The night faded into morning, unknown to the 18 teenagers who were all deep in conversation and some completely taken in with the room and it's inhabitants. Victoria looked around at the others who were all chatting noisily. She turned to Crutchy.

"I wonder why my little sister hasn't come in yet, we must have woken her by now. I mean, she sleeps right below us." Crutchy shrugged his shoulders. Just then the door burst open and a small girl with curly brown hair waltzed in wearing her day clothes.

"Vicki?" the young girl said in awe as she looked at the ten extra people, nine of them being boys. Yet all of them dressed in a very peculiar manner. She stepped back a few steps until she hit the banister that carried to the first floor. She turned her back and took a deep breath to yell down to her parents, but before she could a hand clamped over her mouth and she was drug backwards into the room, the door slamming shut behind her by Crutchy.

"What do you think you're doing Veronica, you know Mummy and Daddy would have a fit if they knew there were this many people here without them knowing!" Victoria half yelled as she removed her hand from her sister's mouth. "Are trying to get me in trouble?"

"The question is Vicki, what are YOU doing, and who ---" She stopped short as she looked around the room, seeing the Newsies standing around with the girls. "Oh goodness! It's the New---" A hand was smacked over her mouth again.

"Be QUIET Ronni." Victoria hissed in her ear. Veronica turned and whispered something in Victoria's ear, that made them both grin. Victoria leaned down and whispered something back, jutting her head toward the window where Les happened to be standing. Veronica walked over to him and introduced herself. The stayed by the window chatting, the warm glow of the eastern rising sun washing over the two 10 year olds. It was then that the 'dawning' spread across the faces of the teens.

Paige jumped from her spot playing cards and chatting with Racetrack, Chantal, and Jack, and rushed to the window. "What time is it!?" She said looking toward the half-risen morning sun. Veronica looked at her panic stricken face.

"It's nearly 9:00 now..." She smiled.

"What the heck, how did time go by so fast, I feel like I just woke up and met you guys... How did the night turn to day in that short amount of time!?" Ireanna questioned.

"Oh gosh..." Charlie groaned. "We've been up all night, and we have school tomorrow..." She gasped.

"What, what is it Pipes?" Mush asked grabbing her shoulder.

"We have school, what are we going to do with you guys?" Novahlie said.

"And, we have to do something about your clothes... seriously." Jocelyn said laughing. "You'll draw far too much attention to yourselves, AND us if you guys are dressed like that." Jocelyn stroked her hair in thought for a moment. "Okay, we can get you guys some clothes from my brother, Joshua, and Charlie's brothers, Anthony and Chris. And then... we go shopping." A mischievous glint flickered in Jocelyn's eye that only the girls knew.
