Feedback: I live for feedback. It is the air I breathe, the drink I sip, the food I chew, etc, I think you get the point. Constructive Criticism is fine

Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I don't own GG. If I owned GG, Dean would die or something of the sort, Tristan would still be there, Luke and Lorelai would already be together, etc.:) I love this show. I also give the A Walk to Remember soundtrack credit for the songs. The first one is by Shane West called What Does it All Mean. The second is by Mandy Moore I'll Always Remember. The third is Mandy Moore and Jonathan Foreman called Someday We'll Know. And the last song is If You Believe by Rachel Lampa.

Summary: Rory has to go on a school seminar, a week with Chiltonites. What happens there and what happens when she comes home? It's a Trory and a Jory. There is a tiny bit of R/D but luckily I end that quickly. Also, some L/L.

Classification: Romance and Drama also Humorous

Chapter 1 Frustrations, Coffee, and Dancing

Rory Gilmore slammed her locker. " Stupid, stupid locker! Stupid books! Stupid school! Stupid homework! AAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!" She screamed out as she felt a hand on her shoulder.

" So much hostility, Mary." She whirled to see who the hand and voice belonged to, as if she didn't already know.

" Tristan DuGray! What are you doing here?"

" I'm baaaccccckkkkk..."

" Obviously, but how? I thought you were shipped off to military school, far away, far out of my life."

" I got out on good behavior. I've been so good, Dad decided I'd had enough punishment. Not happy to see me, Mar?" Rory snorted. " I'm supposed to believe that you of all people got out on good behavior."

" Well, I did." The bell rang. " Great seeing you, Tristan. I'm off now." Rory turned and fled down the hall. Tristan's heart pounding and memories of why was so good at military school. One thing had hit him in his life, something that made him reflect on who he really was. Rory Gilmore.

Mrs. Metcalfe announced, " We will be attending a special camp next week. It's like a school workshop. It's in Ashaway, Rhode Island. All must attend. Here are the details and permission slips." Rory groaned. " Problem, Miss Gilmore?"

" No, Mrs. Metcalfe." When the bell rang, Rory ran to the bus, leaving Chilton behind.

Rory slammed the door. " Hey, babe. Bad day?"

Rory nodded, " Like you wouldn't believe. Come, I'll fill you in." Rory recapped her day to her mother while changing out of her uniform into her cloud pajamas. " You deserve ice cream."

" I know, with tons and tons of chocolate syrup. Heck, forget the ice cream, just give me the chocolate syrup." Lorelai grinned, " Definitely." Lorelai went to fix themselves ice cream while Rory got out her homework.

*5 hours later*

Rory stretched and looked at the clock. 9:47 P.M. " MOM! I need coffee!"

Lorelai nodded and went to fix her a cup.

" Whoa..."

" What is it, Mom?"

" We're out of coffee." Lorelai was staring blankly into the empty cupboard.

" We're out of coffee?"

" We're out of coffee. What do I do, Rory? What do I do?"

" Ok, don't panic. First, we'll go to Luke's."

" But we're in our pajamas. I don't want to change."

" So, we'll go in our pj's. It's not like Luke or Jess will really care." Lorelai agreed and they raced to the jeep in their pajama's and slippers.

CLOSED! " NO! They are not closed! Lukey, Lukey open up for Lorelai and Rory. We need coffee! Luuuuukkkkkkey!" Rory, in the meantime, threw a rock at Jess's window. He opened it quickly, " What, Ror?" Lorelai turned amazed.

" Why won't Luke open up for us?"

" He's in the back, doing inventory."

" Let us in Jess."

" Nope, we're closed." Rory pouted. "OK, OK."

Jess shut the window. Lorelai smirked, "Nice system, Rory."

" Yeah, yeah. Shut up. It's getting us coffee, isn't it?" Jess unlocked Luke's and let them in. " Nice pajama's Rory, Lorelai." Rory smiled at her cloud pajamas. Luke was back from the storage room. " I don't believe that you have coffee pajamas Lorelai."

" Are you surprised, Lukey?"

" No, not from the obsessed caffiene addict you are." Rory plopped on one the barstools. " Coffee, Luke, please."

" Bad day, Rory?" She nodded.

" Coming right up. In the meantime, tell Dr. Luke and Dr. Deliquent what happened?"

Rory sighed, " Well, I got up late this morning. I had to rush around trying to get to the bus on time. Then, my locker wouldn't open. Paris assigned to me this article about the sewage system of Hartford. Yes, the sewage system. Plus, Tristan DuGray is back. Thanks, Luke."

" Wait, Evil One? I thought he had been shipped to Military school."

Lorelai smiled, " Yep, Bible boy is back."

" Anyways, we have to go on this weeklong school seminar in Ashaway, Rhode Island. A deserted little town with tons of evil Chiltonites, that includes Tristan and Paris." Rory stared glumly at her mug. Luke watched her sulk, his fatherly concern kicked in. Even though Rory wasn't his daughter, he wanted to cheer her up.

" You know what, Rory? I know you and Lorelai have been dying to dance around the diner and you can dance with any c.d. of your choice. I'll let you."

Rory's eyes lit up, " Seriously, Luke?"

" Seriously." She jumped off the barstool and searched for her A Walk to Remember soundtrack. She popped it into Luke's c.d. player and turned the volume up. She glanced at Lorelai, " Ready?"

" SING, SHANE WEST, SING!" Rory flipped to track 11 and the music started. Soon Shane West's voice rang through the air. Lorelai and Rory jumped around singing along.

The day I first met you

Well I thought you were quite funny

Your eyes are so darn blue

Your smile was a drug

What does it all mean?

To find someone who makes you cry for her time

The players on her team

How could I smile when all she did was say hi

Then one day when he's gone

I'll get my chance to ask her out

And then I'll show my colorful life

My colorful life

Tristan stepped up to Miss Patty. " Excuse me, Ma'm. Do you know where Rory Gilmore is? I went to her house, but she wasn't there."

" Well, she's probably at Luke's Diner."

" The diner that says it's a hardware store? The sign said it was closed."

" Yes, dear, but that won't matter for Rory or Lorelai. They'll be there most likely, whether it's closed or not. Luke lets them come whenever they want to come. He is their provider of coffee and food. Luke and Lorelai are good, good friends. Rory also talks to Luke's nephew. It really is a shame too, she's such a good girl. He'll be a bad influence on her, I'm sure."

Tristan nodded politely.

" Thanks ma'm." He fled to his car.



Miss Patty quickly dialed Sookie up. " There is a blond teenage God driving a blue mercedes benz asking around for Rory. Any idea who?"

" No, Miss Patty. I'll find out if Dean knows him." The two women hung up. Sookie dialed Dean. "Dean,it's Sookie St. James. Do you know a blond boy who drives a blue Mercedes Benz."

" No, why?"

" He's been asking for Rory."

" NO! It couldn't be. Where's Rory?"

" Probably at Luke's."

" Thanks, Sookie." Dean hung up and made his way to Luke's.
