Hello, Fansies!

This used to be "Watch What Happens" but I've decided to turn this just into a one-shot.

I don't own Newsies.


The Boy At the Park

On a sunny August afternoon, a nine year old girl chased her brother around the park. The girl was giggling. Her brother was smirking with confidence. For a moment, the girl closed her eyes, to savour this perfect moment. The rain had finally stopped, it wasn't too hot and she was about to win at tag.

The girl bumped into something. Her eyes snapped open. She hadn't bumped into something but someone. A boy that looked to be about seven years old, with big blue eyes, several bruises and dark hair was on the ground too. But he just laughed. The girl frowned. Was he not hurt either? Did this boy even had any manners?

"Aren't you going to help me up?" the girl. asked, frowning.

The boy grinned. "Sorry about that. It was all Race's fault." He help her off of the ground, "The name's Jack Kelly. Who you?"

Race? Like the contest of speed? It sounded like Jack was talking about a person, though.

"Katherine Pulitzer. Now, I just be going. My nanny is going to be so worried," she replied.

"Your nanny?" Jack questioned.

"Yes. My nanny." Katherine was pleased that she had something that only rich people could afford. This boy, this Jack Kelly, looked (and smelled) like he lived on the streets.

"Well, I'm glad my parents didn't have no money to hire a nanny fer me. They loved me too much to have someone else raise me. Now that they's gone, I's now free. Like da wind," said Jack.

Katherine was filled with anger. How dare this boy! Such a son of a-

"Hey, Racer, what fer me!" Jack called, "Sorry, Kathy, gotta go! Bye!"

He ran to join this friend.

Katherine hated that boy and vowed to always hate the big from the park.


Sorry, if Katherine seems like a brat. But she hasn't learned yet.
