[foljbnt101]

great fan fic! the ending is really funny!

[iluvfacts14]

I loved it!! Very cute ending!!!

------------------
Mr. Bradley: .....and that girls is the thrill of victory!

Tootie: Or the agony of DA FEET!

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

(Tootie starts rambling)

Natalie (thinking): I am going to nail her mouth to the floor. I can picture it now there'd be a spike through her tongue, but the lips would still be moving. She'd just keep whining on and on about how she'd never do that to me because she's my best friend. And if it made me feel guilty about nailing her mouth to the floor than she's glad I did it and......
(stops and realizes everyone's looking at her)

[BlairW_1]

Great! I cracked up at the ending!

------------------
J: You mean 50/50? Uh... 50/50...50?
B: Good, Jo! Why don't you do the books?
----------
B: A fire! There's been a fire here!
----------
B: And how are we, Aunt Natalie?
N: We are suicidal!
----------
Bailey: They losted me!
----------
T: You mean the agony of da feet!
----------
T: Did I lie?
----------
T: They can't dance? Ha! That's like the pot calling the kettle black!
----------
N: E Pluribus Unum; have a nice day!

[JoPol_wannabe]

Great story. I loved the part where Blair had to take Jo out on a date and treat her like a lady. I also thought the ending was funny. Very good story.

------------------
JO: Oh no Tootie, I hate teaching people how to drive... They're always nervous, they make stupied mistakes, and they cry when you slap them.

Blair's Poem: "If you hit a dead end
Then Look on the shelf
There might be a clue
Maybe in a book."

Tootie: That's the pot calling the kettle black.

Nat: A flash back within a flash back... I'm so brilliant it scares me.

Great story! The ending was hilarious!
