Because all of the names of my house guests had suddenly changed, I got up went to get some name tags. I am handing out the tags when it occurs to Matt, I mean Kid Blink, that I don't have a name.
"That's right! We can't have the mother and giver of the name of the Newsies go without her own name can we?" says Swifty.
" No, no. It's okay, really. I don't have to have a name. Amanda has worked just fine for me up until this point and I don't see any reason to change it."
To this Racetrack says, "Of course you need a name. And you are going to get one."
"Well, fine but only if it actually has something to do with me and isn't totally random like all of yours."
"Excellent, now what to christen the only girl in the Newsies?"
Several names are suggested, like Barrymore( a reference to my acting I think), Mary Poppins, and some even more random ones. Finally, they decide what my name should be.
Spot- "I think that we should call her Belle. Like the character from Beauty and the Beast. Do you guys remember the song when all of the village people are saying how strange she is what with the reading and inventing and lack of interest in the men in her village. Then they go on to say that she really is very beautiful."
Cowboy- "That is exactly like Amanda. All those in favor of Belle, raise your right hand."
Everyone in the room raised his hand. I am torn between being offended at being called strange, being flattered for being called beautiful, wondering how these guys thought of Beauty and the Beast, and wanting to thank Spot for giving a normal name. Before I have time to protest, a name tag is stuck on my shirt saying Belle. And just like that I am a member of the Newsies, sorta.
