Prettyinpinkgal: Hello! Please enjoy Chapter One!

Disclaimer: I don't own Tuck Everlasting. If I did, I would make sure that they would say, "Winnie didn't die and she and Jesse lived happily ever after." Or something like that. :)

FOSTER EVERLASTING

CHAPTER ONE: SEVENTEENTH BIRTHDAYS

Winifred Foster, commonly known as Winnie, calmly walked out of her home. Once she was out of her parents' sight, she ran for the spring in the woods. She took out her piece of paper and pen and began writing.

Reasons I Should Drink from the Spring

I will live forever

I can see Jesse

I won't be forced to marry against my wishes

I will be free to do what I want, when I want to do it

I will be able to travel the world.

After she wrote this, she created a separate list.

Reasons I Should Not Drink from the Spring

1. Everyone around me will die

2. I won't be able to stay with my family

3. I won't be able to see my friends.

Jesse might forget his promise and find someone else

There will be no turning back if I do drink the water

Not being able to think of any other reasons, Winnie groaned. "This is perfect. I thought writing a list would help me decide!"

Ever since the Tucks left, she always wondered whether she should drink the magical water or not. It was not an easy decision. She thought about what Tuck said so long ago, and would decide not to go through with it. Winnie would then think that she should do it, in order to see Jesse. When she was ten, she didn't really love him, just as a friend and a big brother. But when she turned fifteen, she started thinking about him more and more, and a blush would grace her face when she would. She realized she did love him, but still wasn't sure that she should drink the heavenly water.

"What should I do? What should I do?" Winnie asked herself. She thought about how much she would miss her parents, but she loved Jesse so much, and the Tucks may have been closer to her than her own family. She couldn't think about how lonely they are without anyone with them forever. She took a deep breath and drank the mystical water.

It was just as the Tucks described. It tasted heavenly, and she could almost feel herself become free of death. Frightened at the life-altering deed she had just performed, yet excited about seeing the Tucks again, she ran as fast as she could home.
