-------------------------------------------------------

Rory, Jess, Logan, and Tristan had been best friends since their first day of middle school. They were at the top of the food chain at Chilton Academy. The four friends ruled the school, and they knew it.

Jess was the rebel without a cause, the James Dean that every girl fell for. He just had that attitude, the devil-may-care sort of air about him, and he loved it. Jess was always the first to step in and break up a fight, or hell, sometimes even the first to start one, if the situation called for violence. He kept people in line, and when Jess Mariano was around you could bet nobody would mess with his friends.

Rory was the beautiful bookworm. She was brilliant and radiant all at once. Rory was something rare, something that was hard to find in a person. She had the biggest heart of anyone you could ever meet, but she also carried the most wit. She was the glue that held them all together, and the only girl Tristan had ever really loved. And everyone knew it, everyone except her.

Tristan was the cocky playboy. He was the one person that everyone in Chilton feared, more than Jess, more than Headmaster Charleston. And it wasn't that Tristan was threatening, or that he was a scary person, he was more or less, respected. He would do anything for his group of friends, and there were only two girls that he put above everything else. Rory Gilmore, and his baby sister Carrie.

Logan. Logan was the arguer. The debater. And Tristan's right hand man. He was cunning, and sneaky, and when it came to pulling pranks, he had a brilliance that no one else could compare to. Logan was the formulator, the planner, and when it all came down to it...the one they all turned to for advice.

The four of them would always be there for each other. Always have each other's backs. They always had.

-----------------------

It was a sunny Friday afternoon and Rory was standing at her locker, having a seemingly heated argument with Logan.

"It is not!" She said, shutting the door of her locker and raising an eyebrow at him.

Logan rolled his eyes. "And how would you know? Have you tested?" He asked, raising an eyebrow back at her and taking a step towards her.

"Well no..." She said. "But you cannot seriously think that!"

He nodded vigorously, trying to make his point clear. "Highlights Gilmore! Highlights!"

Rory shook her head. "Hair dye Logan! Hair dye!" She countered and he shook his head once again, as Tristan approached from behind the two of them.

"Do I want to know what you guys are debating?" He asked, leaning against Rory's locker, making her glance back over her shoulder at him.

"Huntzburger over here," she jabbed her thumb in Logan's direction. "Seems to think that, that is Debbie Burnett's real hair color!"

Tristan shook his head, chuckling. "Not even close dude. Debbie had brown hair last semester, and there is no way that hair could naturally be that blonde!"

Logan rolled his eyes. "Well that's for backing me up Dugrey." He said, jabbing Tristan lightly in the ribs. "Just once I'd like to actually win an argument with you Ace! Just one time!" He said, turning his attention back to Rory.

She merely shrugged, happy to once again be the winner. "So, where's Jess?" She asked, turning to Tristan as the walked out of the school.

"Detention." Both Tristan and Logan answered simultaneously.

Rory laughed, shaking her head. "I should've guessed." She said, nodding lightly. "So, since Jess is temporarily busy, which one of you wants to give me a ride home?" She asked.

Tristan nodded towards his car. "I picked Logan up this morning anyway, so it's me or walking." He said.

Rory chuckled. "I think I'll go with the first choice." She said, slinging her bag over her shoulder and walking up beside Tristan.

He glanced down. "What?" He asked and Rory gave him a pathetic looking sad smile. Tristan cocked an eyebrow. "I don't know Mary..." he started.

"Oh Tristan come on! Please!" She interrupted.

He laughed, nodding reluctantly. "All right, all right. Hop on." He said, stopping so that he could hoist her up onto his back and carry her piggyback to his car.

"I cannot believe I still do this for you. I never should've started when you sprained your ankle that week in the eighth grade." He mused, and Logan chuckled from a couple steps behind them.

"Ohh she's got you wrapped around her finger and you know it, she's got all of us." He said, winking up at Rory who smiled.

Tristan sighed. "I know it." He said, coming to a stop in front of the car, and letting Rory slide off of his back.

"Thanks for the ride Tris." She said, smiling and he nodded with a roll of his eyes.

"Anything for you Mary." He said. "Anything at all..." he trailed off, winking suggestively and Rory laughed, shaking her head at him again.

"I'm sure." She said, turning away from Tristan and to Logan. "You guys are still all staying for a movie night tonight with mom and me right?" She asked and Logan nodded.

"Hence the reason Tristan picked me up this morning." He said. "We figured we might as well just take one car, since I'm sure we'll end up crashing at your place tonight anyway, seeing as we'll probably pass out from junk food and exhaustion."

Rory nodded in agreement. "Very true. Now lets get moving. Maybe we can surprise Jess and have everything ready by the time he gets there instead of waiting for him to actually do any preparation."

Tristan laughed. "Yeah. I'm sure he'd be shocked."

Logan smiled. "I never really thought about the fact that Jess always seems to pick the movie, unless of course your mom does," he added as an afterthought. "And I guess he always goes to get the food too." He said, thinking. "Wow, what would do without that kid?"

Rory laughed. "Be forever unprepared for any and all events?" She suggested.

Tristan nodded. "That sounds about right. Come on though, we better get going if we actually plan on making it back to Stars Hollow before Jess, let alone have everything ready."

Logan nodded. "Yeah, we better go." He agreed, opening the front door for Rory, and climbing in the back himself. "And please Ace, I like the Beatles as much as the next guy, but not the same song for the full ride!" He pleaded.

Tristan chuckled from his place behind the wheel and Rory smiled evilly. "We'll see how well you behave yourself back there." She teased, and Tristan pulled out of the parking lot.
