A/N: Ok well, i wasn't sure how long it would be until i updated again so i made this a farily long chapter, and i promise you there is guaranteed Trory action in here...even more to come in the next chapters...but definitely some in here lol. Hope you like and please review!

It was the Sunday before camp, Chilton, being the snobbish school it was, only gave the senior class two weeks notice to be ready for the annual trip, probably figuring that their parents could wire the money into the school like that, the trip was to last two weeks and would take place in Australia, 'oh yeah, it was definitely a school for the rich, first class plane', the first week was spent on a private property, preparing students for the next week- work experience in the city.

The night before the trip Rory and Lorelai were packing,

"Clothes?"

"Check!"

"Toiletries?"

"Check!"

"Torch?"

"Check!"

"Junk food supplies?"

"Check!"

"Boring books?" Rory glared,

"Check!"

"Condoms?"

"Mom!"

"Well, you never know what could happen on a camp with a bunch of horny teens,"

"Mom, I'm the Mary of this school, I don't think you need to worry,"

"They think you're a Mary, I remember the times when you were slutting around like no tomorrow,"

"And I got help, I stopped, got tested, we moved here and I haven't had sex since,"

"I know, and that sucks for you," she patted her daughters shoulder, "And me, it was so much more fun when I had to continuously check that you had contraception with you the whole time,"

"Are you encouraging me to be a slut so that you can feel more like a mommy?"

"Not a slut, but getting laid might make you relax a bit; you've been really uptight lately,"

"Normal moms don't tell their kids to do that and I'm still on the pill so don't put the condoms in,"

"I'm not a normal mom and why are you still on the pill?"

"When I tried to go off them I started throwing up a lot,"

"Well, just pack these in case, it'll make me feel better knowing that your not getting diseases,"

"Fine," Rory sighed,

"So…" Lorelai said, "Are you going to tell me why you haven't spoken about your father when I know you saw him while you were in Cali?" they sat on Rory's bed together,

"You really wanna know what happened?"

"Well, yeah,"

"I told him that I forgive him for everything," Rory looked down,

"What! Why?"

"Mom, Sherry left him and she's pregnant, she doesn't want the kid but dad does, so as soon as the baby's born Sherry's going to dump it on him and leave forever so dad's gonna have a lot on his plate and I want him to be good with the kid, you know so he doesn't screw up like he did with me so the kid can grow up and not be as screwed up as me, anyway it's not like I see him all the time so it shouldn't be too hard,"

"Oh honey, you are not screwed up because your dad screwed up, I'd say you just got lost for a while and then became stronger,"

"Hmmm, maybe, but still I think it's something he needed to hear to help him build the confidence to raise this child right,"

"I swear sometimes you are to nice for your own good," Lorelai said, "So back to packing, we should put some of those old slutty clothes in and then you can show me photos from the trip and I can yell at you when you get home for being slutty," Lorelai suggested excitedly, Rory laughed at her mom,

"I think I'll stick to the Mary look and be a goody two shoes while I'm there,"

"And ruin mommy's fun," Lorelai pouted, "You gotta have fun sometime kid, you can't keep living in this bubble, it's not good for you," and with that she left leaving Rory to her own thoughts.

The next day Lorelai was working so Luke took her to the airport. Luke offered to wait until the plane boarded but Rory graciously declined, she wanted to use up all the time she had by herself before she was suffocating in a pool of Chiltonites.

She entered the airport and headed towards where she was supposed to meet her class, from a distance she saw Paris going over her packing list for what was sure to be the millionth time, not wanting to get pulled into helping she turned back to the car park.

She found a spot behind a car not too far from the entrance and sparked up a ciggie, 'I know I told myself I'd quit, but I'm going on a Chilton trip, two weeks on another continent, surrounded by snobby socialites and I have to hide behind the innocent mask 24/7, I deserve the right to have death sticks' Rory thought as she quickly smoked the cigarette.

Tristan rolled into the airport car park in his family's limo, he could've sworn he just saw Rory 'Mary' Gilmore putting out a cigarette, he turned in his seat but once again she was gone, 'I am truly losing my mind,' he thought.

On the plane ride Rory sat next to Paris, they didn't talk much, just did their own thing. For some reason Rory found herself often glancing towards the back of the plane where Tristan was situated, 'What is wrong with me?' she thought.

Once in Australia there was a three hour bus ride before they got to the 'campsite' which was more of a resort, it was Hayden property after all.

The students filed onto the bus, Rory sat by her self, figuring that Paris would once again sit next to her, but to her dismay it was Tristan who hopped onto the seat,

"Mary, oh Mary, my heart has yearned to be near you since we left and now I am here, I can finally rest," Tristan cried dramatically before resting his head on her shoulder, Rory rolled her eyes and shrugged him off,

"Why are you sitting here?"

"Didn't I just cover that?"

"Well, maybe I'm saving this spot for someone,"

"Oh really now, like who?"

"You heard her boy this seat is saved, obviously for me, so move!" demanded Paris as she stomped over,

"You sure you want me to move?" Paris just raised an eyebrow in response,

"Well, you see Paris if I stay here there's only one seat left available on the bus for you to take,"

"Your point?"

"Take a look at that seat," Paris and Rory both scanned the bus for the last seat, when spotted Paris' eyes immediately brightened,

"I guess since you're already in this seat I could leave it alone and take that one, be nice to her DuGray, I'm sleeping in the same room as her and I don't need to hear about how annoying you are," she scampered off and took the seat next to Derek.

Rory glared at Tristan, even though for some odd reason him sitting next to her, didn't bother her as much as she presumed,

"I hate you," she declared, Tristan moved over and whispered in her ear,

"Is that our code for I love you? Because if it is I hate you too," he winked and leaned back in his seat,

"Ugh! This is a three hour bus ride, during the first hour I'm going to read while ignoring you, during the second I'm gonna stare out the window while ignoring you and during the third I'm gonna do…something while ignoring you," she said as she opened a book,

"Okay well since your third hour seems pretty uneventful, I'll let you know that there's a lot of things that I can do to you while you're attempting to ignore me," he wiggled his eyebrows suggestively, she continued reading.

Tristan continued to bug Rory, playing with her, occasionally pulling it, rubbing her arm and flicking at her book. Finally she had enough,

"Tristan! Seriously!"

"Mary, with you, I'm always serious," he replied feigning innocence, she replied making a sound that could only be described as a vicious growl,

"Oh Mary! You animal!" he said excitedly, "I knew you were kinky," he whispered the last,

"What would it take for you to leave me alone?" she sighed,

"I couldn't, even if I tried," she was surprised at the sincerity in his voice but chose to ignore it,

"What about for the bus trip then?"

"What's in it for me?"

"I dunno, anything you want,"

"Anything I want? You're willing to take that big of a risk for a peaceful bus ride?"

"Ugh! You know what I mean," she said sounding angry,

"Jeez Mare, you gotta learn to lighten up,"

"I know how to 'lighten up'" she said using finger quotes, "I can be so light that I could be up there floating with the clouds,"

"Really?"

"Yep," she said proudly,

"Then prove it,"

"Huh?"

"That's my request, I behave and leave you alone during the bus ride and you have to 'lighten up' for the whole two weeks that we're here,"

"You get two weeks and I get under three hours?"

"I use a lot more self discipline, how about I don't bug you for the first week when we get back?"

"I'll say deal if I can get a few conditions,"

"Shoot,"

"You get to meet the real 'lightened up' Rory Gilmore only for the two weeks, meaning that it will be like a what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas except replace the Vegas with Australia, when we get back we pretend nothing happened or changed, I'll be the school's innocent nobody and you stay king. We never mention anything again okay?"

"You are making a really big deal of this you only have to be less up tight,"

"Uh-uh I'm upping you,"

"How?"

"You'll see, think you can handle it DuGray? Because I'm not sure you can," she whispered seductively, her warm breath hitting his neck, he held his breath and nodded, she went back to her book 'he won't know what hit him,' she smiled evilly at her own thoughts.

True to his word he didn't bother her the whole time, he occasionally glanced, admiring her beauty, 'what does she mean the real her? I couldn't handle her? What have I gotten myself into?'

They reached the Hayden's mini resort structure; it was in a secluded area surrounded by trees located near the beach of the Great Ocean Road. The student luggage was unloaded and sent to their modern styled cabins.

Rory had seen maps, plans and photos of this place but had never actually been there. None of the staff except the manager who had been told of the situation knew who Rory really was.

After being told the resort rules and given itineraries and pamphlets the students were free to go off and explore. Rory decided it was time to 'lighten up' a little, she grabbed Tristan by the hand and pulled him around the back of one of the buildings with her, surprisingly no one else noticed.

"What are you doing?" Tristan questioned, he wasn't annoyed, just curious and intrigued,

"Lightening up," she said with a mischievous glint in her eye, biting her lip, 'my god she's beautiful,' thought Tristan, she took him by surprise by shoving him up against the wall, pressing herself against him,

"Rory?" he questioned, confused, 'what is she doing? Does she know what she's doing to me?'

She didn't answer, instead she attacked his neck forcefully with her lips, she lifted one of her legs up and wrapped it around him, allowing her skirt to ride up, one hand, she wrapped around his neck for support while her other hand held tightly onto his. He gasped in surprise at her actions, he was unsure of what to do, he just froze he felt her tongue trace his jaw line, 'am I dreaming?' he wondered, but all thoughts stopped again as she guided one of his hands up the back of her skirt revealing to him that she had a thong on. He gulped, she smiled,

"And you think you can handle me?" she questioned in his ear, and pried herself off him, he was still frozen in shock,

"Uh…..ummm," he stammered,

"Gotta say bibleboy, I expected more from you from what I heard in the girls toilets, they must really tend to exaggerate," she mocked him, he still stared at her in awe, she kept smiling, extremely amused, "Oh my DuGray, are you speechless?"

"No," was his lame response, she giggled,

"If you want more 'lightening up' meet me here tonight at half past eleven, and dress to party," she kissed his chin and left him there.

'What the hell just happened?' he stood there motionless for another good five minutes before finally leaving.

Rory arrived to the cabin room she was sharing with Paris empty, she was thankful for that. Her mind was scattered, 'Do I know what I'm doing? Of course I do, I've done it a million times before, but this is different and you know it, maybe but I already started, just don't get attached… oh my god, am I having a conversation with myself? Yes' she shook her head and headed to the bathroom to wash her face with cold water.

After calming down, Rory sat on a bed and pulled her cell phone out and called a familiar number,

"Hello?"

"Finny!"

"Love, is that you?"

"You? No I'm just the coffee princess?"

"Love it is you!"

"Finn, you just earned yourself a golden star,"

"Score!" he yelled into the phone, Rory laughed, 'God, I miss my friends' she thought,

"Finny although I love talking to you I'm going to need to talk to a more responsible person who will remember what I say,"

"First of all how can you say I'm not responsible? And secondly, what makes you think there are others with me?"

"Firstly you're too cool for responsibility and secondly when are you not being supervised, now put Steph or Rose on,"

"Why thankyou, but the girls are out shopping, it's tragic really,"

"Figures, fine put Logan on,"

"Will do, love you love,"

"Hello?"

"Logan!"

"Ace?"

"Don't you guys remember my voice anymore?"

"Of course we do just making sure it's not my imagination, we haven't from you in a while,"

"I'm sorry, now the reason I called, you guys all sunk the yacht so you're crashing at Finn's beach house right?"

"If you called to lecture us I'm hanging up now,"

"Promise I'm not, it's actually a good thing,"

"Oh really?"

"Uh huh, I'm gonna need you to come to the Hayden resort before midnight to pick me and a friend up, take me to Finn's to change and then we are all going to party,"

"Are you serious?"

"Would I joke about that?"

"I should hope not, hot friend?"

"Yeah, but of the male species,"

"Damn, oh well, Ace I gotta go before Finn gets into trouble, can't wait til tonight though, love ya,"

"Don't tell the girls and I love you too," She put her phone away and leaned back onto the pillows, 'Tonight's gonna be good,' she smiled.

Reminding you once again to please review and i promise to...love you forever...lol
