Reviewers: Thank you all for reviewing. It means so much to me it really does. Without you all I wouldn't be writing anymore. And now, I'm going to be able to write, and finally complete my fics. Don't worry though this fic has a long way to go before it's done!

Author's Note: Wow another update! Hehe see I told you all I was excited about writing this chapter! And the next few chapters... now if only I could get excited about my other fics... anyways now who thought I wouldn't update this fast? Who thought you'd have a 6 month wait for the next chapter? I hope this is the start of me writing fast again. I won't promise anything, but hopefully I will be able to write faster now. After this update, I'm going to hopefully update a few of my other fics. Two of my fics make me cringe just thinking about them so I may rewrite them. Those two fics are my earlier fics, and looking back on them I don't know what the heck I was thinking in some parts...The boys are all in this chapter! Lol this is going to be fun to write... Anyways onto the chapter!

Dedicated: This chapter is dedicated to my best friend Kristina, without you I don't know what I would have done. You've really helped me through a lot and for that I am forever grateful.

Recap:

"She won't go" Lorelai whispered "she won't go anywhere without those friends of hers."

"Colin won't go anywhere without his friends either" Christopher replied wisely. "I think that in order for this family to heal, and become a real family again the twins are the first that need to come together again."

"And how are we going to do that exactly?" Lorelai asked, clearly unsure about her husband's idea.

"We send them camping." Christopher said with a smile, looking quite proud of himself for coming up with the idea. "and we let each of them take their friends with them. I'm sure that they are going to fight, but each group is going to have to learn to get over it and get through it. Because like it or not they'll have to work together. This weekend is a long weekend for the kids, they can go then."

"If they don't kill each other first" Lorelai muttered

"Just trust me Lorelai" Christopher said "this will work I promise. And when they get back, it will be our turn to make it up to Rory."

"Fine" Lorelai replied "but you get to tell the kids" and with that said, she walked away.

Chapter 9:

"I can't believe my parents are making us go camping!" Rory whined into the phone. "I'm not the camping type! There are gonna be bugs, aren't there? I don't do well with bugs! One of them could eat me or something..." She ranted.

"Bugs aren't going to eat you Ror." Carter replied, clearly amused "And I promise if we see any bugs I'll kill them for you, like always." He said giving her a big cheesy smile.

"Fine!" Rory said with a pout, as she placed clothes into a suitcase, she decided to take a different approach. "But do I really have to sleep on the ground? I mean come on, the ground isn't all that comfy, and I have a bad back!"

"Yes, you have to sleep on the ground." Carter replied smirking slightly, as he too put clothes into a suitcase. "And you do not have a bad back, that's just an excuse not to go. And in case you don't remember, you're bringing an air mattress. So technically you're not sleeping on the ground."

"You're mean!" Rory said, clearly upset that Carter wasn't agreeing with her. "Let me talk to Finn, at least he's nice to me." She said dramatically.

"You know I'm right!" Carter said with a laugh. "Besides, we'll at least be with you." At her silence he added, "Think about it…we can get them back even more." He said slyly.

"I suppose you're right." Rory replied finally, with a sigh. "But I swear to god if a bug eats me I am so coming back and haunting you!"

"Back to this again, are we?" He deadpanned. "Look we'll be there in an hour, I'll see you then…and I promise, no bugs are going to eat you!" He yelled into the phone while laughing.

"Meanie!" Rory yelled into the phone, sticking her tongue out even though Carter couldn't see her.

Carter just chuckled, and hung up the phone.

An hour later, both groups were completely packed, and stood together on the Hayden's driveway. Each group standing in there own circle, away from the other. It was clear that neither group was very happy with the situation. It was also clear that one of the groups knew for a fact that this was not going to work. In fact it would probably just make it all worse, much worse. The other group, was optimistic, believing that it would work, and two of the group members believed they would walk away from this, and Rory would be his.

After a few minutes of standing around, Finn being Finn got tired of waiting around.

"We'll meet you three jackasses there!" he called as he started to walk over to his SUV, that the Aussie Crew had decided to take.

"Fine!" Logan agreed. "Rory do you want to come with us?"

Rory snorted in response, and climbed into the backseat of Finn's car, slamming the door behind her.

"I'll take that as a no." Logan muttered, clearly upset at how Rory had reacted.

"You think?" Colin asked, as they watched the Aussie Crew, drive away. "Come on boys, we might as well get this over with."

"This weekend should be pretty interesting." Tristan said from the backseat, once they were on the road. "It'll finally give me some time to win over that sister of yours Colin."

"You mean it'll give me the chance to win her over!" Logan called from the driver's seat

"Oh please!" Tristan snorted "You're no match for me. We all know that I'll have Rory by the end of this weekend."

"Would you both knock it off!" Colin said, clearly annoyed. "Neither of you are going to do anything with my sister. And stop talking about her as if she's an object, she's not"

"Since when do you care how we talk about her?" Logan asked. "You never did before."

"Well I care now." Colin replied softly. "I want my sister back."

"You never treated her like she was your sister before." Tristan snapped. "So why the hell do you care now?" He looked at Colin in the rear view mirror and crossed his arms. "Let me guess you really don't care, you just want to make mommy and daddy happy." Tristan scoffed.

"You can't read my mind!" Colin yelled, turning in his seat to glare at Tristan. "Just stay the hell away from my sister!"

"Colin, he is right you know." Logan said calmly trying to placate both friends. "You've never cared her whole life what we did or what happened to her. And now you suddenly do? You can't expect us to believe you. No one has a change of heart that fast."

"You two seemed to have!" Colin pointed out as he turned back around in his seat.

"Whatever man." Tristan muttered. Those were the last words spoken for the remainder of the drive. Each boy, was lost in his own thoughts. Thoughts that were all centered around a certain blue eyed beauty.

Meanwhile in the Aussie Crew's car…

"Someone tell me again why I agreed to go camping?" Robert whined

"Because you love me!" Rory replied, grinning widely. "Someone tell me why I agreed to go camping too!" She pouted.

"Because your parents threatened to send you and your brother away somewhere together… alone… if you didn't." Carter said from beside Rory. "And this was the only option for us to all be together."

"I knew there was a good reason for this." Rory muttered.

"Your parent's are crazy! " Robert said. "Who in their right mind would trust us to all go camping together? Do your parent's really want to outlive you and your brother? I have a feeling that you're probably going to kill each other. No…wait I have a feeling that we are going to end up killing the three jackasses, not in the literal sense of course!"

"They think it'll be a good bonding experience for us." Rory said in a mimicking tone. "I think they are more stupid than we gave them credit for. If they honestly expect everyone to come back and be friends, then they have another thing coming." She said glaring out the window.

"They are forcing us all to go camping, and Lorelai and Chistopher didn't even have the balls to come outside and say goodbye. No wait that's not the truth! They told Colin goodbye last night, but did they say anything to me? Noooo, you know they really suck at winning people over, they never cared about me, never have, and they never will."

"That was some rant Love!" Finn said, not at all shocked by it, clearly used to Rory and her ranting.

"Well no matter what happens this weekend…" Carter said. "…it's definitely going to be fun. We so should have brought a video camera!" He changed his voice, as if he was now a talk show host. "Seven high society kids, are forced to enter the wilderness. A strong hatred has divided the group in half. Which group will survive this hell?"

Rory laughed "I did bring a video camera!" She said, grabbing her bag from the bag and rummaging through it. "I thought we could get some of the pranks we pull on them on record. It'll be fun for us to relive them later on."

"As fun as discussing video taping the three jackasses at there worst is, could you pull over Finn?" Robert asked

"Why?" Finn asked. "We're almost there."

"I have to pee." Robert replied, not at all embarrassed about his admission.

"I told you to go before we left the house!" Rory said, laughing slightly. "See? You should listen to Rory because Rory knows best!" She added smugly.

"I didn't have to go then!" Robert argued. "But now I have to go!"

"If you had gone when I told you to," Rory replied, smirking slightly. "Then you wouldn't have to go now, would you?"

"Just pull over Finn!" Robert said, as his leg began to shake.

"Noooo!!!" Rory said. "Don't pull over Finny! Not until he says who was right!"

"Fine you were right!" Robert said, now squirming in his seat.

"Yes!" Rory cheered "I was right! Go me!" She danced slightly in her seat, causing Robert to roll his eyes at Rory's antics.

"You're going to have to hold it mate." Finn said "We're going to be there in a second."

"Besides you can't go outside." Rory said with an innocent look. "Where would you wash your hands?"

"Who says he washes his hands?" Carter asked with a laugh.

"Eww!" Rory yelled, looking thoroughly disgusted. "Boys are nasty!"

"I wash my hands!" Robert said laughing slightly. "Now can we please change the subject?"

"Sure mate!" Finn replied, rolling his eyes at his friends. For once he was being the mature one. "We're here anyway." As they pulled the SUV into the campground. They looked around a bit to find the campsite. After a few minutes they found it and parked.

"It's about bloody time!" Robert yelled, running off in the direction of the bathroom, which happened to only be a short walk away.

"Wow!" Rory said as she climbed out of the car. "It's so beautiful!" as she surveyed their campsite. In front of her was the most gorgeous lake she had ever seen. The view was amazing. "I can't wait till sunset" she murmured. Along with the lake, stood a dock, that had a small speed boat tied to it. There were a ton of tree's surrounding them. With the exception of a large open space that would serve as there campsite and the small road in which they had parked on. The campsite had, a large picnic table, and a small fire pit.

"This is going to be fun!" Finn said, standing beside Rory.

"Yeah." Rory agreed, somewhat happy. "We'd have more fun if they weren't going to be there though!"

"I know…" Carter replied throwing his arm around her shoulders."…but we're going to have fun this weekend, regardless of who we're stuck with. If we have fun this weekend, we'll have to come back and camp again without them."

Before, Rory or Finn could reply, Logan pulled in behind Finn's SUV. The three turned to look as the three jackasses climbed out of the car.

"Let the battle begin." She muttered ominously, just loud enough for Finn and Carter to hear. They looked at each other, over Rory's head and exchanged knowing looks. This trip was going to be interesting.

Ha-ha! A bit of a cliffy! I'm proud of myself I wrote this chapter in two hours. I hope this is a good sign because lately it's been taking me forever to write, and now suddenly I'm on a huge writing kick! I had fun writing this chapter, everything was a bit random, nothing major happened again but it was kind of interesting. This chapter isn't all that long, but I thought it would be fun to leave you guys on a cliffy lol, and besides my butt was getting sore and I had to stop writing to make dinner anyway lol. I know that its October in the story but lets pretend that it's a really warm and hot October. Hey with globe warming it IS possible. I know there was a lot of whining in this chapter, it was meant to be this way. The groups didn't really interact either but, it's alright. I was going to add Lorelai and Christopher in, seeing the kids off, but then I realized it would be better for the fic if I didn't Anyways I'm going to shut up now before I give anything good away.

Warnings for the next chapter: The Aussie Crew, and the Chilton Trio, attempt to set up camp... will they kill each other?

Please review! Common! I came through with another chapter and so fast! I think I deserve a present! Lol just kidding but REVIEW!
