Chapter 2

Belle woke up to the sound of boys yelling and talking. She opened one eye cautiously and was staring into one blue eye. Then, she opened her other eye and smiled when she saw Trey. But, she also saw a couple other boys. Her eyes widened and she shot up, only to have her head hit the bunk above.

"Holy Shit!" she cursed.

Blink laughed, "You shouldn't do dat." He said matter-o-factly.

"Yeah. Well, you try waking up to find THREE guys starring at you." She glared at him.

The boy she had seen last night spoke up, "So youse name is Belle? Mines is Jack Kelly and youse clearly knows Blink. And dats Mush." Mush nodded.

"Blink?" she questioned. Then smirked.

Blinks one eye widened, "Oh no. Be quiet. No making jokes. Get cleaned up and get ready, were goin' ta sell."

Belle sighed and got out of the bed, "Fine Blinky boy." Mush and Jack laughed at that.

"I have to meet someone at Lunch time." Belle said as she walked down the steps to meet Blink and Mush.

"Who?" asked Mush.

"My friend I came with. He use to be a Brooklyn Newsie and then he went to Boston. He came back with me though so now I have to meet him."

"Where youse supposed to meet him?" asked Blink.

"He said the Brooklyn Bridge…but I don't know where it is."

Blink nodded, "yeah I can take youse there at lunch."

Belle nodded.

When they reached the Distribution office and got their papes Blink started talking to her, "alright, to be a Newsie dere are three rules youse gotta follow. Rule #1, you got to have a Newsie Name."

Belle nodded, "alright I have one."

Blink gave her a look, "No a Newsie has ta give it to ya."

"Yeeeaaah. And the Boston Newsies gave me one. Why can't I use it?"

Blink sighed, "Fine. What is it?"

"Spunky Connors."

Blink looked thoughtful a moment, "Alright. Ok, Rule #2, we always go ta Tibby's for lunch."

Belle nodded, "alright. Newsie Name, Tibby's, what next?"

"Ok, Rule #3. We Improve da truth."

"Ok…"

Blink sighed as they got to the selling spot. "Take this Headline for example. 'J.P. Morgan Buys Andrew Carnegie's steel business.'"

Spunky nodded, "So you lie?"

"No. we's improve da truth. Say for example, 'ANDREW CARNEGIE SELLS STEEL BUSINESS TO PAY FOR PROSTITUTES!"

Spunky's eyes widened, "Blink! That's not very nice!"

Blink just laughed and sold most of his papes.

"Go ova dere and sell alright Spunky?"

Spunky shook her head and headed off to sell.

LUNCHTIME

Spunky, Blink, and Mush walked towards the Brooklyn Bridge.

"So, Spunky… What's your friends name?" Mush asked breaking the silence that fell on the three.

"Shots." She replied.

Mush nodded.

Finally they got to the Bridge. They only had to wait two minutes when Shots appeared and with another boy Spunky didn't know. But, Blink and Mush must've because they smiled and Spit shook with him.

Shots went over to her, "Hey Spunk. Guess everything went well."

Spunky smiled brightly, "How'd you know Shots?"

"Well, y'know how I got ESP and everything. It just kinda works out."

Spunky laughed, "Shhh. Don't say it so loud. You wouldn't want to be burned at the stake."

The two friends laughed. Then Shots turned to the other guy with him. The guy had ice cold eyes and dark blonde hair, that probably could be confused with brunnette, "Spunky this is Spot Conlon, leadah of da Brooklyn Newsies. Spot dis is Spunky Connors. She the craziest goil youse eva likely to meet."

Spunky rolled her eyes and Spit shook with Spot, "Nice to meet ya."

"Really?" asked Spot a gleam in his eyes.

Spunky gave him a look, "Well if you don't want me to then I won't."

Spot's famous Smirk crawled onto his face, "Alright. But I'se preferred if you did think it was nice ta meet me."

Spunky gave him a look that clearly said, 'what the hell is this guys problem?' then turned and started her way to Tibby's Blink and Shot next to her and Mush and Spot behind them starting a conversation.

A/N: alright I'm not that happy with this chapter all that much because… well I have the rest of the story plotted out but how everything starts is a complete blank to me so if anyones got ideas because I kinda don't want it to go to fast. I would really love it. I'll even give you a piece of ice cream cake if you review! Mmm gotta love ice cream cake!!!

O also that Andrew carnegie and J.P. morgan thing really did happen. I got it off some website cuz I wanted the thing in the paper to be real. Only in my story it happened a yr. After the strike and in real life it happened in 1901. So its pretty good thing huh? Yay anwho…
