The rain had stopped a while ago, but Belle and Nick were still lying in the hay. Belle had never kissed someone like she had kissed Nick. She didn't know what had happened. She had heard that storms were a time of clarity, in the midst of confusion. She got up, and put on the Pants.

"I have to go,"

"Belle, I... you... stay here, we need to talk," Nick said, getting up and grabbing her hand,

"No, Nick, I really have to go," She felt tears pricking at her eyes. She pulled on her t-shirt, it was still blood stained.

"Please, we have to talk..." She pulled away from him and walked to the door of the barn, there she turned.

"No Nick, I have a boyfriend, I'm sorry." And she walked home, leaving him standing in the barn.

Dear Hazel,

Here are the Pants, well I don't know if you heard what happened to Erin? Not so good, and me? Not so good either. I hope they're ok, there is a small stain, but they recently got soaked in a storm, I think the writing is ok. Oh Haze, I don't know what to do, I'm so... confused and alone. I am a terrible person, I kissed someone while wearing these, and not once did I think about Russell. But I didn't just kiss him, I really kissed him. It was one of the most romantic things in my life, and it was with the wrong person. I can't believe I did it. Please don't tell Russell, I need to tell him the whole story first.

Love Belle,

Hazel grabbed the package and ripped it open, pulling out the Pants and putting them on straight away. She vaguely saw Belle's letter as she was rushing out, but she was already late so she decided to read it later on.

"Come on, we'll be late!" Russ said, leaning on the horn as she climbed in.

"Sorry, I had to put the Pants on!"

"Ah the Pants, cool, Belle sent them?"

"Yeah, she sent a letter too, you want me to go get it?"

"No, we'll be even later then!" He laughed. They were going to a fireworks display. They drove into the car park just as they started.

"Wow, it's beautiful!" Hazel said, leaning against Russell as they watched them from the car.

"Not as beautiful as you," He said, quietly.

"What?" She said, sitting up straight and looking at him.

"Look Hazel, I... I... didn't mean I just..." And he bent forward and kissed her. And to her own surprise she kissed him back. Then she pulled away.

"Russell, what are we even doing?" She said, and she got out and ran.

"Hazel! Wait!" He shouted after her, but she carried on running, tears streaming down her face.

Erin hadn't seen Danny since they had found Pete. She and Justin had been hanging out, he had taken her to some parties with his friends. But they were all younger than her. And she couldn't get Danny out of her head.

"Erin, I'm going out ok?" Jane said,

"Yeah ok, Justin's out as well right?"

"Yes, is that ok? I won't be long, you can just watch t.v. Or something?"

"Its fine Aunty Jane,"

"Ok then."

Marianna and Hayden were out again, on their own this time. They had spent most of the night making out. Marianna was so pleased, it was just as great as she'd imagined it. Everyone was jealous of her, especially Kelly. She couldn't wait to get the Pants, she had about two weeks now, she knew they should be with Hazel now. She felt a little guilty, she hadn't replied to any of the girls letters or e-mails, but she was out every night and was too tired to do anything in the day. The leaders were beginning to get pretty annoyed actually, but it didn't matter.

Hazel just kept running, through the crowds of people watching the fireworks. The she banged straight into someone. It was a woman, she was about 20. She had bright yellow hair, and was standing with a good-looking guy, a couple of years older than her.

"Are you ok?" She said, "Hey! It's you!" She grinned dopily.

"Wow, those are the Pants right?" The guy said, also smiling at Hazel,

"Hi, I'm Bee, Bridget, from the original Sisterhood, and this is Eric, my boyfriend," She smiled, then looked closely at Hazel, "Are you crying, hey what's happened?"

"I don't know," Hazel spluttered, Bee pulled her into a hug,

"Tell me everything, think of me as a substitute sister!" She laughed,

A/N Sorry this was short, but I wanted it to end there, with a substitute sister! Shall I tell you my thinking? Ok I wanted Hazel to run into one of the old Sisterhood, and I decided it should be Bee for 2 reasons, 1) She has experience in having hard times with the Pants and 2) I am a big Bee and Eric fan, and I just wanted you all to know that they are totally together! Hehe! Please review and tell me what you thought!
