Disclaimer, I do NOT own anything, even though I wish I did. Characters are loosely based on Gilmore Girls, and the song Don't Stop Believing by Journey.

A/NThis is my very first fanfiction. I think the idea is good but, I hope I don't completely butcher the story. Reviews are greatly appreciated. Thanks - Jeweles

Just a small town girl
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train going anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised, downtown NY
He took the midnight train going anywhere

Rory sighed deeply. She was standing on the railway terminal at the New Haven railroad station. After graduating from Yale last June, Rory had spent the summer with her mother. They had finally truly reconnected after their terrible fight about Logan, the stolen yacht, and her dropping out of Yale for awhile. Rory was headed to New York City to find herself a job in journalism. She had several scheduled interviews within the next week and was planning on spending some time with a few old friends. She glanced at her watch, sighed again, then readjusted the bag on her shoulder.
"I wish there was a train station that was closer to Stars Hollow," she thought to herself. "Stupid small towns." But in her heart, Rory knew Stars Hollow would always be her home and the place that held the best memories for her. Finally, the New Haven train pulled in (only about 20 minutes late) and Rory boarded with her bags. She watched the twinkling lights of the station as the train slowly started for NYC.

Meanwhile, a lonely and cold looking figure stood outside a burger king across from the Poughkeepsie train station in upstate New York. Jess had his usual leather jacket, and his dark clothes stood out against the neon lights of the few surrounding stores. He was smoking and had a book tucked into his back pocket. He glanced absentmindedly at his watch, then threw the cigarette to the ground. His thoughts drifted back to the past few days, which he had spent visiting Liz and T.J. at a Renaissance fair in upstate New York. It was the last fair of the season in New England before the couple followed the circuit down south for the winter months. Already the early November air made the nights seem colder and the days shorter. Too bad he would be spending Thanksgiving alone this year, having just broken up with his previous girlfriend Rachel. Jess sighed as he watched the train pull into the station. He made his way across the street and boarded the train, happy to be heading home to his apartment and small book store.
A/N And that's all folks...please please review and tell me if it SUCKS!!
