Giggles could be heard down the block. When the Septembers got together, it was always a party.
"Your mom is SO sweet to treat us Lena!" Hayln gushed.
"Yeah, what's the occation?"
"I don't know Fay, but it seemed like she realllllllly wanted me out of the house." Calla said, somewhat concerned.
"And obviously Airlia wanted nothing to do with us." The girls agreed immediatly. Seeing that they had already lost their ride home, which explains the hurried walk in the chilly air.
They rushed into the house to warm up, and all stood gaping into the dimly lit dining room. It was a picture to beat out all Kodac moments. There they were, the four Septembers. You could see the very expressions they must have worn as kids. Joyous and happy, yet lost for words. Wondering where the time had gone. And then the four girls were spotted.
"Girls, come join us." Lena called sweetly, of course Lena-fashioned. They didn't move though. Frozen in their tracks.
"What are you girls doing? Get your butts over here!" Carmen joked. All the moms laughed. Kineta was stunned. She hadn't seen her mom this happy in months. The four new Septembers joined the four originals for a night of stories that would last hours past their bedtimes, and embarked on a journey that would not soon be over but was not just started. The continuing journey of the pants and the Sisterhood that had grown from them.
