AN: This is my first Sisterhood fanfiction, so bare with me and I hope it's okay. This first chapter is kind of short and others may be short too, but then again there may be longer ones also. It might take me a little bit of time to get into the story. So again, please bare with me. Thanks.
Disclaimer: I do not own the characters in this story, though some future characters may be ones I have created. I respect that the majority of them were created by Ann Brashares for the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants series.
Prologue
We all gathered at Gilda's, a routine we'd found to have stayed that way for the past five years. It was the summer between our second and third years in college. Though we spent most of the year apart, that summer tradition was kept like an old teddy you loved so much as a child, but could never throw away as an adult.
Lena, who had spent the last two years studying art at RISD, was visiting Europe; the cities of Paris, Rome and Athens, where her art class was to study the greats for the summer. Her boyfriend, Timothy, who was in all of her classes, was also going along. They'd only been together for six months, but they were serious about each other.
Tibby was back home for the summer; she had a job, working at a summer school for the local school children. They were to make a film about their life in Bethesda and as a kid growing up there herself; they offered her the position of director. Of course, Tibby being Tibby, she found something wrong with the job on her first day. Not only was the producer a "complete idiot", but he also "has no clue about film making."
Bridget was home too. After two years at Brown she finished her coaching course. On the first day back in Maryland, she was all set up with a job coaching for an under eighteens soccer league team called the Bethesda Bugs.
Carmen was going to South Carolina again to visit her dad and step family, they were planning on taking a trip to California as a family once more before Krista went off to college. Her mom, step dad and little brother were taking a trip up to New York for a couple of weeks, at which Carmen was supposed to be going with them, but the trip to California meant that she could not.
As the evening ending, honouring the pants and the summer had begun. I packed the pants into my bag and followed Lena, Tibby and Bridget out.
"I'm gonna miss you guys." I told them and we hugged each other for a moment.
"It's only going to be two weeks." Lenny laughed.
"The only two weeks you'll have until the end of the summer." I whispered, clinging to her for a moment longer.
"We'll see each other soon." Lena promised as the four of us jumped into Bridget's jeep. A few minutes later and I hopped out again.
"I'll see you guys in a couple of weeks."
"Have a nice flight! Take Care, don't get too sunburnt." They all screamed at me as I shut the door and walked up to the house. I waved my hand and walked inside.
