#8 Boy-Crazy Stacey: Chapter 13

Read on for the most R-rated scene in Babysitters Club history!

Last day at Sea City! Stacey sends Kristy another notebook postcard, though again, there isn't really anything BSC notebook-worthy in it. And what would a BSC vacation book be without a postcard that ends with I'll probably see you before you get this card!? Then what's the point in sending it? *headdesk* Seriously, this "send a notebook entry via postcard every day on penalty of death" thing is one of Kristy's worst ideas. Not as bad as the Fall into Fall Festival, or the Baby Parade float, but it's still up there.

Stacey’s postcard to Claudia is also kind of pointless. She says she's going on a date with Toby and she'll tell her about it when she gets home. Seriously, sending Claudia another postcard is just going to make her brain hurt from all that extra reading.

Surprisingly, Dee gives Mary Anne and Stacey the final night off, instead of leaving them with the kids and going on another romantic night alone with her husband, like they've been doing the whole trip. The girls are thrilled but Stacey says they make sure not to celebrate too much, so as not to upset the kids. Whatever, Stacey. I'm sure the kids are thrilled because it means spending time with Mom and Dad for the third whole time in the two weeks they've been at Sea City.

All the kids want to go to the beach one last time, so while Stacey and Mary Anne get them ready, Stacey gets a Great Idea. Don't tell Kristy! Even if she's back in Stoneybrook, she'll still wish she had thought of it! Stacey wants to invite Alex and Toby along on their night off so they can go on a double date! Cue Mary Anne freaking out because 1. OMG GO ON A DATE?!?! and 2. OMG GIRLS DON'T ASK BOYS OUT!

Stacey, who's so sophisticated and always up on the current trends, calls Mary Anne old-fashioned. Well, Mary Anne is the BSC member most like Ann Martin, so she's right there.

So Stacey tells Mary Anne to get with the times, and reminds her this could be the last time they see Toby and Alex. Well, at least until next time, when Toby dumps Stacey then goes on the prowl after Mallory, of all people. Or was that in the Super Special? I didn’t read either of those so I’m not 100% sure.

Either way, Stacey sends Mary Anne to do the dirty work of asking the boys and after momentarily spazzing, she gets up and walks over to where they are on the beach. Stacey's surprised and so am I. It's good to see Mary Anne acting confident! Too bad when she meets Logan, it all goes out the window, and she can barely talk to him without nearly throwing up. Kind of like how Stan always pukes when Wendy talks to him on South Park.

Mary Anne triumphantly returns, looking a little smug, Stacey observes. Yeah, Stacey! You're not the only one who has a way with boys! They're meeting Toby and Alex at 6 p.m. at the restaurant Hercules' Hot Dogs. Which sounds like the name of a really cheesy porn movie. And it fits because when they're at Hercules', it's the dirtiest scene ever in the BSC. But, I'm getting ahead of myself.

Stacey tells us she and Mary Anne spent almost an hour (45 minutes) getting ready for their big date? I’ve definitely taken longer to get ready for things than that. They end up wearing the same outfits from their last trip to the boardwalk. Wait. Stacey wore the same outfit two days in a row?! *GASP* What would Claudia say? Probably "I don't even KNOW you anymore!"

Even though they're wearing the same outfits, they still think of other things to do, like put on perfume and nail polish. Wow, Mary Anne is living on the edge on this trip! Buys herself another bikini, asks a boy on a date, wears nail polish. And not just any nail polish. Yellow sparkly nail polish! Mallory will be very jealous. You know how she loves sparkly things.

They get to the restaurant on time, with the boys arriving shortly after. Mary Anne swoons to Stacey over how nice Alex looks (we aren't given an outfit description, no fair!) but Stacey points out that her man Toby looks so much better. Ouch. Toby's wearing baggy white cotton pants and an oversized blue and white striped sweater. Hot. And I think I saw that same outfit on a Ken doll back in the day.

Now we come to what I was talking about before. Hercules' main feature was hot dogs that really were an entire foot long. Yet Stacey orders a burger instead. I know, right? Stacey turning down a foot-long. And I didn't know diabetics couldn't have hot dogs.

I guess the portions are huge because Stacey and Mary Anne only finish 2/3's of their dinner, while the boys eat theirs, finish up what the girls didn't eat, then each order another hot dog. Gross. All while Stacey says Toby told "the longest joke in the history of comedy." Let's hope it isn't this one: A family walks into a talent agency. It's a father, mother, son, daughter and dog. The father says to the talent agent, "We have a really amazing act. You should represent us." If Toby told the Aristocrats joke, Mary Anne's head would explode.

It seems Mary Anne has other things on her mind, because Stacey says she had to nudge Mary Anne to "get her eyes off the hot dogs." Mary Anne is truly getting in touch with her sexual side here in Sea City. First she stares in amazement at Stacey's heavenly boobs of wonder, now she gets an eyeful of Toby's and Alex's hot dogs.

To keep Mary Anne's mind off of the foot-longs being devoured by their dates, Stacey asks Mary Anne if she's ok being alone with Alex for awhile while she goes off with Toby. Geez Stacey, on the first date? Since Mary Anne's still riding her confidence high, she slowly breaks into a huge smile and says yes. Stacey grins and says if she weren't in the middle of the restaurant, she would have hugged her. Seriously, Stacey, on the fir-oh wait, she wants to go to the boardwalk with Toby.

And, finishing up this BSC Scene of Euphemisms: At last, the ends of the boys' hot dogs disappeared into their mouths. We left Hercules'. No wonder Mary Anne couldn't take her eyes off it.

Mary Anne and Alex go off to shop, while Toby and Stacey head to the arcade. Stacey wins him a hat (probably one of those cheap, flimsy ones you get at carnivals) and in stereotypical wholesome date fashion, Toby wins Stacey a teddy bear. Only she decides to call it Toby-Bear.

Toby-Bear?! And she rolls her eyes at Mary Anne for being immature?

They stroll around the boardwalk a little more and then they go into a shop that sells seashells (try saying that three times fast). While Stacey digs through a bin of conch shells, Toby hands her a little paper bag. Money he swiped out of Mary Anne's purse at the restaurant? Certain, uh, things to use for later? No. Further enshrining himself in the Unbelievable BSC Date Hall of Fame, Toby bought her a shiny, pale pink shell for Stacey to remember him by. Stacey has a knack for getting free stuff from guys she's barely met, doesn't she? She almost cries when she thanks him. Did she and Mary Anne switch personalities?

But he isn't done yet! Stacey and Toby's Date Night of Cliches culminates with a trip through the Tunnel of LUV! This is how you know how serious Toby is: It's the Tunnel of LUV, not the Tunnel of Love! And, of course, as they're going through the ride in a giant swan boat, Toby leans over and kisses her. Stacey claims it's her first kiss. So she never kissed any of those other boyfriends she says she’s had?
