The Summer of '03-An FOL Reunion

Chapter 1- Peekskill,NY
Edna Garrett paced around the living room,She was nervous
and excited because a reunion was on the way,She could wait
to see Blair,Dorothy and Natalie again,but this reunion would
be extra special,Jo had also planned to attend.She thought
of many interesting subjects to talk about with the girls.

Chapter 2-New York,NY
Blair Warner sat down to read a magazine in her living room,
she decided she would relax before the big reunion,She smiled
as she suddenly thought back about Thanksgiving 2001,All
the fun,talk,laughter,memories,the delicious meal they had
shared and of course the dance at the end,but she wondered
if Jo would be there this time or would she decide to skip it again.

Chapter 4-Bronx,NY
Jo Bonner thought the reunion as she did the breakfast dishes,
She thought maybe Rick and Jamie wouldn't mind going alone again,she considered her job as a police officer very valuble,but
she had already told Mrs.Garrett she would be there,and she
did not want to hurt neither Rick, Jamie, or Mrs.Garrett.

Chapter 5-Washington D.C.
Dorothy and Tisha Ramsey were visiting family back at home,
Tisha loved Washington D.C.and her mom promised to take
to tour the White House and The National Capitol,She asked
her mom to take her camera and takes lots of pictures,She
could wait to see Jamie and tell about her exiciting trip.

Well should I keep going?,Please tell me if so!:wave:

Keep going! Sounds good so far.

It's great! Can't wait for more! Although, I do hope you can get some sleep!:)

it's good keep going!

Chapter 5 - New York,NY
Natalie Jason lay in her bed,she gotten up early as her two year
old daughter Melissa had woken her up,She had been up since
six thirty but that didn't bother her as they a had nice breakfast
and she had all her news stories typed for CNN,She had been
asked to travel as correspondence journalist in late April 2002
for coverage of The War on Terror,but Harper had told her to
refuse because he did not want to put her life in danger.

Chapter 6
Mrs.Garrett went into her bedroom and pulled out an photo album,there were pictures of Tootie,Natalie,Jo and Blair when
they attended Eastland,She laughed to herself as she saw
one picture of Tootie skating,She then felt tears in her eyes
as she looked at all of the girls graduation pictures,the tears
came down faster when she saw the last picture,It was one of
her wedding day,She and the girls had taken it right after
the ceremony,She couldn't believe how fast the girls had
matured quickly into four successful businesswomen.

Chapter 7-Bronx NY
Jo went into her bedroom and dug out two suitcases when
Rick entered,Rick had asked her two days before if she was
sure she could go this time,after all it was summer and Jamie
had wanted this trip to be their vacation trip,Jo had so far
worked with over 50 court cases,and sadly 37 of those turned out
to involve female gang members,Jo had once thought to herself
that could have been her had she never attended Eastland.,Jo
shook her head to clear her mind and packing the suitcases.

Chapter 8-New York,NY
Blair Warner had three suitcases packed when Tad arrived home
Tad had told her the Inn was ready for all of them when he entered,Blair nodded okay without looking at him and began putting her three outfits that she had bought at Bloomingdales
and some makeup into another huge bag,Tad always wondered
Blair had to always pack a million bags and never took only one
suitcase after all they were leaving the city,not the country.

Chapter 9-Peekskill,NY
Mrs.Garrett had just finished dinner and it was 8pm,she decided
to tune into television for awhile,She flipped through the channels
and decided Nick at Nite was best,She watched television until
ten o'clock and decided it was time for bed,she said her prayers
and then climbed into bed.smiling as she closed her eyes she
thought about what a great time the reunion was going to be.

Chapter 10-Washington D.C.
Tisha gazed out of their hotel room window,she loved that they
were in a room upstairs and it had a great view of the city,in fact
from their room you could see the National Monument,She and
her mother had a great day together they went to see the
Arlington National Cemetery,The Lincoln Memorial,The White House and of course The National Capitol,After that they decided
to visit more family for awhile before returning to the hotel,Dorothy then ordered room service so that they could have
dinner,Dorothy had the prime rib special,while Tisha had spaghetti,after they ate they talked about the days events,finally
they were both very tired and decided to go to bed.

Chapter 11-Bronx,NY
It was midnight when Jo got home,she it was very late but
she was hungry,she had eaten anything since she and her partner officer Rodriguez had grabbed donuts around eight pm,
but she didn't want to risk heartburn and besides she was
also very tired,so she decided to go sleep instead.

Chapter 13-Bronx,NY
Jamie was so happy,she was glad her mom decided to attend
the reunion,Jo was rarely off from work now and days,She deserved some time off,Jo always recieved a week long vacation

and Blair standing in the hallway,''Blair! and Tad!'' she exclaimed,
Blair put down her luggage to hug Mrs.Garrett,''Hello again Mrs.
Garrett how have you been?,''Just fine,why didn't you call I could
have waited downstairs to meet you all,''Mrs.Garrett that the
whole point behind reunions you don't call of say anything so
that you can surprise everyone who is going to be there.Blair said
''My gosh you're right I guess you're right Blair,Well welcome please yourself at home,''Before I do let go get this into our room,
and Tad and will back in a moment so that we can have a chat.''
''Fine with me,take all the time you need '' said Mrs.Garrett.
''Hidy-ho! Mrs.Garrett !'' Mrs.Garrett spotted Natalie rushing down
the hallway,''Natalie,good to see you again!,Where's Harper and
Melissa?,''They're checking in the lobby,and Melissa too busy crawling around the floor,but they'll be up in a second.''
''Hey guys!'' a voice came from the back.'',''Jo!'' Mrs.Garrett exclaimed!,Natalie smiled big in surprise also.''Hey!,you're back
too!,that's great,We all missed you last time!''.''I know,I've been
busy at work lately ,but decided to take time off and besides

room.''Ok.I'm back,''Natalie!'',you're here,yes I'm back,Harper

Ok,here's more.

Chapter 20-Peekskill,NY
Dorothy was driving at a steady pace in her light tan minivan,
Tisha was asleep in the front passenger seat,as she was sleepy
from waking up early,after all it was summer vacation,Tisha had
enjoyed sleeping late now that there was no school,Dorothy
enjoyed spending more time with Tisha now that they had lived
in Peekskill,The move from L.A. was a little hard,Dorothy had enjoyed doing her television talk show but she had thought moving would better for her and her daughter,besides she
lately she had thought alot about her late husband Jeff,and she
thought those painful memories of his death would affect them,
Dorothy parked near Tad's Wagoneer,she got excited as she saw
three more vehicles near it,She then awoke Tisha from her nap,
''Wake up honey,we're here!'' Dorothy said excitedly as she nudged Tisha,''We're here already'' Tisha said with a yawn and
then she smiled when she Rick and Jo's car in the parking lot,
''Oh good!,Aunt Jo's here,she said and unlocked her door,
''Not so fast,now how do we know that it could be just Rick and
Jaime just like Thanksgiving two years ago '' said Dorothy,
''You're right mom sorry I got too excited about that ''said Tisha
''It's alright honey,come on let's go check so we can go to our
room and then go have lunch together'' said Dorothy,and with
that she opened her car door,they got out quickly as the bright
summer sun shined down upon them,they closed and locked
their doors,and ran hurriedly to the Inn's office and went straight
inro the lobby,There they greeted Natalie,Harper,Blair and Tad.
''Hey guys we're here!'' Dorothy exclaimed as she them standing
near the front desk,''Great your room is upstairs''Tad said ''We will
all have rooms next to each other so that Blair doesn't have to
stop and ask anyone for directions when she needs someone.''
Tad kidded,Ha!,Ha!,very funny Tad Blair said sarcastically,then
they all laughed,''You'll never guessed who showed up Dorothy!
Blair said cheerfully,''Who? Dorothy asked,Come on upstairs''Blair
said,then she led Dorothy upstairs to Mrs.Garrett's room,The door
was closed as Mrs.Garrett and Jo were chatting for awhile,''Anyways Beverly Ann wanted to come down,but then she
had already promised Andy and Gina she would babysit the grandkids'' ,and-.She was interupted by a knock at the door,
''Well who could that be?''Mrs Garrett asked,''Well I guess you can
open the door and find out Mrs.G '' said Jo,Mrs.Garrett chuckled,and opened the door.''Dorothy!'' you're here!,''Hello Mrs.Garrett how are things? ''Just fine said Mrs.Garrett,''That's good to hear'' Dorothy said,''Jo!,you came!,that's great!,''Mom!,
where are you?,a voice called,It was Tisha trying to find out where their room was,''I'm here in Grandma's room honey.'' Dorothy called out to her daughter,Tisha stopped into the room,
''Hi Grandma,nice to see you again''Tisha smiled,''Tisha you have gotten so big!,it's great to see you.'' Mrs Garrett smiled back at her,''Aunt Jo!.you're here!,see mom I told you she' be here'' she
said as she ran to hug Jo,Jo hugged her back,''Well knew I couldn't skip out this time since I had called Mrs.G,and told her
for sure I'd be here.'' Jo said.,''Is Jamie here?,Tisha asked her in
a nice manner,''Yes she's in our room watching TV,it's the first
on the left straight down the hall.'' ''Thanks aunt Jo Tisha said
as she turned to leave the room,''No problem Jo said to her as
scampered off into the hallway.',''Well seems like old times again
now that were all together again''Mrs Garrett announced to them
they all smiled and joined a group hug before they all went into their rooms,It was lunchtime so they all decided to eat at a small
diner located in downtown Peekskill,It was tiny,but it still hosted a
good crowd of people during the lunch hour,they walked and the
waitress managed to squeeze into a large booth located at the
back of the cafe,she took their drink orders and handed them menus,they stared at the menus and decided what to order,
then they talked for a while until the waitress came back,they
then told the waitress what they wanted,the waitress scribbled
hurriedly on her order pad,but she was kind and gentle,not rude
and harsh like some waitresses are when there's a big crowd,
Twenty minutes l;ater they ate and talked some more,and soon
they were done,afterwards Mrs.Garrett suggested they all headed towards Eastland so the girls could go inside to tour
the boarding school they once attended and reminisce about the
good times they had in the past,they did just that,As they were
talking about working in the kitchen,Jaime entered wearing a blue
jean jacket and a red motorcylce helmet,''Excuse but I think that
this were I supposed to meet mom.'' she said,they all laughed but
Jo,''Jo did that sound familiar?''Blair asked,''What?' Jo said scowling,''Oh come Jo,that's the way you looked at us the day
when first arrived here at Eastland.'',''Great,now I'm the head topic of this conversation.''Jo thought to herself,meanwhile Blair,
Dorothy and Natalie joined in laughter,''Alright,already come it wasn't that funny.'' Jo rose her voice and they stopped laughing.

More to come,stay tuned!

Post more soon. Ya hear?

Well,there's nothing good on TV right now,so I'll post more.
Chapter 21-Eastland Academy Cafeteria-Peekskill,NY
''Oh my gosh can you believe it's still looks the same?'' Dorothy
said as they walked around the dining area,''Of course it looks the
same Dorothy,we were just here two years ago.'' Natalie said
in a mimicking tone,Then they all headed toward the lounge,
''Hey!,where's the pay phone?'' Jo commented,''Oh they got rid
of it last time we came here''.said Blair,''Well we've seen everything so let's leave'' said Jo,''Not so fast,Jo we still have to
look at old photographs and yearbooks,said Natalie,''Not that I
prefer not to see my youth all over again in photographs'' Jo whined,Dorothy laughed,''That's what everyone says once they
grow old,but it goes away when you recall days of beauty and youth again,''Well that's her point,Jo Polniaczek doesn't have days
of beauty to recall from youth'' Blair added,''Yah!,Watch It Warner
or your days of beauty will be over in one second!;'' Jo warned,
Blair backed down immediately,''You were right Blair,a reunion with Jo is full of self-pitied dull moments.'' Natalie commented,
They laughed as they looked at old yearbook photos,and groaned
as Blair bragged once more about being Harvest Queen,''Ah the
80's were such wonderful time.'' said Dorothy,''Yes I admit I loved
it when we were younger then,It was better back then.'' Natalie
said,''What's the worst thing we ever did here anyways besides
steal the school van and go to a bar,we were really all that innocent?,''Blair questioned,''Well we were except for Jo maybe .''Natalie added,''Why is everything is blamed on me,Jo
added,''Oh come Jo,you tried to harm everything when they crossed you path,remember what you did we had those French
visitors,Dorothy asked,''Dorothy,not the squirrel story again!,get
over it! Natalie said rudely,''Yeah,and besides he had it coming,
I told that he had crossed my turf and I had to defend it!'' Jo yelled,''Enough!,change the subject.'' Blair screamed,''Oh the things we have done,they have been stupid haven't they,yes
and were we stupid might I add,Yes.'' Dorothy said,''Well let's go
back and meet Mrs.Garrett before we start another stupid fight
over senseless little things again.'' said Blair,''Good idea'' they all
said and they all followed the door and started back to the Inn,
When they got back to the hotel Jamie and Tisha were in Mrs.Garrett's room watching television ,''So were have
you all been,''she asked the girls as they walked in the room.''
''We were at Eastland reminiscing like you told us to'' Natalie said,
''Good,did you talk about the good old times?,she asked again,
''Well we started to,but Jo wasn't too interested about it.''Natalie
said,''I understand Jo,sometimes it hurts people to recall the past,
some choose to remember it,others choose to forget it'',but girls
always remembing the past can calm your fears,whenever something bad happens or in times when I get sad or feel hurt,
I recall a good memory in my mind and smile to myself,Try it sometime,you'll avoid alot of life's stress that way''Mrs Garrett
said,''You're right maybe I do that instead'' Jo said ''It never hurts
to try,and never ever be afraid to cry when your hurt either,Crying
helps set out your anger and emotions out'' Mrs.Garrett added,
''It's a good thing I left early or else Iwouldn't have heard the end
of it.''Jamie said,They all laughed,''You mother is alot like you Jamie,Blair said ''Tough on the outside,yet sensitive on the inside and if she doesn't get her own way,watch out!'' they laughed again,''I guess you're right,mom's always told me that even though she had a quick temper,she still made friends with you
guys and was more of like the protector of the group.,''Ah,yes
Blair said,Us back then,Dorothy,pardon me but,I have to mention
Tootie once again,'' she added,''Well okay but only time'' Dorothy
said,''Natalie-the writer,never had a day without stories,Tootie-the resident gossip,if you ever wanted to find something out,just
go to her and she'd tell you everything,Jo-always constantly caring about motorcycles,she had quick tempers,a soft heart,
but was always ready to action whenever anyone put us down,me-
I had everything,beauy,talent,fashion was also my thing,but
I also loved to paint,I still do today,last but not least Mrs.Garrett
from school dietician,to gourmet food shop owner to counselor-
''Mrs.Garrett did alot more than watch our diets,or bake those
wonderful cookies and crossiants,she also gave us advice,if every
little problem we had we discussed with her,she always understood how we felt and she still does today,I just think no
else greater could have lead us to where we are today.''Blair said,
they all applauded,''That was wonderful Blair!,Thank you.''
''Anytime,for all of us'' ''The Five Musketeers''will always live on,
''Blair it's ''The Four Musketeers.''Dorothy said,''I know but we
can't single single out Mrs.Garrett,'' Blair added,''You're right,
Dorothy answered back,''Well let's head into our rooms to relax
for a while,then we can decided what too days on these last
three days up here'' said Mrs.Garrett,'Okay'' they all said and
with that they all headed back into their rooms to rest.
Still more too come,stay tuned!

Post more i need To READ istead of talk to a stupid woman

I hate to be a nitpicker so feel free to ignore me, but the cafeteria was going to be torn down. It was a small quick little scene in the reunion movie.

Well I know the cafeteria was being torn down Ryan,but I decided
to keep it in this story,Anways here's more,Sorry I haven't been here for a while,I was out with a bad stomachache over the
weekend,But I feel better,so here we go.
Chapter 22-Peekskill Little Inn-Peekskill,NY
That afternoon they all decided to all take a nap in their rooms,
until it was time to do something else,by three o'clock they were
all up and making other plans,''Well do you want to look around
this town tomorrow?''Mrs Garrett asked them,''Alot has changed
since 1988,alot of businesses have been shut down and the town
seems to be struggling every now and then.'',That's why Andy left
Peekskill,he was trying to find a better job and life,He said ''The
only life added to Peekskill was the Chug-a-Lug Bar,and of course
Langley College,''We know that for a fact,don't we Jo?''Blair teased Jo,''Ay!,watch it Warner,I'm not in the mood for your jokes.'' Jo rebuked,''I was just to make a point Jo.'' Blair said,''Girls
must nag on silly things now that we are women,Please try to have a normal conversation with the silly comments.''Mrs Garrett
demanded,They both agreed and said nothing else,''Well I like it
here because it's growing even though it stills seems kind of small,and I'd rather have Tisha go on to school just like I did,
instead of those dangerous schools that were around us in L.A.''
Dorothy said,''Well I still have to tough in the Bronx,Jaime then started having problems,truancy,talking back and she had
even refused to obey all my rules but that was when Rick and I were having problems and were getting a divorce,but now Rick had to behave himself and come back again once more.'' Jo said,
''Seems like to me you bumped right back into your teen years,Jo,
but I'm glad you've got everything under control.'' Mrs Garrett stated,''I don't mind New York City one bit anymore,It got better
once I moved out of that horrible Soho apartment,Then I met Harper and started work at CNN,I know always dreamed of being
a writer,but I never thought I'd see myself as a news journalist,
Natalie said,''Well my life remains the same,and I',m glad to be back in New York City,''It's funny,because Daddy once told me
''No matter where you go in life princess,you're always going turn
around and find your way back into the past.'' Blair said.
''I have been doing good the past fifteen years I have gone
everywhere now and then,I went to Appleton this spring with Beverly Ann and we went to visit the old farm,but it was gone,
the barn,the animals,the farmhouse everything,I cried so much
not knowing that back then all our memories were destroyed,
it felt kind like the time when the fire destroyed the shop.''Mrs.Garrett said,''It's okay Mrs.Garrett as long as you remember the past,that farm will always be there for you.'' Dorothy said,''Like you said to think of good memories when
ever things are bad or whenever we feel sad.'',You're right
thank you Dorothy.,''So I guess tomorrow we all see how
Peekskill has changed,and we can share more memories about
the joyous events that took place then and still do today.'' Mrs.Garrett said,''Oh,yes you guys The Father's Day Parade,
Fall Festival,many other events and The Winter Carnival
and Tisha and I have spent the past two Christmases at my house,Mrs.Garrett comes over to share dinner,and a family
members drop by,other than that the holidays remain the same.''
Dorothy said,

Ok guys here's more.

Chapter 23-Downtown Peekskill,NY
It was a cool but crisp morning,the girls and Mrs.Garrett decided
to tour downtown early so they left the inn at eight o'clock in the
morning,Dorothy,Jo and Natalie left their daughters at the hotel so they could sleep late and they drove off toward downtown,
They parked their cars in a vacant parking lot and then decided
to walk around were former businesses once stood.''
''Ok business still present today are the following,Peekskill Press,
and The Gelato Shop,gone businesses are Over Our Heads,Pete's
Deli,Edna's Edibles,not very many people have come to Peekskill
and as you can see the result is a very poor economical development,but people hope Peekskill will better some day.''Mrs
Garrett said sadly,''Well don't feel bad Mrs.G,nothing in my neighborhood has changed,now there is even more crime and
I hardly get anytime off from work,In fact I have come home late to a cold dinner around midnight or sometimes later,I'm sometimes just so tired that I all want to do is go to sleep,
but I can't because I feel the minute I do something will happen
and then someone would call me to go to go the station,but Rick
then holds me and tells everything will be fine and then he waits
until I fall asleep or else he'll just talk with me until I do.'' said Jo.
''Gees,and I thought running a talk was stressful,Ienjoyed when
I first got there in Los Angeles,but then I heard a lot people would
causes fights on the air,I didn't want that to happen so I quit,and
decided to move here hopefully I'll land a good job somewhere
but for now I go to help Mrs.Garrett everyday with her laundry
and other errands and then I go home to do mine.'' Dorothy
said.,''As a news journalist I've enjoyed writing stories,but in April
2002,I was asked to travel to Afghanistan to cover ''The War on Terror,but Harper didn't want me to because he knew about what happens to women over there and the death of that news
journalist last year really shook him up.'' ''Oh yes,that was so sad
he was so young and not to mention a soon to be father,I saw
that story on the news last year and it scared me.'' Mrs.Garrett
said,''Well it scared me too but I learned to get by,after all
I mean it's my job and I have to do it you know.''Natalie said
''We still manage the Inn here at Peekskill but I don't want to
leave New York,it's been great living there,Tad and I do alot we
go out on weekends and visit Natalie and her family every now and then,or take trips to see The Statue of Liberty,or other sites,
I love going to Central Park,Park Avenue and of course I love it
when we go to Times Square every New Year's eve,we've done that since 1989,we still do,last year we took along Harper and Natalie,we celebrate the holidays together just like old times.''
Blair said,''Well this is what you wanted to see girls,tomorrow,
we go back to the old neighborhood and reminisce more,then
the hotel is making us a reunion dinner at six o'clock in the evening,followed by a dance.''Mrs Garrett said,''Ok well let's get
back to the Inn,I'm sure everyone's waiting for us and somebody's going to be pretty grumpy if I don't get there in time.''
Jo said,''Oh Jo Jamie can wait until later to talk to you.''Blair said,
''I meant Rick.'' Jo said,They all laughed and then headed back.
More to come soon !,stay tuned!

Ok,since no one replied yet I'll post some more.
Chapter 24-Downtown Peekskill,NY
They all got in their cars and started towards the Inn,when
they arrived,Rick,Tad and Harper were downstairs talking in the
lobby,Tad had important paperwork to do but he decided to
put it off until after the reunion,''Where the girls Tad?'' Blair
questioned after they went in,''Oh they're upstairs in our room,
Tisha's watching a movie and Melissa's crawling around the floor,
and Jamie's lying down on our bed,but she's awake.''Tad replied,
''Rick can I not trust to watch her for once second!'' Jo yelled,
''Hey come down!,besides she's lying down,not trying to ride her
bike down the stairs .''Rick said,''Well at least you could watch her
while I'm gone.''Jo said,''That's why sent I her to Blair and Tad's
room with Tisha and Melissa,I didn't want you to come home
yelling to everyone how you're were going to kill me.'' Rick said.
''Geez,I sure would hate to be her husband.'' Tad whispered to Blair,Blair chuckled to her softly so that Jo wouldn't overhear her.
''Girls I have an idea why don't you all come on over to the house
for dinner tonight,We can talk and eat together once again just
like old times,We can have roast,potatoes,gravy,salad,green beans rolls and other fixings if you'd like.' Mrs.Garrett said
''Sound's great Mrs.Garrett!,said Blair,''Good idea,Mrs.Garrett
I can fix some lemonade if you want me too''Dorothy said,Great
that's all I need,and of course all of you bring your appetites.''
Mrs.Garrett said,''Sure thing Mrs.G,said Jo,''Agreed.'' said the rest.,
''I got an idea,we don't only the ladies ride in one car together,
and the men in another,we can take my van.'' said Dorothy,
''Good,Harper,Rick and I will ride in our Wagoneer.''replied Tad,
And with that they agreed and went outside to the vehiclrs,
Blair went upstairs and got the girls and they all squeezed into
Dorothy's minivan,Dorothy,Blair,and Jo rode in the front,while Natalie,Tisha,Melissa and Mrs.Garrett managed to find room in the
back.''Mom can you please turn on the radio.''Tisha called from the
back seat,''In a minute honey,first let me pull out of the parking
lot.'' Dorothy said as she started the engine and signaled to Tad
that she was pulling out,Tad motioned her on,and they drove off.
Dorothy then switched on the radio,a song by Busta Rhymes was
on,Tisha and Jamie immediately began signing along with the
tune.''Baby If you give it to me,I'll give it you, I know what you
want,You know I got it,''Baby If you give it me,they repeated.
They even tried imitating Mariah's Carey's part,Dorothy,Blair,Jo
and Natalie broke out laughing.'' ''I take it you like this song said
Jo interupting their singing,''Mom you know I like to sing when I hear when I hear music,Jamie said,''Do you all remember the time
we all went crusing here in Peekskill,and we all started singing,
'',Blair said''That was a riot!'' Dorothy added,''How about when we sang back up for El Debarge.'' Jo added,''Oh gosh,remember when we hated our group sexy
lingerie?''Natalie said,''Wait a minute,I was heard when they played an 80's song called ''Rhythm of The Night'' on the radio,
this dj then said ''Another big hit of 1985,by El Debarge.'',You
mean you all sang in their group Mom.''Tisha said,''Well it was
for a contest to sing with the group,we won it and we sang backup for a song called ''You Wear It Well.'' Dorothy said.

Chapter 25-819 High Street,Peekskill,NY.
They arrived at the old house and parked their cars,they looked
around the yard and the houses next door,They were heading inside when Dorothy pulled her came asked Tad to take pictures,
the first one was a group picture of ''The Four Musketeers''together,Dorothy on the right,Natalie next her with
one hand on Dorothy's shoulder,Jo kneeling down on her knees in the middle,Blair standing next to her with one hand on Jo's shoulder,then he took a picture of them along with Mrs.Garrett.
After that they went inside,the girls headed upstairs with Mrs.Garrett who said she had a surprise for them,Tad,Rick,and
Harper sat in the living room and the younger girls followed their
mothers upstairs,Upstairs they looked at their old bedroom,photo albums that Mrs.Garrett had made for each of them,the girls
all hugged Mrs.Garrett and thanked her for their albums,Jo,Dorothy and Natalie showed theirs off to their daughters and laughed as they talked about the past,Blair shared
her past with Mrs.Garrett and thanked for everything,As Blair came across her and Jo's graduation picture from Eastland,she stopped,''Oh!,that reminds me,Bailey just graduated from high school this year in New York,I forgot to tell you all.''Are you serious?!'''Natalie questioned,''Yes,she did and she was an honor
student,but she plans to attend college in Lubbock,Texas she
had earned several scholarships,.''Well how about that.''Mrs Garrett,Bailey turned out just like you beautiful and brillant Blair.'',
Blair chuckled,''Oh well she's only one in a million.'' ''Were you smart in high school mom?''Jamie asked Jo as they flipped through the album,''Sure I may have been a rebel back then,
but I was valedictorian of our graduating class.''Jo said,''You
graduated with Aunt Blair,Natalie and Tootie?''she asked again,
''No honey only with Aunt Blair.,and we went to college together.''
Jo added,''Mom I hope I turn out to be just like you.''Jamie
said,Jo hugged her,''Oh,God please help us!.''
Blair kidded,Jo laughed this for a while,and then scowled at her.,
They then headed downstairs and fixed dinner,the men were
watching a baseball game on TV,After awhile dinner was ready
and they sat down to eat and talk some more,they then had dessert and shared more memories,finally they decided to watch
television for a while until was time to head back to the Inn,
At nine o'clock they went back and they all went to bed.

The Conclusion will be up either tomorrow or Monday!

Hey guys,listen I'll the story tomorrow night,I was going to tonight,But I was watching that movie''Going For Broke'' on TV,
So back here Tuesday night for the conclusion!:wave:

Chapter 26-Peekskill Inn,Peekskill,NY
It was early morning and everyone was up,a beautiful rain shower was taking place outside,the weather was cooler,
Blair informed everyone at breakfast that the meal was to be
at the dining room that they had the Thanksgiving dinner in 2001,
Everyone agreed and looked forward to that meal together,
The day started with trivia games about 80's music,TV,movies
and much more nostalgia,after that Mrs.Garrett popped in a tape
of the last reunion inside a TV/VCR located in the hotel lobby,
Everyone laughed except Jo,she suddenly realized all of the fun she had missed two years ago,she tried
to reason with captian that year,but the captian had objected
saying a major court case on trial was more important.,
They then spent the day together watching videos until six o'clock,after a day spent watching movies such as ''Sixteen Candles,'',''The Breakfast Club.''and a TV movie Mrs.Garrett
had recorded called ''Strange Voices,''Adventures In Babysitting''
and the final one ''The Goonies.'' Everyone just wanted to relax,
It had seemed so odd to them that in the movie ''Strange Voices.''
the actress portraying the daughter with schizophrenia kind of looked liked Jo,Dorothy also said the girl from the movies
''Sixteen Candles and ''The Breakfast Club'' looked like Molly Parker in a way,They all laughed at the coindences and then
headed to the dining room,they all sat down and the kitchen
staff brought them glasses of water and champagne,Tisha
and Jamie were given glasses of soda.A short while the staff brought tons of food out,There were salads,sandwiches,entrees
of meat,chicken,fish and vegetables,relish trays,fresh fruit,breads
and so many other foods you could not name,The girls were surprised at this once again,but everyone ate happily and
the meal ended pleasently,they then had dessert,after dessert
just as everyone was about to leave the table,Mrs.Garrett stood up,''Um,Men,Ladies,I would like to kindly propose a toast,Everyone rose their glasses of champagne,Tisha and Jamie
rose their glasses of soda,''First to Blair.,young,beautiful,talented
and always on the verge of success,'',To Natalie a great writer
and wonderful friend to all,''To Tootie,for always being there,even
when it wasn't her business,and of course to Jo ''Tough,but with
a natural hidden intellect and a heart of gold this young woman
fought hard battles to get the victory of a successful life.''
Everyone said cheers!and clanked their glasses together,
After the meal ended,the dining room was cleared out,
and then the dance began,music from the 80's was played,
and Tisha asked Mrs.Garrett if they could request a song
from J-Lo,and Mrs.Garrett laughed and said''Honey,Jello is a type
of dessert,not a musician!'' Jamie and Tisha broke out laughing,
and Mrs.Garrett wondered all night what was so funny.''
The dj smiled as he played the songs.''Shakedown by Bob Seger
played loudly in the room.''Shakedown,Takedown,Breakdown,
everybody wants to do the crowd a round,take down,you're busted,Everyone danced to this song,after that the song playing
''Let The Music Play''by Shannon.''I say let the music play he won't
get away just keep the groove and he come back to you again.''
Mrs.Garrett and the girls were taking a break when the dj interrupted and said ''Attention,we havin a song going to Jo Bonner from your husband Rick who loves you very much,
Jo turned red from embarassment and Jamie shouted loudly
''Go mom!'' Tisha laughed as she said this,The song Rick had chosen was ''Joanna'' by Kool and the Gang,Rick insisted that
Jo dance this song with him,they left to the dancefloor ,and the
rest stopped talking to watch.The music was loud,but the voices
in the room was still audible.''Joanna,I love you,You're the one
the one for me.'',After the dance had ended it was time to say good-bye as they had all decided to leave tonight,They all hugged
one last time and told Mrs.Garrett that they had a wonderful time,
Mrs.Garrett hugged each of them tightly and tearfully let them go,
She also had given Jo a small pink guard,that had the Guardian
Angel prayer on it and she reminded her to say it every night before she left for work,Jo agreed to this,They all left relieved
the fifteen years had gone by and there was alot more said
this time,Hopefully ''The Facts of Life.'' will live on and on
for many more generations of fans young and old still to come!
