"And up! Out! Up! Out! You're doing great, keep it up!" Dawn Schafer cried encouragingly to the camera in front of her. She was filming the latest in her instructional exercise videoes, which were highly in demand.
Since leaving Stoneybrook and the Baby-Sitters Club, Dawn had continued to learn as much about health as she could. It had become a passion for her, along with looking after children. In college she studied physical training, and had become a PT at the age of a year, she had been discovered by a local TV producer, who saw dollar signs when he laid eyes on Dawn.
That soon turned into a regular television show, several instructional videos, a chain of health-food stores and many cookbooks. Dawn was now a full-time celebrity. Thankfully she was still very level-headed, and still focused on her mission to help people and the planet. This latest video was to help raise funds for a environmental charity that Dawn was working with as an ambassador.
"And now slow it down, it's time to cool it off." Dawn moderated her voice so it was calmer. "And stretch...and relax...and stretch, you're doing great, and relax. Other leg stretch...and relax."
"That was excellent Dawn." Her producer, Montague, gave her the thumbs up as she was towelling down after it was over. "I can't wait to see how much we can raise for the organization."
"It's been my dream ever since I was a teenager to help the planet." Dawn replied, thinking back to when she was a girl in Stoneybrook. She'd driven everyone at Stoneybrook Middle School insane with her over-the-top antics. She grinned a little at the memory. "Sometimes I've pushed things a little too far, but I know that this can help."
"You're a wonder Dawn." Montague patted her shoulder. "You've got an interview in an hour."
"Thanks Monty." Dawn waved him off before heading to her dressing room. She quickly snapped a selfie for her booming Instagram account before getting into the shower.
She dried herself when she was done, and checked her phone.
"Saw ur selfie. Ur such a ham." Her step-sister, Mary Anne Bruno, had texted her.
"LOL, I try. How are Anna and Maryse?" Dawn replied, wondering how her two nieces were.
The reply was a short video of the two little girls trying to copy their Aunt Dawn while watching one of her videos. Dawn laughed, the two were completely adorable.
Dawn was still single, although there was no end to the number of men and women who lusted after her. Dawn didn't need anyone though, and was quite content to wait until the time (and the person) were right.
Driving to her interview, Dawn was thrilled to look out of the window and see a bunch of kids cleaning up one of the beaches of LA. Her message was getting through, and Dawn felt very satisfied with the way her life had gone.
Hi all, just been re-reading the Baby-Sitters Club books again (I'm turning 30 in November and not liking it, so I'm trying to hold on to my childhood as much as possible). These are just some really short snippets that came to mind while I was reading (I've just come off a massive fanfic trilogy over in Wrestling, so I'm a bit tired out with writing) so I hope they put you in a positive frame of mind! Feel free to use any ideas here!
