"Who died and made you queen Cocktail?" Sasha asked me.She has always been a good friend to me. For now we call her Brush, because she is a great painter. She hopes to make it as an artist one day. Anyway....
"Really. Guys, guys, guys. Is that all you think about?" Sweets started. Her real name would be Sarah, but nobody calls her that. Well, except me, when she makes me mad. I don't really know why I call her Sweets. I guess she needed a nickname and some guy called her Sweetheart, and we used that. Although, it's Sweets for short.
"Of course it is." Joker replied for me, as I gave her that 'shut up' look. Joker was really Kelsey, she got that name because she really is a Joker. She can brighten anyone's day, or tick them off a lot, it all depends.
But us girls were not to be messed with. We were all great fighters, taught by the newsies themselves. This is what everyone knew for a fact too. We are a tight group, and are always there for each other.
"Come on girls. I told Jack we'd meet him. We're supposed to sell wit him, and da odda Manhattan Newsies." I started.
"Jack." They all said with a sigh, as if I was obsessed or something.
"Now dat's da guy she always thinks about." Brushsaid as da others nodded.
"Shut up." I replied as we all laughed and walked down the street.
Besides, Jack was my boyfriend, it wasn't like none of us didn't have one. Me and Jack are very happy, we act the same way so we are perfect for each others.(So Sweets says) Joker has been with Mush for I don't know how long, and they are great together. Brush and Davey have a good relationship. They are always by each other. Sweets and Race are a cute couple. Sweets has learned to deal with Race's betting problem, unlike other girls, and Race likes that. If we aren't watching out for each other, the guys are watching out for us. They are all great.
For some backround info, we are all Newsies too. We have our own lodging house, and we sell for 'The World' like the boys. We usually sell with them, but sometimes we sell by ourselves.
"You think Dave will be there?" Brush asked and we all nodded.
"Why? It's not like...." I started
"Shh! Listen!" Joker said as we all turned around.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Let me go! Get off!"
"Who was that?" Sweets asked.
"Beats me." Joker laughed. "Get it? Beats?"
"Shut up Joker." Brusk said.
"It came from over there." I said
"Look!"
As we all turned around to look, we saw a girl surronded by two guys. It looked like she was having a little trouble.
"Da Dalanceys." I replied with a sigh. " Let's go take care of them."
"Ok."
When we got done beating up the Dalanceys, we all came out a little banged up. Brush got a sore jaw, I got a black eye, Joker got a broken finger, and Sweets had a scratch on her arm.
"Are ya ok hun?" Brush asked the girl while rubbing her jaw.
"Yes, I will be fine. Thank you." The girl replied.
"What's your name kid?" Sweets asked.
"Nicole, but my friends call me Dream."
"Ok, well Dream, ya comin with us or not?" Joker asked her and she nodded.
"We'll get youse back goils!" We heard the Dalanceys shout in a distance.

When we got to the Lodging House, Kloppman said the guys had already left. So we went to the Distrabution center.
"Heya Kelly! Couldn't wait any longer for us? What's with that?" I yelled from the street.
"Looks like your goils mad at ya Cowboy." Race told Jack, as Jack smiled at me. I couldn't help but smile back.(Come on you know what he looks like!)
The girls each went up to their guy and gave them a hug or a kiss.
