Hello faithful readers! Sorry it took so long for me to update, and even
then update is really small. Please bear with me, school just started, and
between going there and homework, I have church stuff, singing, flute, and
piano lessons, regular babysitting, and so on and so on. I'm sure some of
you can relate lol. So, without further ado, chapter 2! (I'm a poet and I
didn't know it hehe ^_^)

P.s. I don't own newsies, so don't sue me, besides I have nothing that you could get from it. Oh ya, I'm still looking for characters for this, and my other story. Just e-mail me!

Chapter 2
Alyssa had found a train schedule and was looking it over as she rode towards the station. The next train left at 9:00. Alyssa nudged Strawberry with her heels to make her go a bit faster. It had been 8:30 when she left the house. She needed to hurry if she wanted to make it; the next train wasn't until 10:30, and she didn't want to wait that long.
It was several more minutes until she could hear the sounds of trains.
"Almost there," she whispered, making Strawberry go a bit faster.
When she got about ½ mile away from the station, she jumped off Strawberry, and gave her a hug around the neck. "I love you, sweetie, you're the best horse ever! Be safe, and don't miss me too much!" Alyssa gave Strawberry a little push, and the horse walked away. Alyssa watched her go a while, and started walking briskly towards the lights.

"One ticket for the 9 o'clock train, please," Alyssa said to the man at the ticket desk.
"Yes'm," he said nodding. He pulled out a few papers, wrote some stuff down, stamped a few things, and pulled out a ticket. He handed it to her. "Would you like a route map?"
"Yes, please," she answered. He her handed that, too, and she paid him.
Alyssa heard the conductor yell, "ALL ABOARD!!"
"Uh-oh," Alyssa thought. She ran and got into the train just in time.
She walked down the aisle and found an empty compartment. She then put her bag down, got comfy as the train began to move, and started to plan out where she was going to go. On the route map it said that the train left Santa Fe and went through the corner of Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and then New York, before then proceeding down the East Coast, but Alyssa didn't bother looking down the whole thing, because she didn't think that she would be going that far.
The first stop was in Kansas, but she wanted to go farther than that, so she decided to get off in the next stop, which was in Illinois. If she calculated correctly, and they went the same speed they were going now all night, they would reach there about 9 o'clock the next night.
So with the feeling of freedom, and the sound of the moving train beneath her, Alyssa fell fast asleep.

I know, it was short, but it will get more exciting, and I will hopefully update soon! (*hint hint* I would probably update sooner if I had more reviews) so plz review! They mean the world to me!
P.s. please excuse my ignorance, but if anyone knows how to make things in italics, please let me know, cuz I've tried and I can't figure it out.
Thanks! (review!)
