Young women, you might even say. And though their lives traveled in different directions, they loved each other very much. Once upon a time before that, these same girls found a pair of pants, wise and magical, and named them the Traveling Pants. The Pants had the magic of teaching these girls how to be apart. They taught them how to be four people instead of one person. How to be together no matter where they were. How to love themselves as much as they loved each other. And on a practical level, the Pants had the magic of fitting all four of them, which is hard to believe but true, especially considering only one of them (the blonde) was built like a supermodel. Okay. Full disclosure. I am one of these girls. I wear these Pants. I have these friends. I know this magic. I am in fact the blonde, though I was kidding about the supermodel part.

And the girls, being extraordinary girls (if you don’t mind my saying so), learned their lesson a little too well. And so when the girls’ lives changed that final summer, the Pants, being wise, had to change too. And that is how this tale of sisterhood began, but did not end. ---------------------------------------------- Gilda’s was the same. It always was. And what a relief too, Lena found herself thinking.

Carmen, for instance, was missing. “I can’t really see how we can do this without Carmen,” Tibby said. As was the custom, she’d brought her video camera for posterity, but she hadn’t turned it on. Nobody was quite sure about when posterity started, or if maybe it already had. “So maybe we shouldn’t try,” Bee said. “Maybe we should wait until we can do it together.” Lena had brought the candles, but she hadn’t lit them. Tibby had brought the ceremonial bad eighties aerobics music, but she hadn’t put it on. Bee had gamely set out the bowls of Gummi Worms and Cheetos, but no...
