~*~PART B ~*~
'So what are we up to today?' asked Lorelai. By now they were all awake and dressed and at Luke's.
'Why don't we go see a movie,' said Rory.
'I like that idea,' said Shelby.
'Yeah me to,' said Lorelai.
'So what movie?' asked Rory.
'Do you guys have it in the newspaper or something?' asked Shelby.
'Here is your coffee and pancakes and your muffin,' said Luke bringing over there food.
'Thanks,' said the girls at once.
As Luke walks back to the counter to serve more people Jesse come down.
'Finally you were half an hour in the toilet,' said Luke.
'Well I did have grease split all over my clothes I needed a shower,' said Jesse.
'Go serve costumers,' said Luke, banishing him from working in the kitchen, he didn't want any more havoc in there.
Jesse walked over to the Gilmore table noticing a beautiful girl sitting with them; he had never seen this girl before maybe she was a relative of theirs. But boy was she good looking.
'Hi, Rory and Lorelai, how are you two? And who is this here?' he asked swiftly.
'Hi, I'm Shelby, I'm from Australia, I'm here on exchange,' said Shelby.
'Hi I'm Jesse,' he said shaking her hand.
'Jesse buddy old pal could we please have some more coffee?' asked Lorelai giving Jesse a sweet and innocent.
'Uncle Luke said not to give you any more,' said Jesse walking off.
'Well, he seems nice,' said Shelby looking over shoulder at him.
'You like him don't ya?' asked Rory teasingly.
'I don't know he seems nice though,' said Shelby with a smirk.
'So what movie do you girls want to see?' asked Lorelai.
'Well, I'm kinda beat, can I just go to the house and go and read and sleep?' asked Shelby.
'Sure I want to stay here a little bit longer, so why don't you and Rory talk about all the books you've read,' said Lorelai.
The two girls walk home, it was a beautiful day, there were clouds all around and then of course it was her first full day here. But all she wanted to do was run around breathe in this air, it seemed so beautiful and wonderful. This town seemed like a picture, it seemed to good to be true that she was in America.
'Hey where are you going?' asked Rory.
'Can we go for a walk just around the park, it seems like I'm living in a picture,' said Shelby. The two girls walked around for another hour just drinking in the summer air. It was 1 O'clock by the time the two girls got home, and it was nearly lunchtime. Rory and Shelby went into Rory's room to look at her books.
'I've never read the Scarlet Letter,' said Shelby.
'Well it's a really good book you would like it,' said Rory, handing it to her.
'Thanks, can I take this book upstairs and read it,' said Shelby.
'Sure,' said Rory as Shelby walked out of her room.
Shelby walked up to her room and started on the book, 15 minutes later she was interrupted by Lorelai coming home.
'Rory, Shelby I'm home.'
Shelby closed her eyes at that moment and was soon drifting into a deep slumber. Lorelai awaked her later that day at 4.00.
'What.' said Shelby, as she was shook violently awake.
'Oh honey don't worry, you feel asleep,' said Lorelai.
'Ok. You felt the need to wake me up because? Don't tell me coffee,' said Shelby, getting up.
'Yes and the fact that we need food, and there is none in this house,' said Lorelai.
Shelby got up and went out of the room with Lorelai. 5 minutes later they were heading off to Luke's in Lorelai and Rory's jeep.
'Oh Shelby you might need to do something with your hair,' said Rory. 'Oh yeah I might,' said Shelby, finding a brush and brushing her hair violently, she decided after tying it up three times she would leave it out, plus she looked really nice with her hair out.
Five minutes later they had finally arrived at Luke's diner. Shelby liked the diner not only because Jesse, worked there, but also the atmosphere was nice.
'So here are four coffees,' said Luke coming over with coffee.
'Thanks, Lukie,' said Lorelai.
'Don't call me that,' said Luke walking away.
'So there has to be something going on between you guys,' said Shelby.
'There is not and there will never be something going on with us,' said Lorelai a bit upset by Shelby's comment.
'I know you like him and I know that he likes you so why don't you do something about that,' said Shelby.
'I do not like him, he feeds me and gives me coffee that's all there is to this relationship and all there ever will,' said Lorelai a bit confused and upset at what she was saying.
'Here is your regular, and four more coffees are coming,' said Jesse.
'Thank you,' said Lorelai and Rory.
'So, he is staring at you,' said Rory, after a two minutes brake in the talking.
'No way he can't be staring at me,' said Shelby blushing.
'Awwww look she's blushing how cute and innocent,' said Lorelai.
'Hey there is a tall guy waving at you from the window,' said Shelby.
'Oh, its Dean I better go and talk to him,' said Rory walking out side.
'So who is Dean?' asked Shelby.
'Dean is Rory's long time boyfriend, its sad really when your daughter is half your age and has had the longest relationship between you,' said Lorelai.
-------
Rory and Dean outside.
'Hey Dean,' said Rory going up to him and kissing him.
'We need to talk,' said Dean.
'Ok I don't like the sound of that,' said Rory as they went walking off.
-------
Back in side with Jesse and Luke.
'I'm taking a break,' said Jesse walking over to the Gilmore table.
'Sure you can take a break,' said Luke.
'Hello,' said Shelby the Aussie girl who seemed to be turning peoples heads.
'Hi, do you girls need any more coffee?' he asked not sure what to do.
'No your on brake and plus if I drink any more coffee I'm likely never to go to sleep again,' said Shelby with a smile.
'That's true,' said Jesse.
'I'm going to go and talk to Luke and get more coffee,' said Lorelai leaving Jesse and Shelby alone.
Jesse sits down, 'So, what's Australia like?'
'Well let's see it's coming to the end of our winter, which by the way aren't very cold and our spring is like your summer, and our summers are way to hot,' asked Shelby sarcastically.
'Really,' said Jesse not understanding the joke.
'But the scenery is great were I live. I am staying with my grandparents at the moment cause they took custody of me about three years ago and our backyard is so beautiful,' said Shelby looking out side towards Rory and Dean.
'I write emails to someone from Australia, she's crazy,' said Jesse.
'Really? That's cool. I have heaps of e-pals. It occupy's my time, I have one who use to live in NYC but then moved to some small quirky town,' said Shelby, not usually telling people this sort of thing, as it was another persons private information.
'Sounds like me,' said Jesse jokingly.
'Yeah well what is your person like you never know we could be each other's email friend,' said Shelby joking with him.
'Well she is turning 17 and lives in Brisbane and goes to a private girls college,' said Jesse.
'Wow she is sounding more and more like me,' said Shelby, 'what is her email address?'
'Umm something like dumb_brownwithasquarehead@msn.com it's really weird,' said Jesse.
Immediately Shelby dropped her fork and went white, 'Your joking aren't you?'
'No, why?' he asked dum founded at the question.
'Because that's my email, either that is some freak incident or your trying to freak me out,' said Shelby with a smile *so this cute guy who knows everything about me, every little detail well not everything but I never really imagined him to be this cute he is--*
'What are you kidding?' *so this is the girl that I have written to for the last 8 months the one that has kept me sane in the insane world*
'Hey lets go for a walk,' said Shelby taking his hand and walking out of the diner.
-----------
Mean while with Luke and Lorelai.
'So more coffee?' asked Luke, starting to pour coffee in to a mug.
'I don't think I need to answer that question,' said Lorelai with a cute smile.
There was a brake in there conversation.
*I like her, god look at her the way she does everything with such I don't know but its -*
'So they seem to be getting along quiet well don't they?' asked Lorelai.
'Umm who?' asked Luke.
'Those two, Shelby and Jesse, she is really nice Luke but I'm worried about her she has a past that no one really knows about and it freaks me and Rory out, we read an email from her mother saying all this weird stuff and I don't think she lives with her mum. I mean she says she does with us, but I just don't think she does. And also she has been rapped,' said Lorelai, looking over the two. It was the first time Lorelai noticed she was really pretty, and seeing her smile for the first time, she looked like something out of this world.
'What? Lorelai did you read her mail? So you should judge her. But are you sure about that?' asked Luke.
---------
With Rory and Dean.
'Dean what's wrong?' Rory asked.
'Were moving,' said Dean looking over at her.
'What, when, why?' asked a stunned Rory.
'Well, I've known for about 5 days but you've been busy I've been busy and well were moving umm on Monday,' said Dean.
'That's tomorrow,' said Rory.
'Yeah, I know,' said Dean.
'I guess this is goodbye isn't it?' asked Rory upset.
'No it doesn't have to be. We can try a long distance relationship,' said Dean.
'Dean, our relationship has been trouble for a while now, I think there is no point, you no that long distance relationships never work,' said Rory.
'Yeah I guess you're right, I just never wanted to leave you,' said Dean.
'I never wanted to leave you to, but we'd grow apart,' said Rory, kissing Dean on the cheek and hugging him and then walking off.
'I'm leaving early so I'll guess we can write to each other,' said Dean, and that they did they continued to write to each other faithfully for a very long time.
Rory walked home slowly realising that now that Dean has gone she can finally admit to her self that she did have feelings for Tristan but if only she could see him again.
--------
Jesse and Shelby. 10 minutes later.
'So, I never really expected to meet you this way,' said Shelby.
'This way? Did you plane to meet me at all?' asked Jesse shocked.
'Oh yeah offcourse I had this whole thing planed I was coming here just to meet you because you are so important,' said Shelby sarcastically.
'So, what did you think we would do when we meet for the first time?' asked Jesse.
'Well I thought we'd talk, go to the movies, and we'd talk and talk about things some more, and then I thought I might go to my room and we would go out the next day and then I would leave you and then we might hug goodbye, I sorta haven't planned minute for minute yet but I'm sure I can if you want' said Shelby, as Jesse went to hug her.
'So when we meet were we anything more than friends?' asked Jesse curiously.
'Well I use to imagine that we were something more, but you were my only friend really, so then I wouldn't think it would-' Shelby suddenly stopped as she was babbling as she was been kissed by Jesse, '..hey, would you look at that, were at my house, I better go in.'
*She hated it I can't believe I just did that, she'll hate me I can't believe I did that, but she is so beautiful I would have killed myself if I hadn't done that*
*Oh my god he just kissed me, is my breath bad, I really liked it I hope it didn't sound to rude the way I left I hope*
'Hey I'm back,' said Shelby walking in to where Rory and Lorelai sat.
'Why are you so chipper?' asked Rory who looked happy also.
'Why are you looking so chipper?' asked Shelby back.
'I asked you first so I'll tell first,' said Rory, 'Dean and I broke up and he is moving away so I guess I'm happy though I should be sad.'
'Ok, that's weird, umm I guess I should go then,' said Shelby.
'So was he any good?' asked Lorelai.
'Huh?'
'Was he any good at kissing?' asked Lorelai
'Oh you..! You were spying on me!! He is a very good kisser from what I can tell I just hope I don't have bad breath,' said Shelby, walking up to her room.
'So, tell us more!!' said Rory going up to her room.
'No, I'm not telling any more until you tell me some more of your's I never even meet this guy,' said Shelby.
'Well you saw what he looked like and well he is very nice, and sweet and well moving back to Chicago and he is probably going to go back to he's ex- girlfriend and I will never see him again and now I guess I can let myself be attracted to any boy I want!' said Rory happily.
'Is there a guy you like already?' asked Lorelai.
'No way I don't like any guy at all, well I do Tristan,' said Rory seeing that she wasn't going to get away with it.
For the rest of the night the three talked about Shelby and her hometown. They even tried to ask her something's about her past.
'So was your childhood good or bad?' asked Lorelai.
'It was ok, as good as it could be,' answered Shelby getting up, 'I'm tired I think I'm going go to bed. Is it ok if I have a shower?'
'Sure use the same towel,' answered Lorelai.
'Mum what do you think is wrong with her?' asked Rory.
'She's got a major problem and I think we should help,' said Lorelai genuinely upset.
Just as she finished the phone rang.
'Hello?' said Rory as she picked up she phone.
'Shelby honey,' said a woman.
'Sorry she's in the shower who may I ask is speaking?' she asked.
'It's her mother, Avril,' said the woman.
'Do you want to leave a message?' Rory asked unsure of what to do.
'There is to much to say in a message,' said Avril nearly in tears.
'Could I ask you a question?' asked Rory.
'Sure.'
'What has happened to you two?'
'She was so smart and then I left her I dumped her, I couldn't take her and gave her to my parents, and when they told me she got an exchange for a year I thought she might say good bye,' she said sobbing.
'I'm sorry,' said Rory shocked.
'Well tell her that I'm so sorry,' said the woman as she hung up.
'Mum you wouldn't believe this,' said Rory as she told her mother what happened to Shelby.
'Wow no wonder why that child is out of it, she seems out of this world,' said Lorelai.
'You got that feeling too,' said Rory amazed.
'She seems - she has this feeling - I don't know what it is about her but she has this feeling about her like she's out of this world,' said Lorelai amazed.
Just as she finished saying Shelby came out of the bathroom in her pyjamas and went to her bedroom and said 'Good night you two.'
The two walked up to her bedroom and jumped on her bed.
'Hey honey your mum just called,' said Lorelai.
'Really wow she remembers who I am,' said Shelby sarcastically.
'She says sorry,' says Rory.
'Yeah it still doesn't make up for what she did to me.'
'You should at least try and forgive her,' said Lorelai.
'It's unforgivable,' snapped Shelby, 'look I understand you want to help but I just want to be alone.'
'If you want to talk I'm right next door,' said Lorelai.
That night Shelby couldn't fall asleep she new she would have dreams of her mother if she did. Shelby was awoken with a start in the morning, as Lorelai and Rory jumped on her bed to wake her up.
'Wake up sleepy head its 10.00 and we need to go cause you have lunch at 12.00,' said Lorelai.
'God what should I wear?' asked Shelby as she got out of her bed and looked around for a pair or jeans and a nice top.
'We've got that cover already,' said Rory handing her clothes and pushing her down the stairs.
'What the hell are these?' asked Shelby coming out of the bathroom with bobbles on her breasted area, and a middle length skirt.
'Oh god there things I put on for a party,' said Lorelai smiling as she went over to take them off.
The three collapsed five minutes later on the couch from laughing so much.
'We need to do your makeup,' said Rory.
'And hair,' said Lorelai smiling.
15 minutes later they were out the door they need coffee and a quick bite to eat so they went to Luke's, by the way they left her hair out and didn't put much makeup on Shelby.
'Coffee,' said Shelby walking in and forgetting what happened the day before with her and Jesse.
'Luke we need five coffees,' said Lorelai seriously, 'and we need three muffins. To go.'
'Here,' he said a minute later as he handed her five coffee.
'Thanks,' said Rory and Shelby.
'Come on girls or else we'll be late,' said Lorelai as they went out of the diner.
'Hey Shelby can we talk,' said Jesse.
'Can we talk later or else we are going to be late?' asked Shelby.
'Sure,' he said walking back into the diner.
'What have you done to her?' asked Luke.
'I hope I haven't done anything wrong,' said Shelby shocked.
The ride to Hartford was filed with singing and joking and laughing they arrived 5 minutes late but it didn't really matter.
'Sorry I'm late,' she said to the couple at the table she was directed to.
'No problem,' said the lady, Shelby noticed she was Australian.
'We thought you might be a little hungry so we order some bread,' said the gentleman.
'Thank you,' said Shelby smiling, noticing he two was Australian.
'We thought we might take this opportunity to get to know you,' said the lady. 'I'm Sarah, and this is Daniel.'
'It's nice to meet you two,' said Shelby.
'So what are we up to today?' asked Lorelai. By now they were all awake and dressed and at Luke's.
'Why don't we go see a movie,' said Rory.
'I like that idea,' said Shelby.
'Yeah me to,' said Lorelai.

'Hey there is a tall guy waving at you from the window,' said Shelby.
'Oh, its Dean I better go and talk to him,' said Rory walking out side.
'So who is Dean?' asked Shelby.
'Dean is Rory's long time boyfriend, its sad really when your daughter is half your age and has had the longest relationship between you,' said Lorelai.

'Do you want to leave a message?' Rory asked unsure of what to do.
'There is to much to say in a message,' said Avril nearly in tears.
'Could I ask you a question?' asked Rory.
'Sure.'
'What has happened to you two?'
'She was so smart and then I left her I dumped her, I couldn't take her and gave her to my parents, and when they told me she got an exchange for a year I thought she might say good bye,' she said sobbing.
'I'm sorry,' said Rory shocked.
'Well tell her that I'm so sorry,' said the woman as she hung up.
'Mum you wouldn't believe this,' said Rory as she told her mother what happened to Shelby.
'Wow no wonder why that child is out of it, she seems out of this world,' said Lorelai.
'You got that feeling too,' said Rory amazed.
'She seems - she has this feeling - I don't know what it is about her but she has this feeling about her like she's out of this world,' said Lorelai amazed.
Just as she finished saying Shelby came out of the bathroom in her pyjamas and went to her bedroom and said 'Good night you two.'
The two walked up to her bedroom and jumped on her bed.
'Hey honey your mum just called,' said Lorelai.
'Really wow she remembers who I am,' said Shelby sarcastically.
'She says sorry,' says Rory.
'Yeah it still doesn't make up for what she did to me.'
'You should at least try and forgive her,' said Lorelai.
'It's unforgivable,' snapped Shelby, 'look I understand you want to help but I just want to be alone.'
'If you want to talk I'm right next door,' said Lorelai.
That night Shelby couldn't fall asleep she new she would have dreams of her mother if she did. Shelby was awoken with a start in the morning, as Lorelai and Rory jumped on her bed to wake her up.
'Wake up sleepy head its 10.00 and we need to go cause you have lunch at 12.00,' said Lorelai.
'God what should I wear?' asked Shelby as she got out of her bed and looked around for a pair or jeans and a nice top.
'We've got that cover already,' said Rory handing her clothes and pushing her down the stairs.
'What the hell are these?' asked Shelby coming out of the bathroom with bobbles on her breasted area, and a middle length skirt.
'Oh god there things I put on for a party,' said Lorelai smiling as she went over to take them off.
The three collapsed five minutes later on the couch from laughing so much.
'We need to do your makeup,' said Rory.
'And hair,' said Lorelai smiling.
15 minutes later they were out the door they need coffee and a quick bite to eat so they went to Luke's, by the way they left her hair out and didn't put much makeup on Shelby.
'Coffee,' said Shelby walking in and forgetting what happened the day before with her and Jesse.
'Luke we need five coffees,' said Lorelai seriously, 'and we need three muffins. To go.'
'Here,' he said a minute later as he handed her five coffee.
'Thanks,' said Rory and Shelby.
'Come on girls or else we'll be late,' said Lorelai as they went out of the diner.
'Hey Shelby can we talk,' said Jesse.
'Can we talk later or else we are going to be late?' asked Shelby.
'Sure,' he said walking back into the diner.
'What have you done to her?' asked Luke.
'I hope I haven't done anything wrong,' said Shelby shocked.
The ride to Hartford was filed with singing and joking and laughing they arrived 5 minutes late but it didn't really matter.
'Sorry I'm late,' she said to the couple at the table she was directed to.
'No problem,' said the lady, Shelby noticed she was Australian.
'We thought you might be a little hungry so we order some bread,' said the gentleman.
'Thank you,' said Shelby smiling, noticing he two was Australian.
'We thought we might take this opportunity to get to know you,' said the lady. 'I'm Sarah, and this is Daniel.'
'It's nice to meet you two,' said Shelby.
