Ok, so I didn't get any reviews for my prologue and that really concerns me. Is this story worth really writing? I really need reviews to know. If you don't like the idea I would understand. Anyway, if I continue to get no response then I'm going to stop this story, which is a shame, but necessary. Anyway, hope this chapter will get a better response then the prologue…now the first chapter.
Chapter 1
Their fate was sealed. In a few days they would be separated from each other. To pass the time the four friends decided to spend their last moments together shopping. They had already gone to the mall, and that didn't really excite them. It was Carrie who suggested that they should go look for garage sales.
"Carrie, come on. Why would anyone go to a garage sale? There's nothing but used games without the playing pieces and dirty old clothes!" Alexis exclaimed in a disgusted tone.
"Well, do you have any other suggestion at what to do?" Carrie replied.
Alexis sighed, "Oh, all right. I guess it wouldn't hurt. Besides it isn't going to be long before we're separated. I guess we could. No harm done." with that Alexis smiled.
"That's the spirit!" Vanessa commented with glee.
With that the four girls got into the car and drove around subdivisions hoping to spot some signs. They did, but the garage sales they went do had nothing but pure junk. It's no wonder they wanted to get rid of it. All were getting really tired, and decided they would make just one more stop.
"Are you sure that there will be no more after this? I'll be late for my piano lesson." Helen said from the back of the car. She was an avid player and practiced nearly two hours a day, no matter what. She wasn't just dedicated though; she was talented too. All her friends said so.
"Trust me, it is." Vanessa replied. "I'm just hoping that this place has something worthwhile."
"I agree. There was absolutely nothing at the last house." Alexis added.
"Well, you never know just what you will find." Carrie said.
All the girls laughed. "Yes, like a broken lantern…that will go real well in decorating my room." Helen responded.
Carrie had to agree that they didn't have much luck, and laughed along. Usually they would have bought something by now after all the hours of shopping, but as she looked around at her friends, they were all empty-handed and not one person had made any sort of purchase.
The home came into view and they parked it on the curb. Getting out they went to scan the items for sale. Vanessa went straight to the clothes. After searching for a few minuets Vanessa decided to buy a few clothes, and paid for it.
Helen was the last one to stop looking around and it was when she got near the counter that Helen spotted a pair of jeans loosely hanging on a metal bar. They appealed to her and she asked to see them.
"You want to see that old pair of jeans?" the lady asked
"Yes." Helen responded. The woman retrieved the jeans and handed them to Helen who took them and looking at it took a peek at the size. There was no label so she had no idea. She then placed the pants over her legs.
"How much is it?" she asked looking up.
"I'll take five dollars for it. To tell you the truth, I don't care much for the jeans. I bought them at a store without trying them on, and well, they were too small…they just might fit you though."
Helen nodded her head and gave the lady the dollar she requested. With that everyone assembled in the car and they were all dropped of by Vanessa.
It was now a few days later and Helen was the first to actually start packing. She would be leaving in the morning on a plane to Korea to meet her relatives.
"I just can't believe that you're going to leave tomorrow. It just seems so soon." Alexis commented. Everyone's head nodded in agreement.
"I know. I'll be sure you write you though…hey, Vanessa, can you hand me those pants?" she asked pointing to the jeans she had recently purchased sitting on her dresser.
Vanessa did and studied it as she brought it over. These are actually a good pair of pants. Mind if I just try them on?"
Helen just shook her head, "No go ahead."
The pants slipped beautifully over her peach skin and hugged every curve of her leg. It was a perfect fit.
"It's gorgeous on you!" Carrie exclaimed in awe.
"It's stunning." Helen added.
"Check yourself out." Alexis declared pointing to the mirror.
Vanessa smiled and examined herself. She had rich dark brown hair that was staight and flowing with captivating jade green eyes. "They do look good on me." She took it off and handed it to Helen. "You try it on."
Helen just shook her head. "They belong to you, now."
"Ok, then why don't you try it on, Carrie."
Carrie reluctantly agreed. She was the shortest of the group and she was sure that the legs of the pants would cover her feet and fall to the floor. When she slid them on though, they were the perfect size. Not only that it gave her shapeless body a shape and a but. Everyone approved.
"Wow, those pants make you look like you have a movie star's body." Vanessa declared.
"They look great." Alexis responded.
"Really they do." Helen added.
Carrie had to agree they did look really good on her. She studied herself for a few more minutes. Carrie had wavy light brown hair and deep thoughtful brown eyes. When she was done looking she took them off.
"Well, Vanessa and me have already tried it on. Your turn Alexis."
Alexis took the pants and despite her big hips that were her essential feature and her bigger thighs, they seemed to be made for her as well.
"How can it be possible?" she asked as she studied herself. She had curly auburn hair and bright green eyes.
"It's like magic." Vanessa added."
"Well, Helen, why don't you try them on now. We all have so you might as well."
Helen did try it on and it fit her perfectly as well. She was tiny and small framed but despite fitting the bigger Alexis, they seemed to be the perfect pair of jeans for her. She of course was Asian and looked it too, with sleek black hair that looked blue in the right light, and had brown, almost black almond eyes.
"This is weird." Helen stated with awe in her voice.
Everyone else agreed. There was nothing to explain this phenomenon, and they all found it amazing that these pants came to them on the eve of separation. Motivated to keep their friendship alive while they were apart they decided then and there to form a sisterhood…a sisterhood of traveling pants. The brought snacks up to Helen's room and lighted candles. Then as they sat around in the circle they formed the sisterhood rules…
1.) You must never wash the pants.
They had a little trouble accepting this but they decided that it was better to preserve the magic.
2.) You must never double-cuff the pants. It's tacky. There will never be at time when this will no be tacky.
3.) You must never say the word "phat" while wearing the Pants. You must also never think "I am fat" while wearing the Pants
4.) You must never let a boy take of the pants
5.) You must not pick your nose while wearing the Pants
6.) Upon our reunion you must follow the proper procedures for documenting your time in the Pants.
7.) You must write to your sister throughout the summer; no matter how much fun you are having without them.
8.) You must pass the pants along to you sisters according to the specification set down by the sisterhood. Failure to comply will result in severe spanking upon our reunion.
9.) You must not wear the Pants with a tucked-in shirt and belt. See rule #2
10.) Remember: Pants love. Lover your pals. Love yourself.
They decided that Helen should get it first for two reason, one, because she found the pants, and two because she was going the farthest away. Next was Alexis, then Vanessa, and then last was Carrie.
They stayed up all night talking and when morning came they all bid their friend, Helen, good-bye.
What do you think? I hope that you liked it. I'm begging you now…PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!
