Note: I've had this story in my head for some time, and I think after a few months of not posting anything new before 'The Missing Models' came along, this was an idea that came to me before letting 'The Missing Models' be published first, but I thought since you've all been patient during my time writing original works that you deserve some new ideas. I know this is a short beginning, but I hope you all like this story. Enjoy!

Sighing, Cokie Mason laid on her bed at home. She didn't bother looking to see what time it was. Today was Friday, so she'd only been home for three hours now. She'd been thinking a lot lately, but she decided to keep this thought to herself until she was ready to share what was on her mind. Even her ex – friend Marci hadn't noticed what Cokie was planning to do. Even her own mother didn't know.

Even the Baby – sitters Club members hadn't been paying attention to Cokie's new self, but when they pay close enough attention, maybe they could think about letting her join. She'd wait to see what Kristy Thomas, the president of the Baby – sitters Club would talk about letting Cokie join, but she doubted that will happen. On Monday, Cokie was going to show her classmates how much she had changed since they were children.

Cokie was thinking she would start off with Logan Bruno, Mary Anne Spier's boyfriend. When Logan first moved to Stoneybrook from Kentucky, both she and Mary Anne had a crush on him. At least Logan would be the perfect choice to start. Ever since Logan had been here from Kentucky, he and Mary Anne started to date, and she's been jealous.

Since Logan was a start, Cokie thought she would hide her jealousy. This time she would let him not think about dating her anytime soon. From what Cokie knew, Logan was the only boy in the Baby – sitters Club. Cokie did feel sorry for him about being the only guy, but he could care less. From now on, she would not get into Mary Anne's relationship with Logan. She was now figuring out her being jealous ever since Logan moved, she did try her best to break up their relationship.

Cokie recently been dreaming almost every night now once she had began her new change. Plus, she had been picturing in her dreams what it would look like it this new Cokie Mason be accepted in the Baby – sitters Club. That was another dream as well. Maybe the BSC might come true, but she'd have to wait and see what would happen once her classmates would think of her decision about being more mature. Even she would give it time for her own mother to notice. No way she would need to keep her fingers crossed.

Cokie didn't bother telling her classmates about her becoming more mature. She'd like to see how they would react to the new Cokie Mason. She also wanted her mother to see how much Cokie matured. 'Let's see how Mom reacts. Maybe this will be my only chance to make it in the Baby – sitters Club.'

The very next morning, Cokie woke up to see a brand new day. She planned to stop complaining to her mother about useless things. Today she surprised her mother to help out with the cooking. Cokie usually complained about almost every little thing, but decided to change it around. Yes Mrs. Mason did see something new in Cokie this morning.

Cokie offered to help Mrs. Mason make oatmeal for breakfast without complaining.

"Cokie, is there anything wrong? You've been quiet," she told Cokie.

"No, Mom, there's nothing wrong with me," Cokie answered.

"You are acting funny right now. You're usually complaining about something at this time."

"I know. I can't think of things to say to start the day off by doing that," Cokie told her mother.

"You'll think of something sooner or later."

"I might, but for now I'm not complaining about anything."

"Good. Let's see what else happens for the rest of the week."

"Wait till Marci and Grace hear about this conversation," Cokie replied.

"Let me know how it goes."

"You will know, Mom."

After that, the conversation without complaining ended.
