*Yusuke Jack swings on the gate as it opens up for the newsies.*

Yusuke Jack: Whee!

Racetrack Soujiro: I love ya! That was better'n yesterday! *giggles*

Yusuke Jack: You're too kind.

Oscar Togoro: We'll get ya tomorrow, Detective Boy.

*Yusuke Jack rings a little bell and leans against the grate.*

Yusuke Jack: Mistah WEEEEEAAAAAseeeeeeel!

Ominous Voice: I'm coming.

*The Bishonen Newsies gulp in fear. The shutters open, but no one appears.*

Ominous Voice: Eh.wasn't the prop boy supposed to get me a stool to stand on?

*Goku the prop boy dashes in and sets a stool down.*

Ominous voice: Thanks, idiot.

*The speaker is revealed to be.Genkai.*

Yusuke Jack: Tee hee hee.Genkai!!!!

Mush Sano: Hey, wouldn't Misao make a better Weasel?

Misao: *Biiiiida face.*

Just go on with the scene.

Yusuke Jack: Hey, Weasel.

Genkai the Weasel: Told you a million times, numbskull. The name is Wiesel. Mister- Mrs. Miss Wiesel to you. How many?

Yusuke Jack: Don't rush me. I'm perusing the merchandise, Miss Weasel.

*Snicker, snicker, laugh, laugh.*

Yusuke Jack: Hunnert papes.

Genkai the Weasel: Hundred papes for the wise guy.

*Yusuke Jack takes his papers and sits down. Soujiro Racetrack steps up.*

Soujiro Racetrack: Good Morning!!!! Listen, I seem to be short on cash, so could you lend me some money, pretty please? *leans in* I got a hot tip on the upcoming duel. It won't waste your money. *giggles.*

Genkai the Weasel: Sure thing?

Soujiro Racetrack: Oh, yes. Very sure thing. Not like last time.

Genkai the Weasel: Yeah? Well then, a hundred papes.

*Soujiro Racetrack sits down next to Yusuke Jack and opens a paper.*

Soujiro Racetrack: Hey, there was an infant born with two heads. *giggles* It must be from Funbari Hill.

*David Kurama and Yahiko Les step up.*

David Kurama: Twenty papers, please. *gorgeous grin*

Genkai the Weasel: Can it.

*David Kurama counts through his papers and frowns.*

David Kurama: There must be some mistake, ma'am. I paid for twenty, but I only got nineteen.

Genkai the Weasel: You gotta problem with that, pretty boy?

*Yusuke Jack, seeing that David Kurama is in over his head, jumps up and rifles through the stack of papers.*

Yusuke Jack: It's only nineteen, Weasel. Nineteen. But don't worry about it. It's an honest mistake. I mean, Morris here can only count to twenty with his shoes on.

Morris Togoro: *iflookscouldkill.*

Yusuke Jack: Tell ya what. Another fiddy for my friend here.

David Kurama: You do mean fifty, don't you?

Genkai the Weasel: Here ya go. Fifty papes. Now beat it.

*Yusuke Jack lopes off. David Kurama follows, Yahiko Les still trailing behind him.*

David Kurama: I don't want your papers. I don't take charity from anyone, I don't know you, I don't care to, so here are your papes.

*David Kurama pokes Yahiko Les. Yahiko Les glowers. David Kurama reaches for the rose in his hair.*

Yahiko Les: Detective Boy. They called him Detective Boy.

Yusuke Jack: Yeah, that and a whole lot of other things, including Yusuke Jack, which is what my mother calls me. And what do they call you, kid?

Yahiko Les: I'M NOT A KID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But they call me Yahiko Les. And this is my brother David Kurama. He's older. BUT ONLY BY FIVE YEARS!!!!!!!

Yusuke Jack: *counting on his fingers* Eh, so how old are you, kid?

Yahiko Les: I'M NOT A LITTLE KID!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I'm near eleven.

David Kurama: He's ten.

Yahiko Les: *glowerglareglower*

Yusuke Jack: Eh, that's no good. Pretend to be seven. Younger sells more papes. That's why Koenma Boots here somehow gets the Employee of the Month badge every stinkin' time.

Koenma Boots: *beaming*

Yusuke Jack: But anyway, if we're gonna be partners, we've gotta be the best-

David Kurama: PARTNERS?!?!?!?!

Yusuke Jack: Well, you owe me for all them papes, right?

David Kurama: *nods*

Yusuke: We can sell and split seventy-thirty, and you get the privilege and honor of working with ME for nothing.

David Kurama: *funny little snorting laugh.*

Yusuke Jack: *mimics funny little snorting laugh.*

David Kurama: *looks perturbed.*

Crutchy Yugi: You're getting the chance of a lifetime here, Davey. Ya learn from Yusuke Jack, you learn from the best.

Bumlets Yoh: THE BEST! *huge smile.* I SAID MY LINE!!! I SAID MY LINE!!!!

Anna: *pats his head.* That's my cute little bishie!!! *kiss kiss*

Snitch Manta: That is so pathetic.

David Kurama: If he's so good, how come he needs me? Is it just my charm and good looks?

Bishie Newsies: *collective ooh*

Yusuke Jack: Listen, I don't need you, pal. But with this kid's puss, and my God-given talent, we could be moving a thousand papes a week. So whaddaya say, Yahiko Les-kun? Ya wanna sell papes with me?

Yahiko Les: YAY FOR -KUN!!!! YES!!!

David Kurama: Hold it. It must be at least fifty-fifty.

Yusuke Jack: *pauses.* Sixty-forty, I forget the whole thing.

*David Kurama looks a tad reluctant, but holds out his hand to shake. Yusuke Jack hocks a loogie in his hand and tries to shake, but David Kurama pulls back.*

Yusuke Jack: 'Smattah?

David Kurama: *twitches* That's DISGUSTING!!! Kaa'san would never allow it.

Specs Naruto: I wish I had a mother. Cry, cry.

Yusuke Jack: Name of the game is volume, Davey. You only took twenty papes. Why?

David Kurama: Bad headline. What is with these people and Sandland?!?!

Yusuke Jack: That's the first thing you gotta learn. Manga doesn't sell papes, hot bishie newsies sell papes. Without newsies, nobody knows nothing.

*Yukina walks by, singing happily to herself.*

Mush Sano: Woo!!! I'm in heaven!!!

Kuwabara Skittery: *droolydrooly.*

Hiei: GAAAAUUGGGHH!!!!!!!
