Alright everyone, we are getting there. Thanks for the congratulations
towards graduation! It was awesome and now I can finish the end. Anyway,
here's how the next few chapters work, it's graduation day, but it's broken
into hours. So every chapter is going to reflect a certain hour, and they
will be titled. So read on my little Gilmore-aholics.

The Hour of 10 A.M.
Rory rolled over and noticed that her alarm clock had been buzzing for quite some time. She grumbled for a moment and rolled over to notice her mother hovering over her. Another loud moan and she pulled the covers over her head. It was a dream, it wasn't happening. She, Rory Gilmore was still asleep and when she woke up there would be no problems with Jess or speech she would have to give in a few hours.
"Wake up sleepy head."
"Go away figment of my imagination, brought on by too much caffeine in a teenager's diet."
"I resent that."
"Fine. Brought on by that buffet's mash potatoes. Happy?" Rory rolled over to her left side trying best as she could to avoid Lorelai.
"You have to get out of that bed some time today!"
"That's what you think."
Lorelai jumped on Rory and began to tickle her. This feeling brought Rory back to thoughts about her childhood and how her mother used to do this to her right before school every morning. When they were done the tickle war and Rory gave in to her mother they sighed. Lorelai looked at her daughter. She was on the verge of being a young woman, and leaving Lorelai. Only for a few months at a time right now, but what about after she graduate college? Would she really be able to handle such a thing? Lorelai looked at Rory.
"Time you get dressed and get some breakfast. Did you get the heels for your dress yesterday?"
"Yeah mom."
Lorelai got up and walked out of the room. Rory sat up in bed and noticed her mortarboard next to her bed. She took it into her hands now. To think in another few hours she would no longer be a young adult, but and adult. Then a college freshman. Was she really to grow up and leave? Leave the house she had known all her life? Leave her mother to watch movies all alone on movie night? Rory shook her head. What was she thinking? She would be home to watch the movies every now and again and her mom and her had a telephone. She looked at the tassel, 2003. She thought this day would never come, and that nothing could ever shatter her world. She thought about Jess now, and how he had left her here. Her broken heart sitting in his hands in California. Every moment a tear fell from her eye. She didn't know why, whether it was for graduation or Jess or just because.
She pulled herself out of bed and walked over to the mirror. In her mind a flashback came to her about the day she had started at Chilton. Her mom so eager to get her girl to school and Rory still in shock. Now she was graduating and was Valedictorian. A rare honor indeed. She looked hard into the mirror searching for the Rory she once knew. The Rory before Jess and just before Dean. The sweet innocent and naive Rory, just entering a new world. A world of possibility and unlimited chances.
Now she only saw the Rory after the painful loss of Dean and the union of her and Jess. The union that ended with him running out of her life. Now only hearing him in e-mail fashion. Pain and sorrow lied within those eyes that were so dreamy and hopeful not less than three years ago. There was no hiding it.
Rory walked silently towards her the black gown. In a few hours, there would be no mistake she would be wearing this distinguished garment. She ran her fingers gingerly down the front of it and a tear fell from one eye. Jess, she thought silently. Where are you?
