A/N: This is the first chapter. & my first fanfic. I'm a bit slow with this, but I'll get there eventually, tell me how you like it! Give me inspiration to continue!


"No, I'm not waiting, its now or never!"

"I don't like ultimatums!"

"I don't like Mondays, but unfortunately they come around eventually."

"I can't just jump like this."

"Well, I'm sorry to hear that. And I have to go."

Lorelai woke up in a cold sweat and looked around, she couldn't have been going through the same thing twice.
She looked at her fuzzy clock and it said 3:45, it was just a dream.

"Thank god" she whispered to herself, almost forgetting that someone else was in the room

"Lorelai?, are you ok?" Luke sat up and kissed her shoulder lightly, but enough to give her chills down her spine.
"Yeah I'm fine, just a bad dream."
"Alright then, well lets get back to sleep because I have to wake up in an hour to open up the diner, remember, Caesar is vacation."

She gives Luke a kiss and then lays her head back on the pillow, trying to force herself to sleep. It doesn't work after twenty minutes so she lays on her back and stares at the ceiling.

Lorelai thought about all that has happened in the past year, so many things have changed, life changing things and she knew that things were bound to get much better.

~~~~~Around 9am~~~~~

"Coffee, Coffee, Coffee!!!" Lorelai says as she puts her purse on the stool next to her and sits down.
"Hey doll how ya doing?" Babette says across the room.
"I'm doing good Babette, I'm just waiting for my service.... Wheres Luke?"
"Oh he had to run over to Dooses to pick up some stuff for burgers, his produce order didn't come in today"
"Well since Caesar is on vacation, then who is here?"
"Oh he hired this stud! He has a great ass, let me tell you. Well it's probably not as good as Luke's, but you know, its a nice ass. Anyway, this guys name is Jeremy and hes in the back cooking Kirks special order, you know how kirk is."
"yeah I do, thanks Babette, maybe for once I can actually get my own coffee before Luke comes back in and finds out"
Just as Lorelai got up out of her seat and got behind the counter, she was almost on home plate when Luke walks in as she's pouring the coffee.

"What do you think you are doing?! Get out from behind the counter, you know better than that Lorelai, You don't get covered under my insurance!"
"Lukeee, but you weren't here and I needed coffee. Plus stud man over there was making Kirks order, and you know how Kirk is with his butter to toast ratio"
"Lorelai."
"I know, sack of potatoes, got it."

She smiled and gave him a big kiss, she was so glad for things to be back to normal.


Rory has been on the campaign trail for about three months now, and shes got the routine down. Its not her usual scenery, but shes glad shes back to writing, doing what she loves the most.

"Good morning Abbey, hows the kids doing?"
"Good, good. I just got off the phone with my youngest Micheal. He misses me like crazy, but he knows I'll be home to visit them soon.

"Ah, thats good, at least hes acting like a big guy and not crying to you, making things worse."

Rory had become good friends with Abbey, she reminds her a lot of her own mother, which she misses a whole lot. She actually has a few other friends too. Steve, Rachael, and Nick all hang out with her after work when they have free time. The consistency of being with them keeps her mind off of other things, like for example Logan. She hasn't tried to call him, because she knew if she did she would break down. This is not something Rory Gilmore would normally do.

She hasn't ever wallowed after a break-up, unless you count dean. But she was sixteen and it was her first boyfriend, that was a known fact. She is now almost twenty-four and she can't be doing that anymore. She's a woman, a strong independent woman that can deal with not having a boyfriend, or so she kept telling herself.

Just as she was getting all her notes together for the rally her phone starts to ring.

"hello? Rory my love are you there?"


"Finn, is that you? Hows Costa Rica doing for you?

"Who else would have a stunning voice like this?? eh, I'm back in the states now, I think the ladies over there have something wrong with their sight cause none of them would even dare to take a double look at me. Of course Colin got into a bloody mess there involvinga mariachi band, some cheap rum and nude horseback. I'm glad I have that great story to tell for years my love cause as of tomorrow I am a CEO of Rittmanns Company."


"Wow, I hope you have pictures cause I would love to get them from you, to do some mocking, and of course have some blackmail saved up on Colin, I can never seem to get some on him, maybe now I will. Congrats on the promotion. I know it was hard for you to chill out and get some sense into you, but I told you it would pay off in the end. Look at you Mr. CEO!"

"Maybe now that I am the CEO I can finally get the darling Rory Gilmore to go out with me for once, Do I have any luck with that hmmm? And yes I already sent you them, they should be there by tomorrow. There's a great one of Me in a banana hammock. That's what you can look forward to my love, just picture it. Well I've got to go, some bourbon is calling my name and I must have at it."

"Well Finn, I know that you have tried to improve your 'romantic ways' but its not doing wonders for me. Thanks for the pics I have something to look forward to now. And have some bourbon for me, you know you want to. Bye Finn, talk to you soon."

She hangs up the phone and laughs, she can ever get sick of those phone calls from grabs her stuff and pushes through the crowd, "its going to be jam-packed today, I can already see it" she mumbles to herself as the future president gets ready to speak.
