After their date Will was concerned about how much time Charles spent in the city. He would travel there every weekend and probably would have everyday if he didn't convince his friend that he needed to study.

Will figured he needed to save his friend from this city girl's clutches. He had the behavior of the younger sisters and the mother, but he figured that wasn't enough. They were from a sketchy neighborhood. But that didn't stop Charles from going there every weekend

He was deep in thought with these questions at lunch that he started when he heard Caroline's voice. Will wanted nothing more than to excuse himself so he wouldn't have to sit with her. Charles had to go in for math help which left Will with no support except for his cousin who was too busy talking at the end of the table. But then he had a plan that if Caroline wished to help, could solve everything.

"Caroline, what do you think of Jane?"

"She is really sweet and has pleasing manners, but her sisters, no they lack every sense of refinement."

"Not all of them, surely." Will had accidentally let his mind wander to Lizzie.

"Lizzie is okay I guess, but she isn't anything like Jane. Definitely not as pretty."

Will stiffened. He wasn't allowed to object without saying he was interested.

"Well I'm not convinced that Jane is good for him considering where her family comes from."

"That has been bothering me as well. Oh to drag my poor brother through the mud."

"Then can I rely on your cooperation?"

Caroline raised an eyebrow but agreed eagerly.

He returned home and tried to fix a plan of action. If only there was a scandalous event or picture that he could use. He went online on Facebook to see if any of the Bennet girls had a black mark. There were plenty of the youngest girl and the second youngest had a few. Mary Bennet the third oldest didn't have Facebook which wasn't really helpful. Jane didn't have a single picture that would allow him to think ill of her.

Will couldn't explain to himself why he left Lizzie last. He held his breath as the computer looked for her. He felt disappointed to find it blocked to the public and if he wanted to see any of her pictures he would have to be friends with her. He closed the laptop and brushed his hair from his face. His sister walked in and rested her chin on his head.

"What's wrong?"

"Just having trouble finding something."

"Is that something related to Lizzie?"

Will then felt it was a bad idea that he had talked to his sister about the date. But at the time she had been so eager to hear what happened and Will had been wanting to tell somebody, that he gave in to his sister and told her everything. About how pretty he thought Lizzie was in her dress. About her knowledge in art, history, music and her sense of humor.

His sister Georgiana listened intently and laughed at the part when they had gotten lost.

"Is it related to Lizzie?" She asked again.

"Sort of."

"When will you see her again?"

"Probably never."

"I would have like to have met her."

Will turned around to face his younger sister. He sometimes thought his sister needed a companion because she was so shy. Georgiana had been taken out of school to be tutored at home. She didn't have friends that could come over, and so she spent most of her time practicing her instruments.

Will was amazed how fast time went by, next year his little sister would be in high school. He hoped his sister would be ready to go back to school by that time.

He had been thinking so long that his sister had left him alone in his room. Will sighed. He needed to spend so more time with her. His final plan would be to asses both Charles and Jane. Charles wore his heart on his sleeve so it wasn't hard to know that he felt himself to be in love, but Jane didn't show anything but gratitude for his attentions. This could be the card that he needed.

The next day was the weekend of Thanksgiving break. Charles had invited Jane to spend it with his family which was recommended by Caroline. Caroline would work from her angle to see if their were any feelings on her side or if it was all a lie.

Will would continue to talk to Charles and try explain the evils of the connection.

On Thanksgiving day a heavy storm came through. Will looked at his phone when the alarm said he had a text. It was Caroline.

Jane just arrived. More news later.

Will was surprised that Jane attempted the trip in the rain. She came by train, but it must have been bad to still get to the train station from her house.

Will didn't get a satisfactory message until the next day, and even then it wasn't good news.

Jane is sick and my parents and brother insisted that she stay till she gets better.

Will decided to step in and do things himself. He rode over to the Bingley's house the next day and was surprised to see another visitor arrive at the same time as him.

"Lizzie, what are you doing here?"

She turned around looked just as surprised as him, "I should ask the same question" then she recollected, "are you here to see Charles.?"

Now that Lizzie was in all this he had to be careful when he lied, "Yes. Are you here to see your sister?"

"To get her actually." She knocked on the door and waited till the opened and they were both allowed inside.

"Lizzie, what a pleasant surprise!" Charles's eyes were big with wonder as the two entered together. "Did Will bring you here?"

"No I walked here from the train station."

A silence feel across the small group and Charles began to laugh, "You must be a great walker, I'm sorry if I had known I would have picked you up, or even Caroline who should redeem herself from having missed your sister's call yesterday."

"What do you mean?" asked Will.

"Caroline was supposed to pick Jane up from the train station yesterday. But she had lost her phone and missed her call so Jane walked here."

Will looked for Caroline, but she had conveniently left when Lizzie arrived.

"I don't mind a walk." Said Lizzie with a laugh, "People should walk more anyway."

Charles smiled, "Would you like me to take you to your sister. She may still be asleep, but I bet she will increase in health knowing her sister is here."

Lizzie thanked him and he lead her to Jane's room. Will stayed behind to look for Caroline.

She was hiding in the library pretending to read. When she saw Will she threw her book down and have a yawn.

"Well I didn't expect for this to happen. Why come all this way to visit a sick sister, as if she can do anything."

"Why did you let Jane walk here yesterday?"

"You expected me to affirm her feelings in one afternoon. I'm not like you, Will, where I can read others."

"Then have you been doing this whole time?"

Caroline felt a little insulted, but felt if she wanted to get Will in the end she needed tonight take what he said to heart, "I asked her some questions about her family and got some information on her parents and relatives. Mother is a stay home mom which makes sense with five daughters. The father is a teacher at their high school and teaches literature. They have an uncle who is in law and another who is a stock broker."

"That's good and all, but what about her feelings? Does her behavior say she is in it for the money?"

"No, but we don't have to work hard to convince him otherwise."

"What do you mean?"

"He doesn't need to know the truth."

"I'm not going to lie to him, Caroline."

"Hey, it's not like I want to either, but he'll thank us later."

"That's a last resort use only."

They concluded and went back to the front room where Charles and Lizzie were already seated. Caroline worked hard to be kind to Lizzie who was only civil in return. Will guessed that she wasn't convinced and wouldn't trust her after the way she treated Jane. Will knew Caroline would get nothing from her so he decided to give a try.

"How's Jane."

"Very sick, but she will recover as soon as she returns home."

"You plan for the two of you to leave tonight?"

"Yes, I wouldn't want my sister to inconvenience the Bingleys."

"Of course you aren't. You both are welcome to stay, right Carrie?"

Caroline was smart to have been too busy talking on her phone to have heard why she had nodded to. For Will, this was an excellent time to observe the Bennet girls. Jane wouldn't venture out of her room often so that only left Lizzie. When Will had tried earlier he found her less inclined to speak with him as well as Caroline. What could have brought that on? Charles would entertain Lizzie with small games like checkers and card games. When Lizzie asked if he wanted to play chess he replied in a regretful negative, "I fear I won't be a good opponent since I rarely play the game."

Lizzie was about to pull out another game when Will stepped up, "If you don't mind, I'll play against you."

She accepted his offer and they sat down to play. They played in silence both concentrating on the game, and Will also was trying to find the words to say. Lizzie broke it for him.

"Do you often play chess?"

"I had more when I was little."

Lizzie took his bishop and he frowned. "What about you?"

"I play with father on occasions."

He took her rook and put her in check. He smiled up at her but she was still looking at the board.

"How about this, loser has to do something for the winner." Will normally wouldn't make bets, but this would be useful for a later ordeal.

"If you really want to then fine." She moved her pawn and took out his queen who was guarding his king who had been slowly been surrounded by five pawns with the queen putting Will's king in a check mate. "I call this the Bennet smack-down." She laughed.

He felt that she was conveying a message through her strategy. He had disregarded the pawns which had been his downfall. "I believe you owe me a favor."

Will frowned but nodded, "What do you want?"

"Oh, I won't use this favor now. I might need it later on when you least expect it."

"You seem certain you'll see me again."

"If I don't then I won't be disheartened, and you can rest easy to know that you never had to do what I have planned for you."


The teenagers retired for the night and Will drove home. Out of all this he felt that Lizzie was pretty dangerous, and now that he owed her a favor, she could make him do whatever she wanted. Within reason of course, she isn't going to make me do something outrageous right? What could she want from him? If it was another girl then she would ask for a car or date that was really expensive, but Lizzie didn't seem to be interested in those things. Thinking over what could be Lizzie's wish would be made him think about her the whole ride home. He thought about telling his sister that Lizzie was at the Bingleys, but then was reminded that he couldn't do anything that could hurt her in the future by being friends with the Bennets. Even if the older girls behaved well, he could not overlook the mother or younger siblings behavior. Will was surprised that when he got home he found that Charles had called, he was so deep in thought he hadn't heard the vibrating. He listened to the voice-mail as he went inside.

You have two messages. First message: "Hey Will, so I wasn't able to tell you this before you left because Caroline was in the room and I didn't want her to get upset. I decided to throw a get-well party for Jane and invite her family down. Of course I'm going to invite some other school friends and I wanted you to be the first person I told- End of message. Next message: Your sister to come. I know Caroline wishes to see her as much as I do. I know these type of things aren't your thing but think of it as a social experiment or whatever you do. I hope you say yes, it will be in two days so I'll be busy tomorrow getting it thrown together. See ya there, bye."

Charles was never good with technology and his voice-mails as well as text could be hard to understand. The machine had cut him off and left out part of his conversation. Of course Charles probably didn't realize it.

This was getting out of his control. If Charles wanted to have their parents meet then this was serious. Why her of all the people. You fell in love with girls ten times her worth.

He rested his face in his hands while he stared at his computer. The notes he had taken so far on the Bennets could be a strong case. But his audience was Charles, and Charles, even though he trusted him, was too infatuated to be swayed by his usual oppositions.


A/N: So what is Lizzie's future plan for the favor Will now owes her? Feel free to share your thoughts on what it should be.

I'm sorry if this chapter seems a bit short. Lot of things on my mind and I'm actively working on another fan fiction as well as my own originals. Please review, if you have any questions please ask, if I don't answer them first I'm sure someone else will. Thanks so much to my followers! And a personal shout out to Dizzy Lizzy.60!
