Scheming sisters . . .
Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield's father is running for mayor of Sweet Valley. The twins are hard at work on his campaign - but they're taking opposite sides in an even bigger contest: a contest to bring romance into their parents' lives.
Even though Mr. and Mrs. Wakefield seperated only recently, Jessica thinks it's time for them to start dating other people - and she's going to make sure that's exactly what happens.
But Elizabeth is just as determined to get her parents back together. She's thinking up some romantic schemes of her own. It's Jessica versus Elizabeth - may the best twin win!
Jessica fiddled with the gold lavaliere around her neck. "So who else do you think Mom would like to go out with?"
"Are you out of your mind?" Elizabeth shouted, slamming down her book. "Doesn't it mean anything to you that Mom and Dad were happy being together tonight? Doesn't that matter to you at all?"
Jessica sighed and shook her head. "Sure, it was nice, Liz. But it doesn't change anything."
"But this could be the start of their getting back together," Elizabeth insisted. "If you just leave them alone, they'll work it out!"
"I don't think that's going to happen, I really don't," Jessica said regretfully.
Elizabeth's lower lip trembled. "How can you say that? How can you be so casual about it? How can you keep trying to fix Mom up with dates? I think that's really sick!"
Jessica shrugged and leaned back on her elbows. "I just don't want Mom to be lonely, that's all. There's nothing sick about that. You're the one who wants to keep dragging the past around. That's sick."
