Forced Education
By: Sparks Diamond
About: The newsies are forced to go to school. Will they go or will they get kicked out into the street?
DISCLAIMER: Yeah, I dun own Newsies. I own the made up people.
"Get up!", Kloppman yelled. "Get up! Sell a pape! Get up!."
The newsies groaned and got up. It was tough waking up early.
"Kid Blink," Racetrack called. "Go wake up yer girlfriend."
Kid Blink walked over to the other side of the room where Sparks, his girlfriend, sleeped. He told her to get up and when she refused for the 8th time, he picked her up and put her on the floor.
"Start walkin'," he ordered playfully.
Sparks stuck out her tongue at him, got up and headed to the bathroom.
The newsies headed toward the distribution office together. Sparks bought her papes and had now started walking toward her selling spot. Before she got there, the Delancey brothers grabbed her and threw her into an alley.
" To what do I owe dis pleasure, boys," she asked.
" Somethin' is goin' to happen to you and your little street rat friends," Oscar warned.
"Yeah," Sparks asked. " What would dat be?."
The Delanceys just laughed and charged at Sparks. Quickly, she droped her papes and got ready to fight. She ducked and Oscar flew right over her shoulder. She grabbed Morris and kneed him right where it hurts. Unexpectadly, Oscar grabbed her from behind and held her arms. Morris got ready to hit. Sparks used all of her power to kick Morris right in the face. Then, she flipped Oscar over her shoulder which caused him to fly into the wall. Sparks looked around. Both brothers lying unconcious next to each other. She picked up her papes and walked off.
"Time to sell," she said to herself.
After a hard day of selling papes, the newsies met up at the lodging house. When they walked in, they were greeted by 16 policemen.
"What's happenin'," Jack asked.
"SIT," a cop ordered. "Now!."
The newsies sat down on the couches or on the floor. One of the cops came forward.
" I am here to tell you that there is a new law," he said.
"What are youse talkin' bout," Racetrack asked.
The cop introduced himself as Officer Brynton. Then he made sure all the doors were blocked.
" We have a new law, he announced. "All of you street rats must go to school. Mr. Pulitzer does not want you selling newspapers anymore. If you do not go to school, you will be put in the refuge."
