A.N : Hi all.. well thank you for the reviews that I got for the last chapter. I hope you all enjoyed. I'm updating for the few that reviewed, so if you're reading and you didn't review please if you can try to because if i keep getting 6 reviews per chapter I'm gonna think no one likes it and give up! I know i just realized that i had Anonymous Reviews disabled but I fixed that now. Oh and just to let you all know, I have finals coming up, one of the many perks of being a high school student. Finals are June 7 (my birthday, perfect timing i know)- June 9 so those nights i will be studying instead of writing. But I will be trying my hardest to write out as manychapters before then and go online real quick to update my stories those nights, but if I don't get a chance then I apologize and I'll updeate twice in one day after finals! On with the story!

"Coffee…I need…coffee," mumbled Rory as she hit her mooing bedside alarm clock. To say Rory wasn't a morning person was an understatement. Everyone in town knew that there was no way to get this girl out of bed without a strong cup of coffee and some type of sweet pastry in the morning. Rory was now at her 3rd attempt of getting up off of her stomach and heading downstairs, only to fall, face down, into her bed once more.

She was about to drift back to sleep when the sing-song voice of her mother filled the air, "Fruit of my loins! My gift after 26 hours of pain! Mini-me! It's time to rise and shine for your very first day as a private school girl!"

"Go away and come back with coffee unless you want me to go Grudge girl on you," said Rory grumpily.

"Now, now, no need to get snippy with mommy, you'll get your coffee after you get all ready in your cute little school girl outfit. I made some alterations to it, you know get more of the Britney Spears affect to it, make them want to 'hit you baby one more time'," Lorelai said as she reached into Rory's closet and pulled out a short blue and white plaid skirt and a shirt with rolled up sleeves and a popped collar, "Look mommy even had the maid starch the collar and sew the sleeves so they're permanently cuffed!"

"You're way to chipper this morning," Rory said as she opened one eye to look at her adjusted uniform. Her eyes widened at what her mother had did, sure she wasn't the shy about her body but what her mom did was way to pop singer for her. "Mom, are you expecting me walk out of class when the bell rings and grind against the lockers or something, because that is way to Britney for me!"

"Hey if a little 13 year old breakout artist can pull the look off, so can you. And as for the dancing, I think the whole locker thing is over done, what about a nice Shakira belly dance instead," her mom said laughing as she made her way out of the room. "You'd better hurry up or your coffee's going to get cold, and there's this gorgeous blonde boy waiting for you and I have no problem being his mistress and still be with your father at the same time."

"Ewww gross thought mom, too much for me this morning, and tell Tristan I'll be right there," said Rory as her mom slammed her door smirking in accomplishment of grossing out her daughter so early in the morning. Rory looked at the uniform and sighed to herself. Me as a private school girl, I wonder what Chilton has in store for me. Rory put on her adjusted uniform, put her hair in a messy bun and applied some light make up, she was never really the one to make herself up to impress guys she had never met before. She grabbed her backpack and purse and braced herself for the upcoming school day.

Rory reached her kitchen and found her mom and dad in an animated conversation with her best friend Tristan Dugrey. Tristan turned to Rory and eyed her up and down, something she was used to him doing to every girl that he had ever met.

"Well, well, now I know that can't be my Rory because my Rory doesn't dress like she's going to a pop star look alike contest," Tristan remarked with his trademark smirk in place.

Rory glared at Tristan playfully before going up to him and giving him a good morning kiss on the cheek, it was something they did whenever they saw each other, another one of the things that made them look like more than friends. "I told my mom that it was way too Britney for me, but of course she's set on making my life horrible," Rory said in a dramatic tone.

"Oh don't give me that Rory; this uniform will have all the rich boys of Chilton lining up in hopes of being your next boy toy," Lorelai rambled, "and hopefully you won't forget to mention to them about you dazzling mother who put it together for you and who gets lonely on all those nights when your father is on one of his trips." This comment left Rory with a disgusted look on her face and Tristan and Christopher with their eyebrows raised in suspicion. Lorelai simply began to crack up closely followed by Rory. "Hey just cause a woman's married doesn't mean she can't dream," Lorelai said after calming down.

"Lore, you know that I'm the only one in your dreams," Chris said playfully as he grabbed her hand and pulled her in for a kiss.

"And that would be our cue to leave! Bye mom, bye dad, love you!" Rory said as she kissed each on the cheek, but she wouldn't be getting away that easy. As she was pulling away from her mother, Lorelai grabbed her and pulled her into a big bear hug with tears in her eyes. "I can't believe my little girl is a senior in High School and is going to a school that's farther than within walking distance! Be careful, have fun, and don't do anything mommy wouldn't do. I love you," Lorelai whispered in her ear.

"I love you too mommy, and I will be careful and as for not doing anything you wouldn't do? Aw shucks! And here I was looking forward to making out with random guys in the bathroom!" Rory said smiling and pulling away from her mother. "I'll be home at 3 byes you two," Rory waved and grabbed Tristan's hand while walking out the door.

"I'll take care of your baby Lorelai; after all she's my baby too!" Tristan yelled jokingly as they walked out the door.

"Hey I'm not a baby! I am a grown young woman; I mean look at me there is no way you can call me a baby!" Rory said with bitterness in her voice.

"Calm down babe you know I'm just kidding," Tristan said smirking at her, "and no I can definitely say that you do not look like a baby, did I mention you look gorgeous today Pinky?" Tristan asked, using her childhood given nickname.

"No I believe you failed to mention that Trissy, you look handsome yourself," Rory said smirking as they got in the car. She was cherishing the cringe Tristan reacted with in using his nickname Trissy. As the 'You are now leaving Stars Hollow' sign passed Tristan's red BMW's window, Rory couldn't help but reminisce on how they had acquired their nicknames.

10 Year old Rory walked into the first day of school in a cute pink ensemble she had put together herself just for the occasion. She took her seat in her class room and began reading one of the books she had in her backpack (even then she was a bookworm). She was for the moment oblivious to the world until she looked up when she heard loud talking and saw 3 cute boys walk in the door. The blonde one of the three smiled at her and she couldn't help but blush, but unfortunately this didn't go unnoticed by the other two boys that accompanied the blonde. The brunette of the other two boys said loudly enough so Rory could hear, "Hey Tristan look at that girl she looks like a Pepto-Bismol bottle, she's all pink, even her face!" This comment only made Rory blush more and start to feel tears burning in her eyes.

The boy named Tristan has seen the girl when he walked in and thought she was cute to say the least. Maybe it was her eyes, heck he didn't know he was only in 5th grade! When he smiled at her she smiled back and blushed, and he was enjoying the eye contact until his 'best friends' had to but in. He saw the look on her face after the comment and felt the need to stand up for her. "Shut up guys, leave her alone she seems nice!" he yelled at his friends. His friends only looked at him for a second before Austin, the brunette once again said, "What's with you sticking up for a girl? Is Tristan turning into a girly man! TRISSY SISSY!"

Rory had over heard this and was not going to let them talk to this boy like that, she was shy when it came to boys, but she never hesitated to help someone when they needed it. Rory mustered all of the confidence it took and tapped Austin on the shoulder. "Is there a problem here?" she asked. The other boy Matt once again answered, "It's none of you business you stupid ... PINK FACED pinky!"

Rory ignored the second comment and said in her most confident tone,"Oh but it is, because he's my friend and I won't let you talk to him like that!"

"Oh really, so what are you going to do about it then huh PINKY?" yelled the boy

"I'M GONNA TELL THE TEACHER THAT'S WHAT!" Rory screamed as she headed towards the door. The whole time Tristan sat watching on with a goofy smile on his face laughing at the fact his macho friends were being told off by this cute girl he had just met. Austin's and Matt's faces drained of all its color as Austin panicked. "WAIT IM SORRY I TAKE IT BACK I'LL DO ANYTHING YOU WANT!" Rory simply turned and smiled at him and said, "Well you can go buy me milk in the cafeteria, come with us Trissy?"

"The name's Tristan and sure I'll come, Pinky," he said with a smirk.

And there started the friendship of Lorelai Leigh Gilmore-Hayden and Tristan Matthew Hewlett-Dugrey and the end of Rory's 10 year shy streak with boys.
