"The NML is short for the Newsie Mailing List." Nicole explained.

"How'd you get your name?" Tara asked. She tucked a loose piece of hair behind her ear.

"Well I like Skittery." She sighed. "And I wanted a synonym for it and Jittery was formed"

"Awesome, but Mush is so sexy! I love his abs!" this came from the formally know Chloe. The rest of the girls agreed.

"Ah! My favorite it has to be Jack! But what can my name be!" Rose huffed and crossed her arms on her chest. Then Tara poked Rose in the side a made her squeal. "Stop Tara! You're such a tease!"

"That's it! Tease will be my newsie name!" she came to the conclusion and poked Rose again.

"Geez will you stop!" Once is never enough, though. "I'm trying to consider a newsie name."

"Hmm, mine will be…Fantasy. You all know I love to daydream and read books." Suggested Maureen.

"Its suits you well!" Taps concluded. "Hey anyone want anything from the kitchen I'm grabbing another pop." Bunch of 'yes's' and 'grab me one's' were heard.

"Now that most of us figured out our newsie names can we start on the project?" asked Tease. They only had 4 days to gather all the information and present it.

"I've got something that might help yinz." Jittery raced up to her room. She rummaged through her nightstand until she found it. Then brought it back down stairs. "Here you go"

"What's that?" asked Taps. She was re-entering the room, her hand full of pop cans.

"That, my friends, is a diary of a Newsie." Awesome, people thought. "That diary dates back to 1899 and goes well into the 1920s. My grandmother gave it to me and told me that it's magical or something." The girls' faces lit up at the sound of that. "But nothing's happened so far. She could have been making it up." Fantasy opened the book. As she did the girls crowded around her to get a glimpse. It was old, tattered, and smelled of must. The writing was fading but you could still make it out.

"July 4, 1899, Happy Independence Day! You were given to me from my high school friend. Since I will no longer be attending school he told me that this would help keep myself straight. Don't ask me how often I'll write in you. This might be the only time. Tomorrow I start working. Working as a Newsie. Les and I are going out to the help the family because Pop got hurt in the factory. They fired him immediately. Sara's putting out the candle so I must say goodbye." She read the first entry.

"Maureen, I mean Fantasy," Taps started, "This is the diary of David Jacobs. Jack Kelly's right hand man!" They squealed.

"That's incredible." Ariel noted. "But I wonder what is the magic behind it." Then the girls flipped through the pages. He obviously wrote more, more than he intended because every page was full.

"Oh guys I was just thinking. What happens if the magic thing could takes us back in time"

"That would be amazing. Imagine the killer research we could come by!" added Tease.

"Who cares about the research, if we went back in time then that means, …" she sighed. "We can meet the boys." Rose pointed out. She took almost fainted at the thought of meeting Jack.

"Calm down, we need to figure out the what the magical thing is and if it is time travel." Taps told the girls. She was right. Technically they didn't know if there even was a thing magical in the book or if it was time travel.

"Hey guys look at this!" shrieked one of the girls. "It's the clipping from the movie!" Awesome! Ariel began to read it. She noticed her hands were slowing disappearing from the paper.

"Ah! Guys I think we found the magical part. Grab on to me!" All 5 did and Ariel continued reading. When she was done, she looked to discover that they were no longer in Jittery's living room and the paper was gone.

"Where are we?"

"Youse in New York City." The person behind them drawled with an accent. Scared them all half to death.

"Year?" another girl asked"

"1899." He replied and they gasped.

Well what did you think? Leave ya in suspense? Lemme know and review please!
