A/N: 5 chapters in less than a month!!!!!

Chapter 16:

"No, no, no! This is not happening, again!" Trinity whined as yet another vision overtook her and her friends.

Luna chuckled, "It's not so bad, Trin, when you think about it."

"Maybe for you," Ginny muttered as she looked around the stable they were in.

Before they could say anything else, Elizabeth stepped cautiously into the stable, holding a candle out in front of her. "Will?" There was no answer. "Will, are you there?"

"He's not here," a past version of Hermione stepped into the light, "He left an hour ago when you didn't show up."

"Linney," Elizabeth scowled, "isn't there somewhere you're supposed to be?"

"No, not that I know of. You fired me, remember? So much for being friends," Linney sneered.

Elizabeth glared, "If you weren't such an incompetent maid, you'd still have a job."

"If you weren't such a whore," Linney started, "maybe we'd still be friends. But you were the one having an affair while being engaged."

"You don't know what you're talking about, Linney."

"Of course I don't."

"Why you little ---"

"Linney! Get away from here before I call the officers!" Diana yelled as she walked into the stable house, "You are on private property without permission."

"Of course, Miss Diana," Linney glared once more at Elizabeth before climbing onto a horse and riding off.

"Oh, Diana! He is gone!" cried Elizabeth, "He left but an hour ago!"

"Lizzie," Diana hugged her sister, "it will be all right. Shush. I am positive he would not give up hope in you so quickly." Diana started looking around, and a few moments later she exclaimed, "Aha! Lizzie, come quickly!"

Diana pulled Elizabeth out of the stable and pulled her along as she ran. Trinity, Luna, and Ginny followed, and soon found that their past lives were headed to the sub-station.

Penelope was already there, waiting for them, "Lizzie! I was already out when I saw him come down here. I convinced him to take a later train, but I do not know which one he chose to take."

Elizabeth ran to the information stand, "Have you seen a blond man, about this height?"

"Yes, ma'am, I did. He just went aboard that train there to Chicago," the man said. "It's about ter leave, so if you wish to buy a ticket you best hurry."

"Send the bill to the Hayes household," Penelope said quickly, shoving Elizabeth onto the train, "We'll send some of your stuff after you when you write to let me know where you are."

"And we'll be sure to cover for you!" Diana added.

"How?" Elizabeth asked.

"We'll fake your death or something," Penelope gave her a swift hug before letting go because the train started moving. "We may even come too. There's nothing worthwhile in this place."

Elizabeth laughed as she walked up the hallway of the train, looking for Will. When she caught sight of him, she called his name. He, along with many others spectating, turned to look. Many people recognized her as the oldest Holland who was engaged to Henry Schoonmaker, but none expected her to be on a train to the west.

She ignored all of them as she ran to Will and jumped into his arms. Elizabeth kissed him passionately before he could say anything.

She pulled back, "You have no idea how much it hurt to think you were already gone."

He kissed her again, "Do you regret coming?"

"Not at all," she whispered into his neck. Both had completely forgotten they were being watched until all the people on the train started clapping - even the rich people who were just going on a trip couldn't help but be moved by this young couple.

"Oh, this is so romantic!" Trinity sighed.

Luna also sighed at the scene before them, "It really is! Who knew your brother could love someone so much?"

"I knew." Ginny stated smugly.

Trinity raised an eyebrow, "Really now?"

"Oh, shush up! The scene is changing," Ginny snapped.

"When is it now?" Luna asked.

"I don't know," they both rolled their eyes. Ginny then had a thoughtful expression appear on her face, "I think it's about a month later, after getting on the train." The others nodded.

"Oh, Lizzie, your home is beautiful! Even for a two bedroom cottage, it's amazing!" Penelope exclaimed.

Elizabeth smiled, "Thanks, Penny! Di, where are you going?"

"To the village. I want to meet some of your new friends!" Diana ran down the steep hill they were on, and Penelope and Elizabeth followed laughing.

A dark skinned girl with brunette hair smiled as she saw the three women running, "Everyone, look! Elizabeth is coming!"

"Patricia," a woman warned, "be discreet about things."

"Sorry, mama." Patricia rolled her eyes. "Tyree!"

"What?" a copy of Theo came out of a store, followed by the past lives of Blaise, Grace, Millicent, Padma, Parvati, Cho, Briant, and Damion.

"Elizabeth is coming down the hill!"

The past life of Cho looked confused, "Who are those two girls with her?"

The woman who had spoken to Patricia spoke, "Those are Miss Holland's sister and a friend from New York. They arrived last night asking for her. Now, all of you, go play and get out of our way if you're not going to help."

The ten young adults ran to meet Elizabeth as she reached the bottom. She spoke through her laughter, "Patricia! How good to see you!"

"And you, Lizzie." Patricia hugged her, "Care to introduce us?"

"Of course." Elizabeth nodded, "This is my sister, Diana Holland, and my best friend, Penelope Hayes. Di, Penny, this Patricia. Then there's Tyree, Michael, Jane, Amelia, Kimberly and Krissy, Sayuri, Brutus, and David."

"Ok, so who is who?" asked Trinity.

Ginny listed them off, " Patricia is Pansy, Tyree is Theo, Michael is Blaise, Jane is Grace, Amelia is Millicent, Kimberly and Krissy are Padma and Parvati, Sayuri is Cho, Brutus is Briant, and David is Damion. Help?"

"Ugh," Trinity groaned, "we'll definitely need to make a list when we wake up."

"No kidding," Luna agreed.

"It's nice to meet you, Miss Hayes, Miss Holland," Amelia said warmly.

Penelope smiled, "The pleasure is ours." Diana sighed as she plopped down in the grass, "Yeah, finally we are out of the city and do not have our mothers breathing down our back about decorum and the such!"

Elizabeth laughed, "And no being forced into marriages!"

"Oh, Lizzie, it was horrid after you left!" Diana exclaimed, "Mother had your funeral, for we faked your death, and went right into finding me a perfect match! You have no clue at all the men she had chosen!"

"Oh, Lizzie, if you had seen our poor Diana with those men!" Penelope put her hand to her chest for emphasis on how horrid it was, "And we had thought they were horrid with you because of your beauty! It was but ten amounts worse!"

"Oh, you poor dear!" Elizabeth hugged her sister as the western young adults watched on. "Sayuri, will you be a dear and fetch some fresh rolls for her? They will be the best thing to make you forget, Diana!"

Sayuri smiled, "Of course, Liz!"
