Rory put the last of her boxes in her apartment. The day she left home, her grandparents came with a moving truck saying they bought furniture for her apartment. Rory was very grateful for it since she didn't have that much money to spend. So now she had a couch, a T.V., a kitchen table with 4 chairs, and a bed.

Rory then started to unpack everything because she didn't want boxes laying around for a week or more. Once unpacked, she made herself some mac and cheese. After she ate it, she decided on exploring the city. She walked out the door, went down the steps, and then out the door.

Rory couldn't believe it she was going to be living in New York City. She couldn't believe she was going to be working at the New York Times! She was quickly snapped out of her thoughts when she found a diner close to her apartment. She walked in the diner.

"Hi, can I get a coffee?" Rory asked.

"Sure thing. For here or to go?" The owner said.

"To go." Rory said.

The owner poured her some coffee and then gave it to her.

"Thanks." Rory smiled.

Rory walked out and drank it.

"Almost as good as Luke's." she said to herself.

Rory was walking along drinking her coffee and enjoying the sights when she bumped into some, almost spilling her coffee.

"Wow, that's lucky I didn't get my coffee on you." She said.

"That's fine. Rory?" he asked.

She looked up at the man's face.

"Dean?" she asked.

"The one and only." He smiled.

"Wow, what are you doing here?" she asked.

"After we last broke up, I decided I wanted to do something with my life. So I went to college and majored in business. Now I'm the vice-president of Ford." Dean told her.

"Wow and you love cars." Rory smiled.

"I know. So what are you doing here?" he asked.

"I'm going to be a reporter for the New York Times." She told him.

"Your dream job." He said.

"Yeah." She smiled.

"Hey, it's around dinner time. Want to eat and catch up?" he asked.

"Sure." She said.

"Great, we're actually near a great place." He said.

Dean led Rory to a restaurant. They sat down at a table and ordered their food.

"So how long have you been living here?" she asked.

"Two years." He said.

"Yeah I just moved today." She said.

"Oh so where are you living?" he asked.

"You know how we bumped into each in front of that diner?" she asked.

"Yeah." He said.

"Well, my apartment building is right across from it." Rory said.

"Are you serious?" Dean asked.

"Yeah." Rory said.

"It's just that's my apartment building." He said.

"Really? No way!" she exclaimed.

They continued to talk and eat their dinners. After dinner, they walked back to their apartment building.

"So what floor?" Rory asked when they got in the elevator.

"10." Dean said.

Rory hit the button that read '10' then hit the button that read '20' for her own floor.

"I'm in 10A. You?" Dean asked.

"20A." Rory answered.

The elevator got to Dean's floor.

"Well, nice seeing you Rory. Hope to see you soon." Dean smiled.

"Same." Rory smiled.

Rory got to her apartment and went to the phone. She dialed up her mom's number.

"Hello?" Lorelai answered.

"Mom, you'll never believe it." Rory said.

"What?" Lorelai asked.

"I ran into Dean." Rory said.

"What?!" Lorelai asked.

"That's not all. We live in the same apartment building." Rory said.

"What?! How did this all happen?" Lorelai asked.

"Well, I stopped at this diner to get coffee. When I walking out of it, we bumped into each other. Then he showed this great restaurant so we could catch up. Then we walked back to the building." Rory told her.

"Wow." Lorelai said.

"I just had to tell you. Now I better get to bed so I have enough energy for tomorrow." Rory said.

"Ok. Just don't get there super early." Lorelai said.

"I won't. Night, love you mom." Rory said.

"Love you." Lorelai said.

They each hung up the phone. Rory then got ready for bed and then crawled into bed. She quickly fell asleep.
