The Third Summer of the Sisterhood
by Ann BrasharesThe Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants are facing their last summer together before they go to college. Or, to be precise, four different colleges. And so they launch the Pants on their third summer voyage.
The Pants first came to us at the perfect moment. That is, when we were splitting up for the first time. It was two summers ago when they first worked their magic, and last summer when they shook up our lives once again. You see, we dont wear the Pants year-round. We let them rest so they are extra powerful when summer comes. (There was the time this spring when Carmen wore them to her moms wedding, but that was a special case.)
Now were facing our last summer together. In September we go to college. And its not like one of those TV shows where all of us magically turn up at the same college. Were going to four different colleges in four different cities (but all within four hours of one anotherthat was our one rule). Were headed off to start our real lives.
Tomorrow night at Gildas well launch the Pants on their third summer voyage. Tomorrow begins the time of our lives. Its when well need our Pants the most.

with transitions. Tibby preferred looking backward for information rather than

over a fortune-teller any day of the week. It was the cheapest and best
self-analysis around.
Tibby saw Gildas through these same eyes. It was changing. Its glory days of
the late nineteen eighties were far behind it. It was showing its age. The
once-shiny wood floor was scratched and dull. One of the mirror panels was
cracked. The mats looked as old as Tibby, and theyd been cleaned much less.
