Note: I do not own any of the newsies characters except for Reina. Thank to all of you who R&R. It's nice to have comments. Even negative ones (helps me know what I'm doing wrong ...except maybe when some jerk comes by and just says "You're story SUXXX"...that certainly doesn't help...^.^;;)
BTW Sorry for misspelling Spot's last name. I fixed it if you noticed! :D
I just saw a lot of people spell it Conlin. So please forgive me! ^.^;;

Chapter Six ~ The Newest Newsie Is...a Girl?
Reina stared at her clothes.
They were baggy...
Dirty...
"Ah! Yous look magnificent! Stunning! Perfect! Yous look-"
"I look like a BOY!" Reina snapped shooting a sideways look at Kid. Kid allowed the big grin he was suppressing to finally break free and cover his mouth. "Yep. Yous look like a genuine newsie"
Reina glanced back to the mirror. She was wearing black, dirty slacks with suspenders and a loose white button up shirt. The shirt was once white but now was very much gray from dirt and God knew what else. She held her brunette hair up and under a brown loose fitting cap. Indeed, she did look like a guy.
Kid came up behind her and slapped a large brown coat on her. Reina became a bit confused.
"What's this for...?" she asked, surveilling the coat. It was very loose and baggy on her. However Reina had to say it was her favorite part of the outfit so far. Reina smirked.
Kid stepped back and admired her. "Well...yous dun look boyish enough...sumthins missin"
Reina rolled her eyes. She could only imagine.
What came next made Reina want to cry from bliss. Kid cupped her face gently then took both of his thumbs and smeared black soot on her cheeks. Reina stood a bit surprised and her excitement died down as Kid stepped back, releasing her face.
Kid was about to say something but someone else said it for him.
"Wow...she looks like a real newsie..." Spot proclaimed, entering the room and looking Reina over from head to toe. Spot began to circle her and Reina blushed a rosy red. She couldn't help but feel like an animal being seized by it's predator.
"Well Kid, if you can give 'er half da the skills in selling papes as yous did in the clothin' department...den dere may be hope for 'er yet" Spot said, smirking directly at Reina.
Reina glared. "I can do as good as job as anyone else here"
"Really?"
"Yes!"
Reina neglected to note that Spot had moved closer to her. Much closer. Kid cleared his throat and only then did Reina snap out of her blaze of fury. She shoved past Kid. "Aww get over yourself Spot and go do YOUR job"
Kid ushered Reina out and gave Spot an apologetic look before following her.
Spot stood with his arms crossed and watched them both. Spot stared at the doorway and already knew...
"She's gunna be trouble..."
