Chapter 1
*******
It was a brisk Friday in November in Hartford, Connecticut and sixteen year- old Lana Dugrey was walking to her brand new BMW. She sighed remembering what had happened the day she received it. Although she was always daddy's little girl, he had a hard time telling her important things without softening her up with a gift first. When she was little she remembers her father giving her a puppy about ten seconds before telling her about a three month business trip to Europe, and things still hadn't changed.
Lana was a lot like her father in the sense that she was had beautiful dirty blonde hair, and bright blue eyes, but in most other aspects she was like her mother. Lana was raised, despite her mother and grandmother's hardest attempts, in the midst of the Hartford social circle.
"Dugery!", called a voice from behind her. She hadn't heard him, so he called again.
"Lorelai Ann!"
"What? Oh, You want a ride?", she joked at her neighbor and best friend since the age of two, Alex.
"No I just enjoy calling your name across the parking lot in the freezing cold for no reason.", he retorted.
"Fine come on, hurry up before I change my mind.", she said starting up the car.
"What happened?", he said picking up that something ad gone terribly wrong.
"Nothing happened. Why do you think something happened?", she replied her eyes avoiding him. Alex always had this annoying way of knowing exactly what she was thinking.
"Well first you have been off in your own little world all day. Secondly you are avoiding looking at me, and third your newest toy. It must be bad if he sprung for the BMW, and by the looks of it you haven't told your mom."
She sighed, "Yeah you're right,annoyingly right, but can we not talk about it right now? I've got to get to Stars Hollow. Grandma is going on one of her walks down memory lane and I've got to save mom. You are coming with me right?", she asked using the puppy dog face.
"I don't know, Lorelai is involved so it could pose a threat to my health," Lana glared at him.
"I'm kidding. Of course I'll come. The things I do for you.", Alex smiled shaking his head.
Besides her mother and of course her grandmother, Alex was the one person she could always count on. The one that was there for her whenever she had a bad day and she was always there for him.
Finally they arrived at Stars Hollow, which was a second home to them both. The two were greeted by amazingly chipper Lorelai.
"Hey Lana. Alex! Lana didn't tell me you were coming.", she said giving each a hug.
"Well Lana didn't tell me I was coming.", he replied glancing over at Lana, who was smiling mischievously.
"Well come in Rory getting it all set up."
"What is she setting up?", he inquired suspiciously, again looking over at Lana.
"Movie night silly. All the old home movies...Lana left that part out didn't she?", laughed Lorelai.
"Conveniently, yeah."
"Let's go find my mom Alex.", Lana blurted changing theh subject.
"Sure play the Rory card.", he laughed as Lana speed into the house.
Rory was in the living room lining up dozens of tapes labeled with either the name Rory, Lana or even more common Lana and Alex.
"Hey guys. Okay now that we are all here," she indicated to Lana, and Alex, "we can start our Memory Movie Marathon."
"Alliterations. How clever.", Alex commented sarcastically, not wanting to see himself as a child.
"Watch it bub. You don't know how many embarrassing baby pictures I have of you."
"I'm sure I am about to see them all.", he added with a fake smile. Lana elbowed him.
"Shh the movies are starting.", she hissed into his ear.
"You do know she has even more pictures of you then me, right?", he continued.
"I plan to have them go down in some tragic accident.", she whispered.
"Hey you two! Movies are playing here.", snapped Rory laughingly.
"Oh no not Christmas when I was seven!", whined Lana hiding her face in her friend's shoulder.
"Look, look this is when you sneeze on camera and run away holding your nose.", pointed out Alex.
"Your turn is coming soon.", said Lana bitterly.
"Ah yes I remember," started Rory, "you dressed as an old man and paraded around our house all of Christmas day."
"Stop mocking me I was seven, I didn't know any better."
"But mocking is what we three do best.", replied Lana.
For hours the four went back and forth watching and poking fun of the videos.
"All right guys I have to go my cousin is coming into town today and I have to be there when he arrives", he sighed, Alex hated, no hated was to strong for family, despised his cousin Travis, who was about two years older, but Lana was quite the opposite.
"Travis is coming! Why didn't you tell me? I haven't seen him in years.", Lana questioned excitedly.
"Travis coming didn't seem very important. Plus he isn't my favorite person in the world. You know that."
"Oh yeah. I never did get that he seems perfectly nice."
"Nice!", he snorted. "It's only an act he puts on. If only you knew the torture he put me through as a kid."
"Well the past is the past, but I guess I should get you home then. I'll drive you so you won't have to take the bus.", Lana smiled.
Alex knew that this was only an excuse to see Travis again, but took her up on the offer anyway. He hated the bus, he always ended up sitting in gum or other things he didn't even want to know what were.
A/N: Another Authors note. I just thought I would mention that the home movie thing was actually true. My mom made me watch hours of it last night commenting on every little thing I did. Any way I'll post the next chapter as soon as I can, but I do have an Algebra final coming up.
