" Next Stop, New York." The train conductor called out.

Knots sat in her seat on the train and looked out the window at the scenery that was rushing by.

Knots found herself nervous. It had been five years since she last saw Jack Kelly. Sure she saw him in her dreams, and her memories, but she hadn't been able to go back to New York.. until now.

Brandie and herself hadn't escaped the boarding house that night, and it was just the start of their many failed attempts.

She was now 17 years old and longed to be with Jack more than ever.

"Don't I need a nickname like you Knots?" Brandie asked.

Brandie was going with Knots to New York to become a Newsie.

" Hmm, Yea. Lets think of one." Knots said tapping her chin.

" How about Princess?" Brandie said.

Knots laughed.

" No, No. It can't be something like that. It has to have a reason behind it."

" Oh." Brandie said trying not to look embarrassed.

The waiter on the train came by and brought Brandie the milkshake that she had ordered earlier.

" I've got it!" Knots exclaimed. "Milkshake"

" I love it!" Brandie smiled.

The rest of the way to New York Knots educated Milkshake of the ways of the Newsies. She told her everything she needed to know. She even taught her to speak with a New York accent.

" Ok so when you meet the other Newsise, don't curtsey!" Knots said sternly.

" What do I do then." Milkshake said confused.

" Ya spit in your own hand, then shake theirs."

Brandie beamed. I can tell I'm gonna love being a Newsie. For once I don't have to act like a damn Priss.

" So uh Knots, I know about Jack, but about the other guys?"

" What about em?"

" Wells can ya tell me about em?" Milkshake said practicing her accent. She was quite good at it too.

" Hmm ok, but remember there gonna be different now. Well I think."

" Maybe they wont. C'mon just tell me."

"ok ok. Well theres Mush. He was 10 when I left. He was so sweet and has such a puppy dog face. He was always charming the Ladies. He would pick flowers from the park and then give em to goils he saw on the street. Then there's Racetrack. He got his name because he always goes to Sheepshead to bet on the hoises. He's was quite a lil gambler. He hung out with Jack and I a lot.

Knots looked at Milkshake and noticed she was blushing.

" Crutchy." Knots continued. "Was a good friend of mine also. Jack taught him how to be a newsie after his parents died. They call him crutchy because he walks with a crutch...obviously."

Knots continued on about Kid Blink, Spot, and the others. Before she knew it Milkshake had dozed off and she soon did too.

She was awoken by the train conductor.

" Manhattan!" He yelled.

She realized the train was stopped.

" Milkshake" she said shaking her friend lightly. "We're here. I'm home!"

Yay ok Brandie and Knots didn't escape but she's back to New York now. You'll soon find out all the little details and stuff so stay tuned! I will have another chapter up very soon!
