Disclaimer: I do not own Gilmore Girls :(

AN: Now, this is my first story. It is going to suck. It is a one shot. Unless you review and want me to continue. But it will suck so……review anyway.

"Wow this food is really good Luke." Lorelai said.

"Yeah really good" Rory added with her mouth stuffed with pancakes.

"Well I want you to be full enough so you don't have to eat that crappy airline food."

"A Gilmore to be full enough? Impossible." Lorelai replied.

"Oh, hey mom look at the time!"

"Oh um ok…..Luke we gotta go."

"Ok." He said sadly

"I'll be right back" Lorelai said. She knew Luke was like a father to Rory, and they would need some time alone. She couldn't believe that her baby girl would be going on a plane, miles and miles away to start her first real job. Although Rory was one of the most independent girls she knew, as a mother she was constantly worried that she couldn't do it all by herself.

"So….I guess this is it" Luke said

"Not for long." Rory replied.

"Yeah. I hope so."

They hugged. They didn't need to say anymore. Rory would have said thank you a thousand times, Luke would have told her she was the best reporter alive and that she was like a daughter to him, but one hug said it all.

"I'll miss you." Luke said. "So will your mom."

"Me too." She said with her eyes brimming with tears.

"Back." Lorelai walked in.

"Ok." Rory said.

"So…..bye Luke."

"Bye Rory."

They hugged one last time. Rory looked at Luke…then around the diner. She couldn't count the memories that were there.

"Hey Duuuuuuuuuuke!!!!!!" Lorelai ran in with Rory running behind.

"I told you to stop calling me that." He grumbled.

"This is my daughter. Rory."

"Hi Mr. Luke." Rory said shyly.

"See, she calls me by my name."

"That means Hi, in Duke Language sweets."

"Ok."

She almost couldn't leave just having that memory flooding through her mind. She and her mother turned around and left. Rory looked at the gazebo….the whole town square….Al's pancake world, Andrew's book store, the soda shop. Each having a million memories. One lonely tear fell down her cheek……not knowing what to say or feel. She just watched outside on the cold rainy day. All the way to the "Welcome to Stars Hollow" sign that she had to turn back. In about 40 minutes they arrived at the Hartford airport. They got her boarding pass, cheap souvenirs that she would keep for forever, and they finally arrived at the gate. "Last call for gate B14" the loudspeaker called out.

"This is it." Rory said.

"Yup." Lorelai replied.

"Learn some stuff"

"I'll try."

They hugged with hundreds of tears falling down their faces.

"Mommy I want this to be my room!!!!!!" Rory shouted as she ran through their new house.

"Ok." Lorelai laughed.

"And this can be the kitchen, and this can be the living room, and your room can be up there!" Rory pointed to the stairs.

"Ok." Lorelai simply gave in.

They took one last look into each others eyes, Rory tuned around and walked to her plane. Lorelai saw her adult daughter walk her shy, yet confident walk, one last time. For now.

Note: Ok so I know, really short. But it was my first story! Don't be too harsh, but ya know, criticize. Thank you guys so much for reading! If I get enough reviews I may keep writing!
