Disclaimer: I own not a thing that you recognize, however I do own some new characters.

Just a FYI, this is a remake of a last story I had started to write but I didn't really like how I had written it so I'm just starting fresh but with the same characters but more time to develop relationships before the big stuff starts to happen. So bear with me and enjoy the ride along the way.

Summary: Halloween has always been celebrated among the Gilmore Girls and residents of Stars Hollow but this year, someone isn't playing a game. It is a matter of survival.

Chapter 1

"ABBY!" Rory stood at the base of the staircase and yelled up them. "We are gonna be late it you don't move your butt!"

"I'm coming, calm down." Abby's voice floated down to her twin as she walked down the upstairs hallway. She skipped down the stairs two at a time and smirked at her sister. "See, told you."

Rory rolled her eyes. "One of these days you're going to break something coming down those stairs the way you do and I'm just going to sit here and laugh and laugh."

Abby just tossed her long hair over her shoulder and walked into the kitchen, Rory in tow.

"Hey Mom!" the sisters said in unison, Abby getting juice from the fridge and Rory pouring herself some coffee.

Lorelai put her hand over her heart and sighed exaggeratedly. "I don't think I'll ever get sick of that twin double-talk. It's just so sweet." She pretended to wipe a tear underneath her eye. She walked to the counter and grabbed her daughters' napkins with Pop Tarts in them and handed them off to each of them.

"Thanks Mom." They said.

"God you kill me!" Lorelai teased. "Alright you loinfruit; to Luke's!" She announced, her arm raised in the air holding her purse.

Abby looked at her watch. "We don't have time for Luke's! If we don't leave now we're going to miss our bus."

All three of the Gilmore Girls looked at each other for a second then bolted for the door. As they walked out, Lorelai said, "That's it. We have to wake up earlier."

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

Rory listened to the teacher as she lectured them on each of the parts found in a cell. She meticulously took perfect notes while half listening to what was actually being said. Suddenly a poke to the middle of her back broke her concentration. Sighing in exasperation, she ignored it.

Five minutes later another poke came. She squirmed in her seat unconsciously. Hearing a snicker behind her caused her to sit on the edge of her seat to distance herself as much as possible.

But soon enough not only pokes came but a voice. "Maaaary." He whispered.

Rory closed her eyes and breathed through her nose to not snap at him in the middle of class. She looked at her watch.

Ten minutes.

She could handle that. Ten minutes was nothing. She just had to endure ten minutes until lunch. She straightened her paper and continued writing down information about the Endoplasmic Reticulum.

Poke.

Her eye twitched. "Mary, I know you can hear me."

That's it.

She leaned back in her chair and slightly turned her neck. "What. Do. You. Want?!"

Tristan Dugray smirked at her annoyed tone. "Did you miss me over the weekend?"

She raised an eyebrow disdainfully and turned to face him. "Oh yeah. In between all the time I spent with Dean, you know my boyfriend, I just sat by myself thinking how much I missed you and how I couldn't wait until today to see you." She turned back around and focused her attention again.

"Well at least you admit it."

She could hear the smirk in his voice and it took all the self-control she had not smack him across his arrogant face.

The rest of the period passed without any interruptions but as the bell rang Rory hurried to gather her books and ran out the door without a backwards glance. Suddenly a hand grabbed her arm and pulled her into a dark closet.

"Now Mary, why do you keep doing this to yourself?" Tristan had his hand held up against her mouth to stifle the scream that would have come out. "The more you fight it, the more your defenses are weakening." He removed his hand but pressed his hips into her, pinning her against the wall.

"Tristan. I have a boyfriend and I know you don't care but come on. Stop throwing yourself at me. Isn't it a little embarrassing by now?" she tried the pitying approach.

"Ha! Oh Mary, listen to you trying to get the upper hand. It's cute, you know that?" Tristan began to stroke her upper arm with the back of his fingers.

"No, you wanna know what's cute though?" she whispered in his ear, giving him a chill.

His voice was dangerously low and husky when he eventually did speak. "What?"

"Having bruised balls." She whispered into his ear as she raised her knee into his crotch and ignored his groan of pain while he lost balance. She shoved him away from her and tried to find the doorknob. As she found it she practically spilled out into the hallway, almost landing on Abby.

She looked at Rory with wide eyes. "Hey Ror. Whacha doing in there?" she chuckled.

Rory straightened her uniform and hitched up her bag. "Let's not talk about it." She linked her arm in her twin's and walked to the cafeteria.

Seeing Paris, the girls made their way through the babbling crowds of students and sat down. "Hey Paris."

"Hey." She didn't even look up from the book she had her nose in.

A distraction in the form of a text message presented itself to Abby. 'HEY HUN, MOVIE NIGHT TONIGHT. TELL RORY, INVITE WHO YOU WANT. –YOUR CREATOR'

"Hey we're having a movie night tonight."

Rory looked up from her mashed potatoes. "We are?"

"Yep, Mom just texted me." She waved her phone for emphasis. "Paris are you free tonight?" she asked.

"Are you kidding? It's a Monday night first of all. And secondly, I'm not going to go to Stars Hollow on a school night just to have to drive home at God knows when. I'm gonna pass."

A beat went by.

"Thanks though."

Both girls smiled. "Sure thing."

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

In the parking lot Tristan leaned against the hood of his car, his jacket in his backseat and he had unbuttoned his top two shirt buttons and loosened his tie. His casual stance and appearance attracted Summer, unfortunately.

"Hey baby. How've you been?" she purred as she leaned into him.

Tristan grimaced. "Summer, you broke up with me! I don't want anything to do with you or your STD-ridden body ever again." He shoved her off him.

She landed ungracefully and threw her nastiest death glare at him. He didn't even bat an eyelash at her. "Get out of here Summer. Go try to seduce some of the freshman boys. They're the only ones you haven't had a piece of, right?" he smirked at her pissed face. But she stalked off and revealed a blonde student standing behind her.

"Dude. You're my hero." Joey Dugray praised his older brother. He hopped up on the hood of the car. "That girl needs to go crawl in a hole." Tristan raised an eyebrow at his brother. "Well, don't get me wrong," he sputtered. "She's hot but seriously I think every guy in my grade has done her as well as the upperclassmen."

Tristan laughed at Joey. "Chill, I know what you meant. I hope she finally gets that I don't want her."

"Anymore." Joey grumbled.

Tristan grinned and grabbed his brother's head in a headlock. "What was that?"

"Kidding! You only have the hots for one girl now. And it's only a tad obvious." Tristan let Joey go.

"It is?" he grew a little concerned.

Joey gave him a look. "Tristan, you only bother her in every class you have with her and you force her into closets with you?" Tristan shifted uncomfortably. Joey noticed and laughed at him. "Yeah, people talk."

"Yeah well," Tristan scratched the back of his head to have something to do with his hands. "I'm only messing with her. There is totally a difference. Come on. I don't mean…" he trailed off.

Joey looked at him sympathetically.

"Shit." Tristan concluded.

I really wanted to rewrite what I had written before because I couldn't continue with the way I had started. My writing style has changed, I think. Also, I reworked how I'm gonna write the story and I can expand a lot more that I would have been able to before. Anyway, please tell me what you think!! REVIEW!
