AN: Hi all! Thanks for all of the reviews and the guesses, those who got it right will get the special shout out at the bottom of the page so I don't ruin the surprise. But right now I'd like to do a special shoutout to Winny Foster who read my whole story in a day and reviewed more than one chapter in the process! Thanks so much for your support and the great reviews. This chapter is a little shorter and might seem rushed because it somehow got deleted both on my computer and I had to go through the the tedious task of rewriting it, i promise the next chapter is well written! On with the story!
I do not own any of the characters, places, or songs in this story. So basically, I own nothing.
"You cannot wear that!" Tristan yelled when he saw Rory's dress. Louise nudged him in the stomach and mumbled, "It's supposed to be a complement not an insult you dick!"
"I'm not letting her go to Homecoming like that! I don't want to be spending the whole time fighting off perverts!" Tristan yelled motioning to Rory who was trying to cover herself up with her arms.
Rory looked very sad when he was saying that stuff. She really started to like the dress but she was now proved that it was too revealing, Tristan noticed this. "Rory you really do look great, freaking amazing, but imagine how many guys are going to be practically eating you with their eyes."
"Get it," All three of the other girls quickly said. Rory smiled, "I don't know."
After 15 more minutes of encouraging words from Tristan (who had finally decided to allow her to wear it even though he really had no say in the first place), Madeline, Louise, and Stephanie, Rory finally agreed to buy the dress.
"You're sure about this right?" Rory asked right before she gave her credit card to the cashier.
"Yes!" all four of them screamed in unison and Rory sheepishly handed the woman her credit card.
After everyone had paid, the 5 walked out to the exit of the store. Rory was able to see the guys but realized there were two extra people there, a tall blonde girl and a taller black haired boy. She felt her blood boil as the girl gave Logan a kiss on the cheek. Rory shot Tristan a questioning look which he just mirrored. She turned to the other 3 girls and asked, "Who's that?" All of the girls froze and stood with glares and venom in their eyes. "It's her," Louise hissed, "Marissa." Rory and Tristan gasped and watched on.
Logan, Colin, and Finn were dying. Logan was desperately trying to shut Finn up who had turned to singing High School Musical songs, out of tune, to entertain himself. Colin was just about to push Finn over the railing they were leaning on when a familiar,unwelcome voice caught all of their attention.
"Colin, Finn, LOGAN!" squeaked the voice. All three turned wide-eyed to come face to face with a green eyed blonde that gave Logan a kiss on the cheek immediately.
"Hi, Marissa…" Logan said uneasily. Colin and Finn both shot her dirty looks while blinking back their disbelief. "How are you? I've missed you so much!" she said with a flip of her hair and a giggle. Logan just stared blankly at her. Who does she think she is just acting like nothing happened? When Logan didn't answer she turned to Colin and Finn who quickly ceased the face making and put on wide fake grins.
"Hey you two!" she exclaimed giving them kisses on the cheeks that they didn't return. "Hi," Colin said briefly.
" 'Ello mate, names Finn," Finn said addressing the uneasy looking taller guy that was with Marissa. The guy was about to answer when the girls and Tristan appeared next to Logan carrying dress bags.
"Hey babe, you find the perfect dress?" Logan said with an apologetic smile and a kiss on the cheek to Rory.
"Perfect might be pushing it," Rory said shyly. Out of the corner of her eyes she could see the tall black haired gorgeous boy that was with Marissa staring at her. He had a well toned body and bright green eyes, and Rory couldn't help but think he looked familiar. "More like amazingly gorgeous and fit for her," Louise said completely ignoring the fact that Marissa was there. Marissa sent an appraising look towards Rory and then a nasty one before running over to the three girls she was familiar with.
"Louise, Madeline, Stephanie!" Marissa said giving them all hugs, "It's me Marissa Banks!" she said in her high pitched voice.
"Oh it's so nice to see you again," Stephanie trying to be nice, but her comment came out completely unenthusiastic. Rory looked over to Tristan and nodded towards the guy that was standing there but before he could look Marissa spoke again. "Logan who are these two?" she asked pointing to Rory and Tristan.
"This is my girlfriend, and her best friend," Logan replied putting an arm behind Rory on the railing she was leaning on. Marissa just completely over looked Rory and turned to Tristan. "Well hello there," she said with a seductive smile on her face. "Hi," Tristan replied uninterested while putting his arm around Louise, who was glaring noticeably at her. "I'm Marissa, you are?"
Tristan was just about to answer when the boy that had been looking back and forth between Rory and Tristan spoke, "Rory Hayden and Tristan Dugrey?" he asked causing all of the heads to turn his way.
Rory and Tristan looked at him as if trying to piece together his voice before Rory pushed her self off the railing and squealed, "AIDEN DENNISON!" She quickly ran over to his open arms and gave him a big hug, wrapping her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist. He was laughing and planted a kiss on her cheek while spinning her around.
Logan was trying his hardest not to totally go jealous boyfriend while the other 5 in the group looked at them utterly befuddled. Marissa looked like she was seeing red as Logan's girlfriend put her hands on 'her man', even though it was more like her flavor of the week that didn't want to be her flavor of the week and rejected her.
The guy, whose name was apparently Aiden, put Rory down and turned to Tristan who had approached him and shook his hand while giving him a manly hug.
"What are you doing here?" the three all asked in unison before laughing. They hadn't seen each other since freshman year but it was like they were never separated.
"Hello esteemed students and welcome to the annual Diplomatic Conference in Washington D.C for national high school students. You are all here today because you demonstrate leadership skills and qualities that make you apt to represent our country now and in the future. This whole week, you will be going through several training sessions and meetings in which you will develop and share your skills and hopefully you leave with confidence that you have learned something new. Now before we can do anything, I ask all of you to split yourselves up into groups of three. You will spend majority of your time with this group and also share your hotel room with this group. Please split yourselves up now in a quick and orderly manner," said the congressman that was the proctor for the program.
"Group!" Rory yelled grabbing Tristan's arm that was next to her.
"Aw darn, and here I was hoping to be in the same group as that geeky kid that smells like cheese!" Tristan said feigning disappointment.
"We're going too if we don't find a 3rd person," Rory said seriously looking around desperately. All of a sudden, a muscular, amazingly hot, black haired, green eyed boy appeared in front of them with a sheepish smile on his face.
"Hi, I'm Aiden and I noticed you need an extra person and I don't have a group," he said with a shy smile.
Tristan was about to tell him to take a seat when Rory got up and smelled him. Tristan looked at her rolling his eyes while Aiden looked completely uncomfortable. "You smell good," Rory said taking her seat and motioning for him to sit.
"Uh thanks it's Axe?" he said sitting down cautiously.
"Sorry about the sniffer. I'm Tristan and this is my best friend Rory. We were just worried about getting someone who smelled like cheese," Tristan said shaking Aiden's hand.
"We're not big cheese scented fans," Rory whispered to him while also shaking his hand.
"Well that's good," Aiden said with a charming smile, "because I'm lactose and tolerant." The three laughed together and from there the ice was broken, starting a new friendship.
"My parents got sent overseas for a while, so they sent me to stay with Marissa's family. My parents and hers are best friends kind of like you two's parents. I've been attending Andover high," Aiden said with a weak smile. Both Rory and Tristan could tell that he didn't like the fact that he was staying with Marissa.
"What about you two?" he asked.
"We're homecoming shopping, we go to Chilton," Tristan explained. "Oh I almost forgot these are our friends," he started again but before he could Marissa cut him off tugging Aiden's arm. "Aiden let's go it's getting late," she said with a vicious look at Rory.
"I guess we'll just have to catch up another time. Do you still have our numbers?" Rory asked him. Rory still had his; she never erased anyone from her cell phone's phonebook.
"Here put it in just in case," Aiden said pulling out his cell phone from his pocket and allowing Rory and Tristan to enter in their numbers. Rory handed him back his phone with her and Tristan's numbers now inputted when Marissa spoke again in a more demanding voice, "Let's go Aiden, we'll be late for dinner!"
"I'll call you guys to hang out soon," he said as he and Tristan did the manly hug goodbye. "Yeah most definitely," Tristan said patting him on the back.
"Bye Rory," Aiden said looking down at Rory with a smile. "Bye Aiden," she said with a little pout before he picked her up again and she wrapped his arms around his neck, "Call soon or we'll track your down," she whispered in his ear before he put her down. "Always taking the initiative Hayden," he said with a smirk and a wink before being dragged off by a fuming Marissa. "Nice meeting you all, I hope to get to know you all better another time," Aiden called to the rest of the group.
Rory and Tristan watched his retreating bodies. "I can't believe after 3 years we run into him again," Rory said.
"I know, we didn't even get to ask him about his girlfriend Nicole," Tristan said. At the mention of girlfriend, Logan sighed in relief and the group looked at him amused, only causing him to smile sheepishly.
An unsubtle cough brought Tristan and Rory out of their daze and they turned to see their 6 friends with a 'story time' look. The two immediately launched the story of how they first met Aiden as their friends listened with interest.
"You out do yourself Hayden," Louise said with a smirk.
"What do you mean?" she asked confused.
"You manage to snag all these amazingly gorgeous men!" Stephanie said with a similar smirk, "I would be concerned if I were you Logan."
Logan feigned a laugh and wrapped his arms around Rory's waist. "I think I'm winning to race to Rory Hayden's heart right?"
"Yes but the British boy is close behind, I'd step up the game if I were you," Rory said playing along.
"Damn and he has an accent I can't compete with that!" he said feigning exasperation.
"It's alright you're hotter than him," Rory said nonchalant.
"I knew you only liked me for my looks!"
Tristan rolled his eyes, "You catch on quick. You do the whole bantering thing better than I do." Logan smirked, not only at Tristan's comment but also at the fact that Finn was about to pull the dress out from the bag that Rory tossed at him when she jumped on Aiden. All the girls quickly realized it and collectively gasped while Rory pulled herself out of the tight grasp Logan was trying to hold her down with.
"Finnegan!" she yelled grabbing the gown bag, zipping it up quickly and tossing it to Steph. "Yes love?" he asked innocently. Rory only glared in response and Finn got down on his knees and hugged Rory's legs.
"I'm sorry love! Bad Finny! Will you ever be able to forgive me!" he asked in mock desperation. Leave it to Finn to cause a scene in the middle of the mall, and Rory to go along with it.
"Maybe, if you buy me something shiny," Rory said patting his head.
"Kind and compassionate kitten, you forever have my gratitude," he said running his hands up and down her legs. He was about to grab her ass when Logan glared and Rory stopped him and backed out of his grasp. "Nice try Finny," Rory said going back to Logan. Finn just looked disappointed and propped himself against the railing once more. The group laughed at Finn's face.
"We have about an hour and half left, do you girls need to get more or is our torture over?" Tristan said with a smirk after the laughter died down. "Ha ha," Louise feigned,"We're pretty much done, is there anywhere you guys want to go?"
"Let's go to Hustler," Finn said with a smirk that all of the guys mirrored.
"What's hustler? I've never heard of it," Steph said confused. She was a shopping queen and she usually knew of every store in every mall.
"All the more reason to go then," Colin said starting the walk to the store with everyone else following.
The group arrived outside of the big store and the girls walked in before the guys. "You are all perverts," said Louise looking around at the store. It was one of those stores that sold anything and everything that had to do with sex, it had two levels filled with sexual contraptions. The guys behind them snickered; of course they had been there before. They were guys, need I say more?
Madeline looked over to the far wall that had several scanty outfits containing lots of leather, handcuffs, whips, etc. "Look Halloween costumes and props!" she exclaimed running to the wall while giving her dress bag to Stephanie. "No Maddy those aren't Halloween things!" hissed Louise running after her handing her dress bag to Rory. The guys just laughed at her stupidity while Rory and Steph thrust all four dress bags at them. "You open them, and I cut off all of your appendages starting with the smallest," Steph threatened, "and don't get smart and say it's your arm!" The guys all stopped their laughter and begrudgingly held the bags, not letting their curiosity jeopardize their chances at reproducing.
Stephanie and Rory linked arms and walked away from the guys and went off on their own, leaving the guys to shop by themselves.
About an hour passed and the group was still separated. Finn had managed to fill a whole basket with things he intended on buying while the guys just looked at him with disgust. "Maybe we should find the girls," Logan suggested, he wasn't really as interested in this stuff as he was in his playboy days. But Rory would look good in that bunny outfit. Ah mind out of the gutter Huntzburger.
The girls were sitting in a circle on the floor on the second level of Hustler next to the eatable body spread. The girls initially just tasted the various flavors by squeezing it out of the tube, putting it on their fingers and tasting it. However, Louise being the wilder one, informed them they were doing it all wrong.
"If you're going to taste it you have to taste it on someone else's skin," Louise said taking off her sweatshirt and tying her hair back. Stephanie and Rory just looked at her like she was crazy. "Ok maybe if the guys were here we could taste it that way on them, but I'm not going to lick you," Stephanie stated finally.
"Guy's come on; I think we can all safely say we don't have feelings for each other. It's just to justify the flavor!" Louise said.
"Speak for yourself about the feelings," said Rory sending a wink towards Steph causing all four of them to crack up. When all of them had calmed down, Louise placed some of the Strawberry spread on her arm.
"Lick," she said to Madeline sticking her arm out to her. Madeline just did as told; she really had no care in the world. "It does taste better!" she said surprised.
"How is that possible?" Stephanie asked squirting some of the pineapple flavored body spread on Madeline's arm. She tentatively took a lick and looked shocked.
"Told you," Louise said matter-of-factly. The girls continued testing by licking each other arms. They even made a game out of it by trying to guess the flavor they tasted. They realized that they would have to pay at least 20 dollars to compensate for all the packages they were opening, but Rory admitted many of them tasted like candy and were things that she would eat anyways or put on her ice cream.
"Ok this is kind of gross now," Rory said when her arms were getting moist. Stephanie pulled out some hand sanitizer and tissues from her purse and passed it out.
"Now we can't use our arms unless we want to get poisoned," Louise said. Then she had an idea. She took some in her two fingers and put some on her neck.
"No way! Too far!" exclaimed Rory. "Loosen up and have some fun it's your senior year. Go crazy!" Stephanie said obviously on a sugar high from all the spread they tasted. She squirt some on Madeline's neck and licked. Rory looked defeated and licked Louise's neck, unaware one the 4 guys watching them.
Rory pulled away and taste, trying to guess the flavor, "Peaches and cream!" Rory exclaimed. Louise nodded.
"Ok my turn!" Louise said covering eyes Rory put some of the nearest tube on her neck for Louise to lick. When Louise did it tickled her a bit and Rory let out a giggle. Louise touched her tounge to the top of her mouth trying to identify the taste. "Tropical Fruit blend?" she guessed. "Wow you're good at this," Rory said laughing.
"It isn't my first time," she said with a wink causing all the girls to laugh. Obviously, all of them were on a sugar rush and laughing at anything. Suddenly, Madeline started waving to someone behind them and they all turned their heads to see the remainder of their group watching them; mouths on the ground.
The guys climbed the steps in search of the girls and found them all sitting on the floor with sweatshirts off and hair tied up, surrounded by body spread tubes. "What the hell?" Colin asked about to approach them, but before he could his eyes went wide as he saw Steph lick Madeline's neck. "Whoa," Tristan said frozen.
"Looks like Louise is trying to get Rory to do the same thing," Logan said looking turning the group's attention to Louise who was tilting her head and pointing to her neck. "She won't do it," Tristan said surely, but he spoke too soon because as soon as the words left his mouth Rory stuck her tongue out and ran it along Louise's neck. They watched open mouthed as Rory said something and Louise nodded. They were going approach them when Rory put some on her neck and Louise licked.
"Mates, I'd like to change my best day ever again," Finn said hoarsely. He got no response from the guys because they were too busy in their own world.
They watched as the girls erupted in laughter before all of them turned their heads to look at them.
Rory blushed when she saw the guys approaching them. She was alright doing that kind of stuff, but she had no idea she was putting on a show for her boyfriend and his friend. Finn sauntered over and took a seat between Louise and the blushing Rory, throwing an arm around both of them.
"Very nice show ladies, let's have an encore with Finny flavor!" he said suggestively as he wiggled his eyebrows. The girls just giggled while the guys glared at him. Rory looked up at Logan who winked and smirked at her and couldn't stop the blush from evading her face.
"Damn she's cute when she blushes," Logan thought watching his girlfriend who had just gotten up.
"Let's go guys I'm hungry," Rory said cursing herself for saying that, she set herself up.
"Hungry huh, because it seems like you consumed a large amount of body spread already," Tristan said smirking while looking at the various tubes of body spread that she had placed in a basket. Rory just glared at him before looking over to Logan who was smirking. "Take that smirk of your face Huntzburger or I'm leaving you for the British boy."
"Why don't you make me," he said with heavy innuendo. Rory was about to bite back when she had an idea.
She leaned closer to him, pushing him against the railing that over looked the lower lever and ran her hand slowly up and down his arm causing him to audibly gulp. Everyone watched on with amusement. She pushed her body against his and moved her mouth slowly to his ear. Logan was trying his hardest to control himself as he felt her hot breath against his skin, making the little hairs on the back of his neck stand up. "Maybe if you ask nicer later," she purred into his ear before pushing her self away from him and walking away with a sway in her hips, followed by the other girls, all with identical smirks.
The guys just pointed and laughed at Logan. "You see the look on his face?" Tristan asked Colin as they made their way down the steps.
"That was a show mate, quite a show," Finn said with a goofy grin throwing an arm around Logan. Logan just rolled his eyes. Like I said before, she'll be the death of me.
All the kids were eating their food from Wendy's in the foodcourt when Lorelai, Liz, Eric, and Chris arrived. "What you buy from the sex store!" Lorelai squealed looking at the black bags from Hustler that all the girls and Finn had and gaining the attention of half the food court.
Chris and Eric's eyes widened and both of them groaned. "Lore we really don't want to know do we?" Chris asked.
"Of course I do. What is it!" Lorelai asked.
"We went a little overboard with the body spread tasting so we had to buy over 70 dollars worth of it, then split the flavors up," Louise said.
"Oh let me see which ones you got Rory," Liz said taking her bag before breaking out in giggles.
"What?" Rory asked confused.
"What's with the spanking stick?" Lorelai said as she pulled out a stick with a small leather paddle at the end of it. Rory blushed furiously while the group except Finn started wide eyed and the fathers glared at Logan. Logan squirmed under their gaze.
"I swear I didn't buy that!" Rory exclaimed. She looked around the table helplessly and locked eyes with Finn who had a huge smirk on his face.
"Finn!" Rory yelled accusatory.
"Yes love?" he said with smirk still in place.
"Did you put that there?" Rory asked angrily. Finn just nodded and as Rory got up to go over to him he held his hands up in mock surrender. "Love, must I remind you that the forgiveness you graciously offered me had to be paid for with something shiny. The spanking stick is shiny!" he said with a smile. Rory sighed, the two did agree on that and there was no denying it. The group just laughed.
"Anything else interesting happen today?" Liz asked while waving around the spanking stick.
"Whoa Liz calm down with that you might take an eye out," Lorelai said dodging it from nearly slapping her face.Liz just smiled and put the stick down.
"We saw Aiden," Tristan said to his mom and Lorelai.
"SEXY ARMY BOY!" exclaimed Lorelai. Although Lorelai and Liz had never actually met Aiden, their kids had told them all about him after their week long bonding with him. They showed them pictures and Liz and Lorelai had agreed that he was worthy of being a model.
"Mom for the last time his name is Aiden and he's not in the army, and neither are his parents. They're in the peace corps and they got sent overseas and that's why he's in Connecticut," Rory said rolling her eyes.
"Who's he staying with?" Liz asked curiously. Rory immediately felt Logan's hand tense under hers as the group of six suddenly became very interested in their hands. Rory and Tristan just looked at each other before Rory answered.
"Marissa," she mumbled while rubbing Logan's hand with her thumb, he looked up at her with a weak smile.
"Ew the slut is here?" Lorelai exclaimed before going wide eyed and covering her mouth with his hand. Logan looked up surprised that she knew as well as the other 5. Rory was worried that Logan would be upset that Lorelai and Liz knew but instead he started laughing followed by everyone else.
"Yeah, the slut," Logan said with a bright smile. "Whew," Rory thought. The rest of the time at the mall the kids filled in the adults on their endeavors from the day and the new experiences they all went through, it was good for the 6 to have parental figures to talk to instead of just each other. As Finn went into a desperate story of how bored he was while the girls were shopping, Logan couldn't help but think about how lucky he was. He had this great girlfriend who had great parents that had practically adopted all of them, and loved them like their own children. He had gone into this relationship with some doubts in his mind but now he felt as if he could spend the rest of his life with this girl. This thought scared him and comforted him at the same time. Am I really ready for that kind of commitment? But before he could second guess himself, Rory laughed. A laugh that he could get used to hearing, and that was when he felt something he never truly felt before: Love. He just didn't know it yet.
"Bye!" Rory yelled from her front yard as her and Tristan's friends drove off. The two were waving them away when Tristan spoke, still looking at the car slowly become smaller.
"Interesting day huh?" Tristan asked.
Rory, who was eating body spread straight from the tube, answered, "Yep. Pineapple body spread?" she asked offering the tube to Tristan. Tristan just laughed, "Yeah definitely interesting day."
