Chapter 1 – New Friends
"No, no, no. The flowers are to be sent to the inn at 9 am. Meaning this morning. Meaning it should be arriving at this very moment. No buts Michel. I'm coming, and if its not there when I get there your in trouble." Lorelai screamed into the house phone, waking up Rory. Lorelai's head popped into Rory's bedroom. "Sorry" Lorelai said with an apologetic look. Before long, Rory heard the front door open and then close quickly. Sensing that her mother left to fix the problems around the inn, Rory slowly got out of bed, and changed.
It was a sunny Saturday. The sun was already bright in the sky at 9 in the morning. There was a small wind that blew across the town. Rory was home for the weekend and was happy to be in Stars Hollow. With her chaotic schedule at Yale, being back home was the next best thing to a relaxing vacation. The town never changes but the people do.
For example, Luke now has a niece living with him in Stars Hollow. Liz, Luke's sister, has 2 kids, the older one is a son, and the younger one is a daughter. Sadly both have different fathers. The older one already stayed with Luke in Stars Hollow. He was the town's trouble maker and almost everyone hated him. His name was Jess Mariano. He was "the ultimate Bad Boy", that's what the citizens in Stars Hollow dubbed him. He was part of Rory's past. She developed a crush on him and they dated a couple of times. But before long, Jess moved to California to be with his father. He occasionally visits his mom and step-dad in Maine.
Emma Johnston was the complete opposite from her older brother. Jess was the bad boy with a wild streak, while Emma was the girl next door and was a friendly person. She has a similar personality to Rory Gilmore. Jess and Luke constantly fought, while Emma was always Luke's favorite and he treated her like his own daughter. Jess' dad was American and Emma's dad was European.
When Jess was a toddler he stayed with a family friend, while Liz went to explore all of Europe. While in England, Liz fell head over heels in love with a wealthy, young and handsome British business man, named Dan Johnston. Liz got pregnant within weeks, and stayed in Briton. Dan's mother highly disliked Liz and thought she was after her son because he came from a wealthy family and was only after his money. Mrs. Johnston tried and successfully made Liz's life a living hell. Dan and Liz were truly in love, but they both knew that they weren't meant to together. One reason was Dan's mother; another reason was that Liz didn't want to live in England. Dan's mother was constantly nagging Liz. She finally couldn't stand being in the same room as Mrs. Johnston. So Liz, 3 months into her pregnancy flew back to America. Within a few months, Emma was born. Liz was a single parent raising 2 kids. Dan offered to pay for Emma to attend boarding school in England, so Emma can be near her father. Liz was hesitant at first, but finally agreed, because Dan would fully pay for everything that Emma needed. So from kindergarten to the 9th grade, Emma was schooled in England and spent every summer with her mother and brother. Jess and Emma have a close bond; they love each other and rarely fought.
After 9th grade, Emma left England and moved with her mom and step-dad, in Maine. Then shortly after, she moved to Stars Hollow to live with her uncle Luke, because Emma wanted to be with her favorite uncle. She was accepted to Chilton, the same school Rory graduated, and Emma's dad will be for her tuition. When Rory first met Emma, they became fast friends. Rory told Emma everything she needed to know about Chilton. Emma helps out in her uncle's diner, so she and Rory always have a chance to talk.
With the arrival of Luke's niece, came Emma's stalker, literally. He didn't live in Stars Hollow, but lived in a town near by. He isn't mean, it's just that Emma doesn't like him, but other people find him to be funny and charming. His name is Dorian DuGrey, the infamous Tristan's younger brother. Emma and Dorian have been classmates, since Dorian was sent by his father to Emma's boarding school, back in the 1st grade. Emma still to this day never forgave Dorian for what he did, back in the 1st grade, while Dorian desperately wants her to forget about it and put it in the past. Dorian has a crush on Emma since he first met her, but they fight constantly. Dorian loves the fights he has with Emma. After 9th grade Dorian followed Emma to America, and made his father enroll him into Chilton, the school Emma attends and where his older brother, Tristan got kicked out of. Dorian spends most of his free time in Stars Hollow, and became friends with Rory Gilmore. Rory observed that Tristan and Dorian are similar in many ways, like physical features and both have a certain charm that makes females to become attracted to them. But both brothers are very different.
Rory met Dorian by the entrance of Luke's diner. They sat down in one of the tables near a window. Luke came by to take their order. "The usual Rory?" Luke asked. "Yea and coffee for Dorian." Rory answered.
Rory and Dorian talked while waiting for their coffee. "Dad pulled Tristan out of Princeton." Dorian informed Rory. "Why would your dad do that? From what you have been telling me, Tristan seems to have found Princeton to be the school he feels comfortable in." Rory answered back. "Well Tristan was accepted to Harvard and to Princeton. Dad being an alumnus from Harvard pressured Tristan to attend the school. Tristan schooled at Harvard for about 3 weeks, and then quietly transferred to Princeton. No one knew but Tristan and me. He finished his first year of college at Princeton and started his second year at Princeton. He was at the top of the class, he was that good. Dad just found out during winter break, and pulled him out of Princeton within days." Dorian explained.
"How did your dad find out?" Rory asked, she was very interested in this story, because it was about Tristan. "A letter arrived in the mail from Princeton. The school wanted to know if Tristan wanted to do some summer courses. When dad confronted Tristan, he finally told dad the truth. Dad made a few phone calls and told Tristan, he will be transferred to a new school. Tristan refused, stating it was the middle of the year and he can transfer next year. Dad said no. There was some yelling and Tristan agreed to transfer out of Princeton and start at his new school, I think this Monday I believe." Dorian said. He can tell that Rory was listening to every word he was saying.
"So what school will Tristan start this Monday." Rory asked very curiously. "Oh Miss Gilmore, wouldn't you like to know." Dorian said with a devilish grin. "Come on Dorian you can tell me." Rory said. "Nah, you'll find out sooner or later." Dorian said still with that sexy devilish grin on his face.
Just then Emma came running into the diner. She walked to Luke, who was arguing with a customer, and Luke followed Emma to the cash register. Emma informed Luke with some information, with by the look of his face must have been something horrible. Luke shook his head a couple of times, and then went to the diner's phone to make a phone call.
Emma went to sit with Rory and Dorian. She sat closer to Rory's side of the table.
"What happen to Luke." Rory asked. "Oh nothing, just family news. It seems that I'm the only one happy about this new discovery. I'm surprise Uncle Luke didn't try to damage anything, he's taking things surprisingly well." Emma explained.
Rory felt awkward because of what Dorian informed her about Tristan. She started to think about Tristanand how he's changed from the last time she saw him.
"Oh Rory, Clair told me what Dean's been up to. But since you told me never to talk to you about Dean, I'll keep this new information to myself. You can ask Clair about it, if you're still interested." Emma said with a smile.
Clair Forester, Dean's younger sister, always thought Rory as her sister. They could talk about anything. Rory would find everything she needed to know about Dean, through Clair. But since Dean and Rory broke up. Rory never sees Clair and can't ask her what Dean's been up to.
"Emma a little help." Luke screamed. "See you later Rory." Emma said while going behind the counter and starting to refill a coffee pot. Customers were starting to arrive for their morning breakfast. The start of the diner's rush hour began.
While Rory was drinking her coffee, her head was filled with thoughts. She couldn't believe she found out news about Tristan DuGrey and that Dean might be starting something new. Then she started thinking about Logan. Now her thoughts were about Jess Mariano. She wanted to know what Jess was doing that very moment. Rory desperately wanted to ask that question to Emma, but with the diner so busy, Rory will have to wait to ask.
Within an hour the diner started to settle down. It was still busy, but Emma was able to rest a while and Rory and Dorian were still in the diner.
Luke went by their table. "So Rory where's Lorelai?" Luke asked.
"Oh she's at the inn."
"Why what happen, usually she's here at the diner at this time of day." Luke said while pouring Rory another cup of coffee. "Well there's going to be a wedding reception at the inn and the flowers haven't arrived when they were supposed to." Rory answered. "What flower delivery is she using." Luke asked curiously. "She always uses Cara's Flower Delivery." Rory answer. Luke and Emma looked at each other. Emma started laughing and shacking her head and Luke rolled his eyes.
"Why what did I say?' Rory wanted to know what was making Emma and Luke act weird. "Well I hear that Cara's flower delivery has a new delivery boy, who started his first job today. For what you just said, I think the new delivery boy's first job was delivering flowers to the inn." Emma said.
"He's failing his first delivery. Guess some things never change." Luke said while walking to the cash register.
