Sunday 10:45am

Rory was in the middle of a great dream when she felt someone jumping on her bed. She groaned and turned her body to face the left side of her mattress, to get away from the annoying bouncing body, but the jumping continued. She squeezed her eyes shut and rapped her feather pillow around her head to try to escape the infernal movement, but when it wouldn't stop, she gave up.

"What in Gods name could you possibly want?" Rory said turning over to lie on her back.

"Morning Luv!" Finn said still jumping on Rory's bed. "You know, this is actually quite of fun!"

"Finnnnn…."Rory whined.

"Roryyyyy….." Finn whined back, matching Rory's tone.

"Finn seriously, why are you here?" Rory said pulling herself up to sit Indian-style on her bed.

"Well, Colin told me to wake you up and…..well….I came to wake you up." Finn said sitting down next to Rory.

"What time is it?" Rory said sleepily.

"Well judging on that wonderful blue clock on your nightstand, I would say it is 10:46…no wait, 10:47am."

"Hum, and when am I suppose to be downstairs again?

"Umm…I think yesterday Logan, a.k.a the guy that you were swapping spit with, said something about 11:30. But then again, I wasn't really paying attention; I was focused on the redhead at the mini bar.

"You mean Rosemary?"

"So that's who that was. No wonder she looked so familiar."

"Oh Finn." Rory said rolling her eyes and laughing to herself.

"Well Rory, I have been meaning to ask you, what did happen yesterday night? After you came back from dancing the night away with Logan, you looked all glowey."

"Glowey?"

"Ya luv, glowey. What happened?" Finn said lying down on his stomach with his hands under his chin and his legs in the air. He reminded Rory of an elementary school girl, egger for gossip.

"Well, I told Logan that…"Rory started to say but was cut off by Stephanie and Rosemary bursting in the room.

"Rory, tell Finn that it is my turn!" Stephanie said stomping up to Rory.

"Finn's turn for what?" Rory asked.

"Today was supposed to be my challenge, but Finn said he wanted his to be it!" Stephanie complained.

"Quiet luv, reporter girl here was about to tell me what happened yesterday night." Finn said.

"Ooh gosh, so sorry Rory, please continue." Stephanie said as she and Rosemary sat down on the bed next to Finn.

"Well, I really don't have much to say, I just told Logan that…"Rory said but was interrupted again.

"Hey Steph I have it all figured out, you are going to do your Challenge…" Colin started while entering Rory's room.

"QUIET! Will everyone please stop interrupting Rory or I will never find out what happened!" Finn yelled.

"What happened?" Colin asked

"I don't know Colin! That's what I wanted to find out." Finn said annoyed.

"As I was saying…"Rory said "I um, told Logan that I loved him."

"Oh My God, you love him?" Rosemary asked.

"Ya." Rory said shyly.

"Well, I knew that." Colin said crossing his arms.

"Wait, Colin knew and you didn't tell us?" Stephanie said pointing to Rosemary and herself.

"I'm sorry; Colin was just there when I realized it." Rory said.

"And what about me; you love me way more then Colin!" Finn said

"Hey!' Colin said.

"Well it is true! I spend the most time with Rory." Finn argued.

"No you don't, I do!" Stephanie argued back.

"You guys, stop arguing!" Rory yelled as she picked up her backpack and went to the bathroom to take her shower.

"But seriously you guys, who do you think she has the best conversations with? Me!" Colin said completely ignoring Rory's statement.

"Oh Please! She totally loves our conversations, especially when we shop at the mall together." Stephanie said.

"I have to agree with Steph on that one. Stephanie and Rory, plus mall, equals talking and shopping. And when you shop, conversations are always awesome." Rosemary said.

"Darling, you may be hott, but you don't have any idea of what you're talking about. Rory obviously likes me the best because I was the first one that she was going to tell this morning!" Finn said.

"It's only because you got here first!" Rosemary and Stephanie said together.

"Doesn't everyone remember that she told me first, she told me YESTERDAY!" Colin said throwing his arms in the air.

"Oh Colin, that doesn't count!" Finn said

"Ya Col, Rory said that you were just there when she realized it. Kinda like Logan and his whole realization thing." Stephanie said rolling her eyes.

"But Logan was more dramatic." Colin said.

"And way more annoying." Finn added.

Just then Rory came out of the bathroom. She was wearing a black frilly skirt and a dark green top. Her hair was pulled in a half ponytail and she was wearing light make up.

"Ok, I'm ready." She said, getting her black purse and putting the LDB money in it.

"Wow Rory, you change fast." Rosemary said.

"Ya, well, I didn't want to leave these three alone for too long, you never know what could happen." Rory answered.

"I resent that Ror. Stephanie, Colin, and I have a wonderful relationship." Finn said

"Of course you do, a, um, strange, but great relationship." Rory said searching for the rest of the items that the LDB put on her doorstep, Monday night.

"Shoot! Sorry Ror but Me, Colin, and Rosemary got to go." Stephanie said walking toward the door. "You too Finny."

"Right. Ok Ror, met us in the foyer, in like 10 minutes." Finn said following Colin who had just left.

"Mm kay." Rory said still rummaging through her backpack.

She wasn't sure what the next Challenge was, but decided to organize everything. She emptied her backpack and put all of the LDB items on the table by her T.V. Then she took her clothes and put them back in her backpack. She picked up her purse and put on her black strappy 1 inch heals. She then picked up her black cardigan and headed out the front door, closing it behind her. She was ready for whatever the brigade would throw at her.

When she got to the stairs, she looked over the banister and saw the entire LDB, standing in the foyer with glasses of champagne in their hands. She nervously walked down the stairs clutching her purse and cardigan tightly. When she got to the last step, Logan stepped forward, this time with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. This cant be good. Rory thought.

"Rory Gilmore, welcome. Today you will be doing your second challenge." Logan said with a smile.

"You will be doing the Vanderbilt Challenge, so I will be accompanying you." Stephanie said.

"Yes, right the Vanderbilt Challenge." Finn said scowling. "And I get to hold the box."

"Anyway, here is your envelope and idem." Stephanie said as Finn handed a LDB envelope and big white box to Rory.

"You can open the envelope now, but have to wait until you finish the task to see what your item is." Logan said smirking.

"Um why do I have the feeling that I'm not going to like what ever is in that box?" Rory asked.

"Trust me luv, if I got it, I would love it." Finn said.

"Anyway, are you ready Rory?" Steph asked.

"In Omni a Paratus." Rory said.

"Well, then the Vanderbilt Challenge has officially begun!" Logan shouted.

All the LDB raised their glasses, cheered, and started to drink their champagne. Rory opened up the envelope and read the card. It said:

Go to Crowne Plaza Downtown

50 Morgan Street

Hartford, Connecticut 6120

United States

There, the Truth and Lies Brigade is having a Party.

Get the TLB to accept you and while you are there, steal the brigadier Jenny Thompson's TLB ring.

Rory looked up and saw Stephanie walk to the door.

"Let's go, Hun." She said putting on her sunglasses.

"Bye Huntzberger." Rory said, running out the door.

"Bye Ace." Logan called to Rory.

The too girls hopped in Stephanie's Red convertible Volkswagen new beetle and put the top down. They zoomed out of the front gate and Rory looked down at the card again while Stephanie drove.

"Ok, this shouldn't be that hard. All I have to do is steal a ring." Rory said looking up at Stephanie.

"Oh Rory, this isn't just any ring, it is a Truth and Lies Brigade ring. And it isn't just any girl. It is Jenny Thompson."

"What's a Truth and Lies Brigade ring?"

"Well, when ever a person is inducted in a brigade, they do something or get something to show that they are a member. For the TLB, they get a ring that they have to wear at all of their Parties, Assemblies if you want to use the fancy name for it."

"Wow, maybe that would be a little more difficult."

"Ya, they are like glued to their hand. They NEVER take it off."

"But what's so special about Jenny Thompson anyway? Is she like a god or something?"

"No, but she sure comes close. She is the head cheerleader from our rival school, and is dating a Leader. It's kind of like you and Logan's relationship, except you are, or are going to be, a leader too."

"Wow. How will I get it from her?"

"I don't know, but if I were you, I would do it without her noticing."

"Why?"

"Um, just trust me."

"Ok."

"We're here!" Stephanie squealed as she drove by a big building that said Crowne Plaza. She parked and they both got out of the car and walked up to the building.

"Ok, um, how are we going to get in?" Rory asked to herself.

"Well duh Rory, they only rented out like one dinning room. The public is probably still aloud in." Stephanie said laughing.

Rory opened the big Glass door to the hotel and they walked inside. It was very cold in there, so Rory put her cardigan on. She and Steph then looked around at the lobby. It had an enormous ceiling and white walls. All of the furniture was black and the floor was black and white checkered marble. Rory felt like she was in the movie Pleasantville, stepping into a colorless paradise from a TV screen. She was just about to walk up to the front desk, when she saw a couple, dressed in old fashioned clothes from the 1950"s, walk into an elevator.

"Steph, follow me." Rory said hastening to catch up with the couple. But just as the girls reached the elevator, the doors closed.

"Great!" Rory said sarcastically, leaning on the wall.

"What?" Steph asked.

"I think 2 of the people that just went in that elevator were from the TLB." Rory said leaning her head against the wall.

"Well Rory, there will be other elevators." Stephanie said leaning her had on the wall by Rory.

"Ya Steph, I knew that. It's just that we don't have any idea what floor or room their in."

"Oh, Ya that could be bad."

"Ok, um…oh I know! Are their any costume places by here?" Rory said with a giant smile on her face.

"Ya, actually. I think I saw one like a block from here, why?"

"We're getting into a party!" Rory said taking Stephanie's hand and dragging her out the door.

A/N Ok the rest of the task will be in the next chapter. R and R!
