April 14, 1992

[knocking at the door]

Beverly Ann: Hold Your Horses, I'm coming!

[More knocking]

Beverly Ann: I'm coming!

[Beverly Ann Answers the Door]

Beverly Ann: Tootie!
Tootie: Oh Hi Beverly Ann, how r u?
Beverly Ann: Oh, I have to wake Blair and Natalie up, they will be so surprised.

Beverly Ann: Girls!!!!!!!!!!
Blair: Can't you see that I'm still having a nightmare here!
Natalie: I want to stay in bed!
Beverly Ann: Come downstairs girls.
Natalie: Oh please, say I don't have to.
Beverly Ann: What if Tootie said it?

[Tootie walks upstairs]

Tootie: Hey girls!
Natalie: Tootie! Soulsister!
Blair: Tootie, what r u doing here?
Natalie: Yeah, where's Jeff?
Beverly Ann: I know u girls have so much to catch up on, but I think it's time to get some rest.

Tootie: Well, I thought that I would order a pizza. I haven't ate yet.
Beverly Ann: At 3:00 in the morning?
Tootie: Well, it worked before.

[Flashback scene in Take My Finals Please]

Beverly Ann: Why don't you just dream that you're feeding your face, and we will have a big breakfast in the morning!

Natalie: So why did you come up here anyway?
Tootie: I just wanted to spend some time with my friends.
Blair: But you can do that anytime, why at 3:00 in the morning?
Tootie: So, even if it was 4:00 in the morning, it wouldn't matter. As long as we're together.

[The girls go to sleep]

[The girls wake up]

Natalie: Tootie sure did act strange when she woke up today.
Blair: What do you mean?
Natalie: I saw her take her purse in with her to the bathroom, and I never heard the shower running.
Blair: Maybe since she's not living here anymore, she has to pay to use the toilet?
Natalie: And where's Jeff? She always brings him when she visits.
Blair: I dn't know Nat, but I'm sure it's nothing.

[Natalie walks upstairs to see Tootie]

[Natalie peeks through a crack in the bathroom door]

[Natalie sees Tootie taking pills]

Natalie: Tootie!!! What are you doing? Let me see those.
Tootie: I'm sorry Nat. I should have told you before.
Natalie: Told me what? Tootie, these pills are very dangerous. Let me read the label.

[The label reads: Caution: Only Take Two Pills When Needed. Consult With Liver Doctor Before Use]

Natalie: What's going on Tootie? You're scaring me.
Tootie: Natalie, I can explain.
Natalie: No Tootie, you should have explained earlier. I thought that we never kept secrets away from eachother, I thought we were soulsisters.
Tootie: We are...
Natalie: No we are not. What are you doing with these anyways? I have to tell Beverly Ann.
Tootie: No Nat, I will tell everyone.

[Beverly Ann, Tootie, Blair, and Nat In The Living Room]

Tootie: You are probably wondering why I'am taking these dangerous pills. It was about 2 monthes ago, and me and Jeff were going to see a horror movie, Kill Me At The Prom: The Next Generation. It looked scary, but it was probably just another stupid...
Natalie: Get to the point Tootie!
Tootie: Ok, we were driving along the road, when suddenly a deer ran across the road. Jeff tried to turn te best that he could, but we hit a tree and the car tilted into a swamp. The police came about 2 hours later and rushed us to the hospital. The doctor told us that Jeff wasn't going to make it. The accident hit him so hard, and hr air bag in the car broke his neck. He later died that night. The doctor told me to take 2 pills every night. They were to help my destroyed liver, that he couldn't replace. That's why I wanted to see you guys. You are like my family. I've decided to stop taking the pills, and see if any doctor in Peekskill will give me a liver. Can I stay at my real home, with my real family, you guys?

Natalie: You will always be welcome in my home.
Blair: You will always be welcome in mine.
Beverly Ann: You will always be welcome in your home.

[Tootie and the others hug]

Tootie: I have a doctor's appointment at 12:30, so don't let me forget.
Beverly Ann: I won't Tootie.
Natalie: Tootie, why couldn't you have told us right when you came in?
Tootie: Well, Beverly Ann looked half asleep, so I didn't want to...
Natalie: It doesn't matter Tootie, we can't keep secrets anymore. We're soulsisters remember?
Beverly Ann: Things are going to be just like they used to be.
Natalie: Where is Blair this morning?
Beverly Ann: She had to go to the beauty parlor to get her hair combed.
Natalie: To get her hair combed?
Beverly Ann: I told her the same thing.

[At the doctor's]

Tootie: Dr. Perkins, how am I? Is my liver recovering?
Dr. Perkins: Tootie, we took an ultrasound, and we found that your liver has gone. It burst sometime last night.
Tootie: What does that mean doctor?
Dr. Perkins: Have you ever heard of Ganzyiklovere Treatment and Transplant?
Tootie: No Dr.
Dr. Perkins: Let's just say it's either that or death. We need to get you into the hospital quickly. You need a transplant.
Tootie: Oh my god.

To Be Continued.

Natalie: Did they have lollipops there?
Tootie: Dr. Perkins said I need to go to the hospital. I need a liver transplant.
Natalie: Is this final? I mean, what else did he say?
Tootie; He said that it's veru risky, but it's either that or die. I need to be admitted tonight.
Beverly Ann: Tootie, I never thought that this would need to happen. I thought you would just pull through.
Tootie: It looks like I've been pushed too far for anything to pull me.

[In the winnebago, driving to the hospital]

Blair: I can't belive were in her winnebago again.
Natalie: We are not driving in your porshe!
Tootie: Stop it. I don't need this right now you guys.
Beverly Ann: What does it mean again when the light turns green?
Blair: Beverly Ann.
Beverly Ann: What?
Blair: Move it!

[In the hospital]

Tootie: My insurance should cover everything. It covered Jeff's stay.
Blair: That's ok Tootie. if you can't do it, or your insurance, my daddy would be glad to help.
Natalie: Can it Blair!
Nurse: Excuse me, but which one of you is Tootie Ramsey?
Tootie: That would be me.
Nurse: Hop into the wheelchair, I'll take you to the transplant ward. They got you a liver. The transplant will begin at 4:30 in the morning. Here's your roon. Get into a suit, and the Dr. will see you in a minute. Dr. Perkins will be back in a few hours, but his assistant will help you out.

[The doctor walks in 10 minutes later]

Tootie: Hello shorty...I mean Dr.
Natalie: Anyone in the mood for shrimp...sorry.
Dr. Jackson: I will be performing the transplant tonight. Did you take your pills?
Tootie: Which ones?
Dr. Jackson: The liver pill, and your pill for Big Macs.
Tootie: Both of them.
Dr, Jackson: None of your friends will be able to watch the transplant.
Tootie: They're not my friends.
Dr. Jackson: Oh thank god!
Tootie: They're my family.
Dr, Jackson: Oh lordy.

[Tootie preparing for the transplant]

Tootie: I never knew that watching reruns of Hello Larry could be this boring.
Beverly Ann: Your watching Wheel Of Fourtune honey.
Tootie: Ok..I see now. This is the one with Marsha, Cindy, Peter, Bobby, and Greg..right?
Dr. Jackson: I just took a nice, long shower with my nurse Edna.
Nurse Edna: Boy, you girls look familer!
Dr. Jackson: Ready Tootie?
Tootie: Yes.

[5 Hours Later]

Beverly Ann: Hopefully, the trasplant is over by now.
Blair: I hoep so. Whoever thought that easedropping Tootie would ever do this to us?
Natalie: It's not her fault. It's Jeff's fault, he's the one who got into the car accident.
Dr. Jackson: Hello girls. I have some bad news. We were over with the transplant, and Tootie was waking up. When she woke up she accidently crashed into the IV machine and her IV was dripping blood. I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry.
Beverly Ann: What happened to that girl?
Dr. Jackson: I made her watch reruns of the last season of Diff'rent Strokes and she, she.
Beverly Ann: What happened?
Dr. Jackson: She turned into Pearl!
Tootie [Pearl]: Well, hello everyone want any cookies?
Natalie: Wait a minute, that means....

Yeah but don't you think she would come back to be with Tootie in her time of need or whatever? -The story is good.....

"Your born,you move on,you die,that's life."-Jo
Nancy McKeon is #1!!

[callmetootie]

I think that Rick threw Jo into his piano and started playing, and he was arrested or something. That would make a good FanFic.

LAME!!!

[coily2]

callmetootie, I love you. Let's get married Your RIck comment cracked me up.

Jennel87, please try to keep your criticism a little more constructive. Comments like yours don't do anything except hurt feelings. Maybe you could point out exactly what was wrong with the ending without calling names.

[callmetootie]

LOL. Yeah, I had to think up an answer to what Jo was doing, and that's the first thing that popped into my head. That piano played mutated jerk, Rick. And I don't think I want to get married at the moment.
