Summary: Rory comes back from Washington to some different surprises.
"So, 4 weeks until graduation and 3 weeks until Prom. You excited?" Lorelai asked Rory one Thursday night while they were watching TV.
"Yeah. It's all pretty exciting, but I have to tell you something." Rory said.
"Uh-huh. What's on your mind, kiddo?" Lorelai smiled.
"Um, well, I've been talking to Grandpa on the phone every other day..."
"I figured you two were chatting if you couldn't see each other." Lorelai smiled.
"Yeah, but that's not the news." Rory sighed.
"No?" Lorelai asked suspiciously.
"Well, while we were talking, I was saying how I applied to Harvard and he asked me if I applied to anywhere else........" Rory said slowly.
"And you said no, right?" Lorelai asked.
"Well, that's where the problem comes in." Rory said.
"What? Where else did you apply?" Lorelai questioned, starting to worry.
"Well, I applied to Harvard. Princeton........um, Yale." Rory said 'Yale' in a louder voice.
"Yale? Yale, the school my father went to?" Lorelai tried to clarify.
"Yeah." Rroy said quietly.
"Wow. Rory........." Lorelai started getting angry. "How long have you been keeping this from me?"
"Well, that's not entirely it." Rory said slowly and quietly.
"Oh my god! I am never letting you talk to my father again!" Lorelai yelled.
"No! Mom! Just listen to me!" Rory yelled.
"Fine." Lorelai lowered her voice.
"I looked over the Harvard stats and the Yale stats and I just looked at the bigger points. I even did a pro/con list." Rory explained.
"You did a pro/con list? That was always our thing, Rory." Lorelai said.
"I know, but my, I'm going to college. I just figured this was something that I had to decide on my own and deal with it on my own. You know I have no intentions of keeping things from you, it just sorta happened that way." Rory sighed.
"I know." Lorelai sighed too.
"So, what's the verdict?" Lorelai asked, holding her breath.
"I'm going to Yale." Rory smiled.
"Yale?" Lorelai smiled slightly.
"Yeah, Yale. Oh and you know If I get accepted, I get to live at home." Rory smiled.
"Yale it is!" Lorelai yelled and smiled. That was definitely an added bonus.
They both laughed.
"Okay, so we are doing this here?" Lorelai asked.
"Yes, we are doing this." Rory smiled and nodded.
"Okay, good." Lorelai nodded.
"Alright, I have to go tell Jess and Lane about my news." Rory got up.
"Oh, you wanted to tell me first." Lorelai smiled appreciatively.
"Yeah. Bye mom." Rory said and walked out of the door.
She ran all the way to Luke's non stop. When she reached it, she ran straight in and straight up the stairs to the apartment. She opened the door and saw Jess sitting on the couch watching TV.
"I'm going to Yale!!!!" Rory screamed as she ran in.
Jess laughed. "What?"
"I'm not going to Harvard, I am going to Yale." Rory smiled.
"Really? So that means you will be living at home?" Jess asked.
"Yeah!" Rory laughed.
"Good." Jess laughed as he got up and kissed Rory. "You got a couple of minutes to fool around?" Jess asked seductively.
"Um, I have to talk to Lane." Rory said and Jess started to pull away. "Hey! I never said I couldn't squeeze you in for a quick make out session." Rory smiled as they made their way to the bed.
An hour later, Rory ran to Lane's house and knocked on the door. Lane came and opened it.
"I'm going to Yale!" Rory screamed.
The two girls screamed and hugged.
"Congratulations!!!" Lane screeched.
"Thanks." Rory smiled.
"Guess what?!" Lane said.
"What?"
"My band is playing at a party in a week!" Lane screeched but Rory stood there, shocked.
"Band? You have a band?" Rory asked, astonished.
"Um, yeah. I was gonna tell you. But you were so busy with school and Jess that I didn't find the time to tell you." Lane sighed.
"I'm sorry." Rory said. "I will make more time for you. I have been a horrible friend lately."
"No, I should have come to you, like you came to me." Lane apologized.
"No, I'm sorry. Tell me some other stuff I don't know but I should!" Rory smiled.
"Well, I'm going out with Dave!" Lane beamed.
"Great! I'm really happy for you." Rory smiled.
"I guess that's why I didn't come to you, I was a bit more preoccupied with Dave." Lane said.
"You should be, he's your boyfriend." Rory smiled. "Id that all I missed?"
"Yeah, pretty much. I'll keep and update." Lane smiled.
"Good."
"But can you come to the party?" Lane asked.
"OF course, I won't miss it." Rory nodded.
"And bring Jess, it's like a mutual party, no invitation." Lane said.
"Okay, great. When is it?"
"Next Saturday night." Lane answered.
"Okay, I'll be there." Rory smiled.
"Great!!!! Bye!!!!!" Lane screeched and ran into her house.
"Man, she has a lot of energy." Rory smiled and walked back home.
*Ok. Short chapter because I wrote it quickly because I was lacking in time but I needed something to hold you guys over. I will have Kyle's party next and graduation. So now you're hooked! Ha-ha! Reviews and ideas STILL appreciated!!*
