Hello my lovely readers! Guess who has a new story? I know I probably shouldn't be starting a new one, what with Regrets and Disappointment still In-Progress, but whatever. I PROMISE both those stories will get finished. I'll be updating this story and Regrets about once a week, give or take a few writers blocks in-between. Disappointment will get updated when inspiration hits me. Hopefully it will be soon, I'm starting to lose faith in that story. Anyway, enough of my incoherent babbling. This is my first AU story, and here's what you have to know:

Lorelai had always had a decent relationship with Emily and Richard. Lorelai did leave Hartford a year after having Rory, but still stayed close with her parents and their social circle. Both Lorelai and Rory live in Stars Hollow, but visit Hartford often for social events, etc. Since Lorelai always stayed inside the "rich" part of Hartford, Rory got to know many young kids of that social class at a young age. Around the age of three, she met Colin McRae at one of her grandmother's partied, and ever since they have been best friends.

Anything else you need to know that I left out will be added on later on, but I think that's it.

Okay, this first chapter is a flashback to when Rory was five, at one of the many parties of her grandmother's.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything. Don't rub it in.

"Mom...Mom!" a small, brunette girl called out to her mother, running up to her and tugging on the end of her dress.

"Excuse me a moment, would you?" Lorelai smiled politely to the couple she was talking to, before taking her daughter's hand and walking to a corner of the room.

"What is it?"

"Mommy, can I go play with Colin? He told me that he got me some chocolate from his house, and I don't like the mushy stuff those waiters are serving."

Lorelai laughed. "Of course you can go play with Colin. I'll come get you when it's time to head back to Stars Hollow."

"Oh, thank you Mommy!" she yelled, wrapping her shirt arms around her mother's neck, before running off into a different room.

She looked around for a few minutes, before seeing a small brunette head behind a large potted plant.

"Colin!" she called happily, running up to him for a hug, not noticing the two bodies standing next to him.

"Hey Rory," Colin smiled, slightly embarrassed by Rory's show of affection in front of his friends.

When Rory released her grasp on Colin, she turned around to see another brunette and a blonde standing by him.

"Hello, boys. I'm Rory." She stuck out her hand, waiting for them to shake it.

"Finn. You're pretty," the brunette said, giving her a once-over, ignoring the hand she had out.

"Logan," the blonde answered after his friend. He put out his hand, and they shook. "Woah." He said after a minute.

"What?"

"Your eyes. They're really blue."

"Oh," Rory giggled blushing. "Yeah, I got them from my mom. She's really nice."

"Oh. Lucky. My mom's not very nice."

"Why not?"

"I don't know."

"I'm sorry." Rory gave him a hug, even though she had just met him. After a moment, she clapped her hands. "Hey, I have an idea!"

"Uh-oh. Lat time you said that we overflowed the toilet in your house by trying to flush 10 rubber duckies," Colin mumbled, earning him a light smack on the head.

"Hush you. No, I think that me and Logan should get married!"

"What?"

"Yeah! That way, my mommy could be your mommy, and then you would have a nice mommy too!"

"Wow. That's really nice Rory. You think we should?" Logan said softly, in awe of the great idea. He really liked this little girl.

"Yes, I'm sure. I like you, a lot, and I know my Mommy would too." After she said this, she gasped, turning red and clasping a hand over her mouth.

"I like you too. Let's get married, and be together forever." Logan smirked, and Rory couldn't help but think in her five-year old mind how cute he looked.

"Okay!" she said enthusiastically.

"So it's a deal?" he asked.

"Deal," she nodded. "Pinky promise." With that, she held out her pinky, waiting for him to grasp it. He did, and they shook their hands again. This time, when they let go, Rory jumped up and down and clapped.

"Wow! I'm enjaged! I'm enjaged!"

"What's enjaged?" Logan asked quizzically.

"It's what you call yourself when you are getting married. My mom said it when she was gettin' married to my daddy Luke."

"Oh. So I'm enjaged to?"

"Mhmm," she nodded. "Oh! I got to go tell my mommy! Bye guys!" and with that last remark, she waved and ran off, leaving two disbelieving brunettes and a smiling blonde behind her.

"Mom! Guess what happened to me tonight?" Rory asked her Mom, smiling, on the drive back to Stars Hollow.

"What sweetie?"

"I got enjaged!"

"En-what?"

"Enjaged! You know, when you are gettin' married!"

Lorelai laughed. "You mean engaged?"

"Oh. Yeah."

"How did you get engaged, sweets?"

"Well, I met this boy, and he didn't have a nice mommy, like you, so I told him that we would get married, and be together forever, and that way you could be his mommy. He was a very nice boy. His name was Logan," Rory retold her story, not able to keep herself from smiling.

"Oh, well that's sweet. But how do you know you will be together forever."

"Simple. We pink swore we would." Rory said.

"Oh, and pinky swearing makes it official?"

"Yes, mommy, it does. I only pinky swear when I really want to do something. And I really want to marry Logan, mommy."

"Okay, well, then I guess your engaged!" Lorelai said, smiling at her daughter's antics. Five-year olds did the oddest things.

"The pinky's confirmed it," Rory said, looking out her window as they entered her town of Stars Hollow.

Okay, just a few things. First if all, I know Rory sort of talk's a little better then a normal five-year old does, but whatever. She's a smart girl. I'm not sure how much I suck at flashbacks, but hopefully this one was good enough. The next chapter will be many, many, many years into the future, when they are all teenagers. That is when more characters and plotlines will come into play. Anyway, hope you enjoyed this first chapter in what I hope will be a very good story!

So review, please and thank you. The more feedback I get, the more motivation I get to update faster.
