[jofan4life]

Hey guys! Well I finally finished the story(Back in the Bronx) I changed the name though so if you already read the last post I made awhile back then you might want to skip a few parts.

Taking Advice
(Takes place in Season 5)


(Jo Blair Nat and Tootie are all in the living room)
Jo: I can’t wait to go back to NYC and the Bronx!
Blair: Jo you say that every time but when you come back you say you had a lousy time.
Jo: Well the times I say that are usually when I am with you shopping at Bloomingdales (goes upstairs)
Blair: I never went to Bloomingdales with her. That would be too embarrassing.
Nat: Blair would you hush up we are trying to watch Different Strokes!
Tootie: These people sure do look familiar.
Blair: (Walks into shop)
(Upstairs)
Jo: (Packing for trip)
((Phone rings))
Jo: I’ll get it! (Answers phone) Hello? Hey! What’s up? Oh I see. Well I don’t know. I’ll try my best. Yep ok see ya soon bye!
((Blair walks in))
Blair: Who was that?
Jo: …(thinking about phone call)
Blair: Jo? Jo?!
Jo: Huh? Oh wrong number.
Blair: Oh. (Goes downstairs)
Jo: Oh boy Jo I think you really got yourself in a mess. I wonder how If I can keep the gang a secret.
(Downstairs in the living room)
Blair: Jo is acting really weird.
Nat: Would ya leave Jo alone! Just because she does stuff differently than you doesn’t mean she is weird.
Tootie: Yea.
Blair: No I am serious I mean she isn’t acting like her normal weird self.
((Jo comes downstairs))
Jo: Hey guys.
Nat Tootie and Blair: Hi.
Nat: So Jo what are you gonna be doing in NYC?
Blair: Probably rob a bank (says to herself)
Jo: (Gives Blair a look saying “Shut up”) Well I think I might…and then I might…well that’s about it.
Tootie: Wow sounds like fun.
Nat: Jo you’re hiding something aren’t you?
Jo: Um…yes but you have to promise not to tell. (Looks at Tootie) Tootie you might want to leave.
Tootie: Why doesn’t anybody believe I can keep my big mouth shut? (stomps upstairs)
Nat: Okay Jo spit it out.
Jo: Okay well the leader of The Young Diablos was the one who called.
Blair: How could they call they can’t afford a phone or even a pay phone. I bet they stole it.
Nat: Blair I don’t think that’s what Jo is getting at.
Jo: Thanks Nat. Well anyways they want me to come to their hideout in the Bronx when I get there.
Blair: How do they know you’re coming?
Jo: Beats me. That is the least of my worries right now. I wanna know why they wanna see me.
*************At Train Station*********************
Jo: Blair listen I was wondering if um… well if I could ask ya for some advice.
Blair: Jo you are my best friend even though you don’t always show it. So go ahead ask away.
Jo: Well that gang…well… I think they want me back. If I say no who knows what will happen to me. If you tell anyone what I am about to say I swear that you will never want to look in a mirror again. Promise not to tell?
Blair: (Sighs) Yes I promise.
Jo: I am really scared.(Holding back tears)
Blair: Jo, you know you don’t have to go on this trip. Just tell Mrs. Garret.
Jo: No. I am tired of asking other people to handle my problems.
Blair: Then what was that you were talking about to me? Jo there is nothing wrong with help. If you don’t wanna tell then just make up some excuse like you aren’t feeling well.
(Mrs. Garret walks in)
MG: Well Jo are you ready to go?
Blair: (Gives Jo a desperate look saying “tell her”)
Jo: Mrs.G I’m not feeling too good I think I might stay home.
Blair: (Smiles at Jo)
Jo: (Smiles back at Blair)
MG: Well okay. Are you sure?
Jo: Yeah I’m positive.
Blair: Mrs. Garret why don’t you go try and get a refund on Jo’s ticket. We’ll wait right here.
MG: Okay. (Keeps looking back at Jo)
Jo: Listen Blair…I …um…well… thanks for the advice.
Blair: Hey (puts arm around Jo) what are friends for?
Jo: (Looks at Blair and smiles)
(((Screen freezes and credits roll)))
