The Winds Blow South

A/U If anyone here has read my story One Summer, you might see a reoccurring theme, but don't worry, the stories don't end the same.

"Mom! I'm home. Anyone here?" Rory hollered into her mom's house.

"Rory, my beautiful, way too smart daughter?" Lorelei answered from the kitchen.

Rory walked into the room where her mother was and saw maps, books, and magazines scattered all over the kitchen table and the floor.

"What's all this?" Rory asked, pushing a stand of hair out of her face.

"This." Lorelei said cheerful, moving her hand over all the things. " Is our week."

"Do tell more." Rory asked walking over to her mother and giving her a big hug.

"Since it's just going to be us for the next couple of days, I thought we could do the things we used to do before you went to college and Luke and I got married and had Mischa."

"Aha." Rory nodded, allowing her mother to continue.

"We are going to have a girls only week. We are going to travel to where ever you want," she explained pointing to the maps. "Read whatever we want." Once again pointing to correct object(the books). "And have a fashionable time doing so." Lorelei held out the latest issues of Vogue and Teen Vogue.

Rory smiled at her mother as Lorelei kept rambling on about their "girls only" week.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Rory's mom asked. "Do I have something in my teeth?"

"No mom. I was just thinking about every time I'm about to go crazy, you always come up with this scheme that makes me forget about. Thanks."

"That's what we're here for. Now. How about we go and rent a movie. The notebook? And then The Boogeyman.?"

"Such a wonderful pair, how could anyone say no."

"Ok. You go order pizza or what ever you want and I'll run to the video store." She put on her coat and grabbed her keys and was out of the door.

Movie night was going to be great!

Logan walked over to the hotel elevator and pushed the arrow pointing up. A girl in her late teens walked over and pressed the button again and smiled at him.

"Hey." Logan said, smiling lightly. No girls kept playing over and over in his head but the thin blonde kept replacing it. No girls from the US. BINGO

Movie night was almost over. 2 boxes of pizza were empty and jellybeans were scattered all over the floor- the remains of the food fight Lorelei and Rory had had. The credits rolled on the boogeyman and Rory let out a big yawn.

"Sleepy Rory? College must have done something to you."

"Hey. You just yawned too."

"Fine."

Rory looked over at her mom but didn't say anything.

"Let's talk." Lorelei said, sitting up on the couch.

"I'm scared. I'm terrified. I ruined my life." Rory said in a jumble.

"You have not. It's called a bump. A large bump on the road of life."

"A wall."

"No. A large bump. Everything will work itself out. Trust me. It did for me. Just look at my life. Everything is perfect. I've got a great husband who makes coffee and I've got 2 wonderful daughters. One goes to Yale and is one day going to be president."

Rory pushed her. "What?" Lorelei responded.

"So not going to happen."

"You'll see. But I'm just telling you not to freak out. I've got your back."

Hate me if you want but I just wanted to update. Many people probably won't like it so just don't read. I've got to write my GG fix for the month and no one can stop me. LOL
