the truth about stacey

"MARY ANNE, I DON'T WANNA SEEM RUDE, BUT I WANNA SMASH YOUR IPAD." Was the first thing that slipped from Daphne's mouth after watching the BSA ad.

"'Need a sitter?' I came up with that!" Kristy bickered.

"Those girls are definitely in high school. Why don't they loiter at the mall like normal teenagers?" Claudia scoffed, rolling her eyes.

"No ones gonna wanna hire them instead of us, right?" Mary Anne asked.

Daphne sighed and sat on the floor with her legs out, covering her thighs.

"Stacey?" Mary Anne whispered.

Stacey thought for a second before speaking.

"No! Definitely not."

"Madam Secretary, will you please read our upcoming jobs?" Kristy requested.

"Stacey is sitting for Charlotte Johanssen Thursday, Claudia is with the three youngest Pikes, Daphne has CeCe Hopper on Saturday, I'm with the Marshall's Saturday and Sunday, plus the Newton's new baby is on its way any minute!" Mary Anne squealed.

Stacey and Claudia began cheering, while Daphne smiled from the floor.

"Ahem!" Kristy announced from her famous chair, making the commotion stop.

"Kim said last month that she's really gonna rely on the club to watch Jamie in the early days." Mary Anne finished.

"So then we're thriving! The babysitters agency doesn't stand a chance! It's just proof of our success. They're trying to get a piece of our action, so we need to differentiate ourselves from the competition." Kristy explained.

Her eyes then widened, and she stood up.

The four sat in confusion.

"Did you say...Kit Kats?" Daphne asked.

"No." Kristy said.

Claudia reached behind her and pulled out a bag of mini Kit Kats, tossing it to Daphne, who opened it up and began eating them.

"'Oh, Kristy, what's a kid kit?' Well, I'm so glad you asked!" Kristy exclaimed.

She went over to Claudia's desk and pulled out a box with many colorful labels on it.

"Mary Anne, why do I love going over to your house so much?" Kristy asked.

"Because it doesn't smell like teenage boy?"

Daphne let out a laugh and ate another Kit Kat.

"Fair, but no. Because your dad has every board game known to man," Kristy said, stuffing the box with random things, "And Daphne, why do I love your house so much?"

"I dunno..." Daphne whispered.

"Because of how pretty and fun it is! Your mom has a lot of things to do. And Stacey-"
