AN: Omg I'm so sorry for taking long with this one, I had a crazy couple of days that deprived me from my computer and I'm so sorry fans. But schools officially over and I will be able to devote more time to this story and update update update. Enough of me .. on with the story!

I own nothing!

The car ride home from Chilton had been quiet. Rory was too tired from the extensive 40 minutes of exercise she had to do, so she ended up falling asleep, but when she got home with Tristan her mom bombarded them with questions that she wasn't too up to answering, so Tristan did most of the talking.

"…and so Logan pays the guy 50 bucks so he could have the spot!" Tristan said laughing. Lorelai cackled with glee at the success her adjustments had made.

"Wait what happened?" Rory asked as soon as Logan was mentioned.

"Aw what my little girl too busy thinking about the new gorgeous blonde boy in her life to listen?" Lorelai teased. Tristan cleared his throat. "Oh sorry, second gorgeous blonde boy in her life," Lorelai corrected.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Rory replied, feeling like she was lying to both herself and her mother, "but we have to go, we have homework to do."

"Wait I have to talk to you two," Lorelai said seriously to the two.

"Aww come on Lorelai, we got the birds and bees talk a long time ago," Tristan whined.

"Well you can never learn about sex too much," Lorelai replied grinning evilly.

"Ew ok leaving!" Rory exclaimed covering her ears.

"No wait! Ok seriously, I'm sorry but we can't get out of this one. Your grandparents, all four sets, the Hayden's, Gilmore's, Dugrey's, and Packard's have collaborated and decided to throw you a big 'Welcome to Adulthood party' since you're starting your senior year. They're inviting all their snooty tooty friends and their kids, so be prepared to meet people noses so high up in the air that you're looking them straight in the neck. The Hayden's inherited the Hollenzalen Manor, so they're using it for the party. I've tried my hardest to get us all out of this but there's no way. But me, Chris, Liz, and Eric will be there making it fun I promise," Lorelai rambled.

Rory and Tristan simply nodded along with her both already nervous. "Uh, when is it?" Tristan asked with a cracked voice.

"Sat –cough- ur –cough –day," Lorelai mumbled.

"What?" Rory inquired.

"Saturday.." Lorelai said sadly.

"Oh my god I need a dress!" Rory said extremely nervous.

"Well here's a nifty idea, why don't I give you and Tristan my pretty black credit card, and you two can go shopping together in Hartford for a dress and matching suit?" Lorelai said happily, hoping this method would cheer them up.

"Sounds good Lorelai, thanks we'll go after school on tomorrow," Tristan said.

The next day, Rory and Tristan entered a school that was abuzz with news of some big party. Rory and Tristan just shook it off thinking it was nothing. They entered their corridor and saw Logan, Stephanie, Colin, Finn, and Madeline all looking miserable.

"What the matter guys?" Rory asked concerned, she had never seen any of them like this, even though she had only known them from one day. Rory went and stood next to Logan, which caused him to look up at her and give her a weak smile. Rory smiled back but was still concerned about all her friends.

"You know that party everyone's talking about love?" Finn said as he snaking his arm around her waist from behind and put his head on her shoulder.

"Yeah what about it?" Tristan asked curiously. No way it can be our party.

"Well the people throwing it are really close to our parents and so they expect our parents to attend, as well as all of us," Stephanie said grimly. Colin put an arm around her shoulders and she leaned against him.

"Oh well, who's throwing it?" Rory asked while patting Finn's head trying to comfort him. Geez these people know how to over react about a party really well.

"We don't know we sent Louise to find some stuff out," Logan replied looking the worst out of all 6 of them.

Rory released herself from Finn's grasp and starting sticking her tongue out at Logan while crossing her eyes and scrunching up her nose. Logan looked at her confused along with everyone else.

"Oh come on!" Rory said touching Logan's sides trying to find a ticklish spot. Both of them ignored the sparks that ran through both of their bodies with each touch. Logan just stood there smiling weakly at her enjoying the contact. "Ok fine not ticklish!" Rory said.

Rory walked away and disappeared for a second. They all wondered where she went but were too tired to look. All of a sudden they saw her sneak up behind Tristan. They saw her two small hands grab each side of Tristan's pants and before Tristan could react his pants were being pulled down leaving him in his pink playboy bunny boxers. The group erupted in laughter and Tristan quickly pulled his pants up. "You're so lucky I wasn't wearing my tighty whiteys today Pinky!" Tristan yelled as she ran to her place next to Logan.

Rory just smiled, "Aw come on Trissy you know I had to cheer these poor souls up, especially my Logie Bear!" Rory said playfully while wrapping her arms around Logan. At this point, Rory was just looking for excuses to touch Logan. Logan accepted her hug and pulled her into him, wrapping his arms around her and not letting go, he was enjoying this and so was she.

The group except Logan and Tristan erupted in laughter again. "Did she said Trissy and Logie Bear?" Stephanie said through her laughter. Both Logan and Tristan's faces paled after realizing what she had said. "Don't get used to calling us that Rory," Logan said still holding on to her.

Louise appeared at the end of the hall and they all looked at her curiously, with Rory and Tristan looking nervous. Louise reached the group and began, "Alright…" she stopped as soon as she started and asked, "Whoa wait did I miss something?" She was looking at Logan and Rory with their arms wrapped around each other. Logan and Rory quickly jumped apart both blushing profusely. Smirks graced the mouths of the other 6 and Louise mouthed to Rory, "We'll talk later."

"Anyways," Louise continued, "I found out all about the party. It's for these two best friends. They're in their senior year and their super rich grandparents want to throw them a welcome to adulthood party and apparently are inviting anyone who's anyone in High Society."

"Great sounds like a big old love fest," Logan said. None of them noticed the nervous looks being exchanged between Rory and Tristan.

"I don't see what the big deal is with going to a party," Rory said feeling a little defensive. It was her party after all that these people were bad mouthing.

"It's not the party love, it's spending time with our parents that gets us like this," Finn replied.

"What do you mean?" Tristan asked. My parents are great what's wrong with theirs?

"You two wouldn't understand," Stephanie said, "you guys have parents who love you for you and that's all. You have parents that give you a choice on what you want to do and are happy and supportive with what you choose, but we don't have such luck."

"Our futures have been chosen for us since birth, and if we defy that whatsoever, it's straight to Military School or a cut off from our trust funds," Logan said sadly. All of them stood looking at the ground sadly.

"Hey Rory, do your parents ever tell you they love you?" Madeline asked suddenly.

"Yeah all the time, why?" Rory asked puzzled.

"Consider your self lucky," Colin said.

They're amiable conversation had quickly changed to a serious one where Rory and Tristan were getting a better look at these people. Rory and Tristan saw it in their eyes. They weren't rich assholes who tried to get their way in everything, they were just teens trying to enjoy life while they still had a chance. Rory glanced at Logan and saw something in his eyes she had never seen before, innocence. She saw that he was hurting. Rory didn't know what came over her, but she intertwined her fingers with his, feeling jolts run through her body. Logan looked her in the eyes with question and she just smiled.

"That smile can make anything better," thought Logan as Rory rubbed his hand with her thumb.

After a couple moments of silence, Louise spoke up again, "I found the girl's name that the party's being thrown for, her friend's a guy and no one seems to know his first name."

"What's the girls name?" Logan asked.

"Lorelai Leigh Gilmore-Hayden the 3rd," Louise said in the best British accent she could muster up. Rory's face paled and she stiffened sending Tristan worried looks. Tristan mirrored the looks.

"Whoa, those are two pretty big names," Stephanie said.

"Yeah who ever she is, she's richer than us… way richer," Colin said bitterly.

"Yeah her grand parents, Richard and Emily Gilmore and Strobe and Francine Hayden, are throwing the party with her best friends' grandparents. I think their names were Arnold and Eliza Dugrey along with Channing and Violete Packard. The party's at the Hollenzallen Manor, which supposedly the Hayden's own because they're related to them."

"Wow those are all really big names" Colin said envious, he was always the most materialistic of the group.

"Let's hope Miss. Hayden is a hottie mates," Finn said wiggling his eyebrows.

"Hey Rory, Tristan why don't you come along with us, I'm sure our parents won't mind if we bring guests," Stephanie suggested, ignoring Finn's usual comment.

"Uhh... Well uhh..." Tristan stuttered.

"Well, um we can't you see we have plans," Rory replied equally nervously as the bell rang. "Oh no the bell! Time to go!" Rory said quickly letting go of Logan's hand and running for homeroom with Tristan close behind.

"What's with them?" Louise asked as they looked after them.

"No clue…" Logan replied dreamily examining his hand. He was already missing the warmth he felt from Rory's hand and the tingles running up and down his arm. Louise watched him, she noticed that the two were holding hands and knew there was something there.

The rest of the day it seemed to the 6 that Rory and Tristan were avoiding them, they seemed very intent on paying attention to class, or on a book they would be holding, or at the ground. During lunch they had excused themselves early saying they weren't hungry, and now at dismissal time they jumped into Tristan's BMW and raced off without a look back or a wave goodbye.
Rory and Tristan had tried their best to avoid their new friends, but they had made it very obvious. They just couldn't sit and talk to their friends and lie about the party or pretend they didn't know the truth. After school, they had left without saying goodbye and with guilty feelings in their gut. They had to put that behind them though, the truth would come out very soon.
Rory and Tristan reached the Hartford plaza to go dress and suit shopping. Before doing anything though, Rory insisted on getting coffee from the nearby café and Tristan had no choice but to comply, he had promised her free coffee for the year after all. The two took a secluded booth in the corner of the café so they could talk about their day.

"You like him… a lot…a lot …a lot," Tristan stated.

"Who?" Rory asked innocently.

"You want Logan Huntzburger, and don't lie to yourself or me or I'm cutting you off from free coffee," Tristan said threateningly.

Rory sighed, "I don't know Tristan. I don't even know him that well I mean he seems nice, when he's not being cocky but I'm just…"

"Scared that he's going to leave just like Austin did," Tristan finished.

Rory looked at him surprised but then covered it up quickly, "I don't know what you're talking about Tristan."

"Rory please don't give me that. I know that when you cry every time they leave it's not because of the fact that you're going to miss them, it's because of the fact that you and Austin had something before he left, but when he moved he decided it wouldn't work, and you agreed even though it's not what you wanted," Tristan said exactly on point.

"How did you know all of that?" Rory asked astonished. Rory hadn't told anyone about her and Austin's relationship with the exception of her mom. She was scared to tell Tristan because she knew that if Austin ever hurt her, which he did by moving, that Tristan would hurt him and their friendship would be ruined.

"Rory come on I know you like the back of my hand, it's not that hard to read you," Tristan said, "just like I'm reading you now and you're saying I like Logan but I'm too scared."

"Tris, just drop it please, I'm not ready for it yet."

"Alright. For now."

The two sat in silence when they heard a familiar Australian voice fill the room. "Aye mates lets get that booth right there!"

The two heard a shuffle in the booth behind them and a perky voice call, "Oh waitress!"

Another girly voice spoke, "So Logan, what's up with you and Rory?"

Irony sucks Tristan and Rory thought.
