A/N: Me first timetraveling fic. Just so you know Evelyn is not my sister's real name. She didn't want to be in it at all so I just changed her name. And my other sister doesn't care but I changed her name anyway. Translations are in pharentheses. R&R!!
Disclaimer: I do not own anybody here except myself. I don't own the fantasic works of 'Anything Goes' either.

Chapter 1- But I get a kick out of you!
2004 or 1899? 1899 hell yeah! MUWAHAHAHA! Okay calming down. But seriously, I'd rather live in 1899. Newsies people, newsies! Sexy hot adorable newsies.What more can I say?
"Time to go!" That's my sister Evelyn or Evie for short. People say we look alike, we both have the same eyes, dark brown, and the same face. There are two differences with us, I'm 15 and am 5 foot 3, she's 13 shorter than me...obviously. Her hair is black and straight and mines dark brown with burgandy gold tints and slightly wavey, mid-back. I got mine from my mom, she from my dad. We love to hate each other, mostly because she claims I'm annoying and she has such a short temper. She also says I'm immature along with other, uh, inappropriate stuff. Same goes for her.
"Oh shut up"
"I'm telling!" Evie says. My mom's big on stuff we say, like shut up, stupid, dumb. Little stuff like that. Haha I remember once my 8-year- old sister, Melinda, said the word bitch because she heard it from the neighbors, my mom was furious!
"I don't wanna gooo" Melinda takes after me when I was young. I'm teaching her the ways of the annoying. She has this thing whenever she says that, where she slumps and her eyebrows go up and she takes shuffling steps. The gorilla walk's what I call it. Sniffle I'm so proud.
"I'm not even going!" I say to Evie
"But that's not fair! Mami I want to stay too" she says
"Tu sí vas a ir. (You are going)"
"But how come she gets to stay?" says Melinda
"She isn't staying. We're dropping her off dummy"
"Mami she called me dummy" Melinda points an accusing finger at Evie
"No se pueden quedar cayaditas por un momento?! (Can't you stay quiet for just a moment?!)" dear mommy gets frustrated when we fight. My parents and sisters are going to the park while I was being dropped off to the Chicago Academy for the Arts, where they are having a play. My friend Myya, is Reno in Anything Goes. She's also invited five others. Each of us are huge, and I mean huge, Newsies fans. We even have newsie nicknames!
Myya's 15, two months older than me, an actress and horse lover. She even has her own pony, Sierra, who used to be racehorse. She always has her newsie hat nearby, and if she can't find it, she's liable to tear the place apart looking for it. She also keeps her jacket with her at all times, even if it's summer. She stands at 5 foot 6 and has brownish red hair down to her shoulders, blue eyes and an angular face. She hates dresses, so she's lucky her charecter, Reno, is flexible enough to wear those longish pants. She had to beg the drama teacher but she said that it was "totally worth it". She wears this really nice necklace that has a dragon on it. She got it from her father who died when she was 7.
Jo's nickname is Sunrise. She has brown eyes and hair which is shoulder length. She's the oldest of the bunch, 17. She usually wears skirts and t-shirts but likes jeans and sweater best. Sunrise is 5'8 and loves to read.
Jenna or Seer is a sort of mystical/spiritual person. So she can read palms and tarot. She's 14 and 5 feet, with light brown hair, shoulder length and the most amazing eyes. They're gray, but they change to green to blue to gray. They also have bits of yellow so it's as if it's crawling outward from her pupils. Seer has a Native American necklace that she never takes off.
Apryl AKA Touchdown is 16 and 5 foot 3. She has green eyes and wears glasses. Touchdown keeps her long curly brown hair in a messsy bun usually. Especially in the summer cause in Chicago it is so freaking HOT! She also wears two rings and a turqouise necklace. The first she wears on her right thumb and it's a thick silver band with lizards going around it. The second is my personal favorite. The Calddagh Ring. It's a silver heart that's wearing a crown with hands holding it. We're always teasing her about it cause if you wear the ring with the heart outward and the crown inward it means your heart hasn't been taken yet. Guess how she wears it? We're always taking peeks at her ring, just waiting for it to change.
ELI! Or Marbles. She's 5 foot 4 and 15. She has red brown spiral curls, firery brown eyes and scar across her lower right arm that she got from a car accident. She absolutely loves jewelery and hats. Marbles even has this trunk in her bedroom that's full to the top with neatly stacked hats, which she takes out occasionally.
When we finally arrived at the school I was sick and tired of my sisters constant bickering. Me included of course. People can get sick of themselves right? My retorts were getting lame, I think I might be losing my touch. Tis a sad sad world we live in. Least I got to the play on time.
"Bye!" Evie called, and as the car pulled away stuck her tounge at me. In return I gave her the famous one-finger salute...to which an old lady gave me a dirty look. Jeez if looks could kill... I entered a darkened theatre and made my way to the middle of the audience. Late again.
"Hey watch it!" someone hissed
"Oops sorry"
"Chaos?"
"Yeah? Oh hey Marbles!"
"Shhh you'll get us kicked out"
"Can't I get a hello Seer?" I could almost hear her roll her eyes
"Hey Chaos. Sit. Myya's gonna do her solo" Sunrise said
"Okay okay" I sat down
"You're late" said a voice at my right
"Hi Touchdown, didn't see you there"
"Shhhhhh!" said a man behind us
My story is much too sad to be told,
But practically ev'rything leaves me totally cold
The only exception I know is the case
When I'm out on a quiet spree
Fighting vainly the old ennui
And I suddenly turn and see
Your fabulous face.
I get no kick from champagne.Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all,
So tell me why should it be true
That I get a kick out of you?
I'm sure that if I took even one sniff
That would bore me terrific'ly too
Yet I get a kick out of you.
You standing there before me.
I get a kick though it's clear to me
You obviously don't adore me.
I get no kick in a plane,
Flying too high with some guy in the sky
Is my idea of nothing to do,
Yet I get a kick out of you.

I know it was short but it was mostly just introductions of the charecters. FF might've eaten my italics ::crosses fingers:: please no!
