Hey Everyone! Okay, so I actually wasn't planning on writing anymore, but considering the fact that some people actually read my other story (Thank you to HonourDesperation and givemyheart18 for reviewing!!! Therefore I dedicate this story to both of you!) I decided that maybe I'll try writing a little more. Constructive criticism, comments, anything that can help me improve are all very welcome! Sorry this chapter's kind of short. So, without further ado, my story.

Disclaimer: It's all Jane Austen's. Not mine.

This takes place before Pride and Prejudice, during the Bennett girls' childhood. Jane is 13, Lizzy is 11, Mary is 10, Kitty is 7 and Lydia is 6. Since they're kids, obviously their vocabulary is not as complex.

The sun rose over Longbourn, and its residents were slowly waking from their peaceful slumber. In the upstairs hall, where all the bedrooms were located, it was quiet. In the sleeping chamber farthest down the hall, the young girl inside was stirring. She blinked her eyes a few times and yawned. Despite her poor vision, Mary could see that it was going to be a beautiful day. She smiled. Today would be perfect for reading outside and relaxing with some nice Shakespeare. She got out of bed and stumbled toward her dresser to retrieve her spectacles. Mary squinted as she felt around the dresser for her glasses.

"Oh, where are my glasses," she muttered as she felt around the floor. Nothing. Mary was getting irritated. This was not a good way to start a morning. "Where could they be?" she wondered aloud. At once she knew what was going on. Lydia and Kitty. Her little sisters. The most conniving, selfish beings on the earth. Their favorite thing to do was to take Mary's glasses when she was sleeping and hide them somewhere and make Mary search all over the house or do something for them to get her stupid spectacles back. Mary growled. She angrily opened the door and stomped down the hall towards Lydia and Kitty's room. But before she got there, she noticed one of her sisters was walking towards her. She couldn't tell who it was, but was quite certain it was Kitty. With a mighty, war-like cry, she pounced on the poor girl.

"Give me back my spectacles Kitty!" she shouted. She grabbed her sister by the wrists and squeezed hard, trying to pin her down.

"What the-GA-AH! Get off!" cried her sister. "Let go!" That did not sound like Kitty's voice. Mary squinted and looked at her prisoner closely. Upon further inspection, she came to the most embarrassing conclusion that it was not Kitty she attacked; it was Lizzy.

"Oh. Ah. Sorry Lizzy. I didn't realize it was you. Sorry" Mary said sheepishly.

"Yes well, I accept you apology, now would you be so kind as to release my wrists which you are most likely cutting off the blood flow too?" Lizzy said irritated. Mary released Lizzy's wrists and there was an awkward pause.

"I can't find my glasses" said Mary uncomfortably "I think Lydia and Kitty hid them. Again."

"I wouldn't be surprised if they stole your spectacles. And, judging by your little display of anger a few moments ago, you must be very annoyed."

"Yes, I am. Oh! How those two vex me so!" Mary fumed.

Jane came out of her room and looked about wildly. "What's going on here?" Jane said worriedly as she approached Lizzy and Mary. "I heard yelling. Is everything alright?"

"Yes Jane, everything is fine, excluding the fact that Lydia and Kitty stole Mary's glasses again and I was just attacked." replied Lizzy cheekily.

"Jane? Is that you? Oh, I'm happy to see you! Will you help me deal with Lydia and Kitty?" Mary asked as she moved towards the blob that she assumed was Jane. She embraced the blob, and then recoiled with a look of shock on her face "Jane, why are you so cold? And hard?"

"Um, Mary, that's a statue. I'm over here" said Jane. She grabbed Mary's hand and gently guided her away from the statue. "I think we should give Lydia and Kitty a good, long lecture on behavior."

"What good will that do Jane?" said Lizzy "We've done that before, and it hasn't worked. We've told mother and father, and that doesn't work. They don't respond to talking anymore. They're the two most impertinent girls in England, and possibly the whole world!"

"Well, whatever we decide to do," Jane said as she looked pointedly at Mary "we will not use force." Mary blushed.

"Right. Now, I think Lydia and Kitty are downstairs eating breakfast. We should go down and eat and then figure out what to do." said Lizzy.

"Good idea" exclaimed Mary as she let go of Jane's hand and raced down the staircase. She then proceeded to trip, fall down the steps, and land flat on her back. Jane and Lizzy rushed down to see if she was hurt. Thankfully, she wasn't.

"I just fell down the stairs didn't I?" said Mary calmly

"Yes, yes you did" replied Lizzy with the same calm tone. After a few moments, all three girls laughed and the two girls helped their sister up and they all walked to the dining room, Jane and Lizzy both guiding Mary, laughing all the way.

So? What do you think? I will probably write one more chapter just because, and whether or not I continue it from there will be up to the reviewers. Please review! Thanks! 
