"Well hello, beautiful." Snotlout leaned against the wall in front of a passing pair
"Back off Snoters." Hope pulled Snotlout back
"Hello, M'lady." Hiccup stood in front of two passing people "Would you like a paper this morning?"
Astrid gave a confused look "The paper isn't even out yet." She started off
"I could deliver it to you personally. It would be an honor." Hiccup cut her off
Astrid crossed her arms over the top of her blue and white dress "Here's a headline. Scrawny boy gets nothing for his efforts." Astrid walked off
"She got you good Hiccup. Have to admit." Fishlegs walked over
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hiccup climbed up into the private box "Hello again."
"This is a private box. How did you get into it?" Astrid stood up, notepad in hand
"Maybe lock the door next time. Not everyone is as nice as I am." Hiccup warned
Astrid rolled her eyes and sat back down "You can leave now you've made your point." Astrid continued writing
"Wait I haven't even got to my point." Hiccup paused "For someone like me, it's odd that I've seen you twice in a day."
"Yeah well I'm working so could you just run along. Thanks." Astrid kept her eyes trained on the performance beneath her
"Working? What exactly are you doing?" Hiccup walked a little closer
"I work for the New York Sun. I'm reviewing the show."
"Hey, I actually work for the World. How did you get hired by the Sun?"
"I really don't wanna be talking to strangers thank you very much."
"Isn't that a reporter's job?" Hiccup sighed "I'm Hiccup Haddock."
"Haddock. You mean the kid of Stoick Haddock? The man who's own self-run factory killed him and his wife in a fire?" Astrid looked over
Hiccup rubbed the back of his neck "Can't really escape that." He mumbled, "Yep, that's me."
"Well, I am sorry for you, but, aren't you supposed to be selling papers with those boys and that kid with the crutch?"
Hiccup set down the newspaper he sketched on and walked to leave the box "See ya."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Did you see the Thorstons?" Hope pulled her cap off to fix her hair "They didn't know which way was up."
"So what's next?" Hiccup looked around at the group
"We have to spread the word to all the other newsies otherwise none of us stand a chance in this strike." Fishlegs explained
"Well you guys heard Fishlegs, we have to split up. And quick."
"I'll take Harlem!"
"I got Midtown!"
"I call the Bronx!"
"Perfect, Snotlout you can take Queens. Last is Brooklyn. Who wants Brooklyn?" Hiccup looked at everyone "Really no one wants Brooklyn? It's Eret Harrington territory, why is that so bad?"
"It's Eret's territory!" Gustav yelled, "He's the biggest newsie there is."
"Going in his turf is an open opportunity to write your will." Snotlout added
