Just a warning for all those who thinks this story is about "Becoming Jane" well it really isn't. This is actually a story based off the TV movie "Miss Austen Regrets" and yes this is a time travel piece so if you don't want to read it I understand. Anyway on with the story.

2015

I will admit up front I am totally in love with Jane Austen's works. That time period seemed so simple to me though I am sure back then times weren't as easy as in the book.

My name is Andria. I am a college student and an American in case anyone needed to know.

Let me tell you right now this isn't your average story. I was a simple person really until I somehow travel back in time.

I was driving home from one of my classes. I only lived ten minutes away. A really strong storm was starting and I thought I could make it home. I kept driving as fast as I could while still being within the speed limit when a freaking deer came out in front of me and I swerved my car out of the way and the minute I did that it was also struck by lightning.

I woke up and found myself half in a river or some kind of stream and half on shore. I looked around and my car was no where in sight. I thought it was really odd. I mean how did I get thrown out of the car? I slowly pick myself up and start to look around. No of this seems familiar to me at all. I walk up the hill before me when I see a tall manor before me. I know this is cheesy but I guess I'm not in Kansas anymore.

"Hello? You there excuse me young man?" I hear someone call out to me.

I see a young woman and a man sitting together on a bench at first then they start coming my way. Wait did she just call me a man?! I stand still as she comes up and examines me.

"You are a woman!" the woman exclaims.

"What was your first hint? My boobs?" I ask her sarcastically.

"Oh I thought since the way you were dressed you were a man, and you do speak in odd tongue. Come back with me my aunt must meet you!" the woman exclaims taking my arm and forcing me to come with her.

I look at the man as he comes forward taking the lead. Well I can tell he has a stick up his butt. He paid little to no attention to me but I didn't care.

We finally reached the house as the woman took me into the sitting room.

"Look aunt Jane I found a woman dressed as a man." the woman told her.

The woman nearly spit out her tea. "Oh my dear come let us get you in some fresh clothes." the woman says putting her tea down and also taking my arm and taking me away from the group.

"Now my dear what is your name?" Jane asks me.

"I am Andria. I am not from here in any sense not even this country. What year is it?" I ask her in return.

"1814." she tells me as she takes off my brown jacket.

"Oh my goodness, I am from 2015. Please tell me you believe me." I beg her.

"I have no other choice to but the people out there can not know. You are obviously from America so you are a friend visiting me from there. I will teach you what you need to know to survive. At least until you can go home." she tells me.

"Whenever that is." I tell her as she walks away from me to the cabinet.

I take off my top and jeans when the door opens and there stands Mr. stuck up from earlier.

"Forgive me miss, I did not know Miss Austen brought you in here." he tells me covering his eyes.

"You are obviously a virgin." I think to myself and I pick up my shirt and hold it over me.

The man turns and walks out closing the door behind him. Jane comes back and has quite a bit of cloth in her hand.

"Alright you will dress in this. I am sure it should fit someone as skinny as you." she says she starts dressing me.

By the time we are done she takes me over to a mirror and see that she has dressed me in a light green dress and put my hair up. I can't believe this is really happening. I am with Jane Austen I feel faint but then I regain my composure.

"Now just follow my lead, you were playing a trick on my niece and that is what you will tell her if she asks." Jane says as we walk out of the room down the hall and back to where the group is.

"There we go much better I do appreciate the joke though my dear friends this is Andria Worthington from America I met her when she was a mere child and now she is here to visit me." Jane says as she lightly pushes me forward.

"Pleasure to meet you all." I say as I bow my head then see the only seat left is by the man who just saw me close to naked.

I walk over and sit down beside him. I should know how to act. I have seen all the Jane Austen movies and read the books. I still felt odd literally all eyes were on me.

"It is a pleasure to see you out of those wet clothes." her niece says to me. "You can call me Fanny if you wish. The man sitting beside you is Mr. Plumtree."

A part of me kept saying GET ME OUTTA HERE! I sat there as the people conversed. I mean it was only Fanny, myself Jane and Mr. Plumtree but still it felt odd. Finally we went to eat in the dinning room and I swear that man knew not when to shut up and eat. No matter how much Jane tried to get him to eat he kept going on and on. I couldn't help but giggle a little.

"Something humorous Miss Worthington?" he asks me in all seriousness.

"No of course not, seeing as you seem to have all the answers to any question I could possibly fathom." I tell him and see Jane give me a look. "Please forgive me I did not mean to interrupt your speech."

"Yes, shall we eat now?" Fanny asks as she started eating.

Finally after the food was ate people went about the house, Jane went to write of course. I wish I knew which of her novels she was writing judging by the timeline it must be "Emma". I went outside and we unfortunately followed by the love birds. I decided to go and sit over by a bridge so I would be sparred the lovey dovey things.

After just a few moments I heard someone start walking my way. It was still daylight out so I could tell it was Mr. Plumtree. Great he was all I needed. He walked pretty close until he noticed I was there and stopped. He bow slightly.

"May I join you?" he asks me.

"I suppose so." I tell him patting the ground on earth beside me.

He sat down and it seemed he had a lot on his mind and me being the very thoughtful person I am decided I could listen to it.

"Something bothering you Mr. Plumtree?" I ask him curious.

"Fanny, it seems she is quite taken with me and I with her at times but I don't know." he tries to explain to me.

"She is young and still quite fickle not to offend you or anything but she is still trying to understand her own feelings just as I am sure you are as well." I tell him as I place my hand on his for comfort.

He doesn't say anything but merely smiles at me. Ok that is a little more then a normal friendly smile He looks down at my hand and takes it in his. Oh great I forgot people don't comfort people that way here. Oh great now what am I going to do?

"You seem very kind Miss Worthington." he says as he kisses my hand.

"Thank you kindly Mr. Plumtree though I am afraid I must get going it seems the sun is about to set and I have some chores to finish." I tell him as I take my hand and start to stand up.

"May I see you tomorrow?" he asks me.

Really now he wants to be around me all because I touched hi hand?! Oh what do I say?

"Yes, I will see you tomorrow then." My lips reply before my brain can stop them.

I start to walk back to the house when I sense him walking behind me. I stop and turn around to look at him.

"I wanted to walk you back, I hope that is well by you?" he asks me.

Oh no have I created a love sick puppy? I simply turn and run into the house and quickly run to the sitting room where Jane is writing she looks up at me confused.

"We have a big problem." I tell her.

She stops writing and motions for me to sit down. I start to tell her what all has happened with the whole I touched his hand and now he won't go away thing.

"Oh my well you can't ignore him that is rude and improper. Fanny will be devastated." Jane says as Fanny walks in.

"I can't believe him! I thought he was going to propose." she says sobbing.

I fall backwards and faint. Great he was going to ask her to marry him and I ruined all of that.

I wake up to see Jane smiling at me.

"Am I dead?" I ask her.

"No you are among the living. do not worry Fanny has already set her sights away from Mr. Plumtree you are in the clear with him now." she tells me helping me sit up.

"How long was I out for?" I ask her

"Two days was how long you slept, scared poor Mr. Plumtree to death, he is out in the gardens now. I just now got him to leave you side." she tells me.

"I don't like him, he is stuck up and rude a real pain the butt if you ask me." I tell her as I look out the window. "I can't be whatever you call it with him."

"It is called courting, he would have to ask your father first." Jane says as we both look out the window. "That does not mean you cannot talk to him. Give him a chance this is a way to see how different men are here."
