Disclaimer: I don't own Newsies but if you would like to buy me the rights from Disney it would be the best Christmas present ever!

A/N in order for this story to make sense I needed to invent a country. This country is called terre de chanton or songland. If you want to know the history of songland or the reason you should PM me. This may come up in the story so if you want to be surprised don't ask. Songland is located west of England, between Ireland and France. Songlandians speak both French and Gaelic. ENJOY! More Than Brooklyn

Once upon a time, Far far away in La Terre de Chanton, or Song land, a baby girl was born. She was not any ordinary girl. This child, named Catalina Marie Conlon, was a princess.

Her father, King Dylan the first was very happy. He and Catalina's mother, Queen Audrey had been hoping for a daughter for a very long time. King Dylan beamed as he held baby Catalina and whispered, " Bail ó Dhia ort iníon".

The door to their room snapped shut and a 17 year old boy marched away from the happy family. No Catalina's brother was not happy at all.

As a baby , Catalina had a wonderful life. She had two parents who loved her, and her brother lived in his own castle far away. She had a nurse named Hannah who's only job was to play with her, tell her stories and sing to her. Catalina, who soon came to be known as Lina was loved by almost everyone who met her. As Princess Lina grew from a baby, to a toddler, to a smiling, bubbly four year old, everything in her life was perfect.

Now I know that you all are thinking awww isnt that sweet, the perfect little girl with the perfect little family lives the perfect little life in the perfect little country inside the perfect little world.

But as all who live long enough come to realize, perfection rarely stays for long, and all things must come to an end…………

A/N this is my first ever fanfiction so please review and let me know if this is any good or if I am wasting my time! I promise to give shoutouts to any and all reviewers. CASTING CALL! later in the story I will need several Brooklyn newsies mostly guys but a few girls would be ok too please send me some characters that I can add in!

last thing, I would like there to be some reoccurring Gaelic phrases and stuff in this story but seeing as I don't speak Gaelic if anyone knows of a website with lots of good translations please let me know!
