Chapter two, peoples. Umm I am changing when Rory and Dean meet just cause…

All of them were okay with the plan. Colin was now Rory's cousin. He, Finn and Logan were staying with Lorelei because Colin's parents died and all three boys were living at Colin's when this happened. They weren't really living with them but just saying they were. At least that's what they thought. They didn't ask. Now all they had to worry about was someone recognizing them from the news. Lorelei had to go to work soon after that and left Rory here with her new cousin and friends. "Why did you guys runaway and better yet why were you all living together?" Rory asked them to relieve the awkward silence. "Well we were tired of the society crap." Logan told her. "We just wanted to escape." Colin continued. "And finally I live with Logan because my parents are still in Australia, love." Finn told her. "And I live with Logan because my parents died in a yacht accident. Logan took us both in for our help but his parents took us in for the publicity." Colin finished. She looked at them all. She was surprised that three rich boys could be nice and not kiddie-pool shallow. Rory stood up and called to the man in flannel, "Luke, put it all on our tab. And can they leave they're bags here for now?" Luke just nodded. Rory started to walk when she turned around, "Are you coming or not?" They all stood up, put there bags where Rory pointed, and followed her out. "Where are we going?" Colin asked her. "To my friends house." Rory told the still confused boys. "Why?" Logan asked. "Because she is my best friend and needs to meet you people." By this time they had made it to the door of an antique shop. Rory walked straight in. The boys all looked at each other, shook their heads, and followed her. "Stay here while I go receive her." Rory told them. Just as soon as she disappeared an old lady came. "Can I help you?" she asked them. "Umm, no thanks, we are just waiting for Rory and her friend." Colin explained to her. She was about to go further when the two girls came down. One was of course Rory and the other was Asian like the lady. "Lane, meet Colin, Logan and Finn. Boys meet Lane. Lane we need to talk to you outside." Rory said rushing them all out. "Lane these are three runaways and I am pretending to be related to one of them to help them." Lane didn't even get a chance to breathe before Rory had said this. "What?" was all Lane could say. For the next few minutes they told Lane about what happened. She was kind of amazed at the end. There were three runaways from Hartford who were heir to thousand dollar, or larger, corporations living in this small town. They all hung out for about thirty minutes before Lane said, "I have to go, mom is already going to be wondering where I am. Bye." They all said bye and Rory started the tour of the town. They ended back at Luke's Diner. "All we need now is a job so we have money to stay at the inn for a while longer." Finn told his friends once Rory left. "Yeah we need to find one soon." Logan added. "I am going to get a job at that store." Colin told them. "If you boys need jobs you could work here." the man named Luke told Logan and Finn. "If you know how to carry food, take orders, or cook you can work here. It won't pay much but it will pay." They all knew how to do those things. They looked at each other and nodded. "We will take the jobs but we will not wear restricted clothes." Finn told him. "You're hired, start tomorrow and no uniforms." Luke told them. "When do we start tomorrow?" "Nine." It was early for them but they needed a job. "Okay, and I'm Logan, this is Colin, and this is Finn." Luke walked away after this. "He isn't so scary anymore." Logan said to his friends. They all agreed. They hung out for a while. They grabbed the bags and left. Then they just started walking around. Logan wanted to call Honor. He wouldn't admit it but he missed her. His friends did too, not that they would admit it either. He wanted to make sure she knew they were all right. "We should call Honor." Logan told his friends. "Just so she knows that we're okay." Logan continued. "Tomorrow. That way we can have Rory make the call pretending to be one of Honors friends." Colin said. They knew this was the best idea. They kept walking around. They went to the market and Colin got a job there. It was dark by the time they made it 'home.' They bought a room again. They didn't even have to bribe her so it only cost $40. Like the night before one person slept on each bed and one person slept on the couch. Last time Colin slept on the couch, this time it was Logan. Next it would be Finn. They all woke up at eight thirty when the alarm went off. "Lets get ready to go." Colin said. They did. They didn't like waking up this early but they did it anyway. They were ready a quarter till 9. After grabbing their bags, which they were tired of carrying everywhere, they left the room. They knew their way around town really well now. Colin went to Dooses' market. (Did I get that right) Finn and Logan went to Luke's. He told them to put their bags down behind the counter and to start taking orders. There weren't many people in there. "This is going to be fun." Logan said somewhat sarcastically. "It will be completely amazing. Lets works." Finn told him. He was truly excited. Logan shook his head and went to take someones order. He was just about to talk to the man when Finn came to him, "What are we supposed to do?" Logan was amazed that he had to ask, "We go up to them and say, what would you like to order, then they answer." Logan started. "I want a coffee and a bagel." the man said. He didn't know what was going on but was hungry. "Then Finn, we go to Luke and place the order. Once its given to us we take it to the person who ordered it." Logan finished after giving the order to Luke. "Ohh. Thanks." Finn said before he went to some table. "Orders ready. What's wrong with you friend?" Luke asked as Logan took the order. "Who Finn, oh there are so many things wrong with him. Isn't that right?" Logan added the last part to Finn who was just bringing up an order. "Yep mate, to many to list." Finn declared proudly. Logan walked away to take another order.

Meanwhile at Dooses' market…

Colin walked the rest of the ways to the store. Once he got there he put his bag in the break room. (assuming it has one) His job is to do stuff like stock the shelves. He went straight to work. After Colin was done he went to the front of the store. He met the bag boy. "Hello, I'm Dean. You must be new here." The boy looked about his age. "Oh yeah, came into town a few days ago and I'm Colin." Colin told him. "Where are you staying, are you on vacation or are you living here?" Dean asked him. In Hartford if someone asked this they would be nosey but he knows that here in Stars Hollow it's curiousity. "I'm staying at he Dragonfly Inn and I moved here." Colin just realized how weird that sounded. He was staying in a hotel but lived here. Dean must have seen it too, because he said, "If you live here why are you staying in a hotel?" "Its complicated." was all that Colin told him. Dean didn't pry so they went on talking about school here.

Now with Rory…

After leaving her 'cousin' and his friends at Luke's she went home. She wanted to get away because she felt weird around them. She didn't know which one caused it and it wasn't weird in a bad way just new. Her mom was sitting on the couch watching tv. Rory sat down next to her. "Do you think we will pull this off?" Rory asked her mom. "I think we can, as long as you get along with them." Her mom said with a knowing smile. She knew her daughter liked one of them, she just didn't know which one. Rory didn't even know which one. "I think I can do that. But do you think people will believe Colin is my cousin?" Rory was still worried that someone would find out. "Well why wouldn't they? You have a month to make it believable. We ran away, they can to. I was just year older when I did it." Rory knew her mom was right. They talked for a while before the went to sleep. Well Lorelei did. Rory stayed up watching movies. She asked her mom to join her but she was tired. Rory passed sometime. Rory and her mom spent the whole next day together watching movies.

Back to the diner…

They were just about to get off work. Colin was sitting at a table waiting for them. He got off earlier. When Logan and Finn got off and grabbed their bags they walked home. They hadn't eaten all day though so before they left they each ordered a cheeseburger to go. They had only been here for a little bit but this town had changed them. They liked it here. Once they bought a hotel room again, Finn told them about the whiskey he took. They were surprised but happy. They each grabbed a glass and toasted, "To a new life." For 15 year olds they can really hold liquor. But they have been stealing it from Mitchum and Shira for the last year.

What did you think?
