I don't own Gilmore Girls
The next day each one of them received a formal invite to the Hayden Estate for a party. A party which none of them knew what it was for. After they all sent their accept responses they headed to the Rich Man's Shoe.
"So love when do we get to see that aunt of yours?" Asked Finn
"She should be here soon. One of conditions the grandparents gave me was society lessons with Bella every day this week." Rory responded as her head it the table
"You know you really should be careful with that head of yours. I hear we only get one." Laughed Bella as she walked towards the table
"Is it time for lessons already?" Groaned Rory
"Come now Ror do you really think I am going to be giving you lessons? Your dating a McCrae, you're a Gilmore who is friends with the wealthiest that Yale has to offer. I really don't think there is anything I can teach you other than how to be a snob but that can be very boring. Now what is everyone drinking?" Bella asked
"Scotch." Replied Logan and Collin Bella scrunched her nose in disgust
"Cosmo." Smiled Stephanie Bella nodded in appreciation
"Irish Coffee.." Mumbled Rory
"I can't believe you would defile the nectar of the gods that way!" Exclaimed Bella
"I know! I told them not to put liqueur in my coffee!" Exclaimed Rory happy thinking she found another coffee addict
"Coffee? Who care about the coffee I am talking about the liqueur! Who the hell puts liqueur in something as god awful as plain coffee!" Shuddered Bella
"I resent that." Pouted Rory
"And you good sir?" Asked Bella to Finn
"A very simple Capitan and Coke." Laughed Finn
"Thanks!" Smiled Bella as she snatched his drink
The boys were dumb founded as Bella took the drink and finished it in several large sips. Finn looked like someone had shot his puppy. And while Bella waved the bartender over Rory couldn't help but bust out laughing.
"I don't think I have ever seen the boys this dumbfounded!" Rory exclaimed
"Neither have I!" Agreed Stephanie with a laugh
"Glad I could be the first!" Laughed Bella as she called for another round of drinks
"Now how long have you gents been here?" Bella asked
"About 2 hours." Offered Rory
"Great! Bar keep! 2 more for me please!" Bella smiled as she downed 2 of the 3 drinks
"Marry me love?" Asked Finn as he watched her
"I don't think even your fortune could keep us in liqueur!" Laughed Bella
Together the group spent the time getting to know each other playing games and eventually the group closed down the bar. As they exited the Rich Man's Shoe they started breaking off into couples. Rory and Colin heading back towards Colin and Logan's apartment, Stephanie and Logan made their way back to Stephanie's place and that left Finn and Isabella together.
Finn and Isabella took their time walking around slowly and drunkenly getting to know each other better. The two really were peas in a pod.
The next day was a flurry of the girls getting together to raid closets until the perfect outfits were selected for the party of the year! After all it had been almost 10 years since the Hayden's had opened their home and actually hosted a party!
Finally the gowns were chosen, the hair, nail and make up appointments booked and the girls where relaxing by the Vanderbilt pool. After an hour of sitting by the pool the boys showed up, well more like cannon ball crashed their nice relaxing day!
The next day.
All of the girls met up at the Gilmore House per request of Mrs. Emily Gilmore of course and were treated to some of the best in home pampering.
