I Never Planned on This (A newsies fanfiction)

Henri, as well as the other newsies have been living a Newsie's dream ever since the strike was settled. With Governor Roosevelt on their side now, they're able to finally get a decent breakfast in the morning rather than the curdled coffee and concrete doughnuts they used to call 'hitting the motherload'.

But a few years after the strike is settled, Jack goes off to study in art school, as Katherine suggested. Leaving Davey in charge, he leaves to study in Santa Fe, and takes Katherine with him.

But when the Delancey brothers try and pick on the Newsies, believing that they're powerless without Jack, it turns into a bloodbath. And Henri finds herself as well as other newsies at risk of being sent to the new juvenile prison, The Wall. With the new warden for the Wall, Kennedy, hot on the Newsies' trail, Henri and the others need to be careful.

But this turns into a bigger problem when Pulitzer himself gets involved, claiming that with Jack away, the prices go up higher since one of the Newsies that sells the most papes is away. This makes Davey and the Newsies insanely angry, and just may lead to another strike.

There's the choice to wait for Jack to return and just sell more papers. But there's also the choice to strike again against greedy Pulitzer...only this time there's no reporter to help the Newsies out.

(Author note: some characters such as Crutchie, Henri, and JoJo are going to be girls rather than boys, so I'm sorry if you don't like that. it contributes to the story. Also, I don't own any of the characters or pictures I use. Just the plot to the story.)
