Read, Enjoy and Review.

On Monday Lizzy was late for her class, so she rushed through the halls, bumping on people on her way to Professor McGinnis class.

McGinnis had already started her class on Environment and Design. Lizzy tried to get in as quietly as possible, her professor was known to be quite strict. She didn't succeed as the door closed with a loud bang, getting everybody's attention.

"Miss Bennet! Would you mind sharing with us the new environmental directive? Apparently you're quite wise on this subject, otherwise why would you miss the first 25 minutes of this class?"

"Well, they must have said once again that we shouldn't pollute the world and gave us some new rules about how we must proceed. Am I right?" Lizzy was the only one in her class to have the guts to answer back to these kind of comments.

"You might be right, but until you can tell me in a more concise way what "They" are saying, you are required to arrive here on time. Now go and find a seat!"

Lizzy looked up and saw that her friend Char was sitting in the 3rd row, so she walked up the few steps and sat next to her. McGinnis started again to explain the environmental requirements, while the two girls greeted each other.

"Hi Liz! What happened this morning? Your invisible dog stole your alarm clock? Or what?" Char laughed.

"Hey, that's mean. I only used that excuse when I was 7. But anyway, yesterday I was visiting my parents and you know, I was talking my dad and soon it was already 2 am. I decided to stay up there. In the morning I woke up late, and since they didn't have any coffee to wake me up, I had to ask my dad to give me a ride…" Lizzy finished with a whisper after seeing McGinnis giving her "the Brow".

Class was finally over so Char and Lizzy talked now freely.

"So that's how it ended on Friday…"

"Wow, I never thought that these new people were like that! Which reminds me, my dad is giving a party on Friday in honour of Mr. Darcy and Bingley, they're talking about a work project with my dad's firm. So anyway, you and all of your family are invited."

"Char, what do you mean with all of my family? Do you mean me and Jane or my WHOLE family?"

Char didn't reply, but gave her a look that spoke volumes.

ALL of her family was invited, this was not going to be a stress free party, and fortunately enough Char was going to be there…

- 20 minutes later -

Suddenly a music started to play and a voice was heard in the background: "Troubles, Troubles, Troubles… Liz, serious troubles..! You know it's better not to pick this up! Troubles"

Lizzy recognised the voice and said: "It seems like Lydia is calling, this ringtone is genius Char!"

"Oh, hi Lydia. How's it…" she couldn't continue because Lydia started to speak in a very, very loud voice, so much that Lizzy had to take the phone off of her ear.

"LIZZYY-U Can't believe it! We're going to a party! The Lucas's are organising a Mega-bigggy party on Friday. EVERYONE in town is invited. Can you believe it… Anyway, the party is for some new people here, apparently they're bachelors with big moneeeyyy. Anyway Mom wanted me to tell you to come right here, cuz she wants to make sure you're dressed properly, she's taking us for some shopping. So when are you coming?" in all of this time Lydia didn't even take a second to breath.

Before Lizzy could reply she heard Lydia starting to argue with Kate, Lydia's twin sister, and then the phone went dead. In the meanwhile Jane had arrived and greeted Char.

"Liz, don't tell me it was about mom wanting us back home for the party dress shopping?"

"Jane, yes it was. Do you think we were abducted as babies? Or maybe they did some kind of exchange back at the hospital, when the others were born… How is it, that we're the only normal people in our family?"

"C'mon Lizzy, you know it's not true. You and Lydia actually have the same kind of nose… So, you see you're related…" said Jane with new found mirth.

"Jane, WHAT has happened to you?" Lizzy was in wide shock, Jane had never, ever made a joke of that kind.

"Nothing… Well, actually I met Charles Bingley today, and we had a really good conversation…." She wouldn't go on, instead she blushed.

Jane was clearly lost.

It was Tuesday and Darcy was meeting with cousin for breakfast. After discussing some business ideas they had for a new company, Robbie surprised Will by asking something he wasn't quite prepared for.

"So, dear cousin… How's it going with the lovely Elizabeth?"

Will was drinking a very hot coffee, after hearing the question, he almost chocked.

"Ex-excuse me? WHAT?"

"You heard me cuz! Don't play shy"

"It's not true… Well.. I mean, I don't understand" Robbie was already enjoying this…

"Even if you keep denying it, it won't change things… C'mon you have to admit it!"

"Well… She is a really nice person, I'll admit that. Anyway why are asking?" Darcy blushed profoundly, he felt like a 10-year old boy, who was caught stealing cookies.

"I saw it from your face… On Friday night you had this lovesick look all over your face…"

"Rob. You're actually talking about Charlie… He's the one who's lovesick."

"Will, I've known Charlie for many years and you all of my life. I can recognise you, I'm not blind. And man, let me tell you: you've lost it!"

"Look, Robbie… I've only met the girl. She funny and all, but…"

"But...?"

"I don't think she'd even be interested."

"Well, what about Carmen O'Hara?"

"Are you kidding? Have you seen her family? They're all after money. Please don't mention they're names again or you'll have me die of heart attack?" Will finished with a smile.

"What if I invite them for our family party?"

"Robbie, I'm sorry to end your "I'm-a-comedia" moments, but I have to get to work or I'll be late for my 12 o' clock appointment"

"Are meeting by any chance the lovely miss Bennet?" said Robbie with a knowing smile.

"Yes, ok. I'm meeting with her. Will you now stop your secret agent games? It also includes calling and texting during my meeting."

"Yeah, don't worry Darce. I'll give a tip anyway, when you meet her call her "Tree-bomb" it's her favourite nickname. Trust me."

"Ok. Whatever. I have to go. Send my greetings to Meg."

"Will do." Robbie said with a wicked smile, unfortunately Will didn't see he's face, otherwise he would have known that Robbie had planned something…

Lizzy was already sitting at the Mexican restaurant where she was meeting with Will. He was late, which was a bad start because she was supposed to be back at the campus within 45 minutes.

Although she already knew the menu by heart, she decided to check it in case they had added something. Suddenly someone whispered into her ear, the voice was quite deep and send chills down her spine, but what came next wasn't:

"Hi Tree-bomb!"

She turned around and saw mr. Darcy himself with a proud look on his face.

Lizzy was quite mad about the nickname he had just used, and expressed her annoyance with her voice. Will now looked quite puzzled, not knowing why she was annoyed. Something came into his mind…

"Yeah, I'm so sorry I came late… The traffic is horrible…"

"Actually Mr. Darcy they reason of my annoyance was the fact that you called me Tree-bomb. I hope that next time you try to use a nickname with me, you'll use something which doesn't imply my weight and laziness. Thank you!"

/Damn Robbie!/

"I'm so sorry Miss Bennet" he wasn't using her first name, seeing that she wasn't using his" Will you forgive me?"

"Since this is your first misdemeanour, I'll forgive you. And give you another chance." She had now a small smile on her face.

" I really hope to have a good relationship with you, Miss Bennet, otherwise how can we get put into action our plan against our common enemy-aka Robbie?"

"So, you do have a plan… Good, tell me everything and please call Lizzy."

First troubles for Lizzy and Will... There will be more troubles misunderstandings (and so on) coming on the way. Muahahahhahahahaa.
