--Also: I do not own newsies. DISNEY owns newsies. All characters that you don't recognize belong to me though, which I think is only Crystal so far. Also, if you claim this is 'your' story plot, I'm sorry. This is 'probably' a really popular plot but I have never read any like this so far.
Friends Reunite
Plot: Jack brings a long lost friend to the newsie lodging house because his friend is orphaned and homeless. Just so happens, his friend is a girl, and all the newsies starting hitting on her (especially one.. hmm...) What will happen to Jack's friendship?

Chapter 1
It was a cold, winter night, and all the newsies were getting ready for bed. Everyone was there except Jack.
"So where's Jack?" asked Mush while yawning, "He ain't been here all day!"
Kid Blink shivered. "I think he said hes gots some woik tah do, but its so cold, I don't see a reason not tah believe he ain't freezin' out deah."
"Don't worry about it, guys." Said Davey, "You know Jack, he's always out on his own, he'll be back tommorow. Anyways, I gotta get back to my house before it gets to late."
"Bye," the sleepy newsies said in unison.
So it ended up Jack didn't come back at all that night, not even while the newsies were sleeping. It was now the next morning, and all the newsies awoke from their slumber. Kloppman went around doing his usual rutine of waking everyone up. His voice wasn't the most pleasant thing to hear first thing in the mornings, but the newsies learned to live with it.
The circulation bell rang and all the newsies went to the desk to buy the morning edition. As Skitts stood in line, he saw Jack coming up to where the newsies where. "Hey look!" Skittery shouted, "It's Jacky-boy!" All the newsies turned around to look.
"Heya, Jack! Where ya been, eh?" shouted Race at the top of his smoke-filled lungs.
The newsies waited for Jack to come over. "Heya guys!" he said, "Did ya miss me?"
"Where tha heck have you been?" scolded Race. "Yesterday's headlines were great! Ya could'a sold a hundred papes. In fact, Crutchy ova heah just did so, ain't that right Crutchy?"
"Oh, I feel so terrible I missed out on dah opportunity," replied Jack sarcastically. "Anyways, dere's more 'portant things. Guys, I'd like ya teh meet my friend, Crystal."
A tall, dark haired girl came around the corner and there was a stir among the newsies. A few comments were made like, "Well ain't she fine", "It's gettin' hot in heah!" And Mush's usual one, "I'm in heaven!"
"Crystal," said Jack, "Dese is da newsies. Guys, Crystal's gonna stay wit us for a while cause she's got some problems at woik and all dat. So, Crystal, the distribution desk is over deah and the lodgin' house is over dere." Jack was pointing out where everything was, like Ivring Hall and Tibby's.
Crystal was a beautiful girl of the age of sixteen. She was slim with strait, brown hair and had green eyes and a turned up nose. Her skin was very fair and delicate. Even though she seemed helpless on the outside, she was tough on the inside. Crystal had learned to live with a lot. At the young age of four, her parents had died and she went to go live with her uncle. Her uncle was obusive, so she ran away to live with Jack, her best friend during her childhood. Jack didn't have anyone to live with either, since his mother had died and his father was in prison. So they both had a little area in the park where they would sleep and hang out, even though the park visitors strongly disliked orphans running around all the time. As Crystal grew older, she worked as an assistant to a news reporter for Hearst, but now came to work as a newsie since she lost her job.
"Ok Crystal," said Jack casually, " Do ya got any money tah buy your papes? If ya don't I can lend ya some."
"Nah, I'll be fine. Anyway's, I wasn't gonna buy that many papes in the first place. And I don't want to make you go out of your way for me," replied Crystal sweetly.
"But Crys, I care for yah. I know you'se ain't got much, so lemme buy your foist papes."
"No, seriously, you don't have to."
"Yes," he paused, "I do." Then he smiled at her with that pouty look he always did, "I'se gotta help my favorite goil."
Then Crystal tried to keep a blank expression, but then starting laughing. "Oh, Jack, you big flirt!" Both starting laughing as Jack bought her papes and then set off to sell together.
