Scarlett rested her head on the side of the carriage. She had just come from the bank where she had set up an account for Beau. She put enough money in it to last him for years. Now Scarlett was in her carrige going to see Ashley. When she arrived, she got out of her carrige and went to the door. She made three firm knocks. India opened the door.
"Hello, Scarlett."
"Hello India. I have come to speak business with Ashley. Is he home?"
"Yes. Follow me." Scarlett followed her into the parlor, and then India called for Ashley. Ashley came in a few moments later. Scarlett, would never forget the look on Ashley's face. He was tired and thin, and extremely pale. She couldn't believe it was him. Ashley came in and sat down on the sofa across from Scarlett.
"Ashley, I need to talk to you."
"What is it Scarlett?"
"I've set up a bank account for Beau. It's filled with enough money to buy him anything he wants. I want for you to make sure that he gets his money."
"Scarlett, you know I can't take your money."
"But, your not taking it. Beau is."
"Scarlett..."
"I'm not taking no for an answer."
"Well, I suppose we do need the money."
"Now, I'm going on a little trip. I will be gone for a long time. I want for you to take care of yourself, Ashley Wilkes. Now, I must be going. My train leaves today."
"Goodbye Scarlett. I hope you have a nice trip."
"Thankyou. Goodbye Ashley." Scarlett got up and left Ashley's house.

Because, I cannot wait any longer to revel where Scarlett goes. I have divided this part into two sections. So, if you have to go eat dinner or something then you can just come back to this place when you get done/back.

Scarlett climbed onto the train with Prissy. She was bound for Savannah. She was planning on staying with her grandfather once she got there. As she found her seat she sat down and rested her head on the window. Recently, she had not had time to think. And now that she had the time, she didn't want to think. The only thing she could think of was Rhett. And how to get him back. She sat Back and tried to think of something else. But, nothing else would come. So she decided that she would think about Savannah.
An hour and a half later she was there. Scarlett got off the train and was met by Michael. Her Grandfather's butler. Michael took her luggage and put it on the carriage and helped Scarlett in. Prissy rode in the back. When she finally got there she stood in front of the tall yellow mansion that had been her mother's home. She went in and was met by a maid.
"Hello mis'Scarlett. You' grandfather be wantin' to see you. Mah name is Lizzy."
"Hello Lizzy. Where is grandfather?"
"He's upstairs."
"Thank you." Scarlett silently went up the tall stairs and found the room in which her grandfather lay. "Hello Grandfather."
"Scarlett?"
"It's me grandfather."
"Scarlett, come here." he said firmly. Scarlett obeyed. "Well well. It's about high time you come and see me. You look just like your...father. Now, before you get settled in I want to tell you that we have rules around here. I trust that you met Lizzy."
"Yes sir. I did."
"She'll tell you all about them. If you are to remain under my roof, then you will abide by these rules. Do you understand?"
"Yes sir."
"Good. You may leave." Scarlett left. The fact that she was being bossed around did not please her, but she didn't want to get on her grandfather's bad side. So, Scarlett decided that she would go shopping. She was walking down main street when she saw a large sign that said "O'Hara General Store" she walked quickly towards it. As she entered, she felt a warm rush come over her. She went up to the counter.
"May I help you?" A man behind the counter said.
"Yes, I am looking for the owner of this fine store."
"That would be me." The man said proudly.
"Hello. I am Katie Scarlett O'Hara. My father was Gerald O'hara."
"Little Katie Scarlett?"
"It's me."
"My my. How you've grown. I knew from the moment you walked in this store that you looked familiar. You must come home with me tonight and meet the rest of the family."
"Oh I can't tonight." Scarlett said sadly. "But, I can come tommorrow!"
"Great! Why my wife will be so pleased."
"I am looking forward to it already. But, I must go now. I'll come by this time tommorrow, and I'll wait for you. And when you leave work, I go with you."
"Alright. I also shall be looking forward to it." Then Scarlett left.She was walking down the street happily not looking where she was going when she accidently bumped into someone. She turned around to say "I'm sorry" but she stopped frozen in her tracks.
"Scarlett, what a...plesent surprise." Rhett said. "I'm ever so sorry for bumping into you."
"It...It was my fault, I wasn't watching where I was going."
"Ah indeed you weren't. Well, my dear. Good day." And then she turned around and started walking in the opposite direction. Scarlett turned around and kept walking herself back to the carriage. "What is Rhett doing in Savannah?" She thought.
What will happen next?
