Disclaimer: I do not own Newsies. I own Knots and that is it!

The Newsboys all sat in the bunkroom playing a game of gin, due to Knots's request. Many of them wanted to play poker, but Jack told them that because it was her birthday, Knots got to pick the game.

"Gin" Knots said laying down her cards with a grin.

Several boys groaned.

"You always win"

"That's because she's the only one who knows how to play."

Knots smiled proudly.

Jack leaned back in his chair and sighed. "Oh hey listen fellas, Medda wanted me to propose an idea to youse."
The boys leaned in closer.

"I hope it's another party."

"Nah, nah. She's looking for a new act"

"You're all wrong." Jack sighed. "Medda….Medda…" he couldn't get the words out.

"Medda wants to have a dance contest!" Knots squealed.

The boys all stared blankly at her.

"She said there'll be prizes." Knots said in a sly, tantalizing tone.

Suddenly the room filled with excited chatter.

"So ya'll in for it then?" Knots not hearing an objections took it as a yes. "great! We'll let Medda know tomorrow and she'll have the details out."

Ok so sorry this was such a short chapter and sorry it took so long to update! I've been uber busy, but luckily it's spring break! Hopefully I'll be able to update a few times this week. So I have the results of the casting call and they are:

Cakes- Pie Eater

Cali-Griffin

Hornet- Specs

Zodiac-Bumlets

Filly-Skittery

Jinx- Kid Blink ( Spots sis)
Hope- David

So what I'm thinking is that each chapter will be focused on a different Newsie and how he finds the dancing partner…or maybe not, I'll see how it goes lol. Anyway Thanks for reading ya'll and again I'm sorry it took so long to update!
