Chapter Six – Welcome to Fairytale Land

Luke sighed and went up to the apartment and changed into his only nice dress suit outfit. That would be considered presentable at the school and much to his dismay he put on a tie but again this was Chilton and he wasn't going to have them frowning down on him or on Rory. As he left he told Caesar he was in charge of the diner and headed towards Chilton.

He arrived at Chilton and looked at it. 'It's very off with there heads isn't it?' He though too himself as he walked to the main front building and asked were the headmaster's office would be.

"Uh excuse me." Luke said when he entered the front office and stood in front of the secretary's desk that had a plaque on it that said 'Miss. Simmons'. She looked up at him and waited for him to continue. "I'm here in regards of Rory Gilmore." Luke said and kept himself from rolling his own eyes at how he sounded.

"One moment." Was all the secretary said and went into the headmaster's office and told him that Luke was there and returned to the main office, "Headmaster Charleston will see you now." Luke nodded and headed trough the door and was met by an old man with white hair and a white mustache.

"Mr. Danes I presume?" Headmaster Charleston asked standing up and shaking Luke's hand.

"Yes, uh what is the problem exactly?" Luke asked

"We will get to that in a moment please sit." Charleston said and returned to his desk and Luke sat down in one of the chairs in front of the desk and saw Rory sitting in the other one next to it. He looked at her and she just looked down after giving a very weak smile.

"Ms. Gilmore please excuse up for a moment. Ask for a pass to go and collect your belongings from your locker at this time and see if Miss. Simmons has your homework assignments yet."

"Ok," Rory said she stood up and walked out of the room hoping that Luke wouldn't get yelled at or have him yell at her later.

"Now Mr. Danes you are currently parental guardian of Miss Gilmore now correct?" Charleston asked.

"Um, yes sir Mr. Charleston. Now I was wondering what exactly did Rory do?" Luke said.

"Well first she was late to class and tried sneaking in. Then she talked backed to a teacher, which followed with her yelling at the teacher in front of a whole entire class. We do NOT tolerate that here at Chilton. Now I know the circumstances of what has been going on in Miss Gilmore's home life but that shouldn't be a reason to affect her school life. She has had more than enough time to grieve."

"What did they fight about?"

"Ms. Flint simply said that Miss Gilmore was taking advantage of the situation and that it wouldn't be an excuse for being late to class and she has to do the same amount of homework as everyone else."

"Current situation? Rory hasn't been taking advantage of this so-called situation. Her mother just died less than a month ago that also happened to be her best friend. That girl gets up and comes to school and then comes home does her homework and goes to bed. She has been doing extra credit for a while now and probably doing more work than some of the other students at this school and she had to take the bus to get here she is going to be late a couple times." Luke said slightly raising his voice.

"Mr. Danes there is no need to raise your voice, Miss Gilmore has suspension for the next three day's she will return next Tuesday and hopefully she will be better mannered and on time let's hope. You are dismissed the both of you." Headmaster Charleston said while standing up and opening up the door for Luke who was just silent and walked out of the office.

'God I feel like I'm back in high school. I hated high school.' Luke thought to himself until he saw Rory waiting for him with her book bag filled and a stack of papers in her arms.

When Rory saw Luke walk out of the headmaster's office she hoped and prayed that Luke wasn't mad at her since she had heard him yelling at the headmaster a few minutes earlier. 'Oh man I hope he doesn't hate me or is mad at me I better started explaining, he'll understand. Just one foot in front of the other come on Rory you can do it. Ok good now again just hope he isn't too mad at you.' Rory thought to herself as she headed towards Luke.

"Luke listen I am really really sorry. It's just…" Rory said walking up to him and started to explain.

"Rory why don't you tell me on the way back to the diner since it looks like your going to fall over on your back any minute now ok?" Luke suggested all Rory did was nod and they headed towards Luke's truck in silence.

Luke's Truck (On their way back to Stars Hollow)

They had been driving for a few minutes when Luke finally said, " Ok now why don't you tell me what happened exactly."

Rory sighed and started, "Well I was late for class since there was a lot of traffic so the bus was late. I tried to sneak in but the teacher caught me and started saying how I was talking advantage of my so called, 'situation' she said that I had been given plenty of time to grief and I am suppose to do the same amount of homework as everyone else, which I already am doing plus tons of extra credit work. Then I don't know what I happened I just got really mad and…" Rory continued telling Luke her story and as they reached the diner she finished. "So I called her 'the wicked witch of the east' instead of the west because we live on the east coast. She yelled at me gave me pass and I went to the headmasters office."

Luke just nodded when Rory was finished. "Well Ror, just make sure you do all the work your going to miss and try not to let all of those people with sticks up their asses get to you." Luke said as he stopped the truck on the side of the diner. "You u can help out in the diner if you want to keep ya busy."

"Ok that sound sounds like fun." Rory said as they walked into the diner. "I'm gonna go change and I'll be right now."

"Ok… oh and Rory." Luke started.

"Yeah Luke?" Rory said as she stopped in front the curtain.

"My nephew he is coming today. That's what I was trying to tell you earlier."

"Oh, ok well that's nice." Rory said and went upstairs as soon as she entered her room she changed and then started to make sure nothing of hers that could be embarrassing was around.

New York / Central Bus Station

Liz and Jess were standing next to the where the buses were lined up. They had reached the bus that had 'From New York to Hartford' on it.

"Jess I'm doing this for your own good, you'll thank me for this some day. Now be good and don't try to do anything stupid. I love you honey." Liz said and gave Jess a hug. He just stood still with his arms on his sides.

He didn't look back he stepped on to the bus with his two bags and sat in the very back leaning against the window with his arms crossed and scowl on his face.

'"Last call for bus 115 from New York to Hartford last call!" a voice over the loud speaker in the bus station said and five minutes later the bus was leaving and Jess Mariano was leaving his life that he had lived and heading to the middle of no where.

Stars Hollow

Rory had been helping Luke for about four hours already and Luke made her stop after she continued to serve herself more coffee than the other customers. So she was in her room with her music on while reading.

Luke looked at the clock, 5:00p.m. Jess' bus would be there any minute. "Cesar your in charge." Luke yelled and went to stand in front of one of the few bus stops there was in Stars Hollow.

(On the Bus)

"Stars Hollow, Connecticut" the bus driver yelled loudly for everyone to hear. Jess looked out the window and saw the town. 'It looks like it is out of some fucking fairytale. This is gonna be great.' Jess thought and stood up when the bus stopped he grabbed his bags and got off.

Luke watched as a couple of people got of the bus then he saw a teenager with two bags and a scowl on his face get off. "Jess," Luke asked. Jess nodded and said, "Luke,"

"Welcome to Stars Hollow. Come on." Luke said as they started towards the diner. "This was your uncle's it used to be a hardware store." Luke said when they got into the diner. "And I'll show you were you'll be staying. Now there is something I need to tell you. " Luke said and stopped at the top of the stairs outside of the door that lead to his 'apartment. "My friend, she just passed away a while ago." Luke started and paused then continued, "and she has… had a daughter who is your age so she is living with me at the moment. You'll be sharing a room but you'll have to share my bathroom. Her name is Rory." Luke said and entered the apartment.

'Sharing a room with a girl, maybe this won't be so bad after all.' Jess thought when Luke had told him that. But kept the same expression on his face the whole time.

"This is it. It's small I know. There the kitchen, that's my room, there's the bathroom, here's the living room and right through there is your room." Luke said while pointing to everything. When he pointed to Jess and Rory's room the door was slightly open and they could hear music coming from the room. "Come on." Luke said and led him to the door. He knocked on it and opened it completely.

"Rory," Luke said. Rory looked up and turned the music off and put her book down while standing up. "This is my nephew Jess, Jess this is Rory." Luke said as Jess walked in the room. Rory waved slightly and Jess nodded.

'Yeah this defiantly wasn't gonna be that bad after all.' Jess thought when he saw Rory. She had the bluest eyes he had ever seen and he saw her blush after she noticed she was staring at him. He smirked a little.

'Wow, so that's Luke's nephew He's cute, oh wait stop thinking that. Oh stop looking at him.' Rory thought and blushed when she realized she was staring at him. "Hey, um that's your bed and your side. Oh and welcome to Stars Hollow." Rory said putting apiece of hair behind her ear. She had looked at Jess and she had to admit he was cute and had a nice body from what she could tell.

"Ok well I got to get back to work." Luke said and left the room.

Jess looked around the room. "Someone's hooked on phonics." Jess said looking at all the books.

"Oh yeah I like to read. Do you read?" Rory said

"Not much." Jess said and emptied one of his duffel bags out on his bed.

"I can show you around the town if you want." Rory said attempting again to start a conversation.

"No thanks."

'Ok so much for an easy person to welcome.' Rory thought. "Ok well…uh later." Rory said she grabbed her jacket the book she was reading and left the apartment.

"Hey Luke, I'm gonna go out for a while. If that's ok." Rory said down in the diner.

"Go ahead, so how is he?" Luke said

"Let's just say this is going to be interesting." Rory said and left the diner and headed towards the bridge to read.
