Disclaimer: I do not own any rights to Gilmore Girls or it's characters.
(A/N: I know this might seem like some typical story but i'm going to try and make it as different as i can while keeping a somewhat typical storyline. It is AU and is definitely a Trory although I will include other characters as well as the limo boys and my own mad up ones, but everything will be explained as I go along. It will probably be a pretty long story and take me forever because I want to make it though all of senior year, and I am from Australia so I'm sorry for any inaccurate facts. This is my first fic so please don't be too harsh.
"Mom!" Rory yelled as soon as she entered the crapshack, "Coffee!" she pleaded,
"Long time no see, oh daughter of mine!" Lorelai cried out to her daughter dramatically throwing her arms into the air as she ran towards Rory and engulfed her in a bear hug, Rory rolled her eyes and made a somewhat growl,
"Stop being such a drama queen mom,"
"Hey you started the drama act one as soon as you entered the door,"
"You more than likely would of done that anyway even if I hadn't been first to issue our drama phase,"
"True, but it really has been like forever," Lorelai mimicked in a stereotyped bimbo voice,
"I only went to school, you saw me this morning," Rory sighed impatiently; Lorelai frowned, threw some shoes on, grabbed her daughters arm and pulled her out the house and towards Luke's. As they were walking,
"Smart daughter goes to hell, first day back might I add, she is in obvious need of coffee, me being the good mommy I am, takes daughter to best coffee known to Gilmore Girls, possibly the best on this planet," They enter Luke's, "Luke! Luke! Luke!" Lorelai calls out; Luke looks up and shakes his head,
"The caffeine is out to kill you, go home and save what's left of yourselves… your too far gone save Rory, the poor kid," Luke mutters the last bit under his breath, Lorelai stuck her tongue out, pulled up a seat and sent a pointed look to Rory, Rory goes up to the counter and with her special doe-eyed pout pleaded to Luke,
" Luke pleeeassssee, I desperately need my coffee fix after coming home from hell which happened to be extra hellish today, so screw the whole Rory can still be saved thingy because we all know that it ain't gonna happen, and mom needs coffee to keep her somewhat calm while I inform her of my extra hellish day at hell and without coffee she is more likely to make a big commotion in your peaceful, quiet diner, come on Luke think of the diner," she quickly ranted without changing her innocent expression, Luke sighed in defeat as he filled their coffee while Rory smiled brightly.
"Ooooo daughter of mine I taught you well, maybe too well, hmmmm… oh well it got me the sacred liquid, commonly referred to as coffee therefore I ain't complaining," when Rory didn't bother replying Lorelai figure Rory must have been honest when she said Chilton was really bad today, "What's got you all lost in the forest hun?"
"Huh?"
"What's wrong?" Rory stands up and starts pacing,
"Besides Tristan being his extra cocky, annoying self today, Paris is now giving me the cold shoulder and I thought we had formed some kind of truce at the end of last year- and why not give the already dead rat some extra poison by having to go to hell's annual senior year camping trip, it is only the first day back and I am already feeling like I'm going to explode-"
"Ror! Slow down," Lorelai cut her daughter's rant calmly, Rory stopped pacing and looked up at her mother before sighing and returning to her original seat, she takes a deep breath,
"Mom, how am I going to survive this year?"
"Hmmm, I don't know exactly how you're going to go about it hun, but I do know you will make it through the year alive," Lorelai and Rory locked eyes before collapsing into a fit of giggles, "Okay, that sounded like such a movie line, when you woke up this morning did you know that we were going to be so dramatic today?"
"Mom, it was bound to happen some day, we watch a lot of movies, but I didn't know we were gonna have the whole 'going on a dangerous adventure' act while talking about Chilton,"
"How could you not? Chilton is like some wild jungle filled with wild animals and wild situations and wild places,"
"Oh, you're right, I mean there are some wild animals there that spend so much time on grooming, just like monkeys, and that gym equipment is pretty wild and dangerous," Rory replied to her mother's statement,
"So, your mission shall you choose to accept it or not is to make it out of the jungle alive?"
"Well….yeah I suppose,"
"I'm sorry but did I just hear something?"
"I mean Mom, yes Mom," Rory saluted,
"That's what I thought, so first we have Tristan DuGray a.k.a. king of the jungle, objective- keep him in his place and not be seduced by his super hot, super charming Brad Pitt styling ways of attempting to sweep you off your feet, or in other words, don't become one of his many conquests, shut him down every time and avoid him at all costs,"
"Well duh mom,"
"But we all know that you are in denial, he likes you, you like him, he goes through third grade act while you pretend you don't care, when in reality you more than just care, you're scared of being one of the many which doesn't allow you to act on what you really feel, why are you so scared?"
"No more secret agent mission?"
"Eh, I'm over it, now answer the question,"
"Mom there is no denial about feelings, he doesn't like me, he likes annoying me, all he wants is for me to make him more secure of himself by adding my name to his little black book and then he will move on to the next girl who's skirt he hasn't removed,"
"Ha! See, I knew it,"
"What?"
"You didn't deny that you had a thing for him and you sounded disappointed about him moving onto other girls,"
"You're crazy,"
"Maybe so but I also know things, like when not to push a subject Mary, so about Paris, talk to her and the camp I'm sure I can manage to get you out of it,"
"Actually I really have to go on the camp thing; it's compulsory and affects our grades and attendance records,"
"Damn, sorry kiddo,"
"I know, also I don't want to have to ask Grandma and Grandpa for the money, them paying for my tuition fee is already too much so we have to get the money from somewhere else," Rory's face dropped at their money dilemma,
"I understand sweets and we both know what that means,"
"We have to go home and visit dad?"
"Yep, home to see you father," Lorelai paused and her eyes glazed over as she was caught in deep thought, "shoot! You're dad is Christopher- we have to see Chris!" she exclaimed, tears filling her eyes, Rory engulfed her in a tight hug,
"Mom, don't worry, I'll go alone, I know you're not ready for this,"
"It's been a year and I still can't face him," Lorelai sobbed, "And you have your own problems back there, people you don't want to face either,"
"Mom it's okay, I'll go by myself and see dad, after all he still is my father, no one in that society needs to know I'm there I'll stay and the grandparents,"
"Straub and Francine?"
"Yeah, they will understand, we've been writing letters to each other, I know the week we left we had an argument with them the night before, but they were really sorry and I just assured them that we didn't leave over that, I think they know something happened with dad but since that dinner they've been walking on eggshells, too afraid to pry into our affairs,"
"Fair enough, I thought you were still bitter with them, I just cut off all ties with them once we fled,"
"They're still my grandparents, and in a way I feel I can truly depend on them,"
"So you're really fine with going alone?"
"Yeah I'll be fine,"
"So you're going this weekend,"
"Are you starting every sentence with so? And yes it will be over this weekend, I'll call and let Grandmother Francine take care of the arrangements, I'll leave Friday after school,"
"I'm sorry for making you go alone; I really love you Rory,"
"I love you too mom," she replied smiling as they broke away from their hug,
"So…?"
"Back to the so's?"
"No! …Movie night?"
"Of course!"
"Okay, but we can't stay up too late, second day of school tomorrow,"
"Oh yay! What fun!" Rory replied sarcastically cheerful,
"Hey! I gave you two coffee, and Rory, you said that it would keep you two from making a scene in my diner and you've been carrying on like a couple of mental patients, you lied," Luke accused as they headed towards the door,
"Actually Luke I said that the coffee would make mom less likely to cause commotion. I made no guarantees or promises," Rory said,
"Yeah and you live in Stars Hollow, which is like a mental clinic anyway except we get to be free range," Lorelai piped up, Luke shook his head as he smiled in amusement as he waved the girls out the diner. Lorelai and Rory returned home for one of their beloved movie nights.
