Professional scatterbrain – actually I never have tried the whole surfing thing, I wind surfed once in Bonaire, but let's just say it didn't go over well. And thanks for the Spelling!

runaway mental patient – Thank you! You're really going to have to keep me in check. I know the chapters are short, and I'm trying to make them longer. I've been reading all of these stories for about a year, and have just now attempted to write my own. It's harder than it looks. I've got it all in my head but making it come out is the problem.

ldydee81 - Yea! Yea! Yea! Actually I am a Swimmer, and a swim coach (we have a meet tonight. were undefeated, but this will be the hardest one yet. Wish me luck!) But narced has nothing to do with swimming. It has to do with Scuba Diving! So you guessed right. But what does it have to do with scuba diving? At this point odds are no one is going to know unless they grew up around scuba diving, like me, or when they took their Scuba classes they memorized every word out of the instructor's mouth. I'll give you more clues each chapter.
Ok and LIGHTS, COMPUTER SCREEN, READ!

BIG IMPORTANT NOTE- Chris died in a motorcycle accident when Rory was younger.

After loosing rock paper scissors to Lorelei, Rory got up and headed to the window to see who was at the door.

Yelling back into the kitchen she asked, "Mom, you remember that envelope I told you to mail about a moth ago, and you said you could handle it"

"yea"

"Well you mailed it, didn't you?"

"Yea, you mean the one with our taxes in it, I mailed it"

"are you sure?"

"yea. Why?"

"there's a guy out here in a suit. No one wears a suit in Stars hollow unless someone died"

"oh yes, maybe it's Kirk!" she said running and opening the door.

"hi I'm Lorelei, is it Kirk? I'm so sorry I just can't tell you how much he will be missed."

"No ma'am it's not Kirk. May I come in?" asked a very confused man.

"uhhh... yea just one second...TRISTAN"

"Don't yell Lorelei I'm right behind you"

"ok good" she said turning back to the man at the door "yea come in, just be aware that he could rip your head off in ten seconds flat if you try anything mister" she threatened referring to Tristan.

"um ok I'll keep that in mind" said a now scared looking man in his early thirties.

Lorelei led him in to the living room and invited him to sit down

He cleared his throat nervously and glanced over a Tristan while pulling a thick folder out of his briefcase. "um...ok... are you Miss Lorelei Leigh Gilmore?"

"yes"

"um... ok... that's odd" he said while searching through the papers in his hand. Apparently finding what he was looking for he said "well...um...my records show that you should be 17"

"that's me" Rory said stepping out of the corner.

"ohh. Umm could you come sit down, please?"

"Sure" she said pulling Tristan behind her and both of them sitting down on the couch

"Ok...well, let me just start with telling you who I am. My name is Thomas and I am an assistant to the Queen of Cordoba

(Authors Note-yes thank you Cordoba is not really a country I know, I pulled out a map closed my eyes and pointed. It's actually a place in Argentina. But not any more. Now it is a country much like the US or Brittan, a superpower, except still ruled by a Monarchy).

She has sent me here to find you. You see when her majesty was 17 she found out she was pregnant. She was sent off to boarding school in the states so that no one would hear of the matter. Once the baby was born it was put up for adoption. Now I'm sure your wondering what any of this has to do with you. Your father" he started looking through his papers again "yes I believe he was named Christopher Hayden, Correct?"

"yes" said a very confused rory

"yes well, he was that baby" he gave a moment for his words to sink in before he went on "Now a few years after the adoption the Princess was married. She marred the father of the baby, or I suppose your Grandfather, and they became king and queen. Now they had another child named Henry. Henry was destined to take over the country until recently when he was diagnosed with cancer. They have sadly given him only three months left to live. This is where we've encountered the problem of who is destined to take over the country once the current king and queen are no longer capable. That is when they told us about the adopted child. He was the next heir to the throne. After much research we discover that he was killed many years ago. Correct?"

"yes, he was in a motorcycle accident" whispered a almost frightened Rory

"Well, this leads us to present day, we found out he had a daughter, and here I am. Now it will not be necessary for you to move to Cordoba immediately. When you turn 18 next month you will inherit a large sum of money. You will need to come to Cordoba then in order to meet your Grandparents, and to be told how you need to be educated so that you can properly fulfill your duties. You will be able to be educated wherever you choose, meaning you may stay here if you like until you are twenty-one. Then it will be necessary for you to move and live in Cordoba."

"Any Questions?"
I know it's short but there was a lot of explaining to do.

What do you think?

Ok your clue- It has to do with scuba diving. Guess! Guess! Guess!

Ok and like I said I have a swim meat tonight. It's going to be a really close one. We're undefeated, but I've looked at everyone's times and if everyone swims the exact same times as we have recorded for them (which is highly unlikely) and no one gets disqualified, we will win by THREE points. If you have ever been to a swim meet you know how close that is. Our last meet was 456 to 324. So three points is really close. Wish me luck!!
