I don't own newsies. Any character in here that didn't appear in the movie, is mine as of this point. yes thank you.
Ok So I read through Past Comes Again story. I have made my own author's notes to myself on what I need to work on and hope that you guys can help me along the way, such as telling me if you think something doesn't seem right, you know consrutive critism. I know I'm bad at spelling and I'm hoping to fix that.
Note: This chapter isn't the best, I just had to get things out there, description stuff and what not so ya. I will fix it later when I have a better idea of how to do it.
Chapter 1:
The strike had ended a couple of weeks ago. The newsies were back to selling their papes and improving the truth. They were glad that they could make a living again and were glad to be back on the streets interacting with their usual customers. Or should we say the girls. The boys were not just selling their papes, but were flirting with the girls, dating them and some even had some night time activities with them. Of course, they all retold their version of how the strike went just to impress the opposite sex.
One morning the Manhattan boys were standing outside The World gates waiting for them to open so they could buy their papes. Weasel was long gone but the Delancy brothers were still trying to pick fights the newsies. Ever since the strike ended the Delancy's hate was no longer of jealousy towards the newsies but of anger for the lost of their jobs.
People started slowly filling the streets. Some were making their way to work while others enjoyed their morning walk because they had the privilege of not living a rough life.
"What's taking them so long to open up?" Mush asked.
"No clue." Blink said.
"Hey Blink, how did your date go with the one brunette last night?" Snitch asked. You could tell he wanted the details.
"O you know. The same. The dinner, the walk, the alleyway at night." Blink said with a smile on his lips.
"O the alleyway. Way a go man!" Race said through all the hoots and haulers everyone was shouting at Blink.
"Ya. I know." Blink said gloating. He had a huge smirk on his face proud of his new conquest. The yelling had died down and they were still waiting for the gates to open.
"I swear, even as much as I hate to admit, even Weasel was on time." Specs commented. The new guy that was now in charge of handing out the papes to the newsies was always late. No matter what day of the week it was, he always seemed to be late. And always in a frenzy when he arrived.
"I know." Dutchy said a little annoyed with the guy.
"Hey look over there." Snoddy said to Pie, Specs and Dutchy. What he was looking at was a group of four girls walking pass the gates. Snoddy, got a smile on his face and nodded his head for the others to follow. The four boys walked about ten feet from the rest of the newsies and stood in front of the girls.
The girls had stopped because one of them noticed that their shoe lace was untied and wanted to tie before she tripped on it. The three girls who were waiting for their friend looked at the boys while the other one didn't notice the new company.
"Hello there angels." Snoddy said taking off his hat. The others followed his lead and the rest of the newsies noticed the interaction that was being made between their friends and the young ladies. The one girl who was tying her shoe snapped her head up to the line of fellows that now stood in front of her. Pie was standing to the right of the Snoddy, Dutchy to the left and then Specs next to him. She looked down and quickly finished tying her shoe and stood up.
She noticed that the boys in front of her where all pretty tall and quite handsome. Guys she knew who would never hit on her.
"Hello handsome." a girl about 5'6" brunette hair and brown eyes said. She had the aura as a goddess and looked like one too. She was the one out of the four that always got the man. She slept with a few guys but still had her standards. "My name is Aimee." she said, standing across Snoddy, when her hands on her hips.
"Well Aimee, I'm Snoddy, this is Pie Eater to my right, Dutchy to my left and Specs." He held out his hand and Aimee accepted it. He bent down and kissed it gently. He looked at her and winked.
"This is Tiffany." She was only an inch shorter than Aimee, had blonde hair and hazel eyes. She had curves any guy would approve of and she would use it to her advantage. She too looked like a goddess , Aphrodite to be exact. When it came to relationships, she didn't care. As long as the guys gave her presents and the sex was good, that's all she really cared about and expected. She was standing right in front of Pie.
"This is Lynn." It was the girl how was tying her shoe Dutchy noticed the girl in front of him. She seemed a bit unaware of what was happening. She had ash blonde hair and blue-gray eyes. She wasn't tall, it looked like she just passed the five feet. Unlike the other two girls, she didn't have the figure or attitude of goddess. She was shy and naive when it came to the opposite sex. She had a couple of dates and one serious relationship at one time but other than that she would be considered inexperienced.
"And Hayley." Aimee finished introducing the girls. Hayley had dark brown hair and green eyes. She wasn't as tall as Aimee of Tiffany burt wasn't short like Lynn. She too was like Lynn where didn't look like a goddess but she still never failed to attracted any guy. She wasn't naive when it came to the opposite sex but nor did she she really trust them. She had her heart broken a few times and that made her a little cynical to the male species.
"It's very lovely meeting you girls." Pie said. "Where you headed?"
"Work." Hayley said. She wasn't happy but she wasn't angry either at the interruption. Just because she wasn't thrilled with guys didn't mean she still couldn't look.
"O Work. So were we." Specs spoke this time.
"Your newsies?" Lynn asked but more stated it as a fact.
"Yes." Dutchy said smiled at Lynn. "And what do you do?"
"We work at shop." Lynn said.
"And what kinda shop would that be?" Pie now spoke.
"We repair clothing and wash it. And dry it." Tiffany said, looking at Pie the whole time.
"Jack, what are those four doing?" Race said with a laugh. They all had been interested in what their four friends were doing, but was commenting on their pick up skills.
"Ya, like you could do any better Race." Mush said and the surrounding newsies laughed lightly. Jack saw the short one grabbed at her shirt, like she was grabbing her heart. She soon grabbed her back.
"What's wrong?" Hayley whispered looking at her. Lynn looked at her and the all the newsies.
"Something just feels wrong."
"Wrong how? Something with the newsies?" she said still whispering. Aimee and Tiffany hadn't noticed but Dutchy, Specs and various of other newsies took notice.
"No, not the newsies. Just something." Lynn said taking a deep breath. She straightened herself and let her hands fall back down to her sides. "I'm ok. Just forget about it." She looked at Dutchy.
"So, how would the four lovely ladies like to go out sometime with us." Lynn, Hayley, Specs and Dutchy now heard Snoddy say.
"We would love to." Aimee said obviously flirting Snoddy and looking him up and down.
"Great. How about we meet you four here tomorrow around six?"
"That's great. We'll be here." Tiffany said this time.
"Great. We'll see you then." The boys started saying bye to the girls.
"Bye." Dutchy said nicely giving Lynn a smile and small wave.
"Bye" Lynn said to him softly giving a shy smile. Her eye contact broke with him when she heard her name being yelled.
"Lynn!" she looked over and saw a younger boy running towards her. "Lynn!" he yelled one more time before reaching her. The four newsies started walking back to their spot in line but were curious as to what was happening. Aimee, Tiffany and Hayley all stood behind Lynn, once again waiting for her so they could go to work.
"What's wrong Tommy?" Lynn asked. The little boy that ran up to her was her brother. He looked like a male version of her. Ash blonde hair and blue-gray eyes. You could tell that when he grew he would be a heart breaker.
"Witch says" Tommy rolled his eyes "that you better not come home late tonight, otherwise she'll take away your dinner. And she says she's been craving oranges. So she wants you to bring home some as well." Lynn let out a sigh at the fact that she had more chores to do.
She turned to Hayley behind her.
"That's what was wrong." Lynn said, not too happy. She turned back to Tommy. His eyes were almost level with hers. "Ok, alright. It's not like she's the one cooking dinner, I am. Ok, get back home, I'll take care of it. I'll see you tonight, alright?"
"Ya." Tommy said.
"Ok, go." she said and he ran off. She turned to the other girls. Aimee and Tiffany seemed rather annoyed at the held up.
"What?" Lynn asked the two.
"We're going to be late." Tiffany said.
"You could have gone ahead and I would have caught up." she said.
"Whatever. Let's go." Aimee said and her and Tiffany started walking off. Lynn walked up to Hayley and they started following the other two.
"Someone has her underwear in a twist." the newsies heard Lynn say.
"Well you two did a good job." Blink said pointing to Pie and Snoddy. "But you two." he said now looking at Dutchy and Specs. "What was up with you two? You seemed uninterested the whole time." he was waiting for a respond and so were the other newsies. But as luck had it they didn't have to answer. The distribution man came running up.
"Sorry." he told the newsies. He opened the gate and ran up the ramp that led to the office. He quickly got all his things together as the newsies filed into the center. He opened the counter and was ready to sell the newsies their papes.
