The Fabulous Five book series has a Freaky Friday type super special. Basically, the girls had a sleepover, got into a big fight, went to bed mad, and woke up the next day in each other's bodies. They lived like a week in someone else's life. At the end of the book they all woke up the morning after the sleepover and realized that they all had the same freaky dreams about body swapping. Their fight was over because the dreams helped them to understand the pressures that the others were under. Anyway... If the BSC had done a Freaky Friday type book, who would you pick to inhabit each other's bodies and why? (Try to say why so it's not just a list. I'm bossy today. Maybe Karen Brewer has invaded my body. )Two people wouldn't have to swap with each other specifically, they could go anywhere. For example, Kristy could go to Mallory's body, but Mallory could go to Kristy's or Jessi's or whoever's.

Claudia and Dawn switching bodies sounds interesting because of their eating habits. I can see Dawn throwing out all the junk food from Claudia's room and I can see Dawn being horrified that Claudia's poisoning he body with all the candy and junk food that she eats while she's in Dawn's body.
Stacey and Dawn sounds interesting as well. I wonder if Stacey will eat sweets while in Dawn's body because Dawn doesn't have diabetes. And I wonder how Dawn will deal with giving herself injections of insulin.

^ Stacey/Dawn could maybe come as a result of Stacey (with or without the aid of another Sitter) finally telling Dawn off about food. I've always wished for a scene were Stacey, especially because of the diabetes got fed up with Dawn's attitude or a disparing remark surrounding junk food, and lost it, telling Dawn how lucky she is to have a true choice. Not to mention the fact that the other members respect Dawn for her eating habits, don't make an overly big deal out of them, so she should in turn do the same for them. I hated that eating=Dawn and that she attempted to "educate" others to follow in her footsteps in the most rude of manners.

^ Stacey telling off Dawn about food have been interesting for the reasons you stated.

Claudia and Stacey. Stacey will be able to eat everything that she wants and maybe Claudia will calm down with how much junk food she eats.

I decided to edit this post because the fic idea didn't belong on here. Let me just say I hope someone will write one of the above story ideas!
Sparklymouse, that is too funny about Dawn/Logan. Though, during a certain female time of month, I could see someone...especially maybe Mal not midning swapping bodies with a guy. I loved your other possibles as well.

Ok, I have thought way too much about this.
Mallory would go to Stacey's body to experience life as an only child. She would see that she could be pretty, popular and 13 and life would still not be a picnic.
Claudia would go to Mary Anne. She's the only one I can see developing an inappropriate crush on Logan and that could get uncomfortable. I'd like to see what she could do with Mary Anne's preppy clean cut clothes.
Mary Anne would go to Mallory. I don't think an aggressive personality like Kristy or Abby would be able to sympathize with Mal since (IMO) the root of Mal's problems was that she didn't stick up for herself. Mary Anne would also get to experience a big family.
Stacey would go to Kristy. She would get the big family, sloppy dresser, junk food eater, and she would be living with a guy she used to date. Interesting.
Jessi and Abby would switch. Would Jessi stay motivated with very little supervision? How would Abby handle having 3 adults watching her?
Kristy would go to Dawn. She would wreck havoc on the We Heart Kids Club and would like living in a bachelor pad with Mr. Shafer and Jeff.
Dawn would go to Logan. ? She's the only one I think could handle waking up with a male organ. ;D

...and she [Stacey] would be living with a guy she used to date. Interesting. Oh, the hijinks that would ensue! Y'know, if they had decided to continue the Super Specials past #15, they would have had a hard time coming up with a new locale for the girls to go to, because it really can't get more super or more special than them going on an overseas trip (what else could they have done, BSC in Space?). They would have had to start coming up with other, non-vacation ideas, and I think a Freaky Friday type book would have been great!

She would be horrified at the thought of dressing like Kristy in front of Sam, and go on a little shopping trip courtesy of Watson. That's an interesting one!

I have to see if the local used bookstore has this Fabulous Five special, because it sounds awesome.
Nobody has mentioned Shannon yet. I think it would be terribly funny for Claudia to wake up in Shannon's body... imagine her horror when she has to wear a uniform to school, and trying to act like she knows what's going on in Shannon's classes and all her after-school activities like debate, honor society, and French club!

i have been thinking a lot about this lately, and i think claudia/abby would be the best. abby is used to a ton of freedom (from an early age) and claudia constantly has somebody breathing down her back, so it would be interesting to see how they would react. abby has to watch what she eats because of her allergies and because she has to eat kosher things, and claudia eats indiscriminately. abby doesn't want a boyfriend, claudia wants a boyfriend so bad she advertises for one. when you think about it they are opposites in every way really.

^ When was it mentioned that Abby has to eat kosher food because I don't recall it being mentioned in any of the books?

^ i don't think it ever does, but i assumed since she had her bat mitzvah, she was pretty devout. i could be wrong though.
