Disclaimer: I don't own One Tree Hill or Gilmore Girls. Duh.

And I'm excited for my one review, because I just put chapter one up yesterday. I worked to get chapter two done today, because I wouldn't want to let down my two readers. Haha.

Chapter 2: Change in Plans

"Okay, kid. Sit down and breathe," Lorelai told her only daughter. They were in their hotel room getting ready to watch a movie.

"What's up, mom?" Rory asked, curious about the strange behavior of her mother. Her mother was always strange, but this was a different kind of strange behavior.

"I was talking to your dad and you know how he got his father's money? Well, he's going to buy us a house and a place for me to start an Inn. I know this place doesn't have a Chilton, but you went there for two years, so already that should help a ton. Emily and Richard are going to get a place here, so we'll get frequent visits from them. And we'll go visit Lane and Sookie every month or more. I know you'll miss Stars Hollow, but this a good thing for us to do. I love Stars Hollow and I'll miss it more than you'll ever know. But, kid, give this a chance. Please," Lorelai finally took a breath. Rory sat there stunned.

"So, fruit of my loin, what do you say?" Lorelai said, while taking a seat next to her daughter.

"I…I'm…Can I think about this?"

"Sure." This was a rare occasion. Both Gilmore girls were silent. After a couple of minutes, Lorelai stood up and put a movie in. There was a large stack of movies, so Lorelai didn't actually know what movie she picked. She set the case down, grabbed a pack of Twizzlers and sat down next to Rory. She opened the bag of candy and offered one to her "mini-me." Rory took one and they just sat there and blankly watched the screen all night long. Rory and Lorelai were used to staying up all night, but once morning came along, both of them crashed and slept several hours. They woke up, groggily and full of thoughts about moving to Tree Hill. Rory was all for it. She liked the people here. She was fine with the school. The coffee was good in Karen's Café. But there was Lane to think about. And Luke. Luke was in love with Lorelai. Luke needed a chance with her beautiful mother. Paris needs her to be there. She hated to leave the girl, even if they didn't always get along. Sookie and Jackson were always there for her and her mother. But Lucas. He was too gorgeous to just forget about. Haley was an amazing friend, even though they just met. Her mother wanted this. She wanted this. They could do it. It was for the best. Well, who doesn't like change every once and awhile?

Lorelai knew her daughter was struggling with the idea of moving. She did too. But there's possibility to have a good life here. Tree Hill was not that much different from Stars Hollow. Of course, she would miss the people terribly, but they wouldn't mind too much. Who was she kidding? They would miss Lorelai Gilmore very much. She loved it there, but there was something about Tree Hill that made her feel attached to it. Lorelai knew that she and Rory had to talk about it.

"Kid?" Lorelai said.

"Yeah?"

"What are you thinking right now?"

"I'm thinking I should take over Russia."

"Ha ha. Funny little one, you are."

"Well, I learned it from the woman who makes her food talk."

"We need to talk about the thing last night."

"Mom, I need to say that I want to stay here. I just worry about leaving all the people we know and love."

"I just think we could use some change. We could always go back, if we need Stars Hollow back in our lives. Except…Your dad already bought the house. I mean, it's not too late to get out of it, but maybe you'll want to check out the house before making a decision."

"You bought the house already? Did you also adopt a kid from China and start a rock band?"

"I was planning to do that tomorrow, but if you want, I could push that up to today."

"Let's go see it."

They jumped into Lorelai's Jeep and drove to their new house. Once they got there, they gaped at the house that would be more fitting called a mansion.

"This is not a house fit for the younger Gilmores. Not even the elder Gilmores have a house this big. This is fit for the president and even then he would feel that there's a little too much room," Rory said.

"Well, it is the house that Christopher Hayden chose. He only wants to give us more than we actually need or want."

"Let's go check out the inside." They walked inside and already they knew they would be throwing some wild parties in it. Well, these were the thoughts of Lorelai Gilmore. Rory was still too stunned to even think. Chris had already started to decorate the mansion in the way that the Gilmores would enjoy. Rory's room looked a little like her old one, but it was much bigger and the closet was occupied by clothes that her mother would wear.

"Mom! You are planning on getting my actual clothes up here, aren't you?" Rory called to her mother, who was elsewhere.

"Why would I do that? You should look like a teenager! But yes, the clothes like that hideous white sweater will be coming back into your possession." Lorelai said, walking into her daughter's room.

"This place is ridiculous."

"Hey! I like my room. And the music room. He even got you a book room. Rory Gilmore's personal library. Have you bothered to check that out?"

Rory dashed out of the room looking for her sanctuary. It was the most amazing thing she had ever seen. It had a bean bag chair and a couch. There was also a mini fridge, in case she was planning on being there for a long time. The shelves were full of all her favorite books and it had some she hadn't read yet. It was Rory Gilmore's Personal Library.

After a few minutes of appreciating the library, Rory asked, "What other kinds of rooms are there?"

"Well, there's a board game room. A room filled with movies. There's even a work-out room. That's a silly waste of a room. Chris knows we're against exercise."

"Okay, this place is ridiculous and incredible. Did he stock the kitchen?"

"Enough junk food to last a week." This was saying something, because the girls could eat a ton. "There's also take-out menus and a letter from your dad."

"A letter from dad?" Rory was surprised. She ran downstairs to see what it said. It was just a long letter saying that he wanted to help them out and they deserved an amazing place to live. Rory called her dad up, when she was done reading the letter.

"Hey, kiddo. What's up?"

"This place is amazing. It's a little over the top, but that's to be expected from a Hayden. I really do love it, dad."

"Well, I just want you girls to be happy. And I wanted to have a good place to stay in, when I visit next week."

"You're coming to visit? Really?!"

"I hope you're excited and not mad…."

"Of course, I'm excited!"

"Good to hear. Well, kiddo, I've got some work to do, but I'll see you next week."

"I love you, dad."

"Love you too, kid."They hung up and Rory rushed to her mom, who was checking out the incredibly huge TV in their living room.

"Dad's coming for a visit next week!" Rory shared with Lorelai.

"Yeah, I know. I asked him to." Lorelai said nonchalantly. "I wanted him to tell you, because I thought you would like that better.

Rory kissed her mom's cheek. "Thanks."

"Well, you wanna go meet the neighbors? Hopefully, they won't be snobby like Emily and Richard's society members."

"Let's go."

They walked around the trees separating the two yards. They walked to the door and rung on the doorbell. A beautiful brunette, wearing a tank top and very short shorts, answered the door.

"Hi, we just moved in the house next door. I'm Lorelai and this is my daughter Rory."

"I'm Brooke. I would let you meet my parents, but they're rarely home," she said, extending her hand to shake Lorelai's. "Welcome to Tree Hill."

"Thanks.""Rory, was it? We should hang out some time. I could even give you a ride to school on the first day, if you want."

"Sure, I'd like that. Well, we should continue getting our house set up. It was nice meeting you, Brooke."

"Nice meeting you, too."

Lorelai and Rory walked back to their house, perplexed by the thought of absent parents.
