A/N: Sorry this took so long. I've had it written for a while now. It was supposed to be longer but I didn't like the last part so I took it out. Hope you like it.

"Rory!" Colin smiled hugging her.

"Hey." She looked around. "This is one hell of an apartment."

"Then stay with us." Colin grinned resuming his game of Grand Theft Auto.

"Yes stay. I'll help guarantee our spot as some of the coolest guys on campus." Finn came back from the putting Rory's bags into the extra bedroom.

"How's that?" Rory asked taking in the apartment.

"We're devilishly handsome, rich, we have a killer apartment and we'll have the stunning Rory Gilmore staying with us."

Rory laughed. "Yes I'm just that amazing, a regular Scarlet O'Hara."

"You are, a pretty girl, a Gilmore- the only granddaughter- and your smart." Colin chimed in.

Rory sighed thinking of Shira. "I'm not properly bred and I'm not cut out to be high class."

"Screw that. Shira's a bitch. You are known and have a good name." Finn said sounding a big agitated.

"Seriously Ror, don't listen to her. She's jealous."

"Shira jealous of me?" Rory asked, incredulously.

Finn laughed. "I guess you don't know the story. She's a small town hick."

"Met Mitchum at a bar. She ended up pregnant with Honor." Colin paused his game. "Well not that night, at least that's not what I hear but a few months in."

"His parents freaked out. They tried to cover it up and get them married quickly but it didn't work. Everyone knew that he had gotten some hick pregnant and was going to end up married to her. What a disgrace to the Huntzbergers."

"She was probably jealous of your mom because at least it was two respectable people. And from what my mom says Shira was always a bit jealous of Lorelai. Apparently Mitchum had his eye on her."

Rory laughed. "I had no idea. That's insane!"

"So now will you stay here?" Finn asked once her laughing had calmed down some.

Rory looked around again, walking a bit and taking it all in. "Yeah, I'll stay."

Driving into Stars Hollow she did a double take. Revolutionary Road…what happened to Anderson? She really did miss the town and all it's quirks.

She parked in the yard. There were still traces of construction but the house was expanded. She went to the porch and knocked shuffling her feet some.

"Coming." She heard her mom yelling, and then heard her as she ran through the house. When she finally opened the door she stood staring at Rory.

"Mom…" Rory looked back at her.

"Come in!" Lorelai moved a bit. "It's okay Paul Anka." She yelled into the house.

Her mom must have lost her mind she thought. "Paul Anka?"

"It's the dog." Lorelai said shutting the door behind her.

"It's still alive?"

"Yes. He's doing fine. I was making coffee…"

Rory nodded and followed her to the kitchen. "You re-floored."

Lorelai nodded. "I thought it was time for a change, plus Paul Anka was scared of the old floor."

"Why Paul Anka…why not spot or Rover?"

Lorelai poured the coffee and sat down. "This from the girl that had an imaginary llama named Freddy Mercury when she was seven."

Rory smiled, she had forgetting about Freddy. "I'm going back to Yale."

Lorelai immediately brightened. "Really?"

"Yeah…." She took a breath. "And I broke up with Logan….he cheated on me."

"Bastard. You deserve better."

Rory nodded a little. "I missed you."

"I missed you too Rory." Lorelai smiled a bit at her.

Lorelai's ring caught Rory's eye. "So when's the date?"

Lorelai looked at her ring and smiled a bit then back at Rory. "I was waiting until we were talking. I want you to be my maid of honor."

Rory nodded. "I'll do it." She looked around. "So where's Luke?"

"Working." Lorelai got up getting a doughnut. "Paul Anka." She smiled at the dog that was sticking head into the room cautiously. "Meet Rory."

Paul Anka sniffed the air and then slowly went towards Rory. He looked at her from about a foot away before going up and sniffing her. Then he laid down at her feet.

"He must really like you."
