Later that evening Rory and Tristan pulled up into the Gilmores driveway where they usually have dinner with both grandparents, Loreali and Christopher.
"You ring the doorbell" Rory whinned.
"Ror, no you ring it" Tristan replied back.
"Please Trissy" she pouted. Tristan finally relented and rang the door bell.
The maid of the week ushered them inside. "Your family is on the patio for drinks" she said in a German accent.
"Grandma, Grandpa." Rory announced their pressence.
"Rory, hello, how are you dear?" Emily asked and Rory was immediatly hugged by both sets of grandparents.
Dinner was for the better part uneventful. Rory bid farewell to both of her parents before their trip. She then turned to Tristan, "Pub?"
"Oh Mare, what will your grandparents think" he smirked.
"Ahh please," she scoffed. "Lets go get me drunk."
At Rick Mans Shoe, the closest pub to Yale amd the local hangout where Finn, Colin and Logan were, none of them noticed Tristan and Rory. Finally a high pitched squeal brought them out of that, they looked to see the direction of the squeal and they saw Rory hugging someone.
"Lia you are actually here!" she said while still hugging her bestfriend.
"I know Ror, but do you want to let go." She said with a smirk.
"No never, how long are you here for?" she asked eagerly wanting to know if her bestfriend in the whole wide world will stay with her forever.
"I want to watch your initiation and then Im off again" she said with a pout. Lia was currently in Australia doing a semester there as per daddys orders.
"Arghh God i hate Andrew for sending you away. Come drink with Trissy and I" Rory said knowing that it was impossible for her and Lia to get drunk.
The boys were immediatly interested in the two girls so they went to the table.
"Ace..." he said demanding her attention while she was talking to the boy next to her.
"Logan." Rory replied curtly.
"Mare, are you not going to introduce me to your friends." Tristan said giving her a knowing look.
"Tristan DuGrey and Lia Randel meet Aeroplane man." She said with a smile.
"Aeroplane man, huh. Im Logan Huntzberger and this is Colin McRae and Finn Rothschild." He introduced his friends.
"Hello my love I must say you look lovely this evening" he said in an amazing Australian accent.
"You are exotic, how come we haven't met earlier Finn" Rory asked.
"Ror here has a thing for anything with an accent, just ask the guys that were following us around England" Lia laughed at the memory.
"Ahh shut up, they can make me do anything with their accents." Rory said with a coy smile.
"That mean you are up for anything with me love?" Finn asked wanting to sleep with the girl.
"Sory Aussie, I am not your bedfellow for the night" she said with Bambi eyes.
"Rejection Finn" Logan teased.
"Love, you wound me. How drunk will you have to be for us to share a bed tonight." He asked, he needed her in his bed because Finn Rothschild can't stand defeat.
"Im never really drunk, i can handle my alcohol quite well." She said as she glanced at Lia.
"Trust me these two have already downed 7 shots of Tequila each and they aren't buzzed." Tristan said. The other boys where staring at them with wide eyes, none of them could do that.
"I highly doubt that, if anyone could do that i would of heard about it" he said in disbelief.
Lia looked at Rory who just nodded, "Drinking contest boys. Whoever gets drunk first loses."
All three boys nodded their heads and the girls ordered 18 shots of Tequila. By the time the girls where on their fourth shot the boys were two shots behind them.
Finn was amazed to say the least. "How can the two of you put down so much alcohol and not get a little bit tipsy?"
"Practice makes perfect." Rory said with a shrug but with a large grin on her face.
"Ror, we gotta go, you have an early start tomorrow." Tristan reminded her. The nest day she had to work on a presentation at the Gilmore Group.
"Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me Trissy. Lia we are going to go, will you join us?" Rory turned to face Lia.
"Yeah sure Ror, do you think tomorrow you can find the time to go shopping with me?" Lia asked already knowing the answer.
"I am sure I can fit shopping into my day. Well we are off, a pleasure to meet you." She directed to the boys.
Four days later it was time for the Life and Death Brigade gathering. Rory was outside waiting for the car with one of her bodyguards called Nate. Nates full name is Nathaniel but Rory and Nate are close and he was there for her while she was growing up so he is her most trusted bodyguard. "Are you sure that you want to do this Ror?" asked Nate who was worried about all of the things that could go wrong on this trip.
"I am sure Nate, I have you. The only thing I am worried about is the not talking, you know me." She stated.
"I know Ror, but still I need to make sure that you keep safe." He was still expressing his worry when a car pulled up.
Finn, Logan, Colin and Stephanie all stepped out of the car eager to meet the Hayden heiress. The group started to make their way towards us. By the time they were a metre away from us Nate stopped them.
"May I please introduce you to the Hayden heiress, she will not be reffered to as anything other than that." He said as he was starting to go through the guidelines for my trip.
"Hello I am Finn, I must say it is a please" Finn grabbed her hand and placed a kiss on her palm.
"Hello I am Stephanie Vanderbilt and this is Logan Huntzberger and Colin McRae." She pointed to the other two who of course Rory already knew but Rory still shook each of their hands.
Nate cleared his throat, "I've been instructed to give you guidelines for this trip. First of all you need to take a Hayden approved car."
"Why" Finn interjected. Rory was containing her laughter by disguising it as a cough.
"Because the hayden cars have bulletproof glass and everything that is needed for the heiresses safety. Secondly she sits in the passanger seat and thirdly I will be following you to our destination. Any questions?" he asked concluding his speech. Everyone just shook their heads. "Okay then lets go."
We made our way to a Hayden SUV where Nate opened the passanger door for me and handed Finn the car keys. Finn went to put the keys in the car but when it didn't turn on he just turned to look at me.
I sighed and placed my hand on the screen so that it could confirm my identity and start the car. I then pulled out my phone from my Birkin bag and started to text Tristan and Lia while everyone else shared a look about the strange way to start a car and my behaviour.
Trissy I'm so bored I am not allowed to talk and it is fustrating me – R
It will be over soon L and I are here so as soon as you come we can sneak into your tent – T
You better have coffee, Im not allowed to bring it because they might put two and two together – R
We have pleanty of coffee and food, you forget how well we know you Ror now get off your phone they are probably all suspicous – T
Of course he was right, they were all trying to catch me on my phone. I sighed and rolled my eyes and they all immediatley returned to what they where previously doing. Finn was driving and complaining about the sun, Colin and Steph were carrying on their banter they should seriously just get together its so obvious they both like eachother and Logan was on the phone, drinking from a flask and paying attention to me.
An hour and a half into the drive everyone was interupted by a phone ringing, I was so lucky that my phone was on silent otherwise the Oompa Loompa song would be playing and they would immedietly know that it was me. I was so deep in thought i almost didn't notice it. I quickly got my phone out of my bag and the others were wondering if i was going to answer. Obviously I didn't so i sent a message to my mum instead.
Mum, LDB stuff being the heiress so can't talk tell dad i love him and apologise to everyone at brunch tomorrow, tell grandpa that the files for my presentation are in my office so that he can use them. Love you mum.
She immediatley got a text back. I was worried anyway have fun at the LDB don't kill yourself, enjoy the stunt and i'll tell grandpa. We love you Mum and Dad.
Rory then turned off her phone and tossed it into her bag.
It took another half an hour but they finally reached the location as soon as the car stopped Logan was already at my door opening it and helping me out of the car. I smiled in thanks because that is all i could do, it is so fustrating not to be able to talk. Logan led me down a path I gasped at what i saw which suprised the others; they spent the whole car ride trying to get me to talk. Nate suddenly appeared by my side. I continued to walk down the path and Logan led me to a tent.
"Well it has a bed, wash bowl and toothbrush, festivities start in an hour." With that he left.
I got out my phone and quickly texted Lia and Tristan to let them know that i arrived and to come and find me this whole no talking thing was getting old. I stepped out of my tent and made sure no one was looking and i turned to Nate " Tristan and Lia are going to come so let them, but if there is a large crowd tell them I'll meet them outside in a half hour."
Fifteen minutes later Lia and Tristan appeared in her tent carrying coffee. "Oh my god you two are life savers, you even brought the necter of the gods as a present for me" she smiled gratefully and snatched the coffee off them.
Tristan just chuckled as she downed her second cup of coffee. "Ready to leave Ror?" he asked. Rory just nodded and made her way out of the tent with Tristan and Lia not far behind. Rory split up from the other two in order not to start suspicion. As soon as Rory enetered the campsite everything went quite. The people who were laughing and playing games stopped, everyone who was drinking stopped, all attention was on her. After Rory went and grabbed a glass of chamange things started to get back to normal but everyone was still weary of her.
At the end of the night Rory sat in her tent with Tristan and Lia. Rory was glad to finally take her sunglasses off, it didn't help that it was pitch black and she had to wear heavily tinted sunglasses. The group sepearated at around three in the morning because they had to get up at six in the morning.
Rory woke up the next morning to the smell of coffee. "Gimmie" she mumbled with her eyes closed.
"Not until you get dressed" Tristan said.
"I hate you so much" Rory told him but complied anyway.
Five minutes later Rory came out of her tent wearing a blue dress with embrodiery that Logan had given Nate to put in my tent during the night. Rory saw Tristan and Lia talking to a group of people when she went to the group. Tristan mouthed 'HOT' to her, he was so annoying.
Everyone was interupted by Colin who tapped a spoon on his chamange glass. "This is the 30th annual gathering of the Life and Death Brigade. Today is a special event, we are one of the first people to see the Hayden Heiress, she will do us the honour of joining us in the rest of our journey through college. I would like you all to welcome the Hayden Heiress into the Life and Death Brigade." Everyone clapped and Colin continued, "She will also join us in our stunt of today, to the Hayden Heiress." He raised his glass and so did everyone else. They drank their glasses of chamange and continued in what they were doing.
It was finally time for the big stunt. It took a lot of convincing to let Nate let her jump off a seven story scaffold. As Rory was heading up the ladder Nate shouted out, "Keep your sunglasses on no matter what and angle your hat so that your sunnies don't fall off." By the time she was at the top she noticed the five other jumpers; Finn, Logan, Robert, Tristan and Lia. I smiled at Lia and Tristan as i was walking past them to a guy called Seth who was the mastermind of the event. Seth strapped the buckle to me and I grabbed an umbrella. "In omnia," Colin said, that was our cue to jump, "In omnia" we all said as we jumped. As soon as I landed Nate was already by my side.
A few hours after the jump people started to pack up and leave. Rory got into the car and scanned her hand and leaned against the window and fell asleep into a deep slumber.
Rory awoke to her being in someones arms. She sudddenly realised she was in Nates arms and on the way up to her penthouse. Nate laid her onto her bed and as soon as she hit the pillow she fell asleep.
