A Bad Day For Blair

[Nighthawk76]

(This story takes place during the 8th season of The Facts of Life)


It is in the early morning hours of a Tuesday. Jo and Blair are both deep in sleep. With a sudden scream, Blair wakes up, sits up in her bed, and turns on the light. The shine from the light awakens Jo.

Jo: Blair, what the heck is going on? What time is it anyway?

Blair: Forget about what time it is. I just had a terrible nightmare. It was awful.

Jo: Oh, come on Blair, everyone has nightmares.

Blair: Not like this.

Jo: Okay, okay, what was it about?

Blair: I dreamed that daddy lost his entire fortune and I ended up poor.

Jo: Oh, give me a break.

Blair: That wasn't even the worst part of it.

Jo: No?

Blair: The worst part was that I had to trade in my car for a Pinto. And I had to start buying my clothes at J.C. Penny.

Jo: Oh no, not J.C. Penny. It is the end of civilization as we know it when a Warner has to buy her clothes at J.C. Penny.

Blair: I wouldn't expect you to understand, Jo. You have been poor all your life. For me, it is a totally new experience.

Jo: What new experience? It was just a dream, Blair.

Blair: I think it was an omen, Jo.

Jo: Oh, come on, Blair, give it a rest. It was just a nightmare. It doesn't
mean anything. Now, if you don't mind, I'm going back to bed.

Blair: Some friend you are. You don't even care that I am going to end up in poverty.


Later in the morning Tootie, Natalie and Beverly Ann are eating breakfast when Jo and Blair come walking down the stairs.

Jo: Thanks to you, Blair, I didn't get any sleep last night.

Blair: And you think I did? I had another terrible nightmare. In it you were trying to suffocate me with a pillow.

Jo: That part wasn't a dream.

Beverly Ann: Is something wrong girls?

Jo: Yeah, Blair had a dream last night that she ended up poor. And now she thinks that it is going to come true.

Tootie: Oh, that is silly, Blair. Dreams don't come true.

Natalie: Of course they don't. I dream all the time that I am making out with Bruce Springsteen, but it has yet to come true.

Blair: Well, I had better get to school.

Blair leaves the room.

Tootie: It isn't like Blair to get all worked up over a dream

Blair: Oh, you guys know Blair. She almost fell apart the last time she had a run in her pantyhose.

Natalie: Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Wasn't she in therapy for that?

Blair comes running into the kitchen.

Natalie: What's wrong, Blair? Were you afraid that someone was about you use your hairbrush?

Blair: Somebody stole my car!

Part 2


The Peekskill police station later that morning. Blair walks into the station and over to an officer who is just sitting down behind his desk with a doughnut and a cup of coffee.

Blair: Exscuse me, officer...

Officer: I'll be with you in a couple of minutes, please have a seat.

Blair walks over to a chair that is located near to the officer's desk and sits down. The officer leans back in his office chair enjoying his doughnut and coffee. At least ten minutes pass before he is finished. Blair is beginning to get impatient.

Officer: Now, if you will come over to my desk, I'll help you with whatever your problem is.

Blair gets up from where she was sitting and goes and sits down in the chair in front of the officer's desk.

Blair: I would like to report a stolen car.

Officer: Are you sure it was stolen? Are you sure that you didn't just misplace it?

Blair: Yeah, I'm sure!"

Officer: Okay, okay don't get all excited. Such things have been known to happen. Someone drives up to the city, parks their car down some sidestreet and then forgets where they parked it.

Blair: Officer, I'm positive that the car was stolen. I left the house this morning to go to my classses, and the car was not on the driveway where it was supposed to be.

Officer: I see. Well, let me get the paperwork.

The officer opens up one of his desk drawers to look for the paperwork when a second officer walks up to his desk laughing.

Officer #2: You are not going to believe this. Someone parked a motorhome out front. The damn thing was taking up three parking spaces. I slapped a $50 ticket on the windshield.

Blair: Oh, no! I can't believe this. That is my motorhome.

Officer: Well, at least you now know where your car is.

Blair: It's not mine. I just drove it here. In that my car was stolen. It belongs to my friend, Beverly Ann.

Officer #2: Well, it doesn't really matter who it belong to. It is still $50 for a parking violation.

Thanks, Kelly.

I just thought that the idea of Blair driving Beverly Ann's motorhome (which she called a barn on wheels in "Off Broadway Baby" ) was hysterical.

Its good keep it up!

Part 3

Blair walks out of the Peekskill police station and walks over to Beverly Ann's motorhome and pulls the ticket out from under the windshield wiper.

Blair: Damn barn on wheels!

Blair walks around to the side, takes the key out of the her purse, opens the motorhome door and lets herself in. Blair turns the key in the ignition. Nothing happens. Blair starts throwing a tantrum, hitting the stearing wheel hard with her hands over and over again.

After she calms down a little, Blair pulls the key out of the ignition. She grabs her purse and walks over to the door. She opens the door. Before she even knows what has happened, a car speeding pass has torn the door of the motorhome off. Blair looks down at her hand and realizes that she has broken a nail.

Blair: Oh shoot, I broke a nail.

An hour later, Blair and Jo come walking into the house. Blair is only wearing one shoe.

Blair: I can't believe this! These were $300 shoes!

Jo: That is what you get for wearing high heels on a bike.

Blair: What was I supposed to do? It is not like I carry an extra pair of shoes with me. You could have stopped when I told you that my shoe fell off.

Jo: I didn't hear you.

Beverly Ann comes walking into the living room.

Blair: Hi girls. What are you both doing home? Blair, this may sound like a strange question, but why are you only wearing one shoe?

Jo: It's a new fashion statement.

Blair: Jo picked me up on her bike. My shoe fell off on our way back from the garage.

Beverly Ann (laughing) : Blair, you rode home on the back on Jo's bike?

Jo (laughing): I wish I had had a camera with me.

Blair: It was gross. The whole way home bugs were flying into my face and hair. Then when we turned onto Centeral, on our way home from the garage, my shoe fell off. $300 shoes!

Beverly Ann: Why were you girls at the garage?

Blair: Well Beverly Ann, I had a little incident with your motorhome. Don't worry though. The garage is fixing it up just like new.

The phone rings. Beverly Ann picks it up.

Beverly Ann (into phone): Hello...Blair, it's for you.

Blair (into phone): Hello...yes, this is Miss Warner...yes, my mother is Monica Warner...what!....yeah, thanks.

Blair hangs up the phone.

Blair: Can today get any worse?

Beverly Ann: Blair, what's wrong?

Blair: My mother was arrested. She's in jail.
