Big Surprise in Europe

                                                            Summary

Jess takes a trip to another place.  Rory goes on a backpacking trip to Europe.  Could there be love in the middle of Europe's cities.  Or could it just be one big coincidence?  Read the story and find out.

Usual Disclaimers Apply: Even though, I will buy Milo!  Let me know if anyone knows if he is for sale!

*Beep Beep Beep*  Rory slowly rises from her pillow and hits the snooze button on her alarm clock, then she falls back down into her pillow. 

Lorelai: Rory, Rory! Come on!  Remember we have to catch the plane for Europe today! 

Lorelai runs into Rory's room and starts throwing stuffed animals at her.

L: Rory come on get up!  Were going to miss our plane! 

Lorelai runs back out of Rory's room yelling at her about what to double check in her bag.  Rory slowly sits up in bed, to tired to think of what her mom is yelling at her about, and defiantly too tired to pack anymore.   Just two days ago Rory had graduated from high school.  She's still tired from all the partying and packing.  She got one last call from Jess, he still didn't say anything, she heard something in the background this time but no sign of human life.  She's pretty sure she loves, or she likes to say loved him.  She's trying hard to get over him and get him out of her mind, but nothing is working.  She's hoping that the trip to Europe will erase him for her, at least for a couple months.   

Rory: Mom what time is it?

Rory gets no answer, Lorelai is upstairs.  Rory can hear her running around like a chicken with its head cut off.  Rory sighs and climbs out of bed. 

R: I really hope its not this crazy all month.

Rory makes her way to the kitchen to get some breakfast catching a glimpse of her alarm clock, it read 9:45am. 

R: Oh my gosh! Were going to be late!  Mom hurry up!  Were going to be late for our flight!

Their flight leaves at 12:45, and they have to drive a little past Harvard to get to the airport.  Lorelai comes running down the stairs. 

L: What time is it?

Rory grabs a pop tart and starts heading back to her room to double check her suit case.

R: Mom there you are! It's a quarter to ten!  We need to get moving, what have you been doing all morning?  Why didn't you wake me up?!

Rory runs into her room shutting the door before Lorelai could answer her.  Lorelai yells back at Rory. 

L: Who's car are we going in?  Yours or mine?

Rory had gotten a new car for her birthday from her grandparents, a zinc yellow mustang convertible. 

R: It doesn't matter mom.  Just check and see which has more room!

Lorelai answers with a unnoticeable head nod and sigh, then runs outside with two suitcases in her hands.  Rory gets dressed in her overalls and a long sleeve shirt, then starts searching for more clothes.

R: Mom, Mom!  [Rory goes running outside.] 

Lorelai stands up from the mustangs trunk and hits her head on the cover. 

L: Ow.. What's wrong Rory?

R: Mom I can't find that purple long sleeve that I bought last Christmas!

L: You mean the one with the small non visible stain under the right arm to the back?

R: Yes, yes that one!
