Nancy To The Rescue
Over at Jackson Elementary School that morning, Scooter & Mimi were running to their classrooms when they had an unfortunate run in with Adam Cassidy, the schoolyard bully.
"Give me all your lunch money!" Adam demanded to Mimi & Scooter.
But before Scooter & Mimi could fork over their lunch money, Nancy Chan, the oldest Chan child at Jackson Elementary School who was in the fourth grade saw everything while she was on her way to her locker with her schoolbooks in hand and ran over to defend her younger siblings.
"Hey Cassidy," Nancy shouted. "don't take that money or else!"
"Or else what Chan?" Adam asked.
"Or else I will tell our teacher that you were taking lunch money from younger grades again like you were doing last week!" Nancy answered.
Adam simply cleared off.
"Wow Nancy," Scooter said. "that was great!"
"You were so brave!" Mimi said to Nancy.
"Yes well," Nancy said to Scooter & Mimi. "it is what Flip would have done if he was here."
At the Chan residence that evening, Henry was helping Scooter tie his necktie after he got dressed in his own best suit while Stanley, Alan, Tom, & Flip were already dressed in their own suits & ties.
Over in the girls' bedroom, Anne took one look in the mirror upon the vanity that she, Suzie, Nancy, & Mimi all shared in their room.
Anne then looked at herself in the full length closet mirror and she soon discovered that she was wearing something she thought she would never consider wearing in her life.
What Anne found herself wearing was a white dress with a pink sash that tied in a big bow in the front right around her waist.
"GET ME OUT OF THIS SUZIE," Anne yelled furiously. "I LOOK TOTALLY RIDICULOUS!"
"Oh Anne," Suzie said gently. "you do not."
"That's right Anne." Mimi said, Mimi wore a royal blue taffeta silk dress with a matching sash that tied in the back in a bow, Nancy wore a turquoise dress with a matching sash that tied in the front like Anne's sash did, and Suzie was wearing a pink dress with a white sash that tied in the back.
"You look perfect in dresses... they suit you." Nancy said to Anne.
"I DO NOT," Anne yelled furiously at all of her three sisters. "ALAN WILL LAUGH AT ME FOR SURE!"
Right on cue, Henry, Stanley, Alan, Tom, Flip, & Scooter all came to the girls' bedroom door.
Henry & Alan didn't laugh at Anne, however Stanley, Tom, Flip, & Scooter all did.
"HEY! KNOCK IT OFF!" Henry scolded all his brothers except for Alan.
"YES! YOU OUGHT TO BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES," Alan scolded Stanley, Flip, Scooter, & Tom in agreement with Henry. "ANNE LOOKS POSSITIVELY LOVELY IN THAT DRESS!"
Anne walked up to Alan & Henry, "Thank you so very kindly." she said kindly to Henry & Alan.
