I do not own Gilmore Girls. If I did, I couldn't even describe to you the changes I might make. Including giving Milo a long term contract:)

"Give that back!"

"Never! It's mine!"

"No that's my copy. See the notes in the margins?"

"I have notes in the margins of mine too."

"Why do you want it back so badly anyway? You hated Of Mice and Men!"

"So did you!"

"Yes, but you hated it because a puppy died. I hated it because it was boring!"

"I thought it was boring too! See, I put that in the margins! Lucas Holden Huntzberger if you don't give me my copy right now!"

"Gilmore," Holden corrected. "It's just Holden Gilmore, Leah."

"Well it doesn't say that on your birth certificate," Leah said smugly. In a flash, she stole the book out of Holden's hand and opened the cover.

"Ha!" she said proudly. She pointed to the name Leah Huntzberger written in the inside cover.

"Fine, it's yours," Holden sighed. "Now come on, we've got to go to Luke's before school for some coffee."

"Did someone say coffee?"

"Yeah mom. You ready?" Leah said.

"I'm always ready when there's coffee involved," their mom said smiling. She grabbed her purse and her coat as Holden and Leah grabbed their backpacks and they were off to Luke's.

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

"I'll have an omelet, a muffin, a banana, and some coffee," Holden said to the boy behind the counter with the backwards baseball cap.

"I'll have the same Will," Leah said.

"And I'll have the same too. Except, add some blueberries pancakes and another cup of coffee," their mom said smiling.

"I don't understand how you and mom can eat so much," Will said shaking his head.

"Trust me, I've been trying for nearly 30 years," said Luke coming out of the kitchen with a coffee pot in his hand.

"Lukey! I want coffee too!" the woman next to Holden at the table said.

"Lorelai, you know you can go behind the counter." Luke sighed.

"But you said customers can't go behind the counter!" Lorelai said.

"You're my wife, I'll make an exception." Luke said.

"Oh Luke!" Lorelai said. She got out of her chair and ran to Luke, giving him a kiss on the cheek. They had been married for 17 years but Luke still blushed.

"Enough PDA, here's your food," Will said carrying the plates. They ate their food quickly.

"Incredible," was all Will could say as he watched sipping a cup of coffee."

"You wish you could eat as fast as us, little brother," Rory said with a smile. She had finished her omelet and muffin and was now drowning her pancakes in syrup. She stopped for a second though to check her watch.

"Holden, Leah, you better finish up because you have to catch the bus in about 5 minutes. Have fun on your first day of school!" Rory said.

They finished their food, got their backpacks, kissed their mother, and ran out the door.

GGGGGGGGGGGGGG

"Holden, do you think this year will be better than last?" Leah said as the hurried toward the bus.

"I hope so. I mean I know Chilton is a hard school but it was hard adjusting," Holden replied.

"You're right. This year should be better," she said as they walked onto the bus.

"You have first period English too?" Leah said to Holden as they compared their schedules.

"Yep," he said.

"Then we better go," Leah said.

"I'm just going to get some stuff from my locker, don't wait up," Holden said to his sister.

"Ok," she said. She walked through the hall reading her latest book, Pride and Prejudice. She had already read it but it was one of her favorites. She wasn't really paying attention to where she was going, but she opened the door to Room 3 and suddenly she bumped into some on. Her book as well as well as some papers went flying around the classroom. She noticed the man she had knocked into try to pick them up.

"I'm so sorry!" she said. She crawled down next to him and helped him pick up the papers.

"It's ok," he said. His dark hair fell into his face and Leah couldn't see who it was. She knew it must be a teacher but she had never seen this man before. "Something interesting had to happen on my first day I guess." he added and he looked up.

Leah stared at the man. His warm brown eyes gleamed in the sunlight coming through the window. She couldn't help but stare at him. Holden had the same eyes and she was pretty sure his hair was the same color as this man's. The man looked just as shocked to see her.

"Ro-" he stared but he stopped. "Who are you?" he said.

"I'm Leah Huntzberger," Leah said. "Are you my new English teacher?" she asked.

"Yeah, I think I am," he said but he still looked at Leah as though he had seen a ghost.

At that moment all the students including Holden came in and the bell rand. Leah quickly helped the man pick up his papers and she quickly ran to a desk next to Holden.

"Who's that?" Holden asked Leah.

"Our teacher," she answered simply. He noticed the man was now staring at Holden and his eyes grew wider. But then he stopped staring and he looked back at his papers.

"Why was he staring at us?" Holden asked.

"I don't know," Leah said truthfully.

"Hello class," the man started. "My name is Mr. Mariano and I'm your English teacher for this year. But please, call me Jess, Mr. Mariano isn't really fun and I want us to have at least some fun. Now for this year I've planned a lot of interesting reading-"

Leah raised her hand and Mr. Mariano stopped talking. "Yes Miss Huntzberger," he said smiling.

"Are you by any chance the author of Small Town Life?" Leah said excitedly. Holden groaned. That was Leah's favorite book and he knew the author was J.A. Mariano.

"Yes actually I am," he said in a surprised voice.

"I love that book," Leah said shyly.

"Glad to have a fan," he said. "Now, about that reading-" he started but was interrupted once again.

"Mr. Mariano," the boy began.

"Jess," Jess corrected.

"Ok, Jess," the boy said. "If your an author, what are you doing teaching?"

"Good question," Jess laughed. "I guess I thought it would be fun."

"Fun?" the boy said in disbelief.

"Yeah," Jess said chuckling. "Fun." It was then Leah and Holden knew it would be a fantastic school year at Chilton.
