This one's really far fetched so bear with me. It's funny though so I hope you guys like it.
Cast:

Guest appearance
Frankenstein: Gene Wilder*
Scene: living room- breakfast time
All the girls are finishing their breakfasts and starting to head off for the day.
Girls: Bye Beverly Ann!
Beverly Ann: Have a nice day.
Jo: Oh, Bev I’m going to get home a little later cause I have a dentist appointment.
Beverly Ann: Ok Jo. See you later.
That afternoon.
Nat, Tootie, and Blair are talking with Beverly Ann in the store. Jo comes in.
Beverly Ann: How was the dentist? Everything ok?
Jo is sort of upset. She doesn’t show her teeth. She covers them with her lips- causing it to look like she is imitating a person who has no teeth.
Jo: Oh just fine (speaks very oddly)
Blair: What in heaven’s name are you doing Jo? We can barely understand you. Are you trying to look like your ninety five years old?
Nat: Yeah what happened? (giggles) Did the dentist pull out all your teeth?
Jo: Fine. (gives up hiding her teeth) For your information, remember last year when I got socked in the mouth? Well that stupid punch has caused my teeth to be out of line. So I have to wear a retainer.
Tootie: What’s wrong with a retainer? I had braces.
Jo: Yeah well your Tootie. Braces were fine for you- but I can’t be seen wearing this thing!
Tootie: What was that comment supposed to mean?
Nat: Tootie- let it go. You know you don’t want to mess with Jo when she’s in this type of mood.
Beverly Ann: Ok girls, let’s sit down at the table- dinner’s ready. We’re having hamburgers.
Nat: Jo, you love hamburgers- that should make you feel better.
They all sit down. Dinner is served. Jo starts to bite into her burger but stops. She starts again, but puts the hamburger down.
Jo: excuse me I don’t feel too good.
Jo goes upstairs.
Nat: I wonder what’s wrong with her.
Tootie: Well, if its the same thing that was wrong when I had to go and get my braces, her teeth are probably killing her. It hurts a lot for the first few days. (Really acts it up) Now if she didn’t insult me maybe I’d be into helping her but...
Nat: Oh Tootie, I said let it go. And if she’s in pain it’s all the more reason to let it go.
Tootie: Oh alright.
(Scene flips to upstairs)
Jo is sitting on her bed.
Jo: Who needs them- I’m just fine up here by myself!
Jo’s stomach grumbles. Jo puts her hand on her stomach. She grabs a candy bar and unwraps it. She puts the candy to her mouth but clenches her jaw with her hand and throws the candy into the trash can.
Jo: I wasn’t hungry anyway. Well lets see. I should get some of schoolwork done. Well I’ve got to read Frankenstein- no better time then now.
Picks up the book and starts reading. Blair walks in with a bowl of soup, some yogurt, and a dish of ice cream.
Blair: Hey metal mouth, maybe some soft food will be better.
Jo: What did you call me?!!!? (Jo jumps up but the pain in her mouth stops her.) Just leave me alone.
Blair: Fine but the dentist called- you have to get that tooth pulled.
Jo: WHAT!!!
Blair: Yeah metal mouth. It’ll rot if you don’t. When he looked at the x-ray again he noticed that a root is loose.
Jo: I can’t believe this!
Beverly Ann comes in: Jo we have to leave for the dentist now. It's been too long since the tooth was damaged and it needs to come out.
Jo: Are you serious! I have to get it pulled this minute!
Tootie comes in: Not only that but you have to get one on the other side pulled to balance things out- then braces to move your teeth to fill the spaces. The dentist said that your teeth were too crowded anyway.
Jo: You guys are just kidding. I know- its your way of saying that life could be worse.
Beverly Ann: No Jo, we are serious.
Nat comes in: Yeah and life really couldn’t get much worse.
Young Frankenstein comes through the door next.
Jo: What is this Halloween?!?!? Oh no no no, I get it it’s April Fool’s. Soon you’ll be saying gotcha, right? Am I right? Tell me I’m right!
Blair: Jo, your not right- so just hold still.
Beverly Ann: Do I recognize you from somewhere?*
Frankenstein walks over with a huge pair of pliers.
Beverly Ann: Oh I know- its Frank. My ex-husband!
Jo: I know you guys- this isn't for real. You are just pulling my leg.
Blair: No, but soon we'll be pulling your teeth! Well I guess Jo will really be a metal mouth now!
Its a little later and Jo is lying on her bed.
Blair: (comes into the room with a tray in hands): Well Jo it really isn’t that bad- I’m sure your mouth is a little sore but you’ll get used to it.
Jo jumps awake and sees Blair (yes this was all a dream, but Jo doesn’t realize it). She grabs Blair by the collar and pushes her against the wall. Between being pushed against the wall and the shock of having been pushed against the wall, Blair is struggling to balance the tray. Jo raises a fist ready to punch Blair.
Jo: What do you mean it’s not that bad? You try having two teeth ripped out of your mouth by Frankenstein or Frank Stickle or whoever he was and having braces put on. And this is for all the times you called me metal mouth. (Is about to hit Blair)
Blair squints and tries to get out of Jo’s grasp: I have no idea what your talking about. I didn’t call you anything- your wearing a retainer- and you have NO MISSING TEETH!!!
Jo lets go of Blair. She runs to the mirror.
Jo: Oh- I guess I don’t. I must have had a dream.
Blair: Some dream! Here take some tylenol. Your letting the pain in your mouth go to your head.
Jo: THE PAIN IN MY MOUTH IS IN MY HEAD BLAIR!!!
They look at each other and then laugh. On the tray is some soup and yogurt for Jo and Blair’s dinner is a sandwich. Jo takes some tylenol for the pain. Jo tells Blair about her dream. They eat their dinner, talk, and laugh.
Jo: I thought you guys had hamburgers.
Blair: Yeah well I figured it wouldn’t be fair to have a hamburger when you have soup! You left before anyone could touch their dinner, so we put it away til tomorrow. So you want to go downstairs and get some ice cream?
Jo: Sounds great!
They both leave the room, arm in arm.
THE END
*In 1974, Cloris Leachman was in a movie called Young Frankenstein with Gene Wilder. The it’s Frank my ex-husband line was just a play on the fact that “Frank”enstein walked through the door.

Jo: Slap people
Blair: A Warner is like a delicate soufle
Jo: Yeah light and empty
Nat: I'd rather be a happy magic marker than a skinny pencil
