Kristy's Babysitting Blues

Kristy walked off to her next class, leaving Alan in a slump.

Over at the Kishi residence, the Baby Sitters Club meeting was about to begin.

"This meeting of the Baby Sitters Club is now in session." Kristy said.

Claudia dug around in her secret stash of snacks for something for Dawn and Stacey to snack on while the rest of the club had sweets during the meeting.

"So, Kristy," Dawn inquired. "how'd things go with Alan in rehearsal today?"

Kristy shot Dawn a firm look, "Don't start with me!" she grumbled.

"Whoa! If looks could kill!" Dawn exclaimed.

Suddenly, the telephone rang.

Mallory answered it, "Hi, Mom, you need a sitter for Adam, Byron, and Jordan on Saturday? Let me get back to you." she said.

Mallory hung up the telephone.

"What is it, Mal?" Claudia asked.

"My mom needs a sitter for the triplets, I'm sitting for the Newtons that day so that leaves me out." Mallory answered Claudia.

Kristy checked the club notebook, "You're free, Jessi, and you too, Mary Anne." she said.

"I would be happy to babysit the triplets." Mary Anne said to Mallory.

Mallory picked up the receiver, "Hi, Mom, Mary Anne can babysit Jordan, Adam, and Byron." she said.

Mallory hung up the telephone.

Kristy still didn't want to talk about rehearsal as the telephone rang again.

Kristy picked up the receiver, "What do you want, Alan?" she asked.

"My mom and dad are going out tonight and entrusted me to watch my little cousin, I think it would also give you and me a chance at rehearsing in private, will you join me?" Alan asked Kristy.

Kristy just sighed.

"Okay, Alan," Kristy said. "you win."
