The Baby-sitters Club
The Baby-Sitters Club is a book series for teeny boppers. It is all about spies, traitors, mad-scientist experiments, and genetic engineering. The main girls are Kristy the Freedom Fighter, Claudia the Sidekick, Stacey the Alien Hybrid Offspring, and Mary Anne the Double Agent. They work together to rid the world of the deplorable exploitation of freaks...or rather special humanoid individuals! (And they get paid to watch children that are soon to be the subjects of government testing)

Main Characters[edit | edit source]

The government tried to contain her and use her in experiments, but Kristy saved her. She is currently hiding in Connecticut because she lives of the flavor of nutmeg. Her strange genetics have given her Vampire Disease and so she avoids the sun or her skin will crinkle.
- Mary Anne the Double Agent- Mary Anne was originally comissioned by the CIA to investigate Kristy and her club. But when she joined and learned of the heroic efforts to save the oppressed freaks, she was enlightened of the error of her ways!

Movie[edit | edit source]
Of course the series was perfectly set up to be a movie. Based of a popular book series? Check. Aimed at teeny bopper girls? Check. Something for the teeny boppers to squeal at (Children)? Check. Drama? Check. CIA? Check. Slimey, rabid children plotting to kill the protagonists? Check.
Main Plot Points:
- Claudia discovers that someone (Mallory) has infected all the children with a glue allergy. Mallory tries to cover up her mistake by burning down the local summer camp, where pre-pubescents go to glue crap together.
- Not to be deterred, Kristy convinces the town to move the camp to a new location and hopes to cure the children. She thinks it will be easier to give them all the cure if they are stuck in the same one-mile radius.
- But OH NO! The camp supervisor wants the children to make macaroni art! What will happen if these children are exposed the the allergen? What will the glue do to them?!
- Meanwhile, Stacy's disease is acting up. Mary Anne hasn't been able to sneak the medecine she needs from the CIA for a while. How could Stacy save the children if she can't even go outside?! Luckily she now has free time to try to create a cure for the children while in her basement laboratory.
- Unfortunately, Haberman, an old lady who genetically engineers flowers that contain venemous pollen, has also discovered the childrens' ailment. But she plans to use it to stop the children from ruining her poisonous flowers! (That oddly don't affect them) She intends to feed them glue!
- After trying every way possible, short of pouring the glue down the kid's throats, Haberman realizes that her plan is more difficult than anticipated. She instead befriends Stacy, who is lonely without being able to go outside without turning into a crisp of carbon.
- When Stacy creates a capsule filled with the cure, Haberman injects them with...dun Dun-Dun DUN...GLUE!
- The gates of hell open and all the children start acting rabid: biting, scratching, and foaming. They ooze acidic slime and begin to eat Haberman's flowers.
- In an attempt to stop them, Haberman jumps into the rapid mosh pit of slime-oozers and is quickly eaten / disintegrated.
- The venom in Haberman's flowers cures the children and they all pass out on the ground.
- They wake up 5 hours later, not remembering a thing.
- They baby-sitters club eats ice cream and smiles as the camera fades
