Lizzie's thoughts.

Saturday morning came out bright and beautiful at 65 degrees. It didn't take long for Lizzie to take her new puppy Cadence for a walk and show said puppy her new favorite grove. Lizzie smiled at the little puppy as it jumped into a puddle that had formed the night before. She couldn't believe that someone had gotten her a puppy. She had thought Jane had got it for her and mailed it to her, but there was no address on the box. Lizzie thought back to the conversation she had had with her sister last night via phone.

Around 11 pm the night before.

Lizzie: Janie guess what happened!!!!

Jane: It had better be good it's 11 at night and I'm on a date. Oops she sounds annoyed.

Lizzie: It is ….. Some one got me a PUPPY!!!!!

Jane: …… really?

Lizzie: Is it that hard to believe me?

Jane: Yes but anyway who gave you a puppy and what kind is it.

Lizzie: a beagle his name is Cadence.

Lizzie paused she could here Jane laughing into phone.

Jane: Cadence you really named a dog Cadence. Is it going to practice with you when school starts.

Lizzie: Hadn't thought about it but I think ill take him to practice on Thursday since it's the day after my birthday.

Jane: I glad your happy is that all you wanted to tell me about?

Lizzie: Yeah you can get back to your date with Charles. It is with Charles right? You need to tell me all the details k.

Jane: Alright I'll call you tomorrow ok.

Lizzie: Yeah I think I can schedule you in because I'm so busy here.

Jane: Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit sweetie, I'll talk to you tomorrow, love ya.

Lizzie: Love ya to Janie bye.

Now as Lizzie jumped into puddles with her puppy she felt bad that she had interrupted Jane's date. Lizzie had never been on a date before unless you count the Homecoming dance with her friend West, but they were just friends. Jane had asked her why she never went out on dates with any boys. Lizzie remembered that she had looked right at Jane and told her all the boys at their school were idiots. It was true Lizzie thought all the boys she would consider going out with were people she had been friends with since Pre-K, or taken, and by taken she meant Coby Daniels who she had a slight crush on last year. She didn't mind not dating anyone, she had seen how some of her friends act in relationships, she wasn't to upset if she ended up acting like one of them. She was brought out of her musings by Cadence barking.

"What's wrong boy?" Lizzie said and she knelled by the dog who started pushing his nose against her hand. "What?" Lizzie asked the dog, as Cadence yanked his leash out of her hand and ran down the road. "Hey!" Lizzie stood up and bolted after the puppy who ran into the grove. "Cadence" she shouted running into the grove to find Will Darcy on his back with her puppy giving him a lot of kisses. "Cadence" she shouted again and ran and pulled the puppy off of Darcy. "I am so sorry Will." She said picking up the dog's leash and keeping him away from Darcy. He gave her a weird look. "What?" she said for about the tenth time that day.

"You called me Will not Darcy." He told her with a smile. The same smile that had her stomach doing back flips.

"So it is your name." Lizzie told with an eyebrow raised and a smirk on her lips. He nodded and sat back up. He pulled a peach off the tree and handed it to her.

"Want one?" He asked

"Sure I'm famished." She said and took the peach. She took a seat next to Darcy and let the puppy run around the little grove.

"So what brings you to this part of the woods?" Darcy asked looking over to her.

"That little ball of fur I call my puppy." She said with a sigh.

"So I see you got your puppy who gave him to you?" Darcy asked good naturedly.

"No clue the note wasn't signed." She took a bite out of the peach and watched the puppy run around and chase a butterfly.

"What's his name?" Darcy asked with a small smile.

"Cadence." She said with a proud smile that turned to a frown when she heard Darcy laughing. "What's so funny about the name?" She demanded angrily.

"Nothing if people didn't know you. But seeing as you gave it that name it's funny." He said still laughing.

"Well fine." She said and pulled out her cell phone to see that she had a text from George asking her if she has been having a good holiday. With a smile she texted him back saying she has been having a good holiday. Right after she finished texting George she remembered who she was sitting next to and what he had told her about Darcy. She frowned a little and reminded herself that she didn't like Darcy. She had just thought about this when she felt someone tap her shoulder. She turned and looked at Darcy who was red for some reason.

"Yeah Darcy?" she asked.

"Elizabeth." He started before stopping. He looked really weird Lizzie thought. "Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked.

Cliff hanger!!! Not really.

Here comes the excuse I got a job. I'm haven't been home at lot cause I've been going to driving school to. Just saying.

On another note did anyone else know that there is a pride and prejudice column now in books. I may not have been writing long but when I started reading fanfiction a few years ago it wasn't there. So this story may be switched to that column now if it gets a little more popular but I really had no idea that it was there so that's all I'm going to say.
