"Oh, this is…" Anna looks at the place that Jess and his friends went in on.

"It's a dump." Jess fills in the blanks.

"It was a run-down bar that got shut down for health code violations. Then there were some rowdy squatters." Chris explains the rough condition of the place.

"It needs a little fixing up." She grimaces at the hole in the wall.

"It needs a total makeover from ceiling to floor. But, with Jess's advice, we'll be able to do all the work. So, we'll just have to buy the materials and rent some equipment." Matthew knew it would be a lot of work but at least they were getting the ball rolling.

"So in the beginning it'll just be a bookstore?" She remembers Jess explaining the plan.

"Yeah, with the profits we'll buy the machines we need to make books," Chris confirms the plans.

"We'll still have a place for local musicians to play and have galleries for the artist." Jess didn't want to get stuck being just a bookstore. He wanted it to be a place where every voice could be heard.

"We should. I don't want to lose sight of what this place is supposed to be." Matt nods.

"I know it looks like shit right now, but I do see endless possibilities." Chris looks around smiling. She smiled watching Jess look around with the same excited glint in his eyes.


Anna and Jaci were told to stay after class by Chef Ned Blois. The ladies were worried about what he was going to say. Anna thought he was going to separate them. "Gillespie's does events. You two have been requested for one."

"Us?" Jaci pointed at her than Anna.

"Yup. Emily Gilmore is paying double for you two to cater a tailgate." He gave Anna a suspicious look over.

"My grandma does not tailgate." She scoffs at the thought.

"You have been ordered to go to Yale's parking lot, so maybe you don't know your grandmother as well as you think." He handed each a paper to detail the event and menu.

"Thank you." She walks out with Jaci.

"Look at that, we're getting paid for the drive too. So we're getting two days of pay for this and excused from school. It's like an extra day off." Jaci waved the paper around as she jumped around.

"We'll see if you feel that way after working for my grandma. She's paying the extra money, so she can be extra critical." She warns.

"I think she paid the extra money so she could get you. We as newbies would have never been given this sweet assignment." She twirls around.

"You don't think anyone is going to be resentful that we got it, do you?" She didn't want them to think her grandma was paying for her day off. She was going to work the event.

"Your grandma would not have catered from a place so far away if it wasn't for you. You got them a big payday." She bumps shoulders with her.

"Oh, the boss lady is calling." She accepted Emily's call. "Hi, Grandma, or should I say boss?"

"So, you heard, good. Did you get all the details?" She wonders.

"Yes, I did." She nods.

"Good, I need you to bring your bulldog." She told her the request she didn't tell her granddaughter's boss, not wanting them to think she was nuts.

"You want me to bring Naruto." She looks at Jaci who was also surprised.

"Yes, people will go nuts over him." She smiles.

"He'll be there. I might have to bring Sasuke too. Jess is working a lot." She didn't want him to be alone.

"That will be fine. I can't wait to see you." She hung up the phone.


She closed the apartment door behind her. She bent down to hug Naruto. "Hello, Sauske, Naruto. We got a road trip, buddies." She pets the cat rubbing against her leg. "It's just us again, huh?" She walked into the empty apartment. She had many lonely nights, with Jess going to his day job and then going to the bookstore. He would work there all night since the first thing they did was make the place soundproof. Often he would spend the night there. She might not see him for days. The only trace of him would be a note or a voicemail.

She called Jess. "Hey, babe." She smiled at hearing his voice.

"So, I got a catering job to tailgate at Yale. Don't worry, I'm going to take the pets." She wondered if he would notice she was missing.

"You don't have to do that." He knew he was dropping the ball with her lately but thinking she couldn't depend on him to watch their pets, hurt his pride.

"Naruto was requested to come, so I don't want to leave Sasuke out." She didn't want to say she would be worried the whole time if she left him.

"Naruto has been requested?" He didn't know why someone would want the dog around food.

"It's my grandma who is paying for the catering. She wants a dog like handsome Dan there." She explains.

"Being paid to hang out with your family, sounds right." He knew when he hung around his family it felt like a job. "Before you leave, we should have dinner."

"Yeah, I would like that." She nods. "I'll see you."


"Then, he flakes on dinner." She vents to Jaci in the car.

"I'm sorry, Anna." She had Sasuke in her lap. Naruto was snoring in the backseat.

"I'm trying to get through it when the place is renovated and open, he can quit construction then everything will go back to the way it was." She sighs. "I hate feeling resentful. He has supported my dreams. He wouldn't even be here if it was for me."

"It's a normal feeling." Jaci had been watching her go through a shame cycle for a month.

"I know, but it is not fair to him." She didn't want to ruin it.

"You feel like you constantly owe him, that's not fair to you either. You keep a tally of all the things he has done for you and you don't feel like you have a right to complain about anything because of it." She noticed she always brought up how Jess did this and Jess did that. "Jess does all that for you because he loves you. He never holds it against you, so why are you?"

"I don't bring enough to the table. I wait for Jess to get annoyed by it." She grips the steering wheel. "He is not home because he's working, but I can't help feeling that he's avoiding me."

"Anna, that guy loves you. He goes above and beyond for you." She knew Jess would never do that.

"I'm trying not to let our past leak into our future. But, he's lied to me before. His whole senior year, he was saying he was going to class when he wasn't." She licked her lips. "I just want him to come home. It's stupid but I would be happy if he slept next to me. I want to feel him."

"Then you need to tell him." She thought of a simple solution.

"I asked him why he sleeps there. He says, he gets done late and doesn't want to wake me up." She had tried to bring it up before.

"Who knows how long it will be until he can quit his day job? He is not going to until the bookstore makes a profit and that could take a year or more. In a year, you'll grow bitter and angry." She thought communication was always the answer.

"You're right. I'll talk to him when I get back." She pulled up to a dog park. They were at the halfway point. She wanted to take them out to the bathroom.


Anna and Jaci were walking the animals on their leashes through the Yale parking lot. "Grandpa!" She yelled when she saw the tall man in the crowd.

"Anna!" He stopped his wife from moving so they could catch up.

She hugged her grandparents in a greeting. "This is Jaci."

"Hello Jaci, what are you guys wearing?" Emily started with wide eyes.

"Don't worry we got our work uniforms." She looks down at the white tank top and jeans.

"You have to be in Yale colors." Richard shook his head.

"I don't have any blue." She looked at Jaci who was shaking her head.

"Go to the gift shop and get something. You need to be prepared when you come to work." Emily scoffs.

"Alright, we're going." She dragged Jaci along.

"We'll keep Handsome Dan." Emily took Naruto's leash. He whimpered at his owner walking away.

"You're alright!" Anna yelled back to him.

"She is intense." Jaci didn't talk to her during the birthday party.

"They are, especially about Yale." She listens to the people whispering in amazement at the cat walking on the leash. They walk into the gift shop. Jaci got a Yale sweatshirt. Anna got a Yale varsity jacket and a Yale blue plaid skirt.


Jaci and the maid, Sandy, were finishing prepping the food. Sauske was resting in the A/C RV. Naruto was walking with Anna, Emily, and Richard to find Lorelai and Rory. "Yoo-hoo Girls, over here," Emily called. They were sitting against a wall.

"Oh, my god." Lorelai gasps at them being dressed head to toe in Yale merch.

"It's a fine day for football." Richard cheers.

"And funny hats." She chuckled.

"If you're going to continue sitting on the ground, you should get yourself a saxophone and a tip cup." Emily smiles, not letting Lorelai's sass get to her on a special day.

"Right, sorry, up." Lorelai stood up and then helped Rory up.

"Lorelai, what are you wearing?" She couldn't believe she would come in that shirt.

"I'm sorry, you're horrified by what I'm wearing." She scoffs. They looked like they stepped off a corny Yale catalog.

"You're wearing crimson." She pointed at her shirt.

"She can't go like that." Richard gasped just noticing what she was wearing.

"Crimson is Harvard's color," Rory informed her.

"That's a very dangerous choice for today, Lorelai." He glares at her shirt.

"I'm not wearing crimson. I'm wearing red." She held up her arm which was covered in long sleeves.

"Same thing." Emily snaps.

"Can she walk with us?" Anna tilts her head.

"Anna, why do you even have that jacket?" She knew that wasn't in her wardrobe.

"I bought it when I came here." She put her hands in her pockets.

"You can wear my jacket." Emily held it out.

"Do you have a samurai sword under those pom poms because you're going to have to kill bill me to get me into that?" She shook her head.

"Arms." She held it up.

"Yes, ma'am." She pouts while she slipped it on.

"What do you have there, Rory?" Richard nods to the zip-lock bag in her arms.

"Fig Newtons, a little dessert for later." She hugs it.

Anna, along with her grandparents laughed. "What's so funny? We got the jumbo pack. We're not cheap." Her mom was offended.

"I'm sorry, Rory. We didn't need to offend you. We love your fig newtons." Emily took off her scarf and wrapped it around Rory.

"We will eat them proudly." Richard chuckled.

"There just fig newton, guys, don't get freaky." Lorelai shook her head.

"Let's get going." He rubs his hands.

"So what time does the game start?" Anna asked.

"One o'clock." He told her.

"One?" Rory was shocked.

"Why the hell do we have to be here at nine?" Lorelai shouted.

"For tailgating." Anna thought of why she was there.

"Oh, tailgating, like food. Let's get to it." She turned to face the direction of the parking lot.

"Not yet, as Gilmores, we take part in a lot of rituals and traditions before the game. First up is a visit to Dan." He was ready to start the day.

"A visit to Dan." Emily cheered.

"Who Dan?" Lorelai asked.

"The mascot, a bulldog-like Naruto." She petted her dog.

"Can we just pretend this is Dan? Hello Dan." She bent down to pet him. Naruto wiggled his butt while raising his head to make it easier for her to pet him.

"Come on, girls." Richard led them to a crowded courtyard. "Girls, I'd like you to meet Dan, the original handsome Dan." He led them to a glass case that had a stuffed white old English bulldog.

"The very first Yale mascot." Emily smiles fondly at him.

"Oh my, look away Naruto." She bent down to cover his eyes.

"What? This is what every dog wants to be: strong, determined, the very essence of dignity." Richard defends the stuffed dog.

"He got cotton stuffed in his butt. How dignified is that?" She is looking for the seams.

"You will not sully the name of Dan. This dog has been the inspiration for many young men." He scolds her.

"And Young women." Emily digs through her purse.

"We salute you, Dan." He held his head high.

"Time for a toast." She passed out metal collapsing shot glasses.

"Seriously." Lorelai was shocked that her mom would have those.

"Oh, it's a tradition, here we go. The Rory and Anna flask and the fun flask." Richard hands the flask to Rory. She fills her and her sister's cups. Lorelai laughed in Anna's face while Richard filled up their cups. They followed the elders in the group to raise their cups to Dan. "Give our boys the strength to do battle yet again for the honor of Yale and help us send the Harvard Boys home in a body bag. Dan, we salute you."

"To Dan." The girls cheered before taking their shot.

"Oh, I like football." Lorelai smiles.

"Sprite." Anna recognized the soda.

"I must admit through the years, I have hoped to be able to share this moment with the next generation. It's selfish I know but I am thrilled to be here with you guys." He held it up.

"To be together." Lorelai held up the cup. Emily and Rory filled them up. They took their shots. "Two more of these and I'm going to start to understand your outfits."

"Bulldog, bulldog, bow wow wow." Richard sang, making his daughter and granddaughters look at him like he was crazy.

"What the hell?" Anna watches him walk up to a group of guys.

"They're joining him." Lorelai gasped when the boys joined them.

"Everyone has a fun flask." Rory was amazed when everyone in the courtyard sang along.

"Cole Porter wrote that song." Emily brags.

"Is that before he learns to write songs?" Lorelai grimaces at the slurred singing.

Richard came back over to them. "Okay, it's time to move on, we have a lot of things to do." Emily collected the shot glasses, but Lorelai didn't give it back.

"I hear there is a squirrel encased in concrete next door. We have to burn incense and dance around his tail. Put nuts in our mouths." Lorelai was thinking of squirrel things.

"What can I do to stop you?" Emily wonders if she had to mock everything.

"More of the fun flask might do the trick." She held out her cup.

"This will be all until we eat. We got one more stop." She filled the cup.

"Time to get to work." She hands the leash to Rory while she runs ahead to help her friend.


"I thought we have to make them at her house and bring them here. I didn't know she gave us all the equipment to make them here." Jaci and Anna set up the table and put a fancy tablecloth on it.

"That's my grandma. She does everything at the most extreme level." She went to the grill to flip the shrimps and check on the steaks.

"I know but to get a deep fryer." Jaci dropped the Leek and Mushroom Croquettes in.

"She got money and connections." She hummed.

"You make her sound like a mob boss." She laughed.

"There was the teacher that wrongfully punished my mom. Next Monday, they were gone and never heard from again." She remembers her mother telling them the story.

"Stop, don't make me nervous." She rubs her arms.

"Oh my god, this is amazing." Rory and Lorelai ran over to them.

"Thanks, we're almost done cooking and we'll get to assembling soon." She put the steak on the side to rest. She stirred the pan that had onion caramelized in them. "Rory, can you give Naruto some water." She nods to the bowl that she made for him.

"Sure thing." She took him over to the bowl. "That's a lot of slobber." She shuffled her feet so he wouldn't drop on her.

Lorelai and Richard sat at the table. "How's that?" She pours a shot.

"That would be fine if we were in Utah." He grumbles.

"Message received." She filled it up to the top.

"Don't be drinking that. The girls made sangria." Emily gave him a cup.

"Oh, I'll take one too." Lorelai cheers.

"So what's on the menu?" Rory stood by the grill.

"Steak and blue cheese bruschetta with onion and roasted tomato jam, tortellini and shrimp skewers with sun-dried tomato sauce, and leek and mushroom croquettes." She told her.

"Seems like a lot of work." Rory didn't even know what a bruschetta was.

"It's only three things, they're just detailed." She shrugged.

"Rory, come meet my friends. They might be your professors one day." Richard pulled her away.

"How are you doing, Anna?" Emily sat down at the table.

"Good." She put the bruschetta on to be toasted.

"Don't be humble. She is the top of the class." Jaci stirs the tomato sauce.

"And Jess?" She asked.

Anna was hesitant. So, Jaci answered. "He's doing great. He's renovating a place to open up as a bookstore with his business partners."

"What?" Lorelai's jaw dropped.

"That's great." Emily smiled.

"It's going to be a publishing house, but you can't tell anyone. Jess doesn't want anyone to know. He thinks it'll jinx it." She was sworn to secrecy.

"Your grandpa is the same way. Don't want anyone to know about the big deals until the contracts are signed." Emily nods.

"I was meaning to ask you. How do you get through the lonely nights? Jess has been doing his day job and then working all night at the bookstore. Most of the time he sleeps there so he doesn't wake me when he comes in." She explained the situation. Lorelai was hurt that she was going to Emily for advice and not her.

"It's hard in the beginning because you want to play house with them. But, remember he's building a future for not just him and you, but for your future family. I've learned to deal with it by filling up my days with committees and charity work." Emily explains.

"My days are filled. I go to school and work. I take care of the garden and the animals. I want to unwind with someone when I come home. I've always come home to someone. It feels odd." She was fine being lonely for a few hours but all night for days at a time was uncomfortable.

"You should use the time to get to know yourself. Journal or watch what you can't when he's there. That's when I watch ballroom dancing." She advises.

"Get to know me." She repeated. Maybe that was the problem. She wasn't comfortable being alone with her thoughts. She should journal. "Thank you, grandma." She hugged her. Lorelai couldn't believe she was jealous of her mother.


After eating with the family. Rory and Lorelai were handing out food to people who passed by, so Jaci and Anna could walk around. She had Sasuke with her to stretch his legs. "I love tailgating." She bites into a rib.

"I know, free food that is amazing is rare." She bites into a chicken skewer.

"Oh, my," She turned to see a blonde older woman staring at her with wide eyes.

"Sorry." She used her napkin to wipe her mouth, thinking she offended her with her eating habits. She knew she probably had barbeque sauce all over her mouth from the ribs.

"No, I'm sorry. It's just you look exactly like someone I went to school with. Can I ask, are you related to Emily Gilmore?" She stared at the doppelganger.

"Oh yeah, that's my grandma. She's here if you want to say hi." She offers.

"That would be nice." She nods.

She guided the lady to the RV. "Hey Grandma, I met someone who wants to say Hi to you."

"Pennilyn Lott." Emily's shocked face made Anna realize she made a mistake.

"Hello, Richard, Emily." She smiles.

"Nice to see you." Richard stiffing up made the girls wonder who this woman could be.

"How are things?" She asks.

"Perfect. You?" Emily kept it short.

"Lovely. Work?" She kept it the same. Anna wonders why she said she wanted to say hi.

"Just fine. How is Stephen?" Richard answered since she had to be talking to him. Emily's fake smile dropped at the tactical move.

"Oh, you know." She shrugged.

"He knows." Jaci mouths to Anna. She nudged her friend to be quiet.

"This is our daughter, Lorelai. Our granddaughter Rory. You meet our other granddaughter Anna and her friend Jaci." She introduced them.

"Hello." She nods to get a wave from them.

"It's been so long, we must catch up." Emily's eyes said to drop dead.

"You'll call." She plays along.

"Of course." She nods.

"Oh wait, are you Pennilyn Lott, my dad's college sweetheart?" Lorelai pops up, stopping her from leaving.

"Jesus," Anna calls to a higher power for her mother to read the room.

"Yes." She nods.

"That would make you my almost mommy." She smiles.

"Well, I suppose you could say that." She laughed.

"She has lost her mind," Anna whispered. Jaci nods in agreement.

"I'm so glad to finally meet you. I can finally ask you, would you have let me get a pony?" She asks with seriousness.

"I'm sorry, this is her third sangria." Anna pushed her mom to sit down.

"I'll call you, Pennilyn." Emily was ready to send her away.

"I'm looking forward to it." She walks away.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know who she was. She said I looked a lot like you, so I thought she was your old friend. I wouldn't have if I knew she was Grandpa's ex." She apologized for bringing her over.

"It's fine dear, you are not the one that embarrassed the family." She turned to her daughter. "Does anything work above your neck? What were you thinking?"

"I was just trying to talk to her." She defends herself.

"We don't talk to Pennily Lott. We run into her once a year. We say hello, and goodbye. We do not have conversations, we do not talk about our lives. We do not joke about Pennilyn Lott. We do not refer to Pennilyn Lott as anything but Pennilyn Lott. I would appreciate it if you remembered that." She said the name with more venom each time she said it. She turns to make another sangria.

"Why did I get into such trouble when you brought her over?" She pouts.

"I'm not the one that called her mommy…. Don't speak of this again." She side-eyes her grandma who was pretending not to hear them.


"Dan." They heard someone yell.

"He's not Dan." She thought someone was mistaking Naruto for the mascot again.

"No, it's the real Dan." Richard jumped up from his seat. "Get his bone, Emily."

"I thought we already met Dan." Lorelai was confused.

"This is the current Dan." Emily grabs the dog treat from her purse.

"No wonder Naruto was begging." She thought it odd how he stuck by her side.

"Here you go, Dan." She gave the dog his bone. The dog wiggles his butt while taking the treat. "Enjoy it now. I just show your future and it ain't good." Lorelai bent down to tell him. She kept telling him to make a run of it.

"Is your dog friendly? Dan likes making doggy friends." The dog handle asked.

"Naruto is the definition of friendly." Naruto brought over one of his toys. The dogs played tug-a-war.

"Anna. Mom." Rory called for them.

"I got him." Richard took the leash.

They went over to see Rory standing with a man. "Marty, this is my mom, Lorelai, and my sister, Anna."

"Oh, naked guy!" Anna yelled.

"You told your sister about me." He forced a smile.

"And her mother." Lorelai raises her hand.

"I include some anecdotes where you were clothed too." She gave them a look.

"I'm going to remember the funniest one." She wiggles her eyebrows.

"Who is this young man?" Richard and Emily came over.

"This is Marty. He lives in my residence hall." She told them.

"Nice to meet you, Marty." Emily smiles.

"Why did my granddaughter call you, naked guy?" He wonders.

"I now owe you money," Rory told him.

"I had an unfortunate experience with a keg and a party and needed to take my clothes off and fall asleep in the hallway." He couldn't believe he had to tell this story to strangers.

"Oh my goodness," Emily gasps.

"Please that's nothing, I was naked an entire month during my sophomore year." He was unimpressed.

"What?" Rory was shocked.

"For what reason?" Anna stared up at him, shocked.

"Welcome to tonight's episode of things I didn't need to know about my father." Lorelai put on an announcer's voice.

"I and a group of like-minded young men decide to protest the new dress code by wearing silk ties and nothing else. We were written up by the Dean of admissions and threatened with explosions. We were also very popular with the ladies." He brags.

"Get it, Stud." Anna laughed at the horror of her mother and grandmother. Marty and Rory laughed.

"My granddaughter calls her grandfather a stud, just what every grandmother hopes for." Emily was also embarrassed that this was happening in front of a stranger.

"One night in the hallways does not a true naked guy make, my friend." He teased.

"If you want that name Marty, you're going to earn it, strip right now." Anna giggled.

"Ignore them, would you like to eat, Marty." Emily is always the perfect host.

"Oh, I would love to. It looks amazing, but I have to go. There is a party going on, on the lawn. I came to get Rory to see if she wanted to stop by for a bit." He invited her.

"Oh, I can't." She declines.

"Nonsense, of course, you can. Go visit your friends, I insist." He wanted her to experience this with her friends too.

"Are you sure?" She asks.

"We have plenty of time until kickoff." He nods.

"Jaci, can you make them a plate?" Emily gasps when she turns to see her with a container in hand. "You have been able to anticipate all my needs today. If you ever need a job, I always need a good cook." She took it to hand it to Marty.

"Thank you. It was nice meeting you." He made eye contact with all of them. "Obi-wan." He bowed to Richard.

He bowed back while humming. "I like that boy." Richard watches Rory and her friend walk away.

"Prove it, drop your pants," Lorelai demands.

"Alright, it's time to go to the ladies' room." Emily looked at her watch.

"What? Is there a memo I didn't get?" She wonders why her mom schedules that.

"It's an hour before kick off the lines won't be long. Grab your purse, you'll thank me later." She walks off.

"You don't need to go to the bathroom." She looks at the other two females.

"There's one in the RV, so she must want you to experience the Yale bathroom." Anna shrugged. She sighed before running after her mom.

Someone yelled Richard's name. "Oh, if you excuse me." He went to see a friend.

"A compliment from Emily Gilmore is high praise. I would put that on my resume." Anna smiled.

"Oh, if I ever apply in Connecticut I will." She laughs.


Anna was walking to the RV with Sasuke and Naruto. She took them to relieve their bladders. Jaci ran up to her. "You don't want to go back there." She pants.

"Why?" She looks to see her mom and grandma arguing.

"Lorelai talked to Pennilyn Lott again. She knew about the Inn so Emily confronted Richard and he's been having lunch with her." She informs her.

After her mom walks off, she continues to the RV. "We gotta get back, she'd be angry if we aren't doing what she hired us for." After putting the animals in the RV, she walks over to her grandma. "So, I know I'm not old enough to drink but can I learn the famous Emily Gilmore's, Blood Mary."

"Alright, but you must promise to not drink it until you're 21." She wanted to do something to take her mind off of her husband's betrayal.

"Scouts honor." She salutes.

"You're not a scout and I don't think they salute." She rolled her eyes.

"Well, then pinky swear." She stuck out her pinky. Emily looked at it for a second before wrapping her pinky with hers.

"Jaci comes, you can learn too." She waves for her granddaughter's friend to come over.

"Thank you." She hurried.


During the game, Jaci and Anna were drinking and cooking. They were dancing around to Whitney Houston. "Oh, I wanna dance with somebody. I wanna feel the heat with somebody." Jaci uses tongs as a microphone.

"Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody. With somebody who loves me." Anna spins her around. They continued to fool around until the song ended. Clapping and whistling made them aware of the world around them.

"Hello, we hope you enjoy the show." She curtsies.

"We definitely did." The blonde snickers.

"So, what do you lovely ladies have here?" An Australian accent came out of the messy-haired brunette.

"We got steak and blue cheese bruschetta with onion and roasted tomato jam, tortellini and shrimp skewers with sun-dried tomato sauce, and leek and mushroom croquettes." Jaci named the fancy appetizers that Emily requested.

"My personal favorite is the sangria." She points to the large punch bowl.

"We definitely have to get a glass of that. I'm Colin." The neat hair brunette introduced himself and then his friends. "This is Logan and Finn."

Anna poured them a glass while Jaci made each of them a plate with every appetizer on it. "I'm Jaci and this is Anna." She passes them a plate while Anna hands them the glass.

"I don't think I've seen any of you beautiful women around here. What parties do you go to?" Logan sips the alcohol.

"Oh, we don't go to Yale." She shook her head. "My sister does. My grandparents did, they asked us to cook for the tailgate."

"We were hired for this tailgate. We are getting paid." She raised her glass. Anna laughed and clinked it with her.

"This is good." Finn's eyes widened when he took a bite of the bruschetta.

"Gillespie's finest." Jaci dusted her shoulder off.

"Not yet, but we will be." Anna dusted Jaci's other shoulder.

"Gillespie's. I've been there. The food is amazing." Colin smiles. "Do you ladies want to come to our after-party?"

"Sure, can our partners come?" Jaci smiled.

"Ummm…. Yeah, yeah, that's cool." He nods.

The girls laughed as the guys backed away slowly. "He didn't tell us a place or give us his number." Anna gasps.

"I know it's so weird." She went to track three on the mix cd to play, Drop it like it Hot.
