Disclaimer: Newsies not mine. If I owned them, then nobody else could use with them, that and Racetrack would be permanently locked in my walk-in closet courtesy of Stretch. Go read her stuff, she's a Specs fan, we must support the few. Also I only own Sureshot. Everyone else owns themselves.

A short girl wearing black pants and a green shirt covered in fairies, opened the door. Her hair was a dark brown color, braided, with the bottoms and random streaks in bright red. There were also red stands of hair that hung down into her purplish-blue eyes which also seemed to have red streaks in them, probably the courtesy of contacts. In her hands she held a gray fluffball of a kitten. She spoke, "Who are you and why should I care," her eyes landed on Spot and she glared at him.

Race stepped forward, "I'm here to see my girlfriend."

Spot leaned forward, "Hey you're that girl that got the part opposite me in the school play. You should feel honored."

Before the girl could respond, a disembodied voice yelled from the kitchen, "Nymph, don't answer the door holding Myst. You're going to get us all in trouble."

Nymph yelled back, "Sorry Tiger," she turned to the boys, "She ain't here," she started to close the door. Suddenly a slightly taller girl with reddish-blonde hair with blue streaks in it, greenish-brown eyes, wearing black jeans and a black shirt that read "Dysfunctional" in white, walked by talking into a purple cell phone, "Siren come pick me up for work so I'm not late. Thanks I'll see ya in a bit," she turned towards the half opened door, where the boys could then see her rose necklace tattoo, she noticed Racetrack, "Racey, come on in."

The eight boys trooped into the room. Race gave the girl a kiss on the check making all the guys groan. Nymph followed them into the common room grabbing a brownie before plopping down on the couch next to a girl with blonde hair and hazel eyes wearing black jeans and a brown shirt with a hidden tiger face on it. This girl was playing cards with the girl across from her, a girl with brown hair with red highlights and gray eyes. She looked very tomboyish wearing a baggy black shirt and baggy black jeans.

Race sat down at the kitchen table and the red haired girl plopped down on his lap. She looked at Race and asked, "So who's this? I know Jack,Snitch, Spot, Mush, Blink, and Bumlets. Who's this boy with the brown hair?"

Race pushed the girl off his lap, "Shot, that's Snitch's new roommate, Bryan 'Skittery' Monroe. Skittery, I want you to meet my girlfriend, Kristen 'Sureshot' Hunter."

Sureshot stood up and walked over to Skittery and shook his hand, "How ya doing?"

Skittery shook her hand, "I'm good. A little confused by all the nicknames and all the new people I'm meeting."

Sureshot smiled big, "I'll fix that for you. Ok for starters, I'm Sureshot, but everyone calls me Shot. My stupid brother gave it to me. He used to call me Shot and one day, forgot why, said Sure, Shot. He liked how that sounded and has been calling me that ever since. I'm a print Journalism major. I write for the school paper. The girl that answered the door is Keiya 'Nymph' Jade. She's a theater major and a creative writing major. She's called Nymph, cause she like a little pixie and plays tricks on everyone. She just got the lead role in the school play Beauty and the Beast."

Spot spoke up, "Opposite me." Suddenly he screamed as the gray kitten scratched his leg to the bleeding point.

Nymph smirked, "Serves you right."

Sureshot sighed, "Can I continue," no one interrupted her, "Good. The girl next to Nymph is Danielle 'Tiger' Smith, she's a Archeologist major. Her nickname comes from a fight at her High School, where she literally fought like a tiger. The girl across from them is Lisa 'Shadow' Shadows. She's really shy and hides in the shadows, that and her last name gave her the nickname Shadow, she's a writing and archeology major."

Mush spoke up, "Can we put on some music?"

Before anyone could say anything, The Lion King, Broadway soundtrack came blasting through the speakers. The next minute brought a loud knocking on the door. Sureshot walked over and opened it up. A girl little taller then her with shoulder length light brown hair with slight blonde highlights, and greenish-blue eyes wearing a red shirt with silver angel wings on it and denim jeans, stood outside it with her hands on her hips. Three other girls stood behind her. One was 5'3" with short dark blonde hair and beautiful hazel eyes hidden behind glasses wearing a blue shirt covered in flags and denim jeans. The second was 5'10" with shoulder length purple hair with blue streaks, she has blue eyes and blue lips due to her lipstick wearing a black tanktop with the Irish flag on it, and black jeans with sliver studs up the sides. The last was 5'2" with shoulder length brown hair and blue-gray eyes wearing a white t-shirt and denim skirt. Sureshot leaned against the doorframe, "Can I help you four?"

The girl in front spoke, "Yeah turn down that god awful music."

Mush walked over, "Why should we beautiful?"

The girl answered smugly, "Cause I said so."

Sureshot sighed, "Look, let's not fight in the hallway, why don't you girls come on in."

The purple haired girl answered, "Sure, why not. I mean we are neighbors we should try to be friends."

The four girls trooped into the room. They entered the common room to see Race, Jack, Snitch and Skittery at the kitchen table. Blink sitting next to Shadow on the couch. Spot, Nymph, and Tiger on the opposite couch. Bumlets sat on the floor playing with Myst. Sureshot looked at the blue haired girl, "I know you don't I. You work at Hot Topic don't you."

The girl nodded, "Yeah. My name's Mary-Frances Callan but my friends call me Shamrock."

Shadow whispered from the shadows, "Why?"

Shamrock used her thumb and pulled a necklace away from her neck, "My necklace. Do you guys know the girls?"

Blink shrugged, "Just Jill, she works at Charlie Brown's with us."

The blonde waved shyly. Suddenly there was another knocking on the door. Sureshot sighed and went to open it. Three girls stood outside it. The first 5'3" with dark brown eyes and hair wearing a short black skirt, a white blouse and black jacket. The second had wavy dark brown hair and light brown eyes, she was wearing a blue shirt that advertised her employment at Baskin Robbins. The third had dark brown hair and emerald eyes, she was wearing a black tanktop and black jeans, she had two piercing in lobe of ear with a hoop at the top of her left ear and a stud in her nostril. A tattoo of a sword with a white rose winding around it was visible on her left shoulder, as was a second on her right forearm of another sword, this one covered in flames. The first girl waltzed into the room, "Shot you ready to go?"

Sureshot shook her head, "Not yet, Siren."

Siren plopped down on Jack's lap, "Hi, Jack."

Jack smiled, "Hey, Siren. Heya Tomboy, Dodger."

The other two girls entered. Both nodded their replies. The one called Tomboy looked at the four girls, "Heather, What are you doing here?"

Heather's head popped up, "Huh, oh I live across the hall."

Siren smiled, "Hey Avani, wanna work for me?"

Avani shook her head, "No. I told you Michelle, don't call me that outside of work. I'm Smartass away from there."

Siren scoffed, "Sorry Smartass. Who are your friends?"

Smartass looked at the others, "I'm Avani Matterazzo, Smartass, when I'm not at work. My friends gave me that name when they realized that every answer I gave was a smartass comment," when no one else spoke up, "Did that fluffball on the floor take you tongues? You can speak, introduce yourselves."

Shamrock smiled, "I'm Shamrock Callan, a history major."

Jill spoke softly, "My name is Jill Stelzner, but everyone calls me Artemis. You know after the Greek goddess of the hunt. I'm an elementary education major."

Nobody else was speaking up. Smartass walked over to Heather and smacked her in the head, "Get your head outta the clouds, Dreamer."

Dreamer looked around, "Huh, oh sorry. My names Heather Kavanagh, everyone calls me Dreamer for obvious reasons. I want to be a high school English teacher."

Siren smiled, "Well since we're all introducing ourselves. I'm Michelle, but as you can see I like to be called Siren. Like in the myths, the sexy sirens of the sea."

Tomboy looked at the people, "I'm Courtney. Call me Tomboy. If you can't figure that one out alone, then I pity you."

Dodger leaned against the wall, "Skyler. Dodger's my nick, cause I can dodge anything."

Sureshot smirked, "Man have we got a list here."

Skittery bit his lip, "Let me see if I got this," he pointed to each as he said their names, "Mush, Blink, Jack, Race, Spot, Snitch, Bumlets, Sureshot, Nymph, Tiger, Shadow, Smartass, Shamrock, Dreamer, Artemis, Siren, Tomboy, Dodger, and I'm Skittery. Wow, I'm never going to remember all this."

Siren slid off Jack's lap and went over to Skittery, "You know you're kinda cute," she threw her arms around his neck.

Skittery pushed her hands off, "Sorry, I'm gay."

Siren sulked back to Jack, "Why are all guys with brown hair gay? I mean, you're gay, Snitch is gay, Louie at work is gay."

Jack stood up, "Don't know darling, but don't you got work."

Tomboy yelled out, "Crap, Siren now we're late."

Skittery stopped them, "You guys all have jobs at the mall and stuff."

Tiger nodded, "Yeah, Me, Shadow, Blink, Artemis, Mush, Spot, and Jack are servers at Charlie Brown's Restaurant. Race and Snitch bartend there and Sureshot helps on Friday and Saturday nights."

Tomboy spoke up, "Me and Dreamer work at Baskin Robbins ice cream."

Shamrock laughed, "Dodger, Sureshot and me work at Hot Topic."

Siren smiled, "Me and Smartass work at Victoria Secrets."

Nymph spoke through her brownie, "Sureshot works millions of jobs cause she's an insomniac, so she works at Journey with me and Bumlets as well."

Skittery rubbed the back of his neck, "Think you can get me a job somewhere."

Sureshot shrugged, "Come with us. Some place is bound to hire you. Do you have a ride?"

Skittery pulled his keys out, "Yeah a pick up truck. I can take seven with me in there. Snitch, Spot, Bumlets, Blink, Nymph, Dreamer, and Shadow wanna ride with me?"

The seven named nodded.

Siren shrugged, "I can take four with me. Tomboy, Dodger and Sureshot are already coming with me. So one more. Race you riding with me."

Race shrugged.

Jack muttered, "We need one more car."

Mush smacked his head, "Oh yeah, My mom lent me her car, a minivan. Jack, Smartass, Shamrock, Artemis, Tiger. Let's ride."

The nineteen teens trooped out to the parking lot and got into the different cars and headed off to Woodbridge Mall.
