Hey long time no see. To anyone who liked this story I'm sorry I haven't been updating it, but this morning I was reading yet another spin off on Jane Austen's life and thought that maybe if I continue this more it could get published. Just kidding as much as I would like that, it's highly unlikely. Also now that I'm in a college English class, we read Pride and Prejudice in class and I learned even more about the social customs of the time.

I also realized how many grammar mistakes I made in the first chapter. I will try to fix them.

Disclaimer: I do own the characters however I do not own the names of the people they are portraying.

"Elizabeth . . . Elizabeth Bennett." The newly proclaimed Elizabeth mumbled to herself as she walked to the front of the house where the already named people gathered. Elizabeth she thought, it will take a little bit to get use to being called that. She looked up and saw that she had reached the front where about 10 people were already gathered. As soon as she reached the people gathered one of them asked.

"So who are you?" A boy a year or two older then her asked. Elizabeth thought she recognized him as the boy who picked to be Charles Bingley. He had light brown hair and a big wide smile. She suddenly wished that she had paid more attention to the names presented before hers.

"I'm Elizabeth Bennett." She said off handedly. She heard some of the girls gasp.

"You are so lucky." One of the girls sighed, and the girl next to her nodded.

"Yeah, you're going to have all the boys after you." One said enviously. Yeah all five of them, she thought. Elizabeth did notice with some amusement that this was the girl picked to be Emma. Elizabeth also thought that they were being ridiculous. Just because she was picked to be Elizabeth didn't mean anything.

"I'm sure I won't, I may be Elizabeth but I'm not going to change myself just because I was picked to be her." She said soundly. So for the plan to be outgoing is working, she thought sarcastically. The girl looked offended that Elizabeth didn't agree with her. Thankfully a smaller girl ran up and pulled Elizabeth away.

"Hi." The girl said with a bright smile. What was her name, what was her name, was all that was going though Elizabeth's head. But she smiled and pretended that she knew who the girl was.

"Hi." Elizabeth said back brightly.

"I'm Lydia Bennett, so I guess that makes you my big sister. How old are you anyway, I'm 11 so I guess that makes me one of the youngest here, isn't that cool. I haven't actually read Pride and Prejudice, but I've seen the movie and love it. My mother is weird she doesn't want me to actually read the book till I get into middle school, but that's next year so I don't have to wait long." She said this all very fast. Wow she really is hyper or just really nervous and is hiding it.

"Well I guess I am your "big sister" and I'm 15." Elizabeth told her. "And you can call me Lizzie if you want, since we're family I assume we are on a first name basis." She said with a smile. She looked around and saw that when ever someone new came out they were immediately asked who they were. She also noticed that people were starting to form little groups taking the time to get to know people before they were forced into the social structure of older times.

"That's so cool." She heard Lydia's voice. "So you'll be going into what grade?" She asked.

"10th." came the reply. A tall dark haired boy came into the front and announced himself to be Edward Ferrars. Elizabeth turned her attention back to the smiling 11 year old who looked positively trilled at learning how old Elizabeth was.

"That's so cool when I get to middle school next year I can tell all my friends that I know a high schooler." She acted as if that fact alone would make her more popular back at her home. It probably would she thought. Elizabeth just gave the girl a smile. She turned her attention to the pathway and she saw that the popular blonde girl from earlier was walking out. Elizabeth pulled on her dirty blonde hair. It really did look ugly compared to this girl's bright blonde hair.

All the current boys gathered around her quickly to ask who she was. They made so much noise however, that no one else heard who she was. Lizzie did note with a slight smirk that Emma and the girl next to her looked very annoyed at the attention the blonde girl was getting. Ha! Lizzie thought and their worried about me. This made her feel significantly better.

"So who do you think she is?" Lydia asked.

"I have no idea, but if she's Charlotte Lucas I'll laugh." Lydia gave her a blank look. "Because Charlotte's described as plain and prudent . . . oh never mind." She added at Lydia's still blank look.

The blonde girl slowly disengaged herself from the boys, and Elizabeth saw the group of girls make towards her. However to Lizzie's growing surprise the blonde walked away from them and walked towards the two Bennett's. She was beaming when she reached them.

"Hello," She said with a smile. Lizzie noticed that the girl was taller then her about 5'7 to Lizzie's 5'4. "I'm Jane Bennett." She told them, and Lydia launched into the same attack she had given Elizabeth.

Elizabeth smiled, now it all makes since she thought. The boys paying attention to Jane, was just prefect foreshadowing in her opinion. It also made since why as to way Jane had come to them. She was brought out of her muse by Jane asking her a question.

"So how old are you Lydia has informed me that she's 11." Jane asked with a warm smile. Lizzie had a quick thought of wonder if Jane and Mrs. Gardiner were related or not.

"I'm 15. How old are you?" She asked politely. She hoped that Jane and she would become good friends.

"I'm 16 I'll turn 17 in July." She said. "I'm going to be starting my senior year next year." This caused Lydia to go into another ramble about how now she knew a 10th grader and a 12th grader. Jane pulled Elizabeth to the side, and whispered into her ear.

"Did she do this to you too?"

"Yup." Elizabeth replied. Small talk carried them though the rest of the wait period. They were soon joined by Mary and Kitty who were 13 and 12 respectively. Lizzie soon found that she stopped paying attention to the people coming out when the five "sisters" when together. They were all spending the time getting to know each other.

Soon Mrs. Gardiner came back out front, and got everyone's attention.

"Alright, now please be quite as I introduce the consolers. When you hear your group called you may leave with your consoler. Please remember to grab your belongings as you leave." Then she began to read off the list, and who should be first but the Bennett's. Their consoler was Mr. Bennett who walked over to them with a smile. He looked to be in his upper 40's with graying hair that was short and gelled up but Lizzie was sure it wouldn't be like that tomorrow.

"Well I see you have all met so let's go." He said and started walking out towards what appeared to be woods. As they followed him they noticed that there were varying clearings in the woods where houses were placed. Elizabeth soon noticed that they must have left first because they had the farthest way to go. They finally arrived at a house that was slightly bigger than the rest. They entered the front room and Elizabeth was shocked with what she saw. It really looked like the rooms you saw in the movies. Elizabeth felt completely out of place in her jeans and t-shirt. Mr. Bennett stepped in front of them.

"Ok as you know I'm Mr. Bennett, and I should let you know your suppose to call me your father, to go with the feel for this experience. However if it makes you feel better you can call me Uncle Dale when were here." He gave them all a smirk, showing he could care less what they called him. "So do you have any question's?" They all shook their heads. "Good that makes my job easier. It's 4 now, dinner will be at 6 every night, so that gives you 2 hours to unpack and talk. My bedroom is the first door on the right up the stairs. The youngest three have the room on the left. And Jane and Elizabeth you two go up to the third floor and it's the first door on your right." And with that he let them go. They all marched up the steps, and Jane and Lizzie left them on the second floor.

"Wow." Came out of Jane's mouth as they entered the room. It was beautiful, Elizabeth had to admit. The floor, the bed and even the door seemed to be made out of a dark red wood. There was a rug under the bed, and what a big bed it was. It had to be a master size and it was so high of the ground that Lizzie thought she could crawl under the bottom. She assumed they got a bigger bed because they were bigger than middle schoolers. They dropped their suitcases at the foot of the bed and split up. Jane checked out the one of the vanity desks in the room, and Lizzie ran to look out the large window. She was amazed with what she saw. They were up high enough that she could see the administration building and they had a great view of a clearing not far from the house.

"Come look at this view." She told Jane who came and looked over Elizabeth's shoulder.

"Wow it's amazing." She exclaimed. "Though in my opinion Virginia's landscape has always been beautiful to me."

"Do you live near by?" Lizzie asked.

"Yes I live about 15 minutes away." She said. Just then the door burst open and Lydia and Kitty came in.

"You room's pretty." Lydia huffed. "Our room's not nearly as pretty." She groaned. Kitty just stood there.

"Sorry sweetie." Was Jane's reply, the two of them left the room soon after.

"She just became more like Lydia Bennett." Lizzie remarked and Jane laughed. Lizzie walked over to the door in the room and opened it. In the room before her was a very modern bathroom. It had two sinks, a toilet and a shower like every bath room. However it had sparking white tiles and glistening cabinets, not to mention it was huge, bigger than either of the two bathrooms in Lizzie's house back home. It felt very eerie walking into the bath room and then walking back out into the room that was very regency.

"The bathroom's awesome." She informed Jane, who looked in and let out a whistle.

"Very nice." She smiled. She turned and looked around the room. "So should we unpack?"

"Sure." Lizzie replied. The threw their suitcase's onto the bed and started unpacking. Lizzie observed her bag with amusement. Because clothes were being provided, she had only brought a couple pairs of normal clothes. Most of her suit case was full of books, family items and her toiletries. Jane had claimed the left side of the bed so Lizzie put her phone into the right side cabinet beside the bed.

"So," Lizzie started deciding to make small talk. "You're from around here?"

"Yes, I have lived in this area my whole life." Jane said. She had pulled a blanket out of her suit case. "What about you? Where do you live?" She asked looking at her room mate.

"Not to far from here, I'm from Maryland's eastern shore. About 3 hours give or take." Lizzie told her pulling a stack of books from her case.

"What's it like there?" Jane asked.

"A lot like here, except very flat with a bunch of farms. I think it's very pretty there." She told her "sister". Lizzie noticed that she was almost done unpacking it had seemed like she packed a lot more. She slid the suitcase under the bed and flopped down on it.

"FYI the bed is very comfy." She said and she felt Jane lift her suitcase off the bed. Lizzie looked at the blanket Jane had taken out earlier. "Can I look at this?" She asked. Jane nodded. Lizzie pulled the blanket towards her and saw it was a patch-work quilt. On every different square she saw a name, and some had messages under them. Jane sat next to her on the bed.

"I had members of my family write their names on the blanket." She pointed out her mother and father. "This one here's my little brother, he was only 3 when I made this so he stuck his hand in paint, instead of writing is name."

"This is so cool." Lizzie exclaimed then she realized some thing. "You made this?" Jane blushed.

"Yes my freshman year in home ec, I found I really liked sewing. It took a long time but I finally finished it." Lizzie looked at Jane wide eyed.

"That's so cool."

"Really? Most people don't think that." she admitted looking a little embarrassed.

"Yeah, it's totally cool." Lizzie said, then she looked at the dresser. "Hey, I have an idea." She got up and ran to the dresser started pulling dresses out of it. "Let's see if we can figure out how to put every thing on." She turned towards Jane with a smile.

"Alright." Jane got off the bed and came to help her. They spent the next hour and a half trying on the dresses. By the time 6 came around they both had managed to dress each other in the empire dresses.

"Well don't we look funny." Jane said with a smile. The two had gotten even closer by trying on the clothes. Then Jane glanced at the clock. "Oh, no it's already 6 we don't have time to change out of these clothes."

"Well I guess we go like this. Then we can get use to wearing this." She pulled the dress up with her hand. Jane waved a finger at her.

"Never lift your dress above your ankles it is scandalous." Jane said seriously. Elizabeth looked at her in shock and disbelief. "I'm kidding." She said with a smile. "Though they probably will pull that on you tomorrow." She laughed at Elizabeth's face, and hooked arms with her. "Come on lets get some dinner." And they walked down stairs.

Like, don't like please tell me. And please review.
