Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters except the ones you don't
recognize. The plot is all my idea. I don't own Yale either. If I did, I'd
be a very rich woman.
Summary: It's been about two years since Tristan walked away from Rory on that fateful night he was sent off to military school. Rory thought after that she would never see him ever again. She's about to get the surprise of her life.
Rating: PG-13. For now at least
Spoilers: Possible end of season 3.

"Ugghhhh. I am so glad graduation is over!" Rory Gilmore says as she flops onto the couch in her living room. "These shoes are killing me." Rory struggles to get them off as she notices a letter on the coffee table. She picks up the envelope and opens the letter. She skims it and then rereads it again to make sure she read it right the first time:
Dear Rory,
I didn't know how to do this in person, so here it goes. I knew me and you weren't working out the best lately. My dad came and visited me here a few weeks ago. When he left, he gave me a plane ticket to California. I knew I wasn't going to graduate so I took the ticket and left. By the time you read this letter I will be there already. Don't get me wrong.....I will always love you, and a part of you will always love me. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me, I never meant to hurt you....honestly I didn't. I just didn't have much of choice. Luke was going to kick me out if I didn't graduate. You're going off to Yale, what could I do? Write back if you want if you don't....whatever. I'll be back around Christmas hopefully.
With all my love, Jess
Rory dropped the letter and started crying. Lorelai heard her and walked in to see what was wrong. "Hey babe, what's the matter?" Lorelai sat down beside Rory and put her arm around Rory's shoulders. "He...he...he...left. And he didn't say...say...goodbye!", Rory cried and hickupped. "Oh, Sweetheart," Lorelai said as she smoothed the hair around Rory's face, "I'm so sorry, I know you're in a lot of pain now. Do you need anything?"'
"Yes. The biggest cup of coffee you can find. With a double shot of espresso." Lorelai stood up and gave her a mock salute. "Aye, aye! Captain. I'll do my best if I have to search the world over for it you will get your cup of coffee!" At that, Rory looked up at her mother and smiled.

A FEW DAYS LATER
"RORY!!!", Lorelai yelled down the stairs, "DO YOU HAVE EVERYTHING PACKED FOR THE TRIP????"
"YES, MOM. I CAN'T GET THE SUITCASE SHUT THOUGH, HELLLPPPPP!!!!!"
Lorelai flew down the stairs and ran into Rory's bedroom. "We are only going to be in Europe for a few months. Remember the key word was 'back pack'? Not five million pieces of luggage." Rory looked up at her mother quite exasperated, "Mom, you were the one that said that was ridiculous. Just come over here and sit on this thing so I can zip it."
"Knock, knock. Anyone home," came a voice from the living room area. "In here Luke. We need help with all of Rory's luggage." Luke Danes smiled at himself and followed the voices to Rory's room. When he got there, he was greeted by Lorelai throwing her arms around his neck and giving him a big kiss. "Well, ah see that ourah knight in shinin armah has arrived. Ah was beginin to think that we would have to lift all this heavy ol' luggage all by ourah selves," Lorelai said in what was the worst southern accent anyone had ever heard. "What are you going to do in Europe when I'm not with you?" Luke asked, all the while grinning at his girlfriend and her daughter. "Well, I guess I'll have to find a new boyfriend while I'm there," she replied smartly at him.
"As long as you don't bring him back with you I don't see any problems," Luke repled back with equal sarcasm. "Now with that settled, I guess I'll finish packing," Lorelai said as she turned around to help Rory with her suitcase. "Just you wait a minute here Missy," Luke said as he grabbed her and pulled her in for a long, passionate kiss. Rory coughed and when they still ignored her she said, "I guess I'll go say goodbye to Lane while you guys finish up packing." Lorelai gave her a thumbs up as she left. Luke and Lorelai stood there for awhile after Rory left.

LATER THAT SUMMER:
Luke stood waiting in the airport watching for Lorelai and Rory to step off their plane. As soon as they spotted him, they started at a dead run. Lorelai threw herself at him and knocked him over. "Miss me," he asked as she pelted him with kisses. "Oh not that much. You know I had Hans and Pierre and Antonio to keep me company." Rory was standing in back of Lorelai the whole time rolling her eyes and shaking her head 'no'. "Will you two stop making out in the airport? You're worse than a couple of teenagers!"
"Luke, I think she's embarrassed by us. I am so shocked. My own daught ashamed of me. What is this world coming to?
Later that week, Rory was in her room packing up all her stuff to move to her dorm room at Yale. "Hey mom, come check this out!" Rory yelled at the stairs. Lorelai came down and looked into Rory's room. "What is it hun?" Lorelai was looking around trying to figure out what it was that Rory wanted her to see. "That's just it, there's nothing here but my bed. I finished packing everything."
"Are you sure you have everything? Though I'm not sure you could fit much more into Luke and Jackson's trucks." Rory looked around her room and surveyed what was left. "I'm pretty sure I got everything. All I need now is a cup of coffee and I'll be good."
