Christmas had come and gone for the little town of Stars Hallow and soon the snow and ice had thawed creating a way for Spring to slowly step in its place.
Not much had happened over the course of two months. Early January there had been the towns annual 'Firelight Festival' where Gen had dragged Tristan to (seeing as he was in town for winter break). They double dated with Bailey and her boyfriend where the couples had run into Rory followed by Jess, Dean, and his little annoying sister, Clara.
The twins' great-grandmother, Lorelai Gilmore the first also arrived to celebrate Richard's sixtieth birthday. At the dinner, Gen conversed happily with her great-grandmother about her college plans, senior year, and gran's life in England. Gen was named after Richard's mom. Her middle name was Genevieve. Her great-grandmother had also been on the track team back in her youth, of course, this was when girls were starting to join men's sports, so her grandmother had received quite a bit of backlash.
A couple of weeks later, Rory had a falling out with Paris because Francie (a wannabee popular) had staged a coup to make it look like Rory betrayed Paris. There was a huge fight in fencing class and Rory came home in a bad mood. The next day, Francie found frogs in her locker along with a threatening note with the initials G.L.G
Things at the Gilmore house hadn't been quiet either. Emily had been sued by a former maid and asked Genevieve and Lorelai to make a statement on her behalf. Gen happily agreed while Lorelai drug her feet in the sand about it.
Now, it was nearing the end of February, and the three Gilmore girls were standing in front of their garage getting ready to clean it to let Lane's band practice.
"I say three years."
"My bet is four."
"What? It has not been four years since we stepped foot inside our garage." Lorelai turned and looked at her daughters.
Rory nodded her head. "That's right. It was when we got the jeep."
"That wasn't-yes it was." Lorelai pouted at the fact they hadn't cleaned the garage in four years. Their mom refused to park in the garage instead on the driveway.
"Ok, then let's get to it." Gen grabbed a couple of boxes, a broom, duster, and some cleaning towels.
"On three." Rory said.
"One, two three!" The three girls pulled open the door to see boxes stacked practically to the ceiling. Rory and Gen's old bikes, a couple of Christmas trees, old lamps, and even some broken chairs Lorelai hadn't bothered getting rid of.
"Oh my gosh!" Rory exclaimed pointing to a stack of boxes.
Lorelai gasped. "What is it?"
"Those are the boxes from our attic you were supposed to give away two years ago." Rory snapped.
"Whatever do you mean?" Lorelai asked feigning confusion.
"Rory and I spent three days boxing all this stuff in the attic. I even encountered some spiders and cobwebs for this." Gen exclaimed adjusting her earmuffs on her head.
Grabbing some boxes, Gen started dividing them into four piles: Keep, Sell, Donate, and Trash.
"Look, Rory you handle the trash and donate pile. I will handle the keep and sell pile. Mom why don't you hand us stuff and go make some coffee because clearly you can't be trusted with what to keep and get rid of around here." Gen started barking out orders like a drill sergeant.
Rory saluted her twin. "Aye, aye captain."
"Oh my gosh, I didn't realize how much junk we have." Gen held up a baby doll without a head and tossed it into the trash pile.
