AN: Hey everyone… sorry this took so long to pull together. Its just that I had exams last week and the play…. So now I'm actually ready to write because I HAVE FREE TIME YAYAYAYAY! Also I had time to think about my next chapter… thanks for waiting

On with the story:

As they walked up to the distribution office Mia was a bit worried, she'd always imagined she would be a good Newsie, but now was the real test. "one hundred papes please" she said as she handed him a fifty cent piece. She then headed down the stairs and looked at the headlines. Some of them were pretty good today, once you spruced them up that is.

"Ya ready?" Red asked.

"I hope soah!" Mia said. They all left in a group calling as loud as they could the headlines. It turned out Mia's group was heading for Central Park. Mia looked down at her pape and read: Mayor falls down stairs. Mia thought a minute and then said " Mayor tumbles down steep steps breaking his ankle" she yelled. It wasn't the best idea but it was all she could think of at the time.

"Woah, that's the loudest call I'se evah hoird!" Sugar exclaimed.

Mia blushed "Is it?"

"Yeah, looks like ya have a talent!" Race said smiling.

They arrived at Central park and separated a bit. Mia looked at her papes again and read " Carriage crash hurts few." So she yelled " Huge Carriage Crash Kills Three" Mia got a few on that one, but she saw many heads turn. "Wow!" she thought "I really am loud, I wonder if that's good?"

She sold more than she assumed those next few hours but not all of the hundred papes, only about seventy-five. She met up with the group and they talked a bit before leaving for Tibby's.

"Ya knoah, Mia, I could heah ya from wheah I'se standin'! Spice said.

Mia was astonished, Spice had been the farthest away from her.

"Hey! I'se knoah what ya name can be!" Mush exclaimed.

"What?" Mia said expecting the worst.

"Loud Mouth!" He replied.

Mia thought a minute and then smiled "I'se like it!!!" she exclaimed

"Yeah its poirfect!" Red said finalizing it.

At that they started heading for Tibby's. Mia was estatic, it was everything she'd imagined and better. Being a Newsie would be tons of fun.

"Tibby's is great!" Race was telling Mia "Cheap food and good at that."

"Yeah, I'se hoird of it!" Mia said

"In Michigan?" Race asked

"eh… I'se hoird of it in the two days I was heah before I met Jack!" Mia thought of quickly.

"Oh ok." Race said.

They arrived at Tibby's and entered in. Some of the Newsies were already there but most weren't. Mia sat down at a booth next to Spice. Across from her was Sugar and Mush.
