A/n yea, I have one review so far, thank you very much Lisa T. I didn't even expect any reviews but I'm happy, keep them coming people, lol. I noticed some spelling mistakes in chapter two, and if I have time I will go back and fix them. Just a couple of notes, jess is in this story. Rory is not with dean, he never came to Star's Hollow. My story, my way, lol. Sorry if anyone is a dean fan. I don't like the way he has been portrayed. He was nice in season one and then once jess got there they made him an asshole.
Disclaimer: I am a poor university student who just spent over $600 Canadian on textbooks, I have no money left so don't sue, lol. I only own my unique storyline and the characters that you don't recognize, including Alyssa Marks.
Summary: Ali travels to Star's Hollow where she finds her mother. Only she doesn't approach her, instead she watches how she acts with the people around her. Babette catches Ali doing something.

The Truth Finally Comes Out
Chapter three - A journey's Beginning, Part 2
Ali is fast asleep before the bus even leaves L.A. (a/n I have no idea how long it would take to go from L.A. to Connecticut so I am just going to say two days).
Hours later Ali awakes to her cell phone ringing. She is afraid to answer it because she believes that it may be her parents calling. But finally she figures that even if it is she does not have to tell them where she is, she can just say that she needs some time to figure everything out and that she is fine.
By the time Ali has thought through this her phone has been ringing for several minutes and several of the other passengers are looking at her. She mumbles an apology and reaches to pick up her phone just as it stops ringing.
Taking this opportunity to look at her watch she discovers that it is 6pm, and that she has been sleeping for six hours. 'At least I finally got some sleep,' Ali thinks to herself, knowing that since finding out she had been adopted she had slept very little.
She reaches once again to pick up her phone and realizes that it had been Britney calling, not her parents after all. Unless there was a party, her parents probably wouldn't even realize that she was gone, not unless she was needed to be the perfect little daughter.
She punches in speed dial one on her phone to call Britney back, who answers on the first ring, after apparently having used caller ID.
Britney: Ali, where the hell have you been? You weren't at school today, and I was worried. I just tried calling you and the phone just rang and rang forever.
Alyssa: Okay, Brit, calm down. I just thought it might be my parents calling and I didn't want them to find out where I was.
Brit: Where you were? Ali, you haven't left yet, have you? You never even told me that you had found the papers. I'm your best friend Ali. You said we'd plan this together.
Ali: I'm so sorry Brit. I forgot to call you. It's just that once I had found out where my real mother lived I was so excited and I guess I didn't really think of anything else.
Brit: You have the papers? That's awesome Ali. Where were they? I bet they were stuck in some folder with a name like income tax returns or something like that, just like in the movies.
Ali: Way off Brit. They weren't even in the office. I searched that place top to bottom. They were in the safe deposit box.
Brit: oh my god. Of course they were. We should have thought of that, it would have been way too obvious to be in the house somewhere, especially where you could run into them.
Ali: right, because I have so many excuses to go into my mom's study and go through her files (Ali says sarcastically)
Brit: I guess you're right. Anyway.I can't believe you didn't invite me over to help you pack. But, you did pack right Ali? Because that's a very important step.
Ali: relax, of course I packed. I wouldn't travel across the country without taking some things.
Brit: good. Now, what did you take? Oh my god, how much money do you have? I mean, you can't travel that far without a place to stay if you don't have a ton of money.
Ali: I pretty much cleared out my bank account, plus I took some money from my brothers, without them knowing of course, and from my mother. Then, this morning right before my parents left, I told my dad I needed some new clothes and he gave me a couple hundred.
Brit: nice job. How long do you think that will last?
Ali: I don't know, but not very long if keep this phone conversation going, it's gonna cost me a pretty penny. I gotta go.
Brit: okay, but you have to promise to keep me updated.
Ali: okay, I promise, bye.
Brit: Bye
Ali hangs up the phone and settles back down with one of her books, Jane Eyre.
The next day the bus approaches Star's Hollow and Ali is looking out the window as a sign announcing, WELCOME TO STAR'S HOLLOW CONNECTICUT appears and her heart skips a beat.
Getting off the bus, she looks around at this quaint little town, just as Jess had done only a few months before. She starts walking as her stomach grumbles and she realizes she hasn't had real coffee in two days. She wonders where the closest restaurant is and asks the first person she runs into, Kirk.
Ali: excuse me
Kirk: yes, what do you want? Because I have to get home, mother would be very mad if I was late.
Ali: oh, okay, anyway, I was just wondering where the closest restaurant is (she says barely masking her confusion at this strange man)
Kirk: Luke's diner. He has good food, but he's always mean to me, and don't let the kid serve you, he's worse. Nobody likes him you know.
At that, Kirk walks away leaving Ali standing there confused and laughing as she turns toward what the strange man had called a diner, but upon seeing the building she wonders if perhaps he is losing it. The sign says Williams Hardware. But, nonetheless, she walks towards the building anyway and is surprised to see that it is in fact a diner.
Walking in, she notices that the place has gone silent and everyone is looking at her. She makes her way to the counter where a gorgeous young man approaches her from behind the counter (a/n did I mention I'm a Jess fan, lol)
Jess: don't mind them, they're just the town crazies, not that there's any town sanes, but anyway. What can I get you?
Ali: I've never walked into a room to have it go silent before, it sure was weird. But, whatever. Anyway, I'll have the absolute biggest cup of coffee that you have please.
Jess: wow, you remind me of someone (Jess says with a small laugh) anything else?
Ali: Um.I'm not sure, I need a minute.
Jess walks over to the coffee pot with one of the diner's biggest mugs and proceeds to fill it up. Luke enters the diner and upon seeing the cup tells Jess not to give the Gilmore girls anymore coffee.
Luke: I told them this morning, no more coffee today. You listen to me Jess, put the mug down. Which one is it this time? I swear, those girls are going to drive themselves to an early grave.
Jess: it's not for them. It's for her. (Jess nods his head in the direction of Ali, who is pondering over a menu).
Luke: Oh. (with a slight frown.)
He had been secretly hoping that it had been Lorelai. He hadn't seen her since early that morning, for it was a Wednesday and she had to work. The girls almost always stopped here on a Wednesday night, he was surprised they weren't here by now. With that, in walked the two Gilmore girls, laughing from some stupid joke Lorelai had told.
Barely making her way completely into the diner, Lorelai already starts begging for coffee, and after a couple of no's, Luke finally gives in to her like he always does.
Ali sits there just listening to the conversation between her mother and the girl she realizes must be her sister. 'wow,' Ali thought, 'I didn't even think about the possibility of having any siblings. These two seem so close, I wonder if I'll be able to get that kind of relationship with mom.'
Ali watched the two women walk out of the diner an hour later, and after only two minutes decides to follow them. Just because she wants to see where they live. She doesn't think she's ready to talk to them yet.
After seeing the house that the two women walk into she turns around and leaves, not wanting anyone to see her there and wonder what she is doing. Ali thinks that she'll come back during the day, when everyone will be at work and school and look around the house. Maybe she'll be able to even get inside instead of peaking in the windows.
Ali finds out where the nearest Inn is and makes her way to the Independence Inn, completely oblivious to the fact that her mother is the manager.
~*~
The next morning, at 11am Ali walks over to the Gilmore house. She is confident that no one will see her, after all, shouldn't they all be at work? But this is Star's Hollow, when do the town gossips do anything else?
Babette watches this young girl as she wanders around the Gilmore house, and when she disappears at the back Babette becomes worried and calls Lorelai to tell her something is going on at the house and she better come home. Barely finished that call Babette seems to have miss Patty on the phone and the gossip train is working full swing.
Lorelai quietly opens her front door and walks in, stopping in the entry way to the living room, where she spots a young woman looking at all the photos on the fireplace mantle.
"Who are you and what are you doing in my house?" Lorelai states.
Ali turns around shocked and scared, and not really knowing what to say. How should she bring her information up?
"Hi Lorelai, I'm your daughter."
A/n wow, this is my longest chapter yet. Not that I have many, but whatever. Anyway, I'm surprised I wrote this so quickly. Once I got the other two chapters up I couldn't stop thinking about this story so I wrote more. Oh, and like I said before, I'm Canadian and don't know how long it would take to travel from California to Connecticut, in that case, I don't even know how long it would take to travel across my own country. If anyone knows, just put it in a review or email me and I'll change it. My email address is canadian_holli@hotmail.com. Don't expect the next chapter till at least Sunday, I have to work this afternoon, and I don't know my schedule for this coming week. Keep the reviews coming.
