Stars Hallow was a small town. Not very many people, but not too small and not too big, it was perfect. Everyone knew everyone, and gossip spread before it even happened. In a town like this nothing is kept a secret, at least not for long. It was a hot summer day, the diner was crowded, no, it was packed, and Luke had been running around all day, he couldn't seem to find order. Lorelai wasn't helping either, she sat at the counter with Rory and kept tapping her mug, and it was her way of hinting that she needed a refill. Rory was sitting next to her she was only half way done with her mug and had her head in a book. She was only 8 but she had read every book she had come in contact with since she was born. There standing in the middle of all the chaos stood a boy, a young boy, around the same age as Rory. He just stood there, he was confused, and he set down the small bag he had with him and pulled out a book and started to read. He didn't like all the staring faces, with his book he didn't have to face them, it was his way of running away and hiding. The diner soon became silent, all noticing the young boy standing in the middle of it all. He was alone, a small child, with no mother and no father, standing by himself, no one knew who he was, well no one but Luke.
