Notes: I am back!

This is a crossover with the 'Sisterhood of the traveling pants' series, something I promised myself I would never watch. It happened and I had an idea to write with so here it is.

The overall plot is the same so it can be considered a spoiler for the books if you haven't read them. It starts out that way and I kept most of the character traits and roles but it will move differently as it progresses to become my work. Quatre centric!

I left the pairings missing because you will see as it progresses but if you look at my profile it might give you a hint! Also don't mind the spelling, my work as all un-beta'd and I have to do all the proofing myself and can miss my own mistakes.

POV – Quatre's

Chapter 1: The Pants

This story starts off with a pair of pants, yes just your regular old looking denim jeans. These were not just ordinary pants but a magical pair that transformed the summer of four friends lives forever. These four friends were as close as can be even though each was as different as night and day.

They all grew up pretty close to each other in the small town of Sanc, Pennsylvania (1). In fact they lived on the same block of each other and went to the same school, St. Gabriel Academy to be exact. They were even all born in the month of September, their mothers attending Lamaze classes together. The group knew of each other but it wasn't until middle school that they actually got close when they all joined the school's GLAD club that met everyday after school. No one could separate the group from that moment on.

The oldest of the group of friends was Wufei Chang, the strong one. He was the athletic of the group, strong minded, stubborn and reckless. Wufei lived with his grandfather, having moved out of his parent's house after his twin sister Meilan committed suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills. It was hard on him to stay at his old house as he had a hard time coping with the trauma of it all.

Wufei was the last to join the group only attending the GLAD club for the first time his freshman year. He isn't very open with his sexual orientation as this is all new to him and doesn't date that much, if at all. If anyone in the group is ever messed with he is the first to jump in and kick ass. His dominate Chinese traits make him stand out when he is practicing his martial arts with his long dark hair pulled back into a slick ponytail.

Next in line and the second oldest was Duo Maxwell the rebel. He is the foster child of two former radicals that just recently decided to start a family, leaving Duo with two real young foster sisters. Duo is interested in filmmaking and has a very cynical and sarcastic outlook on life even going so far as to give himself the nickname 'Shinigami' even though his friends refuse to call him by that.

Not a Goth by any means but Duo's wardrobe only consists of black tees with black jeans that match his painted nails. His hair is down to his butt but always worn in a braid with red and purple color streaked through it. Just recently he got a nose ring on the left side of his nostril to make a statement to society. Only he really knew what that meant as the others could only guess, he was hard to get at times.

Then there is me, Quatre Winner the artist. I am of Berber heritage the youngest and only son in my family of 29 sisters. It might seem like a lot but my father was a polygamist before he came over to the states to extend his growing empire. At one point in my life I had four mothers and I believe he still sends money over to support them, which is good. When your almost a billionaire you find it hard to even put a dent in ones wallet as the money never steps coming.

I am platinum blond and like to wear linen pants with soft cotton button down shirts, often in pastel colors. Of the group I am what you can say is the most flamboyant when it comes to my sexual orientation. Duo is my best friend as we were close to each other before joining the GLAD club, having been best friends since we were like eight. We are also the founders of the 'Brotherhood' a name we call our little group were we make rules to always let the others come first before you. Its childish but fun.

Last we have the baby of the group, and the only girl, Hilde Schbeiker. Well she isn't really like a girl as she is butch as lesbian's come, according to Duo, but we love her none the less. Next to Wufei she is the toughest of our foursome even manlier then me and Duo combined. Her dramatic and sensitive demeanor also comes with an explosive temper giving her a foreword attitude with others. She is what we like to think of as the heart of the group as well as our drama queen.

Hilde still has a feminine look even if her attitude says otherwise. Her hair is cut relatively short with long bangs in the front, the dark color made it shine an odd blue in the light. She always wears some sort of cap too that would match her outfit of a large baggy sweater and leggings. Her parents are divorced and she lives with her mother, rarely seeing or hearing from her father.

All and all the only thing we have in common was the fact that we were all gay. Now that you know our odd group of friends lets get back to the magical pants and how they changed our Junior year's summer.

It was the beginning of the summer and we were hanging out like usual at Hilde's place discussing our plans. This summer would be different since for the first time since we've known each other we would be spending the summer apart. Hilde was going to be away at her dad's in South Carolina for the first time in years, after talking her mom into it she agreed to let her go even if she was still weary about it.

Wufei the star player on St. Gabriel's soccer team was going to be at soccer camp somewhere in Baja California Mexico. It would be a good opportunity for him to get spotted by college scouts and maybe get a scholarship out of it all. I would also be out of the county visiting my Sister Iria in Santorini Greece. A town I have always wanted to see.

Duo was the only one staying here for the summer having no plans to leave. I wasn't sure if he held it in contempt that we would be leaving him but he brushed it off stating it would give him time to work on his documentary about losers or something. Still as Duo took note of Hilde's bag it became hard for him to hold it in.

"Jeez would you just close that suitcase?" Duo snipped at Hilde. "It's disgusting me."

Hilde looked back at her canvas bag laying across her bed, embarrassingly enough her underwear was hanging out showing its worse for wear elastic band. She never seen the point of throwing a ton of money into new underwear when her old ones still worked.

"It's disgusting you." I pointed out to Duo. "Imagine how I feel, I haven't even started packing yet and my flights like at six in the morning. I am disgusted as well."

In case you didn't know I am not very much a morning person?! I might be cute and lovable in the afternoon but just catch this blond when he is half awake then you will see the angry lion inside.

Hilde sighed before slamming the lid down and continued painting a new coat of black on Duo's toenails.

"Come on Quat, for the love of the god of death please don't say that word anymore." Duo whined as he laid back on Hilde's bed next to the bag careful not to move the foot she was working on. "It's making me sick!"

"Which word?" Asked Wufei from where he sat on the floor his face in a sports illustrated and showing little interest in the conversation. "Packing? Flight? Six in the morning?"

Duo was actually considering the Asian's words before responding, "All of them actually Wu-bear." He ignored the magazine that suddenly flew from Wufei's hand smacking him in the face as he used the dreaded nickname.

"Oh Duo grow up! Its only a few weeks, you will live." Hilde replied as she smacked Duo on the leg admiring her work as it dried.

Duo sat up and pushed Hilde back in retaliation. "Its okay for you because your going away to endless barbecues, fireworks, and backyard cookouts." Duo had odd views of how people in the southern states actually lived, but no one argued him on it.

I let out a little sigh in sympathy really feeling Duo's pain, it would be lonely for him being stuck here with nothing to do. Duo soon turned on me.

"I hear ya blondie and I don't need you to make noises of pity for me." I cleared my throat and lied, "I didn't Duo."

"Well then don't bitch." Wufei barged in the conversation as he now sitting in the circle the group was making and actually listening. "You are bitching."

"No!" Duo yelled back jumping on the bed with his hands up and forefingers making a cross as to ward off Wufei in his evil words. "No ranting today Wufei its not fair, I only let you rave when you need to feel better but you deserve to feel the guilt of ditching your true friend!"

Wufei scuffed. "I wasn't ranting I was telling you to stop bitching because I don't want to hear it." He crossed his arms defensively.

Hilde smirked at this. "Well Duo, maybe if you're a bit more nasty like Wufei here you won't miss us and we won't miss you." She ignored the glare thrown in her direction from Wufei himself.

Duo jumped up off the bed almost kicking me in the face as he rounded on Hilde. "I am no idiot and I won't fall for that reverse psychology crap your pushing in my face. Ha ha ha in yours!"

Hilde just rolled her eyes. "I wasn't actually trying that braid boy."

It got quiet then as we all sat in Duo's scolded silence until surprisingly Wufei broke it.

"So Maxwell what are we allowed to say?" he asked.

Duo thought about this as he paced around. "You can say…" he looked around the room for something, fake tears glittering in his eyes for show. "You could say something like…" His eyes gleamed as he found something. "Something like 'Hey Duo do you want these pants?" he finished as he snatched a pair off of the top or clothes on Hilde's dresser.

Hilde looked on in confusion as she capped the nail polish and stood up checking out the pair Duo had picked up. He usually only liked clothes that were black and weird things you'd find at a store like Hot Topic(2), but the pants he were holding were just a pair of normal denim jeans.

"You like those?" she asked looking at the creases it had from neglect as Duo nodded.

"Yep these beauts!" Hilde was still confused.

"You really want them?" She didn't mention that they were on top of the dresser because she was planning on throwing them out anyway as it came from the 'mom went shopping and thought these were cute' pile.

"Yep I sure do." Duo responded again in a way demanding a little display of unconditional love. He felt he was owed it as they were all flying off on big adventures and Duo was stuck here in Sanc. The only thing going for him was that tomorrow he would be launching his new career at Supermart for six cents over the minimum wage.

"Fine keep them." Hilde shrugged before sitting back on the edge of the bed.

Duo hugged the pants to himself slightly upset for getting his way so fast, he liked to argue.

I studied the stonewashed jeans before asking, "Are those the pants your mom got you from the secondhand place next to 'Yes!'?"

"Yes!" Hilde shouted back with a laugh.

Duo unfolded them and smiled. "They're great for secondhand."

Hilde noticed that the pants looked different now that Duo had them. Since somebody was actually caring about them it made it look nicer.

"Shouldn't you try them on first Duo?" I continued asking practically. "If they fit Hilde, they probably aren't going to fit you."

Hilde and Duo both glared at me not sure who should take more offense. I wasn't trying to be mean but they weren't even the same gender and that caused differences in the body.

"What?" Wufei said as the protectiveness he felt over me kicked in from their stares. "You guys have completely different body builds. Hopefully that is obvious to you too."

"Fine." Duo pouted as he got to be huffy again and secretly enjoying it.

Much to Wufei's disgust Duo pulled down his black cargo pants revealing his black silk boxers with skulls on it. "Maxwell for the love of Nataku!" Wufei protested shielding his eyes.

Duo ignored him as he slowly pulled the pants on for the sake of being dramatic. After he was zipped, and buttoned he jumped forward and threw open his arms. "Ta-da!" he yelled.

"Wow." Was the only thing I could say as I studied him.

"Maxwell, you actually look like a stud." Wufei even proclaimed as he checked his friend out.

Duo tried not to let the smile slip as he pranced to the mirror and did turns in circles in front of it. "You really think they're good? I usually don't wear chick jeans, you know not part of the emo scene. Then again they are the butches so they could have came from the men's department."

Hilde ignored that comment as she asked "Are those really my pants?"

Duo had narrow hips with skinny legs on his small frame and the pants fell below his waist, hugging his hips intimately. They revealed a white strip of flat stomach and his cute little belly button. As firm fitting they were they didn't fall on him like girls jeans just nice fitting.

"You look normal," Wufei added.

Duo didn't argue he knew that he appeared small and shapeless in his oversized pants and stuck out like a sore thumb. The pants bagged a little at his feet but that worked for Duo.

Suddenly Duo looked unsure. "I don't know, normal is not really my style. Maybe someone else should try them on?" Duo began to take them off.

"Duo your crazy," Hilde started. "Those pants are so for you they want your body and mind." She couldn't help but see the pants in a brand new light.

Duo throw the pants at me. "Here you go."

"Why? They are meant for you." I tried to argue.

Duo grinned. "Just try them."

"I'm not sure, you know I don't like denim." I said feigning disinterest.

Hilde watched me glancing at the pants with a certain amount of interest. "Why not? Quatre, try 'em."

I looked down at the pants warily before standing up and shedding my khakis pretending not the hear the giggles made when they caught sight of my blue cookie monster boyshort panties. It was no secret of my love for girls boyshort panties but I blushed none the less. I then went to the mirror to see after I had them on.

Wufei considered as Duo huffed. "Oh Quatre, you make me sick." He offered.

"Jesus Quatre!" Hilde said.

"They are nice pants," I said in a whisper.

(Change of POV: Hilde's)

They were used to Quatre, Hilde knew this but to the rest of the world he was stunning. His pale white skin matched with his soft blond hair, almost gold in the light, framed his round face. He had wide eyes the color of the sea not fully blue or green. Quatre's face was so lovely, so delicately structured, it kind of made Hilde sick.

Hilde was the girl here after all. She even once confessed to Duo that she was worried some talent scout would see Quatre and sweep him away to be a model or actor, taking him away from them. Duo admitted he worried the same thing. Quatre disregarded this saying they were thinking to highly of his looks and wouldn't hear any of it.

The pants clung to Quatre's waist and followed down the line of his hips. They held the shape of his thighs and even though they fell longer to his feet then Duo it looked really cut when he rolled them up into a cuff. As he moved forward, they appeared to hug each of his muscles as they shifted and moved. Hilde watched in wonder at how different they were from his bland uniform of Ralph Lauren khaki's he liked to wear.

(Change of POV: Back to Quatre)

"Very sexy," Wufei said to me.

I quickly snatched another peek at the mirror. Duo always made fun of the way I held myself saying it was awkward with my neck pushed forward and I noticed he was right and shifted a bit. "I think that maybe they are too tight." I confessed.

"Are you joking, Q?" Duo laughed. "They are beautiful on you, looking a million times better then those lame-o pants you usually wear."

I turned to Duo and crossed my arms feeling saucy. "Was there a compliment somewhere in that?"

"Seriously, you have to take them," Duo continued. "They are like…transforming."

I fiddled with the waistband of the pants a bit not at all comfortable. I didn't like it when people talked about the way I looked as I thought I was too skinny, too pale and too awkward and girly in my overall appearance.

"You are always beautiful," Hilde added to Duo's banter. "But Duo is right…you look completely different. Hot!"

I quickly slipped the pants off. "Wufei has to try them now."

"I do?" he asked raising an eyebrow.

"You do," I confirmed.

"Wu-man is too freakishly tall for them," Duo said trying to do an impersonation of what looked to be a giant walking on stilts.

"Just try," I asked with a pout.

"I don't need more jeans," Wufei said. "I have dozens at home."

"What, are you scared of them?" Hilde teased. Stupid dares always worked on Wufei.

Wufei snatched the pants from Quatre taking off his own pair of dark wash jeans and kicking them into a pile on the floor. He ignored Duo's jokes about his white briefs as he pulled the pants up. Wufei at first tried to pull that pants way up on his waist so they would be too short like everyone thought but as soon as he let go they settled nicely on his hips. Only falling on the tops of his feet.

"Oh freaky." Duo sang in a ghostly voice.

Wufei turned to look at his backside. "What?!" he asked.

"They're not short, they're perfect." I said in awe.

Duo cocked his head as he studied Wufei circling him like a predator. "You look almost…small, Wu. Not like your usual freakazoid tall."

"The insult King just keeps on gracing." I said with a laugh.

Wufei was tall, well taller then us, with wide shoulders, long legs, and long arms. He was amazingly narrow even with his slight athletic build.

"He is right though," Hilde said thoughtfully. "They do fit better then your usual pairs."

Wufei checked once more in the mirror and gave a 'hmph', he wouldn't admit that he actually liked them but you could tell the way he eyed himself in the pants that he loved them.

"You've got a nice little butt, you should show it off more, get the boys interested." Duo gave with a suggestive grin. "Hey!" He yelled suddenly as an idea hit him.

"You know how we find out if these pants are truly magic?" he asked.

"How?" Hilde asked warily.

Duo pointed Hilde in the chest with his finger. "You try them on now. I know they belong to you but I am just saying it is impossible for the pants to fit you too."

Hilde bit the inside of her lip. "Are you making fun of my curves and possibly my bubble butt?"

"Come on Hilde you know I envy that bubble butt of yours I would love for some hottie to bend me over and spank it." Duo cheesed as Wufei snorted in disgust.

"Anyway's I just don't think these pants are going to fit over it, I mean it hugged all our asses and we are flat as a board." Duo explained reasonably while Wufei and I nodded in agreement.

Hilde wondered if the jeans would even fit over her thighs if they did hug her friends bodies. She wasn't in anyway chubby but she had the curves of a woman and an ass unlike her friends that were straight and narrow. They weren't nicely shaped like she was and didn't want to stand out if the jeans, which were probably girls, fit them and not her.

"It's alright I didn't want them or else I would have kept them." Hilde said thinking about what to change the subject too but her eyes never left the pants, neither did three other pairs.

"Yes you have too, I had to face the humiliation so now you do too." Wufei said.

"Please Hilde?" I begged.

Not being able to take the anticipation she saw on her friends face Hilde consented. "Fine then but don't expect them to fit or anything. I know they won't."

"They were your pants Hilde in the first place." Wufei was always one to point out the obvious.

"Yeah smart ass but I never actually tried them before." Hide snapped back in a defensive tone trying to stop any further questions. Angrily Hilde stripped off the black legging and pulled the jeans up over her bikini cut orange panties. They didn't stop at her thighs, or her butt. The pants went up without a complaint. Hilde was surprised when she was able to fasten them. "So?" She questioned the group nervous to take the trip to the mirror just yet.

Nobody spoke, or even moved in that matter.

"What?" Hilde asked as she peeled open her eyes that she didn't realized she had shut. "Are they bad? Do I look squeezed in?" Hilde meet Duo's eyes. "What come on tell me already?"

"Well…I…I just…" Duo sputtered.

"Oh my," was the only words that trailed off my lips as I studied her.

Hilde sighed and turned away from us. "I'll take them off and we can just erase that image from all our heads." She said face burning.

Wufei found the words that everyone was too stunned to say and stopped her. "Hilde its not that. I mean look in the mirror, you look great. Almost like a vogue super model or something."

Wufei waved whatever it was Duo wanted to say to him off. It probably went something about him knowing what a vogue model looked like anyway.

Hilde rolled her eyes and put her arms across her chest. "I seriously doubt that."

"Look at yourself then." I quickly covered. "Those pants are magic!"

Hilde causally ventured towards the mirror checking herself out from far away, then up close. She looked from her front as well as her back.

It was quiet in the room as no one spoke and even though someone's cell was ringing it sounded distant and far off, no one made a move to answer it. Probably didn't notice it as we all sat staring at Hilde waiting for someone to break the silence.

Finally Hilde let out a whispered breath. "These are a pair of magic pants."

Excitement filled the air as we made our way to our sanctuary. A little place we found at the beginning of our freshman year when we wanted to hold emergency meetings without interruptions and the school wouldn't let us stay past five. Emergency's such as problems with boys/girls, when we were mad at a family member, or even a bad pimple.

We found a place that meant something to each of us and held some of our most treasured memories. That's why we were sneaking into Howard's through a window in the back that had a broken latch. Howard's was like your local Y or something that housed some of your extracurricular classes for kids. We had each attended for something at one point of our life. Wufei of course for martial arts, Duo went for the swimming, and surprisingly Hilde for ballet, I know creepy! She always claimed she wanted to be in kickboxing but her mother wouldn't let up.

I went for violin lessons but after my dad realized my gift in music he pulled me from the class and paid for some more elite private tutoring. I throw a fit because I missed my friends and was later brought back where I signed up for fencing instead. My dad refused to let be go back to violin classes in fear it would hold me back and he was already paying almost a grand a week for Instructor H's lessons, a fat man with receding hairline and a thin, dark mustache and a very talented musician.

In we went one by one through the window and down the halls to the makeshift cafeteria it housed. Howard was closed by now, all classes were over by 2:00 and bingo night was Sunday the only night it was open late. Hilde shifted the bag on her shoulders before setting it down with the pants next to it, all of our supplies were kept in that knitted bag and I opened it digging out the candles and setting them around the jeans in a circle.

Wufei having taken the lighter out of Duo's hands, then proceeded to light them. "You guys ready?" he asked.

"I think so," Hilde put in as she set out the snacks and turned on the stereo her Ipod was sitting in. A Lily Allen song began to play softly. Wufei grimaced as well as Duo, they hated the music me and Hilde found enjoyable. "It's pants time."

The ritual began to ensure us a good summer as Hilde unfolded the pants and laid them on the ground in between the candles. I was sitting to her right, with Wufei on mine, Duo on his, and back to Hilde who was on Duo's. I pulled out the parchment of paper I had brought along and handed it to Wufei as he took his quill pen and dipped into the ink bottle Duo held.

"Alright I will start this," Hilde said sitting comfortably in their circle. "We gather here today the first day as well as our last day together for the summer. To make sure we keep in touch with our fellow brothers this summer we hereby decide to share the Pants by trading them off every week of the summer."

"Going by the straws we drew earlier it will go Quatre first, Duo second, me Hilde third, and finally Wufei last. Then we will go back in that order and to be fair Wufei will get them for two weeks before sending them back to me, Duo and lastly Quatre who will bring them back. We will draw strength in these pants that makes all of us look so damn hot."

We each laughed before Hilde continued.

"We, the Brotherhood will hereby instate the following ten rules to govern the use of these soon to be Traveling Pants." Hilde stopped and looked to me as I would govern the first rule.

"One, you must never wash the Pants." I grinned and looked to Wufei.

"Two, you must never double cuff the Pants, because it is tacky. There will never be a time when this is not tacky. If you are short, like Quatre, you may cuff it once and as big as you need it." He nodded showing the rare side of his fashion sense.

"My turn!" Duo chirped and thought hard. "Three, you must never say the word 'phat' while wearing the Pants. You must also never think that you are fat while wearing the Pants."

Hilde gave a wicked grin. "Four, you must never let a boy, or in my case a girl, take off the Pants. You may take them off yourself in their presence though."

"Hilde!" I said in shock. "Lets see….five. You must not pick your nose while wearing the Pants. You may scratch the surface or rub." I know it was stupid but I ran out of things to say.

"Six," Wufei cut in concealing the laugh at my suggestion as he finished writing down my rule on the paper. "Upon our reunion will follow these set procedures for documenting our time in the Pants." Wufei jotted a bit before continuing. We usually picked him to record our sessions as he was the fastest writer with the most legible handwriting.

"On the left leg of the Pants you will write the most exciting place you have been while wearing them and on the right, the most important thing that has happened to you while wearing the Pants. For example Duo actually having a brilliant idea that worked while wearing the Traveling Pants."

Duo stuck his tongue out at Wufei before adding in his dramatic voice from earlier. "Seven, you must write to your brothers throughout the summer, no matter how much fun you are having without them."

"For the last time you will be fine Duo." I put in my two cents as he still pouted.

"Anyway's eight, you will pass the Pants along to your brothers according to the specifications set by the Brotherhood earlier. Failure to comply will result in a severe spanking upon our reunion." Hilde put in seriously.

Duo hooted! "Don't make it sound so promising Hilde that I want to get punished."

"DUO!" I yelled as embarrassment sunk in and Wufei jumped in to cover for me, or so I thought.

"Nine," he started as he eyed me. "You must not wear the Pants with a tucked in shirt and belt, see rule two." Of course out of the group I was the only one with a tucked in shirt and belt so it was obvious that was directed at me. My fluster didn't subside as I looked down.

"I will finish this up now." Duo said as me made to hold hands, we each complied.

"Finally ten, always remember that Pants equal love. Love your pals and love yourself."

We all nodded in agreement and recited our pre written lines before we helped ourselves to the snacks laid out.

"To honor the Pants and the Brotherhood

And this moment and this summer and the rest of our lives

Together and apart."

I had no idea where this summer was going to lead us and how that would result, I don't think any of us did. After this we would only have one more summer before we all went away to college.

It was something we all feared, saying goodbye to one another, my heart just clenched thinking about it. It was only about nine weeks I mean how much can happen in such short time. Well a lot can and it will be the lest expected but possibly to most important event in your life, changing you forever in both bad and good ways.
