Okay just a quick note to those reading this, you are going to laugh. Not
at what I was trying to accomplish but at the fact that I am such a novice.
Please be kind. I promise to remember such kindness in the future.
Disclaimer- I don't own Gilmore Girls nor the rights to such a wonderful show and by writing this I am only promoting that which I do love. Plus, in sewing me, the only thing you will obtain is a stick of gum from 1997. (Just kidding...it's really from 1994.)

As the scene opens, Rory Gilmore is sitting on her bed buried beneath the mountain of work that has fallen upon her in the wake of Graduation. She has not touched one paper since her mother revealed to her the night before that Jess Mariano, the man of her dreams, was gone. No one knew where he was, well no one but Luke. She sighed and turned her head to her dresser. Upon the oak dresser sat a book. The last one she borrowed from Jess. She smiled slightly thinking about him and where he was, and then the smile faded. In the background you can hear "Rockabye" playing.
Rory sighed. There is a knock on the door.
"Yes?" she asked.
"Honey, are you okay? Paris called and was wondering where you were today for the Senior Picnic. You can't stay in there forever. Besides, I have coffee!" Lorelai pleaded with her daughter as she stood outside the door with two cups of coffee in hand.
"No coffee today," the depressed teenager replied as she rolled to one side on her bed. She hoped this would send her mother away in a confused state. When she heard no response from outside the door, Rory began to wonder a bit. There was no loud thud to imply that her mother had fainted and she hadn't heard any sounds of porcelain breaking. Rather than be worried by all this, she decided to get up and open the door. As she opened the door, she found the coffee was sitting to one side and her mother was now in a desperate attempt to pick her lock.
"You could have just turned the knob."
"I thought about it, but I figured you might have locked the door."
"No, I didn't."
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner, honey. I really am!"
"Doesn't matter, if you had told me sooner we still would be here and he would be somewhere else." Lorelai couldn't help but stand up and embrace her daughter. She wanted to take away all the pain, and just see Rory smile again, but she knew that wasn't going to happen. Not at this moment, when all the world seemed darker.
"Well if it makes you feel any better, I have chocolate!" she exclaimed as she pulled her daughter back enough to look at her face. That pale face, soaked in the tears of a lost love. She knew the face all to well.
"Mom, I love you and I appreciate all this but the truth is I need the coffee and I need to work." Rory wiped away a tear that had managed to get through and she looked at Lorelai.
"Oh yeah, you have to write that speech, Ms. Valedictorian," she relished at that thought.
"Yeah. Coffee?" Rory asked, in a half begging tone.
"Can I read the speech when you are done?"
"No, I don't want anyone to see it till Graduation."
"Fine." Lorelai handed Rory the coffee and the teen went back into her grey world.
As the door closed, Lorelai wondered if anything could bring Rory back from the doldrums.
