Author's note: I do not own « Gilmore Girls » or any of the characters except Daphnee whom I added.

Thank you for the reviews let me know if I put someone really out of character, I am really trying to stay true to them, still making them grow as they would have in real life. This is my first attempt to fanfic or to any fictional writing and also I am writing in my second language.

Object: Do you not want to keep in contact?

Hello,

You hurt me love, not answering my email from last week. No, seriously, I haven't heard from you since my last email and I am concerned. I really hope that you are doing ok doll. As I am not certain you want to keep in touch, I will now wait, but hope to hear from you.

Take care,

Your own Aussie,

Finn.

Hey Finn,

I am really sorry not to have gotten back to you sooner but so much has happened so quickly in the last week or so. Of course I want to keep in touch. You guys (you, Collin and Stephanie) were so much part of my life for the last 2 years even though we have not seen each other much for the last year. Logan always kept me informed on you. And I did miss your exuberance and Colin getting you back to reality.

As for how I am doing, well, I have been kept busy so I do not have too much time to rethink everything. I did though allow myself to have a proper Gilmore wallow session… but barely, as I had to leave quickly for my first official job….

Yes, you heard, I am now writing you from the bus for journalists following Barak Obama's campaign for presidency. I got this job from Hugo, a friend of Logan that I was writing for from time to time. We have our first event tomorrow. I am really excited about this. I will send you the link to the article once done if you want to read it.

How is he doing by the way? I shouldn't be asking as I did refuse his proposal so I have not right to ask but at the same time, I am really hoping that he is not going to do something stupid once again. Be there for him will you? On another subject, what is going on with you?

Friendly yours,

Rory

Object: Congratulation

Congratulation for the job Rory… I will be looking forward to read you again. Your article was witty and interesting. You've got it girl, beauty, character and intelligence. You will make a guy really the happiest man alive one day.

Well, I do not want to talk about our common friend… let's just say he is currently busying himself and please, do not ask again unless you want to know the details (and honestly, love, you do not). I myself am doing grand! As always, I am going from party to party. I am working in the Morgan Group. I am currently managing different establishments we own, mainly upscale nightclubs and Entertainment venues. I am quite in my element now so work feels like play… organizing theme parties, soirees and events for our clients. The only difference with my nights since I finished Yale is that I am no longer drunk. I have met a wonderful woman, her name is Daphnee and she is a designer. She is wonderful; we've been together for close to four months now. I know, surprising isn't it? But honestly, I have never felt better with myself than when I am with her. She is surprising me every time I see her… Oh, I should not be talking to you about this. Sorry… I will let you go now but if you want to, we can chat through msn, I am logged in most of the evening when I work so don't hesitate if you see me online… you can find me under Aussie_boy81.

Take care and don't think too much about him, you deserved a lot better.

Your friend,

Finn

Rory_GH: Finn?

Aussie_boy81: Rory! How are you?

Rory_GH: As good as could be, and you?

Aussie_boy81: I am great from all angles love. Where are you at this time, you know it is quite late?

Rory_GH: I am now in Idaho, I was writing an article, and I tend to sleep on the bus so I work late most of the time. I am getting homesick and we are always in our suitcases, on the go from hotel to hotel, and they are not Morgan's, let me tell you! But the job is good. How about you?

Aussie_boy81: Well, I am in one of our nightclub currently. Not much to do tonight it's quiet. Did you know Colin finally had the guts to ask Stephanie out?

Rory_GH: No! Are you serious? He did? Are they an item yet or are they just doing the not exclusive thing you guys are so fond of?

Aussie_boy81: I am appalled at what you are insinuating Miss Gilmore. I haven't had a one night stand in more or less 1 year! Now I can't say the same for my mates!

Rory_GH: Mate or mates?

Aussie_boy81: Rory, don't ask if you can't handle the answer please. I am not agreeing to everything he is doing but still he is my friend and I will support him also even in his stupid ways. Anyhow, it is not like when he was with you, he can now do what he wants.

Rory_GH: I am sorry Finn… I need to respect that… so how is your girl doing?

Aussi_boy81: Did you know you are the only one that asked? We are doing fine. I should be meeting her mom soon. We are planning a trip to her hometown for next month. Did I tell you she is French, she is from Montreal, Canada?

Rory_GH: No you had not, so she is also exotic?

Aussi_boy81: exotic? Not sure I follow you…

Rory_GH: Yes, you have an accent "A hot Aussie exotic accent" as my mom would say. So she should have an accent too If she is French, Michel was also French Canadian. How did you meet by the way?

Aussi_boy81: We've met at an event I was organizing for her company. So you think I am a hot Aussie?

Rory_GH: That is not what I said… anyhow, weren't we talking about your girlfriend?

Aussi_boy81: We were Love, I would like for you both to meet one day.

Rory_GH: When I will be in New York, I will let you know. So tell me, how come you do not drink anymore?

Aussi_boy81: Don't mention it to Colin or Logan if you see them but I was not that often drunk, even in college… I overplayed a little which allowed me to get away with so much more. I was mainly having fun… and for the record, I did not have as many flings as you might think. Although you are right, I had my share.

Rory_GH: Seriously? Why were you acting it out then?

Aussi_boy81: Well, it is what they expected… I am the clown, provider of good time and fun. Before I had a rough summer, that is when I sank the boat in Fiji but afterward, I did not drink as much… my parents got to me after that stunt and even I knew I could not act out if I wanted to succeed.

Rory_GH: Finn, I've got to go… it is really late now and the bus is leaving early tomorrow… Anyhow, don't you have to close soon?

Aussi_boy81: You're right… we'll talk soon?

Rory_GH: for sure! Take care!

June 23rd 2007

Aussi_boy81: Rory, Love, are you busy?

Rory_GH: Hi Finn, I can take a break, what's up?

Aussi_boy81: I am bored tonight… my girlfriend is out of town and I just got back to a night with my friends. I just did not feel like getting wasted and then home alone… so I called it early.

Rory_GH: Wow, I am speechless ;). Why didn't you go with Daphnee on her trip? Everything is still going good with you both I hope?

Aussi_boy81: Yes, it is. Well, actually, I am not certain. I don't know, she has been gone for 5 days now and I do miss her. But I don't know… it is a bit like missing Logan or Colin… I feel like we are becoming really good friends but not sure there is that much more.

Rory_GH: I don't know what to say. Did you have a serious girlfriend before?

Aussi_boy81: Logan never told you did he?

Rory_GH: No, nothing ever came up.

Aussi_boy81: Well, I don't talk about it much because somewhere it does still hurts. I had a girlfriend from the time I was 14 to just before we met. She was the reason I wanted to never give my heart back to anyone after Fiji. I really loved her and we were together for such a long time. But as we ended up going to different colleges, we kind of drifted apart… at least she drifted apart. We broke up at spring break. I had gone to visit her and well, she was avoiding me. Then I found out that she had started dating again. After, I had a really rough time, got into drinking a lot and screwing around from time to time.

Rory_GH: I always thought there was a history behind your actions. I hope you don't mind me asking now.

Aussi_boy81: Not at all, I am over her but thing is with Daphnee, I got really interested. She is so nice and beautiful, she is smart and witty but I don't know. I am not sure I feel the spark. I do love her though but feels more like friendship. Is it weird that I discover this while she is gone… maybe it is just because she is away.

Rory_GH: I just don't know what to say. I think you'll need to figure this out by yourself. Let's talk about something a bit more cheerful ok? I don't want for us both to end up crying ourselves to sleep. Are you at home?

Aussi_boy81: Yeah.

Rory_GH: Open the TV and we'll just watch it and mock on some reality show there sure is playing at one or another station…

Aussi_boy81: Oh, I like that train of thought… You want me to call you?

Rory_GH: Great… give me 10 minutes, I will go and get munchies.

Aussi_boy81: Perfect, leave me the number where to reach you…

And this is how I, Rory became friends with Finn… through msn, emails and phone calls during the first few month of my campaign…
