Disclaimer: I don't own the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, but I do want the soundtrack for the movie because it's got some cool songs.

Once upon a time there were four best friends who shard a pair of magic pants. Now, these pants weren't like the magic mirror in Snow White, or the fairy godmother's magic wand in Cinderella. They did however, make you look really great.

I shared these magic pants with the three greatest friends in the entire world, Carmen, Lena, and Tibby. As far as best friends go, we are about as different as its possible to be. Carmen is brilliant but she always underrates herself. Lena is very beautiful, but also very shy. Tibby is very independent and rebellious. I, Bridget, am wild and out of control.

The Pants traveled between us during the summers as a way to keep us all in touch. We found them two summers ago, and have since had many life changing experiences in them.

Tibby says this summer should be tamer then the last two. Carmen is the only one who is entering a possibly hostile environment. She had decided to try again for the Summer of Carmen and Al. She also plans on apologizing to her step-mother for teaching her stepsister Krista bad habits and ruining her home.

I am going back to Alabama to stay with my grandmother Greta. Not for any particular reason except to visit, and possibly to see Billy again.

Tibby's staying home. Her parents are going on some sort of second honeymoon type trip and leaving Tibby home to baby-sit her four year old sister for two weeks. Luckily Lena offered to help. She's staying home too, except that she still has her summer job at the thrift shop and as enrolled in an art class that meets twice a week, so she's going to be pretty busy.

I feel almost guilty leaving.
