Disclaimer- I don't own Jack. I do own Bobbie though and they are the only characters that appear in this chapter. Sadly I don't own any of the newsies from the movie. But I was thinking about this last night what are the people who do own the newsies doing with them? Are they writing fan fiction? Are they doing anything significant for that matter? I don't think so.
Thank-you Vacant Skies for reviewing my story. All of you guys should check out her stories they rock.

When Bobbie came out of the bathroom she found Jack lying on his bunk staring at the ceiling.
"Ya finally ready I been waitin' out here for an hour." Jack said as he jumped down from his bunk.
"It has not been an hour." Bobbie said, "It was hardly ten minutes."
"So ya admit ya where in there for ten minutes?" Jack asked. Bobbie really wasn't sure why he cared, but she nodded anyway. "We missed da mornin' edition, so we might as well find somethin' cheap ta do, like throw rocks at somethin'." Jack suggested. Bobbie just walked right by him, and down the stairs. "Bob where's ya goin'?" Jack asked following her.
"Bobbie." Bobbie corrected.
"Ok Mrs. Altra-sensative." Jack said smiling to himself. Bobbie snorted.
"If only I was altra-sensative." Bobbie replied. Jack followed her into a small dead end alley. "Dead end right?" Bobbie asked. Jack just looked up at her. "Well if you had answered you would have said yes. But you're wrong." Bobbie said as she swung one of the wooden post's making the fence that was obstructing their way. She squeezed her way through and waited for Jack on the other side. When he finally came through Bobbie was at the other end of the alley.
"Where are we goin'?" Jack asked
"To throw rocks at something." Bobbie replied glad she was finally giving Jack a taste of his own medicine. They walked for fifteen minutes until they reached a set of train tracks. As soon as they reached them Bobbie took off running down the tracks. Jack followed her to see her stopped and staring at a flimsy, old looking target on the other side of the train tracks.
"What?" Jack asked looking at the target and then back at her.
"Look!" She said with a voice full of excitement. "The train is coming! Were just in time." She bent over and picked up a rock and waited for the train to come. When the train first began to pass she began throwing the rocks aiming between the car and trying to hit the target. Jack picked up a rock and his first rock bounced off one of the cars. By the time the train had passed Jack had made it through the cars three times and hit the target each time, but not in the center, On the other hand Bobbie made it through six times. Hitting the center of the target each time.
"It takes a lot of practice." Bobbie said, sitting down while waiting for another train. Jack did the same.
"Do ya enjoy bein' better than me at somethin'?" Jack asked admitting defeat.
"Not as much as I should." Bobbie said laughing. Jack didn't really say anything. Bobbie unbraided her light brown hair, and let it hand loosely at the middle of her back. Jack was staring blankly at the sky when Bobbie grabbed the cowboy hat from around his neck, and put it on her own head. And grinned challengingly at Jack. Knowing Jack he reached over to take the hat back, but she dodged his hand and jumped up. Jack followed her in this motion, and her began to chase her. She kept running until they reached a large field. Bobbie threw Jacks hat back to him like it was a Frisbee. When she reached the center of the field, she abruptly sat and waited for Jack to follow.
"What was the point of dat?" Jack asked as beads of perspiration dropped down his face.
"I was getting bored." Bobbie admitted.
"And what's da point of this?" Jack asked
"Of what." Bobbie asked as she leaned back to lay down.
"Of us sittin' in da middle of a field." Jack said.
"What you don't like it?" Bobbie asked surprised that someone didn't love this beautiful place.
"We should be getting' back now, it about time for da evening edition." Jack said looking up at the sky.
"We just got here." Bobbie said looking at him.
"I know, let's just go back." After he said that he got up and began walking in the wrong direction.
"The city is that way." Bobbie said pointing in the opposite direction. Bobbie got up and led the way back to the city.
