AN: Ok, so I had this idea, and it wouldn't go away. Anyways, not much really happens in the first chapter. I felt that I really needed to write it this way to set the story up, so everyone wouldn't be utterly confused. This is my first GG & OC crossover. Actually, my first OC fic. Let me know what you think!

Disc:I own very little. My car? I'm making payments. Townhouse? Rented. None of what I do own is in anyway related to GG or the OC.


Chapter 1

"Are you sure this is what you want to do?" Lorelai Gilmore asked her daughter, praying she would say no. She wanted more than anything for Rory to tell her she changed her mind, she wanted to stay in Stars Hollow with her and Max, and be a happy little family. In the back of her mind, she knew it was to no avail, but still, she had to at least try.

Rory nodded sadly at her mother. It wasn't that the past sixteen years hadn't been great, but things were changing. Her mom married Max, and they were starting their own family together. She knew her mom still loved her, but things were different. When her dad told her he settled down in Newport Beach, California, she jumped at the chance to move in with him.

"Mom, it'll be ok. We'll still talk. And I'll come to visit. You need time alone with Max, and I need to see some place other than Stars Hollow." Rory said, hugging her mom one last time.

Lorelai nodded, fighting back tears. "I love you."

"I love you, too. It'll be ok." Rory turned to Max. "Take care of her for me."

He nodded hugging Rory awkwardly. "Be safe."

She smiled. "Bye."

With that, she turned around and walked away, boarding the plane that would take her far, far away from Connecticut. She would miss her mom dearly, but she was excited for a change.

She put her carry on away once she was on the plane, and sat down in her first class seat. Her dad had wanted to make sure she was comfortable. Apparently he finally got his act together and made millions. He decided it was time to settle down and grow up. Once he did that, he visited Rory as often as possible. Once he saw how unhappy Rory was living with Lorelai and Max, he offered to have her move in with him. She happily accepted. Now here she was… changing everything in her life.

-GG-

She walked off the plane four hours later, looking around for her father.

"Ror!" Chris yelled, spotting his daughter.

"Dad!" She ran up to him, and gave him a huge hug.

"I can not tell you how excited I am to have you move in with me." He told her, smiling.

"I'm excited too, dad. This is going to be different… but I think it will be a good different." She told him honestly.

"You have no idea how glad I am to hear you say that. Come on, let's go get your luggage so we can go home." He told her.

-GG-

"Wow."

Chris smiled. "Yeah, it's kinda big…"

Rory raised her eyebrows and looked at her dad. "Kinda? You realize this place is bigger than grandma and grandpas, right? Only way more modern."

He nodded. "Yeah, I just wanted us to live in a good neighborhood. I figured you would visit me out here some… I never imagined you would actually move here. Now I'm really glad I bought a big place."

Rory laughed. "Dad… you realize that this is like, twenty times the size of mom's house, right?"

He nodded. "Come on, I bought you something."

He hurried out of the car, motioning for her to follow him. She laughed, shaking her head.

"Dad, you didn't have to buy me anything." She protested, even though she was excited for a present.

He didn't say anything. He simply opened the garage, showing her a silver Porsche. "I figured you'd need a car."

She looked at her dad, her eyes wide. "What? That's not a car! That's a… a… a lot of money!"

Chris laughed at his daughter. "Rory, it's a good car. Besides, I'm allowed to spoil you. I wasn't exactly around for you a lot before. I never really did the whole spoiling thing. It's time I started."

As much as he hated to admit it, up until now he had been a horrible dad. But times were changing. From here on out, he planned on spoiling his daughter with presents, money, and attention; all were things he had never given her in great supply before now.

Rory looked over at her dad, noticing his now slightly subdued expression. "Don't feel bad, I mean it's not a big de-"

"Rory, I was never there for you before. That changes now." He said firmly, leaving absolutely no room for argument.

As much as Rory wanted to tell him material possessions weren't all that important to her, she realized that allowing her dad to do this for her was even more important to him than it was to her.

She grinned. "Well, in that case, I accept."

"Good." He replied, handing her the keys.

They walked inside the house, and he gave her a tour. When they got to her room, he told her to open the door.

Inside was a giant light colored wood bed, and light blue accessories around the room. There was a book shelf fully stocked with many of the classics.

She walked further inside the room and saw a light colored wood stand of some sort. She opened the doors to find a large tv and dvd player, with a lot of her favorite movies.

"Dad, how?" She asked him, looking around the perfect room, astonished.

He shrugged, smiling at the look of awe on her face. "I wanted you to feel at home."

She smiled. "It's perfect, thanks."

He nodded. "The cook is making dinner, so I'll get your luggage and you can relax or whatever before we eat."

He walked away leaving her to enjoy her new room. He wanted everything to be perfect for his little girl.

-GG-

They were sitting down later that night, eating shrimp pasta.

"This is soooo good." Rory moaned, thoroughly enjoying her pasta.

Chris voiced his agreement. "Yeah, the cook came highly recommended. Now, I want to tell you about what all's going on."

Rory set her fork down and looked at her dad, nodding. "Okay."

"Well, I have a cleaning lady come in three days a week. The cook is here five days a week. I figured on the nights he's off, we could go out or order in." Chris took another bite of pasta before continuing. "Now, you'll be going to school at Harbor High. It came highly recommended by a guy I work with occasionally. I handle some things for his company. Sandy and his wife, Kirsten, have a son, or maybe it's two son's, I can't remember, at Harbor. It's a private school, but it's not as off with their heads as Chilton is."

Rory laughed at this. "Good… I've had enough of gargoyles for a while."

"There are also no uniforms."

"Yes! That's great."

"Yeah, it is, but you might want to go shopping. You have clothes for weather at Connecticut, not California, so that's why I'm giving you this." Chris replied, handing her an envelope.

"What's in it?" She asked, looking at it.

He laughed. "Open it and find out."

She opened the envelope, staring at it's contents in shock. "Dad… this is great, but I don't need-"

"I don't care if you need it or not. I don't even want to say use it wisely. Go out, buy foolish, frivolous things. You deserve it." He told her, cutting off her protests.

"But-" She shook her head, unable to accept so much.

"Rory, take it. Please." Chris told her, looking at her with a hopeful expression.

"You don't have to buy my love." She said to him, looking directly at him.

He looked down. "That's not what I'm trying to do. I just want to make this adjustment easier on you."

"Ok." She told him, pulling out the contents of the manila envelope. "Gas card, American Express, Visa, Checkbook, bank card." She murmured, looking through the different items. "This is overboard." She told him, feeling guilty for accepting so much.

"No Rory, it's not." Chris argued, shaking his head. "Oh, one more thing. Another client of mine, his daughter, is going to take you shopping. Her name is Summer I think. She'll pick you up tomorrow."

Rory smiled, relieved that she wouldn't have to maneuver her way around Newport alone. "Thanks dad."
