Hello again everyone. Please read, enjoy, and review. Compliment and Criticism welcome…This is my take on what happens to Kitty when the story ends. It coincides in the same time frame as my other major fanfic 'THE DARCY PRIDE'…

Kitty was sat at a small circular table in the Longbourn Parlour. She was quite bereft of anything to occupy her now that three of her sister's were married and settled. Mr Bennet was closed up in his library as ever, Mrs Bennet was out visiting Mrs Long and Mary was reading her beloved Fordyce's Sermons. So unfortunately Kitty had a whole morning to herself and not even plain Maria Lucas to take her mind off boredom! Her long fingers were drumming on the table when the door opened. Kitty's eyes shot up. The head of her father peered around the door frame, and when he saw his daughter he stepped in the room.

"Ah there you are Kitty my dear, there's a letter here for you." he held out his hand containing a neatly folded letter with gold calligraphy on the top right corner. Kitty eagerly got up and hurried over to her father and gratefully took the letter.

"Thank you Papa." her hand rested on his arm. Mr Bennet smiled quirkily.

"There there, you're a good girl. And I dare say quite improved in sense since your sisters went away." he kissed Kitty's forehead before chuckling and going back to his library retreat. Kitty went back to the table and sat down and picked up a book to hide the letter in later. Before she had time to even look at the letter. The door was flung open again and Mrs Bennet came bounding in along with Mrs Long and Aunt Phillips. Kitty shot to her feet book in hand. All three of them sat on the setee in a fit of giggles. Mrs Bennet then stopped laughing and looked at Kitty.

"Lord! What on earth has possessed you child! On a day like this I should be ashamed to be sat indoors! Why are you not attending on your sister Mrs Bingley or at the drapers buying fashinable clothes. You'll never get a husband like Mr Bingley or Mr Darcy, or even our own dear Wickham looking like that!" The last comment stung at Kitty's heart. She looked down at her muslin dress. Mrs Long was looking down her crooked nose at the young girl. Mrs Phillips examined the pattern on the sleeves keenly before remarking.

"I must say I agree sister. Surely dear Mrs Darcy, Mrs Bingley and Mrs Wickham never were seen out in such a thing." Kitty picked up the letter slowly and tried to hide it behind her book.

"Are you turning into Mary girl! What is in your head. You even have a book in your-" Mrs Bennet's keen eyes settled on the partially hidden letter. "Ahhh, well what's this Kitty?" she shrieked in her usual manner. She almost ran over to her daughter and snatched the letter from Kitty's grasp, creasing it as she did so. Kitty was powerless to stop it. Mrs Bennet then sat down again, flanked on either side by the other two women. Unable to recognise the seal on the back she tore open the letter. Kitty in despair sat down on a wooden chair and looked behind her to the other side of the room where the largely unnoticed Mary had gotten to her feet and was coming to sit next to her. Face blank as ever.

Mrs Bennet then squealed with delight when she saw it was from Pemberley.

"Read it out loud Fanny!" Mrs Phillips said as she clung to her sister's arm. Mrs Bennet was overcome with joy.

"To my dearest Kitty...blah blah blah blah... I have been showered with gifts by my dear Darcy. My new family are more delightful than I could anticipate...The extensive grounds are charming, and neighbours most courtious...Colonel Fitzwilliam very attentitive..." she squealed again, "Oh my dear sister, it would delight me above all things if you could persuade Papa to consent to having you live with us for a while!...There now!...I would also request that we can present you at court along with Miss Georgiana Darcy!" Mrs Bennet then got up, then sat down, and got up again. "Oh my word!" Mrs Phillips and Mrs Long stared at Mrs Bennet pleading with her to continue "...Darcy has also suggested that if it agreeable to you then perhaps a small dowry is in order..." Mrs Phillips gasped. "..I am only sorry to say that Mama and Mary will be unable to accompany you..."

"Well that is a dissapointment!" Mrs Long commented sarcasticly.

"...blah, blah, blah...She then goes on to say how eager she is to see you. Also Jane and Bingley are to accompany you...Something about Darcy's uncle...an Earl!" Mrs Bennet grinned." O dear, you cannot stay more than a two month complete for the Darcy's are going away." Mrs Bennet sighed "Well you must go and make the most of it I dare say... she does go on to say how she will provide an adequate wardrobe for you which is pleasing. She ends with...You loving and affectionate sister, Your etc...Very elegant hand. Kitty just sat there looking at Mary who just shrugged. "Well say something girl!" Kitty stood up.

"I... er... I'm afraid you'll have to excuse me, Mama, Aunt Phillips, Mrs Long...Mary. I- I need a walk. I'm sure the fresh air will do me good! As you so kindly put it earliermother." Kitty curtsied and put her hand out to receive the letter from her mother, very much in a manner similar to her sister Elizabeth's bold ways.

"But there is so much do be done Kitty!" Mrs Bennet shreaked. She pushed the letter into Kitty's hand and started flapping about before shouting Hill and ordering her about in a flustered manner. Kitty exited the room hastily and grabbed her bonnet, spencer jacket and gloves before rushing out the front door and started int he direction of the woods, which had always been her sister Elizabeth's favourite. As she did so a mixture of snow and gravel crunched beneath her shoes. She'd forgotten her walking boots so she headed back to the house, as she approached the fron door she heard Mrs Bennet hammering on Mr Bennet's library door rattling on about something and nothing so Kitty made for the garden path, peering in the library window as she went. She saw Mr Bennet, sat in his powerdering gown with a glass of port in his hand. He smiled at her. Kitty shook her head, sighed and continued along the way...

Wells that's another first chapter out the way. This might be a one off. Should I continue? Leave a review and tell me:D:D PS. Please visit my wesite : http/mrslizzydarcy. And sign the guestbook there!
