The Answer to Life's Questions
A/N: OMG I love all of you who are reviewing! BTW hasapi- this takes place the winter coming now - after the dance and R/J official hook-up etc. Late November/Early December-ish. I'll probably jump to Christmas about the 4th or 5th part. Thanks again for reviewing and please keep it up!

Chapter Two: "I'm not going anywhere"
(Rory 1st person POV)
"...and fly up and over the quickly sketched trees and then to California," he said, finishing Part 1 of the book. I looked at my watch and frowned, " It's late, I should get home soon." He sighed and closed the book, slipping it back into his backpack. "I know, tomorrow begins a new week of fun and learning. We should rest up," he said sarcastically. I glared at him, "Dont give me that attitude, you know school is important. Besides, you can't fool me with the whole 'I hate school' thing anymore. You've been improving lately...not to mention attending your classes."
He smiled and kissed my forehead saying, "Well, I finally have a reason to stay here in this small town where everyone hates me." I kissed him gently, to quell his fears and said, "Not everyone hates you. My mom likes you and Luke loves you, even if he only shows it in his grunts of approval. You know I love you more than anything, which is why you make these ploys to get me to tell you. So don't even think about leaving town while being the 'hoodlum rejected by the town,' alright?" He blushed then rose silently and helped me to my feet. "Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere," he said as we began to walk towards my house.

(Lorelai 1st person POV)
I looked at my watch for the 7th time as I tried to distract myself of Rory's absence with our weekly ritual of watching "Alias" and swooning over Vaughn. As a commercial came on I stepped out onto the porch, sipping my coffee as I looked for Rory.
I stepped off the porch and into the yard and saw them kissing at the end of the driveway with the energy only teenagers in love have. I smiled, then put on an angry face and shouted, "Hey Rory! While you're welding Jess' lips to yours, Vaughn's on his death bed in here!" They jumped apart quickly, blushing so red I could see it in the porch light. She kissed him one more time, taking the blanket from her shoulders and wrapping it around his, then ran up the driveway. She took the coffee from my hand as she reached me, drinking it all in one gulp then grinning at me. "That good huh?" I said with an evil grin as I took the cup and we walked inside.
I refilled my coffee and sat on the couch, while Rory changed into her pajamas, waiting for the details to be spilled. Rory flopped down beside me, a silly grin still plastered on her face as she said, "What did I miss?" I shrugged and replied, "Not a lot, the usual sexual tension and looks of love that are ignored every week. Let's forget the two people in love who aren't making out in front of my house for a minute and focus on the ones that are." She blushed then held out her hand and I immediately noticed the ring shining on her hand and screamed, "OH MY GOD!" She nodded and hugged me excitedly before sitting back to admire it once again. "I wonder who he stole it from," I said with a smirk, "Actually, it looks like something that used to be mine..." Rory frowned and put her hand behind her back, "Stop acting like Veruca this minute or no more coffee for life" I gasped and said in surprise, "I am not Veruca! Do I look like I'm making you buy me thousands of chocolate bars here, I just thought it looked familiar, really." She looked unconvinced and said, "You're Veruca to a T, saying 'Mine, mine mine!' You'll end up in the incinerator with the bad eggs if you don't watch it. You also know Jess doesn't steal...anymore" I pouted and sighed then just sipped my coffee and said, "Alright, you win. I don't wanna burn with the bad eggs I just want to drink from the chocolate river and dance with the Oompa Loompa's a little." She smiled and patted my head, "I know, and I promise someday I'll have enough money to buy you you're own personal 24/7 Oompa Loompa friend, but until then you'd better be nice and stop teasing my boyfriend," I pretending to be bothered my this and said, "Alright. I suppose I can wait a little while longer for him to come. I really am happy for you and Jess though, he's showing a lot of trust right now." She smiled and looked at the ring once more saying, "I know he is, and he'll never regret it." I handed her a piece of chocolate and we both said "Oooooooooooooh," as they showed the flashback of Vaughn in a tank top again and things fell easily back into their place.
