Author's Note: All right, so this is all that I have done with this one so far. There will be more chapters to come, but I figured I'd upload what I have done now, that way you all can read it an enjoy and then when you get here, you can be all pissed at me for not uploading the entire thing for you to read. It shouldn't take me long to finish the next chapter though, so keep holding on!

Chapter 7: The Name of the Game

"All right, guys, we're going to play a little game." Izzy said.

"Oh, I love games!" Blink shouted.

"Down, Blink." Shelley said, patting his head.

"Now, we had to call in someone special to help us out with this seeing as there are six of you and four of us." Evie said.

"It's not some big, burly, creepy guy, is it?" Skittery asked.

"What is wrong with you?" Evie asked, staring at him.

"No, it's not a big, burly, creepy guy… well, he is kind of big… but far from burly… and only somewhat creepy." Shelley reasoned.

"Thanks for that." A muffled voice said.

"Quiet!" Elle said, kicking the door. "So, this guy is going to help out with our game. Now, if you'd like to come in."

The door opened and an extremely tall man stepped into the room, "This is Talkback."

"You're extremely tall." Mush said.

"I get that a lot." Talkback said, deadpanned, sitting on the floor. He looked around, "Hey, you guys look just like the newsies."

Shelley did an immediate facepalm while Izzy and Evie rolled their eyes.

"You dumbass, we already told you… Never mind. I'm not getting into this." Elle said.

"Just take a book, Talkback." Shelley said, handing him a book.

"What's this?" He asked.

"Do you not listen when we speak?" Izzy asked.

"Well, sometimes… but normally you have cookies to give me at the end." He said.

"No cookies." Evie said.

"But… I need cookies."

"No cookies." She repeated.

He frowned, "Fine."

"Okay, let the name search begin." Izzy said.

"I t'ought you said this was a game." Spot said.

"It will be… once you get a name." Izzy said.

"But we already have names." Mush said.

"Not real names… well, you do, but you probably don't remember them, do you?" Shelley said.

There was a collective nod of 'no' and a few minutes of silence.

"My point exactly." Shelley said, opening her book.

Two hours later,

"I've got my name." Blink said, handing Shelley his paper.

She took it and marked it in her notebook, "All right, you're good."

Blink was followed by Skittery, Spot, and Mush.

With David and Elle,

"How are you taking this long? You're only looking for a middle name." Elle sighed. "Technically, you don't even need one."

"But I want one." David whined, searching through the book.

"Then choose something!" Elle shouted.

"Fine!" He said, closing his eyes and point to a name. "There, that's my middle name."

"Finally! He's found one!" She said, marking it in Shelley's notebook.

With Race, Izzy, and Talkback,

"Find one yet?" Izzy asked.

"I've got a first name but I need a middle name now." Race said.

Talkback started laughing, "How about Finnius?"

"No."

"Fergus?"

"No"

"Farley?"

"No."

"Friedrich?"

"No! What is it with you and the F's?" Race asked.

"I'm in the F section." Talkback said.

"Well pick another letter, would ya?" Race asked.

"Okay… Remus?" Talkback asked.

"No."

"Rodney."

"Hey… that's not bad…"

"No." Izzy said.

"Why not?" Race asked.

"Your nickname would be Rod." Shelley chuckled.

"Oh, yeah, well, never mind." Race said, going back to his book.

"I've got it!" Talkback exclaimed. "Romeo."

"I like it." Race said.

"Definitely not." Izzy said.

"Hey, you wouldn't let me have Rodney, I'm having Romeo!" Race screamed.

"That didn't sound right… at all." Blink said, laughing.

"No one asked you, Blink." Race said.

"You know, you have a habit of doing that." Shelley said, looking at Blink.

"Doing what?" He questioned.

"Butting in when you're not wanted."

"What do you mean?" Blink asked, slightly offended.

"Guys, shut up." David said.

"Shut up, David." Elle said.

"Don't tell me to shut up." David said.

Elle shot David a look that should have killed him instantly, but somehow he magically survived and he shut up.

"You know, I was just kidding with the Romeo name." Talkback said.

"Yeah, well, I'm not." Race said. "I want my middle name to be Romeo."

"Okay, fine." Izzy said, writing it in the notebook.

"You have issues." Talkback said.

Now that all of the newsies had their names, Shelley was handed the notebook and she looked at all of the boys, "All right, now we are going to play the name game."

"In this game, we will be asking you a series of questions with your new name." Evie said.

"You will need to answer these questions correctly with the correct name to boy." Izzy said.

"Where are you going?" Elle asked.

"To see if your mom has any cookies." Talkback said.

"She doesn't. Sit down, you're playing too." Elle said, crossing her arms.

"But why? I'm not a newsie." He said.

"You do go by Talkback. You've probably forgotten that you have a name." Izzy said.

"I do?"

"Yes! Chase Olson!" Shelley said.

"Oh, yeah, that." He said, sitting in his chair.

"Now, let's start. Jason Isaac Montgomery."

Shelley looked up to see Skittery's hand raised in the air.

"All right, shout something for your answer, like 'here' or 'present'." Evie said.

"Oh, we're getting presents?" Blink asked.

"It's a good thing you're cute." Shelley muttered.

"Thanks… hey!" Blink said.

"They do that to me all of the time." Talkback assured him.

"Shut it." Izzy said.

A few minutes later,

"Jason, favorite color?" Shelley asked.

"Mfumbeh." Came the muffled response.

"What was that?" Evie asked, snickering.

"Mfumbeh." Came a louder muffle.

"You'll have to speak up, we can't hear you." Evie smirked.

"Purple, okay! It's purple!" Skittery shouted.

"Thank you." Shelley said, marking it off of the paper.

"Really?" Spot asked.

"Yes." Skittery responded.

"No, really?"

"I didn't make fun of you guys." Skittery said.

"That's because we didn't pick girl colors." Spot said.

"I like purple." Mush said.

"Thanks, Mush."

After tallying the numbers,

"Boys, we're very proud. You all did well." Elle said.

"Yes!"

"Except one." Evie said.

"Who?" Race asked.

"Guess." Shelley said, looking at Talkback.

"Me? I couldn't be that bad."

"There was a total of one hundred points and you got negative one fifty. How does that work with your logic?" Shelley asked.

"That was rigged to make me look bad." Talkback said.

"Yeah, because we care so much about that." Elle said, rolling her eyes.

"I'm going upstairs." Talkback said, leaving.

"Don't you care that you made him mad?" Mush asked.

"He'll get over it." Evie said.
