I think Jessi and Quint would've been great friends, if not a couple, when they were older (being realistic and going against the time warp here, we'll say sixteen).
I don't ship Jessi with anyone. An OC, maybe, but I also think she'd be the type to retire from ballet gracefully sometime around her thirties and then remain happily single. She wouldn't need a relationship to be happy. Unlike, say, MA or Stacey, whom I can't imagine not settling down or being in a relationship.

Yeah I can't really imagine Mary Anne being in a relationship without drama. She's introverted and prefers her own space, and doesn't like being controlled.

I'm sure MA would (eventually?) find a guy who'd give her the space she needed. But yeah, unless she's lucky, I envision some drama before that happens.

Yeah, I can imagine Mary Anne not being able to settle down in a relationship for a long time. I can imagine, in high school, MA would constantly break up with Logan but get back together with him then break up and so on. In between breaks, I could see her dating guys like Pete Black or Cary or Austin Bentley and other guys.
As for Jessi, I also agree that she and Quint would have been a really good couple as long as they're in high school. I understand that kids at age 11-12 would be "dating" but not technically actual dating. Kids at that age generally just eat lunch together at school and talk on the phone a lot (or in this day and age, text-messaging/emailing/Skyping/Facebook-messaging). Even at 13, kids' "relationships" are nothing serious unlike the older Babysitters Club members' relationships. So, anyway, I think it's totally unrealistic that Quint (an TWELVE YEAR OLD BOY) would "tip Jessi's chin and gently kiss her", let alone "profess his love" to her. I think it's HILARIOUS that Jessi thought Quint would profess his love to her. I haven't read that book before so I have a question: did he profess his love to her?

I liked Quint in NY, NY but in the books after, especially Jessi's Big Break, he seemed too intense. |

^ The Shadow Lake Super Special. In the very beginning of the thread, there's a quote from that book about Jessi talking to Mal that she thinks Quint is going to "profess his love" to her.

^ Ha-ha, I better learn how to read. So, did Daniel profess his love to Jessi? Was Daniel ever mentioned again because I always thought Quint was Jessi's only boyfriend. (I haven't read all the books yet so I don't know every single character of the BSC).

No, they didn't have anything in common except that they were both African-American and Daniel had a girlfriend back home. She goes to some dances with a seventh-grader named Curtis Shaller, but he is never really seen, just mentioned. |

I often forget Daniel isn't a dancer too because of that picture of him and Jessi dancing together in the Shadow Lake Super Special.

My fourth-grade teacher accused me of cheating because no nine-year-old could possibly know all the words I used in my written assignments.  Weirdly enough, I was the only kid in my Year Four (fourth grade, but a year younger because we start first grade at five) class who knew the term "metric system". My teacher did not accuse me of cheating when I put it in our math test on measurement, when we were asked to define the term for everything to do with measurement. Instead, she congratulated me in front of the whole class for being the only one to get it right. I was a little bit favoured by that teacher, but I was in top groups in all areas (reading, math and spelling) and could do the work, plus I was the kid KNOWN for loving books, so I guess being the only one to get obscure knowledge right wasn't as surprising as if it had been, say, one of the kids in all moderate or low groups. (If you want to know how I knew it, I'd recently read Lemony Snicket's book "The Austere Academy" which defined the term as all one teacher did was bring things in, get students to take out their rulers and yell "Measure!" The series used to define unusual or obscure words or creative terms, so I learned a lot of new things from there). |
