The next day Lizzie watched Jane leave with tears in her eyes, she would miss Jane like crazy, they had never been apart for so long it was killing Lizzie, first Darcy and Georgiana, now Jane it seemed like everyone one she knew and loved was discovering before her very eyes.

After watching Jane's car until it disappeared in the distance, Lizzie decided to call a friend she hadn't spoke to in a very long time.

"Uh….is Lindy, there?" Lizzie asked calling a girl she hadn't seen since she had started high school.

"This is she."

"Oh-Lindy it's Lizzie." she said excitedly.

"Lizzie! Long time no see whatcha been up to?" Lindy asked excited to here from her friend.

"A lot…Hey can you meet me at the church?" Lizzie asked quietly.

"Yeah, in thirty minuets?"

"Sounds great." Lizzie said happily.

As she hurried to change out of her pajamas and into some normal clothes, Lizzie began to think about her friend, she hadn't seen her since before school started, because Lindy was a grade behind Lizzie and therefore in middle school.

During the past year she and Lindy had gotten close real close they told each other everything, then they slowly drifted apart neither was to blame it was just one of those things that happens.

----------------------------------

Lizzie hurried to the Sunday school room, she hadn't been here since that night with Darcy, and it almost made Lizzie start tearing up.

When she walked in there was Lindy, sitting on the floor Indian style.

Lindy was a short and athletically built like Lizzie, she had long pale blonde hair and green eyes, also she had very pale skin too, and altogether she was really pretty.

"Hey." she said with a grin.

"Hi."

"So what's up with your life?" Lindy asked.

Lizzie sat down with a sigh and began to tell her the whole story, beginning with when she met Darcy.

--------------------

"Whoa." Lindy said after Lizzie had finished.

"Yeah I know." Lizzie said rubbing the back of her head with a sheepish grin. "Hey do you want to go get a bite to eat I'm starving."

Lindy shrugged. "Sure."

As they walked into the restaurant, Lizzie saw Jolene, ever since the Christmas party Jolene tried making Lizzie's life a living heck, Lizzie has just shrugged it off.

"Oh-hi Elizabeth." Jolene said snottily.

"Oh-my gosh Jolene your snob is showing." Lizzie said sarcastically.

"Well I guess you won't get to hear the wonderful news."

"Queen Jolene please give me the wonderful news, you're moving to Mars perhaps?" Lizzie said enjoying annoying Jolene.

She just rolled her eyes and continued with her story. "Anyway I'm going to see Catherine De Burg." Jolene stated as if Lizzie was supposed to be in awe.

"And how does this affect me?" Lizzie asked confused, the name Catherine De Burg sounded familiar, but Lizzie wasn't sure where she had heard it.

"Because, she is a Duchess, and by the way she is Will's Aunt, also Will's going to be there same time as me." Jolene said snootily.

"And I suppose, your expecting Will to fall over you and your going to hookup or some such thing. Correct?" Lizzie asked trying to hide her feelings at the mention of Will Darcy.

Jolene just rolled her eyes and stomped off.

"Nice girl." Lindy commented sarcastically.

Lizzie laughed and grabbed Lindy by the arm to find a booth.

----------------------------------

That night Lizzie asked Lindy to spend the night, and she agreed. Lindy and Lizzie had just popped in a DVD when Lizzie's cell phone went off.

"Hello?" Lizzie asked.

"Lizzie it's your granny."

"Granny!" Lizzie shouted happily.

"Yeah, honey I was wondering if you would like to come visit Europe with me this summer?"

"Yes of course." Lizzie said excitedly.

"Okay, yes and you can bring a friend." her Granma said laughingly.

"Thank you." Lizzie said she knew who exactly she would bring.

"Now please put your father on the phone so I can tell him all the details."

Lizzie called her father into the living room. "It's granny."

Lizzie did not wait around to listen to what her father would say; she had to ask Lindy if she wanted to come with them.

"Lindy!" Lizzie called excitedly.

"What?" she asked through a mouth full of popcorn.

"Whaddya think about going to Europe with me?" Lizzie asked happily.

Lindy jumped up and grabbed Lizzie by the shoulders. "Are you serious?"

"Duh." Lizzie said grinning like an idiot.

"Yeah I want to go, but you'll have to convince my parents." Lindy said her excitement quickly fading.

"Ah, don't worry I'll have my Dad talk to them." Lizzie said with a wave of her hand.

Lindy nodded. Then Mr. Bennet came in. "Well Lizzie it looks like your going to Europe." he said handing Lizzie her cell phone.

"Great. Uh Dad when do we leave?"

"In a week."

"And Dad?"

"Yeah?"

"Can you talk to Lindy's parents about her going with us?"

"Sure honey I'll talk to them now."

Needless to say both Lindy and Lizzie were hanging on to him like leeches trying to hear both sides of the conversation.

"Unh." Mr. Bennet said with a nod of his head.

"Of course, and yes they'll be well chaperoned."

"Unh. Okay I'll tell her."

Mr. Bennet turned to the girls' eager faces with a solemn expression. "Lindy your parents said they would be happy for you to go." he said his face breaking into a huge smile.

"Yay!" Lizzie and Lindy screamed at the same time then they grabbed each other by the shoulders and started to dance.

That night neither girl a wink of sleep.

Okay sorry for the long delay, writers block and the holidays equals trouble, but it's all over so tell me what you think about Lindy, and I swear Darcy will be in the next chapter.
