A/N- Thanks to all the reviewers! I really love you all! Raina, I see you read the one shot called A Meeting I posted for you. Since so many readers asked for it, I WILL continue the story, though the updates might be a bit wacky thanks to these half yearly exams that don't permit me to write as much as I would like. Lilies of Avonlea, your one shot might take a bit longer since I am yet to read Anne of the Green Gables, but I think I will post it before this story is over.

Elizabeth later thought to inform her older sister of what had occurred between herself and Wickham, and narrated the entire tale of misunderstandings.

'It is a sad affair, to be sure but surely it could be made up now?', said the peacemaking lady with a troubled look.

'That is precisely I would have thought you would say, Jane, but Mr Wickham feels that the situation would be humiliating to himself, for he is certain that Mr Darcy would not be gracious at all, and that his pride would not allow him to acknowledge the possibility of a misunderstanding.'

'That is not the impression I had of Mr Darcy. Surely not even someone as amiable as Mr Bingley would be such close friends with a man who is so proud and disagreeable!'

'I sense that you shall speak of nothing but Mr Bingley for a while to come, so I shall oblige you by feigning interest in the chosen topic, provided you promise to ask him about this affair the next time you meet him, for surely he will know of something that so closely concerns his dear friend.'

Jane chose to ignore the first part of her sisters' speech, and spoke only of the second, though an involuntary blush spread over her face.

'Of course I shall ask Mr Bingley, and you too must question Mr Darcy himself, for who better than the concerned gentlemen to clear up this misunderstanding.'

'He might be shocked at my curiosity, and find it unladylike.'

'I remember you proclaiming that you cared not what he thought of you.', teased Jane.

'So I did, Jane, but I feel that I owe him the basic civilities of society now. We were but children then, but ow we have debts to the society.', said Elizabeth gravely.

'Lizzy, you are not in love with Mr Darcy, are you? You do realize that he would never offer for you, fearing that his reputation may be tarnished by such low connections? I don't want you to be heartbroken, my dear.', said Jane, the concern evident on her face.

'I am not at all in love with Mr Darcy... yet. But I cannot deny that there is some rather strange attraction between us, and he certainly is as agreeable a gentleman as any I've ever met, though he is a bit reserved. As for his offering for me, though, I believe nothing would stop him if he truly loved me, and if he didn't I'm better off without him in my life. Its just as well that we have such inferior connections, for only a gentleman who truly loved us would ask for our hand despite this.'

'Oh Lizzy! I warn you, nevertheless, to not fall in love with Mr Darcy if you can help it. He might return your affection, but only think of how Lady Anne, the daughter of an earl would feel about her only son connecting himself to our family, who can offer neither wealth nor connections.'

'I don't believe Anne would mind it at all, if she were certain that her son loved me truly, for having found her own true love, she would not dream of denying her son the same pleasure. But you worry needlessly, Jane dear. Neither of us are yet in love, and nothing might come of our friendship. And should we love one another, Mr Darcy would not hesitate to propose any more than Mr Bingley would to ask for your hand very soon, for it is obvious he is smitten.'

'You know the Darcys better than I do, so I shall not argue upon this point any longer, for as you say, unless there is any real affection between you two, this point is entirely insignificant. Though I would not count on Mr Bingley proposing if I were you.'

'Jane! Whatever can you mean to say by that! Of course he will propose. His social standing would not be as affected by connection to our family as Mr Darcy's would, for no one pays much attention to his actions yet, other than mothers of single daughters.'

'Do you truly believe so Lizzy? Would it not greatly increase his position in society were he to marry a wealthy heiress? And of course, many heiresses are very beautiful and accomplished, much more so than I am. I know he likes me, but will he ever like me well enough to want to marry me?', asked Jane apprehensively.

'If he does not, then he is not worth your love, my dearest sister!', assured Elizabeth lovingly, as they parted for the night.

A/N- Here it is folks! I've just started writing my first non fan fiction story called Inside My Head at Fictionpress under the same pen name, Aphrodite in Disguise. Could some of you drop by with feedback? I'd really like to know how I'm doing. Thank you!
