I unfortunately do not own Gilmore Girls; season 7 would have ended a lot better

Sorry it is kind-of in 'screen play' format I tried to rewrite it as a story but it just lost the spark, I will have part 2 posted ASAP

BACKROUND: it has been a year since season 7 ended. Luke and Lorelai are married and expecting (TWINS). On their trip Doyel proposed to Paris, who as the wedding approaches becomes well more 'Paris'. Rory has been a traveling reporter, and is tryin to get to Paris' wedding on her way to New York. I think that is pretty much it.

Scene One: Rory arrives in San Francisco for a meeting about Obama's chances of winning California. This is the buses stop on the way to New York where a similar meeting will be held, Rory is traveling with a group of reporters. Rory will switch buses in New York and catch a bus to Stars Hollow where she will pack up her old room and attend Paris' wedding in Hartford. At least that was the plan….

Rory gets off the bus with her hands full with an over stuffed bag and papers, she is on the phone with Paris.

Rory

Yes, Paris, I just got off the bus.

Rory

No I don't think that will keep me from your wedding.

Rory

Is that even possible?

Rory

No I haven't recently checked the-

Rory

Alright I'll look it up and call you back…Paris that's- yes I will. Okay. Bye.

Rory hangs up her phone and crashes into someone. Papers from both people go everywhere. Rory doesn't look to see who she hit, starts apologizing and begins picking up the mess.

Logan

Geez, Ace, you could really kill a guy with that bag.

Rory

I know, I am so sorr- Wait you just called me Ace, how did you know that was…?

Rory looks up.

Rory

Logan?

Logan

Busy working Woman these days, eh?

Logan continues to pick up stuff as Rory is still in shock.

Rory

Wow, I didn't expect to-

Logan cuts her off.

Logan

To run into me in the middle of a busy sidewalk, I agree. Now that all of the belongings have been returned to their owners this, mishap is almost over.

Logan helps Rory to her feet.

Logan

We're up and it looks like the damage is minor just a few bumps and bruises should we call the insurance companies and exchange information?

Rory is frustrated by his quick coldness towards her.

Rory

No, I don't think we need to bring the insurance companies into this, everything seems to be in order.

Logan

Good

Logan smiles, his charming Logan smile.

Enter a blonde Woman from behind Rory.

Woman

Logan?

Logan looks past Rory at the girl.

Woman

You were supposed to meet me 15min. ago

Logan

I know, I'm sorry, I had a little accident.

Logan gestures towards Rory.

Woman

Oh.

Logan

But everything seems to be in order, so we can

be on our way.

Woman

Good because we're late.

The girl looks over at Rory, who is Obviously uncomfortable.

Woman

Who's this?

Logan

Oh, I'm sorry. Bambi, Rory. Rory, Bambi.

Rory

Unsure.

Her name is Bambi?

The girl, 'Bambi', answers the question that was directed at Logan.

Woman

Bambi is just a nickname that I can't get Logan to stop calling me.

She playfully hits Logan.

Woman

(Now: Tori)

I'm Victoria. You can call me Tori.

Rory

Rory

The two girls shake hands.

Tori

Wait, you're Rory? As in 'The Rory'?

Looks to Logan, who she directs her next question to.

Tori

You're Ex-girlfriend?

Before Logan can Rory answers.

Rory

The Ex-Girlfriend, yeah, that's me.

Rory hates the label EX. Tori looks overjoyed.

Tori

Wow! I've always wondered about you!

Rory

You have?

Tori

You're this big mystery. I was beginning to think you were his imaginary girlfriend.

Rory

Oh.

Tori

Yeah he never talks about you.

Logan feeling very awkward chimes in.

Logan

Well there isn't much to say about Rory and I. Aren't we late?

Tori

Yes! We should get going.

Tori turns to Rory.

Tori

How long are you going to be in town?

Rory

I'm here just until tomorrow night.

Tori

Oh, that's not very long! We should get together before you leave.

Logan

Looks panicked

I don't really think Rory-

Tori

Nonsense Logan, really Rory I want to get to know you.

Rory

I don't know.

Tori

I insist. We can have drinks tomorrow night before you leave.

Logan sighs at his failure to prevent the situation.

Rory

Well if you insist.

Tori

Great! It's settled. What time do you leave?

Rory

The bus leaves at 9:00PM

Logan tries to get Tori to move along.

Tori

Here's my card,

Tori hands Rory her Business card.

Tori

We can meet at Charley's Pub, it is just down the street there at…let's say 7:00PM?

Rory

Okay sounds great.

Logan's looks at Rory with the biggest apology on his face, Rory is upset and almost completely hides it. Logan Finally gets Tori to move along.

Tori

See you tomorrow Rory.

Logan

His voice and eyes filled with apology

Bye, Rory

Rory

Bye.

Rory sighs looking at the card:
