Disclaimer: I don't own the newsies :'(. I don't the Wright Brothers, Henry
Ford or the inventor of the TV. I only own Rachel, Olivia and their
parents.
Blink stared at the girl sitting on his bed. "Umm..how did you know my name and why are you in my bed?" Olivia softly apologized and jumped down.
"It was just a wild guess about your name. About being in your bed...yeah I don't know." She stood there staring at him, still not believing her eyes. This HAD to be a dream. Blink couldn't believe his eye either. Here were two girls standing right in front of him who seemed to appear out of thin air.
"Well, since you already know me, who are you?" Rachel stepped forward and stuck out her hand.
"I'm Rachel and this is my younger sister Olivia." Olivia smiled shyly and shook hands with Blink, blushing at his touch. He couldn't help but notice that they were dressed really weird. The one named Rachel was wearing a black short sleeved shirt with the words "Dashboard Confessional" on it and some blue jeans with slide on sandals. Olivia was wearing a long-sleeved, loose-fitting orange school shirt and short khaki shorts. Her brown hair was up in a sloppy bun, messed up from sleeping. Rachel's dyed, dark purple hair was braided and her dark-rimmed glasses complimented her black eyes.
"How come you're dressed so funny?" Blink asked rather bluntly. Olivia snickered while Rachel blushed a little.
"Well, you see we're not from this time. We're from 2003." Blink raised an eyebrow, shocked at what he had just heard. *2003? There's no way.* A smirk appeared on his face.
"Why don't you prove it?" Olivia stepped in front of Rachel and challenged Blink.
"Ok, I will. You newsies were just on strike, right?" Blink nodded. "And you won right?" he nodded again, still not seeing where this was going.
"Anyone could have known that. Come on, gimme all you got."
"All right, if you insist." Olivia shifted her weight and glanced back at her sister. "In a few years, the first plane will be flown by two guys, Wilbur and Orville Wright. Then, the car will be invented by Henry Ford and finally something called the TV will come into play. Why don't you put THAT in your pipe and smoke it?!" Olivia stared Blink in the face, her heart beating rapidly from excitement and the fact that she was face-to-face with Kid Blink. *Wow, she's really pretty even if she is wearing shorts.* He thought.
"All right, that's good. For now at least. But what's not good for now is your clothes. I have a few extra shirts you guys could wear. Hey MUSH!" He called out to the newsie still standing in the doorway. He came running over, staring at the two girls and their very revealing clothing.
"Whatcha need Blink? Besides some ice, 'cause it's getting hot in here." Mush eyed the two blushing girls and Blink sighed.
"I need two pairs of pants for out guests."
"Oh, no problem!" Mush ran to his bunk as Blink pulled out two shirts.

"So, how do I look?" Olivia asked Blink and Mush as she modeled her "new" clothing. Both newsies eyes popped. Even with worn, baggy guy's clothing, she still looked good. Rachel was pretty as well, but she was more Skittery's or Specs' type: very intelligent and shy.
The four of them stepped out into the hot sunshine, Rachel and Olivia trailing behind Mush and Blink. The two newsies were whispering about something, but Olivia couldn't make anything out. She trotted up beside Blink and joined in. *Great. That's just like Livvy. Leave me for a guy.* Rachel rolled her eyes and watched the ground as she walked. All of a sudden, she ran into something and fell down on the cobblestone.
"Oh, man! I'm so sorry. Are you ok?" Rachel looked up and squinted her eyes. The figure hovering above her looked and sounded like a guy. She took his outstretched hand and got to her feet. Now she could see him more clearly. He had glasses and dark brown, curly hair hidden underneath a black bowler hat. *Specs!* She smiled and stared into his eyes.
"Hi, I'm Rachel." The newsie shook her hand and smiled back.
"I'm Specs. Well, that's what my friends call me at least. Um, do you know Blink and Mush?" He asked, looking at his fellow newsies standing with another girl. Rachel thought for a second.
"Yeah, you could say that." Blink, Mush and Olivia walked over to them and spoke.
"Specs, we were all going to the distribution center to buy our papes, ya wanna come?" Specs was still staring at Rachel. She was really pretty and she seemed smart. He snapped out of his daze, realizing that someone had just asked him a question.
"Yeah, sure."
As Blink, Mush and Olivia walked together in front, Rachel and Specs trailed a few yards behind.
"So, I've never seen you around here before. Where ya from?" Specs asked rather curiously. Rachel was hesitant to tell him, but decided to now rather than later.
"Well, you probably won't believe me and I won't blame you if you don't, but my sister and I are from the year 2003." Specs found this to be amazing. A million questions popped into his head as they arrived at the D.C. Instead, he asked a question he thought to be more important.
"So, Rachel, do you wanna sell with me today? I mean since this is your first time in the big city and all." He shifted his weight and nervously awaited her answer. She nodded much to Specs' relief. He bought his usual 60 papes and handed a stack to Rachel. "We can start with 20 for now and work our way up."

Meanwhile, Mush left Blink and Olivia to talk to Race and Olivia wasted no time.
"Um, Kid Blink? Is it ok if I stay with you today? I mean, I might get lost in this big city and who knows what could happen?!" She bit her lip and acted like she was going to cry. Luckily, Blink saw right through her but agreed to anyways. *Hey, I'll take any opportunity if it means gettin close to her.* Olivia spotted Rachel and Specs selling papes together, so she waved and winked at her. Blink bought his papes and walked up to Olivia, putting his hand on her shoulder.
"You ready?" Blink asked.
"Ready as I'll ever be!"
Blink stared at the girl sitting on his bed. "Umm..how did you know my name and why are you in my bed?" Olivia softly apologized and jumped down.
"It was just a wild guess about your name. About being in your bed...yeah I don't know." She stood there staring at him, still not believing her eyes. This HAD to be a dream.
