That night, after Pic and Doodle found Spaz,Pillow and Squeak, (which was a good thing because Pillow was trying to eat Squeaks hat insiting it was a giant strawberry) they went home managing to avoid trouble. The place they lived in was a Lodging House, The owners were a man in his late 30's and his wife in her early 30's they had 2 kids that were the ages of 5 and 9. They were a nice couple, But also worried very easy. Doodle layed on the top bunk of the bunk she shared with Spaz. Across from her was Pillow and below her was Pic. Squeak had her own bed, her parents paid for it...kind of. Squeak's parent's are rich and try to get her to come back home but she refuses too. She ran away 3 year's ago, and took some money from her parents when she did. Doodle's parent's are in England doing research there, they dropped her off to go to a school here and live with her Aunt and Uncle. But the building her Aunt and Uncle lived in burned down and well that's how Doodle got here. Pic never knew her parent's and was raised by a lady who worked in the circus as a singing act. Spaz's parents died and she lived with her grandparents most of her life until they died to, they didn't have any money left over to give to her so she wondered the streets and until she ran into Pic who tryed to sell her a pape. Pillow's family is poor so she's trying to help out.

"Boy oh boy am i tired!!" Doodle said covering her eyes with her hands.
"Me too, please don't eva do dat again." Pic said looking up at Doodles feet which were hanging off the side.
"Tomorrow we stay in Queens, lets not wonder around till maybe the day afta tomorrow." Spaz said taking off her hat and putting Cowboy's hat under her bed.
"Sure hope the headlines are interesting tomorrow,it would help." Pillow said using her hands to support her head up. Everyone looked at her, she obviously hadn't been listening to them. Squeak was already asleep on her bed which made Spaz shake her head.
"She falls asleep to fast."
"Ya and how can you sleep when deres guys making so much noise!" Doodle yelled rolling over to look at the other newsie guys that also lived in the lodging house with them. Some looked over and laughed but didnt say anything. They knew not to mess with the girls, last time they did they got bloody noses,black eyes and soar ears.
"Spaz.." Pic looked over at her laying down on her bed. "You'se dont think dat Manhattan would come to Queens to look for us do ya?" Spaz looked over at Pic and smiled.
"They have no reason ta, and if dey did come heah..liked dey would knows where ta find us." she confedntly said laying down with her hands behind her head. "And if dey did find us which i know'se you'd ask, how could dey be sure it was i who took the stuff?"
"Did dey see your face at all?" Doodle asked leaning over the edge of the bed.
"Well...ya...but...well..maybe dey dont remember well.." Spaz trailed off.
"We're dead." Pic said bluntly putting Mush's shirt at the end of her bed.
"Why?" Pillow asked looking them. Again she wasn't paying attention.
"Never mind Pillow, just...we're satyin in Queens and if you heahs anyone ask about girl newsies." Spaz pushed Doodles patress with her foot. "Or any theifs come tell us, 'kay? now im goin to sleep, im pooped, night!" Spaz rolled over turning her back to Pic and closed her eyes.
"Ok, well i guess i'll go to sleep to...though i still wish i had that strawberry...night girls!" Pillow said smiling and laid down as well.
"Night all." Doodle added in and laid down to go to sleep to.
Pic sat on her bed waiting till she knew they were asleep before getting up, she put on her hat and headed outside to the roof of the lodging house.

The next morning the boys were talking really loudly, sounding scared and excited at the same time.
"I'se swear! this place is haunted! haunted i tell's ya!" a boy with a dirty face shouted putting on his hat.
"It is not Girch!" another boy yelled while putting on his shirt. "We'se just got visted by a lovely biod." he said with a smile.
"Gaa!..shut up you guys!"Doodle groaned rolling over trying to block them out, but she rolled off the side and fell on the floor with a loud "Umpf!" Spaz shot up in bed eyes wide and yelled "I'm awake!" then she hit her head on the bed bars above her and grabbed her forehead in pain and started laughing. Pillow opened an eye and sat up and looked at the mess below her.
"You guys are to loud..." she said and put her face back into her pillow.
"Good Morning Ladies." Pic said happily as she put on her newsie hat and fixed her hair. She looked at herself in the mirror to make sure she looked like a guy and then she gave herself a thumbs up and put her camera around her neck and turned around to look at her fellow girl newsies. Doodle was sitting up tangled in her blankets and using Spaz's bed as a support to get up. Squeak was still asleep sleeping like a princess on her bed, and Pillow was pretending to be asleep. Spaz got out of bed and walked over to the mirror and saw a big red bump.
"Lovely." Spaz said poking her forehead.
"Mornin' Goils, you look as lovely as eva." chimed in another newsie guy. He had blonde hair that fell neatly around his head. He had bright blue eyes and a smile on his face. He was very tall too. Walzing over to the girls he took Pic's hand and kissed it. "It tis a shame." he said looking off at a wall, he didn't have a New York accent.
"What's a shame..." Pic asked rolling her eyes.
"That you have to pretend your a boy, you'd much better off to being a girl! then i could carry you on my arm!" he shouted and turned to look at her, he took her face in his hand and she huffed.
"Oh Peanut, we have to much fun to be a girl!" Doodle said loudly hitting him hard with her hip, making him stumble to the side away from Pic.
"Thanks." Pic whispered to Doodle and she nodded then grabbed a change of clothes, a pair of glasses and a newsie hat and headed to a bathroom.
Mrs.Carnmair, the owners wife, made her way upstairs to all the ruckess and noise.
"Come on Newsies! hurry hurry! go sell those papes you blessed children!" she shouted and pulled out a hankerchief, and dapped her eyes. "And please be safe! don't cause trouble!" she started to cry and hurred down stairs and into the back room with her own kids. When she left, the rest of the newsies finished getting dressed. Pic and Spaz woke up Pillow and Squeak so they could get dressed as well. When they were all ready and looked like guys they left with the rest and went to buy their papes.

"Extra extra! read all about it! a cow with no spots found in central park!" Squeak shouted holding up a news paper shaking it. Her and Doodle were selling together today.
"Lady spots a ghost outside her window holding her dead baby!" Doodle shouted. Slowly but surely they sold all their papes. "Woo!" Doodle shouted as they sat down on a bench.
"This is no work for a lady." Squeak said rubbing her eyes.
"Your to goily Squeak,being a newsie is a blast! now if you'se did want your parents wanted ya ta do you'se be stuck in a boring, hot school, with no boys." Doodle said grinning at her. Squeak sighed.
"Your right.."
"I know."
"Don't go gettin cocky on me..anyways...how was Spot Conlon? is he as scary as people say he is?" She asked in a hushed voice, she sounded a bit scared.
"Nah, atleast i'se didn't think he was...he's might height. Who'se afraid of that?"
Squeak giggled and nodded. "But...does he have that cane?" Doodle nodded and Squeak shuddered in fear.
"Your to wimpy." Doodle said poking Squeak, which caused Squeak to squeak making people look at them.

Pillow was on her own today and was merrily skipping down a alley, she was left with 6 papes. As she skipped she looked around and realized she forgot where she was.
"Aw..im lost...hmm." She said outloud to herself bringing up a figure to her lip. She slowly walked forward and came to the end of the alley but there was two ways she could pick from.
"Left..or right...rice or strawberrys...asains or...Hello whats dis?" A trash cane was moving.
"Aw dere must be a poor kitty trapped in it!" Pillow hurred over to it and the trash cane stopped moving. She blinked and pulled the lid off.
"Ah!"
"Ahh!!"
Pillow dropped her papes and the lid and covered her mouth. Inisde the trashcane was a girl about her age and she was covered with trash.
"Ah! what happened to you?" Pillow asked her hands still over her mouth.
"I got canned." replied the girl who tryed to stand up but was having a hard time. Pillow walked behind the can and pushed it over.
"Wah!" the girl screamed.
Pillow just smiled and picked up her papes.
"You should be able to crawl out now! and when you do would you like to buy a pape from me?"
The girl wiggled her way out of the trash cane and stood up picking garbdge off of her.
"I would, but i dont have any money, sorry sir." the girl said looking over at her rescuer.
"Aw, dats to bad..." Pillow frowned and held out a hand. "Me names Pillow, you?"
"Twink...hehe dats an odd name for a guy...Pillow..hehe." Twink said trying not to laugh. Pillow frowned and put her hands on her hips and replied.
"Well i'm actually a giol, pretending to be a guy, and Twink's a funny name to."
"Your a giol? oops..now dat you mentiens it..you do looks like a goil...why do you dress up like a guy?"
"'Cause, bein' a newsie is no job for a giol, dat's what we'se told everyday...you should become one's to! come wit me and i'll teach ya's da ropes."

Meanwhile, Spaz was off in a crowded area selling her papes as all of those events had happened. While she was selling papes, wearing Jack's, Jack, David and Les were watching her from a little bit aways.
"Jack! he's moving!" Les said tugging on Jacks sleeve. Jack and David watched as Spaz made her way a little farther selling some more papes.
"What are you gonna do Jack?" David asked looking at him.
"Whadda ya mean what am i gonna do? im gonna get me hat back dats what im gonna do." Jack replied marching towards Spaz with an annoyed look on his face and David and Les following him as the best they could, for some reason this area was really busy and crowded.
Spaz was smilling selling yet another pape when she turned and saw Jack stairing right at her and making his way to her.
"Oh shi..." she said to herself biting her lip and looking away trying to sell a pape so it would look like she was busy. But she got no luck in that.
"Thats a pretty nice hat you got dere." Jack said walking infront of her.
"Why thank you." she replied smiling at him. "Let's talk in a more private area thats less crowded, just me an you." She said walking backwards to a building near by. Jack watched her and then looked at David and Les.
"Be right back, dont follow." and he followed Spaz to the building.
