Kristy felt the entire club spinning out of control, Stacey lied, Mary Anne spotted her spying, Claudia will stop being her friend again, and Louie ran away. She has to do something. She runs home and when she gets there, Louie is at the doorstep. Kristy felt relief, but she couldn't relax yet, she has something important to say to her club members.
At the next meeting, the other girls look at Kristy uneasily. Stacey felt a pit grow in her chest, Kristy glared at her and took a deep breath and began to speak.
"After some recent events, I've decided to place some new rules into place," Kristy stated.
Claudia rolls her eyes, Mary Anne gulps, and Stacey looks at Kristy uneasily.
"One, we are no longer taking babysitting jobs from Watson, I don't care if we have to place fliers for it, we aren't babysitting his kids," Kristy stated.
Mary Anne looks at Kristy in disbelief. She really liked Karen and Andrew, and she couldn't believe Kristy is doing this. Claudia looks at Kristy emotionless, knowing of what is happening like before.
"Two, Stacey lied, she wasn't in New York, She was in her car with her parents, I saw her yesterday, so Stacey," Kristy turned to Stacey, "where were you?"
Stacey became silent, she couldn't get her words out. Kristy pressed on.
"Where were you?"
Stacey gulped and sighs, "The doctors…"
"For what?"
"Jesus Kristy, she said she was at the doctor's so she was at the doctor's," Claudia defended.
Kristy backed down, she sighs and sits in her chair.
"Well that's pretty much what I have to say, anyone else objects?" Kristy says.
The rest of the club members stay quiet, they don't know what to say. Claudia's room is filled with silence, but was suddenly filled with sound after the phone rings. Mary Anne picks it up.
"H-hello... Babysitters club," Mary Anne says, she listens to the woman on the phone and sighs. "Mrs. Keene needs a Babysitter this Wednesday, anyone free?"
"Art class," Claudia instantly says.
"Doctor appointment again," Stacey says. Kristy glared at her again.
"I'll take the job," Mary Anne writes in the notebook.
As everyone began doing their own thing, Kristy began to smirk, she showed her control over the club, she was complete, but unknown to her, this change of events will change the lives of the Babysitters club forever.
