Lucas was walking Tree Hill High School for the finial time before graduation ceremony in a few days. Lucas walked to his locker and saw the pictures Haley put up in the locker and smiled. The first picture was of Lucas, Nathan, and Haley when they graduated the eight grade. The second was of Lucas and Nathan after they won the state championship sophomore year the first of three. The last one was of him and Rory during spring break Lucas throwing her in the water.
Lucas cleaned out his locker and walked into the gym were Nathan, Tim, and Jake was waiting for him. Lucas walked over to them they are staring up at the three state championship banners hang from the rafters. Whitey walked from his office and into the gym to see the four seniors from his team just standing there not talking just looking.
"What the hell are you four doing here? Since you're here start running suicides." The four laughed as did Whitey. "You four are the best players that I've ever had the privileged to coach. Three of you are going to the same school but one knuckle head just had to be different." Everyone laughed and looked at Tim he shrugged. "You boys remember you have to do it on your own I'm not going to be there for you anymore. I've taught you guys all I know it's up to you what you do with it just remember no regrets." Whitey put his hand out and the guys put there's on top of his and Tim said the famous words. "Ravens on three…One…Two…Three Ravens."
They all said and then hugged Whitey and walked out Whitey whipped away some tears and looked up at the banners. Lucas walked outside and found Haley, Peyton, and Brooke sitting on a bench and smiled and keeps on walking to his truck. Lucas looked up and saw Rory sitting on the hood of the truck he smiled and walked over to her and hugged her.
"What are you doing here?" Lucas said holding her face in his hands and kissing her.
"I came to see you graduate." "How did you get here"
"I finally used that ticket you gave me." Lucas smiled and kissed her again.
"What about school"
"I'm only going to miss one day and if anyone asks you're my doctor." "Does this mean you want to play Doctor Mary?" Lucas said with a smirk.
"If you're a good little boy." Rory said kissing him again. Lucas and Rory went to the café and Karen hugged her and got her some coffee.
"Rory how long are you here for?" Karen asked her sitting down.
"Until Sunday afternoon then I have to go take finals." Lucas put his arm around her and kissed her forehead and they talked until closing and then went to Lucas's room and slept. There was a knock on the door and Lucas looked over at the clock and saw it read ten till six and know it was Nathan to go running he untangled him self from Rory and unlocked the door and it was Nathan standing there.
"Why the hell are you not ready"
"Rory flew in yesterday." Nathan smiled at his brother.
"Say no more bro but you're still running with me today"
"Fine let me get dressed." Lucas went and grabbed a pair of sweat paints and his hoodie while Nathan sat down at his desk throwing a basketball into the air. Rory reached over on the bed but didn't feel Lucas sleeping beside her and she opened her eyes and saw Nathan throwing the basketball into the air.
"Good morning Rory." Nathan said not looking over at her, she mumbled something Nathan couldn't understand and turned her face the other way. Lucas walked out of the bathroom and kissed Rory on the forehead and he and Nathan went for there run. Around seven, Lucas walked into his room and Rory wasn't in bed but he heard the shower on he looked out and saw his mom and Keith sitting at the table reading the paper and snuck into the bathroom. Lucas striped out of his clothes and joined her in the shower.
"Good morning Mary." Lucas said while kissing her neck she turned around, kissed him, and ran her hand up his chest.
"The shower is all yours I'm done." Rory got out of the shower before Lucas could grab her. Rory was smirking and grabbed her towel she saw Lucas watching her and she dried off very slowly. When she was done, she walked over and kissed Lucas while she was kissing him she reached in and grabbed Lucas and he moaned into her mouth with her other hand she turned the hot water off and ran out of the bathroom. Lucas jumped when the cold water hit him but didn't change it be caused he need the cold water.
It was almost six and Lucas was getting ready for graduation when Rory walked in when Lucas was putting on his shirt. "Didn't your mother teach you to knock before entering? I could've been naked in here."
"That would've been so bad." Rory laughed and put her hands under his wife beater and ran them up and down his chest. Lucas kissed her and brought his hands on her legs and ran them up and down her legs Rory's eyes closed and Lucas's hands were drawling circles on the back of her thighs.
"Lucas are you ready to go?" Karen asked knocking on his door.
"We'll finish this later." Rory nodded and kissed him as Lucas was butting up his shirt and putting his tie on and Rory striating it.
Lucas was walking over to all of his friends who were talking to each other. A teacher walked over to the students and told them they need to take there sets.
Haley gave her valedictorian speech and then the principal started to call the students names the first was Brooke Davis then it was Junk, Skills, Haley James, and Marvin 'Mouth' McFadden, Peyton Sawyer, Lucas Scott, Nathan Scott, Tim Smith, Ferguson 'Fergie' Thompson and then the rest of the senior class. Lucas looked up and saw Dan standing in the back looking at his two sons graduating and then he left.
Lucas and Rory went to his house, changed, went to Debs beach house, and celebrated. Lucas had his arm around Rory his hand on her hip Lucas got him and Rory a can of pop Lucas was not going to drink. Around midnight Lucas and Rory were head to Lucas's house. "When are you coming to Stars Hollow?" Lucas looked over at Rory and smiled. "I was thanking about flying back with you." It was Rory's turn to smile at him.
"Were are we going to stay after school"
"While we can stay with your mom until a month before school starts then we will stay here. If that is okay with you and your mom?" "Sounds great Lucas." Rory took Lucas's hand into her own. Lucas was having a tough time unlocking the door to his room as Rory had his pants unbutton. When he finally got the door opened, he turned around and locked it again and throws Rory on his bed.
Lucas was in his room packing his clothes when his mom walked in and sat down on his bed. Lucas turned around and gave her a small smile and sat down beside her and hugged her.
"When are you coming up to Stars Hollow?"
"Some time next week."
"What still needs to happen to finish the wedding?"
"Rory has to get her dress and then the brides maid dresses, you guys tuxedo order the flowers and get the priest to proceed over the ceremony."
"So what you are tell me we're going to very busy over the next couple of months." They both laughed and Lucas finished packing. Rory walked into his room and laid down on the bed Lucas walked over and sat down beside her.
"Hales and Nathan will be here any minute to take us to the airport."
"Are you going to miss them?"
"Of course I'll miss them but they can come and visit use." Lucas said kissing her and then laying down beside her. Nathan knocked on the door and Lucas answered it.
"You guys ready to get going?" "Yea let use go and say good bye to mom and Keith." Lucas and Rory went and said goodbye to them and they left.
They got to the airport, Lucas had a car waiting for them, and they drove to Stars Hollow. Lorelai walked out and was smiling at Rory who was now confused.
"Why are you smiling like that for?"
"You didn't tell her yet?"
"I wanted you to come along with us." Lorelai was jumping up and down and Rory was just looking at her.
"No more coffee for you today mom." The three got in the car and left when Lucas pulled into a driveway of a house Rory was even more confused.
"Were we at?"
"Look on the mail box Mary." Rory got out of the car, walked over to the mailbox, and read the name Scott on the side. "This is your place?"
"Nope this is our place."
"You bought this place Lucas?" Lucas nodded and Rory walked up on the porch and sat down on the swing. Lucas and Lorelai walked up to her and sat down beside her.
"Are you ready to see our new house?" Lucas asked her and she nodded and he takes her hand and he unlocks the door and Rory walked inside.
"Do you want to see the liberty?" Rory was looking at him and he pointed to the door and Rory ran to the room opening the door and seeing the bookshelves from the ceiling to the floor. "The books are from your grandparents." Lucas said walking behind her and hugging her.
"How did you afford this?"
"This is our wedding present from Janlan. We have to go see him tomorrow for dinner with him and your grandparents. Lets use go up to our room." Lucas took Rory's hand and they walked up the stairs and he opened the door to there room. Rory saw the bed and dresser and the huge walk in closet.
"Your mom decorated all the rooms for use." Lorelai walked in and Rory hugged her crying happy tears.
"Why didn't you tell me about this?"
"Lucas said if I did he would have Luke stop serving me coffee."
"Luke would never agree to do that."
"Yes he did I even said that I would with hold..."
"Do not finish that sentence mom." Rory said pointing her finger at her. Lucas finished showing the house to Rory. Once they was done, the three went to Luke's and got something to eat.
"Did you look at your house?" Luke asked walking over with some coffee.
"You know about this too?"
"Of course everyone in Stars Hollow knew about the new house being built I'm surprised you didn't." "That's way we kept her from the construction site." Lorelai said finishing off her coffee. They ordered there food and after they ate the three went back to the crap shack.
"I can't believe you already got all my things over to the house."
"Luke and I have been busy the last three days."
"I have to go and study I'll see you in the morning mom love yea." Rory kissed her mom's forehead and left. Rory walked into her house and went into the study and started on her work. Around nine, Lucas walked in and handed her some coffee.
"Are you almost done yet?"
"Yea in a couple more pages and I'll be finished."
"You need to call Duke and told them about our marriage so they can change everything."
"How don't you know I'm going to change my last name to Scott?"
"It's fine if you keep Gilmore I'm not saying you have to change your last name or anything." Rory was smiling at him and got up and kissed him.
"You're cute when you babble and I'll call them tomorrow and tell them."
"So you're going to be Lorelai Scott?"
"Of course that name sounds perfect." Rory kissed him again and went to work on her paper and Lucas went to watch NBA playoffs. Rory walked out of the study and sat down beside Lucas and he put his arm around her.
"Does basketball ever end?"
"Nope never." Lucas said not looking at her.
"Is playing in the NBA always been your dream?"
"One of them yea."
"So what are we going to do if you do play in the NBA?"
"What do you mean?" Lucas looked down at her and she looked up.
"I mean you'll be away from me for a while and then we might have to move and how about kids not getting to see there father."
"Slow down Rory first we can live here during the off season, we'll live where ever I play during the season, if and when we have kids I will always make time for them okay they will not grow up like us." Rory smiled at him and kissed him Lucas turned off the game and rolled on top of Rory.
"I'm tired and have school tomorrow Lucas." Lucas put his forehead on hers and kissed her nose.
"I'll be up in a few minutes." Lucas helped Rory up and she went up stairs Lucas looked around the house and smiled and finished watching the game. Lucas walked up and into the bedroom and set the alarm and went to the bathroom and got ready for bed. Lucas walked out and got under the covers and put his arm around Rory who snuggled into him and he went to sleep.
The alarm went off and Lucas got out of bed and turned it off and went and sat back down on the bed to walk Rory up the alarm didn't even stir her. Lucas leaned down and kissed her she was still asleep.
"Come one Rory time to get up." Rory mumbled something and turned over. "Your going to be late to meet your mom for breakfast." Rory turned over and looked at him he leaned down and kissed her. Rory got out of bed and got her clothes and went to shower. When Rory got out and dressed, she walked down stairs and saw Lucas watching SportsCenter he looked and turned off the TV.
"I almost forgot how you look in your school girl uniform Mary." When he said Mary he had a smirk on his face and she smacked in the arm they walked out to the car and went to Luke's to eat. Lorelai was already waiting for them begging Luke for some coffee.
"Hey guys what do you want to eat?"
"Pancakes and bacon and coffee." Rory answered him Luke was looking at her.
"The same as her but no coffee orange juice instead."
"Finally someone who doesn't want coffee." Luke said going to the kitchen to cook them breakfast.
"What is this no coffee thing mister?" Lorelai asked him.
"Sometimes I don't want coffee."
"That's it you can no longer have my first born."
"Damn I'll just have to call Brooke to live with me then." Rory smacked his arm again and Lucas laughed.
"That is the second time you have hit me today Mary. I didn't know you were this violent." Lucas leaned over and kissed her someone was watching from outside they just walked away. After they ate, Lucas was driving Rory to school, which she was protesting all the way.
"Lucas you didn't have to do this I could've taken the bus."
"Like I told you I have to meet with Janlan today then after you get out of school we're going to your grandparent's palace so we can have dinner tonight."
"Your going to work on his car aren't you?"
"I'm going to look at it when we got there I brought clothes to change into before dinner." Lucas pulled into the parking lot and Rory got out as did Lucas he walked over and hugged and kissed her and she went inside.
Lucas went to Janlan's place and rang the doorbell the housekeeper answered the door.
"Master Lucas it's nice to see you again."
"You to Walter is Grandfather here?"
"He's in the study sir I'll tell him you're here."
"That's okay I'll go tell him." Lucas walked over to the study and knocked on the door.
"Come in," Janlan saw it was Lucas and got up from his desk and hugged him. "How have you been Lucas"
"Fine sir how about your self."
"Good where is Rory at school?"
"Yea I just dropped her off and thought since I was here I'd visit." Lucas and Janlan talked about the wedding, his mom, and even the business. Lucas left to pick up Rory from school he was waiting and saw her coming out talking to Paris. When the two got to the car Lucas hugged Rory and kissed her and then hugged Paris.
Luke was cleaning up after the afternoon wave of people was over and thought he saw someone who looked familiar waiting by the bus stop. Luke walked out and saw it was Jess waiting for the bus from Hartford.
"She's not going to be on the bus." Jess jumped and saw it was Luke standing right beside him.
"What are you talking about?"
"Rory won't be on the bus."
"I'm not waiting for Rory."
"She is getting married you know?" Jess had that confused look on his face. "Jess I know you're her for Rory but she is happy and getting married on July 26."
"Who is she marrying bagboy?"
"No her and Dean broke up during Christmas his name is Lucas Scott."
"I've never heard of him."
"He's from Tree Hill North Carolina."
"How did they meet?"
"He went to school with here before moving back home." Jess had the look of a defeated man on his face. "Do you want to spend the night?" Jess nodded and the two went inside and up to the apartment.
"When did he purpose?"
"When Lorelai and Rory went to Tree Hill during her spring break."
"Are you going to the wedding?"
"I'm walking Rory down the aisle." Jess sat down on the bed and pulled out a book and started to read.
Lucas pulled into the Gilmore driveway and saw Richard already had the car out and trying to work on it. Lucas and Rory walked over to him he looked up and smiled.
"Rory Lucas is good to see you guys."
"Thank you for all the books grandpa.."
"It was my pleasure Rory. Your grandmother is out in the garden if you want to go talk to her."
"I'll do that I'll see you guys later." Rory kissed both men and went to change out of her uniform and find Emily. Emily was weeding her garden when she saw Rory walking over to her.
"Hello Rory how was school?"
"School was fine and thank you for the books grandma." Rory hugged Emily and she started to help her.
"It's was our pleasure to help Lucas out with the books." It was about five when Rory and Emily went inside to get ready for Janlan to come over Lucas and Richard was still working on the car Rory walked out and saw Lucas had oil on his shirt.
"Time to get ready for supper."
"I'll be there in a minute." Rory walked back inside and sat down beside her grandmother. Lucas walked down about twenty minutes later in a blue dress shirt and black dress paints and fixing his black tie.
The housekeeper showed Janlan in and he shock Richards hand and kissed Emily on the cheek and hugged Lucas.
"This is Rory, Rory this is Janlan Dugrey." Janlan took Rory's hand and kissed it.
"I've heard a lot about you Rory it is a pleasure to finally meet you."
"The pleasure is all mine sir."
"Call me Janlan please."
"Okay thank you Janlan." The four sat down and ate and talk about business, cars, sports and the wedding.
Lucas and Rory was head for Lorelai's house before they went home they walked into the front door and saw Luke standing there in the kitchen cooking and Lorelai was helping.
"Do you want me to call the fire department now or wait until the house burns down?"
"Very funny child of mine. How was dinner?"
"Great how was your day?"
"Fine."
"What the hell is wrong?"
"What are you talking about?"
"You both are acting weird."
"We are having a guest over for dinner."
"Anyone I know?"
"Not really honey."
"Okay I have to go home and study I'll see you for breakfast."
"Sure honey goodnight." Rory hugged her mom and Luke and then she and Lucas went home.
"Why didn't you tell her about Jess?" Luke asked walking back over to the table. "Because she is happy with Lucas and I don't want to miss that up in front of Lucas. I'll call her tonight and tell her." Jess came over and Lorelai answered the door. "Hi Jess how are you?"
"Fine Lorelai how are you?"
"Good.."
"Can we eat now?"
"Not yet I need to talk to you about Rory. Her relationship with Lucas isn't like the one she had with Dean. She is living with him and you had better not miss with her or Lucas or you will regret it I promise you that. This is not why I had Luke ask you over for I do want to get to know you Jess the real you okay." Jess nodded and the three ate in silence and then Jess left. After helping, Luke clean up Lorelai got the phone and called Rory to tell her about Jess.
"Hello Scott's residence."
"Hello my daughter your name isn't Scott yet. You're still a Gilmore."
"Just trying it out. How does it sound?"

"Did you tell Lucas about Jess?"
"Of course I tell him everything and he tells me everything."
"I just wanted to tell you before breakfast tomorrow?"
"Thank you mom I'll see you in the morning." Rory hung up the phone and walked into the kitchen were Lucas was making coffee.
"Who was on the phone?"
"My mom wanted to talk about something."
"Was it important?"
"No just Lorelai being Lorelai that's all. I'm going to go for a walk before bed."
"I'm going to go and read in the study." Lucas kissed her and they went to do what they were going to do.
Rory walked to the bridge and saw Jess sitting there smoking she walked up to him and sat down.
"Hey"
"Hey"
"So my mom says you're here for good."
"Yep"
"Why did you come back again?"
"Unfinished business."
"Meaning what?"
"Nothing do you want to go grab something to eat."
"No thank you I all ready ate." "With your soon to be husband."
"Yes I had dinner with Lucas."
"You're only eighteen."
"I know how old I am Jess."
"I'm just saying maybe you're a little to young to me marrying a guy you just meet."
"I've known Lucas for three years we went to Chilton together."
"So he is a rich then."
"No he is from Tree Hill North Caroline."
"Then why was he going to Chilton for?"
"I'm not going to tell you his whole story Jess you want to know it then ask him yourself." Rory walked away and went home Jess was just sitting there Dean walked over to him and sat down.
"You're not going to get her."
"We'll see about that."
"Shes not going to leave him for you or me."
"Have you tried anything?"
"Kissing her right in front of him."
"What happened?"
"He punched me then she slapped the hell out of me and went running back to him." Dean was getting up and he remembered something he turned around. "You don't want to get on his bad side take that from someone who knows first hand that water is cold at night. You might get Lucas but not Tristan." Dean walked away and Jess was thanking about what he said.
It was finally graduation from Chilton and Rory and Lorelai was trying to find Rory something to wear. Lucas and Luke was watching television down stairs. After what seemed like hours, the two finally came down stairs and the four left. When they got to Chilton they meet up with Richard, Emily, Sookie, and Jackson and then Rory went to the stage and saw Paris, Louise, and Madeline and they was talking to each other. Headmaster Charleston walked up on the stage and the ceremony started. "I would like to introduce this year's valedictorian Lorelai Gilmore.
Headmaster Charleston, faculty members, fellow students, family and friends, welcome. We never thought this day would come. We prayed for its quick delivery, crossed days off our calendars, counted hours, minutes, and seconds, and now that it's here, I'm sorry it is because it means leaving friends who inspire me and teachers who have been my mentors - so many people who have shaped my life and my fellow students' lives impermeably and forever. I live in two worlds. One is a world of books. I've been a resident of Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha County, hunted the white whale aboard the Pequod, fought alongside Napoleon, sailed a raft with Huck and Jim, committed absurdities with Ignatius J. Reilly, rode a sad train with Anna Karenina, and strolled down Swann's Way. It's a rewarding world, but my second one is by far superior. My second one is populated with characters slightly less eccentric but supremely real, made of flesh and bone, full of love, who are my ultimate inspiration for everything. Richard and Emily Gilmore are kind, decent, unfailingly generous people. They are my twin pillars without whom I could not stand. I am proud to be their grandchild. But my ultimate inspiration comes from my best friend, the dazzling woman from whom I received my name and my life's blood, Lorelai Gilmore. My mother never gave me any idea that I couldn't do whatever I wanted to do or be whomever I wanted to be. She filled our house with love and fun and books and music, unflagging in her efforts to give me role models from Jane Austen to Eudora Welty to Patti Smith. As she guided me through these incredible eighteen years, I don't know if she ever realized that the person I most wanted to be was her. Thank you, Mom. You are my guidepost for everything. As we prepare ourselves today to leave. . . Rory was done with her speech and looked out at her family and smiled and sat down and then the ceremony was over and Rory went and hugged all the people who was there for her. Rory saw Lucas hugged Paris, Louise, and Madeline and after Rory had her moment with her mom her walked over and hugged her and kissed her. Lucas walked into the school and was looking around when he felt someone's arms around him.
"What are you thanking"
"If you told me three years ago that I would've ended up with you after the way we started I would have laughed at them, because that would've meant you actually giving me the time of the day. I hate this place only one good thing ever came from me going here and that was you Mary." Lucas turned around and kissed her he then lightly pushed her into one of the lockers and kissed her again until someone cleared there throat.
"Your mom wants to take some pictures Rory."
"Thank you Paris I'll be there in a minute. What the hell was that for?"
"That is on thing I always wanted to do to you in these halls to you Mary."
"What was the other one?"
"You me in the janitors closet." Lucas walked away before she could hit him and she went to have pictures taken.
"Rory their will be a party at my place eight until when ever if you want to come it's a pool party so bring your bathing suite. You can bring your man with you too if you want too." Madeline said walking away from the two.
"We could go home and get clothes then drive back for dinner at your grandparents then go if you want to." Lucas said going to the car and opening Rory's door.
"Sure why not." They drove to Stars Hollow and got a change of clothes and headed back for Hartford. They ate at Rory's grandparents and around eight they went to Madeline's house.
"You guys made it." Madeline came hugging Rory they found Paris and Louise buy the pool and hugged them.
"Paris we are going shopping sometime next week after Haley and Peyton gets here." Paris rolled her eyes and Lucas laughed at her.
"Can we come with you guys?" Louise asked hoping to have a reason to go shopping.
"Sure if you guys want to I don't care." Both of the girls was happy and went back to the party and the people. Lucas and Rory went to the room where there first kiss happened and they sat down on the piano bench. Lucas leaned over and kissed her softly after he pulled away he smiled.
"How'd you do on that biology test?" Lucas asked and Rory smiled at him "I got a B+"
"Oh man, it's a great party huh"
"Yeah not bad. It gave me a chance to catch up on my reading"
"You are very odd, you know that"
"Thank you"
"Your welcome" Lucas leaned over and kissed her and she put her arms around his neck and he smiled into it after they pulled away he smirked at her. "Is it about time you run off crying Mary."
"I told you me crying had nothing to do with the kiss."
"I know I'm a wonderful kisser."
"There goes the ego again it has to be the room."
"This coming from my future wife in a bathing suit knowing all the guys is staring at her." Rory blushed at his comment.
"They were not staring at me Lucas."
"You're the most beautiful women here Ror they were staring at you."
"Someone a little jealous?"
"Damn right." Lucas kissed her again. "Are you ready to go home?" Rory was about to protest when he nibbled on her ear and kissed her neck and her collarbone.
"Lets go tell Paris then we can leave." Rory found Paris and told her they were leaving.
A/N: People are going to have questions about how Lucas still played basketball for Tree Hill when he was going to Chilton and here is the answer. He was takeing classes at both schools he went to Chilton until basketball season then went back to Tree Hill to play ball and finsh out school. I know that is probily not possible but it's my story and that is how I want it so that is how it is. I know that Lucas's middle name isn't Tristan I put that in to add to the story. Only one chapter is left to go.
