It was 3'o'clock Monday afternoon, and Sarah was eagerly awaiting the arrival of Lorraine. She stood on the corner sidewalk of the school. Suddenly the girls she had told Lorraine about showed up.

"So," Serena, the blonde, tall one said, "Are you waiting for your brothers- and brothers- to pick you up?"

"I have sisters!" Sarah shouted in defense.

"Oh, you mean the twins, nerd and dork?" Serena laughed. The others laughed too.

"No, I have two older sisters, Nora and Lorraine, and they're prettier than you!" Sarah exclaimed.

"Oh, so where are your imaginary friends?" Serena asked.

"No where, I don't have any!" Sarah screamed.

"Oh, and I guess you don't even have an imaginary date to the dance on Friday!" Serena shouted.

"I can get a date if I wanted to…"

"Yeah right, how are we supposed to believe you?"

"I'll prove it!"

"Whatever."

"I can defend myself on guys, but when it comes to family, I'm going to need some family," Sarah said.

"All your brothers are losers!" One of the girls cried.

"Yeah, but you haven't met my sisters yet!"

"What sisters?" Serena laughed.

Nora pulled up in the van and honked. "That's Nora," Sarah smiled.

"Hi Nora," Serena and her crew smiled sweetly at Nora.

"They're so adorable!" Nora said to Sarah as they drove away.

"Who, them?" Henry asked. "They're babies." Nora gave him a "whatever" look and they drove home.

Sarah ran up to her room and cried. I know it's not like her, but her sister let her down. A few hours later Nora came into her room.

"What's wrong kiddo?" Nora asked.

"Nothing," Sarah lied. "Leave me alone."

"Fine," Nora sighed and walked out of the room.

Lorraine came into the room not long after Nora. She looked at Sarah's face and sighed, "I let you down, didn't I?"

Sarah just nodded. "I'm sorry," Lorraine pleaded, "I forgot."

"You forgot?" Sarah threw a pillow at her. "You forgot that this was the only time your sister needed your talents in years?"

Lorraine went out of the room and sat with her back against the wall. "I didn't mean to hurt you Sarah," she said to the wall across the walkway.

"What'd you do?" Jake asked.

"Nothing, leave me alone," Lorraine answered. Jake skated up the hallway and turned into his room.

"MOM!" The Baker children screamed as Kate entered through the front door. "Oh and dad," a few added.

"Thanks, it's nice to see you too," Tom said sarcastically.

"Nora, how'd it go?" Kate asked.

Nora replied, "Okay, nothing bad."

"Where's Sarah?" Tom asked.

"In her room, sulking," Jake blurted.

"Why?" Kate and Tom both asked together.

"I dunno," Jake replied.

Henry blurted, "Girls."

"Excuse me?" Kate, Nora, Jessica, Kimmy and Tom asked together. Henry gave a puzzled look at Tom.

"I mean," Tom covered, "yeah." "Yeah" always seems to work in a situation like that.

Kate rolled her eyes and looked around, "Where's Lorraine?"

"Dunno," Charlie answered.

"Lorraine is also soaking her tears into her soil-covered cotton pillow cover which contains 100 feathered products beneath the material," Jessica replied.

"How do you even know that?" Henry asked.

"We looked on the tag, duh!" Kimmy answered.

Kate dropped her bags and ran upstairs. She got both girls out of their rooms and brought them together in her own room. They talked and worked things out; Lorraine would help the next day if Sarah would forgive her. So they did it, and when they came out, all the bags were put away.

"Why didn't you come the first time?" Sarah asked Lorraine.

"Well, I met this guy…"

"Can you help me get a guy?" Sarah asked.

"Why?" Lorraine was puzzled.

"How about, instead of showing off Serena and crew, you show them that you can make me suitable for star quarterback Daniel Fields?" Sarah asked.

"Why?" Lorraine repeated.

"Because I bet them I could get a date to the dance on Friday," Sarah sighed.

"Aw, Sarah is actually going to get a date!" Lorraine shouted. "But it's already Tuesday!"

"I know," Sarah said.

"KIDS!" Kate shouted. "I have news!"

They all rushed downstairs to their mother and looked at each other puzzled.

"Your father and I, well, we're going to have another baby!" Kate exclaimed.

Lorraine fainted. Hours later, she woke up. She saw her mother's face first and remembered the last words said before it went black. She put her head back down on the floor and went to sleep. She woke up again a few minutes later.

"Did I hear you right?" she asked, confused. "Are you, you're having another baby?"

"Yes," Tom smiled. "I mean, we don't really know. The doctor said it was 75 percent likely."

"So it could not happen?" Nora asked.

Kate nodded, "The only thing was your dad couldn't have another baby."

All the Baker kids that could understand slapped their hands over their mouths and gasped.

"No," Kate corrected, "Your father is the only one I, well, most of you know."

They all nodded. "Maybe something went wrong in his procedure?" Sarah wondered.

"Whatever the reason, it is probable that there will be a new addition to our family. So we're going to have to clear some room. Let's see how we can do this, Sarah can move into Lorraine and Nora's room and then the baby can move into Sarah's room," Kate suggested.

Lorraine and Sarah grinned; this would bring them much closer, if not over-close.

"I am so up for that," Lorraine smiled.

"I agree," Sarah agreed.

They began work on the moving situation and all went well. The next day, Sarah met at school with some friends when she saw Daniel.

"Oh my Gosh," Sarah said. "I have to ask him out."

"Why?" her friend Natasha asked.

"Well," Sarah started, "Serena made me. Now let's do what I have to do. Lorraine told me to fix my hair—check. She said to check for stains—check. Um, now I have to add some lip-gloss." She brought the small tube of shiny pink makeup to her lips and smoothed it over them. She pulled out the mirror Lorraine lent her and checked it. It looked good. "I'm ready to go."

She walked over to Daniel, who was surrounded by a mixture of skinny-as-a-twig girls and football jock guys. Sarah walked up to him and handed him a note. On the note it read:

Meet me at locker 213 after-school at 3'o'clock sharp. Oh, and don't bring anyone.

Sarah Baker.

There was a puzzled look on his face, and Sarah just walked away. She watched him from across the room: he slipped the note into his pocket and went on with his conversation with his friends.

After-school, Sarah stood by the indicated locker. It was still 2:59. She looked around; no one seemed to care why she was just standing there. Daniel walked up to her.

"Is it important?" he asked.

"Very," Sarah answered. "Well, I was thinking, this isn't usually like me, but…"

"Is that lip-gloss?" he asked.

Sarah quickly smeared her sleeve over her mouth, "where? The point is: I was wondering if you wanted to go to the dance on Friday with me."

"I already have a date, Clarissa," Daniel sighed.

"What if she gets another date?" Sarah grinned.

"As long as no one's feelings get hurt, I'm fine with going with you, if Clarissa finds another date," Daniel agreed.

The thinking gears were already working in Sarah's brain; she was devising a plan on the spot. She walked away, blowing him a kiss and batting her eyelashes. What can I say? She was desperate to show off Serena and her crew.

As soon as she got home, she started working things out, with a little help from Lorraine. She figured out that Clarissa's mom would make Clarissa go to the dance with Robby, since he was so adorable, in her opinion. Robby, of course, was in love with Clarissa, but had a date he couldn't shake. So Sarah arranged for his date, Tammy, to go to the dance with a chess player, who wasn't planning on going, but was up for it as soon as he heard he was going with Tammy. So all was worked out and she called Daniel.

"Hey, Daniel?" Sarah asked.

"Yeah?"

"You're my date on Friday!"

"Yay. Can I go to sleep now?"

"Yeah, bye."

He hung up. Lorraine and Sarah would go shopping for a dress the next day.

Nora dropped them off at the mall after-school on a Thursday, to look for an outfit that Sarah could wear to the dance. Since Henry also had to go to the dance, Lorraine allowed him to go shopping. They had gone through a bunch of stores already, Lorraine finding the cutest outfits for Sarah but Sarah was refusing every one. Henry had bought his tuxedo.

"Sarah, if you want me to help, you have to agree," Lorraine complained.

"I am helping," Sarah lied, "It's just nothing is helping me."

"Shut up and get a dress already!" Henry shouted.

"Fine," Sarah sighed, "I'll get an outfit in this shop, I promise."

They looked through a bunch of clothing, when finally, Sarah said, "Look at this one!"

Lorraine looked it over and replied, "It's cute, but…"

"BUT?" Sarah and Henry both shouted.

"But it's not for you."

Henry slapped his hand against his forehead and sat down on a bench, mumbling to himself. Meanwhile, Sarah tried on the dress in the fitting rooms. She came out wearing a red dress, with the sleeves on her arms, long satin-looking ripples down to the floor, and a tight stomach.

"Wow, forget what I said!" Lorraine exclaimed. "You may look like a girly-girl, but you definitely look good!"

"Well, after this dance is over, this whole girly thing is gone!" Sarah shouted. "Do you like it or not?"

"I like it, that's what I said!" Lorraine answered. "Come on, we'll buy it."

"But it costs a lot!" Sarah whined.

"It's okay, I can afford it."

"But that's the money you were saving to buy that mini-skirt!"

"It's okay," Lorraine sighed, "you need it more."

"Thanks sis," Sarah hugged her.

"You better keep that dress to give to your child," Lorraine laughed, after Sarah had already changed out of the dress and they were paying for it. Sarah laughed too, while she inspected the shoes she selected.

"Are you guys done yet?" Henry insisted.

"Yes," Sarah answered, "Why did you want to come with us anyways?"

"Hello?" Henry pointed to the bag that contained his tuxedo.

A/N: I feel like I've been doing a lot of Lorraine and Sarah, so let me do some of the other kids.

Meanwhile at home, Jessica had been gluing some beads onto a piece of paper. Jake came in, riding his skate board, and slipped on some spilt water. There was a big WHAM! Jake lay moaning on the floor.

"Jake, are you okay?" Jessica shrieked.

"My ankle!" was all Jake had exclaimed.

A few hours later, Tom, Kate, Jake, Jessica, Kimmy, Mark, and Mike stood in the doctor's office, with Jake on the paper-covered bed.

"Mom," Jake moaned, "I'm never riding a skateboard in the house again!"

Everybody laughed. The doctor entered the room. "Jake," he said, "Looking at the x-rays, we see that you have fractured your right ankle in a few places."

"Is he going to be okay, doctor?" Kimmy asked.

"Of course," the doctor answered. "No more skateboarding for a while, no more walking for a while either."

"Then how am I supposed to, like, go to school and stuff?" Jake asked.

"By using your crutches that nice Nurse Lucy will give to you," the doctor replied. Lucy entered and gave the crutches to Kate, and left.

"Thanks," Jake said, "I guess."

It was Friday night, the night of the big dance. Sarah had decided to meet Daniel at the dance and was already dressed. Tom drove Sarah and Henry to the dance.

"Bye Dad," Sarah moaned. "Can you go now?"

"Yes, fine," Tom replied.

Sarah and Henry made their entrance into the gymnasium. Some heads turned, but not many. Sarah spotted Daniel from across the room, and she walked over to him.

She was stopped by just Serena who said, "Where's your date, Sarah?"

"Well, I was going to him, and you can come with me, Serena," she answered.

Sarah led the way to Daniel, who took one glance at her. He was not dressed nice at all, he was wearing a football jersey and jacket and a pair of blue jeans. Sarah's hopes were crushed. She made her way through his friends and stood by him, smiling.

"Hi Sarah," Daniel smiled.

"Hi Daniel, where's your nice dress clothes?" Sarah replied.

"Coach said we had to wear the uniform, I hope that's okay with you?" Daniel answered.

"Fine, but do you want to dance?" Sarah asked.

"Um, in a few minutes," he answered. Sarah whispered something into his ear. "I am Sarah's date," he said, repeating what she said. The guys looked at him funny and Serena disappeared from the small crowd.

A few hours later, Sarah looked at the ceiling, reflecting on the night. Of course, the ceiling was girly, but that was the way Sarah felt that night. Her first kiss had been with Daniel Fields. She sighed.

Neither Lorraine nor Nora had been in the room that moment, and she was actually glad. They had gone down to the living room to comfort Jake and give him something to do, because he was stupid enough to ride in the house. She laughed; Jake had been that way since she knew him.

Lorraine and Nora burst into the room laughing, "And he has blonde hair and blue eyes," Nora finished her previous sentence.

"Who does?" Sarah asked.

"My new boyfriend, Shane," Nora replied. "Oh, he is so cute, the way he laughs. Of course, you wouldn't know because all you use guys for is for going to the skate park!"

"I kissed a guy tonight!" Sarah blurted out. She gasped at the personal information she had just released.

Lorraine hopped onto Sarah's bed and asked, "Oh my Gosh, no way!"

"Yes," Sarah blushed.

"Holy crud!" Nora exclaimed. "That's 10 bucks for you, Lorraine."

"You guys bet on me?" Sarah accused.

"Only for fun," Lorraine giggled. "So tell me, what was it like?"

"Okay," Sarah said. "It was kind of weird, because we were dancing, and then it changed to a slow song, and he acted like he had done it a billion times before!"

"Oh, little Sarah," Nora sighed, "finally has come back from the dark treacherous side of the boy world."

"Whoa, I'm not a girly-girl!" Sarah shouted.

"Well, don't crush my dreams!" Nora exclaimed. "Boys are only good if you can teach them to be. They're kind of like dogs, when you first get them, they pee on the carpet. Bang them a few times with a rolled up newspaper, and they're good little puppies like Gunner." Gunner, hearing his name called, ran into the room, and wagged his tail at the foot of Nora. Nora smiled and patted him on the head.

"So you mean all I have to do is hit Daniel with a paper and he'll take me places?" Sarah asked, confused.

"No, you train him," Lorraine answered. "What you have to do is…"
