Jennifer's P.O.V
~~~Flashback~~~
Papa I missed you today. I said while hugging him. And then we heard crash in the kitchen, we ran into the kitchen and saw a guy dressed all in black, he had a gun and pointed it at my handsome papa and pulled the trigger, I started crying harder than I have ever cried before, then I felt like running and running and never look back.
First mama now papa!!
~~~End of flashback~~~.
I woke up to the sound of Mr.Kloppman waking up the boys I got up to brush my teeth and my hair. I walked back to the bedroom and heard...

RACETRACK:
That's my cigar!

SNIPESHOOTER:
You'll steal anudder!

KID BLINK:
Hey bummers, we got work tah do!

SPECS:
Since when did you become me mudder?

CRUTCHY:
Aww, stop your bawling!

NEWSIES:
Hey, who asked you?

I walk out beside Jack "so how'd you sleep Jack" I asked him "on me back Jen" he said
"Hahaha I asked Jack how he slept he said 'on me back Jen'"
CRUTCHY: Jack, when I walk, does it look like I'm faking it?

JACK: No. Who says you're faking it?

CRUTCHY: I dunno. It's just there's so many fake crips on the street today, a real crip ain't got a chance. I gotta find me a new selling spot where they ain't used to seeing me.

MUSH:
Try Bottle Alley or the harbour

RACETRACK:
Try Central Park, it's guaranteed

JACK:
Try any baker, bum, or barber

SKITTERY:
They almost all knows how to read

KID BLINK:
I smell money

CRUTCHY:
You smell foul!

MUSH:
Met this girl last night


JEN: Me?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

CRUTCHY:
Move your elbow!

RACETRACK:
Pass the towel!

SKITTERY:
For a buck I might!

We all ran down the stairs singing...

NEWSIES:
Ain't it a fine life
Carrying the banner through it all?
A mighty fine life
Carrying the banner tough and tall
Every morning, we goes where we wishes
We's as free as fished
Sure beats washin' dishes
What a fine life
Carrying the banner home-free all!

(The newsies leave the Lodging House and head towards Newsies Square)

Summer stinks and winter's waiting
Welcome to New York
Boy, ain't nature fascinating
When you'se gotta walk?
Still, it's a fine life
Carrying the banner with me chums
A mighty fine life
Blowing every nickel as it comes

CRUTCHY:
I'm no snoozer
Sitting makes me antsy
I likes living chancy

NEWSIES:
Harlem tah Delancey
What a fine life
Carrying the banner through the slums

NUNS:
Blessed children thought you wonder lost and depraved
Jesus loves you, you shall be saved!

PATRICK'S MOTHER:
Patrick, darling
Since you left me, I am undone
Mother loves you
God save my son!
