-Gilmore Girls-
Rory Gilmore was exhausted; she was tired of the facade. She hated that she had to do it and wanted to go back, she wanted her life back. The Rory Gilmore that everyone at Yale knew was different to the normal Rory Gilmore. The Yale Rory Gilmore acted virginal, got straight A's and blushed at everything; many even considered her a virgin. But that wasn't her; she wanted her old self back again. So while when she stumbled upon the phrase In Omnia Paratuis she knew she could use it to her advantage. Rory knew all about the Life and Death Brigade and the fact that they had three different chapters; the Yale chapter, the Princeton one as well as the Harvard chapter. This was the first time she was going to be able to do something that was more like her then she has done in the past year, she had to go to an event no matter what the cost. She could use her story as a cover up for wanting to go and enjoy her old lifestyle. After all no one in Yale knows who she is or her real identity. So that is how she found herself leaning on a building waiting for Logan Huntzberger and his two best friends, Finn the drunken Aussie and Colin the guy with a stick permanently shoved up his ass.
"Logan" Rory called out to get his attention and it worked. He and his friends immediately stopped.
"You waiting for me?" he smirked at her as he stepped closer to her
Rory had to contain her eye roll, "I could be" she said slyly as she tilted her head to the side, "Heard of the Life and Death Brigade?" she asked and she watched Colin's head pop up and Finns eyes bulge out of his head while Logan kept his cool.
"I've never heard of it Ace," he lied but Rory knew the truth. Her father and grandfathers have told her stories about their adventures in the Life and Death Brigade with Logan's father and grandfather
"I bet you haven't Logan, it is a secret society and all but your family has a legacy there, as do your sidekicks" she said as she pointed to Colin and Finn. She tried not to laugh at Colin who looked so pale he was about to pass out.
Finn decided to come forward to stand next to Logan, "I am sorry love we have no clue what you are talking about" he said in his thick Australian accent.
"Oh really well the founders of the Life and Death Brigade are Rothschild, McRae, Huntzberger, Vanderbilt, Gilmore and Hayden, am I correct?" she asked innocently.
Colin spoke up for the first time, "Let's talk about this elsewhere, shall we?" he offered, not wanting to have this conversation out in public.
Rory nodded and Finn held his arm out to her which she accepted and they led her to the campus pub.
After a round of drinks Colin began to talk, "Okay, so you know about the founders and I am guessing you have other information on the LDB?" he asked and Rory nodded, so he continued "What is it that you want?" Colin asked
"To go to an event, but I will agree to your conditions of course" she offered something in their favour so that they would agree.
"No, no, no. We can't let an outsider into our events" Colin said being snobby, as per usual. But Rory smirked, "I guess it helps that I am not an outsider, I never introduced myself properly, Rory Gilmore"
Colin jaw hit the table so Rory helped him out by leaning over the table and gently pushing his chin up to close his mouth, Finn was the first one to regain his speech, "You are the Gilmore legacy?" he asked and Rory nodded, "Oh shit" Colin said
"So I guess I can come to an event?" she asked and Logan just looked at Colin who nodded, Logan stated the rules, "No cell phone, no pictures, no names and no description of our location, do you agree?" he asked and Rory nodded.
"We will contact you soon, our next event isn't until another week and a half but maybe we could get to know you better before then, love?" Finn asked and Rory got up to kiss him right under his ear and walked off leaving the boys stunned.
-Gilmore Girls-
As Rory walked off she felt good, she felt like her old self again, she missed that. She missed her best friends that she never got to see. The weekend that the Life and Death Brigade event is on is the weekend of her parents' anniversary and since her mum can't fly because she is six months pregnant her dad is taking her to New York for their anniversary.
-Gilmore Girls-
Two days later Logan Huntzberger walks into the Yale Daily News on a mission, to try and convince Rory Gilmore to go to the pub with them so they can get to know her better. All of the boys thought that she would make a nice part of their group and they all liked her wit. Logan found her typing furiously on her computer, "Hey Ace" he said and Rory nodded in response so he continued, "We are going to the pub, want to come with?" he asked and Rory finally looked up from her computer, "Yep sure" she said as she saved her work and shut down her computer. Logan held out his hand to her and she accepted as they made their way to the pub, giving Rory the feeling of déjà vu.
When the two had entered the pub they spotted the rest of the group; Finn, Colin, Steph and Rosemary. When Rory sat down someone placed a shot of tequila in front of her and all she wanted to do was drink it and order another, but that was a different Rory, "I'll have a chocolate martini" she said to a passing waitress who nodded and got the rest of the tables order.
"So love, tell us about you" Finn asked and Rory thought about what she had to tell him, so she gave him the half truth.
"Well I grew up in Stars Hollow, a small town about a half hour away from Hartford" That was sort of true. When Rory was thirteen her mum and dad got married so she moved away from Stars Hollow and to Hartford, "I am journalism major and a business minor" That was another lie because she was a law major and an insurance minor, as to appease both sides of the family with whom she got along with famously because she was taking over the companies in both those names; Dragonfly Group, Gilmore Group, Gilmore Accounting, Hayden Law, CRL Technologies and Hayden Enterprises, "I was valedictorian at Chilton prep academy and so know I am here at Yale" she finished up the brief version of her life. She had practiced it so many times for the people that she meets at Yale.
"Your mum was the one who wanted out of society?" Steph asked and Rory nodded, by then the waitress had arrived with their drinks and it took all of Rory's will power not to drink it in one go.
"So what is this event?" Rory asked wanting to know more.
Colin sighed as he told her, "It starts in a week, we will pick you up on Friday and return you the next. We are staying at a previous member's house which has lots of bedrooms, he has a daughter but he said that she won't be home for that particular time period. We are going to drink and get drunk; there are loads of rooms in the house so I am sure there will be enough for all of the LDB. I planned it all out" Colin said proudly and Steph patted him on the back.
"Well it has been great fun seeing you and I can't wait till the event" Rory said as she got up and threw a fifty on the table to cover her drink and she walked off. Only six days and she would be back to her normal self.
-Gilmore Girls-
"I like her" Steph announced after Rory walked away.
"Me too" Logan said and his three best friends just looked at him like he had three heads, "You like her" Colin accused.
"Colin please, this is me we are talking about. As if" Logan said and then he really began to think about it, maybe she might be worth getting to know a little better
"Yes and do you forget how well we know you?" Steph asked as she looked over at Finn who was hitting on a red head.
"I just think that we would make good friends, she fits in that's all" Logan insisted.
-Gilmore Girls-
Just before Logan was coming to pick Rory up she called her mum, "Fruit of my lions" her mother's happy voice was on the other end of the phone.
"Mummy" Rory said
"Are you sure you are going to be okay while your dad and I are away?" Lorelai asked sceptically
"Mum, I am going to be fine. I will be busy doing something for the paper" Rory told her mother
"Okay baby girl, I want you to have fun, I am definitely not liking the new you, I want the old one back" her mother told her. It was safe to say that Rory's parents where easy going but Rory changed from who she was to the person she is today and everyone wants her back, especially her parents and best friends
"You and your hormones" Rory stated and her mother laughed. Lorelai was usually very unique, so of course her pregnancies where unique too.
"Of course baby girl, your dad and I are leaving tonight so I won't see you until next week, but call your darling mummy and tell her about the stuff going on in your life. Any new boy toys I should know about?" Lorelai requested.
"You wish mummy, may I remind you that you are happily married and pregnant with your second child?" Rory asked
"I am sure your dad won't mind sharing me" Lorelai said and Rory heard him tell her mother off that she was all his. Rory smiled at the thought of her family, she wouldn't have it any other way.
I love you mummy, say hi to dad for me" she said.
"We love you kiddo" her dad's voice rang through the phone and they hung up.
Rory's next phone call was to her realtor. Rory had a realtor because between the Gilmore and Hayden name that was too many properties to even count and her grandfathers where always acquiring new properties, "Hello Rory" the voice of her realtor, Sally Morgan answered. Rory was on good terms with most of her employees out of her offices; in there she had to be intimidating otherwise nothing would get done.
"Hey Sal" Rory responded
"What can I do for you?" Sally asked. She was in quite a rush but the Gilmore Hayden's are rich and they pay a lot for houses and estates so her pay check goes through the roof.
"Well... I am thinking of transferring to Harvard, well you know how it was my dream but this was closer to home but I miss my friends and my old life" Rory said
"Ror, that is great I miss the old you, everyone does. You are still as nice, considerate and studious as you were but the old you had a perfect balance of the two. I'm glad she is coming back" Sally exclaimed.
"Well I want a penthouse apartment that isn't more than ten minutes away from campus with seven bedrooms in total. I think that you will have to get me two apartments but they need to be in the same building and preferably not needing a key so the elevators must open to the top floor and the second top floor is it doable?" Rory asked her realtor
"Yes I think so, there is one apartment that has just been put on the market that fits those needs, it has; four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a kitchen, a large lounge room, coat closet, pantry and loads of closet space. I just need to see if there is one in the same building that is similar. I am assuming that you would want the penthouse apartment?" Sally asked and Rory agreed. After a few minutes they rang off because Sally had to find her apartment for Rory because Rory requested for it to be done as quickly as possible.
Just then Logan appeared with a blindfold in hand at her window. Rory sighed and opened it to allow him in, he put the blindfold around her eyes and picked up her bag with one hand and held her hand with the other because he was directing her to where she was going or she would most definitely fall.
Logan helped Rory get into Finn's SUV and then he got in after her. "Is the blindfold secured?" Colin asked
"Yes" Logan responded
"Hey Colin, where is Finn and Steph?" Rory asked.
"She can see!" Colin exclaimed and Rory rolled her eyes
"I do have ears Colin and I recognise your voice" She said as Finn let out a moan, "What's wrong with Finn?" she asked
"It is to bloody bright, our sun needs to be darker" Finn insisted even though he was mostly talking to himself.
"Um... Okay" This Rory didn't know how to respond to his comment but the old Rory had a comeback ready in hand.
"So Rory are you prepared for what the LDB might have in store for you?" Stephanie asked
Rory rolled her eyes, the old her was better at this life then the four that were sitting in that very car, "I think I can handle it" she smirked.
Twenty minutes later they reached their destination, to say Rory was surprised would be an understatement when the blindfold came off and she was staring at her house. She was at the Hayden estate, but now she got worried. What if some of her staff recognised her, she would have to find Eliza and tell her to spread the word to the household staff that no one is to recognise her. Rory was pulled out of her thoughts by Logan Huntzberger, "It is a massive house isn't it Ace?" he asked and Rory nodded, "Well you get to use their daughter's bedroom, it is the only one left"
Rory smiled, she got to sleep in her own bed that night, "Perfect" she said as they walked into the house.
As soon as they walked into the house you could see the party going on in full swing. Rory had been informed that every day they would be using a different part of the estate for the festivities, today was inside in the lounge room. Unlike most Hartford society houses this one was modern and had the homey feeling to it, just like Rory and Lorelai wanted. As expected as soon as the door opened Eliza came to the front door, she saw me and her eyes widened. I shook my head at her and discreetly placed a finger over my lips so that she would get the message, she looked at the ceiling and then down to her toes to show me that she saw. Luckily for us no one saw the exchange between us.
"Hello I am Eliza, if there is anything you wish please request it, hopefully I can make your stay at the Hayden home enjoyable" she smiled and grinned back. All of our staff is trained well.
"Hi, I am Logan Huntzberger, this is Finn, Colin, Steph and Rory" he motioned to us all.
"Shall I show you to your rooms?" Eliza offered and the other four declined as they wanted to join the party straight away but Rory accepted so that she could have a chance to talk to Eliza.
As soon as the two were safely in Rory's room Eliza closed and looked the door before she turned to Rory, "Care to explain?" she asked
Rory took a deep breath, "Well they don't know that I am a Hayden, or about my past. They think I am the virginal girl who never parties" she watched Eliza roll her eyes, Rory partied and she partied good but she never lost sight of what was important. She was kind, generous, smart, and beautiful and would listen to what others had to say, everyone would say that she was perfect. No matter how much Rory partied or slept around everyone thought of her like she was a princess, she could have two personalities and mix them into one making her totally and utterly unique. "So can you please spread around to the staff that here I am Rory Gilmore and to not say anything suspicious?" Rory asked of her maid knowing that she would agree.
"Of course, but I will make sure that you have a steaming cup of coffee for when you wake up" she smiled and then walked out of the room leaving Rory to just sit on her bed. Her room was exactly as she left it, it wasn't pink or girly, and it was just her and her personality that reflected in her room as well as every other room in their house.
After freshening up a little bit Rory went downstairs with a pen and notebook in hand. She immediately found Colin and Finn so she decided to stick with their group; they seemed like the most fun. Rory was definitely right; Finn was re-enacting the Passion of the Christ very early off in the evening because he was drunk beyond belief.
Rory got little cooperation from the group but that was to be expected, the article wasn't the real reason why she wanted to attend so badly. Logan found her sitting on the lounge and handed her a flute of champagne which she drank quickly and smiled at him in appreciation, "So Ace how is it going?" Logan asked trying to make conversation with her
"It is okay, I haven't had a lot of cooperation but I am pretty sure that even from one day I have enough for my article, by the end of the week I can probably write a book" she smiled
"Probably, shall we go find the boys?" he asked and Rory nodded, placing her now empty flute down on the coffee table and she followed Logan.
Logan led her to where Finn, Colin and Steph were. Colin was pissy and stealing looks at Stephanie's flavour of the week, it is so obvious that they are both attracted to each other but they won't do anything to show it to each other, pathetic really. Finn's shirt was off so everyone had a good look at his tanned and toned Aussie torso. Rory was about to go up and get a drink when from the top of the stairs all they heard was a screeching voice that caused everyone to stop what they were doing and turn off the music, "What the fuck is going on here?"
