Spoilers:
Do not read if you have not seen the whole first season.Warnings:
Not a whole lot of the Gilmore Girls, more Tristin, sorry. Characters may not totally be "in character," sorry again.Disclaimer:
I do not own Gilmore Girls or anything affiliated to it (AKA Rory, Lorelai, Tristin, Dean, Lane, Chilton Preparatory, Stars Hollow, Headmaster Charleston, Paris, etc., etc., etc. All I own is Josie Fitzgerald, Shawn Fitzgerald, and their parents. Please don't sue me, I'm too poor to squeeze any money out of.Author's Notes:
There's no reference to the Gilmore Girls' except Stars Hollow in this chapter. This is just a little idea that popped in my head and I just had to write it down. Sorry if this story offends any Gilmore Girl fans in any way.This is a point of a view of a character that is new to Stars Hollow and Chilton. Please be gentle, as I said before, this was written on a whim.
Feedback is nice, although not mandatory.
I was thinking of making different POVs for this, such as maybe a Shawn POV, a Tristin POV, and/or a Rory POV. Just an idea, what do you think? Or maybe I should change this to a third person story with a know all, see all (I think it's called omniscient) thing.
Have I ever mentioned how much I hate what saving html format does to my writing? Well, if I haven't, I am now. This format sucks.
Now I am going to shut up and just start the story.

September 8th, 2001
Two weeks ago my twin brother Shawn and I were hit with the "big news." On that fateful late August day, our parents, Jack and Miki, told us we were leaving our wonderful San Francisco home that Shawn and I have lived our entire lives to move to Stars Hollow, Connecticut, which is approximately 30 minutes away from Hartford, depending on the traffic.
*Flashback*
"What?!" I screamed. "What about my life here?"
"Honey, I know the move will be difficult for you, for all of us, and it's real short notice," said my mom. "But it is a wonderful opportunity for your father."
*Back to the present*
My father was one of the many okay paid lawyers at a law firm in San Francisco. Someone at another law firm saw my father's "excellent work" in court and he offered him a high salary at the firm with one condition: he would have to move to Hartford. But instead of moving to Hartford, he decided to move our family to Stars Hollow, which is a town with the population of about less than 10,000 people. Why Stars Hollow you ask? Well, my dad lived there till he was about 10, then his family moved to Oakland, California, and he still has fond memories of the town.
*Back to the flashback*
"No! I am not leaving San Francisco! I'm not leaving my friends!" I shouted.
*Present again*
I know what you're thinking, I was acting like a baby, but what do you expect? I am a 16 year old girl who hates change.
*Back to flash back*
"You'll make new friends," insisted my dad.
"It was hard enough to make and keep my current friends!" I told them. "How could you agree to this mom? What about your job, your life?"
"I work as a general manager at a health clinic," said my mom. "I'm sure I can find another job."
"Don't you have anything to say?" I asked Shawn who hadn't said a word yet.
"You're saying everything I'm thinking, but I also think living on the East Coast would be a cool change," said Shawn.
"Fine!" I shouted. "You all have fun in Connecticut without me cuz I ain't going!"
"Yes, you are," said my dad.
"No, I'm not!" I screamed as I stormed to my room and slammed the door.
*Back to present*
I know, I know. How mature. But, see, sometimes I just have to let the good ole' drama queen in me out. Obviously things didn't go well for me because now, one month after that incident here I am, flying to Hartford, Connecticut. In a couple of hours I will arrive in Stars Hollow. I hope the town won't suck. Oh well, wish me luck in my new town.
