there n just add it in in your imagination. Enjoy!*
*~*Part 1: Carrying The Banner*~*
"Wake up! Wake up! Loud and proud, carryin' da bannah!" Skittery yells
banging the bars of the bunk beds. The Newsies mumble and groan yearning for
their extra few minutes of sleep back. "Ahh shaddup!!!" Kid Blink yelled and
punched Skitery in the leg while he passed by.
"Hey! whyIoutta..." Skittery hobbled over to Blink's bed and was ready to
beat the daylights outta him.
"Hey cool it bois, cool it" Jack shouted and broke apart the fight.
"Mornin' Jack" Mush shouted.
"Hey how ya doin Jack?" Race said
"Like any otha day Race...carryin da bannah right?"
Racetrack laughed. "Right".
The Newsies got dressed in their best and went out ready to face another day
of selling papes. "Oohhh Mista Weasel!!!!" Jack singsonged through the window.
"How many times must I tell ya...it's Weisel!!" Weisel barked.
The guys snickered, "Yeah yeah yeah...whatevah ya say Weasel...just give me
da usual." Weisel sneered as Jack and a scabber passed him his papers, "Now beat
it" he said.
"Been a pleasure..." Jack said sarcastically and sat down to read his pape.
"Hey guys"
The newsies all looked up and in walked in Davey with his little brother Les.
"Heya Davey" Mush said and made room on the ledge for him.
"Can anyone spot me 2 bits?" Davey asked.
"Yeah I can," Jack said "Hey Race spot me 2 bits." Racetrack looked up and
flicked a coin at him. "There ya go" Jack said and laughed.
"Anymore bitz in there for me?" a girl's voice asked. The newsies looked up
and took off their hats. Right before them was a brown haired, brown eyed girl
of 17...her corset and pinnafore dusty and her skirt...dirty and torn was ripped
in a large slit up to her thigh and her skirt was a bit higher than her black
boots. Whistles and cat calls filled the air, "hummina, hummina, hummina..."
Specs said fanning himself with his hat.
Kid Blink smiled and stepped in taking off his hat bowed down in front of her
"Well I might have two bitz fo' ya miss, but i need ta know ya name foist" The
girl smiled and stuck out her hand
"The names Slinks"
Blink smiled but was soon pushed out of the way by Jack, "Slinks iz it? Such
a lovely name fo a lovely girl" He gently kissed her hand and smiled
"Much obliged suga, but like I said I need 2 bits, care to spot me one hun?"
She looked down at Racetrack who was too busy staring, no girl ever turned down
the Cowboy, but hey she was cute!
"Yeah sure" he fumbled around for a coin and flicked it at her.
"Thanks" she caught it and threw a wink at Jack. She got her hundred papes
from a scabber and walked off. The guys stared at her but Jack wasn't letting
her get away that easy.
"Hey!" he yelled and Slinks turned around "So are yaz a Newsie or what?"
She laughed and walked up to him, she smiled shyly as she played with his
bandanna "Well aren't u jus a doll?" Jack smiled a made a i-know look, but that
was cut off as she tugged on his bandanna "But I think I can get along just fine
thanks wit out yaz" Slinks looked down at Les "Heya cutie, wanna help me get a
good spot?" Les looked at her and looked at the guys with a proud look on his
face, "Sure!" he said and offered his arm to her, she took it and they walked
off.
Mush and Specs walked over to Jack. "She sho is sumthin' huh Jack?" Specs
said, "Yeah Jack, ya think shez gots what it takes to be a Newsie?"
Jack smiled "Ya shez somthin, she ain't mah type..." he said as he tugged his
bandanna "but shez sho got it, n she'll be a Newsie, she ain't got no choice"
"And how do you suppose that'll happen?" Davey asked.
Jack answered "Trust me, dis is Manhattan...she won't last a day out thea."
