I know the last thing I need is another fic, but I've had this idea in my head for a while now. And it just keeps building. =] enjoy! And REVIEW. This is my first Gilmore Girls fic, and I really only watched up until the beginning of season 4, so I'm sorry if there are events which aren't correct. But, i've gathered a lot of general info, just from reading other GG fics.

First day of work, new town, new office. New life. Rory Gilmore took a deep breath before opening the door of her new office building. She took the elevator up to her floor.

"I can do this." she thought to herself. She walked up and knocked on her boss's door.

"Come in." She opened the door and walked in.

"Ah! Rory, come, come." Said her boss "I am so glad you decided to take the job offer here at the Boston Globe." She smiled politely. "Your office is 3 doors down from here, and we have a staff meeting at 11:00."

" Thank you Mr. Smith" Rory said "I really look forward to working here."

Rory found her office and gasped at the amazing view of the Charles River and Boston University. It was absolutely breathtaking. She sat on the windowsill, and began thinking about her life, and how it's changed in the recent years. Rory graduated Chilton, went to Yale, and lived the good life up until about two years ago. Then her life went awry. The events of the last couple years made her eyes watery, and to keep from having another breakdown, Rory got up and looked at her watch. It read 10:45 which meant she had 15 minutes to find where the staff meeting was going to be held, and get some coffee.

As she walked out of the office, she ran into someone. "Shit." she heard. Rory looked up only to find that she had walked into Summer Reagen,one of the sluttiest girls at school.

"Summer." she said.

" You look really familiar." Summer stated as she inspected Rory's face. " I could swear I've seen you somewhere."

Rory chuckled, "Yeah we went to Chilton together, remember?"

Summer gasped. "Oh yeah! I'm sorry I didn't recognize you before, its been so long since I've been in Hartford, let alone talked to someone from Chilton." " When did you come to Boston? And since when have you been working for the Globe? I mean I know its a big paper, but -"

"I just started today." Rory smiled. Then she looked at Summer's shirt and gasped. " Oh Summer, I'm really sorry! I got coffee all over your shirt!"

Summer looked down and sighed, " Its okay, it happens. And I have a coat."

Rory immediately felt guilty. "No, no, no. You look to be about the same size as me, and since I just moved here, I've got bags full of clothes in my car." She handed Summer the keys. "Go inside, pick something and leave your dirty one in the front seat so I can wash it."

"Thanks Rory!" Summer said as she turned around.

"Summer!" Rory called out

"Yeah?"

"Where's the staff meeting?" she asked nervously. "Like I said, I'm new here and I really don't know where anything is."

Summer smiled and said "Its on our way down, the conference room is on the 2nd floor, room 311. Thanks for letting me borrow something, we can swap clean clothes tomorrow."

Rory smiled and said "I'm really sorry about that."

Summer waved her off. "I look forward to seeing more of you Rory Gilmore. I'll be up soon."

Rory exited the elevator and found room 311. She walked in and her boss grabbed her by the arm.

"Everyone! Listen up! We have a new reporter, Rory Gilmore." said

Rory's cheek flushed a deep shade of pink. She hated these types of introductions. "Hi." she managed to get out.

"Now, I expect you all to be on your best behavior, and help her out with anything she needs." said Mr. Smith.

Rory quickly found a seat in the back of the room, cheeks burning a crimson red. She began listening to Mr. Smith speak about events that had to be attended, and deadlines that had to be met. She also heard something about an endorsement party. The meeting was over as quick as it started, and just as Rory was leaving, she felt a tap on her shoulder, and saw Summer's hand dangling her car keys. She took them and smiled.

"Rory! You have the coolest clothes ever, please feel free to spill coffee on me anytime!" Summer exclaimed.

Rory laughed. "That won't be needed, you can raid my closet in exchange for some shoe privileges."

"Boy are we going to get a long well!" Summer said as she linked her arm through Rory's. They chatted the whole elevator ride about their lives. It was weird, since they hadn't really been from the same social circles during high school. But, it was nice nonetheless. They parted ways to go to their respective offices.

Rory had been sitting at her desk, just getting herself oriented. She wasn't really writing anything yet, just surfing the web for some things to make her office feel more homey. She looked up when she heard a knock on her door, and Summer came in.

"I was wondering if you wanted to go to lunch with us?" Summer asked. " You can meet some more people too."

Rory smiled. Food sounded like a good idea, and she had been so busy today that her coffee needs had been neglected. "Sure, thanks!" Rory said.

Summer, Rory, Marissa, and Lorie were all sitting at a table in a quiet little bistro around the corner from the office. They were all having a really good time, and Rory fit in just fine. They were all becoming fast friends, as by the time they were done lunch, they had made plans to go out to a club later that night.

Smiling to herself, Rory walked into her office, only to find someone else sitting in her chair. She did a double take.

"Oh I'm sorry, I must be in the wrong office. Oh wait, nope, its mine." she smirked.

The figure sitting in the chair turned around, and Rory almost screamed. "Tristan?" she said in a voice barely above a whisper.

"Mary?" he said. " So you're the new girl everyone's talking about. Well, well, it's about time we see each other again." he said with a smirk.

She nervously smiled and said "Yeah, it's been what, 6 years?"

"Well, I just came by to say hello to the new girl, but you're not new at all."

She opened her mouth to find something to say, but he was already outside the door frame as he turned and said "I'll see you around, Mary."

I hope you guys like it! I'm not really sure where it's going at this point, but I'll figure it out soon enough. REVIEW please!!
