You know it, I don't own the newsies only the people who weren't in the movie.

Since school is out I'll be posting more. Please let me know what you think! Thank you to dicey-laur, ShortAtntionSpaz, Pancakes, and XBeLLaViTaX for reviewing when it was posted the first time. Because I writing it I might some character so keep looking to see if thereś a casting call. And I did redo the beginning, basically taking out the first part.

Chapter 1: Cat caught your tongue?

Kloppman climbed the old staircase of the Newsboys Lodging House, entered the bunkroom and started yelling for the young boys to wake up, so they could sell their papes. One by one the boys got up out bed after fighting for a few minutes of sleep.

"I see we got a new addition last night" he said stopping right next to the newsboy who didn't bother to pay his night's fare.

"Yes, Kloppman?" The newsboy looked up at the keeper of the Lodging House, trying to pull off the innocent what did I do face.

"Just make sure you pay before you leave this morning Spot."

"Will do." Spot said with that famous smirk laying across his lips.

Five minutes later

"Here you go Kloppman." Spot said handing Kloppman his night's fare.

"Thank you Spot, now make sure it never happens again." Kloppman said fatherly and with a smile, ushered the newsies out of the building.

"Hey Spot, when did you get here?" Mush came up to Spot and Jack Kelly's side.

"Sometime last night Mush. Why?" giving Mush the look of daring to challenge him.

"Oh, no reason. " Mush said backing off. Race and Blink came running up talking about some girl they had seen the night before. Blink had thought it looked like the mayor's daughter but Race thought she was too ugly to be.

A couple of minutes later they reached the distribution office of Pulitzer's paper. They walked up the ramp, to the window and waited for Weasel to open up. In the mean time Davy and Les had joined them.

"Hey Davy, Les" Jack said.

"Hey guys" Davy responded. Just then Weasel had opened up, yelling at the newsies to hurry up and buy their papes. As always they gave him and the Delancey's a hard time and as usual they would try to get at them with their sly remarks but that never worked. They all got their papes and looked at what headlines they would have to 'improve the truth' on.

"So you ready go sell some papes Jacky-boy" Spot asked.

"Of course Spot. And to make it interesting who ever finishes selling their papes last, that means getting to Tibby's last, has to buy the other lunch today" Jack wagered.

"You're on Kelly. I hope you brought enough money to buy two lunches today. It would be a mighty shame to see you washing dishes in the back because you couldn't afford it." which would happen sometimes if the newsies couldn't afford to eat for the day. Spot spit in his hand with an air of confidence, Jack copied him and they shaked hands.

"Last one at Tibby's buys lunch." Jack said and with that said they both rushed out of the distribution office. While their minds were too busy on selling out first, Spot didn't see the young girl walk right in front of him and when he did they both were on the ground with Spot's newspapers all scattered about.

"Hey, watch where you're going." Spot said angrily trying to gather all his fallen papes.

"I'm so sorry." the young girl apologized and helped him collect the papers.

"Just look whe-" Spot had stopped mid-sentence as he looked at the girl in front of him. "It's ok" staring into her eyes while she looked at him. The girl wasn't beautiful only cute in Spot's standards. But there was something about her eyes that made Spot get lost in them.

He broke the eye contact with her as he heard Jack say "You're getting off to great start there Conlon." and with that started running off.

"Shut up Kelly" he yelled at the retreating figure. By then the girl had collected all of his papes and was getting up. Spot saw her and start rising from the ground as well.

"I'm very sorry." she said hastily handing Spot his papes. Spot didn't even get to say anything because she started running off in the same direction of Jack and he stared after her.

"Wow, you sure got one special affect on the girls, now don't you Spot." Race joked while Mush and Blink didn't even bother stifling their laughter.

"Ya ya, now I got some papes I need to be selling." And with that headed off in the opposite direction of Jack and the girl.

At Tibby's around afternoon

"Hey look who finally graced us with his presence" a certain newsie joked.

"Ya ya, Kelly. I got it." Spot said sitting down across from a smiling Jack. "I would have won if that girl didn't bump into me in the beginning."

"Are you sure it was her that bumped into you because I could have sworn that you ran into her." Blink said with a bit of laughter erupting from the surrounding newsies.

"Ya, what was up with that Spot? First you're angry at her and could have given her a mouth full and then the next the cat caught your tongue!" Race said this time all the newsies started laughing at Spot's expense.

"Ok, I think we should all lay off Spot for awhile." Jack said trying to control his laughter, along with every other newsie.

"So Spot, how's Brooklyn?" Jack inquired. And the newsies were back to doing whatever it was before Spot came.

"The same Jacky-boy. Why?" Spot raised his eyebrow at Jack's question and looked at Jack with a serious face. Anything that might be a put down to Brooklyn of any sort, Spot would get defensive immediately. But Spot knew Jack was trying to get something out of him.

"Just wondering why you're here, that's all." Jack said

"Just need a change of scene for a couple of days and to catch up with my friends here in Manhattan." Sopt said nonchantly.

"Are you sure Spot?" Jack asked, a bit worried about his best friend.

"Ya" Spot stated with look of being dead serious in his eyes, he didn't want to talk about it. Jack studied his friend for a moment and decided to leave it at that.

"Well I think it's about time that we get out of here and go sell the afternoon edition." Jack said to all the newsies in Tibby's. "Thanks for lunch Spot." Jack said.

"Ya ya." was all Spot responded with. They all gathered their belonging and headed out of the door to sell the next edition. Spot was lagging behind the rest of the group, thinking about the girl from earlier this morning because he just couldn't get her out of him mind.
