Here's the next update. Hope you like it.
The night came and went. The group had gotten up early and got ready for school. They decided to take the Escalades today. When they arrived at school, the halls were filled with a buzz. It seems that news of Tristan's new situation traveled fast.
Tristan went through the day listening to the gossip. Apparently he was taking drugs, had robbed a bank and had three kids. It was amazing, the things people would believe.
At the end of the day, they got into their cars, and drove home.
When they all arrived home, they came into the house and heard someoneupstairs. When they went to check it out, they saw that it was Lorelei.
"Mom what are you doing?" Rory asked watching her mother throw things into a suitcase.
"Packing." she said like it explained it all.
"For what?" Rory tried again.
"There's this Inn managers conference that I have to attend this weekend." She said, pulling the zipper on her bag closed. "I'll be back Sunday."
"Ok." Rory said.
"There's money for food under the dirty monkey lamp and I love all of you." She said walking out of her room with the suitcase. She set it down, hugged all the girls, and kissed Rory's forehead. She then walked over to the guys and all of them except Tristan, who had no idea what was going on, started groaning. "No, no, no please no!"
Lorelei started playing with their hair.
"Now we have to fix it!" Logan groaned.
"I know, that's why I do it." She smirked and then walked down the stairs and out the door.
"So we're on our own for the rest of the week." Louise concluded.
"So what to do?" Paris asked.
"Movie night?" Colin suggested.
"Ok!" Madeline agreed.
"Logan, Louise, you get the candy from Doose's. Madeline, Finn go get the food from Al's. Paris and Colin you two go get pizza from Pete. Tristan and I will get the movies." Rory instructed.
"Ok" they all chorused. They all left the house and headed in their separate directions.
At Al's, Madeline and Finn stood up by the counter hand in hand.
"Can we get the entire Beef and Chicken section?" Madeline asked cheerfully.
The guy nodded and turned to get her order.
At Dooses, Logan was carrying the basket while Louise was running down all of the aisles, looking for junk food.
She ran down aisle one and picked up marshmallows and cookies. She then ran down another aisle and skidded to a stop in front of the candy, she picked up Red Vines, and malt balls.
She handed them all off to Logan who had been the dutiful boyfriend, and was following behind her. She started up again and ended at the Chips. She pulled out plain potato and then sour cream and onion.
When the basket was full, they walked toward the cashier, as Logan pulled out his credit card. Louise just smiled at him as they paid for their food then left the store.
At Pete's, Paris was arguing with the cashier.
"I want three cheese pizzas! And one with pepperoni and onion!" Paris screamed. No one liked pepperoni or onion but she loved picking on the cashiers.
"We can't do that!" The cashier said weakly.
"You have onion and pepperoni! So just put them together!" Paris yelled.
The guy nodded weakly, then went and got the 4 four pizzas. He handed them to Paris and she opened them up one by one. Nodding at the first three and then she smirked when she got to the last one. She closed it and pushed it back towards the guy.
"No one eats pepperoni and onion." She said, and she walked out the door.
"Sorry about that. She likes to pick on the new workers." Colin explained and left.
At the video store, Rory and Tristan seemed to be arguing.
"Come on! Can we get Pirates of the Caribbean?" Tristan begged.
"No!" Rory argued. (A/N: I love this movie so its not like I have anything against it, its just its an action movie, Rory normally watched the classics.)
Tristan kissed her and then broke away.
"Please?" He said. She nodded.
"You cheated!" She yelled when they got out of the store.
"I did not." He laughed.
"Did too!" Rory muttered looking through the bag. She had picked out, The Goonies, Sixteen Candles, Breakfast at Tiffany's and Tristan had picked out Pirates of the Caribbean.
They got back to the house at the same time as every one else.
The girls surrounded Rory as they got into the house, and the guys talked to Tristan.
"What did you get?" Louise asked.
"The Goonies, Sixteen Candles, and Breakfast at Tiffany's." Rory started.
"All good classics." Louise said, nodding in approval.
"And Pirates of the Caribbean." Rory said through gritted teeth.
"Why that one?" Louise questioned.
"Tristan cheated!" She yelled loud enough for Tristan to hear.
"I used my own methods!" He shouted, laughing.
"What is she talking about?" Logan asked Tristan.
"I picked out Pirates of the Caribbean." Tristan snickered.
"How did you get her to say yes?" Colin asked.
"I kissed her." He said.
"Finally an action movie!" Logan said cheering.
The girls just glared.
They popped in the movies after setting out the food. Pirates was put in first.
"Orlando Bloom is so hot!" Rory said staring at the screen.
Louise caught on shortly.
"He is." Louise said, moving away from Logan's embrace to sit next to
Rory.
"I mean look at him and his accent is so sexy!" Rory said.
"He's so, so, dreamy!" Louise said with a faraway look in her eyes. Rory's eyes mirrored them.
When they turned to look at their boyfriends, they saw that the expressions they had weren't too happy. The two girls broke out in laughter.
"What's so funny?" Tristan asked.
"The look on your faces." Louise choked out.
Rory calmed down, kissed Tristan and whispered "payback" in his ear.
As the night wore on, they fell asleep. When they woke up the next morning, they were late for school.
"Get up!" Rory yelled.
"Why?" They groaned.
"Because we have 30 minutes until first bell rings!" She yelled running up the stairs.
Everyone hopped up and dashed around to get ready, they got into the cars Rory and Logan drove. Since they were the fastest drivers, they got to the school in 15 minutes flat.
They ran to homeroom and tripped as they were coming in the door. Rory on the bottom, Tristan on top of her, Louise on top of him. Everyone else managed to stop before falling into the room.
"Dugrey." The teacher called.
"Here!" He yelled.
"Tristan get off me!" Rory yelled.
The class cracked up as Rory's cheeks began to burn.
Louise slowly got up, and Tristan got up right after her. He held out a hand as he helped Rory up.
They silently took their seats. The guys in the back row and the girls in front of their respective boyfriends.
The day passed quickly and they arrived home later then usual because they lost track of time at school.
It was 4:30 when they got home and they sat around in the kitchen talking until 5:30 when everyone but Tristan got dressed for Friday Night dinners.
The others and Amber got going and at about 8 there was a knock on the door.
Tristan opened it to see a blonde girl a couple years older standing in front of him.
She smiled, and Tristan dashed up to her and picked her up hugging her.
"What are you doing here?" He asked once he set her down.
"I just got back from Iraq and I wanted you to be the first one I saw. Right after Kevin that is." The girl said happily, she was wearing blue jeans, a green button up with medals and patches on it, and a camo hat.
"Come in, come in! We should talk!" He said ushering her in to the house. He didn't even notice the two cars pulling into the driveway.
Tristan and the mystery girl walked to the living room.
"You had no idea how much I missed you!" The older blonde yelled.
"I missed you so much!" Tristan said. "I didn't know if you were ever going to come back."
Tristan hugged the girl tight closing his eyes. The girl kissed his cheek and when Tristan opened his eyes, he was not prepared for the sight he was about to see.
Rory was running out the garage door with the girls running after her. The guys stood still with their fists clenched, and fire in their eyes.
There's the chapter. Hope you liked it.
