So I forgot to give credit where credit is do. Disney owns the Newsies and any new character I came up with. I hope you enjoy this chapter, it is a little longer than the last. Oh if you find any mistakes please let me know so I can fix them. Though if it is someone speaking it is probably meant to sound that way.


Laces never sold by her self; Brooklyn was just not a safe place. Some of the time she would sell with her best friend Spot. And some of the time she would sell with her next closest friend Tiger. Though not yet as good at selling the volume of the other two she was getting there.

Today had been a great day for her. She was finally able to sell all 50 papes without any help. Laces also sold out before Tiger did, which was also a first for her. And she couldn't wait to tell Spot all about it. She knew he would get a kick out of her selling out before the next top seller in Brooklyn, even if she did have less papes than Tiger did. Spot would humor her.

As usually when the Brooklyn newsies were finished selling they hang out at the docks. So that was where Tiger and Laces were heading. Laces knew she would find Spot in his usual place on tops of crates further down the dock and that is where she was headed. As she drew close to Spot she noticed he was talking to a newsies she had never met, this didn't stop her from yelling to Spot.

"Spot, guess what? I'se sold all me papes before Tiger did. I'se did good didn't I'se!" She walked pass the unknown newsies all the while smiling at Spot.

Giving a little laugh Spot looked up to the happy Laces. "Yeah Laces, you'se did good. You'se on the way to becoming one of my best newsies." Spot couldn't help but smile at her. Now that he had gotten her to open up some she was a bright person that was happy with the little tings in life. "I'se like ya to meet me good friend and leader of the Manhattan newsies Jack Kelly."

Laces turned around and her mouth dropped right open. Missing her reaction, Spot continued on with the introductions. "Jack this is Laces."

"Frankie?" Laces spoke.

"Mary?" Jack spoke at the same time as Laces.


Jack Kelly, leader of Manhattan was stopping by to see his good friend Spot. Since the strike they had made a point of seeing each other more often. But he hadn't seen Spot in a while and wanted to make sure things were fine in Brooklyn. Little did he know that it was because of a girl that Spot found outside in the cold that kept him away.

Jack found Spot in his normal spot atop his crates keeping an eye on all of his boys. Upon seeing Jack, Spot jumped down and greeted his friend.

"What brings you to me parts, Jacky-boy?" while Spot spits into his and holds it how to Jack.

Following Spot's actions Jack spits into his hand and sakes Spot's hand. "Just seeing how things are going in your neck of the woods."

Spot began to tell Jack the things going on in Brooklyn when they were interrupted by a female voice calling to Spot. Suddenly a female appeared behind Jack telling Spot how well she did selling that day. As Spot began to introduced them, he couldn't believe who was had just turned around to face him.

"Frankie?" Laces spoke.

"Mary?" Jack spoke at the same time as Laces.
