Authors note: Loreilei and Christopher actually get along, and Rory is slightly OOC, but only slightly.

Background: When Christopher got Lorelei pregnant, what neither of them knew, was that one month earlier Christopher had gotten another girl pregnant, but this girl hadn't told Christopher yet. This girl (named Janice) finally did talk to Chris she told him that she wasn't going to keep the baby; she was going to have an abortion. Lorelei and Christopher talked about this (after getting over the fact that he'd gotten her pregnant) and they decided they if they could convince her to keep the baby until birth, than they would take little him/her. Janice agreed. But Lorelei and Christopher's parents forbid it, so once both babies were born, they ran away. Four years later, both sets of parents died in a tragic fire at one of their social events. Christopher and Lorelei inherited all of their money and estates. They rented out the houses, and invested the money, and Christopher started his own Record Store, which turned into a chain of stores, and now they live in Hartford, but they don't live like they are as rich as they really are, and they don't spoil the kids too much. They let them make their own choices, and make sure that their kids don't feel suffocated like they did. Kevin knows that Lorelei isn't his real mom but he loves her like a mother, and he calls her mom, he's never met his real mother. Rory and Kevin are pretty close, and they usually get along great. They both are juniors at Chilton.

Chapter One- Good Morning

"Kevin! Where'd you put my keys?" Rory yelled as she rushed down the stairs trying to put her shoes on and walk at the same time.

"On the kitchen counter!", Her older brother hollered back from somewhere upstairs

Rory, after much trouble, finally stopped walking, put on her shoes, than continued into the kitchen.

"There not there!"

"Ug! I don't know, Rory, didn't you have them last?"

"No you took my car last night, cuz I borrowed your truck to help Lane move. And I never got them back from you."

"Fine! Fine! I'll look for them! Geez"

"Thank you Brother Dear!"

Rory walked over to the marble countertop and grabbed the coffee pot and emptied its contents into two paper coffee cups with the lids, and walked into the living room, and stood at the bottom of the grand staircase.

"Found the Keys!" Kevin yelled as he came down the stairs

"Alrighty, lets go we're gonna be late, oh wait I forgot, can you drive I wanted to study for that history test on the way there"

"Sigh, yeah sure, you know if you would've mentioned this five minutes ago we'd be out the door by now"

"Sorry, now let's go"

"Okay but if I'm driving than we're taking the truck"

"Fine let roll!"

Rory and Kevin Hayden jumped into Kevin's black fully loaded F-150 and backed down the long drive away, away from the huge house/ small mansion, and hit the road toward Chilton. Rory pulled out a textbook, notes, and index cards, and began to pour over her notes

"Hey favorite sister…you wanna quiz me on that stuff?"

"yeah sure, It'll help me remember. You did remember to study though right?"

"hey I am studying now right? Your gonna quiz me, now shoot"

"Kevin!"

"What? Oh, you can scold me later, we're studying here!"

"Sigh , okay"

Not too long later they pulled into that Chilton parking lot. Both Haydens pulled down their mirrors and adjusted their appearance. Kevin perfected his "messy cool" spikes, while Rory poked and prodded her curly/wavy hair into place.

Kevin had his Dad's skin tone and build, but then he had piercing green eyes and dark hair similar to his sister's; both of which he could only assume came from his mother. Somehow, people still told them they looked alike, but really it's just that their mannerisms were so similar they reminded everyone of each other.

Rory's hair ended just above the shoulder, and today she wore it wild curly/wavy. She had on eyeliner, a little navy eye shadow, and mascara, along with a touch of lip gloss. She was wearing her skirt ( hemmed a little shorter than in the show), and a tight gray sweater vest over her shirt. (kind of like Madeline and Louise dress).

As soon as Rory opened the truck door to step out she heard

"Good Morning Mary, your looking lovely as always"

Rory responded by simply glaring, so Tristan turned his attention to Kevin.

"Hey man, hows it goin? You guys are gonna be at my party this weekend right?

"of course man, you know I'd never miss one of your parties, I don't know about Rory though"

"Um, I don't think so" Rory responded

"Oh come on" Kevin urged "you need to get outta the house and have some fun, your books will be there when you get back"

"I don't know, I'll think about it"

"yeah Mary, listen to your brother, and I'll make sure you have fun" he said as he wiggled his eyebrows at her.

"shove it DuGrey," She snapped at him.

And with that the three of them walked into the building
