stall, with her bag and clothes in hand.
"I'll take dat for ya." Cowboy said taking her clothes and bag. He put in a drawer and closed it.
"I'll make sure it stays safe." He said
"Thank you." Charlotte said.
"Since I sold all o' me papes, I won't be able to show ya how to be a proper newsie." He said. Charlotte was a bit down about that. "But don't cha worry, I'll introduce ya ta some of me friends and give ya da grand tour."
"That sounds awesome." Charlotte said. He looked at her, confused
"What's awesome?" he asked, Charlotte smiled.
"It means that it sounds really interesting."
"Oh. Well let's get going." He said leading her to a staircase. "Wait I almost forgot." he turned around to face Charlotte and handed her a newsies hat. She put it on and smiled.
Cowboy led her down the stairs and grabbed her wrist, pulling her to quickly run past the desk and the old man that was there.
"Oi Jack! Who is that with ya?"
"Gotta go Kloppman, explain it to ya latah." Cowboy said, pulling Charlotte until they were safe outside.
They slowed down to a walk and Cowboy let go of her. People were walking along the sidewalks and the streets were filled with old fashion wagons led by horses. The building looked like they were straight out of a history book and the attire that people were wearing reminded her of the Little House on the Prairie.
"What was that about?" She asked.
"I didn't know how ta explain it ta Kloppman why I had a goyl in the room that wasn't Sarah." Cowboy explained
"Sarah?" Charlotte asked. She wouldn't be surprised if that was his girlfriend since he was pretty good looking, and she would not be especially sad if he did indeed have a girlfriend.
"She's ma goyl." He said beaming with a smile.
"How long have you two been together?"
"We just celebrated our first year a couple o' days ago."
"Aww that's nice. Did you do anything special?"
"Yea. I took her ta a dinner undah the stars near the Brooklyn Bridge." He said
"That's so romantic!" Charlotte said.
They continued walking, talking about various things such as the strike, what's it like in Charlotte's time, some funny stories about Cowboy, and other things. It started to get hot and Charlotte tucked her hair into her newsies hat.
Cowboy pointed out places like Medda's, the statue of Horace Greely, the Brooklyn bridge (which Charlotte was familiar with, but it looked so much newer) and where the newsies buy their papers. She thought back to the movie and wondered if she was going to meet Spot Conlon, the Delancey Brothers, and Weasel.
"Look, ovah dere." Cowboy said pointing to a curly haired boy and a young boy selling papers. "Da big one's David and da small one's Les." They walked over to Les and David
"Hey, Davey, Les. How's ya selling going?" Cowboy asked.
"It's going real good, Cowboy, I got a woman to buy 6 papers from me by pretending that I had a terrible cough!" Les said
"Good job, if ya do any better, ya might even get bettah den me." Cowboy said winking.
"Who's that with you?" David asked.
"Dis is mah friend Kitty." Cowboy said smirking at Charlotte, and she gave him a look that said 'you did not just say that'. "Kitty, dese are mah boys David and Les."
"Nice to meet you." Charlotte, now known as Kitty said.
"Nice to meet you, too." David said
"She's not from around here." Cowboy said.
"Where are you from, Kitty?" Les asked.
"Um" she looked at Cowboy and answered quickly "Queens." Which wasn't a complete lie. She was born and raised in Queens, just at a different time.
"That's not too far from here." David said.
"Yeah." She said awkwardly.
"I was goin' ta show her ta art of selling papes, but I already sold all o' mine, so I'm just showing her around." Cowboy said, changing the subject.
"You're learning from the best." David said and Les nodded in agreement.
"Oh really? I didn't know." Charlotte said looking at Jack who shrugged.
"Well, we gots lots ta see and people ta meet, so we should get goin'" Cowboy said.
"Oh okay. Bye, it was nice to meet you, Les and David." Charlotte said.
"Nice to meet you, Kitty." Les said. David nodded in agreement.
Charlotte followed Cowboy and Les and David went back to selling papers.
"So, I'm getting a tour from the best of the best, huh?" Charlotte said raising her eyebrow.
"Ya could say dat." Cowboy said.
Suddenly Charlotte smacked him on the arm.
"Hey! What was dat for?!" he asked
"I can't believe you told Les and David that my name was Kitty!" Charlotte said.
"Well ya had ta have a newsies name." Cowboy said rubbing his arm.
She scowled at him. Kitty sounded like such a dumb name. She could imagine a stripper or a prostitute with that name.
"If ya don't like kitty, we can shorten it ta Kit." Cowboy said.
"That's better." Charlotte said.
"It's gettin' kind of late, we should go get some dinnah at Tibby's. You'll met tha rest of the newsies dere." Cowboy said.
Charlotte nodded, she was kind of hungry.
