A/N: Here is the next chapter. I am going to wait for the next one until I get more reviews. So review! Also I do not have a beta so this might have some grammatical errors.

When the sun rose the next morning Fred and I were both out packing up my car. I had meant to leave Chao-Ahn a note that we were leaving but needn't have bothered. As soon as she was up she had packed her suit case and loaded it into the car without saying a word. I took this as a sign that regardless of where I was she was still going to look out for me like Giles told her too. I would have argued that I didn't need the back-up but decided that having both of my roommates with me would be nice.

At around ten we pulled out of Sunnydale U and headed for the interstate. The trip was fairly uneventful a fact helped by Fred and I mistakenly leaving our cell phones at home. Chao-Ahn kept her phone so that we could call a tow truck or something if the car broke-down. No one back home was stupid enough to try calling Chao-Ahn so we didn't worry. Three days later we pulled off the interstate in Hartford and made our way to Stars Hallow.

The town was fairly small with a very rustic New England feel to it. Fred seemed to be in her element. The Texan navigated her way in front of a diner called Luke's and smiled malevolently whispering something about pancakes. The diner was small but felt very lived in. I could just imagine the number of people that frequented the restaurant. After we had sat ourselves in a both a tall dark man in a khaki baseball cap came over.

'Hey folks, you must be new here.' He said pulling a pencil out from behind his ear.

'Yeah we just got in.' I said politely.

'Well my name's Luke I own this place.' He said with a half-hearted smile. 'Are you staying long?'

'I hope so.' I replied matching his smile. 'Do you make it a habit to wait on all of the young ladies here?'

His smile became more genuine at my remark and he laughed lighting up his whole face. 'As a matter of fact I just lost my best waitress. Besides you all are a bit young for me anyway.'

'You have no idea.' I said laughing along with him. 'So what happened to your best waitress?'

'She moved out west.' his face fell again as he said it. 'She will be missed.' I couldn't help but laugh at all of my luck. 'What's so funny?' He said looking at me as if I had just turned into a Faryl demon.

'It's just that I'm pretty sure I've met your waitress.' I said covering my mouth as I chuckled. 'Her name's Lane right?'

'Yeah that's right' He looked absolutely lost now.

'I met her and Rory Gilmore back in California.' Pausing to get my humour under control I said. 'Rory is why we're here.'

'Oh, small world huh?' He said finally getting what I meant. 'You said you came here because of Rory.'

'Yep that's right.' I said grinning back at him.

'That's strange, I just talked to her today and she didn't say anything about you.' He said perplexed.

'It's a surprise.' I said replying to the kind dinner operator.

'Don't worry than I won't tell her about It.' He smiled and took our orders. Fred unsurprisingly ordered pancakes and I ordered an omelette.

When he looked at Chao-Ahn to ask what she wanted I held out my hand to stop him. 'You wouldn't happen to have non homogenized milk would you?'

'Sure why?' He replied at the odd request.

'Chao-Ahn is lactose-intolerant.' I said in response. 'So if you could she'll have the milk and a stack of organic pancakes.'

'No problem.' Replacing his notepad he walked away saying something about crazy Californians.

'Thank you very much Dawn.' The young Asian girl said smiling for the first time since we left the west coast.

'No problem.' I said with a wink that earned me a bright blush from the Chinese girl.

After we had finished our breakfast Luke gave us Rory's address and told us that he had to go pick her up from the air port and that we should wait at her house. The house itself was a gorgeous one story home with a large covered porch in front. I waited on the front steps while Fred and Chao-Ahn went inside using the key Luke said would be under the mat.

I was only waiting for about an hour before Luke's pick up truck pulled up in front. Rory stepped out of the car and dropped her jaw when she saw me sitting on her steps. A smile broke out on her face and she rushed to the porch leaving Luke to get her bags. I was in heaven being back in her arms. All else faded away and I could only think about the way her body felt pressed up against mine.

'How' you doin' sweet cheeks.' I said in my best mobster voice.

Rory laughed and kissed me lightly on the forehead. The feel of her lips on my skin was ecstasy. 'I didn't think you really wanted to move here.' She said as a tear fell down her face. 'I just thought you were trying to get into my pants.'

I was stunned but not surprised I had been moving kind of fast but then I wasn't really sure what to do. 'I haven't told Buffy about all of this yet but I just couldn't stay there thinking that I could be here with you.'

'Aw, how sweet.' She said rewarding me with a kiss. 'Why are the lights on in my house?'

'Oh, I kind of brought my roommates with me.' I said not able to look her in the eye.

All she did was raise her eye brow at me but it still made me feel immensely sorry for some reason.

'Let's just hope they didn't break anything.' She said as we walked into the house.

Both Fred and Chao-Ahn were bustling around the house picking up things strewn around. Fred was wearing an apron and placing things around the dinning room table.

'I take back my criticism.' Rory said in shock. 'They can stay as long as they want.'

I couldn't help but giggle at the look on Rory's face when she realized that her laundry room was completely organized. She ignored the duo in the kitchen as she inspected the rest of the house and came out of her room with a huff.

'I don't think this house has ever been this clean.' She said collapsing on the couch.

'I'm sorry Fred can go over board sometimes.' I said sitting down next to her.

'Fred?' she asked strangely.

'The thin one with brown hair.' I said pointing to Winifred.

'Oh ok.' She seemed put-off until a grin spread over her face. 'I guess I could get used to it but their not sleeping with us,'

I had to laugh at the retort. 'Honey, don't go getting ahead of yourself because we aren't sleeping together. And they aren't gay.'

She pouted her lip in defeat but I wouldn't budge. 'Babe we like just met last week.'

'Yeah I know I just can't help this feeling that I've been in love with you my whole life.' She looked so adorable when she pouted.

'Maybe we were lovers in a past life.' I said more to reassure her. I didn't remember ever having a woman like her in my life.

'I don't know if I believe in past lives.' She said still not happy with my responses.

'Well I do. I can even remember them.' I said trying to only think about the good moments of my past life.

'You can not.' She teased me.

'Oh but I can.' I kissed her lips lightly drunk from her smell. 'I can even show you documented proof.

'Get out of here.' She scolded slapping me on the arm.

This was going to be harder than I thought. 'Honey I need to tell you something.' I hesitated at the look on her face. 'I'm an Immortal.'
