I don't own any characters that appear in the movie Newsies, Disney© does. Ira Levin owns the basic plot line. I own Anna Meyers and Caitlin Meyers. Dakki owns Tessie, ducks-go-quack-00 owns Cora, and Strawberri Shake owns Alexandra.
In case you ever get confused: Anthony 'Race' Higgins, James 'Kid Blink' Kenny, Joseph 'Specs' Wiseman, Andrew 'Bumlets' Osorio, Liam 'Spot' Conlon.
As Caitlin ran around the empty apartment, exploring every nook, Anna unpacked their belongings reluctantly. She did it silently, focusing only on placing every item in its new home. Their cat, Belle, was jumping on and off the countertop, claiming ownership of the new territory that was the kitchen.
"Anna are you ever going to talk to me again?" Sean asked. She was still angry at Sean for relocating their family.
"Maybe…" Sean rolled his eyes at this. She'll get over it eventually, he thought. Just then there was a knock at the door. Sean got up to answer it and Anna followed after.
"Helloooo neighbor!" called a woman, pie in hand. She was accompanied by a man remarkably shorter than her. He had messy black hair and glasses.
She was beautiful, perfect just like Tessie. For a second Sean thought of that as strange, but he ignored the thought and welcomed her in.
"Hi I'm Joe Wiseman, and this is my wife, Alexandra," he announced. Her hair was a perfect shade of red, not too orange and not too brown. It curled gently around her face, framing her green eyes. But Sean didn't see any of that…he was too distracted by her chest. Anna looked at them in disbelief, and Sean look at them in admiration.
"It's nice to meet you," Anna replied politely. Anna looked quite different than the tall beauty before her. First of all there was their height; Alexandra was a whole head taller than Anna. Than there was the hair-Anna's was a frizzy mop; Alexandra's was a work of art. Anna was not fazed though.
However, Sean was extremely fazed. He hadn't taken his eyes off her chest, and Anna was beginning to notice. How disgusting she thought, right in front her husband and everything.
"So how do you like it here Anna?" Joe asked.
"Its…ok," Anna responded.
Sean said little during their small talk, he was quite enthralled with Alexandra's beauty.
"Well I'd like to have you stay, but we're busy packing," Anna said, a fake smile painted on her face.
"We will invite you over sometime," Alexandra nodded, and they stepped out of the apartment gracefully.
"That was rude," Sean observed.
"Oh and staring at her chest in front of her husband and I was just perfectly gracious."
"I was not," Sean retaliated.
Then, another knock. Anna answered the door alone this time. Before her was another pair of gorgeous green eyes and a man with dark hair and pale skin.
"Welcome to Duane Street," she said placidly.
"I'm Andrew Osorio, and this is Cora," the man said gently.
Anna invited them in, and more small talk continued.
"The pie I baked you is cherry!" Cora remarked with excitement. Her hair was in curls that bounced up and down. The front ringlets, kept back with a huge bow.
"That's nice," Anna replied. She felt as though she was talking to five year old Caitlin and not a grown woman. And just then little Caitlin made an appearance.
"I like your bow!" Caitlin said her face animated with excitement. Cora smiled a blank expression on her face.
"Thank you."
"This is Caitlin, our daughter," Anna introduced the young girl to the strangers.
"That's nice," Cora remarked. A blank expression was still on her face. "Quite nice, very nice," she continued.
"Oh dear…Cora's not feeling well today, come Cora, lets go," Andrew pulled his wife towards the door.
"That'd be nice!" was her only reply when Anna and Sean said goodbye. They shut the door and went back to their unpacking.
"That was weird," Anna observed aloud.
"What you mean?" Sean asked.
"The fact that she kept going on like that…I dunno, it was weird."
"She wasn't feeling well," Sean said in defense. Anna looked at him like he was crazy. She was about to say 'Why don't you just marry her then?' when their was a knock on the door, again. Anna and Sean went to the door.
This time there were four people before them. Two more beautiful women and two men.
"Sean! Nice to see you," David Jacobs remarked, "You remember my wife, Tessie," Tessie gave a little wave with her left hand, her right hand held yet another pie.
"I'm Tessie!"
"Please, come in," Anna was getting good at this polite thing.
"Hello Sean," the other man said.
"Hello Jack, this must be your wife, Sarah," Jack gave Sean a firm handshake. Sarah handed Anna a cake and Anna placed it on the countertop with the pies.
Sarah was the picture of perfection, like all the other woman from Duane Street. She had long, straight brown hair with sparkly eyes and a sweet smile.
And Tessie was still Tessie. Except she was now dressed in more formal wear than her pink jump suit that had been working out in when Sean saw her last.
Anna observed them in awe. They were charming and sweet, and yet mindless at the same time. She felt a pang of jealousy towards them, and yet she felt sorry for their ignorance.
"We'd love to have you at the meeting tomorrow night Sean," Jack said, clapping him on the back.
"You have a fraternity here?" Anna asked in disbelief.
"No…not a fraternity. We prefer society," Jack responded, clearly offended.
