Riles laid awake in her bunk. She kept thinking how her life is going to be. Never did she once ponder about her family. Suddenly she closed her eyes and fell in a deep sleep.

~ Meanwhile ~

Everyone at the party went home. Riles' family packed up their belongings and headed for the door. Little did they notice, that she wasn't present. They walked home and decided to go to bed.

~ Back at the lodging house ~

Tossing and turning and tossing again. Squirming around in her blankets, She sat up in her bed in a rush. She opened her eyes in a panic. The guy to the bunk next to her couldn't help but overhear her. He gently and quietly slipped out of his bed and tip toed over to her. He tried to look into her eyes for a honest answer. But he couldn't, she kept closing them and started to cry.

" What'sa matta? You'se 'ight?" She lifted her head gracefully.

" I.I don't know." She replied as she didn't remember what happened. He gave her a comforting hug.

" You probably jus' hada nightmare." He whispered as he tried not to wake the others.

"Probably." He started back to his bunk when Riles interrupted with a soft whisper.

"Thanks." He nodded his head and smiled then turned and jumped on the top bunk.

"Good night Riles." He quietly said. They then fell back asleep.

The next morning she heard Kloppman walking up the creaking stairs.

"All right! Sell da papers! Carryin' in the banner!" he yelled as he woke up everyone.

"Come on, don't jus' lay dere!" Maddy told her.

Riles walked with Maddy as she also got to buy and sell papers. She also got to know the newsies better.

"Half eaten/ buried alive man!" **HAHAHA!!! SHUPPPP!!!!**

"Local factories demolished!" were the 'headlines' being called out. Riles couldn't quite grasp what the newsies were doing. But after a brief demonstration, she caught on. By the mid afternoon, they went to the local restaurant, where they always go after selling papes. They ordered their drinks and made a toast to the new comer.

"To Riles, may she always be one of us!" As Jack raised his glass.

"Cheers!" The newsies echoed. She was very pleased. As they were about to put down their glasses, a man with a nice sharp suit, with a little bow tie walked in.

"Heya fellas!" He said smiling.

"Heya Denton!" called the newsies. Denton looks around the room.

"I see we have a new newsie!" Riles stared at him.

"Da names Riles!" She came out in her New York accent. He looked surprised but didn't want to show it. He shook her hand and replied.

"I work for the New York Sun, Brian Denton."

"Please ta meet ya." She's been around the newsies for so long, the accent grew on her plus she wanted to fit in.

~ Meanwhile ~

Riles' nurse went to go wake up Riles. When she flipped over the covers, her face grew wide. "What's this? What happened?? Oh my lord!!" Flashes went through her mind. She yelled through out the halls waking up the household.

"What's wrong dear nurse?" Riles' mother asked as she squinted her eyes.

"She's gone! Gone!! Gone!!!"

"Clam down, she just probably got up early and went to school." Her father replied. The nurse thought for a moment and choose to believe that story.

"Maybe." She murmured.
