Chapter Seven:

Rory was walking around the Yale campus reflecting on all the times she had there. She couldn't believe that she would be finally graduating in less than an hour. She had waited for this moment for so long but for some reason something just didn't feel right. She would miss this place so much. She had so many amazing memories there and it felt like just yesterday she stepped on the beautiful Yale ground. She walked over to this bench by a tree and sat down. She stayed there just thinking about everything.

She sat there for ten minutes before she got up and went inside to get her cap and gown. When she got there, both her mother and Paris were in the room. "Hi mom, Hi Paris." She hugged her mother. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to see my little graduate of course," she smiled. "How are you feeling?"

"Overwhelmed." She explained. "I can't believe I'm finally graduating!"

"I can't believe it either. It seems as though it was just yesterday when I sent you off to kinder garden. My little girl is growing up!" She pinched her cheeks just like she was a little kid.

Rory was annoyed so she pushed her mother away. "Mom!"

"Sorry. I couldn't resist." Her mother said. Rory rolled her eyes and laughed.

For all of Rory's and her mother's conversation, Paris was trying to find the perfect size for Rory's cap and gown. She was already finished with hers so she thought she could to do the same for Rory as well.

"So Rory, When is Tristan coming?" her mother asked.

"He'll be here in a couple minutes. He said he was going to be here ten minutes before the whole celebration." Rory explained.

Lorelai nodded. "Is he still coming to the big celebration that I'm throwing for you in Stars Hallow?"

"Of course he is."

"I just wasn't sure that he would take the time off from work to come."

"Of course he would. I'm his girlfriend after all, remember." Rory stated.

"Oh I forgot." Her mother responded. "I still can't get over the fact that you are dating Tristan."

Rory rolled her eyes. "Well you better get used to it because everything is going great."

"So you really like him?" her mother asked.

"I actually do. He's so much nicer and he's changed so much. He acts so much differently when I'm with him than he usually does."

"Really?"

"Yeah." Just then Paris finally spoke up.

"So here you are." She handed her her gown. "And here is your cap." She handed her her cap.

"Thank you. Well I guess I should be getting ready. The ceremony is not that far from happening." Her mother nodded and Rory walked over to the changing room. She walked inside and closed the door behind her. She got undressed and changed into the clothes that she picked out for her to wear underneath the gown she was going to wear. She walked out after about minutes. "I'm done. How do I look?" she asked as she walked out of the dressing room.

"You look great Rory." Her mother explained.

"Seriously?" she walked over to the mirror to see if she really did look great. Apparently she was right. "I do don't I?"

"Yes you do and Everyone would be wishing they looked just like you." Her mother laughed and Rory did too. "Lets go, you wouldn't want to be late."

"Yeah we should." They all left and walked towards the auditorium where the ceremony was taking place. Once they got there, they spotted Luke. "Oh there is Luke." Lorelai said and they started to walk towards him. Rory waved at him to show him that they were coming. Before they could get any closer, Paris had stopped them.

"I'll meet you guys later okay. I have to do something. I'll see you after the ceremony." She explained.

"Wait. You're coming to Stars Hallow for the my party right?" Rory asked.

"Of course I am but I really have to go. I'll talk to you later okay. Bye Rory."

"Bye," Rory said and with that Paris was off going who knows where.

When Paris left, they started to walk again. "Hey Rory. Hey Lorelai." Luke said once they reached him.

"Hey Luke." Rory said and they hugged.

"So, how does it feel to be finally graduating?" he asked.

"Scary." She responded.

"I guess that's reasonable. I wouldn't know since I never actually went to a college."

Rory frowned. She didn't know what else to say. "So, when did you get here?" she finally said.

"A couple minutes ago. Your mother said that the ceremony was starting at one and I thought I should come earlier so I could see you before you went off." Luke explained.

She nodded. "Well its good to see you and I'm happy that you could come. It means a lot." She told him. "Well, I should go. The ceremony should start in a few minutes." Both Luke and Lorelai nodded and she started to walk off but before she could, Tristan came up to them.

"Rory!" He called after her and she turned around to see who it was. When she realized who it was, she ran up to him.

"Finally! What took you so long?" she asked as she hugged him and gave him a little peck on the lips.

"I got stuck it traffic." He explained.

She nodded. "Well okay. It doesn't really matter anyways. The only thing that matters is that you are here." She said hugging him again. "But I really have to go. The ceremony should start in like twenty minutes."

"Alright. I'll see you later then?"

"Absolutely." She said then started to leave but before she could, she just remembered something so she stopped and turned around. "Wait, You're coming to Stars Hollow after graduation right?" she asked him.

"Of course I am. I wouldn't miss it." He told her.

"Okay good. I just wanted to make sure." He nodded understandingly. "I'll see you later." He nodded again and she started walking towards the place where they were suppose to meet.

XXX

Everyone was in the auditorium waiting for the graduation to start. All the graduates were sitting in the front row waiting for the principle to call there names or at least tell them that the celebration was going to start.

After about ten minutes, the principle finally came up on the stage . He said that the graduation was going to start. He did a little speech before the Valedictorian came up on stage to also do a speech. When she was done, the principle said some last words then started to call out names of people that should be coming on stage to get their diplomas.

"Lorelai Gilmore." He finally called out. She had been waiting awhile for her name to come up so she was happy. Paris had already been called up and she was sitting with diploma is hand.

She got up and walked on stage. When she looked out to the audience, her own personal "posy" of friends and family were all smiling, crying and waving at her. She smiled and waved back. She shook the principles had and moved the hanging tassel to the other side. She waved again at her family and sat back down. She then waited for the ceremony to be over. She couldn't believe that she finally graduated. She was really happy.
