A/N: So, here we go... Basically, this all takes place about two years from Season 5. Luke and Lorelai are together and very, very happy, while Rory and Logan are also together. Luke and Rory are like father and daughter and Lorelai and Rory, as always, are still Lorelai and Rory. That's basically it. I have a lot of it written already, so I can update often!

This is my first published FanFic, so please R R.

So now, without further ado...

Shopping and Changes

Rory Gilmore sat cross-legged on her mom's bed, occasionally looking up from the magazine that she was reading to answer her mother's neurotic questions or respond to her obsessive comments.
"I have nothing. I need to go shopping." This was one of the things that Rory felt compelled and obligated to respond to.
"Mom, you went shopping last week. You bought two bathing suits, five shirts, a new pair of shorts, and three pairs of shoes. Not to mention the pair of jeans you exchanged for a new skirt. What could you possibly need now?" Lorelai paused for a moment, thinking,
"I need an umbrella. And more socks." Rory sighed and rolled her eyes,
"Just promise me that you won't buy socks with Elmo on them again."
"No, I promise. Only Cookie Monster. And Spongebob." As Rory returned to her reading, Lorelai watched her, smiling to herself.
When did she become able to question me? My baby girl's not a baby anymore... Breaking her train of thought, Rory suddenly asked,
"So what is the big deal? What's the sudden urgent need for the perfect outfit?" Before Lorelai could answer, Rory looked knowingly at the picture of her mother's boyfriend, Luke, sitting on the night-table.
"Yeah, it's for Luke."
"You know he'd love you no matter what you wear."
"This is a special occasion," Rory cast her mother a confused look, "It's our ten-year anniversary.
"You've been dating two years."
"Ten years since we first met, Captain Obvious."
"Oh, well then. That is a big deal."
"Yes, it is. In fact, am I allowed to disown you for that?" Rory shrugged,
"Well, then I'll have to go live with Mrs. Kim." Lorelai winced,
"Why would you do that to yourself?"
"No, she's actually been much nicer since Lane and Dave got married."
"Yeah, I'm sure she's going to bump Mother Theresa off the waiting list for Sainthood."
"Hey, I'm hungry."
"Me too. Let's go to Luke's."
"Let me clarify- I'm hungry for food. Are you hungry for food or Luke?"
"Hey! Did I raise you to talk like that?"
"Sorry. Bah-dum-bum-chee."
"Much better." And with that, they were off to Luke's.
