Heya, It's me Lysaka! Also, for some people, I'm known as Hobbes. J That's right. So I'm hoping you're enjoying the story. I know that chapters are short and so is this. But long chapters are coming soon, I promise.
Disclaimer: I don't own Newsies, Disney does. Trust me, if I owned Newsies you would know by the fact that I'd have them sing and dance for me non-stop. But I do own Prank, Killjoy, Marbles, and Ramble, so BACK OFF!!! :::turns sweet::: ok
Thank you to all the reviews, ICE CREAM FOR EVERBODY!!! Oh, and Duchess the story is going to go faster now, I just had to do the boring introduction chapters. You know, the ones that no author likes to write but you just can't have them show up because then it looks weird….just me, ok anyway.
NOW ONWARD!

All the newsies were wondering where Jack was. He was a half an hour late. Suddenly the door swung open, Jack entered Tibbys, along with four teenagers that the other newsies had never seen before. Various greetings were heard from the room. "Heya Cowboy." "Where's you been?" "Hard time selling papes cowboy?" one teased. Jack healed up one hand to silence the other newsies, they complied.
"Alright," he spoke "These here are some new newsies." The siblings fought to keep their jaws shut. 'New newsies indeed.' Prankster thought.
"Now," he said introducing the other newsies. "This here's; Kid Blink, Crutchy, Specs, Racetrack…." He continued to name all the rest of the newsies. "Fellas this is Killjoy, Ramble, Marbles, and Prankster." Hellos were heard from all of them. "Dey'se just came off the train from San Francisco today, so be nice to 'em." Jack then went to sit down. Killjoy followed. The restaurant was packed with boys. Prankster turned to her sisters.
"Is it me or do you also feel a little out of place?" she smiled.
"No, I feel out of place too." Marbles offered.
"There's barely any seats left." Ramble pointed out. There were very little seats left and they were all spaced out.
"Well we need to learn about the people we're staying with anyway, so I think we can sit apart for one meal." Prankster said. Her sisters nodded in agreement, and turned to take seats. Prankster sat down next to a short boy that looked no older then her. Obviously Italian, and while most people couldn't pull off wearing three different types of plaid. He pulled it off beautifully. She couldn't remember what Jack had introduced him as.
"Hey," she said. He turned and looked at her trying not to show how surprised he was that she was sitting next to him.
"Hi," he replied. "Prankster, right?"
"Yeah, I'm sorry, I can't remember your name, Jack went kinda fast."
"S'all right. My name is Racetrack." He said, offering his hand. Prankster took it and instead of him shacking it like she thought he would. He brought her hand to his mouth and kissed it.
"Nice ta meet ya." He said softly.
She turned away trying not to show the redness in her cheeks. She looked at her sisters that found a way to sit together at a booth across the room. There were two other boys at the booth.
"Who are my sisters sitting with?" she asked Race.
"The one with the shorts is Mush, and the oudda's Blink." He stated. There was a pause while they stared at each other.
"So, what's good to eat here?" She asked, changing the subject.
"Well, there's lotsa stuff, the menu's over there." He pointed to the chalkboard listing their specials and the costs of everything. The rest of the evening was uneventful, Prank and Race made lots of small talk. Finally the newsies got up to go the lodging house. Marbles and Random ran up to Prank and Race.
"Hiya Lyssie." Marbles said. Race looked confused until he saw Prank respond to the name.
"Hey Marbles, did you enjoy diner?" she asked
"Yeah, it was great." The group left for the lodging house. When they stepped into the lodging house the siblings, still not over the long train trip, went to bed.
