It was Monday morning and Rory was walking through the Yale campus, in dire need of caffeine. She had been running around all morning with a splitting head ache. Rory finally spotted a coffee kiosk and ordered a large black coffee. She needed as much in her system as she could get. As she sipped the steaming cup of dark goodness, her head ache slowly left her and she was back in the halls, dashing to get to her next class so she wouldn't be late.

Rory stepped in a cool, rectangular room and sat in a seat with 3 minutes to spare. My mom would be proud. She thought, smiling to herself. Just then, a familiar blond, sat down next to her.

"What Ya smiling about Ror?" she said while rounding up her golden locks and tying them back in a neat ponytail.

"What? Oh, hey Steph." Rory said, coming out of her thoughts

"Were you thinking about Logan again?" Stephanie joked, winking

"No, not this time." Rory said with a laugh. "I was just thinking about how I thought that I was going to be late."

"Oh Ror, your never late to class." Stephanie replied as she got out her notepad and blue writing pen.

Rory rolled her eyes and smiled. While Rory was never late, Stephanie was the complete opposite. She was always late and made it a habit to ask Rory for the first couple pages of her notes to copy.

"I'm surprised that you're on time."

"Well Ror, I wanted to talk to you before class started."

"Really?" Rory asked in a hushed tone as the professor entered the room. "What about?"

"Well, I wanted to know if you will come to lunch with me and the boys today." Stephanie questioned in an equally matched tone.

"Sure."

"Great!"

"What time?"

"Right after this class. We can drive together in my car since I know where the place is. We are going to meet them there since our class gets out 10 minutes after theirs."

"Ok. Where are we going?"

"Um, it's called Raquel's Eatery. It's about a couple blocks from here, pretty close to Yale."

"Sounds great!'

"Umm k"

The two girls looked at their professor who had already started on his hour long lecture. They scribbled notes ferociously on their pads to keep up with his motor of a mouth. Stephanie had once asked Rory if their professor needed to breath. By the way he talked; he looked like he could live his whole life without ever taking a breath.

Every once and a while Rory would glance at the clock For some reason she was really excited to go to lunch with Logan and the gang. She hadn't seen him for two days because she had been so busy with homework and studying for finals. They started tomorrow for her and went till Friday. She had 2 each day until Friday when she only had one. Logan, Finn, Steph, and Colin all had the same number of finals also on the same days so it made it easer to plan when they would go out and do things based on the test schedule.

After class, Stephanie and Rory drove over to the Eatery and met the Guys. They had been holding a booth and had already ordered his, Colin and Logan's drinks.

"Hey Guys, were here." Stephanie said, getting next to Colin while Rory sat down on the opposite side, next to Logan.

Logan gave Rory a quick peck on the lips and then asked her and Stephanie what they wanted to drink, while waving down the waitress. After they ordered, everyone began to relax and get into conversation.

"So Ace, how was your class?"

"It was terrible; Professor Slowtalk talked faster then usual today."

"Kind of ironic that his name is Professor Slowtalk and he talks so fast, isn't it luv? Finn said

"Ya I know, it is. I can't believe that I had him last year and I get cursed with him this year. Steph said

"Seriously, I think I needed a rewind button when I had him." Colin said

"Ya. Logan Agreed. "Oh Ya, I forgot to tell you guys that Ace, was a debutant.

"No!" Steph said her eyes growing large.

"Logan, I told you not to tell them!" Rory said a little annoyed.

"No you just told me not to tell them that you had a ball." Logan grinned. He was known for finding the loophole in their arguments.

"Wow Hun, didn't know you had it in you." Finn replied while trying to stifle a laugh.

"Ya Rory, Who new?" Colin said.

"Oh My Gosh, Ror" Stephanie said before she broke out in a mad rush of giggles.

"Steph it's not that funny." Rory huffed

"No…its not….that,… it's…..just….I can't imagine…..you …in….one of those dresses… dancing around…a POLE!" Stephanie said, laughing between words.

Rory sent Stephanie a death glare, but she didn't see it because she was still laughing.

"You got to admit reporter girl, it is kinda funny." Colin said with a giant smirk plastered to his face.

"Am I the only one who doesn't find it the least bit funny? I mean come on; I did it for my Grandparents. Its not like I was counting down the days until it came." Rory said

"Sorry luv, I think you're outnumbered in this category. But…do you think you still remember the dance, because I would love to see it." Finn said laughing

The rest of the lunch went on with Rory finally getting to change the subject. Every once and a while someone would make a joke or two about Rory probably looking like Mary from the Mary Had a Little Lamb nursery rhyme or something but Rory would just shrug it off and talk about something else. She loved her friends, but they were starting to get annoying.

After lunch, they said their goodbyes and Stephanie dropped Rory back at her dorm. Then she went to Logan's dorm to talk to him about something that couldn't be discussed in front of Rory. When she got to his dorm, she knocked and waited for him to answer. When the door opened, it was Finn and he let her in.

"Don't get me wrong Steph, we love seeing you, but didn't we see you a couple minutes ago?" Finn asked

"Of course you did Finny, but I have to talk to you three about Rory." Stephanie said while sitting down.

"Rory; why?" Colin asked while he and Logan made their way to sit by Stephanie on the coach.

"Well it is concerning the LDB…Stephanie said.

"No!" Logan said immediately

"But…" Stephanie started to say

"You know the rules Steph." Logan replied

"I just want to help…" Stephanie said.

"You can't!" Finn said

"Ya, Steph, Its tradition!" Colin replied

"But it's coming tonight, she won't have enough time to prepare, you know Rory, she needs at least 2 weeks." Steph said in one breath.

"She will be fine; she's a Gilmore, isn't she? Logan said.

"You better be right Huntzberger!" Stephanie warned

"I Promise." Logan said.

Later that night, Rory was back in her room studying, when someone knocked on her door. She didn't move at first, but when they knocked again she got off of her bed, went over to her dorm door, and opened it to find no one there. As she was about to close the door, she looked down to see a large white box with a envelope taped to the top labeled "RORY". She took the box inside and opened the envelope. Inside there was a letter with only 6 lines on it. It said:

Meet us in front of Profesor Slowtalk's room this Friday at 11 pm.

Wear something very comfortable

Bring an overnight bag with everything in the box included.

In Omnia Paratus,

The Life and Death Brigade

P.S Don't ask questions, you will find out what you need to know on Friday.

Now Rory was really curious. She opened the cardboard box carefully and inside there were very strange things. There was some average sized rope, 500 dollars in cash (in different bills), small cans of spray paint in red, white, blue, and brown, a fairy costume in her size, a book called Shakespeare's Greatest Work, and many other random items. Rory sighed, putting the contents back in the box and setting it with her card, which she had placed on her desk. She wasn't exactly sure what everything meant, but she was sure of one thing, what ever it was, Steph, Finn, Colin and Logan were the main people involved.
