Diclaimer: I don't own anything related to the book.
Intro: I've always wondered what it would be like if Leah became Amish. I don't know if this is possible, but in my mind it is.
Chapter 1: The Idea
****
Leah stopped at the park to eat her lunch. While the little girl talked to her, she got an idea. 'What if I converted to Amish?' She thought. She gathered her food and jumped in her car.
When she got to the Longacre farm. She ran up to the door and knocked politly on it. "Hello?" Ethan answered and "Leah, what are you doing here? I thought you would be on your way home."
"Ethan, I need to talk to you." She said.
"Let's go to the barn." He said. They walked to the barn and Ethan made sure nobody was there. "So what is it you want to talk about?" He asked.
"I was thinking. Since you don't want to give up your Amish ways, why didn't I give up my English ways. Become an Amish person?" Leah said.
"I do not know if that ever happened. I shall find out." Ethan said and "But why do you want to do this?
"I love you too much Ethan. I want to be with you forever." She said. Ethan hugged her. "So what do you want me to do?" She asked.
"Go home. I will send a letter." He said.
"Okay." She said and "Bye Ethan and thank you."
"You are welcome Leah. Now you must go. Bye." He said. He watched Leah walk to her car and then went inside the house.

Leah got home that night. Her mother was asleep on the couch. Leah went over and covered her up. "Leah?" Her mother asked.
"Yes mom?" Leah replied.
"What took you so long?" She asked sitting up.
"Me and Ethan talked for a while and then I went to get something to eat. Can we talk in the morning, I'm very tired?" Leah asked. Her mother nodded and Leah went to her room. As soon as her head touched the pillow, she was asleep.
****
"What would make you think of such a thing?" He mother asked. Leah had told her mother her idea and she did't like it.
"Mom, I will do anything to be with Ethan. If it means changing my ways to his, I will do it." Leah said.
"What about your cancer?" Her mother asked.
"So far I'm still in remission." Leah said.
"What if it comes back?" Her mother asked.
"I'll figure it out. Mom, I want to take a shower and go to the library." She said.
****
A week later. Leah waited for the mailman. She was expected a letter from Ethan anyday. She saw the mail truck. As soon as the mailman put the mail in the box, Leah ran outside and opened the box.
"Expecting something?" The guy asked.
"Yes, a letter from a guy." She said pulling out the mail. There was a letter from Ethan. "Yeah!" She said jumping up and down. She quickly opened it.
Dearest Leah
I have talked your idea over with my father. At first he was confused, but when I explained the whole thing, he said he would ask the elders at the next community meeting. I realize that this is not a spur of the moment thing or just a crazy idea from me leaving you. I was promised to Martha, but if you do become a Amish lady. I will be your's.
Always your's
Ethan

P.S. What da ya Think? I know it's short but it's a start.
