SOTTP: A New Age
Disclaimer: I do not own the sisterhood.
Chapter 1- Hello Again
Eras had passed since the last adventure of the Traveling Pants. Shuffled away somewhere forgotten, they lay bursting with their magic, searching for lives to change.
"I wonder what's up there," Hayden said as she pointed up a dark stairway.
"I don't know, but let's get out of here," said the more fearful of the three girls, Lauren.
Lauren's words were not quick enough to stop the over-curious Hayden from groping her way up the passageway.
Amber quickly followed and added, "Come on you wuss."
The three girls slowly made their way through a door that was shorter than it should have been and into a spider web infested room.
"Please, can we just go. This place is full of junk." said Lauren as her two friends were going through the piles of weird objects.
"She's right, I'm bored already," agreed Hayden.
"Wait!" Amber slowly opened a old trunk in a far corner. "Look at this, it's a pair of jeans…" she trailed off.
"I didn't even know people wore jeans back then." stated Hayden while looking into the trunk at a picture of four young girls probably back in the 10's.
"Why is there writing all over them?" asked Lauren.
"I don't know." Amber held out the jeans and tilted her head. She slowly rotated them to read the inscriptions until they were completely upside down.
"Look something fell out." Lauren stooped down to pick up a ragged piece of paper up of the dusty floor.
"Ha ha. I wonder who Kostos was." Hayden completely ignored Lauren.
"You guys! Look it's some kind of rules!" Lauren shoved the paper, now unfolded, in their faces.
"No picking your nose? That's immature." Hayden looked at the list puzzled.
"It says something at the top, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants? I read something about how friends used to make up these 'sisterhoods'. Wouldn't it be cool if we had a sisterhood? I wonder if these were the Traveling Pants." Amber held up the jeans again.
Lauren walked around Amber to the old trunk. She dug through it and pulled an envelope out. She listened to her friends gab on about what their sisterhood would be like. She knew they weren't paying attention to her. She open the envelope.
"You guys…YOU GUYS!"
"WHAT!" Hayden and Amber said together.
"You want a sisterhood? Read this," Lauren said with a confidence that intrigued her friends.
" If you're reading this letter," Hayden began," the sisterhood is yours. Share the pants. The pants equal love. Take these jeans, and have fun. Sincerely, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. P.S. Read the rules folded in the pocket." Hayden stared at the letter. "This is a little freaky."
"What?" Amber snatched the letter from Hayden.
"Don't you guys get it? We are supposed to take the pants and allow the sisterhood to live on. Look at the bottom of the rules it says to document our adventures on the pants. That's what all that writing is. The original members wrote that."
The three girls look at the pants again.
"You don't think we are really supposed to take the pants?" Amber looked at Lauren like she had just asked her to walk to the moon.
"Why not? It doesn't look like anyone is using them."
"I wonder what else is in that trunk." Hayden was off subject as usual.
"Let's just take it with us." Lauren headed for the door. "This place still freaks me out."
So the three girls, trunk and all, made their way home. It was the beginning of their story.
