_________________________________________

Cordelia Belle Kingsley or more
commonly known as Belle Kingsley is
a very kind girl. Always putting
others needs before her own. She is loved by all of Avonlea so it was not a surprising fact
when they were all sad to hear the news of her moving. Her father William Kingsley
had gotten a job offer in his hometown in London. Not wanting to pass up an opportunity
to go back home, he had taken the job.

This decision was especially hard on the
Eight year olds Gilbert, Billy and Belle. The boys had never taken a liking to each
other but Belle had always been the mediator for the two.

Billy was of course sad, he was losing his best friend but for Gilbert he was not only
loosing his best
friend but also the only mother
figure in his life, Rose Kingsley, Belle's mother.

Rose had met Gilbert's
mother when she was fourteen after she had moved from her home in France. The two girls quickly became best friends doing everything together, practically becoming attached at the hip. They had both gotten pregnant roughly around
the same time, Gilbert only being born a
week after Belle. Rose was always kind hearted and generous and luckily she had passed those genes
over onto her children.

Rose also had another child, a son. His name is Fredrick William Kingsley. Even when
Fred was young he had absolutely despised the name Fredrick and while Fred wasn't much better he certainly preferred it over his full name. Even though
he was only older than Belle by two years, making him eleven, he had always been very protective
over her.

William and Mr. Andrews had
become best friend the moment they had met, and were both very pleased to see their children following the same path. The two had already been setting up their children's future wedding/business agreement. In their minds Belle was to marry Billy and Fredrick was meant to marry Prissy.

The three children were
Eight years old when one had to leave. They had promised each other to write
constantly and to everybody but their own surprise, they did. Writing to each other every day
that they could. For six years the three friends wrote constantly.

Writing about their ups and downs
and how school had been going. The young boys finding comfort in her words. The two
boys had slowly began noticing the change in how she had worded thing in her letters. They had no longer been able to find the old happiness
that used to overflow from the black ink
of her written words.

They brushed it off thinking she
had begun to feel homesick.

What she hadn't told them was that
three years into living in London, the sweet
and loving Rose had fallen ill.
For Two years she had fought the
illness to no avail.

She had lost.

And William found no one else better to blame than his own daughter, finding a sickening comfort in her pain. The pain he had been inflicting upon her himself.

Fred having been older was an apprentice for a medical botanist and after his mother died he decided to throw himself into studying and working than fully accepting her death. His constant isolation and keeping away from the rest of the family caused him to be oblivious to abuse his sister was experiencing.

The two boy lovesick boys that were left behind in Avonlea wondered if they
would ever get to see their kind hearted friend again. That is until they had received
another letter from her. Nothing seemed out
of the ordinary, it was just a letter.
But the contents inside was much
different. The description of her day
was there no longer. For dramatic
suspense all the girl had written was..

"See you soon."

Heheh so how was that
This definitely won't be my last story but it isn't my first I have a thing called an imagination but I can't control mine so it constantly creates new stories for me to write.

The not so fancy explanation for anyone confused about Gilbert's family and Rose being his moms best friend. Remember this is beneficial to my story so it may not seem entirely accurate.

Gilbert's mother and Rose met when they were 14 in Alberta. William had went looking for a job there and met Rose and fell in love. John Blythe had settled in Alberta and fell in love with Gilbert's mother. They had a couple of sons together. Gilbert's mother soon realized she was pregnant once again and then Rose and William realized they too were pregnant.

(I never read the books so I don't know whether they gave an explanation as to how Gilbert's siblings had died but let's pretend he never met them and they died before he was born.)

The best friends were ecstatic to find out their children will grow up together and be as close friends as they are.

Belle was born one week before Gilbert.

When Gilbert's mother died while giving birth they stayed in Alberta for a year. The memory's had begun to become too much for them and so they moved to Avonlea. 

John and Gilbert moving back into johns old home. William, Fred, Rose and Belle moved into an old mansion William had bought. There William met Mr. Andrews and they became best friends along with their families.

And the rest I guess is history. All these chapters are most likely prewritten depending on if I go with that plan or not so if I think I need anymore detail I'll probably add it if not there you go
