Gilmore Residence, Stars Hollow, Connecticut.
Lorelai stood on he front porch,, sifting through the early morning mail..
"Bills. Bills. Bills. Bills disguised as 'Special Offers'. Yale..Yale?!" Lorelai's eyes widened as she screeched."Rory!!" She ran into the house, through the kitchen, and into her sleeping daughters bedroom.
Rory blearily sat up when she felt her mothers weight on her legs and heard her screaming.
"What?!"
"YALE!!!" Lorelai thrust an oversized envelope into Rory's numb hands. "You got a big letter from Yale!!"
"What?!" She clutched he envelope, and tried to focus her tired eyes. "Okay, I'm scared.. What if hey say no?" She looked at the envelope warily.
"Then you'll go to Harvard." She took the width of the envelope between two fingers, it was at least 2 inches thick. "And does this really look like anything But an acceptance letter?"
"Harvard's too far away. Yale is soo much closer-" (AN: I have no Idea if that's actually true. sue me, I'm from Canada)-"I could come home for the weekends more often."
"And. My dad's Alumni there, he has pull. You're in." Lorelai pushed the envelope into Rory's chest, "Make it official!"
"Okay. Okay." Rory opened the envelope, took out an official looking sheet of paper, and began to read. "Dear Miss Lorelai Leigh Gilmore III, We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to Yale University, starting in the fall term of 2003---"
"Eeeeeek!!" Lorelai launched herself at her daughter, "You're going to Yale!!!!"

DuGrey Residence, Hartford, Conn.
Tristan DuGrey sat stiffly in an uncomfortable high-backed chair in front of his father's desk.
"So, son. Now that you're out of Military School, it's time to think of your higher education. Now, you've been accepted at these schools." Robert DuGrey passed his on a small stack of papers.
Drake.. Columbia. NYU. Yale. Harvard.
"It is ultimately your decision, but as you know, me, like the 4 generations of DuGreys before me, have all attended Yale. But know, that no matter where you choose to go, your Mother and I are both very proud of you."
That night, Tristan sat in his room, oblivious to the music that was pumping out of his expensive stereo unit, and looked back and forth between his school choices, and his Chilton Yearbook.
He studied each one carefully, and then looked them all over, again.
There wasn't really a choice to be made. He'd made that choice when he was a young boy, and his father had taken him on a trip to Yale to show him where he had went to school. And that 9 year old Tristan could picture himself sitting in the Lecture Halls, reading in the Libraries, and just lounging in the Common Rooms.
So, really, he knew he was going to Yale, but what he didn't know was where SHE was going.
Rory Gilmore, His Mary.
