Disclaimer: I do not own anyone you read in here that can be recognized from the show Gilmore Girls on the WB. Alex's storyline is all mine.
Rating is because there will be some cursing.
A/N: This idea has been going about in my mind for awhile. I've got most of it worked out in my head but writing it out it doesn't make sense so bare with me. A review about what you think would be very helpful, so I can see what to improve.
Some back round information is:
Alex's full name is Lorelai Alexis Gilmore Mariano. She was put into an orphanage in New York City the day she was born. Her parents were Lorelai Gilmore and Christopher Hayden. Alex was never adopted, but lived in an orphanage her whole life. At 2 she was moved to an orphanage in Alabama. Then, at 10 she was moved back to New York City. She was 10 when she met Jess. At 14 she managed to talk the orphanage's owner into moving her to an orphanage in London. When she was 14 she also added Mariano to her name because Jess and she were and are really close. She goes by Alex Mariano. She became an adult in the eyes of the law at 16 when she graduated high school. Jess was still sent to Stars Hallow at 16 for the same reasons. Once Alex left New York he started to fall into a bad crowd. Jess is one of her few friends that know what her childhood was like. After graduation she moved back to New York and found that Jess had moved. While Alex didn't grow up that badly, she's afraid of love. Also, Rory doesn't exist and Lorelai doesn't live in Stars Hallow. She lives in Hartford.

As I walk into Luke's diner, I catch site of Jess Mariano. My best friend.
I said, "Hey Mariano, get your cute ass off that stool and give me a hug;" in my true New Yorker fashion. I had made sure to keep my accent.
It had been years since I had seen Jess and I missed him greatly.
I could feel every person in the diner's eye on me as Jess drops his book, rushes over to me, and pulls me into a hug.
"Aww, Jess, I didn't know you liked me that much." I said while pulling away.
He quickly shoots back with, "In your dreams."
"Really?" I replied, "I should start paying more attention to my dreams then, shouldn't I?"
We make our way over to the counter and being as he knows me so well, he pours me a cup of coffee; the elixir of life.
While I take a sip Jess says, "So, Lex, what brings you to Hicksville, USA?"
"Well, you see, my bloody best friend happened to move here a little less than a year ago, without telling me, and I felt it would be fun to make his life a living hell. What you think?"
"I think this friend of yours is a jerk and I will gladly beat him up for you." He replied trying to keep from smiling. "Now really, what did you come all the way out here to visit? I mean, I know you've got work, and school must be starting soon too."
Now while they are best friends, contact between them has been almost no existent since she moved.
"Jeez, I think Hell has frozen over, Jess Mariano being thoughtful. Someone call the presses. Now shush up, I want to drink my coffee in peace. Plus I'll explain later."
I take a sip of my coffee while listening to the whispers escalating from the town folk in the diner. My mind starts to wonder off to the day Jess and I met.
-Flashback-
Standing in front of the class I feel very nervous. It's my first day at this new school in the city and a big change from school in Alabama.
Mrs. Applebomb says, "Class, we have a new student. Her name is Lorelai Gilmore." I flinched ever so slightly at that name but I am pretty sure no one noticed. The teacher than turns to me and tells me to tell the class about myself. After all it is 5th grade.
"First off, call me Lorelai one more time and you will regret it. It's Alex. Now where do I sit?"
The look on her face was priceless and the class was laughing.
Mrs. Applebomb replies rather forcefully with, "How dare you come into my classroom and threaten me," sends me a dark glare and continues smugly with, "You can sit next to Jess in the back."
Once the bell rang from lunch, I fallowed everyone into the cafeteria. After I got my food, I sat down at a table which was occupied by one person, Jess, who was reading, and introduced my self.
"Hi, I'm Alex, your Jess right?"
All I got for response was a grunt and that my friends, was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

A/N: Please review and tell me what you think. I'm hoping to get at least 5 reviews. More would be great though. Let me know if you find any mistakes in the tenses or spelling. I like the idea of this story a lot. It's something that has been in my mind for awhile. If you have any questions just ask.
