A School and a plan
The CBB -> St Clare's House

#1: A School and a plan Author: CeciliaLocation: Brum PostPosted: Sat Feb 19, 2005 4:42 pm


The triplets had never been so excited in their life. "I mean," said Len. "What could be better than going to a school..."

"Made up entirely of your own family!" Con finished for her.

"I know!" Margot joined in. "I wonder what form we'll be in?" The triplets ran off laughing and discussing the term ahead.

Meanwhile, in the Staffroom, Madge, Dick, Joey, Jem, Jack, Mollie and Mary-Lou were discussing something that they could come to no agreement about.

"I'll be headgirl!" said Mary-Lou firmly. "I mean, it would be unfair to choose between all the different siblings, so, what better choice can you make than me?" She quietly sank as low as she could into her seat when she saw the glares she was receiving as a result of the comment about there not being a Bettany/Russell/Maynard better than her. Then Mary-Lou remembered who she was. "But," she said. "I thought that if I said something cheeky you were all meant to laugh and say, if any other girl had said that it would be cheek, but it's different from Mary-Lou!"

Madge, Jem, Joey and Jack all promptly laughed and said "Oh yes, I remember!" because they were under the Spell of Mary-Lou, which was a curse that Mary-Lou's grandmother had put on Mary-Lou. Even Miss Annersly, who was an all-powerful being because she didn't wear glasses, had fallen under that spell. But Dick and Mollie hadn't seen Mary-Lou often enough to be affected by the radiation that came out of Mary-Lou's 'Kenwigses' (which was the special name for the transmitter that they contained), and they still wanted a Bettany/Russell/Maynard to be Headgirl.

"How about Peggy?" said Dick, and after a long argument, they finally agreed that Peggy should be Headgirl and Mary-Lou should be left in the corner whilst the sedative (that had had to be administered because of Mary-Lou's anger that someone else would be chosen for headgirl over her) wore off.

Don't worry! You are not being ignored! I've only just come on the board and saw this straight away. I love the 'curse' and the radiating kenwigses. I always had a picture of them straight down her back but now I can see they must have stood straight up.Shocked Do go on, please. I need a laugh at the moment!

sorry to be pushy! thanx they helped! specially the comment about the standing out to theside kenwigses that will be used!

When Mary-Lou woke up, she found the door hard to open. When it finally opened up, she found that she couldn't get through anyway. "I really should cut my hair!" she mused, as she reached out to the sides and grabbed her Kenwigses, trying to force them down. They just bounced back up again, and managed to hit Jem, who had come up to her from behind, in the face. "Oh, I'm sorry!" she exclaimed, but couldn't help giggling as Jem's face became relaxed as she pressed the button on the back of her ear.

"Oh, it's okay, Mary-Lou! It was you, after all, not some other cheeky girl!"

Mary-Lou laughed. "I quite agree!" she murmurmed, as she turned sideways and stepped out the room.

Jem looked after her, and got out the walkie talkie from his pocket. "Quite as I thought Jack! She will have to be watched! And remember not to tell her about the headgirl! See if she forgets!"

Jack Maynard quickly approved Jem's suggestion, and put his walkie talkie down on the kitchen table. Joey was quite startled when he walked past her, muttering, "A tobbogan, and some shears, a tobbogan, and some shears..."

"Jem, can you control the weather? Because I can't! We aren't going to get snow in August, however much you need it!"

"No, I can't control the weather! But if my calculations are correct.." and when were Jem's ideas not correct? "Mary-Lou can!"

Jack nodded. "I get it! It's all part of the global warming thing, isn't it?"

"Another sedative will be needed!"

Jack left the room, and Jem was left alone. "Now, the school is starting tomorrow, but it is VITAL that Mary-Lou doesn't attend. We'll be needing more than one...."

Joey was decorating the bedrooms. "Gentian, Alpen Rose, Crimson, Blue Bell... What forms are we having Madge?" She was informed that there were only six forms in the new school. Joey went to pin up the form list on the notice board. "Wel, Madge," said Joey, seriously, "Considering the background of this school, I think we'll have the best behaved pupils ever!"

Mary-Lou took her ear away from the door, and glared nastily through the key hole instead. "If they think they're going to get away with thinking that their clan is anu better than MARY-LOU, of all people, they really have got another think coming!" And she was about to stalk away, when she realised one of her antennae was stuck in the crack of the door...

Yay, we need a FCS drabble.

 


#11:  Author: claireLocation: South Wales PostPosted: Sat Feb 19, 2005 5:55 pm


I've got a mental image now of Mary-Lou looking like Pippi Longstocking

 


#12:  Author: CeciliaLocation: Brum PostPosted: Sat Feb 19, 2005 6:44 pm


Not even the people most deeply under the Mary-Lou curse could pretend that they hadn't caught Mary-Lou eavesdropping. Everyone was shocked and appalled, but after a short meeting with Hilda, Mary-Lou had promised that she would be a good Chalet School girl, and never eavesdrop again. But no-one suspected that Mary-Lou would lie...

Madge almost refused when Jem and Jack wanted to take Mary-Lou toboganning with the rest of the clan, later in the afternoon. "She's been eavesdropping!" Madge said in an undertone, but Jem was adamnant.

"She's coming, Madge! Look, she's promised to be good from now on, just leave it at that!"

Madge went on to name Mary-Lou's sins, including refusing to have her hair cut. "She whacked you in the face with those... those... Kenwigses of hers!" Madge said in contempt. "And you haven't punished her! Harrumph!" And Madge marched off.

"You wait, Mary-Lou, you just wait..."

"Margot, where is Emerence?" said Jem in despair.

Margot looked round, then shook her head. "I thought she was here!" A long, distinctive cry of, "MAR-GOT! MAR-GOT!" came echoing down the hill, and Margot managed to locate her to the very top of the hill.

Jem secretly smiled to himself,then said, "Mary-Lou, will you go and warn Emerence that she's not to come down from the top of the hill!" Mary-Lou dutifully set off to tell the girl that she wasn't behaving like a real chalet school girl.

At the top of the hill, Jack Maynard was sneaking up on Emerence from behind a bush. He pushed Emerence hard, saw her fly down the slope, smash into Mary-Lou (who had very slow reflexes) who went flying into a tree.

"Aha!" said Jack. "Jem Russell never does get anything wrong!" Jack went back behind the bush, and peeped round to see Mary-Lo and Emerence being taken off in an ambulance. Then Jem Russell himself ran up the slope towards Jack.

"See, Jack? Everything worked PERFECTLY! I'm not a world famous doctor for nothing, you know!" Jack agreed heartily. "Now, Jack, I must go and comfort my wife, and Joey, and all the kids who are going to be upset! You get down to the hospital and complete the next part of the plan. Jem sped back down the slope, and Jack looked after him.

"Now then," he said slowly. "Where did I put those shears?"

If, as I think it is, this is your first drabble on the board, I love it! *Please help Jack find the shears Twisted Evil *

Jack reached under the dying patients bed, and crowed triumphantly. "Got them!" he announced. The patients flinched as he waved the shears round. Now all he had to do was find Mary-Lou. Jack left the ward, and conveniently bumped into Jem. "I found them!" he said.

"Great!" said Jem drily. "Please try not to kill me with them!"

Jack turned red. "Sorry! Where's Mary-Lou hanging?" he asked.

"Well," said Jem. "I sincerely hope she's not hanging, but she's in the ward on the right upstairs.

"Great!" said Jack cheerfully, and set off to find his patient. Upstairs, on the left, he said to himself, upstairs on the left. Fortunately for Jack, he didn't know right from left, and turned right at the junction. He saw Mary-Lou lying in bed, and realised what a great missionary he was. "Hello, Mary-Lou! Here is your sedative that Jem told me to give to you!"

"Why?" said Mary-Lou. "Well, I suppose it must be right, if Uncle Jem said..." Jack nodded, and gave Mary-Lou the milk with the sedative in it. Mary-Lou drank, slowly but surely, and soon enough she was asleep. Jack pulled the curtains round her bed, and set to work. Not even the bravest of patients could not be scared when Jack came out with the shears covered in bent metal, and green goo...

Jack and Jem were cheering loudly when Joey walked in.

"What's all the noise about?" she demanded, and Jack and Jem laughed at the fun-spoiler.

"Mary-Lou's Kenwigses are gone!" said Jem. "Now there is no more global warming, and best of all, no Mary-Lou curse!"

"What?" said Joey. "You knew about the curse too?"

Jack laughed. "Me and Jem made a plan, to get rid of the Kenwigses. And it worked! I chopped them off!" he finished proudly.

"Well done, Jack! You see, I asked Mary-Lou about them and she said it was for the good of the world if she left them as they were!" And then Joey realised what she had said, and that she had fallen victim to the Mary-Lou curse again.

"Now that we've got that worry out of the way," said Jem. "There was something else that Madge made me fork out loads for and worry about. What was it?" The three adults sat with blank faces for a few moments.

"The SCHOOL!" exclaimed Joey. "I was meant to be teaching history now!" And Joey left the room in a hurry.

The problem of Mary-Lou was solved (until they realised that she was evolving into a new creature, then she really would be OOAO), and the school was closed down from the second week into the term, because of calls from the Chalet school about pupil favouritism in who was selected to go to Madges school and who had to stay at the Chalet School. These claims were promptly denied, because they obviously weren't true. And Miss Annersly cried for two straight days because no-one wanted to stay at her school. So all was well in the Chalet School world!

Well that was a short drabble!

Probably a sign of my sick sense of humour, but (having reached the end of the drabble), I'm still ROFL at Jack's caring and dedication as a doctor
