The queen of New York (Newsies fanfic)

Katherine Plumber

A well manicured hand caught my arm as I made my way off the sing stage. I turned to complain to Medda but it wasn't her. It was the women that Jack was sitting across from.

"Oh, hi... Can I help youse?" I asked, trying to be polite.

"I'm Katherine Plumber... Well that's my by-line, I'm reviewing the show for the New York Sun," She explained.

"And I works for da World? Why do I care?"

"Look, I don't make habit of not speaking to strangers but i thought i'd take a chance on you, One of the few girl Newsies in the city who also has an amazing talent,"

"Youse gonna make a lousy reporter if ya don't talk ta strangers, but thanks anyways. Clover Kelly." I introduced.

"Is that what it says on your rap sheet?" She teased.

"Oh a smart goil," I teased back, a bite to my words.

"I-I didn't mean to upset you," She stuttered much to my satisfaction.

Jack leapt down from the rafters, Davey and Les on his tail.

"Hello again," Jack smirked.

"Please go away, I'm working," Katherine stressed.

"A workin goil eh?" Jack laughed. "Beautiful, smart, independent,"

"Do you mind?" Katherine hissed.

"I got it," I said putting my hand up to her.

I swatted Jack upside the head.

"The Lady don't like you Jackie!" I said slowly.

The lazy smirk returned to his face as he held my gaze for a moment.

"Alright ya Majesty," Jack bowed, taking his hat off.

I roll my eyes at him, "you haves gotta be the worst big brother on the planet." I teased at him.

"Why did he call you your majesty? Plus you have siblings?" Katherine asked curiously, her pencil hovering anxiously above her pad of paper.

"Look, I'm not interview material. 'Sides, we gotta get our newbies home," I said.

"Oh.... well, I hope to talk to you soon Clover Kelly!" Katherine said sei-dejectedly

I wave at Katherin before leaving.

"Hold on I'll be rights back okay." Jack said taking his piece of paper and putting near Katerine and telling her bye, then heading back to me putting an arm around me as we hit the street.s

"Another picture Jack?" I teased. "I thought you only draw me, I guess you draw crushes as well??"

"Oh pip down squirt, you know i'll never love anybody else as much as I love ya." He said smiling at me.

"As do I Jack." I said smiling up at him.
