A/N: this may be my last chapter for awhile…I'm not sure. I'm not really liking the way this story is going so I'll probably take a break from it if that's okay with everyone. Let me know.

Anyways…on with the bad story…

"So do you think that Twister and Rachel are hanging out?" Adam asked.

"I don't know…I hope so. I mean she definitely likes him and he seems to like her," Kelsey shrugged.

Adam nodded. "But I heard that she likes that other guy too."

Kelsey laughed at the fact that he wouldn't say the name Timmy Kline even though he was friends with Timmy before he had found out that he had been alone in a room with Rachel.

"Yeah, she did but I don't know she told me she didn't anymore," Kelsey shrugged.

"Do you know why?" Adam asked curiously.

"Nope…" Kelsey shrugged again.

"Okay…whatever. So anyway…are you excited for homecoming?" Adam asked nervously.

"Yeah…I think we're gonna have a lot of fun. Don't you?" she asked with her stomach flipping at the mere idea of dancing closely to Adam.

"Of course we will. We have fun no matter what we're doing," Adam smiled shyly.

"I have to admit…I didn't think you were going to ask me," Kelsey said and she could feel her cheeks lighting up. Why had she said that?

"Why not?" Adam asked.

"I don't know…I liked you but I didn't think it was likely because I mean you're best friends with my older brother," Kelsey explained feeling extremely embarrassed.

"I didn't know you liked me until last week," Adam admitted.

"Who did you find out from?" Kelsey asked curiously.

"Lori told me I should ask you and I wanted to know why she said that so she told me that you wanted me to. And I asked how she knew and she told me she knew because you liked me," Adam told her.

"Lori told you? I'm going to kill her!" Kelsey said getting to her feet.

Adam grabbed her hand just as she was about to set off, pulling her back to the bench. "It doesn't matter because now it's out there. And I'm glad."

Kelsey cautiously looked at him and saw his eyes smiling at her.

Before she knew what was going on his face was coming toward hers and suddenly his lips were upon hers in her first kiss. She didn't know that a boy's lips could be so soft and inviting.

Adam pulled his head back from hers and grinned at the shocked yet pleased look on her face. "If I didn't know then that wouldn't have happened."

Twister sat there in shock as he held a sobbing Rachel in his arms.

"It's going to be okay," he whispered holding her tight.

He didn't know what to do. What does one do in that situation?

"Rach…I have to do something about this," he told her.

"No Twister! You promised!" she begged with watery eyes.

"I can't just sit here and let that jackass get away with this!" Twister protested.

"Please…just let it go. I don't want to get into a big thing over this…I just want to forget about it," she pleaded.

Twister knew it was the wrong thing to do but he saw the desperate look in her eyes. "I promise."

"Thank you," she whispered with another tear running down her cheek.

"Rach…you should tell someone though. Your mom or your dad…or even my mom or dad," Twister advised.

"No, and you promised not to either," Rachel said firmly.

"I know…I won't," Twister re-promised and pulled her back against his body. He could see the upset confusion in her eyes and he couldn't bear to look anymore.

"Twist…how did this happen to me?" she whispered.

"I don't know. But everything is going to be okay. I promise…I'll be with you to make sure it is," he whispered soothingly.

He heard her sniffle and felt her body relax against his.

He closed his eyes hoping for some kind of message from somewhere to tell him how to deal with this. He didn't know what to do and he had never felt so helpless before in his life.

"Come on…let's get back to the house," Adam suggested.

She nodded and smiled widely as she felt Adam slip his hand into hers.

"Hey you two, we were just gonna order some Chinese, you want?" Lorelai offered when she saw the pair walking up the stairs.

"Yeah!" Kelsey squealing pulling Adam into the house by their still joined hands.

"Adam…go to the store with everyone and pick movies, Kelsey come with me," Lorelai said casually and pulled Kelsey into the kitchen.

"What?" Kelsey asked when she saw Lorelai's excited/questioning face.

"What is going on with you and Adam?" Lorelai probed.

"I don't know exactly…he asked me to homecoming. Then this afternoon he kissed me," Kelsey told her excitedly. She needed to get it out there and Lorelai happened to be there.

"Your first kiss?" Lorelai's face lit up.

Kelsey nodded.

"When?" Lorelai asked smiling hugely.

"Just now…at the gazebo," Kelsey sighed happily.

"No way! Your mom didn't even tell me about her first kiss…at least not until I heard it from elsewhere and confronted her about it," Lorelai told Kelsey.

Kelsey's eyes lit up. "Really? Where'd you hear it from?"

"Mrs. Kim."

"Mrs. Kims…like Lane's mom?" Kelsey asked shocked.

"Yep," Lorelai said grinning at the memory.

"Tell me the story…pleeeeease," Kelsey begged.

"Fine…so it was right around the time of her sixteenth birthday. And there was this boy she met that she really liked and she went into Doose's one day to see him and he kissed her. Then she stole some cornstarch," Lorelai laughed.

"She stole cornstarch?" Kelsey asked confused. Her mom had just had that big talk with her and Lori but she hadn't told them about her first kiss or anything.

"Yeah…she said 'thank you' to the boy then ran out of the store with cornstarch which is what she took as pretense to be there," Lorelai told her.

"That's hilarious! Who was the guy?" Kelsey asked.

"You don't know?" Lorelai asked. She thought Rory had told the girls all about Dean and that would count as Dean.

Kelsey shook her head.

"It was Dean," Lorelai told her gently.

"Oh…really?" Kelsey asked confused as to why Rory had left that out of the story.

"I thought your mom talked to you and Lori about that whole thing?" Lorelai asked.

"She did…but I guess she just forgot that part," Kelsey shrugged just kind of brushing it off but going back to the conversation she had heard between Dean and his son.

Lorelai shrugged as well.

"Where's the Dean Box?" Kelsey asked trying to learn something new. She knew that Rory had kept boxes from all her ex-boyfriends and she thought maybe there would be something in the Dean Box.

"She has three Dean boxes," Lorelai told her.

"Why?" Kelsey asked.

"One for each of the times that they were together," Lorelai explained going into the room that used to be Rory's and digging into the bureau that still housed Rory's old stuff.

"All her boyfriend boxes are in there," Lorelai said pointing to the floor.

Kelsey nodded. "I'll look at them later when Lori gets back so we can do it together."

Lorelai raised an eyebrow at this new found desire to hang out with her sister but shrugged it off.

"Movies!" Will called coming into the house.

"And Chinese!" Adam called as well.

"Yay!" both Kelsey and Lorelai squealed going into the kitchen to feast.

A/N: Okay…so sorry for the wait and like I said I'm not sure if I'm going to continue. Please let me know if you want me to. And just for the record, if I do continue the dance will probably be in chapter 8. thanks.
