A/N: This is after the last season finale. It is so sad, that they stopped making episodes. This is my continuation of the story. I really hope you like it. You can leave me ideas of what you want to hear happen, if you like.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of this. :,(

Rory was driving down the freeway. She was exhausted from her first reporting job. It has been a year since she has seen anyone. She missed her mother, her grand-parents, and her friends. Even the slightly insane Paris. This was her first job after graduating, and was hectic. Yet, now that it's done, she sort of misses it. Every day, they followed stories, wrote what they saw. It was not her dream job, but for a start, it was great.

Every chance she got, she wrote to her family back home, sending the articles she had written. She is very close to her family, but she had no clue what she was going to be doing once she got home.

Ring! Ring! "Hello?" Rory said, she had just arrived into Connecticut, headed to good old Stars Hollow.

"Hey!" Ah, it was the familiar sound of Lorelai Gilmore, her mother. "Honey, how are you? Oh, how long has it been? I miss you."

It was starting to drizzle out side, the soft pitter patter of rain falling on her windshield. It was soothing to her.

"Yeah, I know. But I will be home in about an hour. I miss you too," she talked softly because she was tired and just wanted to get home.

"I will see you soon. I love you," Lorelai could tell she didn't want to talk, so she would see her soon anyways.

Rory got off the phone and continued driving. She passes by a very familiar area. Everything seemed like déjà vu to her. Then she saw it. She saw a sign that said, "Chilton Private High School, next right." She had a shiver go up her spine.

She took the right, and she was in the parking lot of her old school. The memories came flooding back like a wave crashing onto the shore of a beach. The newspaper, Max, Tristan, and Madeline and Louise, they all were there. They always were there, in a special part of her heart.

She drove off, these emotions very strong. Tristan, he brought up some memories. She always wondered what would have happened with him. What if he didn't have to leave? Why did he have to always be "bad?"

Rory was walking around the school by now, looking at the marvelous architecture, thinking about these things. She sighed, "Did I love him?" Now, she had said this quietly, everything around her was silent.

"Who?" asked a deep voice.

Rory almost fell over. "Oh god, I'm sorry. I didn't know anyone was here, and what are you doing here?" she could not help but let out a small laugh, for, surprise surprise, it was Tristan. He looked even better than she remembered. It had been so long.

"Now, now. You didn't think I forgot about you, Mary, did you?" he said, teasingly. She couldn't help but smile at the name he had given her such a long time ago. He came closer to her. She moved back a little.

"Haha, cute. Tristan, I haven't seen you in years. How have you been?"

"It has been a while, hasn't it? I've been good. I was just coming through, and saw the sign, then I saw you. So what have you been doing? Obviously went to college, no?"

"Yes, I did actually, I went to Yale. So are you just getting back? It's so funny we both ended here, after, what, like 6 years? A lot had happened since you left. Paris and I are friends now."

"Whoa, so many things at a time. You went to Yale? Rory, that's great! You and Paris? Friends? I guess a lot has changed. I have changed, too, you know."

"Yeah, I'm sure. How about I give you my number and we get together sometime? I really want to get home; I've been gone for a year. I want to get home. But, we really should get together." She got out a scratch piece of paper and scribbled down her number while he nervously stood waiting. Why was he so nervous?

She handed him the paper. "I'm so glad we ran into each other, and I will call you." He gave her a hug, "Good bye for now," he said. She felt so safe in his embrace.

"Bye," she said. She went back to her car and continued home.

While driving, she kept getting these weird feelings in her stomach. Almost like someone was following her. Once she arrived in Stars Hollow, though, all her fears washed away. She had 14 minutes until she was meeting her mother at Luke's Diner. What did she have to worry about now?

She was home.
