holliHere what I can up with in response to your prompts. First, here's the list:
1. Mary Lennox (The Secret Garden)

And here's the results:
tell me about the time 5 saved 9's life.
Marianne hadn’t, actually, meant to be in Ulverscote at the full moon that night. But there she was, and Irene was out of town, and everyone looked to her when her uncles caught a werewolf by the duckpond at the Dell. Dad was all for killing it, but Marianna had learnt a bit about werewolves at the Castle-- they weren’t at all native to this series, and in fact were very rare throughout the Related Worlds. So whoever the werewolf was, they were very far from home, and probably quite terribly confused to find themselves in Ulverscote.
In the morning, the young lady-- her name turned out to be Angua, and she was perfectly nice-- apologized profusely for the ducklings.
if 2 and 8 went to the same high school, would they be friends or competitors?
If Buffy and Toph went to the same high school... uh. In my head, this means Toph with full earthbending powers as a freshman at Sunnydale High. Which would be AMAZING. She would gleefully stomp vampires and demons to her heart’s content, and Buffy would not really know how to deal with her lack of inner conflict. I don’t think they’d *clash* as such-- they’d just be on totally different wavelengths. Toph would probably like Joyce, though.
if you were to assign the five original babysitters club jobs (president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer) to 1, 7, 10, and 12 who would get which position?
Oh, boy. Mary Lennox, Harriet Vane, Luna Lovegood, and Scully. Well, Luna clearly = Claudia, so I’m giving her vice president. Harriet would probably nab secretary, on the grounds that she types the fastest. There would be an extremely brief power struggle between mary and Scully for the presidency, because Mary is stubborn, but let’s face it-- if Scully wants to be president, Scully gets to be president.
describe the sitcom about the family that includes 4 and 13 as two moms, 11 as their daughter, and 14 as the wacky neighbor.
Steph Brown and Jadzia Dax as two moms. Huh. Okay. I’m positing a grown-up Steph for this, at which point I think she and Dax would get along swimmingly. They would both probably be fairly laid-back parents, and assume that their kid was capable of getting out of any trouble they got into. This is fortunate, because Nani Pelekai would not cope with helicopter parenting very well.
Their neighbor, Emily Roland, is not so much wacky as in possession of a very large dragon. Which makes the neighborhood a lot more interesting.
finally, the classic. fuck, chuck, and marry: 3, 6, and 15.
Matilda, Martha, Wendy Watson. Gotta chuck Matilda, sadly, although I think we’d have some great talks about books. Fuck Wendy, because have you *seen* Wendy? And marry Martha, because she’s just that awesome.
1 and 3 are in publishing and they're trying to decide which book to publish - the one by 15, the one by 12 or the one by 7.
Mary Lennox and Matilda Wormwood would run an *awesome* publishing company together. They would do gorgeous reprint editions of Victorian literature and books of fairy tales, but when they decided to look for new talent they would have a pretty hard time deciding between Wendy Watson, Dana Scully, and Harriet Vane. Wendy’s art book-- coffee-table sized-- would be gorgeous, but maybe a little too modern for Mary or Matilda’s tastes. Scully’s exhaustively-researched volume on weird autopsies throughout history would appeal to the scientist in Matilda, but probably get vetoed by Mary. I suspect they would settle on publishing Harriet Vane: she’s already a successful writer, so she’s got guaranteed sales, and even though Matilda complains the mysteries are too easy to solve, she likes the characters.
1, 8, and 15 take a road trip. What food do they bring? Where do they go?
Mary Lennox, Buffy, and Wendy Watson. Well, Buffy and Wendy were investigating some weirdness, crossed paths, and got launched back in time to Victorian Yorkshire. Mary accompanies them to the Watcher’s Council, where they’re hoping they can catch a ride home. Mary doesn’t understand why Buffy and Wendy act sort of grossed out by perfectly ordinary food, or why they spend so much time sighing over something called “fast food” together, which they both seem to miss a great deal. Honestly, she’s happy to see the back of them-- they’re always making jokes and saying things that only make sense to the two of them, and Mary feels a bit left out.
2, 5, 7, and 11 form a band. What's their genre? Which of their songs makes it big?
Toph, Marianne, Harriet, Nani. I suspect they would play jazz. Toph drums, Marianne plays bass, Nani plays some sort of brass, and Harriet sings. Their hit song is called “Life is Strange (and Wonderful).”
3, 9, and 12 are committing a crime when 10 and 14 interrupt them. What's the crime? What do 10 and 14 do?
Matilda, Angua, and Scully are stealing a book. It’s an important book, although the three of them want it for differenct reasons. Angua and Scully, as law enforcement officers, feel bad about having to do it, but Matilda steamrollers over their objections and provides a brilliant plan. Luna and Emily Roland are in the library, looking for different but equally important books, when they come across the crime in progress. They decide not to intervene: Luna knows how important books can be, and Emily knows that sometimes you have to break the rules.
4 finds a TARDIS. Where and when is she headed?
Steph Brown finds a TARDIS! Oh man. That would be wonderful. First she would probably make a quick hop back in time to punch a young Arthur Brown in the face, much to his bewilderment. Then, with the whole universe at her feet, she would probably decide she wanted some buddies to explore with and bring Tim and Cass along for the ride. The future won’t know what hit it. (Tim wants to jump far enough into the future to make sure he doesn’t end up Batman. Steph vetoes this firmly.)
6 and 13--together, they fight crime. How's that working for them?
Martha Jones and Dax. Well, Martha’s used to hanging out with many-lived aliens, so that actually wouldn’t faze her one bit. In fact, she might be a little startled to be fighting bad guys alongside a many-lived alien who sometimes acknowleges that rules exist, and might be worth following. Dax admires competence, and she’s always liked doctors. They make a good team.
9, 13 and 15 somehow end up on reality TV. What happens?
Angua, Dax, and Wendy Watson. Well, if it’s any kind of trivia show, Dax will probably win on breadth of knowledge, though Wendy will put up a good fight on the pop-culture front. Angua, sadly, considers trivia trivial. If it’s a stuck-in-a-house type show, they will probably get on okay, although Angua will be cranky about Wendy leaving painting supplies everywhere, and Dax might crab about Angua getting hair on the sofa. But they are all fairly easy-going when it comes to living conditions, and will have a hell of a lot of fun swapping stories, so I don’t foresee any big drama.
2, 6, 11, and 13 take a class from 8. What is the class in, and how do they do?
Toph, Martha, Nani, and Dax take a class from Buffy. Obviously, it is a class at Ass-Kicking School, and they are all A students. By the end of the class, everyone can flip grown men over their shoulders and knocks dudes out with one blow. Without even earthbending anything at them.
Somebody has 4 and 6 held hostage and tells 8 to decide which one lives and which one dies. What happens next?
Steph and Martha held hostage with Buffy to decide? Man, that is not a lucky hostage taker. Steph would probably kick him in the teeth before he even finishes delivering the ultimatum. Then Buffy would be like “...ever have dreams about vampires?” before establishing that teen vigilante =/= Slayer. Martha would resignedly stop the poor hostage-taker’s bleeding, but she wouldn’t bother to be gentle about it.
What happens when 10 and 5 meet?
Ooh, Luna Lovegood and Marianne Pinhoe. They would have a totally fascinating talk about different kinds of magic, and both of them would learn a great deal. Even if Marianne finds Luna distinctly odd.
