Disclaimer: I do not own Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants or any of its characters. Most of the main characters are mine, however and come from my first story.
Author's Note: Okay, so here is my sequel to my Sisterhood: The Second Generation story. I had some good ideas for a sequel, so I decided to go ahead and start it.
"If I have been of service, if I have glimpsed more of the nature and essence of ultimate good, if I am inspired to reach wider horizons of thought and action, if I am at peace with myself, it has been a successful day."

Prologue
The pants that our mothers had cherished as teenagers and as adults had been passed onto us last summer. At the beginning, none of us understood the significance of these jeans that had been taken care of with so much love and care by our moms. However, after our first summer with the pants as our guidance, helping forge bonds of friendships that had never been there before, we all understood the exact significance of these pants. And now, at the beginning of the second summer we were ready to use the pants and have a great summer.
The four of us had been born in June, while our mothers had been born in September. This seemed to fit into our mother's perfect image of how we should be friends.
The first born was Bridget's daughter, Lainey. Lainey had her mother's energy, looks, personality, and soccer skills. The phrase about the apple not falling far from the tree really seems to be true with Lainey. She had changed last summer from a girl who was only thinking about the past, to a girl who was amazed by the future. She is fun, and her first friend of the new Sisterhood was Bailey, they formed a friendship bond last summer.
Next born was Bailey, Tibby's daughter. Before last summer I would have described her as someone who was intelligent and much like her father was as a younger teenager. But, she really grew last summer and while still being very intelligent she had grown to be an independent, friendly girl. She still looked much like her father, but she had completely developed a personality all her own.
Then, there was me, Sarah, Lena's daughter. I had the looks of my mother, down to my enormous feet, and the personality of my aunt. I do love to talk and when given the opportunity will do so. I had actually changed a lot since last summer too, however, because I am not quite outspoken as I have been in the past.
The last girl is Carmen's daughter, Vanessa, and my good friend in the Sisterhood. The one thing that sets Vanessa apart from the rest of us is the fact that she is actually adopted and not really Carmen's daughter. So, naturally, she has her own hair color, a dark brown, and eye color, blue, and even had differing personality of both her parents. She is kind of stable and efficient would be the best way to describe her.
This summer was going to be the second summer with the traveling pants. We knew that it would contain love, tears, and hopefully make the summer a generally good high school summer experience.
