1 Chapter "Here comes the good news"

She was getting really anxious just waiting at home. She never was the one to be able to sit still for more than five minutes and now she had a really good reason to do her happy dance. 'Five more minutes' she thought and tried to relax and calm down. Just as she was beginning to lose her temper she heard steps on the front porch and opening the front door.

"Honey, I'm home!" that was the voice of the person that she was waiting for soooooo long (for her nonetheless).

"Fruit of my loins!!' she shouted back 'I've been waiting for you to come home for ages!!"

"Mom, I was at school and you know that it ended only 15 minutes ago!"

"Well yes, but it ages ago" she said smiling at her beloved daughter.

"Well, I'm already here and you can tell me what you wanted to tell me for those 15 minutes"

"How do you know that I have something to tell you?!"

"One: you are bouncing up and down on our couch, second: you shouted that phrase that you always shout when you want to tell me something and you are excited about it and three: could you stop calling me like that?"

"But Rory….'she wined' it's no fun to call you just Rory" said Lorelai pouting.

"Ahhrrr" was all the answer she got from Rory and then proceeded with her information that got her so excited at the first place.

"Well today I checked our mail box and guess what I found in there??" she said excited all over again.

"Jeez, I don't know…maybe mail??" said Rory rolling her eyes. Sometimes she thought at everyone were right when they said that she was the adult at their house.

"Yeah, mail but not just the ordinary mail" and with that Lorelai took a white envelope from the coffee table and gave it to Rory. As she took it, Rory saw that it was from Chilton Preparatory Academy. The school she wanted to go to and waited for opportunity to be accepted to since the start of last summer.

"Open it, open it, open it!" shouted Lorelai.

"I'm opening it, I'm opening it!" said Rory when she tried to open the envelope with shaking hands. 'OK, OK, just breath' Rory reminded herself. As she began reading her eyes widened and the further she read, the bigger her eyes got.

"What does it say? Tell mommy what it says! Common on kid, don't leave me in suspense here!" wined Lorelai.

"It says here that I, Lorelai Leigh Gilmore was accepted into Chilton Preparatory Academy and will start going there from Monday morning. It also says that I have to come at 8 a.m. to the headmaster's office so that I could meet him and receive my class schedule from his secretary" said excited Rory. As she ended summarizing the letter that she just had read, mother and daughter began jumping up and down holding their hands and squealing 'Oh my God! Oh my God! OH MY GOD!'

After almost five minutes of their happy dance Lorelai looked at her daughter that was laying on the couch with satisfied look on her face and began speaking : "You know kid, I am really proud of you. I really am. I really hate to break it to you, but you know what this acceptance means, right?" she asked with a sad smile.

Rory looked at her mom and signed. "Yeah, I know what this means. Do you think we really have to do it? Is there really no way of getting out of it?"

"Sorry, kid but there is no way out of that. Especially after you received this letter."
