Note: I am back for another BSC fic. This latest idea came from a recent e - mail with CNJ, and I thought I would give it a shot by trying to write it up. This was something I never thought of. Enjoy this latest.

Claudia and Kristy were eating lunch later that week. Kristy wanted to talk with her about something, and Claudia didn't have any idea what Kristy had in mind this time. Whatever it is, she better like this latest that Kristy had stuck in her head. Both she and Kristy have been good friends since they were children. They both talk whenever they find the time.

Both of them are in their early twenties. Claudia was the first to show up. They both agreed to meet at the Olive Garden for lunch at noon. Claudia was able to find a parking spot. The dashboard on her car told her it was now 11:45. Kristy usually likes to be on time, and almost always has. Claudia waited inside for her friend instead of waiting out in the parking lot.

Kristy showed up right on time. It was now 12:00. Kristy walked in and found Claudia waiting for her.

"Hi, Kristy."

"Hello yourself. How was your morning?"

"It went well, thank you. We are waiting for our turn. We will be waiting for fifteen to twenty minutes. While we're waiting, why don't you tell me what idea you want to share to share with me?"

"That's what I was thinking also, Claud. Remember I founded the Baby – sitters Club?"

"I wouldn't forget that. I haven't thought about that lately."

"This new idea that I just came up with is something you'd be interested in."

"Just spit it out already, Kristy. I have an hour worth of lunch. What's your lunch hour?"

"Thirty minutes, so we have plenty of time."

The waiting area was starting to get full. It was a good thing Claudia got here early. There were several other people talking also.

"This idea I just came up with is that we could go into business together again."

"I like that idea. We haven't worked with each other since we started the Baby – sitters Club."

"I know, Claud. I just miss working with you."

"What type of business do you have in mind?" Claudia asked.

"I know you're not a big fan of sports, but I do have something in mind."

"Tell me."

"I thought we could start a bowling alley. We could put an ad in the newspaper."

"Why would I want to be in this one?"

"You like art, right?"

"Yes."

Claudia still wasn't understanding where Kristy's idea was coming from, and she let Kristy continue with her newest idea.

When they first started the Baby – sitters Club, Kristy sounded like business was her thing, and the club was a huge success. Kristy just finished college by earning a major in business. No wonder Kristy came up with this idea, Claudia thought to herself. Kristy continued.

"How would you feel to be in charge of creating the outfits for the team members?"

Now Claudia was starting to get this latest idea, and as usual, Claudia found this one was another good idea of Kristy's.

"I do have some questions."

"What?"

"Do you plan to get the other girls into joining or is it just us?"

"It's just us for now. Maybe we can try to ask Stacey later if she would like to be in charge of the money. She had since she took care of that years ago."

"Good idea. I haven't talked with her for a while. I'll mention it when we get the chance."

"Thanks. Friends do this."

"I agree with you. Have you started building this bowling alley yet?"

"Yes, I have. While it just started, I thought I would ask you to be part of it."

"It's been one of the best ideas in a long time, Kristy. Of course I'll go into business with you."

"I know you would agree with me."

Both girls were finished waiting to be seated.

When they finished giving out their orders, they talked about other things.

"I spoke with Mallory just last night," Kristy said.

"How is she doing?"

"She's good. She is now accepted into a publishing company and is looking forward to start writing her first young adult novel."

"Good for her. She's always wanted this dream. It's a good thing it came true."

"I know. She said she will tell us the latest."

"Why wouldn't she?"

None of the girls said anything after that.
