A/N Hi there! Thanks for your lovely reviews! And thank you to gilliekitten who this chapter is dedicated to, as they were the only person to tell me the rules, thanks! Read on and review please! (Sorry if there are any mistakes on what the Pants say, I had to guess, with help from Riza-4789)

Erin was mildly curious about what could be so precious, and yet was still given away to a used clothes store. But she was more worried. She was worrying about going to England, she had never been there since her Dad had died, 2 years ago and the last time had been at Christmas, when she was about 3. Now she was 16. She was also worried because this was the first summer she would be spending without her best friends, Marianna, Isabella and Hazel. Their Dads had all worked in the same company, same department so their mums had all taken refuge from long hours together, then they were all born in the summer and had grown up together.Marianna was the oldest, then Isabella, then Hazel, and Erin was the youngest, although she was less than two months younger than Marianna.

She sighed, and began to unpack the bag. On top was a pair of worn out jeans, they were quite nice though. Then she noticed that there was writing all over them, inscriptions, Bailey one said, seeing all of Kostos, was another there were lots more, they were all small, and quite hard to notice at first. Erin shook her head, wondering why whoever had owned them had done that. She began to check the pockets and in the left one found an old piece of paper, curious now, she opened it.

Hi, whoever found The Travelling Pants, I bet your wondering now what crazy people used to own these, writing on them, leaving notes for the next owner. But what you don't know is that these Pants are magic. They help a Sisterhood in need, they helped us when we needed them the most. We've been through a lot together, but it's time for them to move on, and they've come to you, that means your Sisterhood needs help staying together. Use these Pants well, we hope you'll follow the rules we've all stuck to, however strange some of them may seem. And document each of your own discoveries and adventures, as we have.

Have fun this Summer, with the Pants and with each other,

Love the last Sisterhood, Carmen, Bridget, Tibby and Lena x x x

P.S They fit us all! And we couldn't be more different!

After that there were a set of rules,

1)You must never wash the Pants

2)You must never double cuff the Pants. It's tacky. There will never be a time when this is not 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 off the Pants. (although you may take them off in his presence)

5)You must not pick your nose while wearing the Pants. You may, however, scratch at your nostril while really kind of picking

6)Upon our reunion you must follow proper procedures for documenting your time in the Pants.

7)You must write to your sisters throughout the summer no matter how much fun you are having without them

8)You must pass the Pants on to your sisters throughout the summer according to the specifications set down by the Sisterhood. Failure to comply will result in a sever spanking upon our reunion

9)You must not wear the Pants with a tucked in shirt or belt, (see rule 2)

and finally, "Pants equal love, love your pals, love yourself."

"How very strange," Erin said, but she folded the Pants and put them to the side. Then she finished sorting out the rest of the clothes, it was a complete mixture, and she guessed all four of the girls had contributed. When she was finished she headed out into the store. When her mum had finished serving a customer she went over to her.

"Hey Mom, I sorted the clothes, these were in there, but they have writing all over them, so they won't be of any use, can I have them?"

"Sure, I'm not sure why, but if you want some old pants with scribbles on, fashion these days, I don't know!" Her Mom laughed. "So I have to run a few errands, will you watch the store, and then you can go and meet the girls, they can sleep over if you want, not long till England after all," She kissed the top of Erin's head.

Erin watched the store for a few hours, all the time glancing at the Pants, wondering if they were about to do some sort of magic, but nothing extraordinary happened. When her Mom came back she tucked them under her arm and walked home. Then she put them on her bed, under her pillow.

"Hey Belle, can you sleepover tonight?"

"'Course Erin! When would I not jump at the chance to see you lot and eat ice-cream and popcorn before I go off to the country." Isabella pressed play on the video for her little brother, Spider man began blaring out.

"Good, I'll ring the others,"

"See Ya Baby!" Belle shouted over the opening credits, then she hung up, "Freddy, turn it down!"

"I need to watch it before we see Aunty Pauline, Mom says she doesn't even have a T.V.!" the 5 year old looked aghast, "Imagine that Belle, it's going to be so boring out there..." Belle laughed, it was so true.

Her Mom was working over the summer, as was her Dad so no-one would be around to look after Freddy or Belle, not that she needed looking after. So they were being sent off to the farm where their Dad had grown up and Aunty Pauline now lived, with her husband Joe.

"Well, we'll cope, Dad did after all!"

Marianna was beginning to pack, well throw her clothes onto her bed, when her phone rang.

"Yullo," She sang down the phone.

"Hey Mari, tis Erin, can you sleepover tonight?"

"I think I might have to, my bed has been lost under some clothes..." Marianna laughed, curling a piece of hair around her finger as she stared at the devastation that was her room, "I'll have to leave early tomorrow, to pack, I'm leaving tomorrow night!"

"Yeah, looking forward to Drama camp?"

"It's not a camp, it is a society for young actors,"

"Whatever!" Erin laughed, "See you tonight, I have to phone Hazel, her phone keeps being engaged though,"

"Ok, I'll see you all tonight! I'll bring some ice-cream!"

After trying Hazel about 50 times Erin decided to see if she was on-line, luckily she was.

Erinbaby: Hey Haze, I've been ringing you for ever!

Hazey: Yeah my Mom's still on the phone, trying to arrange for me to visit some relative, still not happening though, she has no choice but to leave me here!

Erinbaby: Lucky you! Well, lucky her, going on a cruise!

Hazey: It is their second honeymoon I suppose:-)

Erinbaby: True! Wanna sleep over tonight?

Hazey: Anything to get away from wedding plans and Mom speaking furiously in Japanese!

Erinbaby: See you later then, I must prepare!

Later that night everything was ready, almost. Her Mom had given them range of the living-room and the wide screen T.V. Erin had pulled cushions and sheets and covers from every room of the house into there to make one big pile, which they could use to grab things to make their own beds. The pizzas were in the oven and she was just running upstairs to grab pillows when the doorbell went.

"Hey Lovely!" Marianna walked in, looking stunning as always. She was quite tall with long dark red hair and green eyes, all her looks from her Irish father.

"Hi, you look great as always!" Erin smiled, "Come help me grab pillows and it shall be ready!"

They ran up to her room and grabbed the pillows off her bed, and underneath, there were the Pants.

"What are these?" Marianna asked,

"I found them in a bag of clothes today, but there's some stories behind them, we have to wait for the others though!"

They headed down into the kitchen (after throwing the pillows into the living room) Hazel and Isabella were waiting in there with Erin's Mom.

"Your here!"

"Yup, I let them in, but that is all I shall be doing this evening, the downstairs is yours, I am going to have a bath and go to bed, I shall leave you girls to it!" and with that she walked out, kissing Erin on the cheek as she went, "Night girls!"

Once she was gone they all had a quick group hug, then grabbed the newly cooked pizza and took their plates into the living room.

"What movie then?" Hazel said, grabbing a quilt and heaping it into a pile which she promptly sat on. Her black hair was tied up in a bun and she grinned at them as she took a huge bite of her pizza. Even in her baggy pants and t-shirt she still looked stunning, getting her Japanese genes from her Mom and her bright blue eyes from her blonde haired all-American Dad.

"We have something else to do first!" Erin said, and she produced the Pants. They all gathered closer, forming a circle around them.

"What are they?" Hazel said,

"If I'm not correct, I'll eat my hat, but I believe they are a pair of pants." Marianna said,

"I knew that!" Hazel said, hitting Marianna, "I meant what's so special about them, and why do they have writing on them?"

"Read this," Erin said, passing the note around the circle.

"The Travelling Pants?" Belle said, with raised eyebrows.

"Yes, and they're just what we need, something to unite us, even when we are in different parts of the world!" Erin said,

"Well, I don't know, I mean magic? Aren't we a little young to believe that?" Marianna stated.

"Not at all!" Hazel said, "Come on lets try them on, please!" And she got up and began changing into them.

"Wow, no fair, your gorgeous anyway, they can't make you more gorgeous!" Belle said,

"Well they fit, and I'm small, so if they fit you guys, that would be weird enough... and if they fit Marianna, that is magic!"

Belle tried them next, she was the curviest of them all and was taller than Hazel by a couple of inches. But miraculously they fit, comfortably as well.

"Oh look at that ass!" Hazel joked, "Marianna's turn!"

"They won't fit me, I'm too tall!" But none the less she pulled them on, and magically they fit, they even covered her feet a little,

"You look great!" Belle said, "Did I look as good as them?" She asked Erin,

"Yes!" Erin laughed, then she looked worried, "My turn right?" She was pretty skinny, with no figure what so ever, and she had found the Pants, it would be terrible if they didn't fit her. But as she pulled them on, instead of bagginess, they were comfortably tight, making it look as if she had hips.

"Wow!" Marianna said,

"They are magic!" Hazel said, dancing around the room.

Erin took them off and placed them in the middle of the girls again.

"To the new Sisterhood!" Hazel said, and they all clinked their slices of pizza.

A/N Hope you liked it, please review, new chapter coming soon because I really want to get into this story!
