Disclaimer: I own nothing except the characters of Lauren, Colin, Chris, and Liv. Everything else is owned by….not me.
I don't know what is going to happen to any bands I might mention, they were the first bands I thought of or I thought would fit the story. I don't own them either. I also don't own any movies mentioned, well the rights to 'em anyway, I own my video of Ten Things.
The Mariano's arrived home with smiles on their faces about 11:30. Jess and Tristan got along fine, much to Rory's pleasure, Chris was just happy to be spending time with Lauren, and Liv was, well let's just say she was intrigued by the new Dugrey man in her life. After walking down to the theater, Chris and Lauren got one couch while Liz and Colin sat on another watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail, then to prove to Colin it was a movie quote, Ten Things I hate about you. By the time Tristan, Jess and Rory had decided to come find the kids, the girls were using the boys as pillows. Jess stiffened at the sight of his little hoodlum being in the arms of Colin, but knew that she could take care of herself. They had found out during their talk with Tristan that Colin was 18, and a freshman at Yale, which happened to be Jess's alma mater. He was staying with Tristan and Lauren for the weekend because his family was in Virginia.
They walked in the house, and the twins went down to their rooms. Rory pressed the button for the answering machine.
"Hey we're the Mariano's. Leave a message." Beep!
"Hi Rory, Jess. It's Lane. I just wanted to call to catch up. Dave and Maggie are fine. We'll be in New York soon so if you wanted to come to the show let me know ok? Talk to you guys later." Rory smiled as Jess went to make coffee, Lane and Dave had gotten married and they now had a 5 year old daughter. Their band toured underground clubs.
"Hey my wonderful family! I wanted a movie night, but since you guys aren't home I'll have to settle for watching something and cuddling with my blankets and pillows," she paused for a dramatic sigh, "Call me, Rory. Ok? TTFN ta ta for now!"
Rory laughed and went up the stairs to the kitchen where she kissed her husband.
"Huh."
"What?" Jess smiled and wrapped his arms around her.
"I love you." Rory smiled back at him.
"Oh. That's to bad because my heart belongs to someone else." Jess smirked.
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah. Hayden!" she then ran to the couch and popped Life as a House. Jess walked in after her with the smirk still on his lips. Rory smiled innocently. He leaned over and kissed her forehead before letting her lie against him on the couch.
~~Downstairs~~
Liv and Chris went downstairs to their respective rooms. Liv flopped onto her bed reliving the night's events. She saw Colin, and got weak in the knees, something that's never happened before. Sure she's had boyfriends, but none that made her want to fall down. They had gone to theater after the massive library and Colin stared at her until she finally gave him one of the famous Mariano smirks and curled into him. The parents had found them about 2 hours later, at the end of the second movie. She and Colin said goodbye, and he slipped her a piece of paper.
'Oh the paper! I haven't looked at it yet!' Liv sat up and reached for the paper in her pocket, she opened it.

I had fun Liv, here's my contact info. And you can always call Lauren's cell. I hope you use it. Oh yeah, I'm going back to school on Monday, so you can call me there after Monday.
Colin
She sighed, then laughed at herself for getting like this over a guy. But he was nice, and so cute. Liv put the paper on her desk and sat down at her computer….maybe he was online.
~~Chris's Room~~
About a half an hour later, Liv was still online, which meant he couldn't go on. He finally gave up and went into the twins' living room, flipped on the TV and started watching TV Land. He loved the shows his parents grew up with, Friends, Will and Grace, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, ER. He was a TV and movie junkie a trait inherited by both he and Liv from Rory. After about a half an hour, he checked on Liv again.
"Are you off line yet?" Chris asked as he walked into the room. Liv turned around and glared at her brother.
"No. I'm talking to someone. Go watch TV, or do your homework or something."
"Liv, it's 12:30am. I just want to check my e-mail and go to bed." Chris sighed, sitting on his sister's bed picking up her old stuffed bear, he had one that matched. Lorelai bought them everything that matched when they were babies, much to Jess's disgust.
"Please leave. I'm talking to someone." Chris shook his head. He wanted to check and see if Lauren was online.
"Leave Christopher." Now Chris was curious. She wanted him to leave that badly? Something was up.
"No." She glared and turned back to the screen trying to ignore her brother. "Who ya talking to?"
"Somebody. Go away."
Chris thought to who Liv could be talking to for so long and not want to give up on. Then he saw a paper on her desk with Colin's name on it. "Tell Colin I say hi and tell him to tell Lauren good night." Chris laughed and left the room.
Live just put her face in her hands and shook her head before going back to typing her response.
CoffeeHoodlum: No way are the Goo Goo Dolls coming back for a reunion! One, it'd be like when Guns and Rose's came back in 2002 sans everyone except Axl. I mean, you can't have the Goo Goo Dolls without Johnny!
Yaleman35: Ok. OK. You win. Book interests?
CoffeeHoodlum: Any and all. My parents raised us on all the classics, and any books in between.
Yaleman35: Which is why ur reaction to Uncle Tristan's library was the way it was.
CoffeeHoodlum: Exactly. I loved it.
Liv smiled at the computer so happy at the moment.
Yaleman35: OH man, I g2g, Lauren wants use the computer before she goes to bed. I wish I had my laptop with me.
CoffeeHoodlum: yeah me too. J
Yaleman35: J I'll talk to you tomorrow though?
Liv thought about it. She might be able to convince her mom to let her use the car. And if not her grandma would let her use the Jeep. Ah she could find someone's car.
Yaleman35: Liv?
Coffeehoodlum: Yeah I'm here. Why don't I come up to Hartford so we can hang out?
Yaleman35: Yeah. That sounds good. Meet me at Lauren's then we'll go from there. Ok?
Liv nodded but then realized it was a computer and he couldn't see her.
CoffeeHoodlum: Sounds good I'll call you if there's a problem. But there shouldn't be.
Yaleman35: I'll see you tomorrow then.
CoffeeHoodlum: See you tomorrow.
Yaleman35 signed off. Liv smiled again, and saw Lauren's screen name come on. She logged off and went into Chris's room to tell him that she was off and that Lauren was on. Then Liv went back into her own room and got into pj's and crawled into bed. Thinking about Colin and the night she had had. This was totally uncharacteristic of her. Going ga-ga for a boy. As she fell asleep she wondered how she was going to get one of the cars for the drive to Hartford.
