I know I've been away for a while. Sorry about that! I was ill for a few weeks and then got extremely busy at work. I'm suffering from writer's block with my other two stories at the moment but I promise I will continue with them asap. Anyway, I've recently been inspired to do another twin story. I really enjoyed writing The Gilmore Boy a while ago so I thought I'd do another one but with a twin sister this time.

So basically instead of just having Rory, Lorelai had Victoria as well (Vicky for short) and the three of them are a tight unit. Vicky is more outgoing than Rory and is a bit more like Lorelai. This will start at the beginning of season 3. Everything that's happened in the show has happened in this story except for the fact that Jess and Rory are just friends. He still had the car crash with Rory but he actually likes Vicky so there was no Rory going to New York and no Rory/Jess kiss. Rory's still with Dean but probably not for much longer and also this will most likely be a javajunkie as well. Also, Vicky works part time at Luke's. I think that's about it so I'll get on with the first chapter. Hope you like it!

Chapter 1

Vicky walked into the diner for her normal shift on a Saturday morning. Rory was still in Washington but she was due back that afternoon. "Hey Luke!" She said grabbing her apron from behind the counter and putting it on.

"Oh hey." Luke said. "I thought Rory was coming back today? You know you don't have to work today if you want to go collect her with your mom." He said.

"She's not back until this afternoon so I can still do my shift. Thanks though." Vicky smiled.

"Ok well I have to pop out quickly to run an errand in a moment." Luke said. He saw Jess appear from behind the curtain. "Jess will help out though, won't you?" He said.

"Not like I have a choice." Jess grumbled.

"Nope." Luke said. "You stay here, you follow my rules."

"Yeah yeah!" Jess rolled his eyes.

"Don't let him skive." Luke told Vicky.

Vicky smirked. "Don't worry, I won't!"

"Good. I'll see you in about an hour." Luke said.

"Ok. Don't worry, we won't burn down the place." Vicky grinned.

"Good to know." Luke smirked and then left.

Vicky turned to Jess. "So you're back then?" She said.

"Evidently." Jess said.

"You could have let us know. Rory thought it was her fault that you got sent back to New York." Vicky said.

"Sorry." Jess mumbled.

Vicky watched him for a moment. "You know, me and Rory defended you. We told everyone it wasn't your fault. It was an accident."

Jess glanced up at Vicky. "Thanks." He nodded.

"So why did you come back? Thought you hated it here. Thought you'd be glad to be sent back." She said.

"I don't hate everything here." He shrugged.

Vicky let out a snort. "Since when? All you did was complain!"

"You and Rory are ok. And Luke's alright." He shrugged.

Vicky smirked. "What a compliment." She joked.

Jess smirked. "I aim to please."

"Yeah? Well you can please me by cleaning off those tables and then getting those customers' orders." She grinned.

Jess groaned but started walking over to the tables. "Slave driver." He muttered causing Vicky to smirk.

About an hour later, Luke returned and was surprised to see a well running diner and happy customers.

"Hey Luke!" Vicky smiled. "Everything's been fine."

"Glad to hear it." He nodded. He glanced over at Jess who was filling up the coffee jug. "Did he help out?" He asked.

"Yeah he's been great. Done everything I've asked." Vicky nodded.

"Really?" Luke asked surprised.

"Thanks for the vote of confidence, Uncle Luke." Jess said dryly as he walked past them to fill up some coffee.

"Honestly, he's been helpful and polite. He's done lots." Vicky said.

"I am here you know." Jess said walking back past them.

"Ok well you can get off if you want. Thanks for holding the fort for me." Luke said.

"It's fine." She said. She glanced at Jess. "Actually, I was wondering if you'd let Jess off as well. We thought about maybe going to look round the festival." She said.

"You want to walk round Taylor's insane festival?" Luke asked Jess surprised.

"It's better than here." Jess said sarcastically.

"And there's the Jess I know." Luke said.

"So can we?" Vicky asked. "Please? I'll be the best employee, I promise!"

"You already are my best employee." Luke smirked. "Yeah sure, you two go and have fun. It's quiet here anyway."

"Thanks Luke!" Vicky grinned and grabbed Jess' arm and dragged him out the diner. "You can thank me if you want." She said to Jess.

"For what?" Jess asked.

"For getting you out of another shift." Vicky said.

"Are we seriously going to go round this stupid festival?" Jess asked as they walked towards the square.

"You can go back to the diner if you want." Vicky retorted. "Seriously! I thought I was doing you a favour..." She huffed in mock annoyance.

Jess smirked. "Thanks." He said.

"You're welcome." Vicky grinned.

Jess rolled his eyes. "God you're work."

"But that's why you like me!" She grinned, her eyes twinkling.

"Sure." Jess smirked.

Suddenly Lorelai came round the corner and she stopped in her tracks when she saw her daughter with Jess. "Hi!" She said surprised.

"Hi mom!" Vicky smiled.

"Jess! What a surprise." She said, forcing a smile onto her face. "What are you doing back?"

"Mom!" Vicky exclaimed.

"I just missed this town too much." Jess said sarcastically.

Lorelai let out a forced laugh. "Sure." She said. "So..uh..what are you two up to?" She asked.

"Looking round the festival." Vicky said.

"Oh...right..." Lorelai said. She stood there for a moment, not really liking the fact that her daughter was hanging out with Jess.

"Ok..well I'll meet up with you at 2. Rory's flight comes in at 3 right?" Vicky said looking at her mom weirdly.

"Uh yeah..3.." Lorelai said.

"Ok well I'll meet you at home then. Were you headed to Luke's?" She asked.

Lorelai glanced over at the diner and Vicky saw the sad expression on her mom's face. She knew how much the fight between her and Luke was getting her mom down. "Uh no..I was just trying to find Kirk." She said.

"Kirk?" Vicky asked surprised.

"Yeah. He sold us some cream for the inn but apparently it's not the best quality. It causes rashes and stuff.." Lorelai said.

Vicky stifled a laugh. "You know to never buy anything from Kirk!" She joked.

Lorelai did smile at that. "Well I was busy and tired. I had my defenses down." She said.

Vicky smirked. "Well I think I saw him going that way."

"Ok thanks hon. So 2 o'clock?" She said.

"2." Vicky nodded.

Lorelai nodded and then, after taking one last glance at Jess, left them and headed in the direction that Vicky had pointed.

"Your mom so hates me." Jess said.

"Do you blame her?" Vicky raised her eyebrows. "It's not like you make an effort with her."

"She doesn't with me either!" Jess protested.

"What are you, four?" Vicky hid a smirk. "Look, my mom holds grudges ok but she can also change her judgement if you prove her wrong. She's fair. Can't you just try?"

"Why is it so important to you if we get on or not?" Jess said.

"Because..well...we're friends! And it would just be nice for you two to not hate each other's guts." She said.

Jess glanced at her. "Ok, I'll try."

Vicky looked over at him and smiled. "Thank you." She said sincerely. "So want to go eat ourselves silly?" She grinned, linking arms with her.

"I knew I'd regret coming out with you." Jess grumbled but let Vicky drag him off.

"So Paris actually had a date?" Vicky asked shocked from the backseat. They had picked up Rory from the airport and were on their way drive.

"Yep!" Rory grinned.

"Wow! I never thought Paris would go on a date." She said.

"He's actually really nice. And it's nice to see Paris happy. Because if Paris is happy, the whole world is happy." Rory said.

Vicky laughed. "Yeah that's true!"

"So any gossip from here?" Rory asked turning round to Vicky.

"Yeah any gossip?" Lorelai said pointedly to Vicky.

Vicky rolled her eyes. "Jess is back." She told Rory.

"He is?" Rory asked surprised. "Since when?"

"I don't know but I only found out today." Vicky said.

"Oh." Rory said. "Well good. I'm glad."

"You are?" Lorelai raised her eyebrows.

"Mom, the accident wasn't his fault." Rory sighed. "He shouldn't get blamed for it."

"Hmm..." Lorelai said.

"He knows we don't blame him." Vicky assured Rory, ignoring their mom.

"Really?" Rory asked relieved.

"Definitely. I told him, don't worry." She said.

"Ok good." Rory said giving her a small smile.

"So I got you out of dinner with the grandparents so you can spend time with Dean." Lorelai said changing the subject.

"Oh, you didn't need to do that." Rory said.

"I thought you'd want to see Dean?" Lorelai asked confused.

"I do but..." Rory said.

"But what? Now you can see him." Lorelai said.

Rory sighed. "Ok. Well thanks."

Vicky watched as her sister stared out of the window. She knew Rory's relationship with Dean was having trouble. She'd seen it. She knew Dean was jealous of Jess which was stupid because she knew Jess wasn't into Rory that way and that they were just friends. She also knew Rory would never cheat. "You don't want to come o dinner anyway." She said wanting to ease the tension in the car. "Mom's telling them about dad today."

Rory's face softened and she turned to Lorelai. "Sorry mom." She said.

Lorelai gave her a small smile. "It's ok."

"Thanks for getting me off." Rory said sincerely. She knew her mom was only doing it because she thought she was doing a nice thing.

Vicky smiled as the tension was eased and they started chatting again.

Rory was sat with Dean in the gazebo after having grabbed food at Al's.

"So I saw Vicky with Jess today." Dean said casually.

"You did?" Rory asked.

"Yeah. I didn't know he was back. Did you?" He asked.

"Not until Vicky told me today." Rory said. "So how's Clara doing with her horse riding?" She asked wanting to change the subject.

"Fine." He said. "So how come he's back? And why was Vicky hanging round with him?"

"I guess he wanted to come back and knowing Luke, he let him stay. And I guess Vicky was hanging out with him because they're friends." Rory said losing her patience.

"He's a jerk. She shouldn't hang out with him." Dean said.

Rory frowned. "Why do you even care?"

"Because...because well she's your sister and I don't want her getting hurt." He said.

"I think she can handle herself." Rory said.

"I know but I just think he's a jerk." Dean grumbled.

"Look I know you hate him ok? But Vicky's her own person and she can be friends with who she wants." Rory said annoyed. She suddenly saw her mom's jeep park up across from the diner and her and Vicky got out of it. She could tell it had gone badly at dinner.

"I still think Vicky's better off without him." Dean carried on.

"Urghh I'm sick of this!" Rory suddenly exclaimed. "You don't even know Jess! And you don't have the right to tell my sister who she can hang out with! I need to go."

"No wait! Rory, I'm sorry." Dean said.

Rory sighed. "I'll ring you tomorrow ok?"

"Rory..." Dean said.

"Dean please. I'm not in the mood today. I'm really tired from the flight." Rory said.

"Ok.." Dean said. "You'll call tomorrow?"

"I'll call tomorrow." Rory nodded.

"Ok." Dean said. He leant forward and gave Rory a kiss. "Bye."

"Bye." Rory said and sighed as she watched him leave.

"I'm sorry mom." Vicky said as she got out of the jeep with Lorelai.

"It's not your fault." Lorelai said.

"I know but you didn't deserve that. This was dad's fault, not yours." Vicky said.

"Vicky..." Lorelai sighed.

"No! Don't even try and defend him! I hate him for this. He treated you like dirt and he broke yet another promise to me and Rory. I'm done with him." Vicky said angrily.

"You don't mean that." Lorelai said softly.

"I do." Vicky scowled.

Lorelai glanced over at the diner and saw Luke cashing up behind the counter.

Vicky followed her gaze and her face softened. "Why don't you go talk to him?" She said.

"Who? Your dad?" Lorelai said confused.

"No. Luke." Vicky said. "I know you miss him, mom. Go vent to your friend."

"He hates me. I was awful to him." Lorelai said quietly.

"He doesn't hate you." Vicky said. "He could never hate you." She said. She suddenly caught something out of the corner of her eye. She turned and saw Rory and Dean engaged in some sort of argument. She turned back to her mom. "Go on, mom. Go talk to him. Go make up."

Lorelai sighed. "Maybe I will. I could really do with some of his coffee right now." She admitted.

Vicky smiled. "Go on then. I'm going to go meet up with Rory. We'll meet you at home."

"Ok." Lorelai said. She smiled at her daughter. "Thanks hon."

"Anytime." Vicky smiled giving her a hug. "I love you mom."

"I love you too." Lorelai said.

Vicky smiled as she watched her mom cross the road and enter the diner. She then turned and walked towards a defeated looking Rory. "Hey." She said.

"Hey." Rory said. "How was dinner?"

"Not good." Vicky said. "How was Dean?"

Rory sighed. "We fought. Again."

"Yeah...I kind of saw that." Vicky admitted. "Are you ok?"

"I think I need to break up with him." Rory said quietly.

Vicky wasn't surprised but she knew how hard it must be for her sister. "I'm sorry." She said softly.

"I just...we're not working anymore. He gets jealous all the time and then we fight. And those feelings I had for him before...I just, I don't feel it anymore." She admitted.

Vicky sighed and put her arm round her sister's shoulders. "I'm sorry."

"Thanks." Rory gave her a small smile.

"I think you're doing the right thing though." Vicky admitted.

"You do?"

"Yeah. I've noticed the change in you two. Remember, I was there when you were all loved up!" She joked, making Rory smile a little. She smiled sympathetically at her sister. "It's not there anymore. That spark between you."

"I know." Rory admitted quietly.

"Come on, I told mom we'd meet her at home." She said.

"Where is she?" Rory asked.

"Making up with Luke." Vicky said.

"About time!" Rory exclaimed.

Vicky laughed. "I know!"

Rory laughed. "It's good to be home. I had a great time in Washington but I did miss home. And you."

"I missed you too." Vicky smiled. "Fancy a movie marathon tonight?"

"Absolutely!" Rory grinned. "Thanks for cheering me up."

"That's what sisters are for!" Vicky grinned.

Rory grinned and the two of them headed home.

So I hope you enjoyed the first chapter! Please review and let me know what you think and if I should continue! Thank you! :)
