Tibby awoke on Saturday morning to find a package sitting on her desk. She picked the note up that was on top of it and started to read it.

Tibby,

I know that I'm not supposed to pass the pants on to you, until next week, but I've already used them…and believe me…they worked. I wanted to go ahead and give them to you. Have fun with them. You still only keep them for two weeks though…same rules apply. Love ya babe.

Carmen

Tibby smiled. She knew why Carmen had sent the pants. Tibby had told her that she had a date with Brian tonight. She took off her pajamas and slipped on the pants, running her fingers over the memories. There was a knock at her bedroom door. "Hold on!" Tibby yelled. She hurriedly grabbed the black halter top that was sitting on her bed, and pulled it down over her head. "Ok…you can come in." Erin came walking in holding her doll. "Those are ugly pants Tibby. I think you should change." Tibby laughed at her little cousin. "You just can't see the beauty. And I'm going to be wearing these today. Where's Ethan? We've got to plan on where we are going." Erin hopped onto Tibby's bed and began to jump. "He's eating breakfast." "Well, can you go get him for me?" Tibby asked politely as possible. Erin continued to jump. Tibby grabbed Erin and threw the girl over her own shoulder. Erin kicked and screamed all the way down the stairs. "You will get your brother for me, while I am upstairs getting ready." Erin crossed her arms and stomped her foot. "I hate you…you are stupid." Laughing, Tibby ruffled the little girl's hair. "I love you too…now do what I said."

Bridget had spoken with her dad, and gotten the needed money. She was now at home packing her bags. Perry brought up the mail. She sifted through hers and found letters from Billy, Lena, and her grandmother. She put them all in her carryon bag, so that she could read them on the plane. She wasn't leaving for New York until the next morning, so she decided to email Diana once again. But when she signed onto the internet, Bridget noticed that Diana was on her screen name.

BeeVreeland789: Hey

Soccergirl: Hey sweetie

BeeVreeland789: I'm heading off tomorrow morning…any last words of advice?

Soccergirl: Be yourself…don't pretend that you've changed

BeeVreeland789: But I have Diana…just wait until next week!

Soccergirl: Can't wait to see you! I've got to go though…Marshall is over…

BeeVreeland789: I know how that goes. Love ya.

Soccergirl: Muah.

Bridget signed off and turned off the computer. Her phone rang. It was Eric. "Hey Eric. Can I help you?" "No. I was just calling to say hello…and to fill you in on a few things." Bridget got up from her desk chair and sat down on her bed. "Ok. Shoot." "I'll pick you up tomorrow afternoon from the airport. And then we have to run by the college. They are having a camp of some sort…need my help with something or other. And then we are heading back to my place." "Ok…sounds like a plan." Bridget laughed. They talked for a few more minutes and then said goodbye. She looked at the suitcase she had packed. It was a mess. She picked it up and dumped it on the floor. A lot of things needed to be refolded in the first place. She had to keep telling herself not to be nervous.

Lena checked the mail everyday, until finally she heard back from Paul.

Lena,

I'm missing you too. My sister has a new boyfriend. Luckily I'm up here to supervise. Just thought I'd fill you in on that. I don't know why I'm just rambling. You haven't said anything about what's his face…I take that as being a good sign? Right? Everything is ok? I hope it is. I love you.

Paul

Jack was picking Carmen up for another date, Saturday morning. Stephen was talking to Kostos on his phone, when Carmen walked out onto the balcony. Carmen knew who it was. She had heard Stephen talking to him earlier. "Tell Kostos I said he is an ass." Stephen laughed. "He already knows what you think of him." Stephen went to hang up the phone, but Carmen caught his hand. "Is he still on the phone?" Stephen nodded. "I didn't want to be talking to him though while you were around." "How thoughtful of you." Carmen took the cell phone and put it up to her ear. "Hi Kostos." Kostos froze. What was she doing on the phone? "Um…hi Carmen." Carmen sat down beside Stephen. "How's Lena?" Kostos couldn't deal with this kind of pressure. "Listen Carmen. Lena's a big girl. She can take care of herself. We've already talked. She just wants to be friends…as much as that pains me." Carmen had to laugh. "Don't hurt her again." Kostos was on the other end snickering. "She makes it so easy though." Carmen had had enough of him. She took the phone and snapped it shut. "Stephen," She said. "You have horrible taste in friends... buthave a nice day." She got up and walked out the front door to wait for Jack on the bench outside.
