This is a redone version of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. So if you love the book and don't want to see it changed, then don't read. This was done by R.D.K and me, Setsuna X.

Summary: Darcy and Bingley have been friends for a long time and know one another quite well. They are extremely close, but when the Bennet sisters and other prospects begin to show up, things become hectic and love becomes a mess.

Chapter 1

It is truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a lover.

Mr. Bingley, a man of wealth and single to boot, had just moved into Longbourne. The girls in the Bennet household, except Jane and Elizabeth, who were the two eldest daughters, were all in an uproar at the new meat on the platter. Mr. Bennet sat back on his La-Z-Boy chair with a glass of wine, watching all the women getting ready for the hunt.

"Mr. Bennet" screeched Mrs. Bennet at her husband; "you must introduce us to Mr. Bingley. It is essential so that one of your daughters might marry him."

"Why?" asked Mr. Bennet "Surely you can introduce yourselves, I know you strongly want to meet this Mr. Bingley," responded Mr. Bennet.

"Oh! You are insufferable Mr. Bennet" cried his wife "Don't worry ladies, I am sure that your father loves you very much, he just has a horrible way of showing it by abandoning his daughters in a time of crisis to fend for themselves…" left off Mrs. Bennet dramatically.

"Now that you bring it up, my dear," continued Mr. Bennet "There is a ball in a week at

---------shire. I hear from Mr. Bingley himself that he is to show up with several handsome ladies and a prominent young man."

All the girls stopped whatever they were doing and just gawked at Mr. Bennets' form, which was still lounged on his chair, cradling the wine glass.

"You have talked to Mr. Bingley! And there is to be a ball!" squeaked his wife in excitement, clasping her hands in front of her. Her face, one of triumph along with her daughter Lydia, let out the most outrageously and brightest smile. Mary just ignored the excitement around her and opted to pick up a book and read. Jane and Elizabeth were excited over the ball itself, not necessarily the company.
