Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Gilmore girls' characters only Devin and Danielle
A sleek dark blue Audi pulled up in the driveway of the huge Hayden mansion in West Virginia at 9:30 in the morning. The driver side door soundlessly opened and Thirty-three year old Christopher Hayden stepped out of the drivers' side door while his sixteen year old son Devin Hayden climbed out of the passenger side.
Devin had sandy blonde hair and was looked like Chris's twin. Everyone that had grown up, or known Chris when he was Devin's age told him that he acted just like his father. He had inherited his father's badass, playboy, care free attitude. And instead of his twin sister Danielle getting the wild attitude of their mothers', his little sister Rory had gotten it. The way you could tell Rory and Devin were brother and sister were by their eyes; they had gotten Lorelai's eyes, clear, haunting, deep blue, and their personality.
Some people wouldn't believe that Devin lived in Boston because he was so tan. But you rarely ever could get Devin to stay inside the house and Rory was the same way. Danielle on the other hand had to be dragged out of the house in fear of getting dirty. The way Devin walked you could tell he was confident and a kid from high society until you got to his clothes. At the moment he was wearing baggy jeans, under which you could see his wallet chain. He had a Green day American Idiot t-shirt and it was hard to see his Converse under his pants, which dragged the ground. Around his wrist there was a leather band and his neck had a silver and black chain. His spiked hair had dyed red tips.
Devin who was followed closely by Chris walked up the walk way to the front steps. Devin took a deep breath and turned around to look at Chris who was looking down at his feet. When Chris realized that Devin was looking at him he lifted his head and shook his head to assure him that is would be alright. The teenager raised his arm and knocked three times on the big double wooden oak doors, a few seconds went by before the doors swung open to reveal a fifteen year old girl.
She looked similar to her brother, she was wearing baggy jeans with red stitching that dragged to the ground, completely covering her converse high-tops she had on a red tank top that said LP in black and on the back at the top it said Linkin Park. She had on black and red lace up arm warmers that went from her elbow to the bottom of her fingers and had thumb holes cut into them. Her chocolate hair was dyed dark blue at the tips and pulled into a messy bun at the back of her head.
Rory smiled at the sight of her brother and jumped into his arms enveloping him is a tight hug. The two got along better than Devin and his twin did or for that matter better than any siblings gets along with each other. She asked, in a playful voice "So, Devin finally decided to come and rescue me from this place they call home?" She said gesturing to her grandparents.
"No," he scoffed "I was forced by this one here." He said motioning to their dad. Rory pouted and said,
"Hey now that's not very nice you know." Rory said backing up and letting them in.
"Rory darling it's not very nice that you are keeping them in the foyer let them in already," Her grandmother scolded and their father Chris shuddered at the sound of her shrill voice. Francine came around the corner she took in Rory's clothes and said, "I thought I told you to change before your father came," Rory shrugged and said,
"No, you didn't," Devin smirked trying to hide a laugh that was threatening to escape.
"Chris, darling come in, come in," Francine said.
"Hello mother, hello father," Rory and Devin looked at each other and started singing in unison,
"Hello mother hello father fleas, ticks, mosquitoes really bother" and they couldn't continue because the both burst out laughing.
"That will be enough out of you two. Go upstairs and finish packing we'll be in the sitting room having a drink." Francine and Straub went into the living room and Chris stayed behind,
"If you leave me down there for more than a few minutes I will kill you by taking away all your coffee." Rory and Devin both gasped.
"Mean, mean grumpy old man," Rory said and Devin laughed as Chris was beckoned into the living room he left as the kids were climbing the stairs. Rory put her arm around Devin's shoulder and said, "So you didn't even miss me a tiny bit?"
"Fine if you'll drop it I missed you ok?" Rory smiled and replied,
"I always knew you had a heart in there instead of a black hole," She said poking his chest.
"Yeah, yeah I know now hurry up or dad will take away your coffee." Rory gasped again as they entered her room. She threw everything else that wasn't packed up yet into a big box and taped it shut.
"All done," She said and they started bringing the boxes down the stairs. When they were all in the foyer they went into the living room to see their grandma Francine talking adamantly to Chris and he just nodded his head every now and then. "Hey dad we're all done," Rory said. Chris sighed relief and said,
"Ok, sorry mother for cutting this visit short but we have a long drive a head of us so we better get going." When he saw his mother was going to protest he continued, "Plus Rory needs to get ready for her first day tomorrow." Francine quickly changed her mind and nodded her head that she agreed.
"Dad you brought the Audi but where are the rest of my boxes going to fit?" Rory asked she only had a few boxes left with something that she would still be needing.
"The movers are down the street awaiting my call." He pressed the button on his phone and said, "Yeah you can come now,"
"You mean to tell me you had movers and you made me bring all my boxes down myself?" Rory whined.
"I thought Devin would have told you," Chris said.
"You knew and didn't tell me?" Rory said still whining.
"Yeah, I thought it was funny." He said laughing.
"Well you idiot you could have gotten out of helping me carry the boxes down." Devin immediately stopped laughing as he thought it over and said,
"Aww man this sucks." Chris and Rory laughed and they opened the door as they heard a knock. The movers walked in and started grabbing the boxes. When everything was packed up and put into the movers van they said good bye to their grandparents and Chris, Devin, and Rory all walked out of the house and climbed into the Jag. Pulling out of the driveway Rory screamed, "YES!!! I'm free!!!" Chris and Devin both shook their heads laughing.
The drive to Boston was a long and boring one. Rory was sitting in the back seat reading and Chris and Devin were sitting in the front Devin had his headphones on and was listen to his IPOD and Chris was watching the road. After the first hour and being almost half way there Rory had already read 3 of her 300 page books. She sighed and closed the book she just finished and laid on her back staring up at the roof of the car.
"What's wrong Ror?" Chris asked.
"Nothing I'm just bored and need coffee and food."
"Well we'll stop in a few minutes to get some food and coffee. Ok?"
"Ok," She said as she closed her eyes to try and fall asleep for a little while. She was awoken by her dad as they drove through McDonald's. Rory order two large fries a burger a large coke and a two large coffees. Devin ordered the same thing they always used to call it a Hayden special. Chris just ordered a burger and coke. They parked in the parking lot and ate when they were done Devin got out to throw all the garbage away. When he went to get back in the car Chris backed up and stopped, Devin went to get in again and Chris backed up again. Devin threw his hands up in the air and sighed exasperatedly. Rory was laughing so hard in the backseat she was crying. Finally Chris let him in the car and Devin punched him in the arm. "Thanks a lot you made me look like a fool." Chris laughed and said,
"I'm sorry son but I couldn't resist it." Rory was still laughing in the backseat and finally Devin started laughing. Chris backed the car out of the parking space and they continued on their way to Boston, which wasn't any more fun than the first part it was actually more aggravating because they were almost there but not quite.
