A Gilmore Christmas
It is the Christmas the year Rory is 16 and she and her parents are at the annual Gilmore Christmas party.
They push the doorbell and the maid answers and takes their coats and they make there way into the entertaining area. They greet Richard and Emily and they are introduced to some of their good friends.
"Lorelai, Christopher and Rory this is Mitchum and Shira Huntzberger. Mitchum this is my granddaughter who wants to become a journalist" Richard beams at their friends.
"It's nice to meet you Lorelai, Christopher and Rory. I have heard so much about you from Richard he is so proud. We have a son about 2 years older than you and a daughter about 4 years older than you around here somewhere." Mitchum says
"Can I be excused to find the other teenagers?" Rory asks politely like she has been taught is correct in this society.
"Of course Rory most of your friends are in the library hanging out" Emily tells her and she makes her way to the library while her mother and father continue to schmooze the party.
Rory's POV
I opens the door to the library and see a bunch of my friends and some others I don't know I go straight over to my friends.
"Hi Paris, Madeline, Louise and Steph." I says as I approaches my 4 best friends.
"Hey Rory" they all reply
"So who are the others?" I ask asks
"We don't know we just got her 5 minutes ago" Louise tells me as I look over and see a group of 5 boys and a girl. I decide to walk over and introduce myself.
"Hi everyone I'm Rory." I say and I see them all look at me trying to sus me out. "My grandparents are Richard and Emily the ones throwing this little party" I add hoping they will tell me who they are.
A pretty thin blonde girl comes forward to introduce the group.
"Hi I'm Honour, and this is my little brother Logan and his friends Colin, Finn, Robert and Seth ." She tells me as I look everyone over.
"Well these are my 4 best friends Paris, Madeline, Louise and Steph" I reply with a big smile.
Everyone says hi and nice to meet you while Rory stands there thinking how can we can break the ice on this little party up.
"Where does everyone go to school?"I ask trying to break the ice.
"Well me and the boys all go to Andover at the moment but we are coming back to Hartford and going to be starting at Chilton after Christmas break we are all seniors "the boy called Logan says
"Cool we all go to Chilton we are in the we are sophomores except for Steph she is a junior" I tell them and they all nod "what about you Honor where do you go to school?" I'm a sophomore at Berkeley." She tells us.
"Well how about a game everyone to get this party going" says Finn who turns out to have an accent. "Where are you from Finn?" Louise asks "Australia darling" is his response "well what game did you have in mind" Madeline then asks "how about truth or dare?" He says "why not I say but first let's get some drinks, who wants to help me?" I ask as I head to the door "I will" says Colin and Logan so they follow me out to where the bar is and I grab a bunch of sodas and glasses and they sneak out some scotch and vodka. I think about it and I can see these boys may be a bad influences on us but could be so much fun and we head back to the library.
We all settle ourselves around in a circle and everyone grabs a drink I decide to get some vodka to go with my club soda which surprise my friends but makes the boys smirk.
"Ok so who is going first" I ask "since you spoke first you can" Logan says and then ask "truth or dare?" I think about it and I decide to begin with a "truth" I say.
"Have you ever drank alcohol before tonight?" He asks me and I feel like he can see straight through me "No I haven't" I answer and I take another drink of my vodka soda. "Ok your turn Logan truth or dare?" Finn asks him.
"You know I never shy away from a dare" he replies "well then I dare you to kiss the lovely Rory here for a minute" he says and I blush "that's easy Finn" he says "as long as you don't mind?" He adds trying to be a gentleman. "No that's fine we me" I rush out saying even though I have never kissed anyone before.
He makes his way over to me and sits down on the arm of my chair and leans in and starts to kiss me while the boys time it. As soon as his lips touch mine I feel a jolt of electricity go through me and I lose myself in his lips. But before I know it the door to the library is opened and my father walks in "Rory what's going on?" He says "oh hey dad we were just playing truth or dare" I tell him as he looks around and surveys the scene here. "That better just be club soda young lady" he says looking at my drink and I gulp realising I'm in big trouble. "We are leaving now so say bye to your friends and come say good bye to your grandparents before I come in there and hurt the boy kissing you" he adds and walks out.
"Ok well it looks like I have to go nice meet you guys and I guess we will see you all at school after Christmas" I say as I get up and hug my friends and leave the room. I make my way to the party and find my parents with my grandparents I say good bye with them and we leave and make our way out to our BMW and dad starts to drive us home.
"So did you have fun tonight kiddo" mom asks
"Yeah it was good meet some new kids that are coming to chilton after Christmas break" I say
"Are you talking about the boys sitting there or the one you were kissing?" Dad asks me looking back at me in the mirror.
"Wait did you say kissing? Who did you kiss?" Mom asks
"They all are coming to chilton dad all coming back from boarding school at Andover and yes mom I kissed a boy named Logan it was truth or dare and his friend dared him to kiss me for a minute but dad walked in during and his name is Logan" I answer all the questions.
"Logan isn't that the Huntzbergers kid" mum asks dad "yeah I think your right he had a sister too Honor if I remember" dad said "yeah that's him his sister was in there too" I reply and sit back. 5 minutes later we get home and I go straight to my room and change I message the girls to let me know when they are all home then we can conference call in together.
Mom knocks on my door "Can I come in?" She asks "yeah" I reapond and she opens the door and comes in and sits on my couch near my closet. "So you kissed a boy tonight?" She asks
"Yes I did" I reply coyly "how was it?" She asks me "It was really nice, like there were sparks" I say back "Sparks on your first kiss that's rare" she says back to me "I thought so to but it was really nice" I add "was he cute and tell me what you know about him?" She quizzes me.
"Ok so his name is Logan he is a senior he has 4 friends but he is the cutest of them all and he will be at chilton after Christmas break" I tell her. "Dad also said something about alcohol?" She asks after the boy talk.
"Yes I had a drink one vodka" I tell her and she looks at me like she doesn't know who I am.
"Where is my Rory Gilmore-Hayden?" She asks
"I'm here just growing up I'm a sophomore mom remember that and I'm noticing boys now too so you will need to start holding dad off" I say and I look at my phone 4 messages one from each of the girls. "Mom can we end our talk here the girls are ready for our conference call I need to talk to them" I say and mom gets up and leaves the room while I set up our 5 way call.
"What happened after I left?" I ask
"Nothing much really we talked but the game ended" Paris said
"Then parents started to come and get us all" Madeline adds
"What was in the kiss Gilmore?" Steph asks of course she noticed.
"It was a good first kiss what can I say" i respond
"Come one dish Gilmore?" Louise starts
"We could all see the chemistry there" Paris adds
"Ok there were sparks but it's nothing" I say trying to get the conversation off me
"Cut the crap Gilmore a hot senior kissed you and you make out it's nothing and it was you first kiss" Paris jumps in
"Alright it was a good kiss but I don't expect anything because he probably likes his girls experienced if you get what I mean" I reply
"Well let's just wait and see when we are back at school" Steph adds and we finish all call there and all crash and make plans to go shopping between Christmas and New Years.
