GETTING IN

Senior Year-Chilton-Early Fall

The Chilton gang, having become great friends, was determined to go to Harvard together. Rory, Tristan, Paris, Henry, Madeline, and Louise all applied to Harvard Early Admissions. Rory and Paris had both always wanted to go to Harvard and were very excited that their friends wanted to go as well. The rest of the group had many different reasons for wanting to go. Tristan had always known he was expected to go to Harvard, and now because of Rory he actually wanted to go. Henry wanted to be the first person in his family to go to and Ivy league school. Loise and Madeline wanted to go to Harvard to prove to everyone they were more than just pretty, rich, airheads.

Fade In

-Chilton Library: The gang sitting around a table.

Paris: Did anyone hear from Harvard yet??

Louise, Madeline, and Henry:(in unison) Nope

---everyone starts giving Tristan and Rory weirld looks-Madeline breaks the ice.

Madeline: Did you two hear something, you know you have to tell us.

Tristan: I haven't heard officially yet.

Rory: Me neither.

Louise: What do you mean you haven't heard "officially" yet. We promised we wouldn't have our families pull strings.

Rory: I just want you all to know that I had nothing to do with any of this.

Henry: Ok Tristan out with it, and you better tell the truth.

Tristan: Ok like Ror said I had nothing to do with this, for that matter I didn't know about this till this morning.

Rory: Tris you better just tell them, they look like they're gonna kill us.

Tristan: Fine, Fine, Fine.

Rory's Grandfather and my Grandfather were at the country club together on Saturday for their weekly golf game. They were on about the 12th hole when they ran into Dr. Whitmore, the director of admissions and they being the nosy old men that they are asked him when early acceptance letter were being mailed out, by the way they were mailed friday. So Dr. Whitmore said I know you two want this information because Rory and Tristan both applied early admissions, I can't tell you a whole lot but I will tell you that they will be pleased and they are two very talented children. So see I didn't do anything

Rory: Yeah neither did I

Paris: Well I guess you two already know you're in so now the rest of us just have to wait till this afternoon.

Henry: Trist, only you would be able to have something like that happen to you.

Louise: Yeah him and Rory the perfect couple (pretending to gag)

Madeline: Hey why don't we all go home after school, get our letters then meet back at someone's house.

Tristan: Yeah that sounds like a good idea, What do you think Angel?

Rory: Yeah sure, we call all meet at my house.

Henry: Works for me, I'm having dinner at Lane's tonight so I have to drive into Stars Hollow any way.

Paris: How about if we all meet at Rory's at 4?

Louise: Works for me, but someone has to give me a ride, my cars being painted.

Mad: Well why don't me, you, and Paris all go in one car.

Paris: Whatever.

Rory: Tris we gonna go to your house to get your letter then go to my house.

Tristan: Works for me Angel, then we'll get to spend some time alone. Oh waite don't we have to meet Lorelai for coffee at 4:15?

Rory: On yeah we do. guys you mind if we don't meet till 5?

P, H, L, and M: Whatever

Madeline: I guess I'm last. Blah, Blah, Blah....welcome to Harvard University. That's all of us.

Rory: All 7 of us, chaching. Well I guess since we are already accepted we can stop stressing over school non stop.

Tristan: Oh yeah, party time.

Paris: You guys speak for yourselves, I have a certain brown haired girl I have to beat out of the running for valedictorian.

Lane: You never stop do you Paris.

Rory: Nope but ya know what she's wasting her time working so hard, cause she can have it.

Madeline: Did Rory Gilmore just say she didn't care if she was valedictorian or not.

Tristan: Yeah that's what she said but don't tell anyone, we wouldn't want Grandma Emily finding out and having a hear attack.

Henry: Lane you ready to go tell your parents the good news.

---little by little everyone starts to leave, leaving Tristan and Rory alone in the house.

Rory: I'm gonna go get changed, so we can go to your house you can get changed, and then go to my Grandparents....FUN.

Tristan: Ok, I'm gonna sit right here and watch tv.

---Rory leaves the room, in walks Lorelai

Lorelai: Hey how'd I miss the gang?

Tristan: They just left a matter of seconds ago, Rory's in getting read for dinner, then we're gonna run to my house so I can get changed.

Lorelai: So is tonight a night for celebration?

Tristan: Oh yeah, all 7 of us got in.

Lorelai: 7, oh yeah I forgot about Lane. Rory, you almost dressed?

Rory: Yeah I'll be right out.

Lorelai: Ok Harvard student.

Rory: Yeah that'd be me, me and my 6 bestfriends.

Tristan: Oh, so I'm only your bestfriend now?

Rory: Oh don't be a dork you know what i mean.

---Rory walks out in a burgundy dress.

Rory: so do you think the color fits the evening.

Lorelai: Yes it does but now I don't know what I'm going to wear.

Tristan: You two are crazy, Angel you ready.

Rory: Yep let's go....Mom we'll meet you there in like 45 minutes.

Lorelai: Ok hunnie.

-Cut to the Grandparents house.

---Rory and Tristan sit side by side on the couch, Tristan's parents and grandparents enter the room.

TMom: Well there are my favorite two soon to be Harvard students.

Emily: Yes these are definately two amazing kids, and quite a pairing, a DuGrey and a Gilmore. The begining of a new dynasty.

Richard: Now Emily don't start your beginning of a new dynasty speech again.

TDad: Richard, you know Emily is right, if Rory and Tristan were to end up getting married after college, it could mean big things for both our families.

Tristan's Grandmother: Do you people not realize that they are sitting right here, if you want to talk about these things atleast don't talk about them infront of them, it's not proper.

Tristan's Grandfather: Dear, I don't realy see the problem with it, it's not like we are arranging a marrige here, they picked eachother we didn't pick them for eachother.

---Lorelai enterswhy did I just hear someone say something about arranging a marriage.

Lorelai: why did I just hear someone say something about arranging a marriage.

Emily: Lorelai, don't be silly we were just talking about what would be an amazing pairing if Rory and Tristan were every to get married.

Lorelai: Yes well I don't think that is happening anytime soon. Why don't we let them graduate high school before we start arranging their marriage.

-Cut to Tristan's car

Rory: well that was interesting, I'd say we don't have to worry about anyone not approving of us being together.

Tristan: Please Angel, not approving, they're practically giving us their blessing to get married the day after we graduate college.

Rory: I know, it's scary isnt' it. We started out hating eachother, they we fell in love, our families disapporved, and now they are giving us their blessing.

Tristan: I'll never be surprised at anything if it involves you, you are the most amazing person I have ever met.

---leaning over and kissing her

Rory: Tristan, I'd be lost with out you, don't ever leave me.

Tristan: I couldn't leave you even if I wanted to, my parents would send me to the gulliotene, not to mention what your grandparents and Lorelai would do to me.

Rory: So you're telling me I'm stuck with you forever?

Tristan: Yeah, is that such a bad prospect?

Rory: No it's a very nice prospect.

---they start kissing again, and continue kissing for about thirty-five minutes, until Tristans cell phone rings.

Tristan: Hello Oh hi mom Umm..actually I think me and Rory are going to go back to her house and watch a movie, ok. Yeah I know, we have to be at the Country Club at 10 tomorrow morning Yes mother, Rory's joining us tomorrow. Ok, I'll see you in the morning

---Tristan hangs up the phone and grabs Rory's had, get over here gorgeous.
