All That You Can't Leave Behind
Chapter 3- City Boys
Disclaimer: We don't own anything regarding Gilmore Girls. We only own our characters that we made and our storyline. We also don't own our title, for it is a U2 album name.
A/N: We are both going away this week on vacation. So we won't be able to update for a week or so.

"So I had a brilliant idea," said Danielle serving herself another generous portion of pancakes.
"You, brilliant," Robin scoffed at Danielle's comment, Danielle glared back at her.
"Yes me," she said pouring syrup over the short stack on her plate. "I thought that we could have a sort of girls' day in the city. You know we could go downtown and look for some cute guys and shop around Providence. Because Rory and you obviously aren't interested in getting to know Ephram, Jess, and Tristan better." Danielle took a bite of pancake, "And we could all get some cute guys, I am always in the mood for cute guys!"
"Forgotten about Jess and Ephram so quickly?" asked Robin laughing.
"Oh no, I haven't forgotten I just need a man for, you know, the side," said Danielle reaching for a piece of bacon. "Who says I can only have one man any ways?'
"Danielle, Danielle," said Robin shaking her head, "when will you ever learn?"
"And when will you learn to live a little?" said Danielle a bit more seriously, "Robin you practically just met this person and you let yourself feel sad over him, you can't keep doing this, or you'll be out of your mind by the time you're 30."
"Definitely," said Rory, "It will be great going to Providence, I've never been,"
"Then it's settled," said Danielle going to the closet to rummage through the coats to find her AE jean jacket.
"Off to Providence!" said Rory grabbing her keys.

"Skater kids at two o'clock," whispered Danielle to Robin and Rory over coffee. Both Rory and Robin looked over their shoulders at the same time, "No not at the same time! Oh god they're coming over."
"Yah because you staring at them didn't give it away," said Robin sarcastically.
"Yah as you drool because one of them is blonde!" said Danielle looking at the boys now taking the table next to them. There were five of them and two of them held skateboards. Robin focused her attention on the blonde haired boy that Danielle had mentioned before. He was cute, that was clear, and usually Robin would have taken notice, but today she did not. Rory was checking out a boy with brown hair that seemed pretty out of place amongst the skateboarders. He had medium length brown hair that was partly in his green eyes and an intense stare. Danielle had already begun to move toward her prey, one of the boys holding the skateboard with brown straight hair with blonde highlights. He had blue mesmerizing eyes, *typical Danielle guy, looks like he just got kicked out of a band* Robin thought. She also was thinking of how even though they were so close Danielle and she handled guys so differently. She was always shy with guys, and always afraid of being hurt. But Danielle just seemed to dive right into relationships.
"So where do you guys go to school?" Robin heard Danielle say breaking her train of thoughts.
"UC" replied the boy Danielle had been looking at.
"Oh," said Rory, "That's where my friends Lane and David go!"
"Yah its pretty cool," replied the boy lazily, "hey," he said turning his attention to Danielle. Danielle brushed the hair off her shoulder trying to look quite uninterested, "could I possibly get your number?"
"Sure," she said sleepily and scribbled her cell phone number on a napkin. She handed it to him and gave him a half smile. *Skaters, you have to love them* thought Danielle happily.
"Be expecting a call this weekend, we should definitely do something," he said putting the napkin in his pocket.
"Yah, sounds like fun." she said, as she and Robin and Rory got up to leave.
"Wow Danielle, you don't waste any time do you?" asked Rory laughing as soon as they were out of earshot of the boys.
"Yah, well I try," said Danielle laughing at herself as well. She noticed Robin seemed not to be listening, "Robin you didn't even try, there were a few cute ones, why didn't you go for it?"
"I don't know," said Robin, "I just wasn't in the mood,"
"Well I have an idea," said Rory, "The next guys Robin and I run into we have to as out, because Danielle, you already got a guy today, it's our turn."
"Sounds like a good plan to me," said Danielle nodding, "What do you think Robin." Robin looked up and stared blankly at Danielle.
"Yah sure," said Robin uninterested. So the girls started the search for some guys.
"Oh, I have a plan!" said Danielle enthusiastically, "lets head over to the guitar center, I need to look for some amps and there are always cute guys there." So they all headed over to East Providence and walked into guitar center. Danielle was immediately driven off to look at guitars and Rory and Robin stood in a corner scoping out the store for some boys.
"Wow that one is really cute," said Rory pointing to a guy with black hair that was looking at the speakers, standing next to him was a tall blonde boy with messy hair. "Oh, and look at the boy next to him. Perfect lets go over and talk to them!" The two girls slowly approached the speakers. Rory attempted to look interested and was looking at one that the boys had just been observing. Rory slowly approached the two boys.
"Hey," she said to the one she had been looking at earlier.
"Hey," said the boy eyeing Rory.
"Looking at speakers I see, you play anything?" she asked.
"Yah I play the drums and my friend here plays the guitar," he said referring to the blonde haired boy. He looked up and then looked at Robin and smiled. Robin gave him a half smile.
"How bout you, do you play anything?" the boy questioned Rory.
"Nope," responded Rory, "we are just here with our friend Danielle, she is checking out some amps for her guitar." Said Rory looking back to see Danielle with a very determined look on her face.
"So you guys live near here?" said the blonde haired boy directing his question towards Robin. Robin seemed non-responsive.
"We live in New Haven," responded Rory for Robin, "We go to Yale."
"Oh, we go there too." Said the boy with black hair, "maybe would could get together sometime"
"Sure that would be fun," said Rory, "Right Robin?"
"Mhmm" said Robin, looking down at her fingernails.
"Right, so here is our dorm number," said Rory whipping out a pen and paper and scribbling down the number and ripping the piece of paper, "I hope we'll see you two soon,"
"Thanks," said the black haired boy smiling. The other boy smiled again, one last attempt to catch Robin's attention and she smiled back no longer caring. She knew she should be happy she just met a really cute guy. *I just met a guy that I would have killed for before, and yet I really don't care. I don't get it what the hell is wrong with me?* thought Robin.
"Hey guys," said Danielle. She watched the two boys leave, "any luck?"
"Yah," said Rory, "they both go to Yale and are going to swing by the dorm soon."
"That's wicked," said Danielle, "Well Robin, I can see you are your regular cheery self." She remarked sarcastically.
"Sorry, Danielle," said Robin snapping back out of her thoughts, "but I don't leap at every guy I see like you."
"Well it might be easier to leap if you didn't have a stick shoved up your ass." said Danielle angrily. *Why can't she just let loose for once? It's like she won't ever let herself fall for a guy, and when she ends up doing it she always gets in a mess.*
"Well we better get out of here before you two start a royal rumble," said Rory grabbing them by the wrists and leading them out of the store.
As they were driving back in Rory's car Danielle was deep in thought. *I wonder if Robin is right, am I too indecisive when it comes to guys. But I don't get it, its lie she doesn't even remember Brady. I wonder if I'll ever find a guy like him again.* thought Danielle. As they drove back to New Haven the thoughts of Brady haunted Danielle.
