Sorry, I was gone on a trip for a couple few days and I forgot my computer. AND READ THE A/N AFTER THE CHAPTER ENDED.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I wake up the next day and got ready. Then I went outside just to find a bunch of newsies waiting for Jack. "Hey Cowboy how much longer will you take?!", Racetrack yelled into the door taking a puff of his cigar. "I'm coming, I'm coming.", I heard Jack say impatiently as he opened the door.

"Now lets get going!" , he shouted and started running towards the pape stands as the rest of the newsies followed him.

"Are you coming?", said a tall kid with red hair and an eyepatch.

"y-yeah", I mumbled and started walking towards the other newsies.

"I'm Blink. Kid Blink.", he said spitting in his hand.

"Nice to meet you blink I'm Ally... I mean, Carter.", I said spitting in my hand as he shook it.

"Well nice to meet you carter.", he said with a laugh as we walked over to the other newsies.

"Hey weasel, what's in the papes today?, asked Jack

"Well I guess you have to buy one and see for your self.", A quite big man said with an evil smirk as he pointed to a sign.

"sixty cents for papes?! We barely have enough money now!", said Racetrack outraged as he and the other newsies walked away.

"What are we going to do?", I asked Jack

"Well one things for sure if we don't buy papes nobody buys papes until the prices go back to where it use to be.", Jack yelled to the crowd.

"Like a strike?", a boy with brown curly hair said.

"Yeah, like a strike, David." Jack replied.

"That's not going to work", yelled Blink into the crowd.

"Yeah I was just joking.", The David said.

"Well I think a strike would be a good idea. I mean picture this... a whole group of newsies not buying papes and what does that get you." Jack asked.

"A bunch of boys without any food, without any money, and without any place to live.", David said.

"The only possible way we could win is if we get all of New York to join." I mumbled sarcastically.

"Yeah, we can get all of the New York newsies to join.", Jack said as David thought about it.

" We have to let Pulitzer know we won't take this", Jack shouted as a chorus of yeahs joined in.

"So are we going to strike?!", Jack yelled even louder.

"Yeah!" Everyone responded.

"Then it's official we're taking this to court!", Jack yelled as we all cheered and clapped.
