Disclaimer: I don't own Gilmore Girls

Rory's POV

I had been dropped off in Ritchie Rich's world just an hour ago. Everyone had left and I was sitting on the bed that used to be my mom's looking around the room that looked nothing like anything she would ever want to live in. I couldn't really stand it anymore so I walked outside. As I walked out of the front door a boy about my age walked out of his house across the street. He waved I waved back. He started walking over. I was amazed.

"Hi I'm Tristan DuGray you must be Lorelai" the boy held out his hand.

I shook it "Rory" I corrected him.

"So Rory what brings you to Hartford" he asked.

"Punishment" I shrugged.

"What'd you do" he asked.

"I cared too much what people think" I told the truth.

"Interesting" he laughed.

"Yea but I'm worriedabout this whole rich people brain washing thing I don't want all the people I care about to hate me because I turned into a Stepford kid." I added quietly "Especially Jess"

"You know I can actually see why you were sent here" he laughed "the only way to make sure you don't become them is to rebel."

"Then no one will hate me" I asked.

He rolled his eyes.

Jess's POV

I stood in front of the huge house that seemed to be mocking me. I threw a rock at a window I knew was hers. I felt someone tap my shoulder. I turned around expecting to see a very angry looking Emily. Instead there was a boy about my age. He looked like he lived around here.

"Who are you" he asked.

"A friend of someone who lives here" I turned back towards the window and threw another rock. This time the window opened. Rory peered out and saw me then smiled and looked the other way.

"Oh Romeo Romeo wherefore art thou Romeo?"

This could go on for awhile I better stop her now.

"Get down here Gilmore" I smirked.

"Fine don't go along with my bit" she pouted he looked past me and squinted "who's with you?"

"Some rich kid" I shrugged.

"Tristan DuGray" he corrected.

"Go home Tristan" she ordered.

"You wound me Rory" he put his hand on his chest and left.

"So that's a Tristan I was thinking he was going to be some guy who loved his name a little too much and acted like a spoiled rich brat oh wait never mind" I shook my head.

"He's not that bad" Rory defended him.

"Then why'd you send him away" I asked.

"I haven't seen you in hours" she smiled "I figured having Tristan around would piss you off."

"Hey Capulet are you planning on getting down anytime soon?"

"Climb" she flipped her hair.

I stepped into a hole on the tree by her window then grabbed onto a branch pulling myself up and into her window.

"Hey" she smiled and pulled me into her room. She pushed me against the wall and leaned in until her lips crashed into mine. I quickly pulled back. This isn't my Rory.

"You feeling ok" I asked.

"Fine" she kissed me again. I pulled back again.

"I thought you liked me" she frowned.

"I do but this isn't you" I moved towards her bed.

"I'm rebelling" she crossed her arms.

"Against" I raised my eyebrows.

"Socialite society" she said "I'm doing what they don't want me to do so that I won't turn into them so when I get out of this hell hole no one will hate me for being stuck up like them."

"So you're still trying to please people just not these people" I tired to understand.

"Well when you say it like that it sounds like I'm not doing what I'm supposed to be doing but if you say it like I did it gets me out of here" she explained.

"No it doesn't your mom isn't stupid she'll know what you're trying to do" I was getting mad.

"I thought you'd want to help me get out of this hellhole but I guess you'd rather only deal with me when you want to how did you even get here" she yelled.

"A bus" I told her "I took a bus here and I got you some stuff you might need."

"What" she calmed down.

"A bag of the coffee same coffee Luke uses" I started pulling stuff out of the messenger bag I had been carrying. It was blue the exact color of Rory's eyes.

"That bag" she looked at it harder.

"It's yours" I continued taking stuff out "A few books you had lent me, a few CDs I found I thought you might like, some other stuff too." I handed her the bag.

"This isn't mine" she held up a gold locket.

"Oh it was my grandmother's uh… Luke wanted you to have it he put a picture of Lorelai and your dad in it" I told her only half lying. There was a picture of Lorelai and her dad. It was my grandmother's and I'm sure Luke would want her to have it but she had given it to me who knows why.

"Thanks Jess" she smiled knowing that Luke probably didn't even know I had given it to her.

"I told you it's from Luke" I tried again.

"Luke would never put a picture of my dad in there" she smiled.

Rory's POV

"So who put that whole rebel thing in your head" Jess asked.

"Tristan" I told him.

He gave me a locket with pictures of my parents in it. He had actually taken the time to find pictures of both my parents. The one of my mom was her at Independence at a wedding she had planned. The one of my dad was of him on a motorcycle. He couldn't have been any older than 17 probably younger. I had to get out of here. One way or another I had to get out of Hartford even if it meant running.

"How soon do you have to go back" I asked.

He shrugged.

"How about we take a little road trip" I said.

"What do you mean" he asked.

"Let's just go somewhere anywhere" I suggested.

"Rory how are we financing this little trip" he smirked.

"My grandparents got me a credit card it's unlimited" I told him.

"If you go I want to come" Someone said from behind me. I turned around and Tristan was standing behind me.

"No way" I shook my head.

"I need a way out I was hoping you'd be it guess not" he looked like his dog had just died.

"Find your own way out" Jess said "besides she's not going."

"WHAT?"

"Rory no you're here to learn not to care not learn to leave when something isn't going the way you want that's my thing"

"Well how am I supposed to get out of here then?"

"How are you supposed to go to school if we took a road trip" Jess asked.

"We still have a week left of break" I shrugged.

"Rory no you know in a week your mom is going to be missing you like crazy and you'll be back in the Hollow so you might as well stay here and try to learn your lesson in a week"

"It only takes 5 days for them to totally change someone" Tristan shook his head at the thought.

"Fine we'll leave for 5 days" Jess gave in.

"Really" I asked

"No" he shook his head.

"I better get back I'll come by again tomorrow" Jess said reluctantly.

"Ok" I nodded and kissed him on the cheek.

"I'm sorry but are you guys related" Tristan asked.

"Not yet" I told him and kissed Jess again. He left.

"You still want to go" Tristan asked.

"Live on the edge" I smiled.
