Disclaimer: I do not own Newsies, though I really wish I could.

Anyway, second chapter is a bit longer than the first and sorry if it seems the story isn't going anywhere. Trust me, it will.

After Selling All the Pape's

Spot's POV

As we were walking down the street I heard me name being called and turned around.

"Hey Spot! Wait up!" Racetrack called.

I stopped and Nicole stopped beside me.

Race finally caught up to us and looked at Nicole "Who's dis?" he asked.

"Da name's Blade." Nicole said

"Why they calls you'se dat?"

"Cause I'se carry a few knives wid me." Blade took a blade out of her pocket and took off the leather covering that protected her and the knife. It gleamed silver in the sunlight. She slipped it back into the covering and put it back into her pocket. "Is that enough evidence for you?"

"Yes, sir." Race looked a bit nervous, like when he was loosing money betting on the races.

I thought about telling Race that Nicole (Blade) was a girl, and then forgot about it when I saw Mush Meyers and Kid Blink coming up behind Race.

"Hey." I said

"Who's dis?" Mush asked, looking Blade over.

"The names Blade. Who are you'se?"

Mush, Race and Kid Blink were staring at Blade. I noticed her hair had fallen out of her hat.

She quickly tried to hide it again, bit it was too late.

"You'se a goil?" Race asked.

"So what if she is a goil?" I asked.

"Well, I'm Mush Meyers, goily." Mush said, taking off his cap and bowing.

"And, I'se is Kid Blink." Kid said

Blade nodded her head at each of them.

"Well, we'se needs to be goin' back to da Brooklyn lodging house." I said. "We'll see you'se tomorrow." I began to walk off.

Blade waved at to Race, Mush and Kind, and then followed after me.

Regular POV

"Wow. Never seen Spot Conlon take to a goil like that." Race said once Spot and Blade had left.

"I'se didn't know a goil could take to Spot like that." Mush added.

"Well, they both see to be just as violent as the other." Kid explained.

"Shall we go then?" Asked Mush

Race and Kid nodded and they left for the Manhattan lodging house.

Spot's POV

"Here it is the Brooklyn lodging house." I said and held the door open for her.

Blade walked inside and I followed after her.

I walked over to the leader of the Brooklyn Newsies, Holding my cane that was tucked next to one of my red suspenders.

"Hey, Night, I'se brought you'se someone to help us out." I said bravely, smirking at him.

"And who would this guy be, Spot." Night said. He was usually out late at night so he had been given the name Night.

I walked back over to Blade and pushed her forward. "This is Blade Thompson."

Blade looked at Night and for a moment their eyes locked in a glare. "I'se is Blast and Blaze's sister." She explained and they finally broke their glare.

"Spot, if anyone else had brought her here, I'd think they was stupid, but you'se found a good one. She'll be a fine Newsie. On the other hand, she sleeps in your room, got it?"

I nodded my head. "Thanks Night." I grabbed Blade by the arm and we walked down the hall. "You'se lucky. He could have made ya bunk with da rest of da boys, but I have a free bed in me room." I said as I opened the door and we both walked in.

"Thanks Spot." Blade said as she said on the bed with no sheets on it, assuming that it would be hers.

"There's some extra blankets under da bed." I told her as I sat on my own bed.

Blade nodded and reached under the bed and laid a few blankets on the bed along with a pillow. She laid down on the bed and closed her eyes. "Night, Spot." She whispered

I laid on my bed. "Night." I said and I blew out the candle on the nightstand that was next to the headboard.
