Authors Note: This was just supposed to be my notes but I thought it'd be fun to just do a mini reunion with the original four girls. It took a bit of time to get everyone together but here it is. This story is officially complete and I'll be posting some prompts for the BSC100 prompts. Those will be updated more sporadically as I finish other stuff.

Enjoy!


The annual Fall Frolic Festival in Stoneybrook Connecticut was in full swing. Kristy looked around pleased with herself at how it all came together. Of course she sat the committee putting it all together. She said hello to a couple of the students from her school. Then rounded the corner the promise of cotton candy.

"Kristy!" shouted out a voice to see Claudia Kishi heading in her direction. Her mother and daughter with her.

"Claudia!" she said seeing her friend and rushing to hug her. She looked good dressed in jeans with holes artfully torn. An open oversized navy flannel shirt showed off a cranberry colored long sleeve shirt. "How do you like the festival? Fun huh?"

"I'm guessing you had to something to do it with it," said Claudia with a teasing tone in her voice. Kristy shrugged because of course, why wouldn't she? "It does look great around here. The cotton candy is good."

"Hey, I'm just glad to see you! I thought you'd be in New York," said Kristy remembering that she lived in Brooklyn.

"I'm helping plan Janine and Dale's wedding," she said as Kristy high fived her. "And the wedding is going to be in Stoneybrook in a couple of days."

"Do you have anything you want to say?" asked Reina pulling out her phone and setting it to record.

Oh, a budding filmmaker in the making. Or maybe she was just helping with the video. Either way it sounded like she as having fun. She shrugged and Kristy tapped her finger against her chin to think about it. Then snapped her fingers once she finally had a piece of advice.

"Janine, I have known you for a long time," said Kristy. "You were my neighbor and even when you were gone, it felt like you were there. Congratulations! I hope you and Dale make lots of memories together. If you ever need a baby-sitter call me."

"Kristy!" hissed Claudia leaving Reina and Rioko to just laugh at the suggestion. Mrs. Kishi knew all too well and Reina just because she could be sitting any kids in another couple of years.

"Mimi and I are going to walk over to the carousal," said Reina.

"Alright, have fun sweetie. I think Stacey is here if you want to search for her."

Together Claudia and Kristy went and started to look around the carnival. They saw some familiar faces and some unfamiliar ones. Around them downtown Stoneybrook, in Palmer Square, was decorated up. Claudia keeping her caught up on her life and vice versa. It was fun that the two of them were able to catch up.

Around them the crowd swelled as they passed by the rides. Hanging paper lanterns lite up around them as it got darker out. The smell of hotdogs and pretzels and the sound of screams from kids on the rides.

Not only that but they did find Stacey looking chic as ever in lightweight knitted beanie, loose-fit drop turtleneck sweater, leggings, and suede boots. Stacey looked happy to wrestle away from her kids for about an hour or so. The three cruising around the festival.

"Guys!" called Mary Anne waving from the soft pretzel booth. She looked pretty dressed up in a forest green cable knit dress with a checked scarf and knee-high boots.

"Mary Anne!" said Kristy rushing to her and hugging how. "How are you holding up? How's your dad?"

She remembered getting the call saying that her father had a heart attack. Richard Spier spent two nights at Stoneybrook General Hospital before going home. Kristy felt awful and sent them a fruit basket.

"Wait what happened?" asked Claudia after swallowing a bit of a caramel apple.

"He had a heart attack a couple of nights ago. I came to help care for him with Sharon as soon as I heard," said Mary Anne referring to her stepmother. "They convinced me to come here and so they could have some alone time. I left the girls home and leaving next Sunday. I can't believe that all of us are here together! It's been a long time."

"It has," said Kristy agreeing. "We should hang out for a bit before finding our families. Hey Mary Anne, would Richard want to come over for dinner one day this week?"

"I think he'd like that," said Mary Anne smiling and paying for hot chocolate. "So, what should we do?"

"There's still some spots open at the pumpkin carving contest," said Claudia.

"There's the tilt a whirl," said Kristy gesturing in the direction of the rides.

"Hayride," said Stacey seeing the truck pull up.

"Let's just do it all," said Kristy pulling them to the hayride first. They had time to catch up first before throwing themselves into activities.
