Well I have an idea of how me and Sugarbritches recognize each other so if we have ideas we can just PM each other when we get to that point, but other than that I guess we can just let it go.

15 Years later: "Theresa!" Angie yells from her run-down dressing room. No answer. "THERES--" "I'm right here!" Theresa giggles, walking into Angie's dressing room, fixing her dress in place. "I can't find my earring and we're on in 5 minutes!" Angie says frantically, looking around on the floor. The club manager peaks his head into the dressing room and announces, "5 minutes until showtime, girls." He walks out, almost bumping into Kim. "I found a date for us, girls!" Kim says excitedly. "You did? Who are they?" Theresa inquires. "They're handsome, dark and available." Kim replies. "What more do you possibly need to know?" She laughs. "Well, I don't know, Kim. I'm not very good wit--" Theresa goes to explain when Kim interrupts. "Oh Theresa, it'll just be a small dinner. We hardly have enough money for a dinner of our own and they're paying; so why not induldge in a friendly little game of 'You pay for our dinner and we'll pretend we're interested for the evening'?" Kim raises a brow, as if to say 'you think of something better.' "I say it's a good plan! I'm up for it." Angie agrees. "Come on, Theresa. Aren't you just the least bit hungry? We haven't had a real meal in weeks!" Kim says. "I know, but you remember how badly that one idea of yours ended up. We had to date those guys for months!" Theresa says, shaking her head. "How was I supposed to know they were here illegally?" Kim says defensively. "Besides, if you don't like the idea, I'm fine cooking up somemore of those breadsticks. I can make Seltzer water by pouring in carbon dioxide gas and purified water which then--" "No, please spare me the details, Kim. We'll go. WE'LL GO!" Theresa laughs. Kim smirks, nodding her head. "I say we go out with them and see what other kind of things they can buy us...like jewelry!" Angie squeals, giddy. The club manager peaks his head into their dressing room once more and yells: "You're on now, girls! Move it!" The girls finish their last second spruce ups and quickly make their way on the stage. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIFN13-a1iA(CAN I BE PATTI?!)

the announcer steps onto center stage with the spotlight on him.
announcer:...and here are the sisters who are as lovely to look at as the are to hear....the Andrews sisters, singing with harry james and his orchestra.
the curtain opens with the bright light on them in the middle of the stage.
right when the music starts, theresa freezes.
angie:*whispering without trying to move her lips*whats wrong?
theresa: there are too many people here
kim: not again
angie: its okay theresa, just breathe and try.
they begin singing and they do their routine and theresa begins to get comfortable in between her older sisters, but as they finish singing angie catches the eye of and they smile to each other and theresa notices it. she pinches her out of it as they sing the last few notes.
they walk off the stage as angie turns to theresa with a sour look.
angie: that's right, pinch me pinch me!*she says with anger and sarchasm*
theresa: yes i will
angie: why is it that every time i see a man, you pinch me?!
theresa: because i dont want you to get hurt! besides dont you remember that kim got us all dates for tonight?
angie: yes, but my goodness!
kim: you need the right man in your life
angie: but i wanna meet a rich one
kim:ill be right back!
kim goes to find those three men she met before they sung and brang them to meet theresa and angie.
kim:well here they are.*she says with a broad smile*
angie: well hello!
theresa: kim....*signals to her with her hand in the air to come to her*
kim:*whispering* yes, what is it?
theresa:they look a little on the serious side dont they?
angie: excuse me gentlemen.
she walks over to them
angie:what is it?
theresa:dont they look too serious angie?
angie: not at all, they look handsome to me and tall!
kim:there's nothing to worry about theresa, we will have a great time tonight
theresa:uh-huh*she says with a hint of wimpiness in her voice*

*Angie notices one of the men is wearing a pinky ring with a big diamond on it and she naturally gravitates towards him.*
Angie: My name's Angie. What's yours honey? *she says sweetly but also with a hint of sauciness*
Man 1: John Borden *he says as he takes her hand and kisses it looking into her eyes seductively*
Angie: You are a charmer aren't you?
Man 2: So you must be Theresa? *he said as he walked up to her*
Theresa: Yes *she said nervously*
Man 2: I'm Eric Blake and I promise I won't bite *he said picking up on her nervousness towards him*
Chris Logan: Well are you girls ready for a night on the town? *he said putting his arm around Kim's waist*
Kim: Yes!! Let's go.
*The boys took them to a nice restaurant and then to a nite club where they danced till the sun came up.*
Kim: So what did you girls think of them? *she said back in their little apartment*
Angie: Oooh I like John. He's so cute and has such good taste in jewelry.
Theresa: Is that all you can think about?
Angie: No *she said defensively* but wouldn't it be nice to be with someone who can take care of you and not having to scrape by like we are now?
Theresa: I guess. My guy seemed nice too and he's awfully cute.
Kim: So you wanna go out with them again?
Angie: Do you?
Kim: Yeah, they are cute and do know how to have a good time.
Ange: Well I'm up for it. *she said yawning*
Theresa: We better get some rest or we'll be falling asleep on stage tonight.
Kim: That's better than freezing up you nervous nellie *she said teasing her*
Theresa: Hey I can't help it. You know I've gotten much better lately.
Kim: I know, I know.

The next day, as the girls spend their day off cleaning and doing housework, the telephone rings. Theresa, who's sweeping the floor, ignores it. Kim, who's working with her beakers to create seltzer water ignores it as well. Angie, who's doing a bit of 'light' dusting picks up the phone and shakes her head disapprovingly to the other girls. "Hello?" she speaks into the receiver. "Well hiya John! Sure--no, not at all, just primping my nails." She gives a weak chuckle and scans her eyes around the dusty, run--down shack of an apartment. "What? Tonight? Well sure, I don't think we have anything else to do. Yeah, 7 sounds great. See ya' then!" Angie sets down the phone and lets out a giddy squeal. "We've got another date tonight, girls!" Theresa peaks her head around the corner and inquires, "Who?" "Yeah, who?" Kim sets down her periodic table of elements chart and looks up at Angie. "Our boys!" Angie shrieks. "Who else?!" "Oh, them." Theresa rolls her eyes. "I thought you said you liked them!" Angie folds her arms and gives Theresa a scowl. Theresa sighs and nods weakly, "I do; but I just feel bad that we're using them for food and money." "We must survive, don't you agree, Theresa?" Kim inquires. "Well yeah, but can't we be upfront about it and tell them that we like them for who they are; not where they're bringing us for dinner?" "Sure, sis, don't you worry about it. After tonight, if they don't treat us like absolute ladies then we're outta there; no need to worry about that. But if they do treat us properly then we'll know that they're boys to hang onto! And yes, we'll be *gulp* upfront about the dinner." Angie smiles faintly, knowing it ain't gonna be her who's doin' the confessing. "Sounds like a plan!" Theresa smiles and nods approvingly. "What are we gonna wear? Oh! And when are they picking us up?" "They'll be here around 7; it's 5:12 now, so we better start getting ready!" Angie replies, tossing her dust brush aside and walking into her bedroom to scout for an outfit. A couple hours later there's a ring at the doorbell. "Can you get that, Kim?" Angie says as she pulls up her stockings. "Sure." Kim replies, walking to the door. "Hi, is Angie here?" John says as he leans against the door frame coolly, scanning the room with his eyes. "You must be John." Kim replies, extending her hand. "And you must be....Anne?" he shakes her hand. "No, I'm Kim." She chuckles to herself and opens the door further to let him walk in. "Where are you friends?" Kim asks. "They'll be here in a minute, had to take care of some business down by the Rosco's place." John replies, looking around. Kim goes to shut the door when Eric stopped the door from closing on him completely. "Oh, hello. You must be...Eric Blake, right?" Kim asks, looking him up and down. "That's right; the one and only." He says charmingly. "Is Theresa here?" Kim nods and motions to the other room when Chris walks in. I'm sorry Angie, it was either Brando or Cagney. I was so tempted to place this photo of him in the doorway. "He's a special kind of mobster...he's a roman mobster."

That's such a cute pic Theresa!! *John took off his jacket and laid it down on the sand for Angie to sit on.* Angie: The sunset sure is beautiful huh? John: Not as beautiful as you kiddo. Angie: Aw you're sweet. *she said not looking in his eyes but instead focusing on the gold chain he had on around his neck.* You must have a pretty good job to be able to afford all your beautiful jewelry. John: Yeah me and the boys do alright. *he said twisting his diamond pinky ring around his finger* Angie: Oh, you all work together? *John nodded*. What do you do? John: Beer. Angie: What do you mean 'beer'? John: We work for the man who owns the brewery. We collect payments from the restaurants and places that sell it. Angie: That sounds interesting. John: I love it! Hey I don't wanna talk about that though with such lovely company. *he said picking up her hand and kissing it* *Kim and Chris, Theresa and Eric came walking back up the beach towards Angie and John and then the boys took them home.* Kim: Hey girls do you know what the guys do for a living? *she said in a concerned tone* Theresa: Eric said they work for the brewery. Angie: Yeah, that's what John said. Kim: I know but from what Chris said it doesn't really sound like it's quite above board. I had to use the City Streets stuff. I was nearly cracking up typing it!! I can't tell you too how hard it is to have to write a romantic scene between me and Marlon Brando. *Just keep repeating to self - at least it's not Cagney who beat Gary out of an Oscar!!*

The girls arrive back home and take a long, exhausted sigh. "Those men sure do keep you on your toes!" Theresa says, dropping onto the couch. "Yeah they do!" Angie giggles. "And they're rich, too!" Theresa looks over at Kim and gives her an inquiring look. "What's the matter with you, Kim? You got some goofy look on your face" "Oh, do I?" Kim smiles, unable to wipe the smile off her face. "I've just never been in love before -- it's a wonderful feeling." She sighs. Angie laughs, "You've already gone and fallen for the guy!? Well, just wait until you find out you married a multi-millionaire! Then you'll know what real love is about." She sighs over-dramatically. "Marriage?!" Kim sits up. "I haven't said a word abo--" She hesitates, thinking for a second. "Do you honestly think he'd want to marry someone such as I? A gentleman has never paid any mind (oh, this is gonna get old) to me before." Her smile somewhat fades as she remembers what the bullies used to tease her about in school -- with awful nicknames and rude comments. "I was always the nerd in school." "Well, ya' still are a nerd, sis; but we love ya'. And I'm sure Chris will feel the same way. You two look like you're perfect for each other." Angie nods confidently, filing her nails. Although she really isn't thinking about what she's saying, she's just replaying the size of that diamond ring over in her mind. "Yeah Kim, I think you and Chris will make a lovely couple." Theresa smiles sweetly. "I've never dated a man either, so we're in the same boat. You and I will have to take lessons from Angie!" Theresa giggles. Kim fiddles with her beakers and sighs, unable to get Chris's face out of her mind. "Gosh, you're really taken with him, aren't you Kim?" Theresa giggles. "Just as taken as you are with Eric!" Kim laughs. "I guess we're just not used to it." "Wait a minute, you guys; don't make me look like the sleep-around girl, here! I've only had a couple boyfriends in my life and it's only been because--" "They had nice jewelry." Kim and Theresa nod along, laughing. "Oh, cut it out. You know what I mean." Angie returns to filing her nails. "I think John is the one, though. He's so..." Angie hesitates, sighing; and just before the other girls can throw in a smart remark, Angie cuts them off. "SMART!" Angie replies, chuckling at the two who slouch back into their chair and roll their eyes at Angie.

angie: you worry too much
theresa puts on a pout
kim: you know we wouldnt do anything to hurt you
theresa: why do you two always say that?
angie: because youre the youngest
theresa: and you have never let me forget it!

angie: oh look, she is getting one of her old books out again
kim: just wait a second...i read that we should--
