"Massie what am I going to do?" Claire whined. "It's alright we will fix this somehow", Massie said. Claire looked at Massie in doubt. "How?" the girls wanted to know. "Um… I don't know yet", she answered. "Oh that's reassuring", Claire sobbed. "We will", Massie answered. Her no-nonsense tone convinced the girls and they hushed up immediately.
Just then Kristen showed up. "About time", Massie said giggling. "Sorry", she answered then she chucked a pillow at her. The girls got in a huge pillow fight and Dylan won when she spun around and knocked everyone down. The girls feel down in hysterics. When they finally stopped laughing they looked up and noticed that Claire hadn't joined in the fun. Then they remembered what happened. Kristen on the other hand was confused. Alicia filled her in and the girls got down to business finding a way to get Cam to stay.
Alicia's idea was to get her dad to sue Cam's parents until they agreed to stay. Dylan's idea was to fundraise money to make up for skipping out on Cam's dad's new job. Kristen decided that they should us Dylan's fundraising idea and make money to build Cam a guest house on the Block estate. Massie agreed with Kristen and Claire was too stressed to think.
The girls decided to take a vote. Alicia: her idea. Dylan: Kristen's idea. Kristen and Massie: Kristen's idea. Claire just went with the vote. The girls all cheered. Kristen's idea was ah-mazing! Even Alicia agreed. Then the girls went to bed.
When she woke up the next morning Massie squealed at the girls to wake up! Today they had their first fundraising committee meeting! Massie called to Inez to bring up the notebooks, papers, and supplies she had ordered last night. Once the girls were all dressed in matching Juicy sweats, Massie's purple, Alicia's red, Claire's blue, Kristen's orange, and Dylan's white, the girls got down to business.
Among the papers was the itinerary. First on the list the girls had to brainstorm fundraising ideas. Dylan popped in her favorite mix and the girls began brainstorming. At the end of the hour the girls had come up with having a carwash, walking dogs, tutoring (Kristen of course), and doing other random chores. Massie also decided she would give up some of her personal time to be a shopping helper to all the LBRs with no fashion sense. The girls planned on recruiting some of Cam's other friends to help too!
Then they moved on to the next thing on the list, calling people to help and making posters and ads. Massie and Alicia decided to make the calls since no one could turn them down and Claire, Kristen, and Dylan made posters, flyers, and designed ads to put in newspapers and magazines. Three hours later Massie and Alicia had managed to recruit Derek, Josh, Dune, Kemp, Plovert, and the rest of the soccer team, along with some girls from OCD. Claire, Kristen, and Dylan had managed to create ten different versions of flyers and posters, and five different ads which they would make copies of later. They decided to take a much deserved spa break at Massie's home gym/spa.
They all got a strawberry smoothie and started relaxing in the hot tub. They chatted a while then went back upstairs to the iPad. Massie declared it was time to tell Cam. Claire squealed in excitement while Massie dialed his cell number. As she put it on speaker he answered, "Hello?" "Hey Cam its Massie, Alicia, Kristen, Dylan, and Claire!" Massie said. "Oh, hey girls" he replied. "Hey", they chorused. "So what did you want?" He sounded as if he had been crying. "Um, well we were wondering if your parents would consider letting you stay the rest of your senior year if we fundraised money to build you a guest house on my estate." Massie said hopefully. "Massie, that's a great idea! Let me go ask", he ran off hurriedly. Claire giggled in anticipation. He picked the phone back up and practically screamed, "OH MY GAWD, THEY SAID IF WE RAISED ENOUGH MONEY I COULD, if it's alright with your parents that is", he said sheepishly. "Of course it's alright with my parents I already asked them", Massie stated matter-of-factly. "Kay, well we got to go bye Cam", Alicia said and then hung up.
The girls sighed as they plopped down on the floor. "Thank gawd he can stay", Claire said.
