Chapter 4-The Plans with a surprise on top.
It was settled. Mr.Feeny, Amy, Topanga's mother, Alan, and with the help of
11 box boys would stick Topanga's and Cory's belongings into boxes and take
them on the plane. A large moving van would help get the boxes into the
plane, and another moving van would be in New York to help get the boxes
out, and bring them down to where Cory and Topanga were. The 15 people
would rent a large van, and drive to where the gang were. While there they
could help unpack, and could visit as well as see the home.
It was 11:00, and Topanga told Cory that she would go to bed so she could get up early tomorrow morning without being too tired for her monthly check- up. "Sounds great dawling". Said Cory as he held her and kissed her. Shawn smiled, and said "Yeah Core we should all get into bed". "They are going to be here tomorrow". "Yes, my Shawn you are right". "Oh..!" Eric whined "But I'm not tired"! "Eric." Said Rachel "I unpacked your Strawberry Shortcake dolls." Said Rachel "You can sleep with um,"-"GINGERSNAP"! Yelled Eric as Rachel withdrew a small, cute, brown doll with black hair that smelt like gingerbread. "But I wanna sleep with orange blossom tonight Rachel"! Whined Eric again Rachel rummaged once more, and withdrew a small doll with an orange outfit that smelt like orange candy. Rachel knew this could be no other doll but orange blossom. Sure enough, "ORANGE BLOSSOM"! Eric shouted this time He ran to Rachel and snatched her. "OH ORANGE BLOSSOM"! "I'm so, so, sorry that I left you in that dark, cold box". "I missed you so much"! Cried Eric "That mean, mean, Jack put you in here". "But at least that nice, nice Rachel found you"! "And you didn't lose your smell"! "Oh this is the happiest day of my life"! Bellowed Eric crying tears of joy. The others exchanged glances.
Eric went to bed before anyone else. As Jack, Rachel, Topanga, and Cory went in to see if it was safe, Eric held the doll against his chest smiling. Eric was also talking in his sleep. "Oh Lana, you smell exactly like Orange Blossom"! "The philly girls never smelt like that"! "I'm gonna stay in New York forever and ever"! "Ok my Shawn.." "Let's leave Eric to dream his fantasies about the New York girls and their scent". Topanga blinked. "Yes that would be a good idea". Said Topanga. "Now I'm going to bed". Said Topanga with a definite tone in her voice that said: I'm going to bed and you better too or else. "Ok Panga". And they all slept on the floor that night with blankets. Though it was surprisingly comfortable. Shawn dreamt of Angela. Eric, well, we know what Eric dreamed about. Cory dreamed of his family, and Jack and Rachel dreamt of how stupid Eric was and how fortunate they were not to be so stupid as him.
They woke-up to a sunny day. First to go to bed, Eric was last to wake-up. Topanga was first. She got dressed and pulled her hair back. There was no need for make-up today. But a little blush couldn't hurt. She applied just a little. Cory woke-up just as she was finishing with the blush. "You look beautiful Panga". "Why thank-you Cory". They smiled at eachother and hugged. Cory, as usual, took about an hour in the bathroom. (Cory was a little girlie in that way) Shawn pounded on the door. "COR-EEEEEEEE"! "GET OUT"! "I'm trying my Shawn but you can't rush one who is in the bathroom"! "YOU WANNA BET"!? "CORY MATTHEWS WHAT IN GODS NAME DO YOU DO IN THERE"? "IS THERE LIKE, ANOTHER WORLD BEHIND THE MIRROR THAT I DON'T KNOW ABOUT"? "Don't speak illy of other worlds my Shawn". "We never know what lurks beneath our mirrors or toilets". Shawn rolled his eyes. "Cory, I'm gonna tell you one more time: GET OUT"! "Now my Shawn, my mother taught me to be polite". "What's the magic word, Shawny"? Shawn moulded his hands into tight red and white fists. "PLEASE". He sqeezed out painfully. Cory opened the door. "You see my Shawn"? "All you gotta do is say the magic word, and magic things happen. Cory winked. Eric remained asleep. Rachel had gone with Topanga to the doctors for Topanga's monthly check-up. (the clinic was just down the road) Jack stretched an yawned as we spoke, muttering darkly about all Shawn's racket. Shawn left the bathroom just as Jack went in. Still muttering. And Eric was still asleep, STILL clutching the doll tightly. Meanwhile at the clinic...
Topanga sat in the waiting room with Rachel, watching the little kids play in the playroom nextdoor. She couldn't hear through the glass window, but she smiled as they played. Topanga clicked her tongue impatiently. Finally: "Topanga Matthews"! Called the nurse. Topanga followed the nurse down the dimly lit hall, and caught glimpses of many patients. She took no notice. Finally she reached Dr.Sierra's office. Brooklyn Sierra. The nurse nodded and left. "Ah yes". "My favorite patient". Topanga sat on the chair. Brooklyn Sierra was young. Not much older than her. 8 yrs maybe.. Topanga sat for her weekly check-up. "Oh"! Said the Dr. "What a surprise"! "Topanga"? "Your pregnant"!
It was 11:00, and Topanga told Cory that she would go to bed so she could get up early tomorrow morning without being too tired for her monthly check- up. "Sounds great dawling". Said Cory as he held her and kissed her. Shawn smiled, and said "Yeah Core we should all get into bed". "They are going to be here tomorrow". "Yes, my Shawn you are right". "Oh..!"
