[Rebel Queen 1980]

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.
More to come soon! stay tuned!

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,

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!
