Abby's Lucky Thirteen pt. 2
The Wonderful World of Abby continues:
Chapter three:
We open at a meeting of the BSC, and right off the bat, Abby refers to Kristy as "Fearless Leader:"
Yeah, I'd say that's a pretty accurate picture; just put a ponytail on him (The gun's for members who dare to be late.).
Yap, yap, yap. Kristy big idea. Kid kits. Notebook. Snorrrrrrrre.
Outfit time: Claudia: "...Leopard print tights, black ankle boots with fuzzy yellow slouch socks, black bicycle shorts, a yellow leotard, and this teeny, tiny fuzzy sweater with cap sleeves that was black with big yellow buttons. Her earrings were leopards: on one side, a leopard looked as if it was coming through her earlobe toward you. On the other side, you could only see the back of the leopard, disappearing into her earlobe..."
Leopard leotard? Tarzan and Jane Fonda?
Claudia's got hollowed out books for storing candy.
Mallory's got "brown hair" but "reddish brown." Please make up your mind.
For once, Jessi's intro isn't "BLACK! BLACK! BLACK!" She's described as having "black hair, brown skin, and dark brown eyes." I like that. You know she's black without having it thrown in your face.
Foreshadowing of the subplot: The parents of Stoneybrook are about to issue a TV black out. The reasons are vague: Becca and her friends watch TV whenever they come over. The triplets channel surf (Pre-guide channel era. I hate the scrolling, uncontrollable guide that cable has. I live with the Direct-TV guide channel that you can move by remote. Then I went to school for nine months, where the cheapskates in charge had old-skool cable. I nearly went crazy.).
The BSC will be at the Bat Mitzvah to watch the kids who come with relatives. Of course, they only need three sitters because DEY R TEH AWESOME!!!
Chapter four:
Abby panics when she realizes there's a test. She's been too busy daydreaming about 'Leave it to Beaver', which she says, "...is one of the weirdest shows on TV, stranger than anything on Star Trek." Is she stoned, or is this Abby humor? I'd say she's on Ozzy Osbourne strength drugs.
Anyway, she's in deep shit and by chance, meets a guy who wants to sell her a "study guide." We the readers know this is a red flag, but Abby, who didn't skim the back of the book, buys one. She memorizes it and everything is happy, happy, joy, joy...
Until next time. (Ooh ominous!)
