Family Reunion
Rating: PG-13 it's not bad. It doesn't have curse words in every sentence.
But they're used where they're needed.
Disclaimer: The characters from the show are not mine. I'm just borrowing
them to write this story. And, by the way, if you don't know already, this
is called fan fiction. It's something we fans write. It's in no way a
spoiler, or will it be used for the show. It came directly from my
imagination, and I would love it if you didn't steal it. :D
Author's Note: This was an idea that popped into my head from a dream I
had. I thought it was really original and decided to write it. This is my
first fanfic, so criticism is begged for.good or bad. And I know you're
wondering how it could be a Trory and have them being related.no it's not
some sick porno, that leads to Rory having some disabled kid, it'll all be
explained later on in the story.

Lorelai rang the doorbell. Emily opened the door.
"Hello, girls. Lorelai, Rory. Come in." She opened the door further to let her daughter and granddaughter in and hugged Rory.
"How was your week, Grandma?" Rory asked as they walked into the living room.
"It was hectic as usual. My meeting with the Washington Charity committee was nothing but good, everyone was arguing. My luncheon with some friends was delightful, though."
"That sure sounds like a busy week, Mom." Lorelai said sarcastically.
Emily ignored her. "How was yours, Rory?"
"It was boring. I just got some new books and hung out Lane and mom." Rory replied.
"Well, it's only the first week of summer, other things are sure to come up." Emily smiled.
Richard walked in from his office, "Emily, I just got a phone call from my brother, George. He seems to have planned a family reunion, you know how caught up he's been with all that family tree stuff. Have you gotten an invitation? Oh, hello, Rory, Lorelai."
"Hi grandpa."
"Hey, Dad. Nice day today isn't it?" Lorelai said.
"I haven't checked the mail today.I'll have to see Arielle about it." Emily walked off to some maid and walked out of the room. She came back quickly with an envelope in hand.
"I think this is it, Richard." She handed the envelope to her husband.
He neatly opened the envelope to find an invitation. "Yes, this is it."
"Well are we going to go? When is it?" Emily asked as he read it.
"We have to. It says all Gilmores from the Northeast are coming. And some from other places in the US." He showed her the envelope.
"Yes it does. It'll be fun. Lorelai, have you two gotten one?"
"Um, we haven't checked our mail in a few days, we'll have to check." Lorelai replied.
"Well, do so right when you get home. Time for dinner." Everyone walked into dining room.
~*~ Lorelai sighed as she walked into their home. She plopped onto the couch. "I'm exhausted."
"I know, so am I.but the mail." Rory reminded Lorelai. Lorelai slowly walked toward the basket that contained the mail from the week.
"Urgh. I hate family reunions." She stated as she flipped through the mail.
"You've never been to one."
"But, I've seen them on movies and on TV. They look so boring. And did you hear them talking about, A WHOLE WEEK."
"Ah, here it is, from Uncle George in Delaware," She ripped open the envelope and read the invitation out loud, "'You are invited to a week full of fun, meeting new people and new friends, you are related to. All family from the Northeast and some from other parts of the country will be coming in to enjoy the occasion. The reunion will be from July 6th to July 14th in Littletown, Delaware, at the home of Louis and Edna Gilmore and their three children. Hotel and travel accommodations are to be made by you. Hope to see you there!' It's actually a week and one day! How can I stand those people for that long?!"
"I know you don't want to go, and I don't want to either, but we have to." Rory said quietly.
"How can I? The wedding, this. Child at sixteen, that." Lorelai replied using hand motions.
"Grin and bear it." Rory answered.
"You know what, you're right. At least you'll be there." Lorelai smiled. "AND, we'll get to have another ROAD TRIP!" The two jumped up and down excitedly as they made plans.
~*~ The next few days were spent packing and getting ready. Even though, annoying cousins, aunts, and uncles were to come, it would all be worth for the time they'd get to spend on the road, and for Lorelai, not go to work.
"So all we have to do now is get the candy and the coffee for the trip." Lorelai said as she zipped up her suitcase.
"Exactly." Rory agreed.
"Okay, so we'll get that later when we feel like it. But for now let's watch a movie." Lorelai turned on the movie.
Rory nodded along until she realized they had no movies. "Mom, we have no movies."
"My daughter, dearest, that's where you're wrong. As I was at work today, I noticed that also. I thought, 'hey, why not buy a movie we really enjoy watching a million times.' So I went to the Hartford Wal-mart and got this." Lorelai picked up a movie.
"Charlie and the Chocolate factory!" Rory screamed as she ran to the couch, just as the phone rang.
"Who's going to get it?" Lorelai asked.
"You're closer." Rory pointed out.
"No you are."
"All you have to do is turn around."
"All you have to is.fine." Lorelai grabbed the ringing phone and answered, "Hey."
"Lorelai, that is no way to answer the phone." Emily scowled.
"Yes, it is, when you're about to watch the greatest movie ever created." Lorelai argued.
"Fine, so are you ready to go to the reunion?"
"Yes, we are." Lorelai replied.
"So you're going by car, right?"
"Yes, indeedy. Are you and dad going by car, too?"
"No, we don't want to take the chance of getting lost, or any other scenario like that." Emily replied.
"Oh, and end up all the way in Mexico, away from the reunion." Lorelai grinned evilly, and Rory shook her head in disagreement.
"Exactly. You know how bad of a driver your father is." Emily whispered. "I heard that!" Richard screamed in the back round. Lorelai laughed. "Well, I better let you watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."
"How'd you know that?"
"A mother has her ways. Goodbye, Lorelai. See you there."
"Yeah, see you there. Bye mom." And they hang up.
"Wow, my mother was actually cool on the phone today.
"Well, no person is always grumpy." Rory replied.
"Except for Grumpy the dwarf."
"Yeah, except for him." And they watched the movie. ~*~
"I'm going out to get the coffee and the candy for the trip. Come with me!" Lorelai begged as Rory walked out of her room.
"Why?" Rory asked, her voice still a little groggy even after her shower.
"Because I want you to." Lorelai smiled.
"Fine." They walked out the house and into the streets of Stars Hollow.
"So we'll have fun this week, right?" Lorelai asked.
"Yeah. Just ignore the annoying relatives." Rory replied.
"Exactly." Lorelai nodded as they walked into the Doose's Market. "So, you get the candy, and I'll get anything else that may not be healthy."
"Okay." Rory replied, and they headed down separate isles.
Rory picked up tons of different types of candies as she walked down the candy isle. She was bending down to pick up some starbursts that fell out her hands when she bumped into Dean.
"Rory."
"Dean." They had broken up a month ago when Rory had caught him with some girl from school. She walked around him and continued with her search.
"Rory! I'm done! Are you?" Lorelai said as she walked into the isle, to find Dean there.
"Lorelai." He said icely to her.
"Dean." Lorelai nodded and returned the iciness. "Are you done?" Lorelai asked again, to her daughter.
"Yeah. C'mon, let's check out."
"Yeah, then we have to head to Luke's."
"So did anything happen? What did he say?" Lorelai asked as they walked out.
"I just bumped into him when I was picking up a starburst package that fell. He just said the same thing he said to you, but with my name instead, I returned the gesture, then, you walked into the isle." Rory explained.
"Oh. I see." Lorelai nodded, and they walked into Luke's.
"Hey, Luke. Two coffees to go, please." Lorelai stated and sat on a stool.
"Coming right up. So you two are going today to that reunion thing, right?" He asked.
"Yeah. We just came back from the candy store." Lorelai replied.
"There's no candy store in Stars Hollow." He said confused.
"Taylor's." They said at the same time.
"Oh.right. Here you go. And enjoy your trip." He smiled and served another customer.
"We'll see you in a week!" Rory waved.
"And we'll bring you back a souvenir from Boringsville. Maybe some hay from their barn!" Lorelai said sarcastically, waved, and they went home. ~*~
An hour later, they were all ready, and putting their suitcases and bags in the jeep.
"So are we all set?" Lorelai asked.
"I think we are." Rory replied.
"Okay then, Delaware, here we come!" They got in the jeep and sped out of Stars Hollow.
