Disclaimer: I don't on Newsies. Or any of the characters so far, except Fantasy. They all belong to their rightful owners.

Thank you to Eraser, Angelfish, CiCi, and Sphinx for the FB. And Sphinx, I'll say your name when they get introduced to all the Chicago newsies, but I've already made up the characters, so you can't be a main one.

The next morning, Kloppman walked up the stairs to wake the newsboys. But there was a surprise for him. All of them were already up, and getting dressed.
The rest of the day went by fast, with some of them selling, Dutchy and Bumlets going off to get Spot, and the rest all packing. It seemed that only a few minutes had gone by when he saw that it was time to leave for the train station. They went and got the girls and started on their way to Grand Central Station.
"Wow." Atlantic said as they walked in. "I have nevah seen da inside, it's bettah den I thought!"
Kloppman laughed and led them over to the mayor. "Hello."

The mayor nodded to them. "I see you're on time." He looked around at them all. "You're not. all going, are you?"

"No. The rest came to see them off." Kloppman said.
"See dem off?" Racetrack whispered to Kid Blink. "Did ya come ta see me off, Kid?"
"I came ta make SURE you went off. I don't know what I'd do if ya came back. Jack's leavin' me in charge, I don't think I'd be able ta handle you."

Racetrack smirked. "Tanks, Kid."
"Well, these are the cars I rented for you, and here are your tickets. Have a good trip, we'll see you soon!" the Mayor said as he handed the tickets out to those who were going.
Jack took Kid Blink aside. "Now, I'se trustin' ya, Kid. Watch out for dem. And for Kloppy. Alright?"
" Jack, I know what ta do, I've done it befoah." Kid said exasperatedly.
"Yeah, but it wasn't foah dis long." Jack said.
"Dere's seven people not goin', includin' me. Don't worry."

"Look aftah Les, too, when you're sellin'." Jack said. "David ain't gonna be heah, either."

"I know, Jack. Don't worry. Just get on da train!"
Jack followed everyone onto the train, giving Kloppman a hug as he went past. He was, after all, a grandfather to him. He was the last to get on the train, and stood in the door, waving to everyone. "See ya!"
The train's whistle blew and it started moving. Everyone on it was excited. They were traveling, they were going to Chicago. But they had no idea what would be in store for them when they got there.

That was short, but I didn't have a lot of time, and I want to write a few more chapters before I leave for two weeks.
