Inside the Gilmore's Kitchen Lorelai is seated at the table drinking coffee as Rory walks into the kitchen and closes her bedroom door on loud music.

"Hey. I have an idea for a new reality show. How about everyone just looks out their freakin' kitchen window for a change?"

"Ooh. She's cranky this morning." smirks Tina as she enters the Kitchen pouring herself a cup of coffee.

"Let's just say the world has a formidable opponent."

"Wait -- shouldn't you be baking?" an alarmed Rory asks her mother

"I don't know. Shouldn't you be knitting?" adds their mum, as if Tina or Rory would ever knit.

"Mom! The Chilton bake sale is today!" yells Tina suddenly worried that they are going to be the only ones with no baked goods.

"I know. I got it covered." shrugs Lorehai as if it is nothing to worry about.

"They expect the things to be homemade." as Tina gets up to put her coffee mug in the sink.

"I know."

Turning back around to face then both Tina comments "By someone other than Dolly Madison."

"I said I have it covered." a frustrated Lorehai answers

"All of the parents pitch in so this is really really important. You know that, right?"

"Yeah mum, if you don't have anything I will disown you" states Tina as she looks down at her watch to see how much time she has before school.

"No, I didn't know that. In that case I don't have it covered. I have it covered! Get your stuff and hit the stereo -- we're late." yells Lorehai as Tina walks into the living room to grab her bag then waits on the porch for Rory so they can walk to the bus stop together. Saying good bye to Lane the Gilmore's run into Babette and Morey who are pulling a wagon with Cinnamon inside.

"Wow, Cinnamon, riding in style." comments Rory earning a wolf whistle from Tina.

"Yeah, Morey made it. Cinnamon's not walking good these days but she still likes her passeggiatas. That's Italian for 'a nice walk.'" Babette told the girls if only Tina found someone who loved her even half as much as cinnamon was then she would be happy.

"Passeggiata." adds Morey with an accent

"Oh God, he makes it sound so sexy."

"Come on."

"What's that?" her mother asks pointing to the enclosed air of the wagon.

"Oh it's Cinnamon's private area. Sometimes she likes to be alone. She's just like Morey in that sense." comments Babette then turns to Morey "Hey, say passaggiata again."

"I can't do it on command, Babs." bring a smile to Tina's face at how perfect they are together.

"Oh, he's blushin'. God, I love a man that blushes!" smiles Babette as her and Morey walk away pulling the wagon along with them.

"Okay, our town is just weird." States Rory

"Your just figuring that out now Rory" getting a shake of the head from Tina. As the twins go to leave for the bus stop Rory calls out "we"ll see you later at school."

"For what?" jokes Lorehai acting like she has no idea what the girls are on about.

"Mom, the bake sale!" Yells Tina as she starts walking away with Rory following behind.

XOXOXOXO

Both Tina and Rory are sitting at the bus stop waiting for the bus when it pulls around the corner and stops in front of both. Dean is walking down the street and sees Rory get on the bus as well as unknown Chilton girl as he has yet to meet Tina. Getting onto the bus the twin sit side by side with Rory at the window seat. Getting on the bus Dean sits behind the twins as Rory opens her book and beings to read not noticing him their while Tina can see someone looking at them.

"Hey." a smirking dean says as he sticks as head in between the two.

Letting out a scream that attracted many peoples stares Rory greets him "Morning." but still not daring to look at him.

"Good book and who is this you look familler?" asked Dean keen to get to know the girl he fancies.

"I don't know yet and this is my sister Christina but we call her Tina." gaining a wave and nod of the head from Tina.

"I saw you standing in line so I thought I'd say hello." before pausing "Hello?"

"Hello." answers Rory still holding her bag tightly to her and still too scared to look at Dean

"Oh, hey, uh, thanks for helping me get the job at the store. I mean it's not a career or anything but it's got me solvent."

"Solvent's good."

"Yeah, uh, are you always this serious?" asked Dean while Tina is trying not to laugh at her sisters failed conversation with Dean.

"No."

"So, uh, how long does it take you to get to school?" questioning Dean trying to get Rory to talk more.

"Um...forty minutes if the bus driver's focused but longer if he's trying to win something on the radio. Hey, this bus is going to Hartford!"

"WOW Rory I thought the bus was going to Australia" exclaimed Tina making fun of her sister.

"Yeah, I know." answered Dean

"But you go to school here. You have to get off the bus!" as she yells to the driver "Hey, he has to get off the bus!"

Looking at her sister she can't believe that Rory forgot that buses stop "Wait. You're forgetting something." smirks Dean as the bus comes to a stop

"Buses make stops. Good-bye Lorelai Gilmore and nice to meet you Tina." grins Dean as he hops off the bus. Looking over at her sister who is blushing she asks "You like him don't you"

"What, no" answers Rory as she quickly looks out the window ignoring Tina as she made kissing noises.

XOXOXOXO

At the Chilton Bake sale the three Gilmore's are crowded around their tables of baked goods watching Sookie explain the themes. "OK-- we've got our French fantasies, American treats, and our Italian taste sensations. Well, what do you think?"

"Amazing."

"Incredible."

"I think I just died and went to heaven, Sookie you are amazing" adds Tina who is really in heaven.

"It is good, isn't it? Well, final touch." comments Sookie as she prepares to light the swan-shaped dessert on fire.

"Oh, can I do that?" smiles Rory while Tina jumps up and down "pick me, pick me"

"Whoa, honey bears, this is a more delicate procedure than you might think, OK?"

"OK." mumbles a disappointed Tina gaining a comforting side hug from her mum.

"It takes an expert hand." as Sookie accidentally lights the tablecloth on fire seeing the fire Lorelai fills a cup with lemonade from a nearby table and extinguishes the flames. earning dirty looks from the women at the lemonade table.

"Um -- hi. Oh, well, gee...what is that, a dollar? Let me find you a dollar." as Lorelai looks in her pockets for a dollar, while Tina teachers into her pockets pulling out three dollars handing them to her mum "You know what? We'll take three" as the girls drunk the Lemonade in front of the ladies "Mmm...tasty and flame-retardant." added Lorehai.

"Wow this is amazing" as Tina grabs her mum arm before catching sight of Matt quickly walking off leaving her mum with Mr Medina.

XOXOXOXO

At Chilton Tina was walking to the courtyard that she had just seen Matt walk into before she nearly screams when an arm is placed on her shoulders causing her to jump before turning around to see Matt's Perfect face. "Why did you do that, I could have had a heart attack you know and I don't want to die today" questioned Tina who's heart was still beating way to fast after being scared.

"Will I wasn't the one stalking other people" spoke Matt causing Tina to Blush bright red relising that he knew she was following you.

"As if me following you, I think you are going insane"

"Well then I guess you just magically found me" getting a nod of the head from Tina

"Yeah it's magic you know like Harry Potter stuff, have you read Harry Potter's it's great, like life changing" realizing that she is rambling she stopped talking looking like a deer caught in the headlights before smiling sheepishly "Sorry I just can't stop talking sometimes"

Shaking his head with a laugh Matt responds to the girl that always seems to make him smile "Well I have to get going but I will call you later so I will see you then" before walking back to the bake sales leaving a dazed Tina standing alone in the courtyard with butterfly's in her stomach and a blinding smile on her face.

XOXOXOXO

As the Gilmore's girls are pulling into their driveway they see a Stars Hollow Animal Hospital van in the driveway as the three girls cross the yard and go to Babette's. Inside Babette's house, Cinnamon's body is lying on the floor covered by a sheet leaving Tina to hold back tears. The vet is just standing up as the girls enter the house. "Babette? Honey?" Lorehai called sympathy written all over her face while Tina stood behind her mother trying not to cry as Cinnamon had been in Stars Hollow longer then she could remember and Tina could not picture the town with out her Cinnamon was a loved cat.

"Oh, Lorelai. Come in, come in. She's gone. Cinnamon's gone." cry's Babette as she gives Tina a hug. "I'm so sorry." expressers Lorehai as Rory takes a sit next to Morey while Tina hold Babette's hand.

"Is there anything I can do for you, Morey?" asked Rory

"This is life, Rory, it breaks your heart."

"She looked like she was sleeping. I thought she was asleep so I nudged her and she didn't wake. I gave her a push and she rolled off the couch and since I waxed the floor she went shootin' across the room and then she knocked over the lamp and she still didn't move. I knew it was over. Oh, God, my baby." cry's Babette

"Tell me it wasn't the --" asks Morey before Babette cuts him off.

"Oh, Morey, don't do this to yourself. He thinks it was the clams."

"She saw me eating them and she gave me that 'hey, man, what's up?' look and --" adds a heartbroken Morey.

"It wasn't the clams. Morey, in human years this cat was 260 years old." the vet informs the couple

"That's a good, long life." Tina managers to say

"Listen, why don't you let me take her out to the van and then I'll get out of your way." the vet suggests.

"Oh, no, stay. All of you, please stay. Cinnamon would want you here."

"We'll stay as long as you want." smiles Rory

"I'll never eat clams again." mumbles Morey

"Me either." frowns Tina as Rory pats Morey's arm.

XOXOXOXO

Later on Babette's house is now full of mourners, with more arriving as time goes on Tina greets the mourners. Looking around she see's Dean and her sister talking. After Rory's talk with Dean Tina meets Rory at the window when they both look out to see Mr Medina knocking at their front door "Mom? Isn't that --" asks Rory worried as to why her teacher is making a trip to her house.

"Oh, no." comments Lorehai trying to get the girls away from the window as she has yet to let them know about her and Max's date.

"That's Mr. Medina." yells Tina

"Tonight's Thursday!" mumbleds Lorehai getting a "Yeah it's Thursday" from Tina

"Well, am I in trouble? Did the school call or something?" a worried Rory asked, is she going to be kicked out of school or something.

"No, no you're great, Tina's great. I -- um -- let me just come back in just one second." frowns Lorehai as she try's to walk away only to be called back up her youngest daughter "Wait -- what's going on?"

"Let me tell you in a minute." as Lorehai try's to move past the girls but they are not giving up.

"Tell me now." demands Rory gaining a "Yeah, right now" from her sister.

"Max is here --" starts Lorehai only to be cut off by Rory.

"Max?"

"Max is here to pick me up." adds Lorehai feeling guilty that this is the way that the girls are going to find out.

"Pick you up for -- oh." frowns Tina

"I'm gonna go talk to him real quick and I'm gonna be right back." as Lorehai runs outside to the porch where Mr Medina is leaving the two girls upset. Suddenly not feeling in the mood for a wake anymore Tina sneaks back into her house though the back door as she does not want to speak to her mum right now or even see Mr Medina. Opening the door and walking into the frimilar house she hears the phone ring, quickly picking up the phone so her mum doesn't hear she answers "Hey this is Tina what's up"

"Wow that's probably the best opening phone statement I have ever heard" comments the voice without saying their name but Tina knows who it is straight away

"Well if it isn't Mr Rothschild, what's up" asks Tina as she makes her way up to her bedroom.

"Not much I was bored so I thought why not call Tina"

"Well that's nice..." comments Tina before she goes silents as she see's Mr Medina's car leaving their driveway.

"Tina are you still there"

"Yeah it has just been a crazy night you would never believe what has happened" frowned Tina as today was just crazy.

"Try me" answers Matt

"Ok, you asked for it well my neighbours cat died and I have know that Cat since I moved into my house, then we held a funeral wake thing for the cat then I found out that Mr Medina and my mum have this thing going on like they were going to go out on a date" breaths Tina as it felt good to get that off her chest, before remembering that she proberly shouldn't tell people about her mum and her tacher.

"Wait don't tell anyone about my mum and Mr Medina it's just embarrassing" a worried Tina asks

"Don't worry I will not tell a soul" explains matt as Tina hears her name being called down stairs.

"Hey Matt I have to go my mum is calling but thanks for calling you have made me feel as much better"

"Well I'm glad I did it was fun talking I will see you at school bye Tina"

"Bye Matt" as they hang up, hearing her mum calling she goes down stairs. "I have been looking all over for you Tina"

"Well I was in my room the whole time or where you too busy dating my teacher" yells Tina

"Listen, I have some explaining to do. OK. So sit down on the couch and I'm gonna do it right now" as Tina moves to sit down on the couch. "That man on the porch was your teacher."

"Mum, I'm a not the twin that is behind at school and I know who the teacher is. So?" Ask Tina still upset that her mum wouldn't tell her this they told each other everything.

"So -- um -- he and I were going to sort of hang out together." Stutters Lorehai not sure how to say it

"On a date."

"No, on a -- something that could appear like a date to the untrained eye." Turning to her mum she's not angry more sad that she wasn't told.

"To your daughter's eye?" Wonders Tina

"It was a date." Admitted Lorehai

"How long have you been dating him?" Questions Tina

"I haven't. This was gonna be the first time."

"And when were you planning on telling me about this -- your wedding or where you hoping that I never noticed" frowned Tina

"No -- by the rehearsal dinner at least." Her mum try's to joke

"He's my teacher." Yells Tina why of all the people in the world why her teacher.

"I know." mumbles her mum

"He teaches me things every day in a very small classroom with a lot of other kids who probably won't be high-fiving me when they find this out and I'm fitting in there I don't want to be known as the girl who's mum is sleeping with the teacher" says Tina as she grabs s pillow from the couch and pulling it closer.

"I know, sweetie, and I told him this was one of the things I was concerned about."

"And?" Ponders Tina

"And he thought we could be discreet."

"Unbelievable of course he would say that he wants to date you"

"Are you mad?"

"Yes!"

"Alright. Because I'm dating him"

"Yes" yelled Tina as she got up to walk to the stairs "I'm going to bed and I'm not ok with you dating my teacher"

"Oh hunny please, Rory give me her blessing I just need yours"  turning around seeing her mums pleading face.

"Fine you can date him but there is going to be ground rules" seeing her mums nodding her head she continues "I don't want to see him, I know that may seem harsh but he is my teacher"

Looking at her youngest daughter Lorehai answers "fair enough"

"Second he gets no say in my life like it you got serious he still had no say in my life and lastly I don't want him talking to me outside of school hours"

Looking at her youngest knowing that this was the only way that she would agreed she nodded her head as Tina made her way up stairs.
