Disclaimer:Gilmore Girls is not mine nor is anything you might recognize. Seriously. I wish it was, but no (I'm really tired of having to say that).
Authors Note:Okay so first I would like to apologize for taking so loooong to update. I'm really sorry about that. There was a problem with my computer, and I couldn't seem to find away to get all the thoughts in my head on to paper, and I type super slow (it is defiantly a skill I'm trying to improve on). This chapter is a filler just to get me from point A to point B. If its short sorry.
Recap:
Chap 1:Invitation Rory is invited to join the CBB. Witch is the LDB's rival.
"'Dear Miss Lorelai Leigh Gilmore the Third you are cordially invited to join the Crimson Blood Brigade. We were very impressed with your article on the LDB our rivaling group. We would be honored if you would consider this. If you accept our invitation please show up behind Branford at 3:13 in the morning on Friday ,make sure you are not followed , once their put on the blindfold so we may pick you up. We know that you have classes and a family dinner on said date but we are still hoping you come. signed the Crimson Blood Brigade. Siempre listo Siempre fiel.' Wow!You know that last part there phrase means Always ready, Always Faithful it's Spanish."
"You're gonna say yes right."
"Actually..."
"Actually!Actually what?"
"Well I kinda wanted to join the LDB."
"But have they invited you to join?"
"Well...not really."
"Then forget about them. They are to late."
The CBB. Has a nice ring to it maybe this won't be so bad. Who needs the LDB. Right. Friday 3:13a.m .This would be interesting.
Chap 2:Coffee Talk Rory asks Logan out on a date. Tons of coffee banter.
."Hey Huntzberger."
He opened one of his eye's looked at her, sat up, and said "what can I do for you, Ace."
"Well first if you are gonna sleep you should go back to your room 'cause your snoring is distracting."He chuckled looked down and shook his head before she continued "and..."he looked up.
"And what Ace?"
"And you could go out to dinner with me on Saturday, and coffee that is a given."
Logan looked at her, he was surprised but he was not gonna show it. Instead he decided to play with her."You're asking me out, Ace?"
"Yes I am. So you wanna or not."
"Like a date?"
"Yeah."She was starting to get nervous that maybe he wouldn't wanna go out with her but she was determined for him not to see her nervous.
"Yeah, Ace. I'll go out with you."
Looks like Rory has a full weekend. Friday she's going to be with the CBB. Saturday date with Logan. A interesting weekend ahead.
Chap 3:The Pick-up Rory is picked up by some of the CBB's members and brought to a beach.
A noise came from behind her."Glad you could come Miss Lorelai Leigh."said a strong but soft male voice as he lightly grabbed her arm to steer her to where they were going.
After the car ride.
"You comin'?"Mike popped his head back in when she didn't get out.
"Yeah."Rory grabbed his hand. When her eyes saw what was in front of her she gasped"Wow."She inhaled slightly"Brigade's sure have a thing for white."Rory looked around She saw the beautiful starry sky (that was starting to slowly disappear because of the sunrise) It came to rest on a beach with white sand and beautiful crystal blue water. Lined along the beach were little wooden shacks (they were about three feet off the ground on pillars, and the shacks had white sheet doors and curtains) The lighting was coming from several lanterns that were connected by white Christmas lights. In the midst of all these things were people standing bare foot wearing white suit's and dresses (like you might see in old black and white movies where all the characters say stuff like femme fetal or the Fed's).
"You ready to go."Mike's voice interrupted her trance.
What had she went and gotten herself dragged into.
This is where our story starts.
Chapter 4:Cabin Mates
Rory walked towards the beach with Mike guiding her ,his hand on the small of her back, as she got closer she begin's to see that the white outfits of the CBB crew have all the little details in crimson (like the tie's, cuff links, and buttons on the boys and jewelry, hair barretts, finger, and toe nail polish on the girls). Mike started to lead her up the steps a cabin. They stopped outside the door (which is a curtain). Rory looked up when Mike started to speak 'he is tall' she thought. "You'll be sharing this cabin with Brit, who will answer your question's, and Cece who will help you to get ready. You met Cece in the car." Mike finished talking put his hands into his pockets and turned to walk away. About half way down the steps he turned to Rory again "Two more things. One I need the stuff we asked you to bring."
"Oh. Sure hold on." Rory started fumble with her bag ,that was on her shoulder, looking for the stuff effectively dropping her bag and going a deep red as she kneeled down to pick up her things.
Mike kneeled down beside her and helped her pick up her stuff "Don't worry about it. This kinda stuff happens to everyone." he said when he seen her blushing. Rory smiled as they stood. She handed him the items. "And the papers Rory."
"Well...umm...it's just..."
"Your worried what will think of you when we see them?"
"Yes" she said looking at the ground.
"No one is gonna read your darkest secret."
"Then why did I have to write it? Why did I have to bring it?"
"To show that you trust us even though you don't know us, but you don't have to give me the darkest secret paper til' you are ready."
"I don't?"
"No you don't, but until you trust us we won't trust you." Rory hesitantly handed Mike the papers that told of her darkest secret and greatest fear.
"Are you guys gonna read my greatest fear? Or is that another trust test?"
"No that one were gonna read." he smiled at her.
"And the second thing."
"Watch out for Brit." with that Mike tipped an invisible hat and walked away towards a cabin in the distance.
Rory turned towards the cabin entrance took a deep breath and walked in 'why do I already have to watch out for someone' . Inside the cabin was a very simple set up. There was three beds one against each of the walls (except the wall were the door was), the bed across from the doorway had a suitcase on it, the bed against the wall on her left has a window over it and a beautiful dress (that was dark red with black lace flowers all around it ,under the bust was a velvet sash about a inch long that matched the straps of the dress ,the dress appeared to be knee length), and the bed on the wall to her right also has a window over it and has the girl from the limo (the one with black hair and glowing green eyes) laying on it (wearing a white dress with a strap that went around her neck, the dress came to her knees and looked as though it was cut so a good amount of cleavage was showing) her toes and finger nails were already painted and she was flipping through a magazine. On the wall where the door is there is a vanity with drawers. Next to the bed across from the door were two small end tables with lamps on them and on each end table there was two drawers.
"Brit likes to be woken up by the sun." Rory was scared out of her gaze when the girl Cece began to talk. Cece continued as Rory tried to slow her heart with her hand "Since the sun comes up over the beach ,which is just outside the door , she gets the bed straight in front of you."Cece sat up and pointed to the bed she was referring to."You'll be sleeping on that bed."She pointed to the bed with the dark red dress on it."Now I've been told I have to help you get ready for the days festivities."
They stood there for a moment more before Rory asked "What am I supposed to wear?"
"That dress."
"But that dress is red with black on it."
"Yeah."Cece said slowly.
"The others outside and even you are wearing white with a little red."
"Yours is different because you aren't a member yet."
"Oh."Rory paused before her next question popped out of her "So I'm like a pledge? Like in all those movies and tv shows when some one is trying to get into a sorority or fraternity they make them wear goofy shirts and hats so every one knows who they are?"
"Yeah pretty much."Cece shrugged.
"Really?"
"Yep. But hey bright side that dress is not goofy."
"Definitely not."Rory walked over to the dress and put it on when she was done changing Cece told her to sit at the stool in front of the vanity."This dress fits perfectly. Dose everyone know my dress size?"
"Do you want your hair straightened, curled, or up?"
"Are you gonna answer my question's?"
"I think curled and halfway up but leaving hair close to your face lose in curls also."
"Someone was supposed to be in here to answer my question's."
"Yeah I know but Brit is...well...she doesn't like you."
"She doesn't like me? But she doesn't even know me. Dose she" I've never met a Brit. I don't think."
"Most likely you don't know her. But you are an exception to her beloved rules, like we said earlier in the car."
"So she doesn't like me 'cause I was an exception to the rules?"
"Pretty much."
"How nice."
"But then who is gonna answer my question's?"
"No clue. Now sit still or your hair is gonna come out lopsided."
They sat there in quiet while Cece continued to style Rory's hair.
Rory started look as though she was going to explode. So as expected her question's began to pour out"Why are there so many cabins? Are we staying over night? What time will be back? Are all these brigade things over night? Will we be here all weekend? Where are the bathrooms? Are we gonna be here long enough that we're gonna need a shower? Am I expected to do my business by a tree or is there a toilet? How many tests am I going to do? Are you, that other girl and me always gonna room together or dose it switch out? Are you always gonna be the one helping me get ready or am I gonna do that on my own after tonight?"
Rory stopped to take a breath and Cece jumped in "I'm not going to answer your question's. I can't I'm not allowed."
"Sorry I just..."
"Yeah I know I was the same way."
They lapsed into another comfortable silence.
"Bathroom's?"Cece asked with a broad grin.
They fell into giggles. Someone cleared there throat.
Busted.
A.N:Okay, I didn't mean to leave the cliff hanger it just sort of happened to sound good that way (plus I was fighting myself, every time I fight myself I always lose and win strange). I don't usually leave an authors note at the end but I felt the bathroom thing needed to be explained. I have always wondered how they did normal human things like that and my sister's are always screaming at me saying "It's a show don't over analyze" and "Who cares". I tell you I happen to care very deeply I mean that is definitely a question I would ask. Wouldn't you? Now I am done rambling so you can go back to your everyday lives (unless you don't want to then you can come hang out with me in crazy land, just take a left at never land and your there).
