Reviewers: Thanks so much for reviewing! Without you all, this chapter wouldn't be here and I would no longer be writing. It means a lot to me. I love you guys so much!
Authors note: Hey all! Yay I finally updated! Sorry for the long wait! Don't shoot me for making you guys wait so long! Lol at least I did update! Lately I've been really excited about writing, it's almost like I got a second wind, which is great! Now I don't have to feel so guilty about not updating! It's kind of funny though, when I wasn't writing I wasn't all that busy but now that I am writing I'm super busy, but still have time to write. Anyway, enough of my rambling, and onto the fic!
Dedicated: This chapter is dedicated to Corey, beloved brother and uncle. He will always be dearly missed and we will never forget you. You are forever in our hearts. April 21, 1988 - Saturday October 27, 2007

Recap:
"Hey Ace?" Logan called before she shut the door.
"Yes?" She said quickly turning around.
"I'll see you later." He said shyly.
Rory nodded
"And Ace?" He called out again.
"Yes Logan?" She answered.
"You'll do fine!" He said, giving her a reassuring smile.
Rory flashed him a small smile before closing the door carefully. Watching as Logan turned the car around in the driveway. She waited until he was out of sight to approach the door. She knocked quickly on the large door, before seeing the doorbell and quickly ringing it.
She waited for a moment before the door slowly started to open...
Chapter Three
"Rory!" Emily exclaimed, as soon as she opened the door, after seeing who was standing on her porch. "It's really you!" she cried happily "I didn't believe Howard when he told me you were here!"
"Hello, Grandma…" Rory said shyly, blushing slightly from her grandmothers outburst, 'she seems happy to see me' she thought 'that must be a good sign'
"You've grown so much," Emily murmured, taking in Rory's appearance before, stepping through the door and hugging Rory tightly. "You look so much like your mother. Where is your mother? Shouldn't she be here with you?" she asked looking to see who was with her granddaughter.
Rory pulled away from her Grandmothers embrace, looking to the ground guiltily. "She's not here." she replied quietly "I am alone."
Emily nodded, "I see. You'll have to explain things," gesturing to the house "Why don't we go inside so you can explain it to all to me. Your grandfather is at work. But he will be home later on."
Rory nodded and followed her grandmother into the house. Emily led Rory into the living room.
"Now, Rory" Emily said "what are you doing here? Please don't get me wrong, your welcome here anytime."
"I left Grandma" Rory replied "I couldn't take it anymore. The Amish way is not how I would like to live my life. So I left it all behind, and please do not make me go back to it." She cringed, awaiting Emily's reply.
Emily smiled happily, as if this is what she had been expecting all along. This is what Emily had been waiting for since the day Rory was born. What she had been hoping and praying for. "Of course I'm not going to make you go back!" Emily said "And don't you worry about where you're going to live! You're going to live right here with your grandfather and I! Oh this is going to be fun."
"You're not angry with me?" Rory asked quietly
"Good heavens no!" Emily said "Why on earth would I be angry with you? I've never approved of how you were living."
"I have something else to tell you Grandma." Rory said, smiling slightly, clearly happy that her grandmother was going to let her stay. "I got into Yale University."
Emily's smile grew bigger, "You're a Gilmore of course you got in!" Emily replied. "I assume you will be attending. I'm so proud of you! What do you plan on majoring in?" She asked excitedly.
"Journalism." Rory said "I've always had an interest in it." she yawned slowly after finishing.
"How long have you been up?" Emily asked with mild concern.
"I haven't been to sleep yet." Rory replied "I had to leave in the middle of the night to come here. Mother would have never let me leave otherwise."
"Why didn't you say something before?" Emily demanded "Lets get you to bed, we can talk later."
"Okay." Rory agreed, standing up with her grandmother.
The two walked together up the stairs, and slowly down the hall.
"Grandma, I haven't anything to wear." Rory said as they reached Rory's room.
"I've always kept a few outfits in your closest in case this day ever came." Emily replied, opening the door "Now you'll find a pair of pajama's in the drawer and some clothes in the closet for after you wake up. Once you get up I'll take you shopping."
Rory nodded in understanding "Is it alright if I go shopping with a friend instead?" she asked shyly.
"Of course!" Emily said in surprise, wondering how Rory knew anyone in Hartford. "Who is this friend?"
"Logan Huntzberger and a few of his friends." Rory said, looking at her hands.
Emily nodded in understanding. "Of course that's alright dear." she said "Logan would probably be better at helping you with the jump to the twenty-first century than I would, anyway. Now, you go to sleep, and I'll wake you in a few hours." Emily said, as she smoothed away a piece of hair from her granddaughter's face.
"Okay, Grandma." Rory nodded in agreement, as her grandmother walked to the door.
"And Rory?" Emily said just before she reached the doorway.
"Yes Grandma?" Rory asked, sitting down on the bed.
"I'm so glad that you're here."
"I am as well Grandma" Rory smiled.
"Sleep tight!" Emily called as she softly shut the door.
Four hours later....
Rory woke up with a start. 'Where am I?' she thought as she looked around the darkened room. 'Oh I remember now, I finally left! I cannot believe I actually left.' Rory sat up, as the memories of last night, and this morning came flooding back to her. 'I wonder when Logan will arrive to take me shopping?' With that thought in mind, Rory slowly climbed out of bed. Dragging her feet, she walked over to the blinds, throwing them open to reveal the beautiful day outside.
Remembering what her grandmother had told her about the location of clothing, just hours before, Rory then walked over to the closet. After opening the closest door, 'what in the world shall I wear?' she thought as she surveyed the clothing. Finally, after a few minutes, Rory finally choose a simple dark blue t shirt, and a pair of light blue jeans.
After Rory changed and fixed her bun. The doorbell rang loudly.
'That must be Logan.' Rory thought excitedly as she headed downstairs. 'I hope his friends like me; I wonder what they are like.... I hope they're like Logan....'
Haha bit of a cliffy! Lol another one I know, I suck lol but cliffy's are fun for writers! This is a bit of short chapter the next one will hopefully be longer. No promises though. I will try. I don't really like this chapter. I was going to make it longer but I thought this would be funner lol. Besides the next chapter gives me more to write about. I think I write Emily really out of character. But remember this is an Alternate Universe, and I'm not used to writing for Emily. She's hardly ever in my other fics, actually I think I've only wrote one chapter before this one with her in a fic before lol. I suppose I better get used to writing her though. I'll have to watch scenes with Emily and Richard and see how they talk and try and get that flow of it, bit with a bit of flavor in it lol. Anyways remember to review!
Warnings for the next chapter: Rory meets Finn, Colin, and Steph will they like her and accept her???
PLEASE REVIEW! I NEED REVIEWS! I LOVE REVIEWS! REVIEWS MAKE ME HAPPY!
