Chapter One: Bathrooms, Shopping Sprees, and Unwanted Nephews
--
Yale University – New Haven, ConnecticutParis Geller paced back and forth the dormitory glancing at the clock every few seconds. Rory Gilmore had been in the bathroom for the past hour and a half doing who knows what. Her rule was each girl had at leased an hour in the bathroom and clearly Rory had broken the rule.
She knocked at the door and yelled, "Gilmore you're time is up!" She waited for a response. Nothing. So Paris yelled one more time, "You know, classes start soon. You don't want to be late."
Moments later, Rory had come out of their room with her books at hand, "Why are you yelling?" When she had realized that Paris wasn't ready yet she added, "And why aren't you dressed yet?"
"I thought you were in the bathroom." Paris confessed, feeling like an idiot.
Rory laughed, "You do know that no is in the bathroom and the shower is running only because it's broken. The guy that's going to repair it is coming soon so you might want to take a shower now."
Paris headed to the bathroom. She turned the knob and asked, "How are you taking a bath tonight?"
Rory turned the knob to exit; she turned back and said, "Going to Stars Hollow for a week."
Paris walked into the bathroom and yelled out "Have fun!"
Rory smiled to herself, "I always do."

Luke's Diner – Stars Hollow, ConnecticutLorelai Gilmore entered the diner with five shopping bags, she plopped them all down by the counter and sat down, it had been a very successful shopping day. Luke Danes set a coffee mug in front of her, took one look at the shopping bags and sighed, "I thought I told you to not shop for a while."
Lorelai laughed. She took a sip of coffee and replied, "And I thought I told you not to be Mr. Grumpy Diner Guy."
"I'm not being grumpy, just a little concerned. I mean you do need to save money." Luke pointed out.
"Don't worry. I have everything under control. The Dragonfly is going great and so is the diner. So I think we're financially stable."
"I'm thinking of renting out the apartment." Luke told her. He continued on, "The tenant can have a job here in the diner and the rent can be ducted from their salary."
"Sounds like you thought this out really well." Lorelai observed, finishing off her cup of coffee. "Do you have any possible tenants in mind?"
Luke smiled faintly, "Well. Liz called and said that the old place where Jess used to live is being torn down and he has no where to go."
"So you're thinking of letting your unwanted nephew stay with you?" Lorelai asked, not taking the situation well.
"Well no, because technically I'm living with you now, so I would give the apartment to Jess."
"You know that he is inducted as the worse tenant ever." Lorelai pointed out.
"I wouldn't have to worry about that because now since I am his landlord, or going to be, I can kick him out, increase his rent … so I control him."
Lorelai sighed, "Luke, sweetie, you thought you had control over him when Jess was 17, now he's 19 and two years isn't going to change someone like that."

Yale University – New Haven, ConnecticutRory roamed the halls, looking for the room of a new class that she was invited to join. Paris had no idea that they were accepting students to join a new class that was with New York Times Best-selling Author, David Brynes. Rory was one of twenty that had been selected to take a weekly writing session with the prestigious author, who sold more than two million books nationwide.
Rory met with a girl who seemed to be looking for the same classroom she was, "You're in Professor Brynes's class too?" Rory asked.
The girl nodded, "I'm Diane. I want to be a teacher or something after I graduate, but if I have connections with David, then I might change and become an author." Diane smiled at Rory.
"Oh so you know Professor Brynes's outside campus?" Rory said, "I mean you called a teacher by their first name."
Diane replied, "I dated David."
"Oh so he's young then?"
"He's 20. The book that he wrote when he was 13 made him a multi-millionaire. He's doing a college tour and I'm so happy that Yale and Harvard were on top of his lists. I heard that this is the easiest class to pass because he's so nice and would pass anybody. He's also gorgeous."
Rory smiled politely and walked down the hall, finally finding the classroom. She turned the knob to open the door and stared at her teacher, Mr. David Brynes. Diane wasn't kidding when she said that he was gorgeous. He turned his head and looked at Rory, "You must be Rory Gilmore."
"Yeah. How'd you know my name?" Rory asked, putting her bag down and taking a seat next to him.
"I took attendance and you and Diane weren't here. I know what Diane looked like and I assumed that you were Rory." He explained, putting his notebook down.
He walked to the shelve and took out several books out, he handed them out to every student and said, "What you are getting now is a copy of my book. It's revised so it includes footnotes, original transcript pages and so on."
As he was handing them out, Rory noticed how he kept on looking at her from time to time, and how she was doing the same. Snap out of it, Gilmore. He's your teacher. A very cute and nice teacher, but nonetheless he is your professor.
