"Mom! You are not going to believe this!" Rory said as she entered the Dragonfly Inn. She had just received news that would change the rest of her summer forever.

"What is it sweets?" Lorelei asked not looking up from what she was doing. "I'm going on Big Brother mom!" Rory replied jumping up and down."Big Brother? As in the TV show? My daughter's gonna be on TV?" Lorelei couldn't belive it for a sec. She wasecstatic at the news until it all sunk in. "You're going to leave mommy for the whole summer?" Lorelei actually looked like she had just gotten news that Rory was going to Alaska for the next 5 years. "Sorry mom, but I have a chance of winning money to actually pay for my next few years at Yale. How can I resist that?" Lorelei knew that Rory was right. She also knew that it meant that Rory wouldn't owe anything to her parents anymore. "Okay love… when does this thing start?" "Well mom, it starts tomorrow actually. Which means I have to start packing tonight." It was last minute but it was still good. Rory was determined to do this. "Tomorrow, did you say tomorrow? How can those people expect you to leave tomorrow? That's just crazy?" "Mom, calm down! They do it this way so that nothing gets out before the contestants all meet up. How entertaining would it be if I knew who was going to be there before I moved in?" Rory was keeping it together even though she would miss her mother like crazy. "I guess your right sweets. But that's so soon.How about movie night tonight Ror? Our last night before you leave" "sure mom, of course."

So the Gilmore Girls did what they do best. They packed (way too much) and had their usual junk food and movie night. They spent, as much time as they could together knowing that in that in the Big Brotherhouse there was no communication with the outside world.

Lying in bed that night Rory realized that for the first time in her life she was going to be stuck with 11 strangers with whom she had no choice but to socialize. What was she going to do? She couldn't just avoid these people; they would be her roommates for 10 weeks. What if they didn't like her? What if she couldn't stand them? There had to be at least one person with whom she'd get along with right? She finally drifted off to sleep with a million thoughts swimming in her mind.

The goodbyes lasted forever the next morning. Mother and daughter weren't used to this much time apart. Sure there had been some trips and things when they had been forced to be apart from each other but it was nonetheless hard. "Rory hun, I'm going to miss you like crazy, you know that right?" Lorelei said to her daughter. "I'm going to miss you too mom, but you'll be okay. You've got Luke now and Sookie. It's only 10 weeks. You won't even know I'm gone." Rory was trying her hardest to reassure her mother but it wasn't working. "It's time to go mom, I love you!" She said as she hugged her mom close. "I love you too Ror. Have fun! Bring back the bacon hun!"

Before going to the house Rory had to meet the producers and get a little preview of what was to happen.

She walked into the studio a little unsure of herself but ready for the new experiences she would encounter in the house. She walked up to who she knew was the host of the show and introduced herself.

"Hello I'm Rory Gilmore and I'm supposed to meet the producers here before moving into the house."

"Hi Rory, I'm Julie Chen (A/N: I think that's how it's spelled). Welcome to Big Brother. Please follow me."

So Rory followed Julie to a small sitting area. "Please sit down Rory, this shouldn't take very long. Would you like any coffee?" Julie asked her as she poured herself a cup of coffee.

"I would love coffee. Thank You." Julie handed her the coffee and had a seat.

"Well Rory, as you know you've been chosen amongst thousands to experience Big Brother. As you know this is a reality show and everything will be taped and recorded."

Julie began.

"Everything?" Rory asked with a little fear on her face.

"Yes everything. The only area in the house where there will be no camera is in the small area that holds the toilet. Our shower and bath are on camera also but there are curtains and smoked glass and we would never air anything inappropriate on television."

This was a little scary to Rory. She had seen the show though so she knew that when they took showers the cameras couldn't see much but the person's head over the shower door.

"What about my roommates? Do I get to know who they are before I walk into the house?" She knew it wasn't likely but she just had to ask. Curiosity was getting the best of her. She would have to spend over two months with those people; she wanted to know who they were.

"Sorry dear but their identity will not be know to you until we reach the house. All I can tell you is to expect the unexpected. You might just know a few of them or they might all be strangers." Only Julie and the producers knew the identity of the other 11 competitors. They were picked to shock and to entertain. Some were opposites some were compatible and some were just alike enough to cause friction.

"The only thing we have to cover now before you go to the house is the rules. There will be absolutely no communication with the outside world, which means no telephone, no computer, no television, no radio, no newspapers and no clocks. Those are basically the only rules. You have to take good care of the house for you will have to live there until you are sent home."

Rory couldn't believe those were the only rules she had to follow. "What about food and coffee? Please tell me there will be coffee in the house?" She hadn't thought about that yet but now she was a little scared. What if there was no coffee in the house? There wouldn't do that would they?

"Well Rory, those are things you'll just have to find out for yourself. I CAN tell you that you won't starve to death but what fun would it be, if I told you everything before you got into that house? Now, do you have any questions?"

"No, I think that's all." Sure there were tons of questions she could ask but she could think of nothing at that moment.

"Okay well, if there's nothing else then I guess we should take you to the house. You are the last person to arrive; everyone was taken to the entrance of the house and is waiting for you to enter. Of course conversations aren't allowed until everyone is inside so you haven't really missed that much. Are you ready?" Julie asked her as she got up from the table.

It's at that moment that Rory started to question herself. She was getting a little nervous. What if she was the first person to be sent out of that house? What if there was no coffee in that house? What if she really hated it in there? She had to get herself together. She started thinking about Yale and about her grandparents and the money she wouldn't have to borrow if she could only win this thing. That was the thing that got her to her feet. She grabbed her bag and started out behind Julie. She was finally going to her new home.

Julie led her out the door and down a little path. She could see the house from where she was and she could see 6 guys and 5 girls from where she was standing. Their faces were a bit blurry but she could still see her new roommates.

"You're really going to have fun in there Rory." Julie said as they kept on walking.

Rory was just about to answer when her housemates came into focus. What she saw both surprised her and scared her. She couldn't believe that among those eleven blurry faces were some that she actually knew. All of a sudden she wasn't so sure if she wanted to participate in this TV show. What had she gotten herself into?


Well readers, there you have it. I haven't written a fanfic in forever and I thought I'd give it a shot. I know the first few chapters are mostly crap but I had a hard time starting this out.

Anyone have any ideas who she could be "stuck" with in the house?

Please review this story; I really want to know what you all think!
