Okay so this story is kind of based of the book series "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants". I really have some big ideas and high hopes for this story, so I wanted to get it out there. It won't be exactly like the book, but it will have the basic story line (four friends that share magic pants. Duh) so here's the first chapter. Please tell me if you like the story.

Disclaimer: I don't own TSotTP or TDI

Once upon a time there was a pair of pants. Just a pair of dark blue jeans that were a bit faded, but still durable. They almost looked like a regular pair of blue jeans. But you could tell something was different about them. Something wondrous, innocent. I guess you could say that the pants came into our lives at random. But I liked to believe that it was fate.

I got the pants at a thrift shop. Just a regular, weird smelling store that had obnoxious fur carpeting. I usually have to go to a certain store to buy pants. My butt has a certain requirement. Not that I cared. I actually like my figure, big as it is. When I came across the pants, I just had this weird feeling to grab them. I didn't even check the size. I just brought them to the counter and bought them. It was $3.99 plus tax. But I wasn't even that serious about wearing them. I just wanted to spend some green.

When I got home I threw the pants in the back of my closet and forgot about them. But it wouldn't be the last that I saw of them.

That summer was the first summer that we all went separate ways. I was going to North Carolina to hang with my dad. Bridgette was going all the way to the other side of Canada, to the beaches of Vancouver. She was going to a soccer camp, but we all knew that she really wanted to go surf. Courtney was heading way down north to Mexico, in Puerto Vallarta. She was visiting family from her mom's side. That left Gwen, who was staying home.

We were all a pretty strange bunch. We became 'we' even before we were born. We were all born at the end of the summer. First me, at the end of August, then Bridgette at the beginning of September. After came Courtney in the middle of the month, and finally Gwen towards the very end. All of our mothers took an aerobics class for pregnant women at a place called Katie's. They were placed in the "September Group" (I came a little early). Our mothers started hanging after their classes and talking about their pregnancies. After we were born, they formed little play dates and let us bond together. Even after our mothers disbanded, we all were still close. We've been best friends ever since.

We, like our mothers, are very different people. We settled ourselves into types: Bridgette the surfer girl, Courtney the Type A, Gwen the loner, and me, LeShawna, the girl with attitude. Or the one with the bad temper, but I think I care the most. Care the most that we stay together. You want to know why? Because we love one another. We have a unique bond and friendship that can't fade.

My mom says that I should be careful. That someday everything will change. That we will all grow up and forget about each other. I assured myself that it would never happen. But I did have my doubts. Which is why I think the pants came along, that summer. Why they chose us. To keep us together.

And that summer is when the Traveling Pants were born.

Like it? Okay so this was obviously LeShawna's point of view. It may seem a little out of character, but trust me, it will get into character. I'm going to do what it does in the books (prologue is in first person view) but the rest of the story will be regular point of view. Please review and tell me if you like it.
