Finn was standing there, in his gallery in SoHo. He was contemplating a giant black and white picture of a bare stomach while a pretty little aboriginal girl was whirling like a ballerina around him. When the ring of his cell phone took him out of his reverie.

"Finn Morgan." He said waiting for an answer.

"Hello Mr Morgan, it's Kristin. Mr Hayden just called and said that he had received the invitation card and that they'll be happy to be here tonight. They're pleased to see you again."

"Thank you."

There are names, some words in life which bring you back in a land, a place, a cloudless period, a time when you were happy. Hayden was one of these names. Le Rosey, coffee, Mazzy Star, macaroon, Butte Montmartre, bobby pin, Corona Borealis, Tokyo... each one of these words always bring me back to her. And for a few minutes, a few hours, we are together, she's there.

8 YEARS EARLIER

"Daddy! Would you let go of me? We're gonna come back for christmas anyway." Rory said while her father was holding her tight. "Mum! Tell him to let go of me."

"Lor' why did I agree for this? I've always swore that I'd never be like my parents and now I'm sending off my kids to Switzerland." Christopher asked to Lorelei still holding her daughter.

"The difference here is that Tay' and I are both happy to leave. Besides you agreed because swiss boarding schools gave the best education and we can meet people from all over the world." Rory replied instead of her mother.

"Thanks hun' I can feel the love. And you're wrong. If your dad has accapted to let you go, it's just because he can't say no to those big blue eyes. So you can say thank you to mummy. " Lorelei rectified while Rory rolled her eyes.

"Those eyes mean trouble. I swear you and your mother will be the end of me."

"Where is Tay'? You're gonna miss your flight."

"He's at Starbucks. Silly boy left without taking any coffee this morning."

"I'm not even sure that he's my son anymore. Chris, do you have anything to share?" Lorelei joked.

"Lor'..."

"Starbucks sucks! This coffee tastes like dishwater." Taylor arrived cutting his father off.

"Nevermind! The kid just passed the ultimate test."

Christopher had grew up with Lorelei and couldn't picture a time when he wasn't in love with her. It always had been the plan. Marry her and start a family. It just happened sooner than expected. Ideally, they would have discovered the world, they would have gone to college first. But Lorelei was pregnant with the twins at only sixteen and they had decided to runaway without a word, afraid of their parents' reaction. Straub and Francine Hayden never forgave them but Richard and Emily Gilmore had never stopped to look for them until that they finally found them. Richard offered a job to Christopher at the insurance company and he accepted it. It wasn't his dream job but he was happy to do it as long as he could be with Lorelei, Rory and Taylor.

"Guys I'm gonna miss you so much." Rory said with teary eyes. "I hate goodbyes!"

"It's not too late to call Chilton and say that you stay." Christopher suggested. "Just saying."

"Dad!" Taylor said with a warning tone.

"Alright. I guess you're leaving."

"Come on! Group hug." Lorelei exclaimed while everyone joined her.

They stayed interlacing together, cherishing their last moment as a family before a long time. It was the first time that Rory and Taylor were leaving the family mansion without their parents.

"Rory time is up!" Taylor said before they took their luggages.

"Wait!... Take care of your sister, okay?" Christopher said looking right into his son's eyes.

"Don't worry dad."

"Are you kidding me? I'm the reasonable one here." Rory complained.

"I know but with your eyes I still need him to scare the hell out of all those horny teenagers."

"Yeah right!" Rory said shaking her head.

"Don't listen to him hun'. I'd love to have a sexy british son in law or maybe a french one. God guys with accent are so sexy!" Lorelei said making Christopher and Taylor laugh.

"Mum calm down! I don't have time for this. I want to go to Yale remember?"

"That's my girl!" Christopher said cheerfully.

"You're such a nerd!" Taylor said to Rory.

"Don't be ridiculous Rory. Your grandfather can pull some strings for you. At least I hope so. Otherwise how do you think your brother could have a decent education." Lorelei mocked her son.

"Hey! I'm not that bad."

"It's funny because it's not that El duce, our common friend Charleston, said to me a month ago."

"Whatever." Taylor mumbled.

Taylor and Rory were opposites but couldn't stay away from each other. She was serious and prudish. He was carefree and shameless. They spent their time bickering but loved each other more than anything.

"Here's your ticket. I'm sorry your seats are not nearby because I took them at last minute."

"Great!" Rory said sarcastically.

"I love you! Don't break too much hearts!" Lorelei said after that she kissed on the cheek her children for the last time.

"We'll try."

"Now you two stick together no matter what. I told you, there's nothing in this world that you two can't overcome together." Christopher said. "And be safe."

Rory was comfortably sat, headphones in her ears, listening to old Coldplay songs (she didn't like the new ones) while reading The Stranger by Albert Camus. She twisted a tawny lock around her finger as she was about to turn to the next page.

"That would be my seat Love!"

"I'm sorry what did you just say?" Rory raised her head after she took off her headphones.

"I said that you're on my... Good Lord! What a marvellous creature! And to think that I was going to take the jet!"

Although she was annoyed, she couldn't help but notice his aussie accent. It was sexy and not to thick. Over and above the fact that he was hot as hell. He was athletic with a perfect olive skin and messed-up chesnut hair. His eyes were sea green or maybe they were slate grey, she didn't figure it out yet. and his parted lips let appear a shining smile. Her facial expression said 'I'm trouble but try me it worths it!'. He was outwardly cocky.

"What a pity!" Rory sighed.

"And she's sarcastic. Bloody hell Kitten, you're hot!"

"And you're arrogant and full of yourself." Rory got impatient.

"I would have said charming and confident but hey, whatever you say."

"Where the hell is Taylor?"

"Sorry Love, but who is Taylor? Please tell me he's not your boyfriend, that would crush my heart." Finn said theatrically with hands clasped together in front of him.

"I don't have time for any kind of distraction. Tay' is my twin." Rory explained hoping he would let her alone.

"Fantastic! There are two of them!"

"Back off dude!" Taylor interrupted them.

"And you are?" Finn asked without looking at him. He was too busy to undress Rory with his eyes.

"Jackass!"

"Nice to meet you. I'm Finn Morgan." Finn and replied wittily with a smirk finally looking at Taylor, holding his hand out to him while Rory tried to keep a straight face but couldn't help but let a giggle escape.

"Actually this is Taylor, my twin brother." Rory introduced him.

"Jesus bloody Christ! Way to ruin my fantasy Love!"

A/N : So I'm really sorry for the grammatical mistakes I'm french so english is not my first language, hope there aren't too many.

A/N : What did you think? I tried to make the characters not too OCC even if it's very AU. Also I pictured Taylor as Chace Crawford when he played Nate Archibald in the first season of Gossip girl. Alexis Bledel and him would be the perfect twins don't you think?

A/N : I'd continue if you like it so let me know! Leave a review don't be a stranger! I won't update if you don't tell me to, I mean what would be the point
