Authors Note: I'm actually going to finish this one. But then I've only written like one other fic, and this chapter is on the short side, like me. But they'll get longer. Priya will make sure.

Chapter One: Perfect Day

On this perfect day, Nothing's standing in my way/ On this perfect day, When nothing can go wrong/ It's the perfect day, Tomorrow's gonna come too soon/ I could stay, forever as I am

***

Perfect. It's the only way to describe today. It's sunny and warm, not too hot. When you wake up, you know that it's going to be perfect, life can't get any better. It won't, not when you live in the DuGrey house. I sigh and get out of bed; today is not going to waste. I take the back hallway to the kitchen. Don't want to risk my perfect day by running into Catherine and Philip. They hate it when I call them that. They screech, "What did you just call me?" I roll my eyes and walk away. They never do anything about it.

I peek inside the kitchen Catherine and Philip are rarely seen inside the kitchen, but they occasionally make a guest appearance, then hell breaks loose. No sign of Catherine, but there is an unidentified male reading the newspaper at the table. He coughs, nope not Phillip. Tristan. "Good morning Tris!" I greet walking into the kitchen.

"Morning Lexi,"

"I don't know why you bother reading the newspaper during vacation." I said grabbing a donut. "Don't you think it's kind of pointless? You're not supposed to care what happens when you're on vacation. The whole point of a vacation is to take a break."

"Yes, vacation is taking a break. I am taking a break and reading the newspaper."

I rolled my eyes, "You know what? You're crazy. You can just turn on the TV and get the news or the radio! AM sucks but if you want news-"

"Shut up. I'm not lazy like you."

I grinned, I found a way to get out of the house, "I feel like going to the beach. Hey, feel like driving me there?"

"No. I want to stay here. Give me a donut will you?"

I gave Tristan a donut. "Like you really want to hang around here. Come on your just being lazy because you don't want to drive me around. And you just said that you weren't lazy, so now you have to take me! Ha!" I grinned doing a little happy dance.

Tristan groaned. "I walked straight into that one didn't I? Fine, just be ready in thirty minutes or I'm leaving without you."

*

I groaned. The beach was already packed with people. "Be ready in thirty minutes," I mimicked. "You took longer than I did. I was ready with 2 minutes to spare. But no! You just had to take forty-five minutes. Way to go Tristan." I took off my flip-flops and looked for somewhere to sit.

"Hey, you know what? Maybe we should just go home," Tristan chuckled.

"Oh no. We're here, there's no way I am going back. Besides I've found the perfect spot." I grinned spreading out the blanket I had with me. "You didn't need that extra fifteen minutes. I bet you took that time doing nothing. You just did that so when we got to the beach it would be crowded. You think I'd whine and complain and want to go home. But I don't."

Tristan laughed, "Okay, so I tried. I didn't think you'd whine but it is fun to watch you be annoyed." Tristan took off his shirt, " I'm going to go into the water. Are you coming?"

I shook my head,

"No, I want to tan. You go on ahead. Meet some girl and go make out with her."

"Very cute," Tristan made a face.

"Hey, have you been working out? You look hot. Maybe you'll be two girls and you guys will have a threesome. Or! Or you can be like Kelso and have a sex circle," I teased.

"Never tell me I look hot again. It's weird coming from you," Tristan said before heading out to the ocean.

"But you know it's true!" I shouted after him.

I rolled over onto my back. Perfect weather. It hadn't gotten too hot yet. I closed my eyes and drunk in the warmth. This reminds me of a couple years back, Tristan and I spent the weekend with-

A shadow covered the sunlight. "Lexi? Is that you?" My eyes opened. I squinted I couldn't see. I put up a hand to shade my eyes. I saw a familiar brunette looking at me with dark blue eyes. It was Rory Gilmore!

I sat straight up. "Rory? Oh my god! Hi!"

"Wow! I haven't seen you for such a long time! How are you?" Rory grinned.

"I'm doing good. It's so good to see you!" I said giving Rory a hug. "How are you?"

"I'm good... so...um... so, how's- Tristan hi."

Great. This is going to be a hell of a show.
