CHAPTER 1
Effects of a Sunny Day


It was a wonderful sunny day in Stars Hollow and Lorelai was outside laying in a hammock - asleep. This could be dangerous. Luke walked up slowly and incredibly quite towards Lorelai. He bent over and gave her a gentle kiss on the cheek. Lorelai sprang up and flailed her arms everywhere, hitting luke in the face and the stomach along the way.

"OW! Loreali, what was that for?!"

"Oh my gosh, Luke! I'm so sorry! You just startled me and I didn't know who or what it was that kissed - wait, did you kiss me?" Lorelai suddenly got a very confused look on her face

"What? Me? Kiss you? Never..." Luke said with a very sly smile on his face

"Lu-" Lorelai started but she got interuppted

"I have to get back to the diner, bye"

And with that Luke ran out of Lorelais' backyard and back to his truck. Lorelai gave a little smile accompined by a little joy dance and then got back in her hammock and took a drink out of her margarita.


MEANWHILE AT CHILTON

Rory sat there her chin rested upon her hand, staring out the class room window thinking to herself how much she wanted to be out of this class and outside laying in the grass.

English was so incredibly boring, how could her mother date someone so boring? His voice droned on and on and on, I'm going to have to have a talk with my mother and make sure her eyes and ears work...

Rory's thoughts were interuppted by the sound of the school bell and chairs scraping back quickly.

"YES! FREEDOM!" Rory yelled.

The few people left in the classroom and Mr. Medina looked at her with an odd look. Rory could feel her face getting warm and she quickly put her books in her bag and left the room before anyone could ask her questions. Rory wasn't looking forward to going to her locker, she didn't enjoy Paris being mad at her, she didn't quite understand how someone could be so grumpy all the time, then she thought of Luke - but she considered that it was all an act and that Luke was really a big cuddly teddy bear. Rory let out a little giggle.
"What are you laughing at Gilmore?" Paris demanded


Oh great, miss Sunshine herself...

"Hello Paris, it's always such a exciting moment for me when we speak" Rory said with a fake smile on her face

"Whatever loser"

"Nice come back, but didn't they stop using 'loser' as an insult back in 1997? Yep, I'm pretty sure they did" Rory said with a smug face

"Whatever Gilmore, just stay out of my face" with that Paris slammed her locker shut and stormed off, but what Paris didn't notice was that she slammed her locker so hard that it didn't close all the way, which meant that it wasn't locked and open to the public...

"Rory! Hey how's it going?" Tristan asked cheerfully

"Hey Tristan!" Rory replied calmy

Tristan looked her confused

"Your being nice to me, no insult?"

"Tristan Tristan Tristan, don't you listen? Remember I told you that if you were nice to me and called me by my actual name, then I would be nice back?"

"Oh right, sorry I forgot about that!"

"It's okay, don't worry about it. So whats up?" Rory asked even nicer

"Not much. I was just wondering if you were going to the senior basketball game tonight"

"Um...." Rory bit her lip while thinking of an answer and she noticed the sparkle in Tristan's eyes get brighter and a relaxed smile slide onto his face.

"My mom has the jeep tonight, she's got a night course, so I don't think I can go"

"You need a ride?" Tristan asked eagerily

"Yes..." Rory answered carefully

"Oh no problem, I can give you a ride"

"Okay, cool. Do you still remember where my house is?"

"Of course I do, how could I forget?" Tristan let out a little laugh "I'll see you later Rory"
"okay" Rory said as she closed her locker

Tristan noticed that the locker beside Rory's was open

"Who's locker is that?" Tristan said surprised

"What? Oh, That's paris's"

"She left it open"

"I noticed, but I don't care" Rory said hurridly

Tristan opened the locker and started going through it but stopped with a pink notebook fell out. He opened it and started reading.

"April 13th, 2001. Dear Journal..." but Tristan got interuppted by Rory

"Tristan, you shouldn't be reading that" Rory said quickly and tried to grab Paris's journal from his hands. But she was unsucessful as he jumped backwards. Straight into the door of the open locker. It slammed shut and locked.

"Great, now what are you going to do?" Rory said very angry

"Don't worry about it mary! She won't get mad at me, it says in here she can't!" Tristan smiled and walked away.

"what time are you picking me up?" Rory yelled

"5 o'clock!" Tristan yelled back

Rory sighed and headed for the bus stop.
