Disclaimer: Um... yeah ... FORGOT THIS! Heheh. Don't own Newsies, yadda, yadda, yadda! Oh, and Mayfly owns Sita... wait that ain't right, heheh. Sita owns Mayfly, and Tab owns Smalltalk. Yeah, I think that's it.

OKAY, all my AMAZING GIRLS WHO REPLIED TO MY CC! I love you guys... but,
sadly, my brain is not fully functional with school, so I decided not to use any new OC's... I feel like I would kill your characters, so I hope an update is better than nothing... LUFFLE YOU!!


HERE WE GO...

Blink stared at the girls strolling towards his group of friends and smirked. He began nudging the rest of his crew and nodding in the girls' general direction. Jack turned around slowly, nudging Blink with his shoulder.

"Have you seen those girls before, Blink?" Jack asked curiously.

"Nope, but I wouldn't mind meeting them now..." Blink said. Pie Eater rolled his eyes and punched him on the arm.
"Come on, Blink... I mean..." Pie turned his head and nearly felt his eyes pop out of his sockets.. "Wow..."

"You can say that again," Jack said, smiling.

"Wow..."

"I didn't mean it literally, Pie."

"... oh. I knew that." Jack rolled his eyes in exasperation.

"Pie, you're such an idiot sometimes," Blink chided. Pie snorted indignantly.

"Lay off, Blink. I'm not the one gawking at the girl in the peasant top."

"I love girls with red streaks," Blink said, sighing dreamily.

"You just sighed, didn't you?" Jack questioned, bewildered.

"My God, he did!" Pie exclaimed.

"Shut up!" Blink said as he blushed and ripped his eyes from Mayfly. At that point the girls stopped coming towards them. Simultaneously, the guys took a step forward.

"Girls! We have no excuse for going over there!" Raven said with a frown.

"Um... trip and fall?" Smalltalk said, sucking on a piece of her strawberry-blonde hair.

"No, too obvious," Raven said, pondering what could be done. Her eyes lit up a few seconds later. "I got it! 'Got a light?'"

"I know you, you're... you're shivering," Mayfly sang and struck a flashy musical
theater pose. Raven raised her eyebrows as Smalltalk giggled madly. "EEP! RENT! I
LOVE RENT!"

"Yes, as does the rest of the theatrical population of New York" She smiled slyly
before continuing. "'Got a light' is perfect," Raven stated with determination.

"Problem, Oh Marvelous Raven-face," Mayfly said, practically singing the words.

"What would that be?" Raven asked.

"We don't smoke," Mayfly said motioning towards Smalltalk and herself.

"Of course you don't," Raven said, pausing for a second, "BUT I DO!" She smacked Mayfly upside the head, who then proceeded to attach her teeth to Raven's arm. Raven winced, rubbed the bite mark, and wrote it off as another fit of temporary insanity from Mayfly. Raven quickly fished through her black Gucci purse, pulled out a Newport, and smiled triumphantly.

"Raven, I can see your lighter...." Smalltalk said, pointing to the lighter sticking
half-way out of Raven's bag. Raven rolled her eyes and grabbed the lighter as well. She held it in her hand for a second then dropped it to the floor by her boot. She bent down to pick it up when her boot "accidentally" crushed the plastic chamber.

"Oops! My goodness, whatever am I going to do now?" Raven cried, beaming from ear to ear. The other two girls giggled wildly, and they began marching over to the boys again.

Jack turned around and saw an auburn-haired, brown-eyed, sensuous woman walking his way. She was clad in tight-fitting Seven Of All Mankind jeans and a skintight black halter top. A Tiffany bracelet was clasped around one wrist, and dangling from the other was a band of diamonds. A ruby drop hung around her neck. His mouth almost dropped open in shock as he let his eyes roam over her body, inspecting it thoroughly.

"See, what did I tell you Mayfly? It's like I'm a prime steak, and he's looking to eat me up whole," Raven said, gesturing towards Jack. Mayfly giggled.

Jack tapped Blink on the shoulder, and he turned around. His jaw dropped as he
caught sight of the dark-haired girl at Raven's side. Her hair was parted on one side and pulled back into a tight ponytail.. She wore a light blue, off-the-shoulder peasant blouse with billowing sleeves. To complete her ensemble, she wore a tight, black mini-skirt and knee-high black, leather boots. Around her neck was a deep blue sapphire drop. He whistled softly as he tried to shake the image from his brain

"I feel like I'm going through an inspection," Mayfly commented nervously.

"You are, sweetie," Smalltalk said as she bounced around cheerfully.

Blink poked Pie, who muttered a quiet, "ho-ly shit," when he turned around. Pie Eater practically sucked the image of Smalltalk into his brain. She sauntered over to him in tight, black pants and a skintight, red, one-shoulder top. On her neck she wore an emerald drop. Pie gulped and tried to regain his voice but realized it was pointless.

"I think he likes me." Smalltalk giggled.

"How do you know that?" Raven replied.

"Look at his pants; he's happy to see me."

"Oh, dear..." Mayfly groaned.

Tension filled the air as the three boys awaited their arrival. The group of girls finally stopped in front of the men, and they stood in silence for a moment.

"Hiya, guys!" Smalltalk said cheerfully and waved at each of them, beaming from ear to ear. Raven mentally rolled her eyes while Mayfly and Blink exchanged awkward glances. Raven turned her glance to Jack and smiled at him seductively.

"Got a light?" Raven asked innocently. Jack was mentally drooling over her. He stood there, dumbfounded, before he finally located his voice.

"Uh... y-yeah," Jack managed to choke out as his male counterparts chuckled. Jack took his lighter out of his pocket as Raven drew the cigarette to her lips. He flicked the flame on, and Raven brought her face closer to it, inhaling the cigarette fumes. She smiled coquettishly as she pulled away.

"Thanks," she said, licking her lips slowly.

"No prob," Jack said and cleared his throat.

"And then as I was walking down the street, this car almost ran me over! IT JUMPED THE SIDEWALK! Seriously, I freaked out! I couldn't believe it! Stupid cab drivers. New York should really just fire them all. Public transportation is much better. True, it's kinda dirty, but at least you don't have a near-death experience every day..." Smalltalk rambled on and on as Pie Eater as he stared at the girl in awe. All he could do was nod and let his mouth drop open in shock as she continued to speak at a mile a minute.

"Hi, I'm Ashleigh, but call me Mayfly," Mayfly said shyly to Blink as her cheeks turned a light shade of pink.

"I'm Louis, but you can call me Blink, everyone else does." he replied and shook her hand politely. He smiled brilliantly at her, and she couldn't help but smile back.

"So.... are you and Jack close friends?"

"Oh, yeah, like brothers," Blink answered. "You, the chatterbox, and the vixen close?"

"Definitely! We practically live at each other's apartments."

"You pay their rents too?" Blink said with a smile.

"EEP! RENT! How we gonna paaaay, how we gonna paaaaaay last year's rent!?"
Mayfly chimed in her amazing voice, and Blink burst into laughter.

"Headed straight for Broadway!" Blink exclaimed. Mayfly blushed like crazy, and they continued chatting.

"... and then I ran through the park super fast, rushing all over the place chasing that friggin' newspaper. I tell you, I was practically hyperventilating! That dumb wind was just WILD!" Smalltalk continued to ramble, and Pie continue to nod and stare at her in awe. He couldn't seem to get a word in edgewise.

"HEY, SMALLTALK!" Pie shouted. She blinked and stopped speaking suddenly.

"Yeah, Pie?"

"Could I... could I get your number?" Smalltalk's entire face was illuminated by her smile; she was truly smiling, because she had won and she knew it.

"Sure you can! 1212-453-8721" Pie put her number in his cell phone and smiled back at her.

"Hey, let's go inside and party." Pie nodded at the door and Smalltalk nodded back as they trotted inside together.

"So, Mayfly... you like to dance?"

"I'm a spaz when I dance...."

"So am I! So, what do you say we look like idiots together?"

"SURE!" Blink and Mayfly walked inside the club together, leaving Raven and Jack outside, alone, with the rest of Jack's crew.

"You always this quiet?" Raven asked Jack, smirking. The other boys snickered at Raven's comment.

"No, I'm usually not. It's just that I'm stupefied by your beauty," Jack commented coyly. The boys burst out laughing, and so did Raven.

"Feeding me lines already! Don't you know that all girls want is pleasant
conversation?" The group of boys "ooh"-ed simultaneously.

"Well, excuse me for trying."

"Jack, just shut up already and ask the chick for her number," the blonde who had gotten out of the Mercedes with Jack chimed.

"Shove it. Spot," Jack said, clearly annoyed. Raven mentally noted the name and realized that she knew the guy. She also realized that having him know Jack wasn't a good thing at all.

"How about I save you the trouble and just give it you?" Raven said.

"I like that idea."

"Pen?"

"Hey, er....Race, got a pen?" Jack said, turning to the Italian standing next to him. Race rolled his eyes and handed Jack a pen, who then handed the pen to Raven.

"Thanks, Race," Raven said, flashing him a smile. Raven took Jack's hand lightly and turned it over.

"1212-639-0136." Raven said the digits slowly and pressed them gently into his palm. "There, now you won't forget to call."

"How could I forget?"

"Easy." Raven kissed Jack on the cheek and headed for the door of the club where the bouncer automatically let her in.

Jack let out a whistle and stared at the number on his palm.

"Did what I say out loud sound as dumb as what I said in my head?" Jack asked Spot.

"Dumber, Jack."

"Damn."

"She turned you into a blubbering idiot in a span of three seconds flat," Spot said to Jack with a smirk on his face.

"Nope, two," Race contradicted as the rest of the boys laughed.

"I'm in trouble..." Jack mumbled to himself.

"And why is that?"

"I feel like if I don't call her, she's gonna hunt me down and castrate me."
