This story got way, way long, but it's still Sunday where I am! I hope I haven't muffed any Karen canon too badly, since I haven't been au courant with the Little Sister books since, oh, when I was Karen's age. Thank goodness for the Complete Guide.

Karen's Prom Dress by mayhap
Baby-Sitters Club. Kristy Thomas/Karen Brewer. PG. 4,205 words.
Karen wants to be just like her stepsister, Kristy. Or maybe she wants something else.

Notes: Written for piperrhiannon for short_takes. Karen is in 6th grade and Kristy is a freshman in college.
