AN: I love my reviewers. You guys are great. And Tristan's pick up lines haven't been used on me. THANKFULLY. School is starting soon and I want to get more chapters in. This chapter was a bit hard to write because well I needed a transition chapter so I can get into my other ideas. Oh and did you know that Anderson Cooper is Gloria Vanderbilt's son? He was part of the Hartford Society and he went to Yale. During Yale he was in the Manuscript Society, which is a secret society in Yale. Plus he's a television JOURNALIST. It's like WHOAH. It seems so close to the GG plot. I know you guys want more videos but it'd be too much if I make this chapter a video chapter. So I'm just making this chapter have one set of videos. One Hartford, one Stars Hollow video. Oh and ahhh my stupid computer wont let me use a ruler thing...those really huge lines that stretch out across the page.
I want to thank all of my reviewers. I feel tired from typing so much and I want to get off the computer and ride my gocart.

"You've been a bad girl. Go to my room!" Colin mimicked laughing along with the girls.
"You must be Jamaican, cause you Jamaican me crazy." Logan copied.
"Tristan, I'll be the Dairy Queen to your Burger King." Finn laughed along.
Tristan shook his head and faced Rory.
"You're such a great friend Rory. The best." Tristan said sarcastically.
Rory smiled at Tristan, "I know, aren't I?"
------------------------------------RL------------------------------------
"I so didn't need to see that." Christopher announced referring to Tristan's 'actions' and 'outfits' in his video.
"Christopher you've seen that before, remember you changed his diapers and everything." Lorelai told him.
"But not when he was thirteen!" Christopher protested covering his eyes and shaking his head.
------------------------------------RL------------------------------------
"I told you Tristan would look great naked." Louise commented after settling down from her laughter.
"How right you are." Madeline agreed looking at Tristan who glared at Rory after hearing their comments.
Tristan reached down to his popcorn and threw some at Rory. "AH!" Rory screamed.
Tristan threw more after hearing Rory and ignored Lorelai calling out, "Tristan! No throwing popcorn! Never mind."
After a few more throws Tristan reached down again and felt nothing. "Damn."
"Ha ha!" Rory pointed at him with a look of triumph.
Tristan stuck his tongue out at Rory making Logan laugh at the two's childish actions. "Lorelai, aren't I tortured enough?" Tristan whined.
"Well since you are nice most of time…" Lorelai said pushing the new tape in.
"Most of the time?" Tristan asked with a frown.
"Most of the time." Rory confirmed.
Christopher was currently reading a book while lying down on the bed.
"Hello Christopher…" Lorelai purred wearing a little maid's outfit.
Christopher heard his name being called out and began to put down his book. "Yes Lore-" He stopped after looking at what she had on.
"Wrong video!" Lorelai shouted as Christopher pressed the 'stop' button.
"No love! It was the perfect video!" Finn protested with a smirk.
"I can't look at them. I can't look at them." Rory repeated covering her eyes, while the rest of the group had mixed reactions.
"Why the hell was it in the videos pile in the first place?" Christopher asked putting in a new video, hoping it was more innocent.
"I wanted to give you a little surprise at the end of the night…" Lorelai trailed off quiet enough so the group of teenagers couldn't hear.
"Will you stop it? She's not stalking me!" Tristan yelled.
"Oh yes she is." Paris said.
"No. She's not." Tristan argued.
"She asked to switch classes. To all of your classes." Louise pointed out.
"It was three classes. She didn't like the teachers." Tristan countered.
"Her locker is covered with pictures of you." Madeline told Tristan.
"You guys have pictures of me in your lockers." Tristan argued back.
"They're pictures of all of us meaning you're included by default." Madeline said.
"Tristan admit it, she's stalking you. I mean she freaking followed you into the guys bathroom and left when you left." Rory told Tristan.
"She thought it was the girls bathroom… with different toilets." Tristan explained. Rory gave him a look then he sighed, "okay… maybe she IS stalking me a little bit."
"She asked us to pluck out some of your hair and give it to her." Paris told him.
"Tristan has a stalker. What's her name?" Lorelai finally added after listening to the group argue with each other.
"Geez…" Tristan sighed.
"Cindy Freeman." All the girls said at the same time.
"Why don't we start whatever we were going to do, instead of talking about Cindy?" Tristan suggested to Lorelai.
"Ooh he's protecting her already. He's in loooooove." Rory taunted.
"Oh my gosh, why couldn't there be another boy in this group?" Tristan asked to himself.
"Why? Do you want him to be stalking you?" Paris teased.
"UGH!" Tristan growled.
"Okay… why don't we start? Tristan, you can go first. You four go be horses and frolic in the hay." Lorelai instructed.
"What the hell?" Paris muttered as they began to walk away.
"Frolic in the hay?" Tristan asked wearily.
"Well it got them to back off of the stalker subject so you should be thanking me. Not questioning me." Lorelai said.
"Right… Can we start now? Because the game's coming on soon and I have a ton of homework."
"Sure. What's your name?"
"Tristan Michael Packard Dugrey." He answered with a smirk. "Are girls going to see this when I get older?"
"Maybe."
Tristan nodded and grinned, "Hello ladies."
"Leading us to the next question: who do you like?"
Tristan smirked, " Cindy Freeman."Then he looked up at Lorelai, "but don't tell anyone. Especially them." He said pointing to the group of girls sitting in a circle.
"Oh thanks a lot Tristan." Paris commented.
"You don't trust us about a girl." Madeline said.
"We're girls and you wont tell us!" Louise told him.
"You didn't want to admit we were right." Rory smirked at him.
"Of course, I don't want to cause any more troubles in love paradise. What's your favorite subject?"
"Gym."
"Why?"
"I get to work out and all the girls check me out." He answered with a smirk playing on his lips.
"Are you dating anyone? I mean you like Cindy but that doesn't mean you're dating her."
"I think I am… I've been going out with this girl named Rachel but we haven't said anything. She's gorgeous; looks just like a model."
"Do you like her better than Cindy?"
"Hell yea." Tristan said grinning.
"Then why didn't you say you liked Rachel instead of Cindy?" Lorelai asked confused.
"I was going alphabetically and Cindy is first because her name starts with a 'C'."
"Right… go call one of the girls." Lorelai instructed Tristan.
"Sure." He said getting off of the chair he sat on. "Hey!" He yelled as he ran up to the girls and said, "one of you go."
Rory came up and sat on the chair, "hey Mom."
"Hey Hun. What's your name?" Lorelai asked.
"You think parents would know these things." She replied jokingly. "Lorelai Leigh Gilmore AKA Rory."
"How old?"
"Thirteen. We're all thirteen but Tristan's older by ten days and won't let me forget it.
"Any boys in your life?"
"No one." Rory answered sincerely.
"Yea right. Hayden had a LINE of boys asking her to dances and parties." Paris said causing Logan's heart to drop down.
"Do you like any boys?" Lorelai probed.
Rory looked down on her shoe and began to kick the dirt, "maybe."
"What's his name?"
"I don't know. He's just really cute. I saw him at the mall the other day but he doesn't go to our school."
"Really? What did he look like?"
"He had blonde hair and brown eyes and he was wearing an Andover Prep uniform. Oh, and he was with a girl and two other boys." Rory answered.
"But you don't seem upset with him having a girl with him?"
"The girl was next to the other boy, the shorter one." Rory answered.
"It was Logan!" Stephanie squeaked.
"You see Ace, we're meant to be." Logan told Rory putting an arm around her.
"We'll talk more about this later without the camera on-""Oh come on!" Paris yelled wanting to know more about the blonde boy AKA Logan.
"- you're favorite subject in school?"
"Creative Writing and English." Rory answered assuredly.
"Go call one of them for me. And we'll talk about new blonde boy later!" Lorelai yelled.
"Kay."
Suddenly Paris appeared in front of the camera. "We named him Frankster."
"Who?" Lorelai asked confused.
"The boy Rory was talking about. We saw him too. I mean he practically called for everyone's attentions. Him and his friends."
"But why Frankster?"
"He and his friends were fooling around a lot and when we were going into the car we saw him talk to this driver named Frank." Paris explained.
"It is Logan!" Finn shouted.
"Okay well enough about him. I only have a few more minutes left on this tape, which means Louise and Maddie have to go together. What's your name?" Lorelai asked.
"Paris Geller." Paris answered simply then added, "and I'm thirteen."
"Any boys?"
"My first boyfriend," Paris answered with a genuine smile, "his name is Jamie."
"Well he sounds nice."
"He is." Paris said happily. "He took me to the carnival and won me this panda doll. Then we watched movies and went out to dinner one night."
"Young love. So, what's your favorite class?"
"Creative Writing. I have it with Rory AND Jamie."
"That must be fun. Hobbies?"
"Writing and well… writing. Speaking of which, I should start on my homework"
"Go call both Louise and Maddie for me." Lorelai said.
Louise and Madeline sat down side by side with smiles on their faces. "I've never heard Rory talk so much about one boy. Well except for Tristan because Tristan is always here." Madeline told Lorelai.
"He is cute though. Like a Tristan with brown eyes." Louise added.
"Frankster?" Lorelai guessed.
"Yup." The two girls answered.
"So tell me your names."
"Louise Grant."
"Madeline Lynn."
"Any boys in your life?"
The two giggled and looked up at Lorelai. Louise said, "If we told you all the boys we liked we'd be sitting here for the rest of the day."
"More like the rest of the week." Madeline added.
"Give me some of the hottest."
"Okay," Louise said, "Brandon F."
"Shane C."
"Mike P."
"Matt C." The two girls answered at the same time. "Chad M."
"Those are our five hottest." Madeline explained.
"With Matt C. and Chad M. tied in first place."
"Well that's nice. What are your favorite subjects in school?"
"Boys." The two answered grinning.
"Real subjects."
"Gym." They chorused.
"You see the guys work out." Madeline smirked.
"They have great bodies and abs." Louise commented.
"Well that's something every parent would like to hear." Lorelai said as the video turned off.
"Damn. I'm hot." Logan announced confidently with a smirk. "And you couldn't stop talking about me Ace. Now how about that?"
Rory couldn't believe that 'Frankster' was Logan and she openly admitted that he was cute. "Mom, can we start the new video now?"
"Come on Bunny. You know you can't keep your eyes off of us hot blondes." Tristan said.
"Who said you were a hot blonde?" Rory replied.
"I'm getting tired. Just put in the next video Chris." Lorelai rubbed her eyes and looked up at the screen just like everyone else.
Colin was sitting down on the bed, next to Finn and Stephanie, with a frown on his face, "Why can't I hold it?"
"Because it's mine." A voice that belonged to Logan, answered sternly.
"Exactly. Since you own it you've had possession of it for a really long time already meaning it should be my turn to hold it." Colin answered smugly.
"To tell you the truth Colin; you're not good with cameras." Logan answered shortly.
"Thanks Logan. That was nice." Colin said to Logan sticking out his tongue.
"What?" Colin asked at the camera with wide eyes. "That's an opinion."
"You broke Helena's camera on my 6th birthday." Logan supplied.
"That was once. I was five." Colin reasoned.
Stephanie spoke up after playing with the jewels stuck on her shirt, "You broke my princess camera when we were 7."
"It was sticky and needed to be washed with soap. I was taught to wash sticky things with water and soap." Colin stated, uneasy with his answer.
"You stepped on my cousin's camera." Finn provided.
"She deserved it. She called me 'Rock A Fella'." Colin explained.
"Mate, that was her accent." Finn responded then Colin quieted down. "Hey Logan can I go first?"
"Sure. Steph, Colin, you have to stand behind me so it's only Finn. And stay quiet." Logan instructed, while Colin and Steph stood up.
"My name is Finn."
"Age?" Logan asked.
"13."
"Who do you like? Geez this is a stupid question…" Logan mumbled the last part making Colin snicker.
"Redheads." Finn announced confidently.
"Any in particular?" Colin asked.
"I forgot her name…" Finn trailed off.
"Well that's nice." Stephanie commented dryly.
Finn furrowed his eyebrows, "It starts with an 'R.'"
"At least that narrows it down." Colin scoffed.
"Hobbies?" Logan continued on with the questions.
Finn gave the camera a confused look as if to say 'what the hell are hobbies and do I have one?' "Looking at girls?" He asked.
Evident from Logan's voice, he was clearly shaking his head. "You know what Colin, you're up."
"I'm Colin and I'm 13."
Suddenly there was a knock on the door and it opened to Sylvia, the Vanderbilt's new maid. "Miss. Vanderbilt, there is a phone call for you."
"Oh okay. I'll be right back you guys." Stephanie left the room then the camera turned back to Colin.
"Any particular girls-" Logan started.
Finn continued, "that your heart aches for. That you wish you could hold in your arms every day for the rest of your life. That you are currently smitten with and include in every thought you have?"
Colin snorted at Finn's short speech, "you already know so why does the camera need to know?"
"COME ON!" Louise, Madeline and Paris shouted.
"TELL US ALREADY!" Rory and Tristan yelled.
Finn reasoned with the brunette and explained. "Mate, maybe when you're older you'll be finally married to Steph. Then you'll look back and see this tape remembering that you have been infatuated by the lovely Sheila that Stephanie is, ever since I have been pining for my redheads."
"Exactly." Logan agreed.
"Well there's no need to say it now is there? I mean Finn practically said it." After seeing Logan and Finn's hard stares Colin gave in, "I like Stephanie. Okay? Plain and simple."
"Now tell us that wasn't so hard." Logan said.
"What wasn't so hard?" Stephanie asked as she came through the door.
"Nothing." Colin answered quickly.
Stephanie turned her attention to Logan and Finn, "did you ask the girls question already?"
"Yes love." Finn responded.
"Oh." She paused, "I wanted to know. Colin, tell me please? I won't tell anyone else. I'll be her friend." She begged.
"But Logan just asked me my last question. My favorite class is history." Colin covered standing up and going behind Logan.
"EEK! My turn!" Stephanie squealed.
"Name?" Logan asked the smiling blonde.
"Stephanie. Age is 13."
"Hobbies?"
"Shopping!" Stephanie shrieked clapping her hands.
"Any boys?"
Stephanie sighed, "You think I would say it to the camera? Plus I don't tell any guys whom I like. Colin won't tell who he likes so I can choose not to tell mine."
"Come on Steph…" Logan pleaded.
"Love…" Finn whined wanting to know whom Stephanie liked.
"Nope." Stephanie answered waiting for her next and last question.
"Favorite class?"
"Gym. I mean all the hot guys are working out even though I have to run. But hey, some of those guys have nice bodies." Stephanie smirked.
"Ugh. You should have done this with another girl." Logan complained.
"Yea whatever. You're up Logan." Stephanie stated standing up.
"I'm holding it!" Colin shouted.
"No I am!" Finn yelled.
The two kept on fighting over the camera when Stephanie said, "I'm holding it." She grabbed the camera from Logan's hands and started with the questioning. "Name please?"
"Logan Huntzberger."
"Age?"
"13."
"Any girls? This is as stupid as asking Finn this question…" she mumbled.
"Well you know. I've got my ladies." Logan replied with a smirk.
"Yea Logan!" Finn and Colin hollered, making Logan's smirk grow wider.
"Any particular one that has caught your eye?" Stephanie asked in a sophisticated manner.
"There was this girl from the mall but she doesn't go to Andover. Hell, she was hot." Logan answered.
"UHUH. Hobbies?"
"Annoy my father."
"Obviously." Stephanie responded. "Favorite class?"
"English and Gym, I guess." Logan answered truthfully.
"Okay. I think that's it. How do you stop this thing again?" Stephanie asked.
"Red button…" Colin provided. "The red button."
"Oh got it. It's pretty shi-" Stephanie was cut off by the video turning blank.
Stephanie had fallen asleep just before her turn went up and she was leaning on Colin's shoulder. She was obviously tired from watching all the videos in a dimly lit room and the small amount of light helped set the mood for a sleeping area. Colin had his arms around her and after the video he asked, "Hey Rory, where are we going to sleep? I should get her to bed." He stated pointing to Stephanie.
"Yea, uh…" Rory didn't know what her mom did for the sleeping accommodations so she turned to her mom.
"Oh, there are two guest rooms and Rory's room. Louise and Maddie are with Rory, Colin, Steph and Paris are in the first guest room to your left and Logan, Finn and Tristan are in the guest room across from Rory's room." Lorelai explained.
The group of teenagers- all tired out- dispersed and went to their assigned rooms. As soon as they changed they quickly fell asleep, tired from the long day they just had, embarrassed from what have been said when they were little, thinking if it was really fate that brought two certain people to meet.
------------------------------------RL------------------------------------
Morning quickly came where everyone was sitting around the kitchen grabbing doughnuts, pop tarts, and cups of coffees here and there. Everyone had to admit, there was something going on between Colin and Stephanie. First of all, they came into the kitchen with Stephanie's arm looped around Colin's and apparently they kicked out Paris earlier so they could talk. But they haven't said anything about their actions, they merely said their 'hellos' and sat down next to each other –incredibly close- and began to eat their breakfast. It was quiet, everyone wanted to ask what was going on between Colin and Stephanie but no one wanted to say anything. Whenever the topic had come up they always seemed to have snapped at the questioner.
Finn being the bravest and impatient one of the group blurted out, "so what's up with you and Colin love?"
Stephanie looked up from her pop tart and smiled. It was a warm smile that everyone could tell she had good news. "Colin is my boyfriend." She stated simply with a small smile but everything inside of her wanted to scream it out loud.
All the girls flocked around Stephanie and began to congratulate her. Hugging her even though most of them just met each other no more than 12 hours ago.
"You guys are so cute together!" cooed Louise.
"Finally! I'm so happy for you!" Rory congratulated.
"Adorable. You should have seen the way he looked at you last night when you were sleeping." Paris said with a genuine smile. After the videos she'd seen, the couple cared for each other even when they were Cinderella and Prince Charming.
"Oh! You look so happy!" Madeline cheered.
On the other side where the boys were Logan and Finn were smirking at Colin. "Finally mate! All those years! And all it took was a movie night and you professing your undying love for her at an early age." Finn patted Colin's back.
"Now you can finally stop whining about how Stephanie always went out with stupid boys." Logan added.
"Plus hey, you can look back on those videos when you're married and older and say 'hey look at that. I remember when we were that small and I was pining for you.'" Tristan said.
------------------------------------RL------------------------------------
Within minutes the group were walking through the town gazebo getting a tour from Rory. Two ladies bounded up to the group the redhead spoke first. "Oh who are the new kids?"
"Rory darling, introduce us now." Babette urged.
"Babette, Miss Patty. This is Logan, Colin, Finn and Stephanie." Rory introduced pointing to each named person.
"The Colin boy looks like my third ex husband." Miss Patty said making Colin feel a little uneasy.
"Hello loves." Finn took both of their hands and kissed it, smiling.
The group was quiet; Miss Patty and Babette were eyeing all of the teenagers while they just stood there awkwardly. The silence was broken by a phone ringing, Rory's phone. "Hello…Oh hi Robert…I'm at my hometown… Logan, Colin, Finn and Stephanie are here… ... That sounds nice...Italian?...Sure… 7:00… I'll see you tonight… Bye."
Logan immediately balled his hands into a fist after hearing Robert's name come out from Rory's mouth. He was jealous and he admitted it to himself. Robert was getting to him. "So Robert…" He managed to croak out.
"Yea, there's this new restaurant around Yale and he asked if I wanted to come." Rory explained to the group.
Babette smiled at her, "he seems nice, honey. Oh! Tristan did you get the basket of brownies we sent you?"
"It had a picture of my 3rd ex husband. Looks just like your new friend here." Miss Patty added pointing to Colin.
"Uh no. Sorry Babette, Miss Patty, but I didn't get any brownies or pictures." Tristan answered politely.
"I sent them to Rory, Madeline, and Louise and they received them. I sent yours to your dorm room over in Brown." Babette explained.
"I don't go to Brown, I go to Princeton…" Tristan trailed off not knowing what else to say.
Miss Patty nodded her head understanding, "Oh, you go to Princeton. I thought it was Brown. They sound alike though."
"Princeton. Brown. Yea." Babette agreed while Miss Patty shouted to Andrew.
"Hey Andrew!"
"Yea!" Andrew shouted back.
The two women began walking to Andrew. Miss Patty miraculously pinched Finn's, Logan's and Colin's butts while Babette shouted at Andrew, "Tristan goes to Princeton! I sent brownies to his dorm at Brown but he didn't get it."
"And a picture of my 3rd ex husband!" Miss Patty added.
"I thought it was Brown!" Andrew replied then turned around to see Gypsy walking down the street. "Hey Gypsy! Tristan goes to Princeton!"
"No he goes to Brown." Gypsy responded shaking her head.
"Nope, it's Princeton now. Patty and Babette sent him brownies and a picture of her 3rd ex husband."
Gypsy nodded her head and saw Taylor, "Oh hey Taylor! Tristan goes to Princeton now..."
The group watched at how the town openly talked about Tristan. They watched as Andrew talked to Gypsy who talked to Taylor then they heard someone clear their throat. Kirk stood smiling at Tristan. "Hey Tristan, I heard you got kicked out of Brown for burning down a dorm room by trying to bake brownies with Miss Patty's ex husband. And now you're at Princeton."
------------------------------------RL------------------------------------
AN: There's something about this chapter that really annoys me. I know it feels rushed a bit but I told you it was transition-ish. I needed to bring Robert in again so I can work on the drama. And I needed to get Colin and Stephanie together already because I don't like writing them being shy with each other and all that. It makes me feel like I have Stephanie and Colin as my big pairing. I just hope you guys liked it somewhat. Oh and if you think I'm in DIRE (as in you get confused by my sentences and all that) need of a beta, tell me because I didnt get the 8th grade English award. I got the Math one, but hey I'm not complaining. Oh and did you see that Matt Czuchry and Chad Michael Murrray thing? haha REVIEW PLEASE! I love it when you guy review. It makes me feel so happy:) REVIEW!
