AN: Hehe sorry kinda forgot to update. Don't hate me! Thanks again for the great reviews. In the chapter I accidentally said that Lorelai's middle name was Leigh but then people reminded me it's Victoria, but just to keep things consistent, in my story it's Leigh. Also, I realized I messed up the spelling of Colin's last name and Straub's name but we'll keep it McRae and Strobe haha sorry about that. K chapter! Not my best work, next one will be good though with the promise of drama!

I own none of the songs, movies mentioned, or characters mentioned in this chapter or story.

Italics are thoughts and parts of the movie.

"Thanks for the stories Rory, we can hold those against Tristan forever," said Stephanie walking into Tristan's kitchen to sit next to her at the island.

"No problem Steph, teaches him not to give away my underwear," Rory said with a giggle.

"I'm wondering if I should be concerned that Tristan handles your underwear," joked Louise to Rory.

Rory smirked, "Don't worry, I don't have feelings for your boy friend what so ever. We're just best friends, just like I told Logan."

Louise blushed at her comment while Madeline and Stephanie snickered. "He's not my boyfriend Rory, I'm only going to Homecoming with him."

"Alright, that's why you two practically fell asleep on top of each other last night… makes total sense!" Rory said.

"Hey that's not fair, Stephanie woke up wrapped in Colin's arms and you don't give her any heat!" argued Louise.

"Leave me out of this!" Stephanie countered, but it was too late, Rory's attention was already caught.

"Why don't you two just get together already, then everyone will be paired up. Maddie you'll just have to snag Finn," Rory said trying to pair up the whole group.

Madeline smiled but denied Rory's plan, "Sorry Rory but I don't like Finny like that, and he's more of a brother type for me. I'm going to homecoming with Jeremy!"

"He's definitely a cutie. I guess everything can't work out perfectly in pairing up the group. Oh well there's still you two!" Rory said smiling at Louise and Stephanie.

The two just rolled their eyes and Stephanie changed the subject. "Are things with you and Logan alright? I mean, he's treating you good I hope?"

"Of course he is Steph, Logan worships the group she walks on. He's practically in love with her," Louise said in a teasing tone trying to get back at Rory for mocking her and Tristan's newly forming relationship. Rory immediately blushed. Love… don't go there yet.

The girls just giggled at this as Rory pushed herself out of the chair to get some more coffee and try to ignore the funny feelings she was getting when they told her those words. It can't be love. It's way too early to tell. But then a small voice in her voice whispered, "Liar, liar, pants of fire."

Rory was pulled out of her thoughts when a noisy Australian entered the room humming some random tune. He gave a kiss to each of the girls at the island and went over to Rory, lazily throwing his arm around his shoulder.

"Hi love," he said sending her a bright smile and giving her a peck on the cheek.

"Morning Finn, isn't a little too early for you?"

"Well love, I didn't drink last night and I'm starting to experience the wonders of the morning. Just this morning I looked out the window and you know what I saw?" Finn didn't wait for an answer. "I saw three little cute birdies in the tree next to Tristan's window, cute little birdies!" he exclaimed. All the girls raised their eyebrows at him.

"Finn darling are you feeling alright?" asked Louise from the island.

Before Finn could come up with a lie Logan came running into the kitchen, "Finn give me back Rory's underwear right now!" he yelled while running towards Finn. Finn just gave a big smile to Rory while the girls laughed.

"How did you get my underwear?" Rory asked confused.

"He found all the underwear that Tristan keeps for you in his closet and decided that he wanted a remembrance of you too," said Logan pushing Finn away from Rory and sticking his hand out. Finn sighed and placed two pairs of lace bikini style underwear in Logan's hand.

Logan just took them and stuffed them into his pocket.

"Excuse me what do you think you're going to do with those?" Rory asked with her eyebrows raised. Logan just winked at her and wrapped his arms around her waist while kissing her hard on the mouth. "Good morning Rory," he said after the kiss. "Good morning Logan," she replied kissing him again. The kiss was getting deeper and deeper but the two pulled apart when they heard Finn and Tristan making gagging noises.

"Ruin our fun!" Rory said to them as they smirked. Logan took a seat at the kitchen table and pulled Rory into his lap with his arm around her waist.

"So what's the plan for today Tris?" she asked while kissing Logan's cheek.

"Well the festival starts around 5 and right now it's 12 so it's up to you guys what you want to do."

The 8 sat in silence as if contemplation, all of them drawing a blank. Luckily, a perky voice saved them from over thinking.

"My dear children where art thou!" said the approaching voice of Lorelai.

"Wait Lorelai, maybe we shouldn't go in there, what if they're naked!" said Elizabeth stupidly, even though she was an adult she had her blonde moments. Rory and Tristan just rolled their eyes while the other six just snickered.

"Yes Liz, because their all in your kitchen naked having a giant orgy, seniors do it all the time now!" Lorelai said with sarcasm causing Rory and Tristan look disgusted and the rest to laugh.

Lorelai and Liz walked in and smiled at the group, "Hi!" they both exclaimed.

"Hi loves," said Finn being the gentleman and kissing both of their cheeks.

"Rory can we keep him!" Lorelai exclaimed before looking over at Rory with hopefulness in her eyes.

"Yes but then where would he stay, the British boy is already taking up the guestroom," said Rory playing along.

"Oh you can keep him here! I'm tired of the Ecuadorian boy I have in my closet anyways!" Liz exclaimed.

The group just looked at the three women like they were crazy while the three of them erupted in laughter. The group sent questioning looks to Tristan, waiting for an explanation, but he just shook his head. "Don't even bother. There's no logic to their banter, you just get used to it and if you're lucky they don't include you as one of their sick subjects."

The group just shrugged and the three smiled innocently at Tristan's explanation.

"What are you kiddos doing before the festival?" Lorelai asked.

"We don't know, we've been sitting here trying to figure that out," said Stephanie.

"I think it's time to break out the prank and diary videos then," Liz said with a wink to Lorelai.

"Prank and diary videos?" Colin asked curiously.

"NO!" both Tristan and Rory screamed jumping up and standing in front of their mothers.

"Now children, there's nothing to be embarrassed about!" Lorelai said with an evil smile.

"Don't do this mom," whined Tristan.

"It's either those videos or the videos of both of your births!" Liz threatened. The group shared a scared look, they so did not want to see that.

"Alright fine," Rory said conquered, "We couldn't of done anything or said anything that embarrasing, and anyways what's passed is past right?" she said directing the question to Tristan.

"Yeah I guess, I don't even remember what happened in most of them," said Tristan uneasily.

With that said, the group made their to the entertainment room. Rory walked there with Logan's hand interlaced with hers. "Don't worry babe, I'm sure you didn't say or do anything too incriminating," he said assuring her and kissing her hand, her only reply was a weak nervous smile.

The group walked into the room to find Lorelai pulling out an assortment of junk food from the drawers located at the side wall of the mini theater while Liz was using a key to open a drawer hidden by the projector screen and pulling out several tapes.

"That's where they put them!" Rory whispered to Tristan.

"I told you we should've checked for hollow walls!" Tristan replied as the two watched Liz.

"Care to share what you two are whispering about?" said the ever curious Colin.

"Back in 8th grade, me and Tristan tried looking for the tapes, so they couldn't use them against us. We looked everywhere in the house and even called the local bank to see if they would grant us access into our parents Safety Deposit box, and we never found it," Rory explained. The group just laughed at them, wondering what was on these tapes that made them want to find them. Their questions would soon be answered, because Lorelai popped the first tape into the multipurpose projector and a younger Rory was lit up on the screen.

"We're starting with their 5th grade video diary and then the rest are prank footage," Lorelai said from behind them, taking a seat and popping M&M's into her mouth.

The group quickly took their seats to watch what the videos. All of them were seated on the floor instead of the movie style seats, wanting to be close to the projector and they all watched intently, with Rory and Tristan shooting each other nervous glances.

"Ok girlie, state the name and the age," said Lorelai's voice.

On the screen was a younger Rory, still with her porcelain skin and bright blue eyes.

"Mom do we really have to do this? Me, Tristan, Matt, and Austin have a lot of homework to do!"

"Yes Rory now go! Holding up this camera is tiring and you know how mom feels about exercise," Lorelai said.

Rory sighed, "Hi I'm Lorelai Leigh Gilmore-Hayden the 3rd and I'm 10 years old."

"Who are your best friends?"

"Tristan, Austin, and Matthew," Rory said in a matter of fact way.

"Do you like any boys at the moment?"

Rory visibly blushed, "Mom, do I have to answer that?"

"Aw come on, no one's going to ever see this!" Lorelai promised.

"You lied!" Rory yelled at her mother who just gave her an innocent smile that the group laughed at.

"Well… I like Tristan," Rory said.

Rory looked over at a very smug looking Tristan, "Don't give me that look Tristan!" Rory yelled.

"Still irresistible at the age of 10!" Tristan said while popping the collar of his polo in a nonchalant way. Rory just rolled her eyes.

"Ok tell me one big secret of the year," said Lorelai. Rory once again looked at her hands unsure of what to answer.

"Tristan kissed me for my birthday," Rory said with a blush evading her face.

"Looks like I was the irresistible one!" Rory said sticking out her tongue out at Tristan. Logan laughed at how his girlfriend was acting. He wasn't at all worried about the two, after all it was his chest she was leaning against and his legs she was sitting in between, not Tristan's.

Now Tristan's face took the screen and Liz's voice spoke, "Alright, state the name and age!"

Tristan didn't put up a fight like Rory, just rolled his eyes with obvious attitude, "Tristan Theodore Packard Dugrey, age 10."

"Who are your best friends?"

His face lit up with a goofy smile, "Rory, Matt, and Austin."

"What's with the smile kid?"

"Nothing," he replied cryptically.

"Alright so tell mommy who the lucky girl is that you like."

Tristan's smile was wiped off and replaced with a feigned disgusted look, "Girls are gross. I don't like them."

"Sweetheart, in case you didn't notice Rory is one of your best friends and she's a girl and don't think I didn't see that kiss you gave her on her birthday," said Liz.

Tristan looked down, "Ok maybe I like Rory… a little."

"Better, now give me a secret."

"Me, Matt, and Austin beat up this kid that said Rory looked nice today!" Tristan said with his trademark cocky smirk.

"What, why!" Liz asked surprised.

"Because he can't be friends with Rory. Everyone knows the only boys allowed to talk to Rory are us!" Tristan exclaimed before getting off his chair, "Bye mom, the basketball game's on!"

The tape came to a stop and Rory had a very self-righteous smile on her face while looking at Tristan. "Ha!" was all she said to Tristan. Tristan just glared at her and said, "Whatever!"

"Very nice comeback Tristan," Lorelai said from behind them in one of the seats. "Now to the more interesting stuff," Liz announced. Both Rory and Tristan's nerves started up again and Lorelai let out a cackle putting another video into the machine.

Lorelai, Liz, Chris, and Eric came onto the screen.

"Hi, it's me! Lorelai and if you're watching this, it probably means that we want to torture are kids and embarrass the hell out of them!" said a perky Lorelai.

"Lorelai, that's mean," Chris reasoned.

"Your point?" Lorelai asked. Chris just shook his head and said to the camera, "Rory, Tristan this was all your mothers' ideas, so don't hold this against me or Eric!"

Rory and Tristan smiled but sent glares to their mothers who just threw popcorn at them and told them to turn around and pay attention.

"You two are chickens," Liz said annoyed, "Anyways, last night Rory and Tristan came home with tattoos, and they are currently juniors which means they forged our signatures! So we're thinking revenge. We had them watch all 3 Scream's with us last night and both of them are asleep in Tristan's room right now. So of course, we're going to scare the crap out of them!" While Liz was saying this, Lorelai was seen throwing Scream costumes at Eric and Chris and telling them to put them on. "Enjoy the show kiddos that we're using to embarrass Tristan and Rory!" yelled Lorelai to the camera.

The camera went blank for a minute and then a view of Tristan's bed with the curtains closed was see. The person holding the camera went closer to the bed and slowly opened one of the curtains. Inside, was a shirtless Tristan and Rory in short shorts and a tank top with her arm and leg on top of Tristan while Tristan had his arm around her shoulders. "Aww look how cute," whispered the voice of Lorelai on tape.

"Lorelai, Liz, you let Rory and Tristan sleep like that together?" asked Louise amazed.

Liz shrugged, "Those two are attached by the hip, and we trust them. Besides they used to shower together so what's sleeping with each other?"

Rory and Tristan were paying attention to the movie while the other 6 of them looked at them astonished. They had never met two kids who were as close as them, the group them self wasn't even that close. Logan started feeling familiar pangs of jealousy in his stomach, but it was as if Rory could read his mind because she turned and planted a kiss on his cheek. "You're my boyfriend," she whispered, and that was all it took for Logan to relax and get back to the video.

The camera was then positioned on a table adjacent to Tristan's bed and Eric and Chris walked in with their black costumes, Scream masks, and knives. Lorelai and Liz carefully opened the curtains at the foot Tristan's bed so Rory and Tristan could be seen. Lorelai and Liz then silently giggled and hid in the dark corner of the room.

Once they were hidden, Chris and Eric took their places on each side of the bed and abruptly tore open the side curtains of the bed, making a noise that was enough to wake Tristan but not Rory the heavy sleeper. Both Chris and Eric started moved their arms with the knives to make it look as if they were going to stab the two.

Tristan, being slow in the morning, took a while to process what was happening. He wiped his eyes and stretched, still not waking Rory and looked around. When he finally realized, he screamed like a little girl and threw the covers over him and Rory.

"Very nice mate, scream like a sissy and cover yourself with blankets, you should teach a self defense class!" Finn joked as Tristan threw popcorn at him.

Chris and Eric simply pulled the blanket off the bed to reveal a wide eyed sweating Tristan in boxers and a still sleeping Rory. "Uh Rory," Tristan said shaking her sleeping body, "Rory I think you should wake up!" he yelled very nervously.

"Go away unless you have coffee you asshole," Rory yelled.

The group erupted in laughter, "Hayden, you're more dangerous than the Scream guys," chuckled Colin. Rory just smiled, she had to admit she was.

"Uh Rory, we're about to die and all you can think about is coffee!" squeaked Tristan.

"You're about to die if you don't give me coffee!" Rory exclaimed wiping her eyes. When she finally opened them and looked around before screaming her lungs out and kicking the Scream next to her, which happened to be her father, in the stomach and grabbing Tristan to run towards the door, but before they could Lorelai and Liz appeared on the screen doubling over in laughter. Rory and Tristan both visibly paled before stomping out of the room very angry and before slamming the door yelled, "We hate you!" The camera was then shut off by Chris with a pained looked on his face.

The group sat in silence for a while before pointing and laughing at Rory and Tristan. "You guys are so gullible!" howled Louise who was having trouble breathing.

Logan was cracking up before Rory sent him a glare that shut him up quickly. Lorelai and Liz noticed this and called out to him, "Hey Logan, that leash Rory got on you a little tight?" Lorelai said with a snicker. The group smirked while the couple looked embarrassed. Suddenly, the screen lit up once more with the face of Chris and Eric.

"Hi kids, if you're watching this then your mothers have succeeded in making you two look like fools, probably in a big group of people," said Chris.

"Well just so you get a little revenge, we taped something your mothers don't know we taped, it has to do with their obsession to the movie Moulin Rouge, enjoy it kiddos, we did it for you. Love you!" Eric Dugrey said. The camera went black for a while before the screen showed Lorelai and Liz in the same outfits that they had on from the night of Rory and Logan's date but they were holding hairbrushes to their mouths like microphones.

"NO!" Lorelai and Liz yelled and reached for the machine to turn it off, but Tristan quickly ran up and stopped them. "Now, now there's nothing to be embarrassed about," he said in a sickly sweet voice. The group just smirked and paid close attention to the movie.

"Are we Moulin Rouge enough?" Lorelai said looking in the mirror.

"Definitely," Liz replied pulling her hair up in high ponytail.

"Ok then hit it," Lorelai said to Liz. Liz then grabbed a remote that was on the vanity they were looking in and clicked a button that caused the tune to Lady Marmalade to start playing. Lorelai started singing:

Hey Sister, Go Sister, Soul Sister, Go Sister
Hey Sister, Go Sister, Soul Sister, Go Sister

All the while she was doing different poses in the mirror while singing into the hair brush, then Liz started:

He met Marmalade down in Old New Orleans
Struttin' her stuff on the street
She said "Hello,
Hey Joe, you wanna give it a go?"

Both of them were strutting around in front of the mirror and dancing, then both of them sang in unison:

'Mmm Hmmm Gitchi Gitchi Ya Ya Da Da
Gitchi Gitchi Ya Ya Here
Mocca chocolata Ya Ya
Creole Lady Marmalade

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?

Both Rory and Tristan covered their eyes while watching their mothers' exotic moves they were doing while watching themselves in the mirror. Finn at this point watched with the biggest smile and started clapping, singing along, and hooting.

The two continued to sing and dance along to the song, putting on pouts and dancing wilder and wilder:

Stayed in her pool while
Watch he crashing up
That boy drank all that night don't know why
Oh the last sight she went
He started to freak

Gitchi Gitchi Ya Ya Da Da
Gitchi Gitchi Ya Ya Here
Mocca chocalata Ya Ya
Creole Lady Marmalade

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?

It was now the part with the very high notes, and Lorelai got down on her knees and very dramatically, and badly, sang out the high notes while Liz danced around her singing the rest of the words:

Heh, Heh, Hehhhh
Seeing her skin feeling silky smooth
Colour of cafe au lait
Made the savage beast inside

Roaring till it cried More, More, More
Now he's at home doing 9 to 5
Living his brave life of lies
But when he turns off to sleep

All memories keep More, More, More
Gitchi Gitchi Ya Ya Da Da Da
Gitchi Gitchi Ya Ya here
Mocca chocolata Ya Ya
Creole Lady Marmalade

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Voulez-vous couchez avec moi ce soir?

Creole Lady Marmalade

The two ended with a loud, "Whoo!" and a bow. "I think that should cover our Moulin Rouge need for the week right?" Lorelai said to Liz. "Yea!" Liz said and the two left the room acting like nothing happened.

Once the screen went blank, Lorelai and Liz sat slouched in their chairs and covered their faces with their hands. The rest of the group was laughing and Tristan and Rory had the biggest smirks known to man. Finn on the other hand went down on his knees and started hailing Lorelai and Liz.

"Bravo loves! Can I get a private performance later?" He said with a grin at them. The ladies just got up saying, "Your fathers are moving out!" and made their way to the phone to call their significant others while they were on their business trip.

"Seriously you two, your parents are the best parents in the world," Louise said, happy that she was friends with people that had parents like this.

Tristan and Rory just smiled. They knew it was true, they were the lucky rich kids who had both parents that loved each other and them. They couldn't help but feel pity towards their new friends, who never experienced love before. But they both knew, that with their help and the parents' the group would.

AN: Review, even if you hated it I just want to know what you think my dear readers!
