Mary Anne walked through school in a daze. She saw Logan a few times but ignored him- he did not see her so at least she was successful at that. She didn't pay attention in class and picked at her lunch. This was the worst day of her life; the only good thing was that her friends supported her.

Mary Anne arrived home and logged onto her account in her chat room for comfort. The only reason she agreed to have a chat room was because Stacey forced her to. She browsed for a single, teenage guy who lived in Stonybrook. She submitted her request and up came a list of available bachelors. They each had profiles so she browsed them. One caught her eye- Logan Bruno. Logan was not single? But he had been out with Cokie and me? She was baffled for a moment when suddenly a plan for revenge formed in her mind. She swiftly called Dawn and shared her idea with her. When she put the phone back in the cradle she was the happiest she had felt for days.

On Wednesday it stormed and Dawn and Mary Anne rushed through the pelting rain to Claudia's house for a Baby sitters club meeting. Mimi welcomed them heartily as they arrived and went upstairs to Claudia's room, just as the clock changed from 5:29 to 5:30.
They seated themselves on Claudia's bed comfortably waiting for what was next.
"KRISTY!" shouted Mallory and Jessi in unison at 5:31.
Kristy announced loudly sounding dazed "Oh Yeah! Sorry I was just thinking about the Krushers game this Sunday anyway…This meeting of the Baby Sitters Club will now come to order."
"Kristy!" Mary Anne thought but laughed out loud with the rest of the Babysitters Club.
Kristy continued, "Any urgent club issues?"
All of us shook our heads so Kristy continued "Any other issues?"
This was Mary Anne's cue to say her problem and her idea. As she raised her hand and Kristy called on her the phone rang with Mrs. Rodowsky calling about the coming Sunday from 11:30am to 3:45pm.
Unfortunately none of the club members were free as Mallory and Mary Anne were at the Pikes, Stacey was at the Hills, Jessi was at the Braddock's, Kristy had a Krushers practice and game, Dawn had a sitting job at the Kuhn's and Claudia had to go to an art exhibition with Ashley. So far even one of their associate members Shannon was at the Papadakis's, which only left Logan Bruno.
Stacey was just about to pick up the phone and dial the number 'K-L-5-1-0-1-8' when Mary Anne shouted out "Wait!" The Baby Sitters Club froze.
"Well," Mary Anne began shyly "Let me speak first before you call Logan …… You know that date I had with Logan? He called and said he was unable to come. Dawn and I decided to go together instead…" Mary Anne went on to tell the club the events that happened throughout the horrible night and onwards. They went over 6:00 but as Mary Anne hadn't finished, none of the Baby Sitters Club budged from their positions. They had forgotten to call Mrs. Rodowsky back but they did not care. They were staring intently at Mary Anne who was still telling her story and plan. When at last Mary Anne finished, they broke out into calls of admiration and comfort.
