A/N: Wow ok so it's been awhile since I've updated, and I'm sorry. I was planning on updating over the holidays, but I got a new job and that has kept me pretty busy. I know I know excuses, excuses but after working for 7 hours I haven't been in the mood to write, but this chapter is longer, actually the longest one I've ever written so hope this kinda makes up for the lack of updates… Please read and Review!

Longtime Friends

After finishing up their food and coffee that they ordered Lorelai and Rory left with a promise to see Luke later. Rory was carrying her bags of stuff from home. Well the stuff she brought with her on the bus, Chris was sending the rest of her stuff the next day. They were walking in complete silence in the direction of Lorelai's house when Lorelai decided it to be a good time to speak up.

"So Rory you have a boyfriend?" Lorelai asked remembering her conversation with Chris, and Rory again mentioning it in the diner.

"Ya I do." Rory replied, not really want to get into a conversation about Jess with this lady that called herself her mother.

"What's his name?" Lorelai asked hearing the hesitation in Rory's voice indicating that she didn't want to talk about it, but she wanted to get to know more about her daughter's life, after missing out on a great number of years.

"Jess. His name is Jess Mariano." Rory stated. Lorelai obviously didn't pick up on the fact that Rory didn't want to talk about him either that or she just ignored the fact.

"Cool… That name sounds a little bit familiar but I don't know why." Lorelai said trying to figure out why that name sounded familiar. "So what drew you towards him?" Lorelai asked trying to figure out more information about Rory, and now about Jess.

"Well I met him in a bookstore, we were both reaching for the same book, and the we kinda starting talking and got along so we spent some time together then he asked me out, so if you call that being drawn to him then that's what happened…" Rory said with a bit of sarcasm. "But really he is great, he reads just as much as I do, if not more, and he's smart, and ya he's just great." Rory said with a smile creeping onto her face.

Lorelai noticed the smile, and it made her smile. "Well this is it, Home Sweet Home." She said as they approached the house.

Rory looked up at the house in front of her. It was small, but it was a house. Rory had grown up in a penthouse with her dad since it was just the two of them. "Huh" was the only response Lorelai got from Rory.

"Well lets not stand out here, your bags must be heavy" Lorelai said as she opened the door, and motioned for Rory to follow her. Lorelai showed her to her room which was just off from the kitchen. "I thought you'd like this room, it will give you more privacy than if you were upstairs with me." Lorelai said as Rory walked into the room putting her stuff down and turning to get a good look at the room, it was small, smaller then her room in New York, but it would have to do.

"Huh, it's nice. Thanks." Rory said turning her attention back to the woman in the door way.

"Well it's not much, and you can decorate it as you want to," Lorelai said then decided to ask the one question that had been bugging her ever since she found out from Chris that Rory had a boyfriend, "so Rory I just a have one more question about Jess." She started but waited for a response from Rory

"Uh, ok shoot" was Rory's only response.

"Have you and Jess, you know, slept together?" Lorelai asked making some kind of hand gesture.

Rory just stood staring at Lorelai shocked. After she got over the shock of the question she got angry. "You have no right to ask me that" Rory stated with the venom dripping from the sentence.

"Actually I do have a right to ask that, I'm your mother." Lorelai retorted.

At that comment Rory scoffed, she had, had enough. She pushed past Lorelai, and started walking out the door.

"Where do you think you're going?" Lorelai asked the angry teen, getting a little upset about the fact that her daughter had just reacted the way she did.

"Out!" Rory yelled as she stormed out of the house, leaving Lorelai to call after her.

Rory was walking around town. She was so mad that she didn't notice the person in front of her and she bumped right into them. Rory ended up on the ground, with the other person about to fall as well.

"Jeez, I'm so sorry, I'm such a klutz I wasn't paying attention to where I was going, and" Rory started to ramble as she stood up but was cut off when the other person screeched.

"OHMIGOD RORY!" at the comment Rory looked up to see a petit Korean girl about to give her a hug

"Lane! What are you doing here?" Rory asked with almost as much as enthusiasm as Lane. Then giving into the hug that she was offering.

"This is where I live, now I could ask you the same thing" Lane said pulling back, still not really believing the fact that Rory was there in the flesh.

"Oh, I just moved here, to live with my mom" Rory said, with sarcasm attached to the end of the statement. She then all of a sudden started to laugh.

"What's so funny?" Lane asked.

"This just reminded me of how we met, do you remember?" Rory said starting to think back to that time.

"How could I forget?" Lane stated as they two friends started to share a trip down memory lane.

Flashback

Rory was looking through the row of records. This store had to be one of her favourite places in New York. (A/N: Think of the store Jess brought her to when she visited him in season 2.) She could come and just spend hours looking at all the different records, and most of the time she and Jess would spend that time together, but today was one of those days that she was flying solo.

She was looking through the punk rock section when someone rammed into her. When she regained her footing she looked over to see what, or who in this case hit her. When she looked over she saw a petit Korean girl frantically looking at all the different albums.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to ram into you, its just that I don't have a lot of time and there is just so much great records to look at!" the girl said as she moved onto the next row of records.

"If you don't mind me asking, why don't you have much time?" Rory asked intrigued by the girl standing next to her.

"Strict family, well I'm actually staying with my aunt for the week, and she's not as bad as my mom, but anyways she thinks I'm out to buy a new shirt for church cause mine apparently isn't up to par, and on my way back I spotted this store and just had to come in." The girl rambled, "Oh by the way I'm Lane Kim." She turned and faced Rory sticking her hand out to her.

"It's nice to meet you Lane Kim, I'm Lorelai Hayden, but you can call me Rory." Rory replied shaking Lanes' hand.

"It's nice to meet you too Rory" Lane said as she turned back to looking at albums

"So Lane, how long you in the city for?" Rory inquired

"Oh, just the week, then I go back to small-town USA" Lane answered, adding a bit of sarcasm to the end of her statement.

"Cool, well how would u like to meet up tomorrow and get a cup of coffee or something?" Rory asked as she looked up from the stack of records she was flipping through

"That sounds great! Give me your number so I can call you"

Rory wrote down her number and passed it to Lane.

"Well it was great to meet you Rory, but I better get going, I'll talk to you later."

"Ya, it was nice to meet you too, bye" And with that Lane left the record store.

Rory and Lane spent the next week just hanging out and actually becoming great friends. Once the week was up and Lane was leaving going back to her home the girls promised to stay in touch.

End Flashback

To say that Rory was shocked would be an understatement; maybe living in this story book town wouldn't be so bad, especially now that she had a friend to hang out with.
