Author's Note – Hey I just realized how long it has been since I updated and when I actually started writing this story and all I have to say is, I am so so so sorry. I won't bore you with reasons why I haven't updated. Except one, I had a hug writer's block.

ABOUT THE STORY (PLEASE READ!!!!!!!)- It's the summer first of all. Ok there are three different schools in Stars Hollow. Stars Hollow Elementary (k-6th), Stars Hollow Middle School (7th – 8th), and Stars Hollow High (9th -12th). Will is about to go into the 7th grade and Alexis will be going into the 6th grade when fall comes around. Also I forgot which city Jimmy lived in so I took a guess.

Chapter Seven- Alexis meet the gang

Luke's Diner

The whole diner was silent again just like they had been yesterday. "Hey Rory." Was all that Jess said and Rory went to sit down at the counter next to Will who was playing with his PSP. "Hey Luke, can I have a coffee to go please?" Rory said.

"Yeah, sure." Luke said pouring coffee into a large Styrofoam cup that said, 'Luke's on it.

"Later." Rory said and left the diner. Everyone else was still quiet in the diner.

Alex turned to Will and said, "These people need to seriously get their own lives." Will laughed a little and Luke glared at everyone in the diner and things returned back to normal hustle and bustle.

A little while later the crowd had left and they were in the middle of a lull. Jess was standing behind the counter across from Alexis and William. "Hey you getting bored kid?" Jess asked.

"Yeah I already finished my book a while ago."

"Hey we can go hang out with a few of my friends from school, down at the field if you want." Will suggested. Alex smiled at this idea.

"Yeah that would be fun, can I go dad?" she asked looking at Jess.

"Sure just be back in a little while." Was his reply.

"Ok cool."

"Hey dad, me and Alex are going to go to the field to hang out with some friends ok?" Will called into the back toward the kitchen.

"Ok be back in a while." Luke said. "K, let's go." Will said to Alex. Will said and started heading for the door with Alex in tow.

"Take your jacket." Jess said pointing to Alex. She sighed and grabbed her jacket and both her and Will left the diner and headed towards the Stars Hollow Middle School, field.

Stars Hollow Middle School field

As they got near to the field they saw a group of people playing a ball game. "What if they don't like me?" Alex asked. Will just turned to look at her and said, "Don't worry they will." Will smiled and it made Alex feel better considering that back in California it was hard for her to make friends with people.

"Ok, I'm here now let's start the real baseball game!" Will yelled while smiling. There were 4 guys.

'What's up Danes?' and 'Where've you been lately' was their response as they all walked over to them.

Hey guys, I want you to meet my cousin Alexis. Alexis, that's Kevin McAdams, Mitchell Hillman, his brother Robert Hillman and Nick Forrester." Will said while pointing to each boy as he said there names. Kevin had red shaggy hair, green eyes he was taller than the rest of them, Mark and Robert were twins both had dark brown spiked hair with brown eyes, and Nick had a light brown shade of shaggy hair and a mix of brown and green eyes. He was almost a tall as Kevin.

"Hey…" Alexis said in a shy timid voice.

"Hey, you new here?" Kevin asked.

"Yeah, I just moved here from California." Alexis said and looked at everyone.

"Aw cool California did you meet any superstars while you lived there?" Mark asked with extreme interest.

"Nope, we lived in Venice Beach, me and my dad."

"What about your …" Mark was about to say but Will knew what he was going to say and he knew Alex was already uncomfortable as it was.

"Hey let's start playing shall we?" Will asked.

"Yeah come on let's get this game started. Hey for once we will have an even amount of players." Nick said.

"Oh, uh I think I'll just sit and watch. I'm not that good at baseball." Alexis said slowly backing up towards the dug out while shaking her head. She just made some new friends and she didn't want to embarrass herself in front of them.

"Oh come on if you're related to Danes here you are bound to have some talent, maybe you just don't know it." Mark said while smiling.

"Come on Alex, play with us." Will said.

"Fine, but you can't make fun of me." Alex said, "So whose team am I on?"

"Our's" both Will and Nick said then looked at each other. "She's on my team."

"How come?" Mark asked he was on Nick's team so was Robert. Kevin was always on Will's.

"Because she is my cousin. Plus we are always a player short." Will said.

"Fine, hey look here come the rest." Nick said and pointed behind the rest of them, about 7 other people came up to them. After everyone was introduced to Alexis the game began.
