Chapter 2
Dream Come True
Ravenwood's Point Of View
I sat up rubbing my eyes. I was in some sort of alley…alone. It had been the strangest thing, suddenly the computer screen had started to blur and shift and then it was growing, and growing, and it seemed to be coming out of the frame, or maybe I was getting smaller? And now I was stuck here…alone…in a creepy alley. Ok, fine, it's not that creepy, judging from the sun it's only about 6:30am but still, what happens when the day passes and its 9:00 or 10:00 at night? I shivered at the thought. I had to get home somehow. Suddenly I heard screaming, but it was coming…from above? That couldn't be right. But it was getting louder, and louder, and…suddenly something came falling from the sky and hit the ground with a "thud". The person sat up and looked around. She was dressed quite near the same as me, in newsboy clothes with a bit of a girlish flair. She had average length dark blond hair, or was it light brown? And green eyes. She looked like she was 15 or 16. She was muttering to herself.
"Okay Cel, now you've really done it" then she turned around and saw me "who are you?"
"Um, I'm Ravenwood, but you can call be Raven."
Suddenly her eyes got very wide. "Ravenwood? Raven? Oh crap."
"What?" I asked confused
"Erm, I'm Celena…as in Cel…as in Horseland"
Now it was time for me to yell "oh crap"
Then we heard screaming…from above. The person that came this time was a tall girl who looked to be about 17; she had very dark hair and brown eyes.
"OUCH!" she yelled as she hit the ground, Cel and I ran over to help her up.
"And who might you be?" I asked, "I'm Ravenwood and she's Celena"
"What? Ravenwood? Celena? As in Horseland?" asked the girl
"Yup" answered Celena
"Oh well, I'm Paloosh"
Cel whistled. "Who's next? I'm going to guess, I'm guessing Seagull"
Just as she said that more screaming was heard and two girls fell out of the sky at the same time. Paloosh, Cel, and I helped the two girls to their feet and were soon introduced. The one with red hair, green eyes, and freckles was Nanners, and the one with blonde hair and blue eyes was Seagull.
"Now all we need is Trignifty and Folly Foal" commented Nanners with a grin. 30 seconds later all five girls heard screaming…yet again. The new arrival was a girl who looked to be about 20 with wavy black hair and green eyes.
"Well…I don't think that's Trig, because she said that she was 15 so I think it's Folly" whispered Seagull to me.
"Yup, I'm Folly Foal…but how did you know?" she asked looking up.
"Well it was you, me, Cel, Raven, Sea, and Trig in the arena when it happened and now all of us are here except Trig." Answered Paloosh
"Hmmm, well how on earth-" Folly was cut off by screaming and a few seconds later a girl who looked to be about fifteen landed in the middle of the alley. She was dressed in the same style as the rest of us. She had blue eyes and her brown hair was braided into two braids, on her head was a newsboy's cap that looked extremely cute. She sat up and looked at us; I extended my hand to help her up.
"Hi, I'm Ravenwood, from Horseland; I'm guessing you're Trignifty?"
"Yeah, Trignifty, but, how did you know?" she asked
"Lucky guess" I shrugged my shoulders grinning
"Riiiiiiiiiight" she said sarcastically "anyway, where are we?"
No one knew, we sat down and tried to think of any possible ideas, none came to mind. Suddenly we heard singing.
Look! They're puttin' up the headline You call that a headline? I get better stories From the copper on the beat! I was gonna start at twenty Now a dozen'll be plenty Tell me, how'm I gonna make ends meet?
We ran to the end of the alley and saw that it led to a large square with a statue of Horace Greenly, and in front were the gates to the New York World. Folly, Sea, Trig and I all gasped, it was New York! Except in 1899! When Newsies took place! I could dance and scream and yell and sing right now, I was in Newsies!
Suddenly all of us turned to see a crowd of gorgeous newsboy's coming around the corner, singing and dancing, led by an even more gorgeous leader. It was Jack Kelly! Christian Bale, but still seventeen and unmarried! And the only person in the way was Sarah. It was a dream come true.
