Into the night of blue
You don't know what I'm going through
Life is empty and sad without you
I'm living lonely, where's my baby

Rory gave Jane and Holly hugs before she left, promising to call when she got to Venice Beach.
She threw her bags into the car and hopped in. She waved as she backed out of the driveway.

She realized that stopping near Amarillo, Texas was probably her best bet. But she had only been traveling for not even 7 hours. She was just passing through Springfield, Missouri and still had about nine hours to go. It was only 1:30. She drove through McDonalds hoping she wouldn't get sick on it but it wasn't like she had much of a choice, she still had nine hours, meaning she wouldn't get into Amarillo until around 10:30.
She sighed. This was a long drive. But she didn't want to spend the money on a plane.
She shoved a Bangles CD into the CD player to get her through the next couple hours while she played it over and over.
***
Rory got to Amarillo with no problems.
The next morning she got up at four and ran to the 24-hour supermarket to get Pop-Tarts and other various foods that she could eat with one hand. She had done her calculations last night and since Texas was 2 hours a head of California and she would leave at five in the morning and it would take about 18 hours to get there if she drove without stopping should could get there by about nine.
Rory was Bangeled out (something she never thought could happen) so she turned the dial until she found a station with music. During one of the breaks she heard them talking about a guy staying on a roller coaster for 4 days straight and still at it. He had a car with a toilet and stuff and he got a fifteen minute break every eight hours.
"That's sick," Rory told the radio. "Really, really, sick. I've done crazy stuff but that's beyond crazy, that's sick and twisted."
She shook herself. Why was she speaking to the radio? She must be people deprived. The last two people she'd had a long conversation with were Jane and Holly and that was a while ago.

Welcome To The Venice Beach Boardwalk
Rory stared at the sign. She'd made it. She was here. She drove around and found a motel. She paid for a weeks stay, noting to the receptionist that her stay may be extended.
After putting her bags in her room Rory looked at the clock. 9:07. That meant it was already tomorrow in Stars Hollow. She couldn't sleep. She walked out of the motel and walked around. Nothing was open, most stuff seemed to have closed. She stopped outside of a closed bookstore. Boardwalk Books. Peering in the window she noticed that the Classics section seemed big. She noted to check back there tomorrow when it opened.
Down the boardwalk she saw someone vaguely familiar with his arm around a girl. But the light was too hard to tell. Tears brimming her eyes Rory pushed the thought out of her head. It's probably just someone who looks like him.
But not bothering to investigate Rory walked back to the motel quickly.
