The Lady is a Tramp
Rory was awoken by Stephanie, who was dressed in slacks and a knitted sweater.
"Hello sleepyhead, I tried not to wake you."
Rory smiled at her new friend, and stretched.
"I'll get up anyway; I'm looking forwards to seeing what we're doing today."
She said it with a content grin, she had slept wonderful, and now she was looking forwards to seeing Finn. After her and Stephanie's talk she didn't feel frustrated about him anymore. She jumped out of bed, and after taking a shower she got dressed in the clothes that were in the bag she got the night before. It was like Stephanie's slacks, a shirt and a sweater. Apparently they were still doing the 40'ties thing.
When they exited the dormitory they saw that they weren't the first to be up, there were people all around, most of them walking towards the hangar they had partied in last night. Rory seceded something familiar in the air, the smell of coffee, and it came from the hangar. She practically dragged Stephanie after her trying to get there as fast as possible. She needed coffee, the hangar contained coffee, so she had to go there in less than 5 seconds not to experience the withdrawals. She landed in front of a thermos with a panting Steph behind her.
"Morning Love, morning Steph" they heard a familiar Australian voice say as Rory lifted the thermos and found it to be empty, she let out a small shriek. She turned around, and both Finn and Steph noticed the slightly frantic look on her face.
"Thought you might need these," Finn held out two cups of coffee.
Rory shot out for both of them, and finished the first in couple of seconds. Steph shook her head, and looked at Finn.
"You should have brought more."
"There's more on the main table," he smiled as he watched Rory.
Steph went to get coffee, and Finn and Rory sat down. After her second cup of coffee she noticed that he was still wearing his uniform.
"What are we doing today since we're still dressed like this?" she looked down at her own clothes.
"You girls are arranging the nights festivities like we did yesterday, we normally takes turns, and us guys get to play."
She looked at him with a blank expression.
"We are doing a war re-enactment," he said with a big smile "Corny, isn't it?"
She grinned, thinking about Taylor and the others back in Stars Hollow.
"Very!"
Steph came back and joined them, and they had a great time making fun of Finn while they ate breakfast. He didn't mind much though, because it made Rory smile.
After breakfast the guys left, and the girls started planning the evening. They decided to have a bonfire-night, so they started to collect firewood for several big fires. After they were done with the preparations they sat down in the hangar and talked, all in all they were around 25 people, and Rory got to know a few of them a lot better during the afternoon. They were an interesting crowd, some of them were just like her mother had warned her that people from the high society were, but others were really nice. At around 5 o'clock the guys started to come back, and the food for the party was delivered. They had ordered people to barbeque for them, and they were starting to set up outside.
Finn rushed back, he got changed, and went to find Rory sitting in a crowd of girls in the hangar. She seemed to have made some new friends during the day.
"Hi Kitten," he smiled at the girls around her with his usual charm, and held out his arm to her.
"Want to join me? The gang is ready to eat; we're just waiting for you."
She grinned back to him as she got up and linked arms with him.
"Sorry," she said jokingly to the girls "My entourage awaits."
The girls grinned loudly, while most on them were eying Finn. She looked at him, and as always she had a sinking feeling. He was wearing jeans and a thin sweater, and you could faintly see his well proportioned upper body though the knitting. His hair was messy, his blue eyes shiny, and his cheeks were blushed. He had hurried to see her, and she could tell. Most of the girls were checking him out, but he only had eyes for her. She didn't like their looks though, she was suddenly afraid that he would notice one of them instead of her. He made her heart beat faster, and she had a sudden urge to kiss him but it wasn't the right time. She didn't want to do it just because she felt uncertain around other girls.
"Let's go," she said, "we can't let them wait to long."
They left the hangar, and went to the fire where Steph, Colin, Logan, Whitney and Robert were sitting, with them were also a girl named Clair she had met earlier. They sat down, and began to eat. The joked around with each other and talked, and at one point Robert got up and went to fetch two bottles of scotch and a bunch of glasses.
"Anyone up for a game of I've never´?" he said when he came back, holding up the bottles.
They all agreed, Rory hesitant, but Finn's hand on her shoulder made her feel secure. They sat down in an unfinished circle around the fire, and filled their shot-glasses. They started out with some pretty clean, PG questions, but they all knew it wasn't going to last. For a moment they were all quite, and then Steph spoke up.
"Right, if nobody else will, I'll go first," she held an artistic break and then she continued "I've never been in love."
She had her eyes fixed on Colin as she said it, and Rory noticed it, she felt sorry for him as she took her drink. Also Logan, Colin, Finn and Clair drank their shot. They refilled and looked at Robert, who was next in the circle.
"I've never had sex outdoors," he said with a grin in Whitney's direction, it looked like it was a dream he hoped would be fulfilled.
Steph, Colin and Logan took their shot. The guys looked at Steph quizzing, this was a story she had never told them.
"I was drunk, and it was in junior high. Not like I'm proud of it." she said under her breath.
They laughed at her embarrassment, and then Clair who was next, spoke up.
"I've never had sex in a public place."
Everybody except her took a shot. She looked around with chock on her face.
"I knew you two had to drink, that's obvious," she said pointing to Steph, Colin and Logan "but the rest of you?"
"In my high school." Robert said.
"Stable, I had a horse once." Whitney said with a little grin.
"In an arcade bathroom back home," Finn smirked "we had a contest."
Now they all looked at Rory. She blushed and looked down.
"A dance studio back home."
They all laughed, and Finn put his arm around her and gave her shoulder a thug.
"Don't be shy Kitten, we all did It." he said and kept his arm around her. It made her feel so safe, and she leaned back into it a bit.
It was Whitney's turn next.
"I've never slept with any of the people here." she said, expecting that would give them all a breather.
Everybody looked at her, they all took a shot
"We're all sluts okay?" Steph said with a slightly blurred voice "Besides you don't really know someone till you've seen them naked."
Whitney just gave her a look, and Colin quickly continued the game.
"I've never had sex with a professor." He gave Rory a smirk; everybody had heard that someone from her dorm had an affair with Asher Fleming last year.
Surprising them all Clair took a shot, and Rory of course didn't.
"Philosophy last year and he wasn't really my professor," she smiled "he was a guest lecturer."
It was Rory's turn, and she felt like lightening the mood a little so she grinned as she said her line.
"I've never worn a superhero costume."
All of the others looked at her and grinned as they took their shot. Finn rewarded her silliness with a big smile, before he started talking.
"I've never kissed someone of my own sex."
Rory took her shot while he looked at her with eyes filled with surprise and a little bit of pride; it was nice to know that she had more to her than the angelic outsides. Also Logan, Colin and Clair took a shot.
"Stories!" Whitney shrieked.
"This is college, we're supposed to experiment." Clair said.
At the same time Colin and Logan both spoke up.
"It was a dare!" they yelled.
"Enough said there," Robert said and looked at Rory "and you Angel, what's your excuse?"
She was no longer so shy, and she had felt Finn thug her closer when Robert called her angel so she answered quite coyly.
"My roommate kissed me on spring break; she wanted to see if we could get free drinks."
"Paris?" Finn asked in disbelief and Rory just nodded.
Logan looked at them, and he didn't like the look on their faces. It was like they shared something, just the two of them. They both had affection in their eyes, and he had never shared anything like that with her before. He remembered some rumors he had heard, and raised his voice.
"I've never slept with someone who was married."
Rory's head snapped up and she started to lift her glass.
