TITLE: Homesick
SUMMERY: Post kiss fic. The third season "my" way. You'll get Rory's return
from D.C., her confrontation with her mom, Jess, Dean, and others,
depending on where I go with the story. DEFINATELY a Literati. well,
eventually Hints of L/L too. First chapter is Rory and Lorelai.
DISCLAIMER: Nope, don't own 'em. Wish I owned Milo, but then again, anyone
in their right mind wished they owned Milo! I also don't own the name
"Ricamawati", that belong's to my friend's lunchbox. Yes, we actually call
him by his name. Odd, I know. And the title comes from the song Homesick by
Train. Nope, don't own any rights to that either. The quote for the title
of the chapter was said by Ogden Nash.
SPOILERS: Anything and everything you've seen and read.
A/N: Hello all! This is my VERY first fanfic, so I'm kind of scared. I know
that everyone is doing post kiss, new season fics, but I hope you all like
mine. I think I am the BIGGEST Literati supporter out there. So, this will
be a Literati. DUH! Oh, and I despise Dean. (does anyone even like him
anyway? If you do, e-mail me and tell me why-I don't get it)

A/N2: Hi, me again. Ya annoyed with me yet? Okay, on to the point... Again,
this is my FIRST fanfic, and if the dialouge sucks or the characters are,
well, out of character, review and tell me. Go ahead, FLAME, FLAME, FLAME!
But, if for some odd reason you like it, review to tell me that! Also,
anything inbetween * means inner thoughts. Okay, now the story...
Chapter one- "Candy is dandy, but Liquor is quicker"
She had done it. Not only did Rory Gilmore manage to survive six whole weeks without her mom and good coffee, she survived six weeks with the Hilter reincarnate. The bus just arrived in Hartford and as soon as she got off, she would be face to face with her two best friends- Lorelai and coffee. Luke's coffee, if she was lucky and her mom and Luke made up. And what was even better was she wouldn't have to see Paris for two weeks until school. Well, theoretically speaking.
Rory managed to wobble, rather uncomfortably might I add, off the bus to the terminal. "RORY!!!" Lorelai's voice echoed through the crowded station. Rory immediately saw her mom holding two steaming cups of coffee.
"MOM!" Rory ran to her mom, dropped her bags and hugged her. Then, of course, she grabbed the coffee. They began to lug Rory's bags to the car.
"Oh, I missed you so much! You have no idea what its like being home alone, day after day, with only a coffe pot and toaster to talk to. Which, by the way, are both angry with me at the moment. I hate it when they alli together like that."
"Conspiracy Theory, huh?"
"Bad movie, but yes, that's what I'm leaning towards. Unless the aliens..." (Rory interupts her)
"Okay, I'm stopping you now, before you start with the aliens."
"Fine, spoil all my fun." Lorelai made a pouty face and proceded to turn away from Rory. They tossed Rory's bags into the Jeep and climbed in.
"So, what happened in Stars Hollow while I was gone?"
"Hun, it's Stars Hollow, Babette got a new gnome and Taylor's produce revenew dropped 2 %, which is sure was caused by the lack of health foods our diets. At the last town meeting, he tried to forced the entire town to go on a diet."
"You're kidding. Too bad I missed that one."
" Oooo, it was good. Bootsy went on about the need for fatty acids in our diet. Apparently we live longer. Anyway, we mutinied (A/N: spelling?) and he backed off. Oh, and Jess came back." Lorelai shot a sideways glance at Rory to see her reaction.
"So, what did Babette name her new gnome?" Rory asked, totally oblivious to Lorelai's point about Jess.
" Ricamawati." There was an awkward silence. " Did ya hear what I said? The rebel without a cause is back to do more damage." Lorelai was getting annoyed. Something happened. She could tell by the look of guilt on her daughter's face.
" Look mom, you know that Jess and I are friends...err...friend-ish. I don't have a problem with him here and I really don't want to fight about this," Rory answered quickly, trying to avoid a confrontation.
" Well excuse me if I do, but he is the one who BROKE YOUR WRIST!" She said the last part louder than the rest, putting an angry emphasis on the words. They pulled into the driveway. Rory got out of the car and Lorelai followed suit.
"THE ACCIDENT WASN'T HIS FAULT!" They were screaming now.
"HE WAS DRIVING!"
"YES, BECAUSE I GAVE HIM THE KEYS!" Rory tried to compose herself, so Babette or Miss Patty wouldn't hear, but she was still furious. " Listen to me mom. I gave HIM the keys. I told HIM to turn right and drive in circles for a while so we could talk more. A little fuzzy...furry...I don't know, something with hair, ran out in front of the car and Jess swerved. It could have been YOU driving!" They were both in tears now.
"I don't care if it was fuzzy, or furry, or whatever, he hurt you..."
"Not on purpose. He didn't take my wrist and twist it until he heard a cracking sound! And he waited with me until the ambulance came and...it...it just... it wasn't his fault!" And with that Rory ran into the house sobbing.
*Smooth Lorelai, real smooth.* Lorelai thought as she began to walk to Luke's. God, she needed coffee.
