Author note: Hi! I know this is something that almost everyone is writing about. But me and my friend wanted to write it anyway and trust me our stories almost always turn out differently than everyone else's.

So Please give this one a chance. Thanks and we hope you like it!!

It was only about six in the morning and Lorelai and Rory where still at Luke's eating their breakfast before Rory had to leave. Lorelai was going to drive her to the bus station as soon as they got done at Luke's. Lorelai and Rory had somewhat of an unspoken agreement that they weren't going to say good-bye to each other because they knew that they would both fall apart. So, they stayed away from the subject of Rory leaving while they were eating and just focused on small talk.

"Luuuukkke, can we get some more coffee to go, please?" Rory sang out to Luke who was getting things ready for the breakfast rush in about another half hour.

"Yeah, give me me a sec." Luke said back, a little distracted.

"Man, even when you're back together with the man, it still doesn't guarantee coffee when I want it." Rory says to her mom.

Luke hadn't been able to stop smiling all morning and he wasn't even able to sleep the night before because he was happy about him and Lorelai. The whole town thought that the Bon Voyage party was for Rory, but the only reason Luke pulled it all together at the last minute was for Lorelai. He knew that that party was a little tiny piece of closure for Rory leaving Lorelai and going out to start her life. He did it for Rory too, but mainly for Lorelai. He messed it up with her before, first with not telling Lorelai about April, then using April to push her out of his life. Lorelai had her share of faults, especially with sleeping with Chris when she and Luke weren't exactly over yet. Luke still hadn't exactly gotten over that, even though it was a year ago. He knew that if she hadn't have slept with Christopher, that it was a really big possibility that they could have been married by now when Luke came to her house with his truck packed with everything possible for them to elope. He was really happy that they were together now, and the only thing that scared him was that he wasn't exactly 100 sure that they were back together. Sure, they kissed and Luke gave her the necklace that he got from Liz that was just suppose to be a back up gift for Rory, but they hadn't really talked about anything yet.

"Okay, here's your coffee and some donuts for the road." Luke says and hands both Lorelai and Rory coffee and a bag that had donuts in it.

"Thanks Luke, I'll have to make these last for a long time." Rory says with a smile.

"Yeah, maybe you could just eat each donut very, very slowly." Lorelai suggests and they both laugh. Luke could tell that Lorelai's laugh was a cover up for the sadness she is feeling. Lorelai looks at her watch. "Well kid, I guess we should probably get going."

Rory nodded, sad, but excited at the same time. She stood up with her coffee in one hand and her purse in the other. She walked over a little more and hugged Luke.

"Bye Luke. Thank you so much for that party you threw for me last night, it was perfect. You've always been like a dad to me," Rory says then pulls away and smiles sadly.

Luke smiled. "You're welcome. Go conquer what ever it is your suppose to conquer."

"You better take care of my mom. Make sure she eats, feeds Paulanka, does her laundry, and at least cleans the house once every few months." Rory says to try to lighten the mood.

"Consider it done." Luke says.

"Thanks Luke. I promise I'll keep in touch."

"Okay hun, you ready?" Rory nods. "Alright, well go in the car and I'll be there in a minute." Rory goes outside to the car, leaving Luke and Lorelai alone in the diner.

"Thanks again for throwing that party last night Luke. It really meant a lot...to me and to Rory."

Luke nodded. "You're welcome. I'm glad you guys liked it for a spur of the moment kind of thing."

"Yeah, we loved it trust me." Then she hears Rory honk the horn. Lorelai suddenly becomes very sad.

"Well, I guess I have to go drop her off now." Lorelai says in a sad voice.

"She'll be back on holidays and stuff you know... Just think of this like she's going off to college again and you guys are going over to Yale to unload her stuff, except this time you don't have my truck and I'm not hauling a mattress in and out of her dorm... Sorry, bad example. But the point is that she isn't really leaving for good."

She sighs. "Yeah I guess you're right...well I'll talk to you later Luke." She says and starts leaving the diner.

"Hey," Luke says before she walks out the door and waits for her to turn around before he continues talking. "Call me or come over if you need anything or if you wanna talk, okay?"

She smiles and nods towards. "Thanks Luke, I will." With that said she leaves the diner and Rory and herself head to the bus station.

"You have to send me Luke's coffee and donuts every week," Rory says, not serious as they're almost at bus station. "Oh, and Danish too, and pie."

"Totally, or we try and persuade him to open up a chain of Luke's diners all across the country."

"Oh, you have to add that to the 100 Ways to Annoy Luke list that we made last night; trying to talk him into opening a chain of Luke's Diners."

"Oh I definitely will." Then they pull up to the bus station. "Well, I guess this is it."

"Yeah, I, uh, I guess it is." Rory turned and looked at Lorelai sadly then she unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the Jeep and started taking her suitcases out of the back.

They go and wait for the bus, while hugging each other. "I'm going to miss you Rory."

Rory's chin quivered and she felt her eyes fill with tears. "I'm going to miss you too, mom."

They both start crying. "You better call me the minute you get there."

"I will, I swear."

Just then the bus pulls up. "Alright, well this is really it this time...I love you Rory, knock'em dead."

"I love you too, mom." Rory picks up her suitcase and her other bag and starts walking towards the bus. She turns around right before she get's on.

"Bye mom." She says sadly then starts walking up the small steps on the bus.

"Bye." Lorelai says softly and waves until the bus is out of sight. Slowly Lorelai heads back to the car and drives back home to her lonely house.

When she got home there was a message on the answering machine from Luke that says:

"Hey, it's me. When you get this message, I think Rory'll probably be gone. Don't worry about her though; I'm sure she'll be fine. I know you'll miss her a lot too, but you'll see her again before you know it... If you want to talk then just call me or come by. I assume I'll see you sometime again today, so I'll see you then. Bye."

A smile appears on her face as the message ends. She picks up the phone, dials Luke's number and waits for him to pick him.

"Luke?" Her voice cracks over the phone.
