The Brotherhood of the Traveling Pants

by DarkKnightThespian101

In this genderswapped retelling, four teenage boys (Toby, Levi, Cortez, and Bridge) have been best friends since birth. However, they're about to spend their very first summer apart, for better or for worse. Toby has coincidentally bought a new pair of jeans, which somehow fit all four boys perfectly. So, they decide to make these jeans a new symbol of their deep friendship.

4. Rules of the Pants

Rules of the Pants

We, the Brotherhood, hereby instate the following rules to govern the use of the Traveling Pants:

1. No double-cuffing the Pants, or tucking in your shirt and wearing a belt. These Pants are too nice and fancy for such disrespect.

2. When sending the Pants, you must write a letter detailing the most exciting thing that happened while wearing them. Do not text or Facebook message these events instead, and don't you dare post about them on social media until we are reunited. These special moments must be shared the old-fashioned way. (That said, you will text and Facebook message your brothers in general throughout the summer. We've gotta keep in touch!)

3. You shall never pick your nose while wearing the Pants. That said, you may casually scratch your nostril while really kinda picking.

4. Never, ever fart while wearing the Pants. That's nasty. Go sit on the toilet if you gotta fart so bad.

5. You must never call yourself fat while wearing the Pants. (That means you, Cortez. You're beautiful so shut the hell up.)

6. Take a selfie while wearing the Pants and post it on Facebook or Instagram before sending them along. (No Toby, I don't care how much you hate taking selfies. DO IT.)

7. You MUST wash the Pants before sending them along. Failure to comply will result in a spanking upon our reunion. (Levi alone has full permission to break this rule once if the punishment sounds appealing to him.)

8. Any removal of the Pants must be done by the wearer himself. (Yes Bridge, we're all talking to you.)

9. Keep the letters we write. For, upon our reunion, we will use white paint to document all of these exciting and important happenings onto the Pants. Remember not to keep them longer than one week at a time.

10. Never forget: Pants = love. Love all of your buddies. Love yourself.
