When Slumber Parties Go Coed
Disclaimer: I don't own Gilmore Girls, or else I probably would be writing a script instead of an ff story. But the idea of the story and any extra characters are mine.
A/N: Hey, this is the 5th chapter. I think I'm going to turn the story in a different direction but it will mainly stay the same. Thanks for all the reviews! Oh by the way it's a Trory. I'm a Trory writer I can't see myself writing anything else but Rory and Tristan! And thanks to NyGurl618 for the great suggestion!
Chapter 5: You show mw yours, and I'll show you mine
" So your telling me that you actually think that 'Ciabo Mato' is better than 'Bjork'? Your crazy!" Lane exclaimed.
" No, I just know what's better. And I'm telling you that 'Ciabo Mato' has better beats and songs then 'Bjork' because they actually have songs that make sense." Jess said trying to reason with Lane.
" No, 'Ciabo Mato''s lead singer can't be understood. I never know what she is saying, so how can that be making sense?"
" This coming from the person who hides all her cds'' under her floor boards!"
" Yeah, well you don't have an 'against everything' mother like I do!"
" Your mother's against everything?" Tristan asked as he and Rory descended from upstairs.
" Oh yeah, everything! She thinks that non-Christian music will only lead to people having orgies in the park, and that some piercings that are not located on your ears is an invasion of your precious, private temple."
" Wow."
" Yeah, so I find ways around all her restrictions."
" By how?"
" She's very clever." Rory commented.
" Thank You. I hide all my cds under the floor boards in my room, and my closet is the only place in my room that I feel like an actual normal teenager."
" Oh, tell him about the clothes!" Paris said.
" Yeah, my mother is against all clothing that has rocker band logos, and she prefers me to wear my bible camp T-shirt and non- loud colored shirts. So I put my normal clothes on under the mother-approved clothing, and take it off on my way to school."
" She's been doing this since we were seven." Rory told Tristan.
" So you're an expert sneak?" Tristan asked.
" You bet."
" Cool."
" So what are we going to do, the music debating is getting confusing since I don't know who 'Ciabo Mato' is." Paris said.
" Don't worry Paris we'll bring you into the wonderful world of the 'silver spoon'. Lane said.
" What?"
" It's a song she sings." Rory explained.
" Oh." Paris said feeling kind of out of the loop.
" Anyone have any ideas of what we could do?" Rory asked.
Silence overtook the room for a few moments before someone spoke up.
" We have a few suggestions." Tristan said, looking at Jess.
" Why am I afraid to hear this?" Rory said uneasily.
" How do you feel about Confession?" Jess asked with a sly grin on his face looking back at Tristan.
" Confession as in revieling all your sins to a priest so you can feel less guilty? That kind of confession?" Lane said.
" I mean, we sit down, and reveal all our secrets." Jess said.
" It's like truth or dare, just without the dare part." Tristan told.
" So whatever sleezy thing you did in the past we get to find out about?" Paris said, suddenly perking up.
" Yeah, you could say that, but none of this leaves this room." Tristan said eyeing everybody, especially Paris and Rory, who looked like they were already preparing to black mail him.
" I'm in." Lane said first. " I don't have anything that exciting to reveal any ways. That's kinda sad really."
" I guess I'll play, just as long as everybody understands that none of this information leaves this room. And if any of you as much as even think about telling someone; I'm coming after you with tar and feathers." Paris said warningly.
" I suppose that means I'm playing too, don't wanna be left out. But I'm with Paris, anybody tells anyone about what we've done and it's curtains for ya." Rory said.
" We didn't think that your secrets were this interesting. Now I really do want to know." Tristan said.
" Hey it only gets good when we hear about a piercing, or a tattoo. Now, knowing that none of you have these, they can't bet that great." Jess put in.
Rory, Paris, and Lane avoided all eye contact when Jess said these things. Kind of smiling to each other, knowing that their secrets were worthwhile telling.
" No way!" Tristan and Jess said both at the same time.
The girls still didn't dare say anything.
" Were not saying anything until you tell us something juicy." Lane said.
" Like what?" Tristan asked. Dying to know what Rory could have done. It was hard to believe that any of these girls could have gotten a piercing or a tattoo. From the way he took in their personalities and situations in school, he never would have guessed. ' I guess Mary has a few things to tell. She couldn't have a tattoo. No way! No possible way that Rory Gilmore would have a tattoo. Is there?'
" Like...." Rory said moving past Tristan and Jess and taking a seat on her sleeping bag. Paris and Lane following suit.
" Like you tell us yours and we'll tell you ours." Paris said.
Tristan looked at Jess, and Jess looked back, a bewildered look on his face. Jess lifted his arm to Tristan's shoulder, and they huddled up, making a game plan.
" So you really think they have a tattoo or a piercing?" Tristan said whispiring to Jess, so that the girls couldn't hear.
" I'm not sure. If Rory had anything done, I'm sure she would have told me. But the way the girls were looking at each other, they deffinetly have something done."
" I don't think Rory would get a tattoo." Tristan told Jess.
" Yeah, I don't think she would go to that extreme. But do you really think a piercing?"
" Maybe, I don't know. Its not like she would tell me. Or it's not like I would see it."
" I am completely stumped on this one. What about the others, what do you think they have?" Jess asked Tristan.
" I can sort of see Lane as a pierced kind of person, but the way she described her mother, I don't think she would get away with it."
" Yeah, Mrs. Kim knows all and sees all."
" Paris. I have no idea what she could have."
" You think they're lying to us?" Jess said.
" Could be."
" So what do we tell them first?" Jess asked.
" We could tell them about our marks." Tristan said suggetstingly.
" You mean what we got done in New York?"
" Yeah man."
" We could do that."
" I think this is going to be very intersesting."
" And educational."
" Can't forget that!"
" Ok, on the count of three we tell them what we have, ok?"
" Gotcha."
" Ok. One...two..three!"
Jess and Tristan both turned around. The girls weren't looking at them; instead they were contently speaking among themselves.
" Uh, ladies?" Tristan said.
The girls still didn't hear them over there conversation.
" Yo! You wanna know what we got or what?" Jess shouted at the three chatterboxes.
" Yeah tell us!" Paris said.
" Who do you want to go first?" Tristan asked.
Lane leaned over Rory to get in the decision of who was going first.
" I say Tristan." Paris whispered to Rory and Lane.
" Me too!" Lane said.
" Well it's two against one anyways." Rory looked up at the two guys standing in the living room. ' Jess would have told me if he had anything done to him right? He's probably just going to tell us a lame story of how he stole a Rolex from Macy's. I wonder what Tristan has. I always see him with his uniform on so I wouldn't doubt that he's covering something. I wonder were it is? Rory this is Tristan, your not supposed to think about were his supposed tattoo is on his body. That is totally against the rules! Ok, get your self under control their Gilmore. Ok!
" So Tristan, what do you have and where?"
Tristan smiled and looked down at the floor for a second. ' So they want to know what I have do they? Ok DuGrey, show them what you got. I wonder what Rory's got? And did she want to see mine over Jess's? There's still hope. He reached his arms over his head and slid of the white wife beater. Slowly, he turned around, reveiling a wide tattoo of his initials, 'TJD'. It was in navy blue, and black colors. The best part was, was that it was located on his lower back, just above his waistline.
Lane was opened mouthed starring at his tattoo. Paris didn't seem to care really, already expecting him to have done something like this since his rebellious stage. Rory looked at it almost carefully. ' Now that I didn't expect. I thought he would do something like this, but I didn't really think he would get it done now. It must be one of those things where you need to see it to believe it. It looks good on him. Was he that tan before?'
" So what do you think of Tristan's mark?" Jess asked.
" Its uh, very nice. Well placed." Lane said.
" Its ok, but where did you get it done? I think the guy might have colored outside the lines." Paris said half laughing, trying to keep her calm.
Tristan just looked at her smiling a bit and shaking his head.
" Are you ever going to give me a nice compliment Paris?"
" I don't think so."
" Thanks for your honesty, really I appreciate it."
" No prob." Paris said, while putting on a fake smile.
" So sweetums, what do you think?"
" I think you should have gotten 'Kick Me' printed instead. It would have been a whole lot more fun." Rory said.
" I agree." Jess said.
" Hey whose side are you on anyway?" Tristan asked facing Jess.
" I'm on nobody's side man, I just think getting your initials done was a little too...I don't know.."
" Boring." Rory suggested.
" Yeah, boring. You could have at least gotten something next to it like a symbol something."
" How is mine boring you were with me when we got them. You helped me pick it out. Dude, yours is more boring than mine."
" You have one too?!" Rory said. Asking Jess.
" Yeah we got them like, what two years ago?" Jess turned to Tristan to confirm.
Tristan nodded.
" Yeah two years ago." He said turning back to Rory.
" And you didn't tell me because....?"
" It never came up."
" So were you ever going to tell me?"
" Of course."
" When it came up?"
" Yes."
" What if I never brought it up, than would you have told me anyways?"
" Yes. I just didn't think it was that important."
" Yeah, yeah, yeah. Guys break it up. Ror he's showing us now, don't get overworked on something that isn't a big deal ok?" Lane said trying to keep her best friend, and ex from fighting.
" Fine."
" Fine. I was going to tell you."
" I believe you."
" Good."
" So lets see."
Jess took of the cuff he always wore on his right hand. Turning his hand to the palm side for them to see. On his Wrist, (On the palm side) was a Chinese symbol in black letters. It was fairly small, but it seemed bigger, since it was always hidden away.
" Does Luke know about that?" Rory asked.
" Sort of."
" What do you mean 'Sort of'?"
" Well I told him I had a tattoo, but I didn't tell him where."
" Oh."
" Yeah."
" Jeez, if you think he got freaked by the 'Metallica' t-shirt wait till he finds out about this."
" Just don't show it around Kim's Antiques. My mother will probably send me to a church seminar on how teenagers should respect the will of god, and keep your body just as he created you."
" Gotcha." Jess said.
" So now that our markings on our precious, private temple are reviled. Show us yours." Tristan said.
" Hold on for a minute." Rory said. " Guys, what are we going to do?"
" Well since all of ours are mainly the same thing. It shouldn't really matter who goes first." Paris said.
" I'll go first." Lane volenteered.
" Are you sure you want to go first?" Rory asked.
" Yeah. I'll break the ice, and you guys will leave them in shock. Ok, so who is going second?"
" I'll go. I want to see Tristan's reaction to my non-Paris like behavior incident."
" Ok. I guess that means I'm going last huh." Rory said.
" Oh do you mind?" Paris said.
" No, no. It's ok. You know I never thought I'd be showing this to Jess or to Tristan. Especially Tristan." Rory said.
" Why not?" Lane asked.
" Because that's what it exactly is. Jess and Tristan."
" Girls we don't have all night." Jess said from their side of the room.
" Hey! Did we rush you? No. SO keep your shirt on." Paris yelled over to them.
" Don't worry, that won't be a problem." Jess countered back.
" So we ready?" Paris asked.
" As I'll ever be." Lane said.
" Sure." Rory said. ' I wonder what they are going to think? What will Jess say when he finds out and I never told him? Wait! He never told me about his tattoo so why should I have told him what I got? So he can't get mad at me. Ha! What will Tristan think? He probably won't think it's a big deal. He's deffinetly seen them before. Especially when he's getting serious. Wait why am I thinking of what he thinks? I hope he gets surprised, and if his mouth drops..I'm going to walk over to him and shut it. The end to my deffinetly non-rory like behavior incident. Something I will never repeat again. Because it hurt like hell!'
" Ok were ready." Lane said to Jess and Tristan.
" And were ready to see." Tristan said happily.
" Lane's is going first, than Paris, than me." Rory told them.
" Fine with us." Jess said.
Lane stood up in front of Paris and Rory. She slowly lifted up her shirt a bit and revealed a small shiny stud in her belly button.
" Kim! You have a belly button ring!" Jess shouted with disbelief.
" Yup."
" How did your mother let you do that?" Tristan asked.
" Well it's kind of like a Korean culture thing. Along tome ago, even back in the 20's and before hand. Some people believed that getting piercings would prevent adults and teenagers from having sex. So naturally my mother believed that and followed the ancient Korean rule book and she wanted me to get one."
" Wow. That is really...interesting." Jess said.
" I told you that this was going to be educational!" Tristan said.
" I think she would try anything to get me away from hormonal driven teenage boys, and maybe like this was a symbol to ward them off." Lane said.
" Personally, I think it just makes it a bigger of a turn on." Tristan said.
" And personally, I think if you say anything more than exploiting your sexual tendencies, I think I'm gonna have to beat you." Paris said.
" You know a tough chick is also a turn on." Jess said in the back.
" And a guy who believes Weird Al still has a chance at making a comeback is deffinetley a turn off." Rory said with a come back.
" I actually heard he made a new cd. And his music doesn't make much sense either, but sometimes you need to hear something that doesn't make sense to make yourself seem really smart." Jess said.
" I totally agree with you." Tristan said.
" Now see, my friend Tristan here understands my need for total bullshit. Why can't you understand me that way?" Jess said.
" Because we like not understanding your ways. It makes us feel a lot smarter." Rory said.
" You know I love you right Ror?" Jess said.
" Sure I do."
" Than why haven't you shown me what you have yet?"
" Because it's Paris's turn. I'm last."
Jess looked at Paris, and caught her smiling. ' I wonder what she has?" Jess wondered.
" Ok Paris, show us what you got." Jess said.
Paris looked at Jess again. And a knowing smile crossed her lips.
" You're already looking at it." Paris said.
" What?" Tristan asked.
" Where?" Jess said.
Paris lifted up her pointer finger, and pointed it to her nose. Where lay, a small silver stud. Bearly noticeable to the human eye. Or at least Jess, and Tristan's eye.
" You have a nose ring?" Tristan said.
" Yeah."
" When did you get this?" Tristan asked. " Wouldn't I have seen it at school?"
" I got it done last summer. My mom and dad's divorced made me do some crazy things I guess, now I just ignore them."
" Wow." Jess said.
" I kept it in all summer, and than I took it out when school started. Were not allowed to show any body piercings anyways so, it all works out. And whenever I come to Rory's house or wherever on the weekends, I just put it back in." Paris explained.
" Very sneaky." Jess said.
" Yeah well, I decided I can't be the person people are afraid of all the time. I needed a change. And I think it suits me very well."
" I do to." Rory said. " It was a good change."
" So what change did you do Rory?" Tristan asked.
Rory took a deep breath. ' They wont laugh at you; they'll probably just be surprised. Shy Rory Gilmore did something rebellious and non-rory like. Ok, so her mother was with her at the time and taking pictures, but that doesn't make a difference.
Rory stood up before Tristan and Jess, and lifted her shirt above her belly button.
" My mom wanted us to get matching tattoos but I'm not one for much pain, so I settled for this." Rory said, letting Tristan and Jess stare at her belly button.
" You have a belly button ring." Jess stated.
" You have a piece of metal going through your skin, that has a little diamond on it. A blue diamond." Tristan added.
" Well when you put it that way, you make it sound disgusting."
" No, no, no." Jess and Tristan said in unision.
" It's very appealing." Tristan said still starring at her belly button.
" I totally and completely agree. Oh! And when did you get this?" Jess said.
" I would have gotten it done with Lane but her mom made a big deal out of it, and said she needed to have a private praying seramony, before god blessed her with the power of, something or other, I don't remember, but it was to keep guys away. Or just non Korean guys." Rory explained.
" So you got this a long time ago, and you didn't tell me?" Jess asked.
" Hey! You have no right to get mad at me when you didn't tell me about your tattoo!"
" Easy, I didn't want anybody to know about it!"
" Well I didn't want anybody to know about mine either!"
They were both silent.
" I think were getting cabin fever." Rory said slowly.
" I think were going to end up eating each other if we don't stop fighting over the stupidest things." Jess said back.
" Sorry."
" Yeah, me too."
" So now that we've got that out of the way, what's next on the Confession agenda?" Tristan asked.
" Oh this is going to be a very long night!" Lane said exasperated, hitting her head on her pillow.
A/N: Hey! So that was chapter five. Sorry I took so long to update. I had to write two papers on DNA, and a confederate spy. I know this chapter sucked but I'm running out of ideas for them to do! I got a great suggestion from NyGurl618 and that really helped me. I'll see to update soon. Thanx for all the great reviews! Please R/R on this chapter too! Later Days Bean ; )
Disclaimer: I don't own Gilmore Girls, or else I probably would be writing a script instead of an ff story. But the idea of the story and any extra characters are mine.
A/N: Hey, this is the 5th chapter. I think I'm going to turn the story in a different direction but it will mainly stay the same. Thanks for all the reviews! Oh by the way it's a Trory. I'm a Trory writer I can't see myself writing anything else but Rory and Tristan! And thanks to NyGurl618 for the great suggestion!
Chapter 5: You show mw yours, and I'll show you mine

" I think this is going to be very intersesting."
" And educational."
" Can't forget that!"
" Ok, on the count of three we tell them what we have, ok?"
" Gotcha."

Jess and Tristan both turned around. The girls weren't looking at them; instead they were contently speaking among themselves.

" Gotcha." Jess said.

" I'll go first." Lane volenteered.
" Are you sure you want to go first?" Rory asked.

" No, no. It's ok. You know I never thought I'd be showing this to Jess or to Tristan. Especially Tristan." Rory said.
" Why not?" Lane asked.
" Because that's what it exactly is. Jess and Tristan."
" Girls we don't have all night." Jess said from their side of the room.
" Hey! Did we rush you? No. SO keep your shirt on." Paris yelled over to them.
" Don't worry, that won't be a problem." Jess countered back.
" So we ready?" Paris asked.
" As I'll ever be." Lane said.
" Sure." Rory said. ' I wonder what they are going to think? What will Jess say when he finds out and I never told him? Wait! He never told me about his tattoo so why should I have told him what I got? So he can't get mad at me. Ha! What will Tristan think? He probably won't think it's a big deal. He's deffinetly seen them before. Especially when he's getting serious. Wait why am I thinking of what he thinks? I hope he gets surprised, and if his mouth drops..I'm going to walk over to him and shut it. The end to my deffinetly non-rory like behavior incident. Something I will never repeat again. Because it hurt like hell!'
" Ok were ready." Lane said to Jess and Tristan.
" And were ready to see." Tristan said happily.
" Lane's is going first, than Paris, than me." Rory told them.
" Fine with us." Jess said.
Lane stood up in front of Paris and Rory. She slowly lifted up her shirt a bit and revealed a small shiny stud in her belly button.
" Kim! You have a belly button ring!" Jess shouted with disbelief.
" Yup."
" How did your mother let you do that?" Tristan asked.
" Well it's kind of like a Korean culture thing. Along tome ago, even back in the 20's and before hand. Some people believed that getting piercings would prevent adults and teenagers from having sex. So naturally my mother believed that and followed the ancient Korean rule book and she wanted me to get one."
" Wow. That is really...interesting." Jess said.
" I told you that this was going to be educational!" Tristan said.
" I think she would try anything to get me away from hormonal driven teenage boys, and maybe like this was a symbol to ward them off." Lane said.
" Personally, I think it just makes it a bigger of a turn on." Tristan said.
" And personally, I think if you say anything more than exploiting your sexual tendencies, I think I'm gonna have to beat you." Paris said.
" You know a tough chick is also a turn on." Jess said in the back.
" And a guy who believes Weird Al still has a chance at making a comeback is deffinetley a turn off." Rory said with a come back.
" I actually heard he made a new cd. And his music doesn't make much sense either, but sometimes you need to hear something that doesn't make sense to make yourself seem really smart." Jess said.
" I totally agree with you." Tristan said.
" Now see, my friend Tristan here understands my need for total bullshit. Why can't you understand me that way?" Jess said.
" Because we like not understanding your ways. It makes us feel a lot smarter." Rory said.
" You know I love you right Ror?" Jess said.
" Sure I do."
" Than why haven't you shown me what you have yet?"
" Because it's Paris's turn. I'm last."
Jess looked at Paris, and caught her smiling. ' I wonder what she has?" Jess wondered.
" Ok Paris, show us what you got." Jess said.
Paris looked at Jess again. And a knowing smile crossed her lips.
" You're already looking at it." Paris said.
" What?" Tristan asked.
" Where?" Jess said.
Paris lifted up her pointer finger, and pointed it to her nose. Where lay, a small silver stud. Bearly noticeable to the human eye. Or at least Jess, and Tristan's eye.
" You have a nose ring?" Tristan said.
" Yeah."
" When did you get this?" Tristan asked. " Wouldn't I have seen it at school?"
" I got it done last summer. My mom and dad's divorced made me do some crazy things I guess, now I just ignore them."
" Wow." Jess said.
" I kept it in all summer, and than I took it out when school started. Were not allowed to show any body piercings anyways so, it all works out. And whenever I come to Rory's house or wherever on the weekends, I just put it back in." Paris explained.
" Very sneaky." Jess said.
" Yeah well, I decided I can't be the person people are afraid of all the time. I needed a change. And I think it suits me very well."
" I do to." Rory said. " It was a good change."
" So what change did you do Rory?" Tristan asked.
Rory took a deep breath. ' They wont laugh at you; they'll probably just be surprised. Shy Rory Gilmore did something rebellious and non-rory like. Ok, so her mother was with her at the time and taking pictures, but that doesn't make a difference.
Rory stood up before Tristan and Jess, and lifted her shirt above her belly button.
" My mom wanted us to get matching tattoos but I'm not one for much pain, so I settled for this." Rory said, letting Tristan and Jess stare at her belly button.
" You have a belly button ring." Jess stated.
" You have a piece of metal going through your skin, that has a little diamond on it. A blue diamond." Tristan added.
" Well when you put it that way, you make it sound disgusting."
" No, no, no." Jess and Tristan said in unision.
" It's very appealing." Tristan said still starring at her belly button.
" I totally and completely agree. Oh! And when did you get this?" Jess said.
" I would have gotten it done with Lane but her mom made a big deal out of it, and said she needed to have a private praying seramony, before god blessed her with the power of, something or other, I don't remember, but it was to keep guys away. Or just non Korean guys." Rory explained.
" So you got this a long time ago, and you didn't tell me?" Jess asked.
" Hey! You have no right to get mad at me when you didn't tell me about your tattoo!"
" Easy, I didn't want anybody to know about it!"
" Well I didn't want anybody to know about mine either!"
They were both silent.
" I think were getting cabin fever." Rory said slowly.
" I think were going to end up eating each other if we don't stop fighting over the stupidest things." Jess said back.
" Sorry."
" Yeah, me too."
" So now that we've got that out of the way, what's next on the Confession agenda?" Tristan asked.
" Oh this is going to be a very long night!" Lane said exasperated, hitting her head on her pillow.
A/N: Hey! So that was chapter five. Sorry I took so long to update. I had to write two papers on DNA, and a confederate spy. I know this chapter sucked but I'm running out of ideas for them to do! I got a great suggestion from NyGurl618 and that really helped me. I'll see to update soon. Thanx for all the great reviews! Please R/R on this chapter too! Later Days Bean ; )
