BEEP BEEP BEEP!

"URG!" I immediately protested to the loud blaring coming from the left side of my bed. It was 5:00AM says my clock it was my usual time to wake up and head to the gym. Groaning some more I finally picked myself up and took in a deep breathe, the nice intoxicating smell of vanilla goodness wafted its way to my senses. Ah, Coffee the reason I'd be up right now. Coffee is the main ingredient of the Gilmore life, it's very important to my mother and I it makes us pretty and keeps us up when I have a hard day. You can never go wrong with coffee.

"Rory wake up, coffee's a callin'"

I quickly got changed into my Leo and pulled on my sweat pants and my favorite hoodie and padded my way out into the kitchen. My mother as usual having the energy of the pink energizer bunny, was dancing around the kitchen cooking breakfast to Call Me Maybe. Did I mention this is the third time this week?

"It's hard to look right at you baby! But here's my number so call me maybe!" My mom sings as the bridge comes up grabs her phone and dials my cell literally calling me. "Before you came into my life I missed you soooo bad!" she screeched through the phone and into the surround sound kitchen. It was definitely too early in the morning for this, especially for the third time.

"Mom, don't you think that song is getting old?"

"Never! It is the theme song of your youth!"

"Your point?" I asked clearly not getting her point

"It's for your youth therefore it will keep me young if I sing it too"

"No mom sorry the song doesn't have magic powers to suddenly make you age 10 years"

"Your no fun in the morning" Lorelai said with a pout

I ignored her and ate the nice plate of toast with eggs covered in cheese and bacon, it wasn't healthy but hey I am a Gilmore. Chowing down I finished my breakfast while gulping down the last of my coffee.

"Ready kid" Lorelai asked just as I began to get up

"Let's hit it"

The ride to the gym wasn't long until the song that haunted my mornings came on. You guessed it Call Me Maybe. The song was catchy at first but once you hear it all the time you seriously get annoyed and just want to shoot the radio host for playing it. While my mother sang along I prayed until it was over. We finally arrived to the gym I bounced out happy to be out of that car and reading to warm up. Entering the gym I always seemed to be surprised that it was this big every day and that I was actually here I almost couldn't believe it, when I was little and I first told my mom what I wanted to do she was hesitant, it is known in our family that Gilmores don't exercise that was probably the first rule my mom had said to me when I was born but ignoring that rule I did what my mother wouldn't…

I became a Gymnast.

Breathe. In. Out.

Thump I landed on my feet the sound echoing through my head

BAM!

Landing my front flip brought more concentration through my mind as I followed it up with my body moving making sure I looked flawless and beautiful. Backing up I began to flip backwards twice. Then struck my usual pose after that I did two leaps and then extended my left leg out and walked down the end of the beam, turning I walked half way down and doing a front flip following it with another backflip. I began to do a bigger leap sending me further down the beam and doing another front flip. I began walking halfway down the beam and did a sideways flip turning again I did another leap and another front flip. Taking a deep breathe I began to do my one leg twist, checking myself quickly I turned again and walked more down the beam making my usual hand movements walking to the end of the beam and breathing again to take my dismount. Doing the famous Patterson and sticking the landing.

Walking off the matt I headed towards my coach waiting for his words of wisdom

"Good job Rory, only problem was the balance check you had, there is no room for mistakes my dear we have national qualifiers in a week and I need my top gymnast in prime shape and perfect as ever"

"Will do coach"

"Good, now take five minutes and get water talk to your mom do whatever"

"Kay"

I love my coach he was very laid back but he was very strict when it came to training. Walking over to my best friend Steph she had just finished her floor routine putting her hyper energy into good use with the flare of her moves and the beauty she brings to it all.

"Hey Steph you look great out there"

"Thanks, I'm still a little messy with my landings I just hope I'm ready for nationals"

"Rory you've been doing this since you were six, your ready for this"

i smiled back at steph she always knew the right things to say to make me feel better.

"Thanks Steph"

"No probs now go work on your vault"

"i thought you said i was fine"

"Yeah but i love to watch your ass when you do" she said with a wink, smirking i walked over to vault not before winking at Steph and then doing a full double twist
