We are always posting things we "wished" had happened in a book or that we had gotten to "see." I know this "game" idea is similar to the "Positive BSC" Thread already in motion, but I thought it was "different" enough to try. I apologize if this belongs in "The Fun and Games" Section." I wasn't sure. Same "idea" as the + and - BSC. Book by book each person will list three things they wished had happened. This can be "deleted" scenes or something new. Heck, it might even inspire some fan fic. Kristy's Great Idea: I wish: 1. We had gotten to read about Sam's baby-sitting job at Watson's. 2. Elizabeth and Richard were the couple dating. 3. Stacey had not yet come to Stoneybrook. I think that might have given us a better glimpse of the friendship between Kristy, Mary Anne, and Claudia. Next Book: Claudia and the Phantom Phone Calls

I like this thread. Good thinking! I can't think of anything great for Claudia and the Phantom Phone Calls, though. I'll jump in at a later book.

i like this idea!
claudia and the phantom phone calls: 1. i wish we could have found out more about the real phantom. they worried about him for the whole book but we never even found out his name. 2. i wish the goldmans hadn't been robbed. there aren't many mentions of them but they always seem really nice. 3. i wish we could have read more about the dance. claudia, kristy and stacey are all seeing their dates for the first time, so there was SO much potential to see all those relationships starting.
next: the truth about stacey

The Truth About Stacey:
1. I wish we could have seen how Kristy "recruited" Janet and Leslie for the club.
2. I wish there had been more detail about the McGill's Thanksgiving. We only got a couple of sentences.
3. I wish we had gotten to see the BSA's demise firsthand rather than Stacey being told about it when she got back from NYC.

Mary Anne Saves the Day:
I should really be "banned" from doing this book since it marked the beginning of Dawn and the end of MA's friendship with Kristy and to a lesser extent Claudia and Stacey as well, but here goes anyway. Other than "No Dawn," here are my "3."
1. We had read about Mary Anne and Dawn making fudge.
2. The "fight" had never happened, so Dawn (maybe) could have been introduced in a less "convenient" way.
3. Mary Anne had called Kristy at the Prezziosos'.
Next: Dawn and the Impossible Three

This isn't specific to a given book, but I wish we knew specifically what models the Pink Clinker and Junk Bucket are.

^Me, too. I would also love to have read about Nannie getting the Pink Clinker! Should we start a seperate "I Wish" thread for general things?

^ I like that idea!
Dawn and the Impossible Three 1. We saw more of the family dynamic with the three Schafers because Jeff didn't see that unhappy.
2. Sharon was such a loony scatterbrain and actually had some personality!
3. Pow would bite the crap out of Ms. Barrett when his beloved buddy was taken!

LOL, Wiggirl, all of your "wishes" are so very funny. True, too. I'll go start a seperate "wish" thread right now.

To try and get this going again Kristy's Big Day Other than my main wish that it had been Richard marrying Elizabeth: 1. I wish the Thomas family dynamic had not been changed after this in terms of the relationships between Kristy and her mom and Kristy and her older brothers. I loved K's convo with Sam and Charlie on the porch. 2. I wish Watson's manison had been closer to Bradford Court (walking/biking distance) 3. I wish Karen had gotten in trouble for her behavior toward Mrs. Porter at the wedding. Next: Claudia and Mean Janine

Claudia and Mean Janine
1. I wish Mimi hadn't had her stroke. It would have changed the whole book, but I liked her character and thought it was a shame that we only got to see her pre-stroke for a few books.
2. I wish the title was different. It's misleading since Janine is not the mean one here. It should have been something about summer or changes.
3. I wish Claudia had talked more with her parents. There seemed to be a big lack of communication between family members all around, not just the sisters.
Next: Boy-Crazy Stacey

boy crazy stacey: 1. i wish MA had stuck up for herself more instead of asking alex for help. 2. i wish the pike parents had actually spent time with their kids on vacation. it's one thing to want some time to yourself. it's another thing completely to offer the help only one day a week off, and to expect them to take those days separately. 3. i wish scott hadn't been such a creeper. they could have written him as a nice older guy who didn't mean to lead stacey on, but this guy knew exactly what he was doing.
next: the ghost at dawn's house

The Ghost at Dawn's House: 1. I wish the Jared Mullary legend had not been (basically) abandoned after this book. 2. I wish Mr. or Mrs. Pike had at the very least checked out the safety of the passage, preferably with Nicky (cool bonding opportunity). 3. Can I say that a "real" Ghost scared Dawn back to Palo City forever? Next: Logan Likes Mary Anne
