Once they got to the bill board, Shannon noticed a lot of people surrounding the place. "whoa. I got two words for you, Nina." Shannon said.
"free."
"publicity."
"yeah, well I got four words for you, Shannon." Fiona said. "GET OUR DAUGHTERS DOWN NOW!"
"that's five words." Shannon pointed out. "I SAID NOW!!!!!!!!" Fiona screamed. Shannon was easily controlled by Fiona like Nina was to her. "ok. Ok." Shannon said. She then rushed to climb the billboard. "Mrs. Livingston, i should probably tell you something." Nina said. "what's that, Baxter?" Fiona said as she turned to her. "Finoa. Shannon's afraid of heights." Nina said. "but i'm sure she'll be just fine as long as she doesn't look down."
"Shannon Woodward! do not look down! you hear me?!" Fiona screamed. Shannon looked down anyway because she didn't hear her. she ended up getting woozy. & almost fell off. but her daughters & Nat grabbed her. "mom. what are you doing up here?" Jonnie said. "oh, i came to save you girls. Joanna." Shannon said. the girls pulled her up. "look, Mrs. Woodward. whatever you're gonna say, it's not gonna make any difference." Nat said. "Natalie. even though your mother was the one who sent me up here, i am still against this whole 'billboard' idea." Shannon said. "well, at least i'm not the one who got chased by two dogs earlier." nat said as she crossed her arms & turned her back halfway to Shannon. "Natalie Livingston. even though i'm not your mother, i'd ground you this instant if you don't stop this attitude & come down." Shannon yelled. "if you were my mom, i'd let you ground me anyway, Mrs. Woodward. because i am not stopping until "Pam's life' is put back on the air." Nat said.
Shannon got ticked big time. "Natalie Livingston. as the mother of your friends, Jennifer & Joanna Woodward, i demand you let this thing go & come back down this instant." Shannon yelled. "no. i won't give up." Nat said. "me neither." Jenny & Jonnie both chimed in. Shannon soon realized that she was no match for Nat & her own two daughters. "ok. you win." Shannon groaned. "i won't force you girls down. now here. put on this stuff in case you girls get cold."
"but it's not cold." Jenny said. "lookie here, you all put 'em on." Shannon said. the stuff was really to promote SHannon's dinner. "thanks for agreeing with us, Mom." Jonnie said. "you're welcome, sweetheart." Shannon said. they all shared a hug that lasted until they heard thunder clap. Shannon then handed each of them an umbrella. "here you go." she then went down. but the storm apparently had ligtning & it hit Shannon. "someone's coming down." Nina said. "who is it? Shannon, Jennifer, Joanna, or Natalie?" Fiona asked. Shannon then crashed down. "Shannon." Nina said. Shannon then got up. "so are our babies coming down or what?" Fiona said to Shannon. Shannon was very woozy from the lightning & all she had to say was, "what?" before she passed out. Fiona was upset.
about a few days passed, & the girls were still on the billboard. Fiona once again ordered Shannon to climb up & convince them to come down. "two days. get them down." she said to Shannon. whom went up there once again to do the same. "Mom. why are you up here again?' jenny said. "uh, still think it's time to come down, Jennifer." Shannon said. the girls once again pulled her up. "look, Mom. even if Mrs. Livingston told you to come back up, we are still not coming down until 'Pam's life' is back on the air." Jenny said. "girls. i worry about your safety too." Shannon said. "then how come you let us stay up here last time?" Nat said. "i only did that because there was something that made me let you girls stay up here." Shannon said. "but all i know is that there's nothing that can-------" Shannon then got cut off by Nat's puppy-dog face. "oh, ok. i'll let you girls stay up here a little bit longer." she groaned. she then got down. but slipped on some greese & fell off.
"caved in again?" Fiona asked. "uh-huh." Shannon groaned with pain.
a few more days passed & yet, Nat, Jenny, & Jonnie remained up on the billboard. "Shannon. go up there & get our babies down!" Fiona yelled. "& try not to cave in this time." Shannon once again climbed up. "Mom? why are you up here again?"Jenny asked. Shannon was trying to get them to come down again, but Nat defeated her with her puppy pout. "never mind." she sighed as she climbed back down. she fell once again. & as you guessed it, Fiona was not pleased with her caving in.
finally, it had been exactly two weeks since Jenny, Jonnie, & Nat climbed onto the billboard a news reporter was up there also talking to them. "Natalie Livingston." she said. "you, Jennifer, & Joanna Woodward have been up here for exactly two weeks now. tell me what is it about 'Pam's life' that made you girls want to do this."
"well." Nat said. " 'Pam's life' has always been my favortie show since me & my BFFS were in Jr. high. i mean, Pam was sweet, & kind, & she had a heart of gold. she somebody we could learn from. or anybody to be exact."
meanwhile, Shannon was using the oppertunity by selling people t-shirts that said, 'eat at Shannon's' & as usual, Fiona was upset with the fact that her own daughter was up on a billboard. "Shannon Woodward!" she thundered. "this has gone on long enough. i want you to go back up there & get our daughters down for real this time!"
"come on, Fi-Fi." Shannon sighed. "you can't buy publicity like this ALL the time." Fiona stared at her angrily. "can i at least launch my rocket? we're celebrating how well business has been the last month." Fiona then growled at Shannon like a very hungry tiger. "ok. ok." Shannon said. she then placed a sign that said, 'BRB' on the front counter & ran to once again climb up the billboard to get her daughters & Nat down.
she got up the billboard while the reporter was still there. "again, Mrs. Woodward?" Nat Scoffed. Shannon was so exhausted from climbing up there for the 4th time in two weeks, total, that she couldn't even get a word out other than 'I' the girls then got her up where she caught her breath & saw the news reporter. "oh, hello there." she said to the news lady. "hi. & who are you exactly?" the lady replied. "I'm Shannon Woodward. mother of Jennifer & Joanna Woodward. & i own a dinner at the edge of town called 'Shannon's' please feel free to stop there for a bite to eat anytime soon." Shannon said. "ok. i'll be sure i will." the news lady said as if she saw a man dressed as a clown for no apparent resaon. just then, she recived a fax from her ear piece. "oh, this is just in." she said. "due to the demands of Jennifer Woodward, Joanna Woodward, & Natalie Livingston, ABC Channel has renewed 'Pam's life' " Nat, Jenny, & Jonnie were all so thrilled. "& girls. you, your families, & two of your closest friends, will get a paid trip to Hollywood. where you will all meet 'Hannah rivers' & have a guest roll on the season premere of 'Pam's life' "
"we did it Mom! we did it!" Jonnie cried. "yes we did, Joanna." Shannon chuckled.
"& to celebrate, i am going to launch my rocket."
"uh, Mrs. Woodward. i kind of wouldn't do that if i were you." Nat said. "i bet that's only because you're not the one who owns a successful dinner, Natalie." Shannon said. "no. Mom. she means it's because the rocket's tied to your back." Jenny said. "oh, Nonsense." Shannon scoffed. she then went ahead & lit her rocket with it still on her back. everyone backed away as she did so. & it blew off with Shannon.
"good move, Shannon." Nina called out to her, using sarcasm, of course. "yeah, Nice one." Fiona chimed in, also using Sarcasm.
