AN: Hey guys! I know long time no chapters and I'm sorry. But…it's summer so I have time to update all my stories and maybe finish them.fingers crossed Thanks for reviewing. You guys are the best.
Rory was awakened by the smell of coffee coming from the kitchen. She groaned and sat up, untangling herself from her brother's arms. She walked slowly to the kitchen to find Tristan Dugrey there making a pot of coffee. Her footsteps made him turn to look at her.
"Hey Mary," he said.
She held up her hand to silence him. "No talk, coffee first." She grabbed a cup and poured herself a cup. She took a sip and sigh with contentment, then quickly drained the rest.
"For a jerk, you can make pretty good coffee." Rory told him, pouring herself another cup.
"Well what can I say? I'm good at a lot of thing and I will be willing to show you my expertise." Tristan said with a smirk.
"Wipe that smirk of your face Bible boy. Never going to happen."
Tristan walked towards her and whispered in her ear, "You know you want me Mary."
"As if Tristan," Rory said .
"Coffee." A voice behind them said. Tristan grabbed another cup and filled it to the top. "Thanks." Lorelai said and long sip. "Can we keep him?" she asked her only daughter.
"No pets. Remember what happen to poor Goldie?" Rory pointed out.
Lorelai shrugged. "Hey how should I know that Goldie didn't eat a lot? We eat a lot, I was just assuming he did too."
"Well feeding him the whole container is not an excuse."
"It just slipped off my hands?"
"Wait what? You killed a fish?" Tristan interrupted.
"I did not kill Goldie. The container of food merely slipped off my hands and the food went in the fish bowl and Goldie ate too much and died."
Luke came in just then and gave her a pointed look. "Well I'm guessing that happened to Stripey also?
"Hey I did not kill Stripey! She did!" Lorelai said pointing at Rory.
"Me??? Now you're blaming your daughter? I did not kill Stripey. The boys did."
A snort of laughter came from behind them. "Nice try bubbles, but we did nothing to poor old Stripey." Jess said coming into the kitchen with the rest of the crew.
"Oh no! Don't tell me you guys killed Stripey too!" Madeline said shocked by the news.
"Yeah these two did." Ry said pointing at his mother and sister. "Poor old Stripey died a painful death."
"Wow. I didn't know you were a killing machine Mare." Tristan said making everyone laugh except for Lorelai and Rory. "How exactly did you kill them?"
"They suffocated him." Jason informed the Chilton group.
"Suffocated him?" Paris asked confused.
"Yup. They drop the fish bowl and they kinda just stood there screaming pointing at the Stripey. And when we came back from the diner.(A/N: Yes Luke still has a diner.) Stripey was dead lying on the floor among shattered glass."
"We didn't do it on purpose!" Rory insisted. "Mom wanted to move the furniture and the table with Stripey's fish bowl in it was too heavy. And we forgot to move him so when we were moving the table, the bowl slid and fell."
"It's true," Lorelai agreed.
"Sure mom." Jess said clearly not believing.
"I'm serious. I'm glad my own son believes me."
Jess rolled his eyes. "So guys school tomorrow. Are you guys excited?" he asked sarcastically.
"I am looking forward to it."
"Only you Gellar."
"Thanks for the comment Danes."
"Is it just me or is there a little sexual tension going on there?" Ry whispered to his sister.
"It's always been there. It won't be long until they get together." Rory whispered back.
"Hey! What are you guys talking about? Us?" Jess asked curious.
"What huh?" That received a glare from Jess. "What?" Rory asked innocently.
Jess waved it off. "So any plans for today?" he looked at the Chilton crew.
Tristan just shrugged his shoulders. "I'm up for anything."
Louise, Madeline and Rory looked at each other for a second and then grinned.
"Oh no." Paris said with her head in her hands.
"SHOPPING!" the three girls exclaimed. And that was what they did, going through stores and stores with the four boys trailing behind them. Paris was not pleased at the idea of going shopping at first but then joined in after awhile. It was lunch when the boys finally got a break.
"Are you guys done yet?" Jason asked groaning with annoyance.
"Shush. Stop being a big baby. We still need to go to the 3rd and 4th floor." Rory told them. "But now I need…"
"Coffee." Her brothers filled in. And Rory smiled. "I have taught you well."
4 hours, 20 coffees and 500 stores later
"We're home!" Rory called in still giggling with the rest of the girls as they filed in to the house followed by four guys carrying about 30 bags from their shopping expedition.
"Well that was fun." Louise stated. "Let's skip tomorrow and go shopping again."
"No way. Tomorrow is the first day and we need to give a good impression. Besides I never skip school." Paris said.
"School. Fun." Madeline said. "Especially with bitch #1 and 2."
"Are they really that bad?" Ry asked.
"YES."
"Well we'll see tomorrow.
"I'm definitely looking forward to tomorrow." Rory said. "West Point Academy, look out."
