Ps: to the person that told me
to indent my work, 1)unlike my other stories i wrote that in word and i
did nto want to go thru and space it like this part is spaced so well its
your loss for not reading it but however i did fix it b/c i didnt realize
it came out so badly. &
"Where are my black sandals with the silvery things??" my mom yelled out from upstairs. "They are in your suitcase!!" I yelled back. "No they aren't!!" "Yes they are!! Next to the boa!" A happy cheer came from upstairs and she
bounded down the stairs, where I was sitting on the
"Mom!!" "Yea?" "Unpack the boa." "No." "Yes. There is no point to do it." "Yes, the look on your grandma's face is all I want. Then it will go into the rooms closet." "Promise?" "Promise." "We going now? I don't think they are going to hold the plane for us…" "Yeah I got everything…I think." "How many?" "Only 5." "Eh, that's an improvement from our last trip…you had what? 10?" "No! Only 8…" "For a weekend!" "I needed options…" "For the rest of the year?" "I think we better go now…"she said bounding up the stairs. I just grabbed the rest of my stuff and hurried out to the car. My mom came flying out of the house with her bags. Somehow she could still move with the 3 bags she had. "Other ones?" "In the trunk." "You are actually ready on time!?!?!?" "Yeah. The warm weather inspired me." "Luke? Jess?" "Meeting at airport, along with grandparents." "Lets go before we are late." "We're…2 minutes early!! Lets go and make coffee to celebrate." "Then we'd be late." "Coffee at airport." "Bad coffee…I want good coffee." "Car." "Coffee." "Airport." "Mean." "Obsessed. Lock door?" "Yeah, but Babette's going to double check it anyways and watch it." My mom started the car and we pulled out
of the driveway.
"Hair bag!!" she said, running into the house. We finally left 5 minutes later, after
she grabbed some coffee ice cream.
*Airport* We were waiting in the terminal, with my mom and Luke off getting coffee and my grandparents pacing, waiting for the boarding calls to start. I was sitting across from Jess in the uncomfortable airport lounge chairs. "Mad or happy about the trip" I asked, trying to fill the time. "Doesn't matter." "Come on…what would you have done if you stayed at Luke's this week." He just stared at me and I said "Oh yeah, pranks on everyone during the happy time…good choice." "Not like this trip will be filled with blasts." "It won't be all bad…I hope." "Yeah, parents and grandparents! Such a blast." "You know if you were a girl, we would
have roomed together and then you could sneak out and do
"Dirty things?" "Well yeah…imagine you as a girl…" "I don't want to do that." "Come on…we could try making you up as
a girl to get the room, then we have no more adults
"I think I'd prefer a one piece. Plus I think I'd look better in it." I looked up and we both laughed.
Then I saw a flash of a guy that looked familiar. I tried to see
if it
"Rory you okay? You look like you saw a ghost." I looked around him, and saw the guy again, but it wasn't him, yet I still was a bit spooked. "Now boarding flight 182, Business Class and minor children only…" It took me a minute to get out of my shock, before my mom came running over. "Come on Rory, we don't want to be late for the little packages of peanuts…!!" I grabbed my messenger bag, which I was using as my carry on bag and my jacket. "Warm weather here we come" my mom said as we boarded the plane. I ended up sitting next to Jess since my mom and Luke wanted to sit next to one another. I could hear my grandparent's nit picking about certain problems with the planes service, seats and everything in between. "You okay Rory? You got freaked back there…and I don't think it was from the image of me in a swimsuit, dressed like a girl because you know I would look SO good." "Yeah I'm fine" I lied. "I don't buy that but I'm supposed to be the grumpy one on this trip so I'll just have to act worse then you are." I glared at him, then turned to my book. It wasn't Tristan, but for some reason when I had first seen him I as hoping it was him. I should face it, I will probably never see Tristan again. I should spend this trip getting over him…their has to be SOME guy on this boat. If not, there's Jess… *~*~*~*~*~*The Boat~*~*~*~*~*~*~* We had just gotten on the boat, which was HUGE. My grandparents, of course, went to the VIP line, and we quickly we being talked to by a guide as our bags were sent up to our rooms. "The Free is a new cruise ship. It has a total of 10 floors, 7 which are open to guests. Floors 4, 5 and 9 are guest floors. Decks 6 to 10 have decks, with each but 9 having a pool. On the other floors, there is a bowling alley, dance studio, gym full with all equipment, ballroom, dance club for 18 and under crowd, full spa, beauty salon, numerous restaurants and on floor 6, it is a full strip of shopping boutiques. There are a few other features on deck, but all the information can be found in your rooms along with a map, and each of you has a VIP pass, allowing you access to areas that are off hours and in the restaurants. Tonight there is a welcome to the ship party in the ballroom and the dance club." I tuned the guy out after that, but my grandparents listened intently to everything he had to say. Finally he escorted us to the elevator, and sent us to the ninth floor with our room keys. "What ever happened to actual keys? No its all cards that look like credit cards. It's not right…" my grandma complained. We got off the elevator, and made our way down the hall to rooms 920, 922 and 924. "Wait, I forget which room this key belongs to" my mom said. "Lorelei…" "Look mom, its not my fault that I was
busy biting my tongue not to make fun of that tour dude, and I
"Mom we're in room 922, Luke and Jess in 924 and grandma and grandpa in 920" I said, eager to get into my room and look around. "Before we get into the rooms, we are having supper with the captain and numerous other people at 5 pm. Wear something…decent" my grandma added. My mom just shoved the key into the door and we stumbled inside. "THEY HAVE MINTS ON THE PILLOWS!!!" my mom immediately screamed when she saw them. "The have mini bottles of everything in the bathroom!" "AHH!!! Mini-liqour bottles…!!!" my mom said opening the mini-fridge." "Do they think we are midgets or something?" I joked. "Hey maybe we should walk around on our kneels with our shoes tied to them…maybe then they'll give us midget midget bottles…" I looked around the room which was amazing. It was painted in a deep red. The room we walked into was basically a sitting room with fancy looking couches and seats, and a cupboard. When we opened it, it was a TV, VCR and stereo stuff, all nailed to the cupboard, which was nailed to the floor. "Everything's nailed to the ground! DO they think we are going to steal everything or something?" my mom said. "Its so if the ship gets rocky, things don't fall over." "That's why I had you…so you can correct my stupidity." Then there was a pair of French doors, when opened there was 2 double beds. There were 2 doors, one a bathroom and the other a closet. "I love this!!" my mom said, jumping on her bed. "Mom, don't break anything." "Eh, I can hide if I do." All of a sudden we heard a knock coming
from the front room. My mom jumped up and opened the
"Not nicky-nicky nine doors all ready…I wanted to start it…" my mom pouted. But then we heaerd the knock again and we looked around. I finally noticed the door in the corner that I just thought was a linen closet. I opened the door, after taking off a few deadbolts, and there was Luke. "Mom!!" I said. "What?? Is it a secret passageway and there's a big scary, mutated being there?" "Well, its Luke." "Eh, 2 out of 3." Luke just glared at my mother. "Ouch! I think I'm about to turn to ice." "Well I think this door's going to be deadbolted from now on…" Luke said. "Hehe, we'll be sure to make LOTS of noise in the night, to keep you from having your beauty sleep." "Yep and we can talk ALL night long!" I said, smiling. Luke just shut the door, and we heard the dead bolt lock into place. "Prank call?" my mom asked. "Prank call." Both of us ran to the couches and my mom grabbed the phone, and quickly figured out how to dial room to room. "May I please speak to a Mr. Lucas Danes?" my mom asked Jess, using Luke's hated full name. "Hello Mr. Lucas Danes?" "Okay I'll just call you Lucas." I could almost hear Luke getting mad in the room next door. "I have a message for you from a Miss Patty." "She says that a Mister Taylor has started
to run your coffee shop due the coffee-crazy residents.
I put a pillow over my mouth, so he wouldn't hear my laughter. "No, I'm sorry Miss Patty is not available…she just told me to pass on that message…I believe the colours were purple and pink, if I'm not mistaken…" My mom was covering her mouth to keep herself from laughing. "I'm sorry Lucas, she told me she tried
but Mister Taylor is very insistent. Whatever he does I am
I could hear the faint sound of yelling both through the phone and through the walls. My mom finally cracked and started laughing her ass off into the phone. I could hear Luke scream "LORELAI!!!" before she hung up the phone. "That was fun" she said through her laughs. There was a very loud knock at the door which set us off again, since we could hear Luke yelling. "Shit we need to unpack!" I said, rolling off the couch. "Why?" "Cause it's 3, and we are having dinner at 5, which means we need to start getting ready at 4…" "We can make it. We've made it to Friday Night dinners with an hour to spare." I started to unpack my bags into the closet and the dresser while my mom opened the door to reveal Luke with a non-too-happy expression on his face. "Whats wrong Lucas?" I heard my mom ask sweetly. "That was not funny." "O-contraire. Rory and I found it
quiet hilarious. I'm sure Jess would agree if he knew what was
"Oh he knows…and as you thought he found it wquite hilarious" Luke spat out. "Now if you'll excuse me, us girls need to get unpacked and ready for the big captain's dinner later" she said, closing the door in his outraged face. I laughed just imagining the frustration Luke was going through right then. The phone rang, but my mom made no reach for the phone nextg to her on the couch so I grabbed the one between the beds. "Hello?" "Save me Rory." "Jess?" "Who else?" "Why do I need to save you?" "Luke's going physco over here…lets go exploring!" "I gotta unpack and then get ready for the dinner…" He cut me off "You have a whole week to unpack. Plus I've seen you get ready for things in less than an hour." "Fine. I'll meet you in the hall" I said, hanging up the phone. "Mom, I'm 90% unpacked. I'm going exploring with Jess okay?" "Don't do anything I wouldn't do…actually don't do anything I would do." "Mom, we're just friends. I promised you that we would remain just friends okay?" "Fine, fine." "Besides we both know you will eventually work out the will we/won't we thing with Luke and get married, and Jess and I would just be gross" I said, grabbing a room key and closing the door before she could respond. "Didn't bother to change out of comfy airplane wear huh?" "Nope. I like the lazy look.
You look like you just rolled out of bed and through whatever was at the
"Actually I showered before I did that" he said, matter of factly. "Lets go. We have like a little over half an hour before we have to get back here and ready for dinner." "I don't know why Luke and I have to go. It's going to be rich, snobby people who I would rather never meet in my lifetime…" "Well it's a favour to the people who paid for this trip." "Plus the food will probably be horrible and too small portions. Let's find somewhere to buy candy so I can fill myself up before this dinner." "Where you will be on your best behaviour right?" I said, walking beside him down the hallway. The place was quiet surprisingly since everyone had to be on the ship by 7pm. "Which was the shopping floor?" Jess asked, avoiding my other question. "Promise you will be on your best behaviour and its on 6 but that's probably just clothes and stuff" I said as we reached the elevators and hit the down button. "I promise I will try and be on my best behaviour however if anyone pushes me, normal Jess comes out and shopping includes food so lets just go to 6" he said as we climbed on the elevator. "I guess that's all I can get out of you right?" "Right." We were silent till we reached the 6th floor. We stepped out and saw a ton of people just milling up and down the hall. "I know they have to have some food on this floor. Even rich people need food." "Yeah but it's probably overly-priced and too small, just like you said dinner would be." "Yeah but I'm not paying for dinner. Besides
I'm going to need some food to tide me over tonight
"Why are we leaving the dinner?" "After dessert the parents are all going to the stupid get-together dance thing and they are letting us do whatever. We might even be able to escape before dessert and then we can have our own fun." "How come our own fun seems to scare me?" "Cause it should" he said, ducking into a sort of convenience store. I followed him in. It looked like most other convenience stores shockingly. They had magazines, food and drinks, and general stuff people could have forgotten to pack. I saw Jess near the chips and caught up to him. "So how much food are you planning to eat before?" I said eyeing the basket which was already overflowing. "Just enough." "You are so giving me half of that." "Says who?" "You dragged me out mid-pack to satisfy your snacking needs when there are mini-foods in the fridge but you're probably gonna call those rich food right?" "Actually rip-off food is more appropriate" he said, walking back to the front of the store. "How come I always end up running after you in here?" I asked as he was paying. "You aren't quick enough Gilmore. All that coffee slows you down." "What and those cigarette's which are usually permantly attached to your lips don't slow you down?" "Nope." "Let's go out to the deck and eat, while making fun of people that are coming onto the ship!" I said dragging him after me, with his like 3 bags of food. "Don't rush me…you know those cigarette's make it hard for me to rush all the time." "So you can rush when you want to get away from me but not when I want to go do something?" "Right." We reached the deck and walked to the edge, where a bar table was on the railing with stools nailed to the ground as usual. We took our seats and took out our food. "Okay look at that family…now they need to know that plaid and stripes don't go together…even if everyone dresses the same in the family." "Those people look afraid to carry their suitcases!! They have like butlers with them! Can you say conceited?" I scanned the crowd and then saw the people he was talking about and dropped the bag of chips I had in my hands. NO! It couldn't be! "Rory?" Jess asked, but I could barely hear him. I was too busy straining my eyes to see if it was true. I rubbed them and looked back. All I could see was the back but he finally turned around, glancing around the ship with a bored expression. It was him. Tristan was on the trip. Tristan was going to be on this cruise for a week. His family had to be one of the people from Hartford going. "Rory…earth to Rory? Why do you have the look you had at the airport?" "He's here…" "He being?" "Tristan." "That guy you and Amy always talked about?" I nodded, still staring till him and I guess his family disappeared. I snapped out of it and shook my head. "So whats the big deal? Isn't that a good thing." I glared at him and sighed. "You have no idea how fucked up our friendship-well you can't even call it a friendship, more like sort of a half acquantence…well…" "Just get to the point Rory." "Well I don't know that's the problem! Just before you got to town I was at a party with Amy. Anyways I ended up getting passed-out drunk and he helped me. But then he turned cold. I saw him just before he left for military school and I don't know it changed something. I just don't really want to see him and face all the weird things that happened between us." "Why what happened?" "You know how I told you that Dean and I had broken up after 3 months and the whole I love you thing?" "Yeah." "I kissed Tristan the next night, then
we were friends then I set him up with Paris and that fucked
"So he's just some guy that sorta pops in and out of your life and just confuses whatevers going on right?" "Pretty much." "You might barely see him this trip so don't worry. And if anything horrible happens I'll beat him up." "SO brotherly of you Jess. Didn't know you had it in you." "Yeah well its buried. Plus maybe in about a year or two when Luke and your mom sort everything out you'd be my cousin." "Oh dear god…actually being related to you? Now that's scary!" "Oh don't pretend you don't want to be." I just laughed. "Shit what time is it?" I asked him. "Do you really think I wear a watch?" "Don't you have your cell on you?" "Don't you have yours?" "If I had mine, I'd know what time it is now wouldn't I?" He reached into his baggy pant's and pulled out his Nokia phone, glancing at the display. "It would be…just before 4." "We should head back soon." "Oh yey! And then we can get all dolled
up and put on the fake smiles and pretend that we love life"
"See when you try, even you can be nice." "Don't tell anyone or I will have
to reveal one or two things *cough* like stealing your mom's
"Hey you promised you wouldn't tell anyone!" "Yeah well I lied. So shut me." "I would if I had a gun and knew how to use it." "Its not that hard. You undo the
safety and hit the trigger and a bullet comes out the end that is
"Wow thanks for that lesson in gun control. I'll be sure to put it to good use." "Come on future-cousin Gilmore…let's go and eat the…" "Too small, over priced, gag me food" I finished for him. "Dam I gotta find some other people to tell that line to." "Good luck with that one. You're stuck
with me."
