There's a Story Behind a Story

by Theatrekitkat

This is a Story following the life of Katherine. I have wondered what would happen if Disney had kept the characters in the original movie they decided to cut? But also had the character of Katherine as well? Here's how I imagined it happening. Katherine/OC (Bryan Denton)

18. Chapter 18

Katherine was able to catch up with the boys. They were all sitting around drinking waters at Jacobi's Deli. She knew this place well. Her father would bring her here to eat lunch here when they spent days at The World. She stopped in the door and eavesdropped on the boys. Unsure whether or not they'd allow her to tell their story.

The dark haired blow heart who had written STRIKE across the board was standing and talking with the boys.

"So what's next?"

"Well Jackie now we have to spread the word. Let the rest of the city's newsies know about the strike."

Jack, the dark-haired boy slapped the boy who just spoke on the back.

"You heard Davey, let's go out and spread the word!"

All the boys started break off and talk about different areas they could cover.

"I'll take Harlem!"

"Oh, I got Midtown."

"We can take the Bronx."

"Oh I got The Bowery."

"Ok what else we got?... Lets see….Specs, you take Queens. Romeo, you take the East Side. And who wants Brooklyn?"

All the boys became silent and avoided eye contact with Jack...Which was such a stark contrast to their previously rowdy behavior.

"C'mon, Brooklyn, Spot Conlon's turf. Hey, Finch, you're tellin' me you're scared of Brooklyn.

A blonde boy around 15 stood up making himself look tough.

"Hey! I ain't scared a' no turf. Just… y'know, Spot Conlon makes me a little jittery."

Jack looked around seeing that no one wanted to come face to face with Spot Conlon.

"Fine, me and Davey'll take Brooklyn."

"Me?"

"Yeah."

Katherine had waited long enough she took a deep breath and walked into the room dramatically and interrupted the boys

"Why is everyone so scared of Brooklyn?"

All the boys eyes turned on her. The one who had been speaking got up. He walked over to her giving Katherine a look up and down.

"Well hey there sweetheart...What are you doing here?"

Katherine internally rolled her eyes at this young man.

"Easy there kiddo...I'm just asking a question."

She got really close to his face

"Have you got an answer?"

Just as the young man was about to answer Katherine heard a voice from behind her. A very familiar voice….
