Newsies Challenge No. Two Everything would have been fine if he just hadn't understood how the mind of a boy works. He wouldn't have felt so guilty – and, of course, he wouldn't have had that smelly boy lurking at his feet…

Newsie Challenge 1 David is not a leader. He tries to understand this. He's not a people person. He thinks that perhaps that is it. That is why he is not a leader. And it is exactly why Jack Kelly is. AU.

Everything would have been fine if he just hadn't pulled down his knickers. But no, good old Snipes had to bend down and flash his shiny hiney to our pursuers.

It's not a cry you can hear at night. It's not somebody who's seen the light. It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah.

Sometimes one decision can affect your entire day. Written for Newsies Challenge 2
