(A/N: You can't really see them, but in the corner there are shorts. They're not pants!!!)

"SEA CITY!" STACEY CHEERED, "1 week, 8 Pikes, 2 babysitters."

"I can't believe you guys are going," said Claudia.

"I can't believe your dad is letting you go!" Kristy exclaimed.

"Yeah, how is Richard taking it?" Dawn questioned.

Mary Anne made a face, "Pretty good...considering, he did make me only get one-pieces, which made him feel like he was, again, exerting some measure of control."

"We'll go bikini shopping on our night off, it'll be our chance to bond," Stacey said with a smile.

"Really?"

"Yeah!"

"I'm jealous!" Blue laughed, her head resting on Dawn's shoulder.

"Yeah, you guys get to go on a glamorous business trip, while I'll be dying of boredom in Vermont," Claudia complained.

"You'll be with Mimi," Mary Anne brought up.

"She'll be bored, too."

"Speaking of boring, this whole wedding stuff has turned my mother into the most basic person to ever live. 'Flutes or Saucers? Roses or Orchids?'  It's like talking to a brides magazine from the 1950s."

"At least she's not obsessively looking for dates on Tinder. Sharon swipes right on everyone, it's why I can't leave her alone."

Everyone giggled.

"Well, my dad will be at home, and vulnerable," Mary Anne mentioned.

"Say no more, the game is afoot," Dawn replied, "Project Parent trap begins now."

Dawn and Mary Anne stood up and began doing the parent trap handshake.

Kristy got up from her seat, "Ok, before we get into all of that, let's lay out some ground rules."

The girls plopped back down in their seats.

"The BSC code of conduct."

"Oh, brother," Claudia groaned.

"No texting during sitting hours! We can't afford any distractions!" Kristy exclaimed, "And be hyper-vigilant with sunscreen application. And most importantly..."

The brunette paused.

"Oh, don't worry, I can disconnect my pump for up to an hour if I wanna swim," Stacey mentioned.

"No- I mean, good. But, most importantly..."

There was a pause.

"I'm gonna miss you guys!"

"Kristy! You're gonna make me cry!" Mary Anne enveloped her friend in a hug.
