A/N: Has anyone noticed that any chapter with Rory having amnesia is basically her POV? Well if you didn't, I'm telling you now. Some people are mad at me for giving Rory amnesia. Have no fear ppl! Rory is superwoman rememner? Okay well I don't care if you don't like that. If you don't like it, then don't read it. Next chapter begins when Tristan is calling Lorelai.

"Oompa loompa dippidy dee! Who are you and why the hell are you calling me?" Lorelai sang as she picked up the phone.

"Hi mommy." Tristan said, holding in a laugh. It was a joke that Lorelai and Tristan shared.

"Wait a minute, I have no men who call me mommy. Who goes there?" Lorelai put on a fake British accent.

"Mom, don't you know your own daughter when you hear her?" Tristan asked putting on a high pitched voice.

"Very funny Tristan, so what's up?"

"Well, MOMMY, I need you to do me a favor."

"Just say the word."

"I need Rory and Ric to stay over there tomorrow. I mean I have to go to work anyway and Rory's starting to get her memory back and I know that her being in Stars Hollow might help her."

"Oh Tris of course. Bring her over tomorrow morning.I'll help her remember stuff. I'm good at this reminiscing thing."

"Thanks Lorelai."

"Anything for my baby. Well babies if I include Rory"

Tristan smiled as he hung up the phone.

Although it was just a joke when he called Lorelai "mommy" both he and she knew that she was more like a mother than his own was.

Tristan was about to lay down. All of a sudden he heard Richard start crying. He groaned and rolled out of the bed. He went into Richard's room to see Rory sitting on the floor with a crying Richard. His arms were around her neck and she was trying to get him off of her. Tristan walked over and picked up Richard who was still crying for his mommy. Tristan left the room saying "I want your mommy too". Rory sat there digesting what just happened and tears started flowing down her face. She was disappointing everyone. She didn't know how to act like "Rory" she didn't even know how to be herself.

The next day, Rory was sitting in the passenger seat with her arms crossed. Richard was in the back in his car seat singing the Oompa Loompa song.

"Come on Rory do this for me."

"Don't call me Rory. Why are you going to leave me with a complete stranger?" Rory asked.

"She's not a stranger, she's your mom." Tristan said, while getting Richard out of his car seat.

"Mom is just a title, I wouldn't be able to recognize her if she walked in the street, therefore not my mom." Rory tried lamely. She really didn't want to be left alone in a town full of strangers with a baby. Ugh!

"Rory come on do this for me?" Tristan repeated.

Richard ran into Lorelai's house.Rory stayed in the car. Tristan opened her door and pulled on her hand so that she would get out. She stumbled out of the car and Tristan had to half drag her into the house.

"Come on! Tristan! If you really loved me you wouldn't do this!"

"Rory this is for your own good. You'll love your mom. I mean you love your mom. I mean you loved-"

"Technicalities aren't important Tris, the point is you're leaving me stranded in a town full of strangers.

"Honey look, I'm already late for work. Just try to make it work okay. Love you. Say hi to Lorelai for me." Tristan kissed her on the cheek and sped of in his SUV.

Rory took a deep breath and walked up on the porch. There was something in the air. The smell? No. There was no smell. There was just a feeling. A certain amount of dust in the air. A certain amount of light that shone on the porch, that made he feel like this was her home. But if you knew Rory Gimore-DuGrey. You knew that she was very stubborn and she wouldn't give in to her feelings that easily. She turned the handle of the doorknob and walked in the house.

There was a small entry hall. On her left she could see the living room, and on her right the kitchen. She walked in the kitchen and into another room with a closed door.

She turned on the light and gasped.

Something about this room ....

"Hi." she heard a soft feminine voice say. She turned around. No one was there.

"Hi, I'm Rory." she heard.

" Yeah, I figured." another male voice said.

"Nice to meet you."

"Aren't we hooked on phonics?" she heard the other voice say.

Rory was confused MUCH. She guessed she was remembering something else.

She walked out into the living room and looked around at the pictures. There was one that stood out. A picture of the woman called Lorelai in her cap and gown.

"You didn't say goodbye." She heard a whisper in the wind. Where did that come from?

She remembered something about little men named Chad in her stomach.

"Gilmore, you're going nuts." she mumbled to herself.

She turned around and almost jumped out of her skin to see eyes that rivaled her own staring back at her.

"Hi." the woman said.

"Hello Lorelai." Rory said casually.

Lorelai's eyes stinged. She sounded like her mother. Ugh!

"Um so I don't really know what to do. I'm supposed to be helping you remember... stuff I guess." Lorelai laughed nervously.

"Where's Richard?" Rory asked, she only asked because she felt slightly uncomfortable with this woman and she wasn't sure what she was getting at.

"He was tired, he took a nap." Lorelai replied.

"Do you mind if I walk around this neighborhood ... by my self. Tristan told me I grew up here. It should help if I look around a bit. Don't worry I'll know my way back." Lorelai was reluctant but nodded.

"I'll be back, Lorelai. Bye."

She walked out the door and Lorelai just wanted to drop onto the floor in a ball and cry. But she couldn't. She had to be strong. She had to remind herself that this wasn't Rory. She sniffed and wiped away her stray tears and started making some coffee.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Rory looked up.

"Luke's " She read aloud. Below that was a " william's hardware" sign. Looks can be deceiving, she thought as she walked into the diner.

All eyes turned to her.

A rather large woman with heavy makeup approached her.

"Rory darling, it's so great to have you back. How's that delicious husband of yours?" The woman drawled. Rory rolled her eyes and pushed pass her, leaving the large woman rather astonished.

"Could I have some onion rings without the onions?" A strange looking man sitting at the counter asked.

"Kirk, you can't have onion rings without the rings. Then they'll just be rings!" A man in plaid said.

"What's the point of running a business if you don't meet the wants of the customers?" The odd man said.

Rory sat down on a stool next to him and turned to the worried looking waiter who was staring at her.

"Luke?" she asked.

A look of relief washed over him. No, a look of relief DROWNED him.

"May I have a menu?" Rory asked politely.

And I thought we were having progress, Luke thought bitterly as he got her menu. He knew that Gilmores knew what they wanted as soon as the walked in.

Rory scanned over the drink choices. She didn't want water and wasn't in the mood for soda.

"Um, I'll just have a cup of coffee, for here." she said politely. She wished everyone would stop looking at her like she was some sort of freak show.

"you know it'll kill you one day." a voice told her in the back of her head. She shook out that thought. She shouldn't be hearing voices.

"Sure, cumin right up." The flannel man said smirking. Maybe they were making progress after all.

There was something about his voice. Could it be he was the voice? Nah!

The man brought her a cup of coffee and she looked up and said "thanks". She looked around the diner and saw a single picture. It was of a boy with a scowl on his face in a cap and gown. He seemed very familiar.

"Oliver Twist." She heard a voice say. Rory wanted to pull out her hair or at least throw something. These voices were driving her crazy. She took a gulp of coffee and spit it out all over the flannel man.

"Oh my God! I am SO sorry Mr. Luke!" Rory cried, getting napkins to wipe him off.

"Just Luke and It's okay. Why the hell did you spit it out anyway?"

"It was too strong." Rory replied simply. Now Luke was really worried. Her eyes glanced up at the picture again.

"Sir, if you don't mind me asking ... who's that?" She asked pointing to the angry boy in the picture. Luke turned to it and smiled.

"That's my nephew Jess at his high school graduation."

"Um, do I know him?"

"yeah, you guys were pretty good friends until ... " he trailed off, feeling that it was best if he let Lorelai do the explaining.

Rory took the hint and pulled some money out of her pockets.

"It's on the house." Luke called without turning around from going into the kitchen.

"Thank you sir." Rory called.

Luke sighed, this was going to be harder than he thought.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Rory was walking around town when she reached an intersection.

"Okay, so I'll just go straight we'll be back at Luke's" the voice she heard earlier said.

"Good sense of direction." A soft voice said.

"Of course, I could turn right and we'd just be driving in circles for a while."

"Turn right."

"As you wish"

A/N: My style of writing is going to be different while Rory still has amnesia. I must have it in her POV to explain her feelings. I've never had amnesia so I don't know how it feels but I'm doing the best I can to make up stuff. Oh and that reference to little men named Chad was from "Lorelai's Graduation" if anyone was confused. REVIEW
