Rory woke up the next morning after what seemed like an eternity of sleep and thinking. Those things her mother had said could not have possibly been true, or could they?
"Hey, sleepy head." Lorelai said to her, as she slowly sat up in bed.
"What time is it?" Rory said sleepily.
"7." Lorelai replied.
"I'm going back to sleep--"Rory was cut off by Lorelai, who pushed her out of bed forcefully.
"You can't! We're expected to be in Littletown by 9! You need to take a shower and get dressed, go!"
"Fine, but you didn't have to push me out of bed, and hey, why are you awake? And look at that, DRESSED and ready to go!" Rory noticed.
"I had a dream where coffee was being taken away from me by those mean people at the reunion." She replied as she stared dreamily at her coffee.
"That explains it."
"I know. Now go." Lorelai shooed her, and Rory quickly got in the shower.
~*~
"Look at this, everyone's here on time. It seems like the Twilight Zone. Doo-doo-doo-doo." Lorelai stated as they walked into the ballroom of the house.
"What's wrong with them?" Rory asked as she looked around.
"I think they're---normal." Lorelai replied. "No, no, they can't be. We're normal."
Rory looked at her intently, "No, I think you were right the first time."
"Mom! There you are! C'mon, Rory, let's go eat breakfast with Grandma." Lorelai and Rory walked up to Emily.
"Hey there, you two, how was your night?" She asked.
"It was comfortable. It wasn't what we're used to which is crickets and noises like that, it was actually more of cars and music blasting." Rory described.
"Well that's the city." Emily smiled.
"I'm just glad I didn't stay here, I know we live in a small town, but this couldn't even be called a town." Lorelai said.
"So would you all like to get some breakfast? I don't know about you two, but I'm starving."
"Sure." They replied in unison and walked to the line.
"Oh, goody, we can have coffee now." Lorelai said happily.
They stood in the line, and when the coffee came in site, Lorelai got herself two cups. "I know this isn't going to be enough, so I'll just take one more." With that, she grabbed three more.
"That's not one more, Mom." Rory said.
"Yes it is." She replied.
"For who, Lorelai? People who can't count?" Emily asked.
"Exactly." She nodded.
"Whatever." Rory grabbed the coffee cup, when an older woman slapped her hand.
"Hey, why did you do that?" Rory asked as she rubbed her hand.
"No child is supposed to have caffeine." The lady replied sternly.
"Well that sucks, but she's no child." Lorelai replied.
"Yes, she is, she's under 18." The lady replied sternly.
"Please, let my granddaughter have some coffee." Emily begged calmly. Lorelai and Rory looked at her, wondering about the change in her.
"It's fine; I'll just have some orange juice." Rory said.
"Fine then," Lorelai frowned, along with Emily. They walked away to a table.
"Here." Lorelai handed Rory a cup of coffee.
"That's very unlike you, Lorelai. It's very-smart." Emily said proudly.
"I don't usually give up my coffee, but it's Rory. But, listen Rory, this is a one time deal. Tomorrow, you're going to have to bring your own coffee." Lorelai said, acting very stern.
"Okay. But you're going to have to help me sneak it in." Rory replied.
"Okay."
"These people are really strict, even for me." Emily said.
"I agree with you, that lady was about to give birth to bear cubs when Rory reached for the coffee." Lorelai replied as she ate.
"I don't see what the big deal is. I think you become an adult when you really act like one." Emily added.
Rory took a sip of the coffee, "So do I."
Lorelai did the same, and then stood up. "Well, I'm done."
"So am I." Emily said as she walked away and threw her trash away, with the two girls following.
"Thanks for the coffee, Mom." Rory said as they walked around the ballroom,
"You're welcome. But you owe me big." Lorelai said.
"Hide me." Rory stated as she tried to walk away.
"What? Why?" Lorelai asked as she looked around.
"Tristan." Rory said too late.
"Well hello, Mary, nice to see you again." He smirked.
"Oh, Rory, is this that boy you were talking about?" Emily asked.
"You were talking about me, Mary?" He asked.
"Yes it is, Grandma." Rory said through closed teeth.
"Oh, hello, I'm Emily, Rory's grandmother. What's your name?" She said.
"Tristan DuGrey." He replied.
"Oh, I know you're mother, Laura, we're both on the Green Committee."
"Lorelai, Rory's mom." Lorelai introduced herself, as she got in front of Emily and Rory.
"How do you do, Lorelai." He replied smiling.
"He seems like a fine boy, Rory." Emily whispered to Rory as Lorelai began talking to him about how she was.
'What is wrong with this family? Am I all of a sudden his soulmate?' Rory thought to herself as her mother and grandmother talked to him, and he winked at her without either of them noticing. Just then Uncle George walked up to the podium, and people turned around, including Rory, Lorelai, Emily, and of course, Tristan.
"Okay, every one, Good morning." Uncle George said through the microphone. Most people replied by saying 'Good Morning' in unison.
"Well today we have a lot planned. We are first going on a tour of the house. So to get ready for that, all children should go to the right side of the room, and the adults to the left. We will go separately in groups from there." He said, and everyone scurried around.
"Okay, Rory, Tristan, see you two later." Lorelai said and walked over to the very left, and Emily waved and followed.
"Well it looks like it's just you and me, Rory." He smiled.
"Oh, how dandy." She said sarcastically.
"Okay, children, myself and my sister Celia are going to separate you all into eight groups by age." An old lady explained. The two ladies began separating people into groups.
"You're going to be in group one." Celia said nicely as she put a random sticker on Rory's hand. Rory slowly walked over to hers.
"Well it looks like we'll be seeing a lot of each other, Mary." He said as he followed her to the group one area.
Rory frowned angrily, "Wait, you mean we're both in the same GROUP? I personally didn't like the idea, but now I HATE it!"
"Aw, stop being so mean, Mary." He said as they sat in seats under the number one sign.
"The name is RORY!" She said to him. As the seats filled up, a young lady walked up and smiled.
"Hi everyone, I'm you're tour guide for the day, Gen. Follow me, and we'll look around the house." She said, and walked, and the group followed.
"This is the first floor, what you'll mainly find here is the kitchen, the main hall, the first floor bathrooms, and the two ballrooms." She pointed out as they walked around.
They went up the very fancy stairwell to get to the second floor, of what Rory thought would be the last floor, "Now on the second floor, you'll find the dance room, where everyone learns different types of dance, the master bedrooms, the children's bedrooms, the bathrooms, the lounge area, and the library."
They now walked up another set of stairs," We're now on the third floor, which has the movie theater, the children's play area, the bathrooms, some of the guest rooms, and some of the meeting rooms." She explained.
They walked onto the last floor, "This floor is basically only guestrooms, but the exercise room and the recreational room with the indoor pool are also up here." She said and showed the group into a small room that resembled Rory and Lorelai's hotel room.
"Okay, so now that you're familiar with the house, let's introduce ourselves and where we're from in the group one room, let's start with you." Gen pointed at a girl with dark curls in her hair.
"I'm Ella." She said, and a girl who looked exactly like her introduced herself, "I'm Bella, we're twins, and we live here."
'Typical country bumpkins. 'Rory thought to herself.
"I'm Gregory, and I also live here." A freckled boy said.
"I'm Kathryn, and I'm from Texas." A girl with wavy red hair in a ponytail said.
"I'm Abby and I'm from Beverly Hills." A girl who had blonde highlighted hair said.
It was Tristan's turn, "I'm Tristan and I'm from Hartford." Abby licked her lips and smiled at him seductively.
Everyone turned to Rory as they waited for her to introduce herself, "I'm Rory and I'm from Stars Hollow."
"Stars Hollow? Where's that?" Gregory asked her.
"It's in Connecticut, near Hartford." She replied.
"So now that you all know each other, I'm going to leave you all, and let you all talk." Gen said and left.
"So is that a small town? I've never hear of it." Gregory said.
"Yeah, there are about 1,800 people living there." Rory nodded.
"Damn, that's a small town!" Kathryn said and sneakily pulled out some vitamins.
"You forgot to take some vitamins this morning?" Bella asked in her country accent.
"No." She replied and ate another Scooby Doo vitamin.
"Well why are you eating them?" Ella asked in the same country accent.
"'Cause they're good-and I'm addicted."
Bella frowned, "I didn't know you could be addicted to vitamins."
"You can't." Gregory stated simply.
"Stop being such a smartass." Kathryn said back to him.
"Uh, oh, you swore. Now you're going to a bad place." Ella shook her head.
"She is, now you two remember not to do that," Gregory said to his younger sisters.
Abby began her own conversation, "So, Tristan, do you have a girlfriend?"
"No, I don't." He replied and scooted away from her.
"Oh, well, want to hang out after this?" She asked and scooted in closer to close the gap he made.
"You're such a whore, Abby." Kathryn said to her after she ate yet another vitamin.
"Well at least I'm not a wannabe badass." She retorted.
"Kathryn is right. You're throwing yourself at one of your relatives." Gregory said.
"Shut up!" Abby yelled, "So Tristan, you're not into me?"
"No, I'm interested in another Gilmore." He replied, and looked over at Rory.
__________________________
I hope you liked it. That was one of the longest chapters I've written so far. Hopefully, they won't usually be that long. I'm sorry that I didn't put in all that I said I would in this chapter, but I thought this was a good place to stop, and not make it seem like this is one of the last chapters, which it's not. I know the characters seem kind of stereotypical, but I've only started to right them out. Let me just tell you, you're in for a small surprise in the next chapters with one of the people in the group. Abby is not just a slutty character like Sarah Michelle Gellar's character in Cruel Intentions, Gregory is more than a smart mouth, and Kathryn is more than a wannabe badass. So keep those things in mind until the next chapter. Bye bye until next time!
