Note: I do NOT own Gilmore Girls. If I do, I wouldn't be writing this. Also, this my first fanfic, so be nice. I might add some characters later that's not in the show. If I do, those characters I own.
Situation: Rory was going out with Logan, whom she met at Yale. Rory never slept with Dean or Logan, meaning she is still a virgin. Lane is dating Dave. Jess did open his bookstore with his friends, Chris and Matthew. Rory is in her Senior year. Lorelai is married to Christopher.
Chapter 1 A Gift and a Breakup
Rory was lying in her bed when she heard a knock on her door.
"I have coffee…" Lorelai Gilmore woke her daughter up as she walked in her room.
"Mean…need sleep. Thursday. Play. No sleep. Finals." said Rory.
"What was that? I'm sorry, I couldn't understand you. It sounded like you were trying to say something like I'm the best mother ever, since I woke up at four in the morning just to make you four pots of coffee."
"FOUR POTS?!" Rory suddenly woke in amazement as she questioned her mother.
"Jeez. No need to yell! But yes, I did made four pots. I went to the garage and found a new coffee maker that Sookie gave us last year for Christmas. And I can't seem to remember why we didn't use the damn thing."
Rory was walking out of her bedroom and looked in amazement as she saw four coffee pots waiting for her. She then turned to her mother.
"I can't believe you were serious!"
"Well, I never joke about coffee. You should know that, offspring. You're a Gilmore! And you also didn't answer my question."
"It's because we always to go Luke's for coffee if we ever run out."
"What is up with you this morning? You seem really crappy."
"I'm sorry. It's just that last night still bothered me."
"Ahhh…. That's right. Your date with Logan. How did it go?"
"Ugh. I don't even wanna talk about it. He was such an ass. I mean he cant even nice to me on our last date!"
"Well, you did leave him on the altar on your wedding day, then postponed it, then break up with him a week later." Lorelai paused. "But, now since telling the truth and speaking our mind about Logan, I just wanna tell you that he's an ass and a bastard and anything else that's bad that you can think of. So, I take it, you made the right choice by breaking up with him?"
"The best!"
"Well, what do you say if we celebrate with a movie night to night. We can order pizza, Chinese, Thai, and I can also ask Luke to make us a little something-something. I'll even let you pick the movies and you can just relax at home, while I buy the junk food and stuff."
"Oohhh…I can't today. Jess invited me to his book signing today. Maybe tomorrow?"
"What?! You're going to Philadelphia? When did you exactly plan this? How come I didn't know? Wait, did you just said that Jess wrote a book? What about¾" Lorelai rambled.
"Mom, chill. You know Jess wrote a book. He sent you an invitation too remember? And I told you that I was gonna go to his gig like months ago, when I got the invite. Besides, it would be rude not to go. He and I are still friends. Besides, Dad and Luke are best friends. And you, my dear, is also engaged to Luke."
Lorelai smiled. "Really? Oh, is that the little card that says something about a bookstore?"
Rory nodded.
"Oh. Well, I just sort of chucked it when I read the word 'bookstore'. So that might explained why I completely lost."
Rory chuckled.
"Rory? Are you sure you want to go? I mean you just broke up with Logan, like last night."
"Yeah. I'm sure. Besides, I read the book that Jess wrote. It was a amazing! And it just sort of made me realized something."
"What's that?"
"That when I'm with Logan, I'm a different person. I mean I used to hate drinking and partying and stuff. But now, look at me. I drink. I had an extravagant 21st birthday party that I didn't enjoy."
"Okay. Well, I guess I should let you get ready while I drink my 20th cup of coffee."
Rory smiled as Lorelai walked to the door. For the next two hours, Rory was getting ready. She wants to look her best, although she's not sure why. After all, she and Jess are best friends and they haven't seen each other in a long time. Maybe that's why. Or maybe there's something more...perhaps.

Rory walked it the kitchen and found her mother looking at some of the mail that came while drinking coffee.
"You know, too much caffeine can kill you." Rory said, surprising her mother.
Lorelai jumped. "My God, you scared me to death! And no, coffee and caffeine can no kill me. I'm a Gilmore. And stop acting like Luke!" Lorelai protested.
Rory laughed. "Any mail for me?"
"Um…..yeah…there was one like two days ago. I forgot to give it to you. I put it…somewhere…"Lorelai said, gathering her though. "Oh yeah, it's in the living room."
"Okay, thanks."
Rory walked into the living room and found her letters, she quickly went through it.
"Renewal, renewal, credit card offers, more credit card offer…Jess?" Rory was surprised to see a letter from Jess. She immediately sit down on the couch, eagerly opening the letter.
Dear Rory,
Hi Rory. I got your invitation to the wedding. Thanks for inviting me. I just wanna tell you congratulations. However, I still wanna tell you, that I hate you husband (because when you're reading this, you're probably already married to that jerk). Anyways, best wishes. You happiness is my happiness, Rory. Loving someone, does not always mean that you'll end up together and be happy for the rest of your life. I'm mature now. I get that. So, all in all, I just wanna say congrats and best wishes. I love you, Rory Gilmore.
With Love, always and forever yours,
Jess Mariano
Rory wiped her tears away, she was so touched by Jess's letter. It might be short and simple, but with that, he already explained his feeling and his sincere congratulations to Rory. His genuine care for Rory was also visible in the letter of his.
Then, the door bell rang. Rory got up and answered the door, but couldn't find anyone there. There was only a car, driving away, and a package, with her name, waiting for her at the foot of the door.
Rory brought the package in and walk into the kitchen.
Without looking up, Lorelai asked her daughter who was at the door. Rory simply put the box in front of her mother to acknowledge her who was at the door.
"Ooohhh… Who's it from?"
"I don't know. It doesn't say. Should I open it?"
"Well, if you don't open it, what are you gonna do with it?"
Rory nodded and opened the package.
So, what do you think? Should I continue? Hit that little pretty, purple button on the bottom of this page and let me know. Also, if you have ideas, they are more than welcome. All reviews are greatly appreciated, even if you hate my story.
