[A/N Sorry for the short chapters. Will try to make them longer. First few will be shorter though, I can tell you that. But hey, it's my first fan fiction.
Also thanks for the reviews so far – continue, please! D

Rory sighed and looked around her room from her bed. One side of the room was packed and clean, Paris's of course. The other, hers, was exactly same as it had been all year. Usually she was on top of cleaning and packing, but lately she had been busy, and had a lot of her mind.

She stood up, and grabbed one of Paris's empty boxes. She might as well starting packing, whether or not she was going home, since she had to be out by Monday. Rory packed away her text books and the books she read during that school year in one box. Quickly the box filled up and Rory had to get another box to load up.

An hour later Rory took a look around her changed room. Now both side was packed and cleaned. All she had to get was the mattress and furniture. But if she packed those, she wouldn't have a bed to sleep on. Maybe she should go home. She could just ignore Jess for the weekend, couldn't she? But she wanted to forget him, and she didn't.

With her hands stuck in her jean pockets, and turned around. She just wasn't sure what to do. Go home, stay here, see Jess, ignore Jess, go out and ignore it all. It was driving her crazy.

"Okay, I'm leaving!" Janice called out throughout the dorm room. Rory went out to the living room to see everything in plastic and Janice rolling a big suitcase.

"Now?" asked Rory, "I thought you were leaving Friday..?" She has a puzzlingly look on her face. Janice leaned the suitcase against the wall and walked over to Rory with her arms out to give her a hug. Rory came closer to her and hugged her.

"Well, I want to spend time with my family before I have to get a job.." They pulled apart and Janice smiled at Rory, "I'm sure you know what I mean." Rory gave a small laugh.

"Yeah, I guess I do." Rory said, sitting down on the plastic-covered couch.

"Okay, well I'll see you? I'll miss you! By the way, there's a drink in the fridge, all the left over alcohol drinks" Janice gave a last smile and walked out the door, dragging her black suitcase behind her.

Rory took a deep breathe. Tanna and Janice were gone, and Paris was out with Professor Flemming. All alone… Okay. That was it, she would go home. She wouldn't ignore Jess, or purposely bump into him. She would just go. 'I really need that drink..' thought Rory. And she got up to go to the fridge.

Lorelai walked into the Dragonfly Inn and hung her purse on the jacket rack. She reviewed the to-do list Michel had wrote for her. Lorelai went into the kitchen, where she made more coffee."More coffee? How much have you already had?" Sookie asked jokingly, coming into the kitchen. Lorelai smiled and looked at her, sipping her coffee.

"Just some at Lukes." The mentioning of his name made her heart beat a bit faster. "Guess what?" She said, looking at Sookie. Sookie turned around and looked at her with a spatula in her hand.

"What sweetie?" Lorelai looked down and grinned. "Luke asked me to Liz's wedding!" She heard the spatula hit the floor and a gasp, and glanced up at her friend. Sookie had her hands on her cheeks and a big grin plastered on her face.

"Oh.. my.. god!" Sookie shrieked, pointing at her friend. She shrieked again and hurried over to Lorelai to hug her.

"Sookie,.. your killing me here.." Lorelai said, laughing lightly. Sookie, still grinning, stepped back and looked at her.

"You said yes, right?" Sookie said, her grin disappearing.

"Of course I did!" She watched Sookie's face relax, then took a sip of coffee.

"So,.. did he kiss you?" She walked over the stove, picking up her spatula. Sookie glanced back at her. Lorelai leaned against the counter.

"Nope, just asked me out. But it seemed like he was going to this morning, at the Diner."

"Really!" Sookie said, her back turned to Lorelai, "That's so romantic.. Diner Love!" Lorelai laughed at this and set the empty mug on the counter to be wash.

"Okay, well I have to go.. work." Lorelai told her. She walked out the kitchen and hear Sookie call out, "And daydream about Luke, right?" with a laugh. But it was partly true. She couldn't stop thinking about him. Asking her out, and Friday, how it would turn out. She really was excited, but she was nervous too. Her and Luke had been friends for years. And now, it was all going to change, whether the date went well or not. When she thought about it, it already had changed, with Luke's words, asking her out. That's what scared her the most.


Lorelai was sitting at home, flipping the channels. She was bored. All day she had been thinking about Luke and Friday. But when she was coming home, she almost went to Luke's, but she didn't know what to say. She had became nervous at the sight of him, because he wasn't just Luke, he was Luke. This really handsome and hot guy.

The sound of a car distracted her thoughts. Lorelai left the living, t.v on and everything and ran outside.

"Rory!" She cried out from the porch. Rory opened the door, with a big smile on her face and hurried over to her mother.

"Mom! What are you doing out here?" She asked, hugging her tightly. Lorelai pulled back and looked at her daughter.

"Can't a mother greet her own daughter when she's come home from university?" She said with a shocked look on her face. "Come on." Lorelai pulled her by the arm inside.

"Wait!" Rory cried, trying to loosen her mom's grip, "What about the bags?"

"Tomorrow!" Said Lorelai, still dragging her by the arm. Rory finally got out of her mom's grip and turned around.

"I like to be organized, as you already know. So I'm getting my bags!" Lorelai sat down on the couch and listening to the front door open and shut. 'Rory's home,' Lorelai thought, 'She'll help me with this whole Luke thing..' She slouched down on the couch and waited.

Once Rory had brought in her bags, Lorelai ushered her over to the couch.

"Now," Lorelai started, sitting Rory down on the couch, "We have to celebrate you completing you first year of Yale university!" She said this with a big happy grin.

"Mom…" Rory wanted to complain for she was tired, but she decided to let her mom go ahead with her plans. "Okay, so what are you thinking of?"

Lorelai clapped her hands. "Movie night. Godfather one, two and three. Lots of junk food… What do you think?" Of course, Rory loved the idea.

"So I'll go to the movie store, and you go to Luke's?" Rory asked. Lorelai's heart jumped a beat at the mention of Luke's name.

"Umm, how about we skip Luke's and I'll go to Doose's?" Lorelai asked, feeling nervous of the thought of seeing Luke.

"Skip Luke's on a movie night?" Rory said with a laugh, she turned and looked at her mother with disbelief. She saw that her mom was looking fidgety. "What.. is there something your not telling me?" Now she was feeling nervous.

Lorelai waved it off, but Rory wouldn't leave it alone. "Come on, it's got to be something if it involves avoiding Luke's." Lorelai got up and picked up her sweater, putting it on.

"Find. I'll go to Luke's, and I'll tell you what that thing is after, okay?" She sighed, and asked herself why she didn't want to tell Rory. She knew why, because Rory would ask her how she felt about Luke. And that would mean admitting all her feelings she had been hiding.

[A/N Okay I'm sorry if this chapter sucks. And for it being short. I know it's not one of my best writing pieces, not that any of you have read my others.. Anywho, I'm unsure about this chapter. Please, please, please review and tell me how I can improve!
