A/N- So, here's another chapter. So far seems to have guessed which couple will now be introduced. Come on think! Jane, the Elizabeth and now whom? Anne and Mr Bennet might have been a cute idea, but it would really mess up the story. And its not Georgiana and Wickham either, because Georgiana is too young and Wickham was never right for her anyway. As for Mr Collins and Caroline, that one was close. Not quite it. But keep guessing and reviewing! Now, for the rest of the story.

The next day was much similar, and the next, and the one after that. A week is but a short time and the visit was soon at an end. The last day was a bit different from others, for some of the very lively party grew despondent at the idea of the coming departure. Then, that day Mrs Bennet sent Jane a note saying-

My dearest Jane,

I hope you and Lizzy are well and enjoying your stay. I believe you intend to return home soon, but of course I can spare you if your friends insist you stay. I do hope Lizzy isn't being a bother. Don't let her offend your hosts!

Your loving Mama

Lizzy too received a letter from her father, which said,

Dear Lizzy,

I hope you enjoyed the visit. I miss you, my dear, and Jane too. Though your Mama is in no hurry to see you back, I'm afraid I am. But if you desire to stay, you need not rush back on my account.

Your Papa

The sisters read the notes, and resolved to return home the next day, for they were incredibly homesick. That day, at the breakfast table, Jane mentioned their plans of return the next day.

'By Jove! Surely you don't intend to return so soon! Why, you have only just arrived!', cried Mr Bingley.

'They have been here for nearly a week, Charles.', said Ms Bingley.

'Upon my word, they have! It feels like so much less, doesn't it Darcy?'

Darcy was having similar thoughts. He murmured his agreement.

'I for one, will miss you a lot, Ms Bennet, Ms Elizabeth.', said Caroline.

'I entreat you, stay a while.', said her brother looking at Jane.

'Charles!', admonished his sister, 'I am sure Mrs Bennet could not spare them.'

Jane might have agreed to stay a bit longer, but Lizzy was adamant.

'I don't think she could, Ms Bennet, and we are rather homesick.'

'In that case, we would not dream of holding you back. I hope we shall meet often and I intend to hold a ball soon, so we may see each other then.'

His sister suggested that not all company present may like the idea, for it was well known that Mr Darcy despised dancing. But Mr Darcy quenched the idea soon, and said that he enjoyed dancing if his partner was one he could converse with easily.

Though offended, Caroline did not show it and was exceptionally civil to Lizzy, for the idea of seeing the last of her was delightful to her. Each of the company had different opinions about Jane and Elizabeth's departure.

Caroline was a bit sorry to part with Jane, with whom she got along quite well, but the prospect of getting rid of Lizzy was very attractive to her. She was conscious that she was making herself disagreeable but she despised Elizabeth Bennet so much! And this made Mr Darcy as well as his sister inattentive to her.

Louisa, having married well had no such concerns and only regretted the loss of company. Mr Hurst too, was only mildly sorry to say goodbye to the sisters, for he saw nothing of interest in them.

Mr Bingley, for his part was sorry to see the women go, for he had become much attached to Jane. In fact, he was already quite in love with her and nothing could make her look in the least undesirable in his eyes. And of course, her sister was an amusing, witty young lady.

Anne had become very fond of both the girls and desired to spend more time with them. She was secretly thrilled by how her son hated to think of their departure and spent hours conversing with Lizzy. He was not in love yet, and neither was she, but they were right for each other so they would work it out in the end.

Georgiana hated to say goodbye to Lizzy but it had to be done, so she reluctantly reconciled to the idea of having to spend much more time with Caroline than she desired. Maybe she could invite them over again after Mr Bingley had given his ball...

Mr Darcy was surprisingly distressed by the departure and could not imagine why he had begun to enjoy company all of a sudden. All because of a woman? Surely not! He could not be... falling in love? No, he just enjoyed having a sensible companion who did not want to marry him for his money. Yes, that was it.

As for Jane, she enjoyed her friends' company but after all, there is no place like home. Lizzy was very happy with the Darcy's, and enjoyed seeing her sister fall for Mr Bingley and he falling for her sister. But she desired to go home nevertheless, and her father's note increased her homesickness,

The next morning, Jane and Elizabeth were off back to their home, and there was silence in the carriage. Jane was thinking of how Mr Bingley had whispered, 'Visit soon.' in her ear, and Lizzy was extremely touched by the fond farewell she had received, as Anne and Georgiana had requested her to call again soon and Mr Darcy promised to call on her soon, if she did not
