I Don't own anything that has to do with Gilmore Girls. Thanks to all my reviewers! I'm being lazy and not writing everyone's names but thanks, you guys rock.

After the girls left the boys sat around trying to decide what to do about the Tristin problem. He had been one of their best friends until he went to Chilton while the others went to Andover out in Boston, so it made it somewhat hard for them to stay friends. And all of the guys liked Rory a lot more than him, from about the first couple hours they knew her.

Finn was the worst, he had liked Rory from the beginning and he had started to treat her like the sister he never had. It didn't matter how long he had known her, finding Tristin doing that to her sent him over the edge. He had been ready to kill the boy at that moment, but he didn't instead he got him away, and helped out Rory, something he felt that he would always try to do.

Colin only liked Rory so much because she was so smart and really nice. Plus it helped that Steph liked her a lot. He had sat with her having a heated discussion about, who can remember, while they waited for the show to start. And throughout the entire conversation, she had never backed down. That had set her apart from all of the other girls who had graced his group's presence, not counting Stephanie of course. He wanted to keep Rory with the group, and if ridding themselves of Tristin was the way to do it? Then so be it.

Now Logan, Logan was a different story altogether. For some reason, he had fallen for this girl almost immediately. He had no idea why, it just happened. From her sweet disposition, to her natural beauty, to her intelligence, this girl was perfection. And he had decided that morning, as he held her in his arms watching her sleep, that he wasn't letting her get away very easily. And then when he found out what Tristin had done, he was ready to commit murder, but he couldn't, first he had to find a way to protect her while she was at school with this boy.

And that's what the boys were trying to do, they were trying to find a way to protect her at school, when she would normally be all alone with Tristin.

Steph took Rory all over the mall and into just about every shop in the three story mall there was, or so it seemed. They even went into the shops that Rory liked even though Steph didn't as much, like Spencer's and Hot Topic. They even bought silly gifts for the boys, because it made Rory happy, and helped her to not think as much about what had happened.

As they were shopping in one of the music stores, Rory found the souvenir for her mom that she had forgotten to buy the night before. She found a P.J. Harvey T-shirt, hat, and a c.d. of all the songs that was played at the concert. Hopefully her mom would think that all of this stuff had actually come from the concert too.

As they were shopping the cell phone Lorelai had given her started to ring. She looked down at the caller id and saw that it was her mom.

"Thank you for calling Mimi's house of super hot men. For John Paul press 1, for Vince press 2, and for Duke press 3," Rory said into the phone. Stephanie stood next to her covering her mouth to keep from laughing out loud.

"Well my favorite has always been John Paul, or J.P. as I like to call him, but today I think I'll go with Vince." Her mother replied airily.

"Really Duke is my favorite, his name is just so…royal, I really like it. So what's up mom?" Rory asked absently.

"Well…you didn't call me, and I was really looking forward to those details you promised me. So tell your wonderful mommy what you did that made it so you had to go home with someone else last night," Lorelai responded, sounding both sad and serious at the same time.

"What makes you think I did something mom?" Rory asked innocently.

"Because as impossible as it is to believe I was a teenager once, so what was it?" she asked confused as to why her daughter was avoiding answering.

"Wait, you're not still a teenager? And here I thought you were forever young," Rory responded trying to suck up.

"Now that I can really tell that you are avoiding answering I know something bad had to of happened. So please hun tell me what it is, that way I might be able to help you," she sounded really worried, so naturally Rory gave in.

"Fine mom, I kind of got a bit drunk last night, because my silly new exotic boy toy is a bit of an alcoholic," Rory said slowly, "Not just a bit he's the most intense alcoholic you will ever meet!" Steph shouted into the phone.

"An exotic boy toy, and you haven't brought him home yet? And about the drinking, honey that's kind of expected when I tell you to be a regular teenager," Lorelai told her daughter laughing.

"Wait, mom you're not mad? I thought you'd be furious," Rory admitted truthfully.

"Well I am a little mad, that I wasn't able to introduce you to alcohol. And I want you to not be doing this regularly. But because I know you didn't drive, and you got home safely, I'm not too mad about it. But I do want you to be coming back soon, so that I can get dinner with you and feel like a loser, because I'm eating by myself. And then you can bring your exotic boy toy to meet me. Okay?" Lorelai told her daughter proud that she had actually acted normal for once.

"Yeah mom I'll leave soon, and bring you the Australian. And you can meet the rest of my new friends too. So bye mom, I love you," Rory said.

"Alright kid, I love you too. Bye," and they hung up.

"Are you ready to go Steph?"

"Sure, as long as you are."

And the two girls gathered up all of their packages, and left the mall.

The boys had brainstormed and thrown out different ideas for almost an hour rejecting just about every single one. Then Finn came up with something he thought would work great.

"Hey guys, I have a wonderful idea to help out the lovely Miss Gilmore. And you can't say no until you hear me out, okay?" he wanted to know, because ever since his first idea, they hadn't let him get more than a few words out before they shot his ideas down.

"Alright fine," Logan and Colin responded defeated, after this long and no ideas forthcoming one of Finn's plans might actually work. Normally when they were bored and had nothing to do they always used Finn's plans, so why stop now?

"Well, since we want to help her at school…why don't we go to her school? Seriously it's genius, our parents wouldn't care, Chilton is just as good a school as Andover. Logan would get to be around Rory, and we would be able to keep Tristin away. Plus with the kind of influence our families have we could be transferred in a few hours!" Finn told them getting excited as he explained his plan.

"Wow Finn. Wow, that is all I have to say. You actually came up with an intelligent, and obvious plan all by yourself. Maybe that's why you can get good grades when you actually pay attention," Logan told his friend, patting him on the back.

"But wait, why don't we just get her to transfer to Andover? That way she wouldn't even have to see Dugrey?" Colin wanted to know.

"That would be a good plan but she would never go for it. She loves her weird town too much, and her mom probably wouldn't want them to have to move to Boston. And I doubt Rory would want to run away from her problems. Plus it's easier if we move, because our parents can get it done easily," Logan told Colin patronizingly.

"Fine, call your dads, and I'll call mine, and even talk to Steph's father for her. But first, Finn because it was your idea you call Steph," Colin replied.

"Fine I will."

When Finn told Steph she was all for the idea, and so the boys all called their fathers and convinced them to allow them to change schools. After talking to each other all of the men decided it was a good idea, and so had a conference call with Headmaster Charleston, and thus convinced him to allow their children to transfer for the next day. And so all of Rory's new friends were going to go to her school with her the next day.

Won't that be fun? And what will Lorelai think of Rory's new friends when she meets them?
