Rory Gilmore's Guide to the Gregory boys

I just read a book called Megan Meade's guide to the McGowan Boys and that gave me this idea. It's dumb, but who cares.

Prologue

"RORY!" Lorelei shouted running into the Crap Shack. She found Rory on the couch reading Pride and Prejudice for who knows what time. "Rory! Stop reading. O man I can't believe it."

"Calm down Mom. Breathe for goodness sakes." Rory said, not looking up from her book.

"Rory, Luke proposed!" Lorelei shouted at her daughter.

"What!" Rory shouted. Finally she thought to herself. She knew they had been in love with each other since, well since they first met. The whole town knew, as a matter of fact. "Congratulations!"

"He's taking me to Europe!" Lorelei shouted, excited. "Next week!"

Rory was astounded. Her mom and Luke going to Europe? Not only that, but where was she going to live. School started in a week and a half, it's not like she could go to Europe. Harvard would not accept students who skip school to go to Europe.

"Uhh, mom. Hate to be Johnny rain cloud, but where am I going to live?" Lorelei paused for a moment.

"Well, I see two options; you could transfer to a school in Europe." Lorelei suggested, hoping she would take that option, but knowing she wouldn't. Rory loved Stars Hollow and could never be that far away from it.

"What's option two?" Rory asked.

"Well, Luke has a really close friend, Ray Gregory. You could live with him and his family in Hartford." Lorelei said slowly. "I'll give you some time to think about it. Tell me later."

Rory didn't know what to do. On one hand there's Harvard, but on the other hand there was her mom. She didn't know if she could do without either. She lay on her bed for several hours alternating between crying and sleeping.

She knew what she had to do but she didn't want to. Finally she went back out of her room. She had made her decision

Lorelei was sitting at the table drinking coffee when Rory stepped out.

"Mom…" Rory said. "I'll miss you when I'm at the Gregory's."

Lorelei sighed. It was going to be hard. They both knew it would be. But if Rory wanted to get into Harvard, she had to stay in the states. And they both knew how much she wanted to get into Harvard. It was going to be hard but they both knew they could do it.

"So… what do you know about the Gregory's? Rory asked. She wanted to get all the facts before moving in with them.

Well," Lorelei said hesitating, "They live in Hartford. And… they have seven boys." Lorelei said cringing.

"Oh great," Rory said with a sigh. She knew nothing about boy. She had never dated anyone. She had never even had a kiss unless you counted when Thomas Finalry grabbed her and kissed her behind the gazebo in fifth grade at the town's annual bird calling festival. She didn't. How in the world would she be able to live with seven boys if she couldn't even get up the courage to talk to Sean Watson, her crush for three years running? She sighed again. This was going to be hard, but it was for the best. Wasn't it?

OK this is the prologue of a story I'm thinking about writing. I most likely won't updae that often, maybe once a week, maybe every twoo weeks, maybe once a month. I'm taking my time to write it. This idea is based loosely around a book, but isn't going to be exactly like it. Oh, and this takes place at the beginning of Rory's Sophmore year, so nothing in the show has happened. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it.
