Here's my first fanfic. It takes place in Season 3 before the episode Sweet Sorrow. Eddie and Jo's parents make a small appearance. Anyways, hope you like!

Grease is the Word

CAFETERIA-AFTERNOON

Mrs. Garrett is cleaning up some of the tables as Jo, Natalie and Tootie walk in talking.

TOOTIE: Jo, you have to try out! It will be so much fun.

Jo: I don't think so Tootie.

NAT: Oh, C'mon Jo. The Summer Nights are calling!

MRS.G: What's the problem girls?

JO: There is no problem.

TOOTIE: No problem?! Mrs. Garrett, they are holding auditions tomorrow for Eastland and Bates performance of 'Grease' and Jo refuses to try out.

JO: I never refused.

MRS.G: Oh?

JO: Tootie and Nat just think I should try out for... (sort of disgusted) Sandy.

MRS.G: Oh Jo, you would be wonderful!

JO: Well of course I would! It's just I don't want to be a lovesick Austrailian blonde.

NAT: Sandy doesn't have to be blonde. All you need to do is make your accent stiff until it sounds semi-proper.

JO: Proper?

Blair walks in joyfully.

BLAIR: Hello all!

MRS.G: Hi.

Blair embraces Mrs. Garrett.

BLAIR: Isn't it a glorious day?

JO: (looks at Blair questioningly) Who slapped you upside the head today?

Blair glares at Jo but then looks back at Mrs. Garrett.

BLAIR: I cannot wait until the auditions tomorrow! I am gonna blow them away!

NAT: Blow who where?

BLAIR: Natalie, Natalie, Natalie. Do you know who'll be auditioning for the role of Sandy tomorrow?

TOOTIE: Sure we do. Jo.

Blair's smile suddenly turns confused.

BLAIR: WHAT?!

JO: Tootie, I didn't say I'd -

BLAIR: Jo can't try out for Sandy, she, she...

NAT: She can sing?

TOOTIE: She's got great stage presence?

NAT: She can act?

TOOTIE: She's talented?

Blair is speechless.

NAT: Take your pick Blair, we've got all day.

JO: Guys, stop it.

BLAIR: Jo isn't, well she's not...

JO: Blair just forget it. Since it will satisfy you so, (glares at Nat and Tootie) I'll try out. But I am not gonna guarrrente a thing.

TOOTIE: That is all we were asking.

Nat and Tootie exit into the kitchen.

MRS.G: You'll do great! I know it.

Jo and Mrs. Garrett smile at each other and head to the kitchen leaving Blair alone and with a confused look on her face.

BLAIR: What about me?

Blair follows them into the kitchen.


That's all for now. It's almost midnight and I need to get up at 4:30 tomorrow. I'll write more tomorrow, I hopw you like this one though.
Toodles.

Cute! Add more!

FUNNY!!! I love it.

Great, I LOVE it! I love the way Blair says, "What about me?" I can just see her doing that!

Thanks for the great reviews so far. Here's a little more.

CAFETERIA-NEXT DAY

Mrs. Garrett is at a table working on some bills as Tootie, Nat, and Jo walk in smiling.

TOOTIE: Mrs. Garrett, Mrs. Garrett! You won't believe what happened at the auditions!

MRS.G: Jo, you got the part of Sandy.

JO http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/frown.gifsmiles) Close.

MRS.G: Blair got the part.

The girls look at each other and them burst into laughter.

MRS.G: What's so funny?

NAT: Mrs. Garrett you should have seen Blair's audition!

TOOTIE: She was so funny!

MRS.G: What happened?

JO: Well you see she was singing 'Hopelessly Devoted to You' and she was doing really well.

MRS.G: How is that funny?

NAT: You know Blair, she had custom made props with her.

TOOTIE: Including a wading pool with water in it.

MRS.G: What happened?

JO: Well as she was gettin to the first refrain she totally cracked. By the second verse she sounded terrible.

MRS.G: Poor thing.

JO: That's not the funny part. See, she was walking around the stage struggling to keep up with the music and she kind of tripped.

NAT: And fell face first into the pool!

MRS.G: Poor Blair! What part did she get?

TOOTIE: No part. She said she wanted Sandy or no part at all but she messed up her only shot.

MRS.G: Who did get the part of Sandy?

JO: Sue Ann Weaver. She was pretty good actually.

NAT: But not as good as Jo!

JO: Nat, I am the only one that can gloat about myself.....but you're right.

MRS.G: What part did you get?

JO: We're all Pink Ladies. I'm Rizzo, Tootie's Frenchie, and Nat's Jan.

MRS.G: That's wonderful!

JO: Not for Blair. I felt so bad for her. I tried to help her ofstage but she just yelled at me so I backed off.

MRS.G: She was probably devestated.

TOOTIE: Devestated? She was downright ugly!


That's all for now. I'll try to post more tonight. Buh Bie for now! 8)

Post more soon

Ditto!!

Keep going. I can actually visualize this in my mind as an episode.

Thanks again for the reviews! Here's more. It is right after I left off when Tootie says Blair was downright ugly.

Blair comes walking into the cafeteria, hair soaking wet and glaring at Jo.

NAT: Speaking of which Tootie and I have some homework to do upstairs.

TOOTIE: No we don't, it's Friday.

NAT: (pulling Tootie's arm) Yes, we do!

TOOTIE: (catching on) Oh yeah. That homework.

Nat and Tootie exit through the kitchen leaving Jo and Mrs. Garrett with an angry Blair.

MRS.G: (uncomfortably) Hi, Blair. How was your audition?

Blair doesn't answer. She's glaring at Jo how's stareing back uncomfortably.

MRS.G: I see. Well, I, ummmm, I got to go and, uhhh, start dinner. Bye.

Mrs. Garrett walks quickly to the kitchen.

JO: Blair, look, I'm sorry you didn't get the part. But I'm sure if Sue Ann can't be Sandy you're the understudy.

BLAIR: (angrily) Wrong?

JO: What?

BLAIR: I asked the director and do you know who she told me was the understudy?

JO: (backing away uncomfortably) Who?

BLAIR: You.

JO: (still backing away) Oh. Oh, I uhh, I have too...(looks into Blair's angry face) Hell! I just gotta go!

Jo runs out of the cafeteria leaving Blair to stare angrily after her.


Ok. My sis has to work on a report so I'll most more ASAP!

Oh this is getting good. I luv it!!!! Post more soon!!!!

This is really cute! The thought of Jo playing good-goody Sandy makes me LOL! Keep up the good work.

PS---Jo and Tootie dress exactly as Rizzo and Frenchie in the flashback sequence of '62-Pick-up. I think Jo was called Frizzo in that episode. I forget what Tootie was called though. It might have been Frenchie, but I'm not sure.

------------------
Natalie: A flashback within a flashback..I'm so brillant it scares me

I love it! One of my favorites I've ever read!

WOW! I didn't think I'd get these kind of reviews on my first fanfic. Thanks so much! I tried writing more the other day but I acidentally lost it. But here's more. Let's just say that was the first real comercial break.


THEATER STAGE- DAY

Jo, Nat, and Tootie are at a dress rehearsal. They are doing the scene where Jo sings 'Look at me, I'm Sandra Dee.' The girls preform it and are at the ending pose for 'Sandy' to walk in. Sue Ann walks in sniffling a bit. Jo does as she is supposed to and turns to see 'Sandy'. They continue the scene.

SUE ANN: Are you making fun of me Riz?

JO: Some people can be so touchy.

Sue Ann suddenly starts balling which stops the scene. Jo goes over to her and 'tries'(actually tries) to comfort her.

JO: Sue Ann, that was my line. It's nothing personal.

SUE ANN: (crying) I know!

Sue Ann starts crying harder and leans against Jo who pats her on the back uncomfortably. Nat and Tootie come over.

TOOTIE: Sue Ann, what's wrong?

SUE ANN: (trying to talk) It's my, my...

NAT: Your what?

SUE ANN: My grandfather!

Sue Ann starts to cry harder again and Jo lets her sit on one of the prop chairs.

JO: Sue Ann, what's wrong with your grandfather?

SUE ANN: He, he, he died!

TOOTIE: That's terrible!

SUE ANN: (calmer) And I have to go back to Kansass City for the funneral.

NAT: So?

SUE ANN: I'm going to have to miss the play!

She starts to cry again.

JO: A little help please!

The director, Blair, and the guy who plays 'Danny,' we'll call him Jack, run onto the stage.

DIRECTOR: What's wrong?

SUE ANN: (sniffleing) I can't be in the play!

DIRECTOR: (shocked) What?!

BLAIR: (excited) What?!

Sue Ann starts crying again.

JO: Sue Ann's grandfather passed away and she has to go back to Kansass City for the funneral, meaning she'll miss the play.

BLAIR: (sarcasticly) Oh, what a shame.

DIRECTOR: Now who's gonna play Sandy?

BLAIR: I'll be Sandy.

DIRECTOR: No, we need someone who can pull it off in a few days.

Blair looks disapointed.

JACK: What about Jo? She knows the part and is just as good as Sue Ann.

BLAIR: WHAT?!

JO: WHAT?!

DIRECTOR: Jack's right. Jo, will you be Sandy?

Jo looks uncomfortably at Blair who looks angry, then at Nat and Tootie who give her a thumbs up.

JO: As long as I don't have to where a wig.

DIRECTOR: Nonsence! Jack, take Jo to the costume designer. She needs a new costume.


JACK: Yes Ma'am. Jo, right this way.

He leads Jo off stage and has his arm around her. Jo stares at his hand unimpressed.

JACK: What?

JO: I hope you know that I have a boyfriend.

JACK: So?

He puts his arm closer.

JO: In, the Navy.

Jack quickly withdraws his hand.

JACK: Sorry, I sometimes get, uhhh, I get...

JO: Carried away?

JACK: Yeah.

JO: Do it again, and I'll put that arm where it can't be carried away ever again.

Jo heads off into the wings with Jack close behind (like Roy).

JACK: Yes Ma'am.

Jo turns around quickly and puts her finger in his face.

JO: And don't call me Ma'am!

They exit into wings as Blair watches them angrily.

GIRLS ROOM- NIGHT (AFTER DINNER)

Jo is pacing the room alone, practicing her new lines. There is a knock on the door.

JO: Come in.

Mrs. Garrett walks in.

JO: Hi Mrs. Garrett.

MRS.G: Hi. I heard the news. Congratulations!

JO: Thanks. You know, I thought I couldn't be more stressed as Rizzo. Now I have to learn the lead role in three days.

MRS.G: Well, it is an honor.

JO: Yeah, but I wish it brought honor to my friends.

MRS.G: To your friends? Jo, Natalie and Tootie are estatic.

JO: What about Blair?

MRS.G: Oh, she'll get over it. In the meantime, have you called your mother?

JO: Yeah.

MRS.G: Well what did she say?

JO: Let's just say she's more estatic than Tootie.

MRS.G: I see. So, who's coming to see you sing your heart out besides me?

JO: Well, my mom, dad, and....

MRS.G: (nudges Jo in stomach) And?

Jo: And Eddie.

MRS.G: (delighted) Eddie's coming?! That's wonderful news!

JO: Yeah, but wait til I have to kiss 'Danny.' Then we'll see if its so wonderful.

They laugh as Blair walks in the room slamming the door.

BLAIR: Mrs. Garrett, may I speak with Jo privatly?

MRS.G: Sure. Congrates Jo.

JO: Thanks.

Mrs. Garrett exits.

JO: What's up Blair?

BLAIR: Don't 'What's up Blair' me!

JO: OK, I won't.

BLAIR: Jo, you're not actually considering going through with the play do you?

JO: Yeah.

BLAIR: (angrily, & threatingly) If you do I will make sure you never preform again!

JO: (unimpressed again) Nice try Blair but I'll tell you what you can do. (gets in Blair's face) Stay out of my way or I will make sure you never preform agin!

Jo exits the room with script in her hand while Blair plops down on her bed.

BLAIR: We'll see about that Jo. We'll see.


OK, that's all for now. Time for another commercial break. j/k I'll be back by tomorrow. So until then, hope you enjoy!

Ok, here's more.

THEATER STAGE- DAY

Jo, is on stage practicing 'Hopelessly Devoted To You.' The props are on the stage includding a wading pool with water in it. Blair is watching from the wings angrily. Jo finishes the song.

DIRECTOR: That was beautiful Jo.

JO: Thanks.

Blair walks on stage.

BLAIR: Jo, I have a message for you.

JO: What is it?

BLAIR: I know I have it somewhere.

She starts checking her pockets and then her backpack. She pulls a book out of it.

BLAIR: Here it is.

Blair purposely hits Jo with the book. Jo loses her balance and falls into the pool. Tootie and Nat are watching from the side.

TOOTIE: (whispers) There's gonna be trouble.

NAT: Your telling me.

Jo tries to get out of the pool but trips and falls back in. Soaking wet, she stands again and stares at Blair, half mad, half shocked. Blair backs away into the wing. Jo follows her.

JO: Blair! How could you?!

BLAIR: (innocently) It was an accident.

Tootie and Nat walk into the wing.

JO: (yelling) Accident my a-

NAT: I hope we're not interrupting something but Jo, may I remind you that a nice girl like Sandy does not use foul language.

JO: (still yelling, a little) Well tell Blair to stor acting like a bi-

Natalie holds her hand up as a warning.

JO: witch.

TOOTIE: Blair, stop acting like a witch.

BLAIR: Well tell Miss Sandra Dee here to stop... to stop...

JO: Stop what Blair? What have I done?

Blair is silent.

JO: I thought so. And you know what? I also thought that you might actually be happy for me. I mean, for once I'm doing something like you and I'm doing good at it. Why can't I do something like that? Why won't you let me?

Blair is still silent.

JO: (to Nat & Tootie) C'mon guys, we've got a dress rehearsal to get back to.

Jo, Nat, and Tootie go back to the stage, leaving Blair to stare at their backs.


STAGE WING- NIGHT OF PLAY

Jo is pacing back anf forth in her Sandy costume. Blair walks in but Jo doesn't see her.

BLAIR: (quietly) Hi Jo.

Jo turns around surprised.

JO: What are you doing here?

BLAIR: I came to tell you that your parents and Eddie send their love and wish you luck.

JO: Tell them thanks.

A moment of silence goes by.

BLAIR: I also wanted to say that I'm sorry.

Jo turns and they make eye contact.

BLAIR: What I did to you the other day was a terrible thing to do. I did it because I was jealous.

Jo looks at her a little surprised.

BLAIR: I'm sorry.

Jo finally laughs a little.

JO: How long did it take you to practice that line?

BLAIR: I've been practicing all day.

JO: (smiles) Apologie accepted.

BLAIR: Good luck. I know you'll do great.

JO: Thanks.

BLAIR: I better go. It's about to start.

Blair turns to leave.

JO: Blair...

Blair turns around and Jo hugs her.

JO: Thanks.

BLAIR: Don't mention it.

They let go.

BLAIR: I really should go. Good luck Sandra Dee.

JO: Thanks.

Blair exits, leavig Jo to prepare.

That's it for now. I'll be back soon.

Just wanted to say that I like this, it's fun and different. Keep it up.

Keep up the good work. I really like it.

Ok everyone. This is it. I hope ya'll like it.


STAGE- NIGHT

In this scene the cast preforms the play. First it's 'Summer Nights.' Jo sings perfectly and catches a glimpse of her fans at the applause- Mrs. Garrett, her parents, Blair, and Eddie. Next is the Dance Contest where Jo preforms some pretty cool steps with Jack(remember him). Third is 'Your the One that I Want' and last is 'We Go Together' with Jo, Nat, Tootie, and the cast. Then it's the curtain call and Jo gets the loudest applause. As they give their final bow, Jack steals a kiss from Jo. She tries not to look angryand turns to see Eddie waving at her. She waves back nervously as the curtain falls.


BACKSTAGE- NIGHT

Jo, Tootie, and Nat are giving each other hugs. Jo has a bunch of flowers in her arms. Mrs. Garrett, Blair, Jo's parents, and Eddie come backstage.

MRS.G: Girls, you were wonderful!

They hug Mrs. Garrett. Jo then goes to her parents.

MRS.P: Jo, honey, you were great! I didn't know I had such a talented daughter!

JO: Thanks Mom!

They hug.

MR.P: Joanna Marie, I couldn't even recognize you!

JO: Awwww Pops.

They hug. Then Jo goes over to Eddie.

JO: Hi.

EDDIE: Jo, you were, amazing.

JO http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/frown.gifsmiles) Thanks.

EDDIE: I mean it. You were the most beautigul girl on that stage. Here, these are for you.

He hands her a bouquet of red roses.

JO: Oh, Eddie.

They start to kiss deeply. Jo's dad is watching them and clears his throst loudly. They seperate slowly and Jo glares at her father.

MRS.G: Why don't we all have a victory dessert, my treat.

NAT: Great. I've been so nervous that I haven't eaten a thing all day.

MRS.G: Let's go.

Mrs. Garrett, Nat, Tootie, and Jo's parents exit. Eddie has his arm around Jo but she's looking at Blair.

JO: (to Eddie) Honey, you go. I'll meet up with you in a minute.

EDDIE: OK.

They kiss one more time and then he exits, leaving Jo, and Blair together. They're silent for a moment.

BLAIR: You did great.

JO: So I've heard.

They smile at each other.

BLAIR: You know, Eddie was talking my ear off the whole night.

JO: Really? What did he say?

BLAIR: Oh, you know, 'That's my girl, isn't she beautiful? That's my girl.'

Jo laughs a little.

JO: He said that? I mean he's right but, he said it to you?

BLAIR: Yeah. He really loves you, you know.

JO: Yeah, I know.

They are silent for a moment.

BLAIR: You were great!

JO: (laughs a little) I know, you told me.

BLAIR: I could never do it better.

They smile at each other.

JO: Blair, thanks for not attempting murder on me tonight.

BLAIR: No problem.

A moment of silence goes by again.

BLAIR: Well c'mon Sandra Dee, I'm starving.

JO: OK.

Jo shoves all of her flowers into Blair's arms (like Blair might do) and starts to leave.


JO: Let's go.

BLAIR: Do I look like your slave?

Jo comes back and takes the flowers Eddie gave her.

JO: I couldn't do it better than you.

Jo starts off again and Blair follows her shaking her head in disbelief.


THE END

I hope you all really liked it. What do you think I should write about next? Or more so, should it be at Eastland, Edna's Edibles, or Over Our Heads? Let me know what you think.
