David frowned, confused. "I don't get it," he said slowly. "Jack never mentioned a sister before. He said his folks were out West, but-" He sighed and looked at Micheale, who was wearing a grey vest over a ragged white shirt with black pants.
She grinned slightly. "Jack wasn't proud 'o me much. I ain't very lady- like, ya know?"
Micheale looked out the window to see the other newsies arriving. "Whoops! Gotta go!" She ran outside, leaving David very muddled and confused (and blushing!).

When they met in back of the Pulitzer building, Jack brightened when he saw Micheale. "We have to talk," they began at the same time, "You first," "No, you," "Uh-STOP!!"
Jack burst out laughing. "I dun believe it. It's been-what? Tree years? - an' we still do dis!"
Micheale giggled. "'Member when we did dis in school? The teacher freaked!"
"Yeah…so, what's it been like for you, Mikey? Still beatin' up boys an' breakin' dere hearts aftah?"
"Yup. And proud of it." She turned serious again. "Do ya-do ya still 'ave it?"
Jack had a solemn face as he rifled under his shirt to bring out a small string necklace with a silver-coated metal ring. It was shiny and had etched into it "COWBOY" with a horse with a saddle on its back on one side of the name and a cowboy hat and boots on the other.
Mikey held up her right hand to show one that looked exactly the same, except it had "PUSSY" etched on it with a small striped kitten playing with a ball of yarn on one side of the name and a wild tiger looking on with intense eyes on the other.
Jack put an arm around Mikey. "'Member when Pa gave it to us? 'E said if we ever got separated, we should keep 'em with us to think about each odder by." He rubbed his hand on Mikey shoulder in a brother-like way. "Did Ma or Pa ever to da West?"
Mikey nodded, her eyes filling up. "But-but, aftah a few months-Ma-Ma, she-she died, Jack!" She fell in Jack's arms and started crying.
Jack let tears run down his cheek, thinking about Ma, with her delicate porcelain face that Mikey had. And Ma's rich brown eyes and flyaway highlighted brown hair, which he'd gotten from her. He shut his eyes to think about Pa, smiling next to her, with the face Jack had taken from him and bright green eyes and black hair like Mikey's.
He suddenly realized that Mikey hair was in a tight big bun.
"Putch yer hair down, Mike. You look like a boy."
"That's the idea." But she took out all the pins and let it fall down. It went all the way to the back of her knees.
"Man, we's gotta cut your hair-"
"NEVER!"
She ran away laughing with Jack chasing her.
