Hello everyone! Hope you all enjoy this story..This is my very first story so be nice! *L* Tell me what you think when you are done reading,Please!! (I am writing a Reunion Aswell)
Beware it is Long!
A woman walks out the doors of the Gucci shop with a beautiful blonde child
In a stroller. She pushes the stroller to the sidewalk right outside and looks
Down at her watch,and shakes her head. As if she is waiting for someone. She walks
To the front of the stroller and tucks her daughter in. Just then
She hears a weird roaring noise and looks up from her baby. There right in front
Of her is a motorcycle with a Cadillac parked right in the back of it. The
Girl on the motorcycle takes off her helmet, and exposes her brunette hair. The
Blonde woman driving the Cadillac gets out and walks to the woman. Hello Mother.
each of the woman kisses the air
"How's my beautiful baby sister?"
"She's doing great dear." the Woman Replies.
"How are Ya Monica?" says the brunette holding her helmet.
"Fine thanks."
The blonde walks to the back door and opens it. As she says, "Scoot over Tootie."
Motioning to move over...
"Sorry Blair!" a voice says sarcastically.
"So what are you girls going to do today?" Monica asks.
"Well, we are going to take Bailey to the shopping mall" Blair reply’s as she
Is putting the car seat in the back seat beside Tootie while her mother is holding
Bailey.
"Yeah, and I am the chauffer!" The brunette says in a sarcastic voice as she
Rolls her eyes.
"Nonsense, Jo, I only asked you to lead so you could clear the way! You
know when people see you coming they all run they simply don't trust you on
the road!!" Blair giggles to herself.
"Actually, Monica she didn't have much room in here for Jo!" says the girl in the front seat!
"I see dear!" Monica replies as Blair takes Bailey from her and sits her
Gently in the car seat and buckles her in. Then walks to the back and folds up the rest of the stroller and puts it in the trunk.
"Oh, I am going to be late!" Monica says looking down at her watch. Then walks
to her baby and kisses her on the cheek "Be a good girl Bailey!"
The baby giggles.
Monica walks to Blair and hands her the diaper bag and kisses her lightly on the cheek,"Well I am off bye everyone!" Monica Waves and walks away.
Blair then gets in the car and waits for Jo to leave.
Jo looks back at Blair sitting in the front seat off her Cadillac motioning Jo to go ahead a leave.Jo Laughs and puts on her helmet and starts her bike.
Jo pulls into the shopping malls parking lot with Blair behind her
As they both are looks for double parking spots so they can park by each other.
Finally they find two side by side and park. Jo gets off her bike and takes off her helmet and puts it underneith her arm as Blair steps out of her car,"Hey Blair, you mind if I put my helmet in your car?"
"Sure, but I don't see why anyone would steal a crummy helmet like that!" Blair replies.
Jo rolls her eyes Tootie opens the back door of the Cadillac and stands up,
"Oh sweet civilization at last!" As she breathes in the air that smells like wet tar from the newly paved parking lot and looks at Nat.
While Jo walks over and puts her helmet in the drivers seat of the car.
"You smell that Tootie, That's not civilized that is TAR! Jo says
"Tootie don't over exhilarate yourself you are not even inside yet! ", Nat replies.
"Natalie, will you help me.” Blair says with her head in the trunk I can't seem to get this stroller out of her."
"Just leave it Blair we can all take turns holding the Car seat, Bailey isn't that
Heavy yet ", Natalie reply’s calmly
"Okay, if you say so." Blair reply’s back as she sighs in relief and closes the trunk door, and locks it.
"Come on I can't wait to see all the stores!!" Tootie says anxiously.
Blair bends down and picks up the car seat with Bailey in it.
"Well, lets get going." Blair says as she shuts the door and turns her alarm on.
All 4 girls and the baby walk up to the door of the mall.
"Now, Blair I want to come out of here sometime today!" Jo says.
Blair opens her mouth about to say something when Tootie says,"Come on this is no time To fight. Don’t spoil my moment! ”Tootie says opening one of the big glass doors of the Mall. Letting Blair walk through with Bailey.
As they all walk in Tootie says, ”All these stores at once makes Peekskill look so small!”
“Tootie, It doesn’t make Peekskill look small Peekskill is Small!” Blair says.
As they walk down the big hallway of the mall. Jo notices two men dressed in black suits lounging against the wall by the restrooms. They follow the girls with their eyes as if they knew who one of them were. They walk past the two men. When Jo asks in a low voice,”Did any of you notice those two men who were starring at us when we walk past?” Tootie replies,”Nope not me.”
“Were they cute? If so don't worry Jo they probably weren't looking at you anyways!” Blair says kidding.
“Oh okay, I must have just thought they were looking at us.” Jo says sarcastically.
After 10 minutes all the girls forget about the two men.
“Jo, it’s your turn to hold Bailey.” Blair says.
“Fine.” Jo replies.
She takes Bailey’s car seat from Blair and looks down at Bailey and says,
“I guess it is just you and me kid.” And tickles the baby.
“Well, I am off to buy something expensive. Let’s all meet at “Books Magazines Galore” In a hour.” Blair says to the rest of the girls and walks off.
“Wait, wait a minute here. You are trying to say I get left with Bailey all by myself?” Jo asks suddenly.
“Yep, You’ll do fine Jo!” Nat says and walks towards the store “Writers and Things”
“Tootie!” Jo says worriedly. Knowing Tootie is her last chance.
“Jo, you can handle a little baby for one hour.You have put up with Blair,seems like forever.” Tootie replies, “If you need me I will be at 'Costumes of the Rich and Famous'!”
Jo looks down at Bailey well where do you want to go. (Pauses) Why am I asking you? You can’t even talk!” Jo smiles at Bailey and walks down the hallway to “Motorcycles, Sports Etc.”
As she walks in the doors of the shop she looks around and sees a nice bike in the corner, ”Wow, look at that Bailey!”
A worker sees Jo looking at the bike and walks over to her and asks, ”Hello, may I help you?” in an accent.
Jo looks up from the motorcycle, ”Hey, Jesse is that you?” Jo says surprisingly.
“Depends who’s asking.” Jesse says with excitement in her voice.
“Jo, how are ya?
“I am great. I can’t believe how much you changed!” Jo says.
“Me, neither I didn’t recognize you with a baby. I know we haven’t talked in that long, but a baby is not what I expected!” Jesse replies looking at the baby then at Jo.
“No, no Jesse this is Blair’s sister, Bailey. It was my turn to carry her.” Jo says looking at Bailey.
"Blair,sounds familiar. Hey that’s the one I met in the café right? With her friend Princess Grace!” Jesse asks with a smile.
Jo laughs, “Yep, That’s the one!”
“I am trying to teach Bailey a few things about automotive before her mother and sister sets in with the “Warner Basics”. She might not be able to talk, but she can listen.” Jo says jokingly.
“So where is her prissy sister now?”
“Well I don’t know I have to meet her and the rest of the girls at Books Magazine Galore in a hour. That was about (Jo looks at her watch) 45 minutes ago!” Jo says surprisingly and looks at Jesse. “If I am late she will send out a 50 men search party to find Bailey!”
“You better get going we wouldn’t want that.” Jesse laughs.
Jo puts Bailey’s car seat down right next to her feet. Stands back up and give Jesse a hug goodbye. Jo looks behind Jesse and notices the two men she seen when they first entered the mall. Jo lets go of Jesse and says, “I better be on my way,Bye Jesse.” She picks up Bailey, and waves then walks out of the store unsurely toward the other side of the mall to where she is supposed to meet the others.
As Jo is walking towards the Books, Magazines Galore she keeps looking in store windows so she can see the reflection of who is behind her…Once she is one store away from where the other girls are she turns quickly around with Bailey's car seat held tightly in her right hand expecting to see the two men,but they weren't anywhere in sight. She shrugs and walks a little further forward into Books Magazine Galore where Blair is sitting in a big reading chair looking through "Italian Vogue" with about 10 bags around her on the floor,and Natalie beside her on a long grey couch looking through a Mel Gibson book with Tootie looking over her shoulder pointing at pictures and saying ooooo Wow! Jo stops for a sec and just looks at them and smiles. Then she walks to where they all are and says,"Well,I am starving how about lunch?"
Blair looks up.."Oh,there you are Bailey Honey!"reaching for Bailey.
"Where have you been baby?" taking Bailey out of her carseat and holding her in her lap.
"Where did you go with her Jo?" Blair says innocently.
"You know. I really wanted to buy her a black leather jacket,but they didn't have one in her size. Better Luck Next time!!" Jo says sarcasically looking at Blair and then gives that little innocent smile.
Tootie looks up, "Good one Jo!" laughs.
"Oh Jo look at this picture of Mel,isn't he a hunk?" Nat says showing Jo the picture.
Jo looks at the pic and says,"The only hunk I want right now is a hunk of turkey slapped on some rye bread!" Jo says and laughs.
"Okay,okay we get the point come on Blair lets go to that little cafe a ways down called "Anyones Caf'e". Tootie says.
Yeah,I heard is has great food at a reasonable price." Nat says putting the Mel Gibson book on the shelf next to her..
Blair puts Bailey back into her car seat and stands up and looks down.
"Jo,Natalie,Tootie?" Blair looks at them in a sad face then looks down at all the bags.
"Blair why do you by so much stuff if you know you can't carry it all yourself?" Nat asks as all the girls walk over and pick up a few bags each. While Blair only picks Bailey up and walks off.
"Well,that is simple! I knew I needed all this stuff for my spring wardrobe,and besides you are all here to help me"Blair says and smiles.
"This caf'e you are taking me to doesn't have pictures of green hamburgers in the menu like the one Jo took us to when we were kids,does it?" Blair says walking out of the shop with the other girls following.
"What are you talking about Blair?" Tootie asks.
"Oh,Nothing Tootie it was when just Nat,Jo and I went to New York." Blair replies.
As the girls are walking toward the caf'e chit-chatting to each other.Blair sees a little designer shop.
"Can we just stop here one little second?" Blair says in an innocent voice.
"Blair!" Jo says.
"Oh Blair,another designer shop?" Tootie says in a whinning voice,as she walks in behind Blair.
"You guys stop whinning we will be in and out in a "jiffy"!" Blair looks down and laughs. (Remembering the older man who she was stuck in the elevater with.)
The girls walk over to a line of chairs on one side of the shop.Drops the bags and sits down.
After an hour of sitting there Jo gets up and walks to Blair,"We are leaving now.Are you coming with us?" Jo explains to Blair.
"Yeah,just let me ring up." Blair says knowing Jo is annoyed.
"Okay." Jo says stearnly.
Jo walks to Natalie and Tootie and says,"She is coming now."
"If that is Blair's one little second I would hate to see her minute!" Nat says.
Jo giggles and sits back down and folds her arms waiting.
Blair walks over to them and says,"Well lets go!"
The girls stand up and pick up the bags they had carried in an hour and a 10 minutes earlier and walks out of the shop. With Blair behind them.
"Wow,Bailey is getting heavy." Blair says.
"Well you were the one who agreed to not bring the Stroller." Jo replies. Looking back at Blair walking with 4 bags of clothes in one hand and Bailey in her car seat in the other.
"This is so heavy." Blair says whinning.
"Blair,stop whinning it is your sister." Tootie replies.
"Yeah and might I add your bags with your clothes in them!" Jo says.
"Yes I know." Blair says walking a few more steps.
Blair *sighs* "No Blair I am not carrying your bags!" Jo says looking at Blair from over her shoulder.
"Okay Jo!" Blair says and then *sighs*
Jo stops and says,"Okay give them to me Blair." She takes the bags from Blair and says,
"Okay,Blair,that better? No more whinning?"
"Yes,thanks a lot Jo.You didn't have to do that!" Blair says.
"Oh yes I did or I would have smacked you.You know how much I hate you sighing!" Jo replies.
"You hate when I sigh?" Blair says in a surprised voice.
"Yes you knew that.That's why you do it so you can get your way!" Jo says while walking toward the caf'e.
"Me? I wouldn't do such a thing!" Blair says in a little voice.
"Yes you would Blair!You do it all the time to Jo!" Natalie replies while walking.
"No I don't! Well maybe sometimes." Blair replies with a little smile on her face.
The girls all reply,"We know!" after that they were silent besides the clicking of Blair's high heels on the ground,and the acassional .."ooo look" from Tootie as they walked along.
When they got to the caf'e the girls get lead to a table by a waitress.
The girls all sit down and Blair sets Bailey on the floor in her car seat between her and Jo.
The waitress then asks,"What would you all like to drink?" she then looks a Nat first.
"Umm,I'd like a sprite,please." Nat replies.
The waitress writes it down and looks at Blair.
"I would like a glass of water with a touch of lemon please." Blair replies and looks at the waitress then down at Bailey."Oh ,Also can you warm up this formula for my sister?"
"That cute little baby isn't yours?" The waitess asks.
Jo smirks.
"Oh no she is my little sister Bailey.My friends and I volunteered to take her to the mall while my mother was at a meeting."
"Correction,She volunteered and we got dragged into it." Natalie Replies.
"Oh okay. Yeah I will warm up the formula" the waitress takes the bottle from Blair.
The waitress writes down Blair's water on her notepad then looked at Jo.
"Cherry Coke,Please." Jo says looking up at the waitress.
"and You miss?" The waitress says looking at Tootie then writing down what Jo ordered.
"Hmm,give me a Coke please." Tootie replies and smiles at the waitress then looks at the rest of the girls.
The waitress walks away and Tootie get's up to go by a paper in the corner of the caf'e.
"So how was Bailey when she was with you,Jo?" Blair asked.
"She was great didn't hear a peep out of her!" Jo smiles.
"You will never guess who we seen,and what she thought." Jo says.
"Who Jo?" Blair asks anxiously
"Jesse!! You wouldn't believe it! She changed so much,and she thought Bailey was my daughter!" Jo says laughing.
"That's ridiculious!" Blair says.
"That's what I told her!" Jo replies.
Bailey then starts crying.."It's okay honey..Your formula will be right back all warm and good." Blair says in a little voice looking at Bailey and rocking her car seat.
Bailey stops crying and falls asleep within minutes.Blair then goes back talking with the rest of the girls.
Tootie comes back to the table and sits down and says "Look at that guy,he is gorgeous!"
"Where?" Blair replies.
"Yeah,Where Tootie?" Jo asks looking around the caf'e.
All the girls look toward the paper rack.
"Oh,I guess he left. Too bad you guys didn't see him." Tootie replies disappointed
"That's okay Tootie you probably didn't see him either!" Jo says and laughs then looks down to where Bailey is.
"Blair you have Bailey in your arms right?" Jo asks without looking up.
"No,Why Jo?" Blair asks looking down.
"Oh No Jo where is Bailey?" Blair says getting up real fast and looking around for her sister.
All the girls get up and run around the Caf'e hoping to see her somehow somewhere.
Blair looks all around the tables. Natalie runs to the back and looks around. Tootie runs out into the hall way and sees a man in a black suit running with Bailey under his arm.
"Oh,No come quick that man Jo told us about has Bailey." Tootie says with fear in her voice. As she starts running out the caf'e after them.
All the girls come running out of the caf'e leaving their stuff behind.
Jo catches up to Tootie..
"Wait for me Jo!" Blair yells ahead of her running as fast as she can in high heels.She stops and takes the shoes off and starts running again.
When the man gets out the door of the mall he jumps into a tan car where the other man is waiting and drives off.
Jo runs to her motor cycle and starts it up..When Blair catches up and gets on and wraps her arms around Jo and shuts her eyes.
Jo shruggs and puts her bike in motion,and they drive off..When they drive by Tootie and Nat,Blair hears them yelling and opens her eyes and throws her car keys to them. Tootie catches them and the girls run to the car and gets in and start right following Jo.
Blair and Jo finally caught up to the two men in a couple minutes.
"Blair,We are almost caught up to Bailey and the men!" Jo says very loud.
"Okay!" Blair yells with her eyes pressed shut and her arms around Jo's waist tightly as if she was holding on for deal life.
As they Jo pulls right beside the car the man swirves and almost hits the girls. Jo swirves and the car misses them.Blair finally opens her eyes and looks at the car and the man driving.
"Oh No,Jo! I have seen that man before! He works with my father!" Blair says with worry in her voice.
Right then the man speeds up and loses control of the car and runs off the side of the road and flips over.
"BAILEY!" Blair yells in fear.
The girls catch up to where the accident is and start slowing down when they are about to reach the car. When one of the men get out and start running down the road.
"Blair you go get Bailey and I will get this jerk." Jo says coming to a stop and letting Blair off. Then speeding off again.
Blair walks to the car slowing afraid of what she will find when she hears her sister cry. Blair gets on her hand and knees to look in side of the car. When she sees the other man laying there unconsious and Bailey laying in a corner of the car screaming.
"It's okay Bailey I will get you out of here honey." Blair says in a soothing voice to the baby.
Blair crawls into the car and grabs her sister gently. She sits in the upside down car holding and rocking her sister back and forth.
Tootie and Natalie then pull up and Blair crawls out from inside the car and run to them cradling her sister in her arms with tears coming down her cheeks.
"I was so scared for Bailey! Once in my life I wasn't worried about what would happen to me." Blair says looking at the girls.
Blair then looks down at Bailey and says "I love you Honey!" as Blair starts crying.
Tootie and Natalie then come closer to Blair and put their arms around her.
They then all let go because they here the roaring of a motor cycle and sure enough her comes Jo.
"Is she alright,Blair?" Jo says worried.Before she even got off her bike.
"Yeah,Thanks to you Jo. If it wasn't for you she could have still been with those strange men,and who knows what else." Blair says walking to Jo.
"No sweat! I am just glad Bailey is safe." Jo replies.
"Speaking of those men where is the one that took off?? Blair asks.
"Oh,I caught him then a police officer showed up and took him away!"Jo replies to Blair "He called for back-up so the police should be here soon!"
"Okay,Thanks Jo I owe you!" Blair walks over to Jo and gives her a hug and Jo hugs her back and says,"No we are friends you don't "owe" Friends!"
Tootie and Natalie smiles and walks over to the girls and put their arms around them.
The End.

"Wow,Bailey is getting heavy." Blair says.
"Well you were the one who agreed to not bring the Stroller." Jo replies. Looking back at Blair walking with 4 bags of clothes in one hand and Bailey in her car seat in the other.
"This is so heavy." Blair says whinning.
"Blair,stop whinning it is your sister." Tootie replies.
"Yeah and might I add your bags with your clothes in them!" Jo says.
"Yes I know." Blair says walking a few more steps.
Blair *sighs* "No Blair I am not carrying your bags!" Jo says looking at Blair from over her shoulder.
"Okay Jo!" Blair says and then *sighs*
Jo stops and says,"Okay give them to me Blair." She takes the bags from Blair and says,
"Okay,Blair,that better? No more whinning?"
"Yes,thanks a lot Jo.You didn't have to do that!" Blair says.
"Oh yes I did or I would have smacked you.You know how much I hate you sighing!" Jo replies.
"You hate when I sigh?" Blair says in a surprised voice.
"Yes you knew that.That's why you do it so you can get your way!" Jo says while walking toward the caf'e.
"Me? I wouldn't do such a thing!" Blair says in a little voice.
"Yes you would Blair!You do it all the time to Jo!" Natalie replies while walking.
"No I don't! Well maybe sometimes." Blair replies with a little smile on her face.
The girls all reply,"We know!" after that they were silent besides the clicking of Blair's high heels on the ground,and the acassional .."ooo look" from Tootie as they walked along.
When they got to the caf'e the girls get lead to a table by a waitress.
The girls all sit down and Blair sets Bailey on the floor in her car seat between her and Jo.
The waitress then asks,"What would you all like to drink?" she then looks a Nat first.
"Umm,I'd like a sprite,please." Nat replies.
The waitress writes it down and looks at Blair.
"I would like a glass of water with a touch of lemon please." Blair replies and looks at the waitress then down at Bailey."Oh ,Also can you warm up this formula for my sister?"
"That cute little baby isn't yours?" The waitess asks.
Jo smirks.
"Oh no she is my little sister Bailey.My friends and I volunteered to take her to the mall while my mother was at a meeting."
"Correction,She volunteered and we got dragged into it." Natalie Replies.
"Oh okay. Yeah I will warm up the formula" the waitress takes the bottle from Blair.
The waitress writes down Blair's water on her notepad then looked at Jo.
"Cherry Coke,Please." Jo says looking up at the waitress.
"and You miss?" The waitress says looking at Tootie then writing down what Jo ordered.
"Hmm,give me a Coke please." Tootie replies and smiles at the waitress then looks at the rest of the girls.
The waitress walks away and Tootie get's up to go by a paper in the corner of the caf'e.
"So how was Bailey when she was with you,Jo?" Blair asked.
"She was great didn't hear a peep out of her!" Jo smiles.
"You will never guess who we seen,and what she thought." Jo says.
"Who Jo?" Blair asks anxiously
"Jesse!! You wouldn't believe it! She changed so much,and she thought Bailey was my daughter!" Jo says laughing.
"That's ridiculious!" Blair says.
"That's what I told her!" Jo replies.
Bailey then starts crying.."It's okay honey..Your formula will be right back all warm and good." Blair says in a little voice looking at Bailey and rocking her car seat.
Bailey stops crying and falls asleep within minutes.Blair then goes back talking with the rest of the girls.
Tootie comes back to the table and sits down and says "Look at that guy,he is gorgeous!"
"Where?" Blair replies.
"Yeah,Where Tootie?" Jo asks looking around the caf'e.
All the girls look toward the paper rack.
"Oh,I guess he left. Too bad you guys didn't see him." Tootie replies disappointed
"That's okay Tootie you probably didn't see him either!" Jo says and laughs then looks down to where Bailey is.
"Blair you have Bailey in your arms right?" Jo asks without looking up.
"No,Why Jo?" Blair asks looking down.
"Oh No Jo where is Bailey?" Blair says getting up real fast and looking around for her sister.
All the girls get up and run around the Caf'e hoping to see her somehow somewhere.
Blair looks all around the tables. Natalie runs to the back and looks around. Tootie runs out into the hall way and sees a man in a black suit running with Bailey under his arm.
"Oh,No come quick that man Jo told us about has Bailey." Tootie says with fear in her voice. As she starts running out the caf'e after them.
All the girls come running out of the caf'e leaving their stuff behind.
Jo catches up to Tootie..
"Wait for me Jo!" Blair yells ahead of her running as fast as she can in high heels.She stops and takes the shoes off and starts running again.
When the man gets out the door of the mall he jumps into a tan car where the other man is waiting and drives off.
Jo runs to her motor cycle and starts it up..When Blair catches up and gets on and wraps her arms around Jo and shuts her eyes.
Jo shruggs and puts her bike in motion,and they drive off..When they drive by Tootie and Nat,Blair hears them yelling and opens her eyes and throws her car keys to them. Tootie catches them and the girls run to the car and gets in and start right following Jo.
Blair and Jo finally caught up to the two men in a couple minutes.
"Blair,We are almost caught up to Bailey and the men!" Jo says very loud.
"Okay!" Blair yells with her eyes pressed shut and her arms around Jo's waist tightly as if she was holding on for deal life.
As they Jo pulls right beside the car the man swirves and almost hits the girls. Jo swirves and the car misses them.Blair finally opens her eyes and looks at the car and the man driving.
"Oh No,Jo! I have seen that man before! He works with my father!" Blair says with worry in her voice.
Right then the man speeds up and loses control of the car and runs off the side of the road and flips over.
"BAILEY!" Blair yells in fear.
The girls catch up to where the accident is and start slowing down when they are about to reach the car. When one of the men get out and start running down the road.
"Blair you go get Bailey and I will get this jerk." Jo says coming to a stop and letting Blair off. Then speeding off again.
Blair walks to the car slowing afraid of what she will find when she hears her sister cry. Blair gets on her hand and knees to look in side of the car. When she sees the other man laying there unconsious and Bailey laying in a corner of the car screaming.
"It's okay Bailey I will get you out of here honey." Blair says in a soothing voice to the baby.
Blair crawls into the car and grabs her sister gently. She sits in the upside down car holding and rocking her sister back and forth.
Tootie and Natalie then pull up and Blair crawls out from inside the car and run to them cradling her sister in her arms with tears coming down her cheeks.
"I was so scared for Bailey! Once in my life I wasn't worried about what would happen to me." Blair says looking at the girls.
Blair then looks down at Bailey and says "I love you Honey!" as Blair starts crying.
Tootie and Natalie then come closer to Blair and put their arms around her.
They then all let go because they here the roaring of a motor cycle and sure enough her comes Jo.
"Is she alright,Blair?" Jo says worried.Before she even got off her bike.
"Yeah,Thanks to you Jo. If it wasn't for you she could have still been with those strange men,and who knows what else." Blair says walking to Jo.
"No sweat! I am just glad Bailey is safe." Jo replies.
"Speaking of those men where is the one that took off?? Blair asks.
"Oh,I caught him then a police officer showed up and took him away!"Jo replies to Blair "He called for back-up so the police should be here soon!"
"Okay,Thanks Jo I owe you!" Blair walks over to Jo and gives her a hug and Jo hugs her back and says,"No we are friends you don't "owe" Friends!"
Tootie and Natalie smiles and walks over to the girls and put their arms around them.
The End.
