Family Reunion
A/N: Thank you, so, so much for the replies. Here's the awaited (at least
I wish) CHAPTER SEVEN. It's a start off for the romance that's about to
bloom. So please enjoy this longer chapter. I've been killing myself
writing two stories at once! No, no, the other is not a fanfic.just a
little project. But school won't start for a while, so I'm good so far.
I'm also starting a website for GILMORE GIRLS that isn't ready to be open
to public for at least a few weeks, but I think the idea is original and I
plan to have a little graphic thing for Family Reunion (I LOVE doing those)
and just if you wanted to know, today is Friday, August 09, 2002. That's
when I've begun, because I have a busy weekend ahead of me. So enjoy, pop
yourself some popcorn, and watch the show! (In more ways then one)

"We're back here safely." Abby sighed as they reached the bottom of the hill again. "I thought I'd die on that trail with all those bugs."
Gen laughed, "Well you better get used to them because we're going to be out a lot."
"Out as in to Saks, right?" She asked getting a bit paranoid.
"No, no. Outside, in fact, we have a picnic lunch today."
"Picnic lunch?" Kathryn asked.
"Yeah. I think some sandwiches and little lunch things like that." Gen replied.\
"Oh. I love picnics. I actually love the wilderness. My grandparents, who live very near me, own a ranch." Kathryn explained.
Gen nodded in understanding.
"So do you ride horses a lot?" Gregory asked.
"Yeah. Sometimes we go swimming in the lake."
"Cool. We do that, too." Bella smiled.
"Yeah, there's a swimming hole that we're going to, tomorrow. So bring your bathing suits. That's it for today. You all have a nice evening." Gen waved goodbye and left.
"Bye!" Kathryn waved back, and the others did also. "What a bitch."
"What do you mean a bitch? You were just kissing her ass!" Abby replied.
"Yeah what was that change in you?" Gregory asked.
"It was.nothing. I was the same." She answered quietly.
"Let's go eat lunch." Ella said to her sister.
"Okay. It was nice meeting you all. And by the way, the chef's food is to die for." Bella said, and they walked away.
"Yeah, I'm going to die staying in this messed up Beverly Hillbilly place." Abby mumbled loud enough for everyone to hear.
"You're one to talk, you're from Beverly Hills!" Kathryn replied and the two argued as they left.
"So uh, I'm going to go, too. Would you like to join me, Rory?" Gregory asked.
"Um, sorry Greg, I think I'm going to sit with my mom and grandmother." She replied.
He looked down, "Oh, okay. Well see you tomorrow." With that, he walked away leaving the two alone.
"I'm going to go see my mom and Grandma. So I'll talk to you after lunch?" Rory said to Tristan.
"Of course, Mary. I've got to go see my parents, also, anyway." She hugged him quickly and ran to her mother in the distance.
"I should catch her from falling more often." He smiled to himself, and he too, left.

"Hey, again." Lorelai said to Rory, as she walked up to her and Emily.
"Hey." She replied.
"Was that Tristan you were hugging, Rory?" Emily asked curiously.
"Yeah, long story. I'll tell you two after while we eat, I'm starving."
"Okay, me too. We are so tired out from socializing." Lorelai said and acted dramatically.
They laughed, got their food, and found a table.
Once they were eating, Lorelai continued the last conversation, "So what were you doing hugging Tristan?"
"Well, you know how I was all mad about having to be in the same little group thing as him." Rory started.
"No we didn't." Lorelai replied.
"Well we were, it was divided by age. So anyway, we got a tour of the house, and we had to stay in this little room, introduce ourselves, and then Gen, I think she's the group leader, left. There's Ella and Bella, they're the twins that live here, their older brother Gregory, Kathryn, the wannabe bad girl from Texas who sucks up to adults and is 'addicted' to vitamins, Abby, the snotty, rich, Beverly Hills girl, Tristan, and me."
"Mmm hmmm. Go on." Emily said.
"Well, Abby, being the slut that she is, hits on Tristan, and wants to you know .get closer. But then he says he likes another Gilmore, which is perfectly fine since he's not related by blood to anyone in that group. Well we go on this trail, and he says to me, 'I'll catch you if you fall.' Or something like that. And then, I guess I wasn't looking, but then I almost trip, and he catches me."
"What a sweetheart. If there were guys like that my age, I'd be married already." Lorelai sighed.
"So then we started talking and we called a truce. And he tells me how I'm the only girl at Chilton who doesn't care about what others think and things like that, because I ask if we'd be friends even when school starts. And he called me his Mary. I kissed him on the cheek as a thank you, and then we've been friendly ever since."
"So 'ever since' means since after the trail?" Emily smiled.
Rory laughed, "Yeah, basically."
"Okay. I see now." Lorelai joked, "That sure is a long time. Way back in the old days when TV was TV, and coffee.was still delicious."
The three laughed, "Rory is that the other boy in your group? He seems to be looking at you." Emily stated quietly.
"Yeah, that's Gregory. It's really weird; he invited me to sit with him."
"Yeah that is weird, like Cruel Intentions started a trend, 'Like a family member'." Lorelai added.
"Well, I'm done." Rory stood up and threw away the paper plate in a nearby trashcan. "I told Tristan we'd talk after lunch, so I'm going."
"Ok, sweetie, we'll talk later. Go talk to your future husband." Lorelai smiled.
"Yeah, go talk to him, Rory." Emily agreed.
"Ok. Bye for now." Rory waved and walked away.
"It's really great that Rory has another friend at Chilton. Tristan seems very nice and he's also very handsome." Emily said.
"Oh, yeah, Rory kissed him once, but she had just broken up with Dean the first time, and he then left for military school. She was pretty sad." Lorelai explained.
"Well, I think it'll all work out in the end, maybe even in marriage." Emily replied.
"So do I. Hey do you want to go ditch this place and maybe get some coffee?" Lorelai asked.
"I would love to, you know that, but we have to protect Richard's 'reputation'." Emily laughed.
"But my daily coffee fix." Lorelai whined.
Emily sighed, "Deal with it."

That's chapter seven. I know it doesn't explain much, and doesn't have everything I said it would, but whatever I didn't put in here, and said I would, will make up chapter eight. : )
I know it might have been pretty boring, but it'll fill in the gaps as to how Emily and Lorelai know. Rory explained. Hehehe. Of course right? But I wanted to make sure you saw when, and stuff like that.
Okay, until next week. Bye Bye.
