Lori POV

I woke up and had a moment were I had no idea where I was; then reality hit and all of yesterday's events came into focus. I stretched my back stiff from sleeping on the couch and got up. I looked at the clock it read five thirty am. I tiredly walked toward the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror; I looked terrible. I went into the living room and rummaged through my black duffle bag that had all of my possessions in it. I withdrew my hairbrush, my tooth brush, a pair of black spandex, a black sports bra, and a black tank top. Then I went back into the bathroom and got dressed, brushed my teeth, brushed my hair and put it into high pigtails. I entered the living room again trying to make as little noise as possible because everyone was still asleep. I put my clothes from yesterday beside my bag and then slipped on my black high top converse. I silently opened the door and left the house. I entered the forest on the left side of the house and started stretching. Then I went for a run: I started at the forest and kept running through it until my clock said six thirty, then I circled backward and started running back toward the house. I didn't stop out the house, and instead of passing it I went the opposite way. I was now running on a side walk and I slowed to a walk when I could see Luke's diner. I entered the diner, which was open because it was now eight o'clock. Just as I entered I saw a frowning Laura and Lei getting up to leave for school.

I went over to them, and when they saw me they smiled Laura then said: " We thought something had happened to you or that you had left. I didn't think you had left because all your stuff is still in the living room. Where did you go?"

Me: "I went for a run this morning at about five thirty."

Lei: "Oh, we don't like to run or do athletics are you sure you are our sister?"

Laura: "She obviously is our sister she looks like us. She just grew up differently that's why she's different." Then Laura had a omg look on her face. I turned to see what was up: The bus was honking about to leave. They hurriedly ran to the bus while yelling bye back at me. I smiled after them then went up to the counter and asked a surprised Luke for lemonade.

Luke: "Where did you go this morning?"

Me smiling: "I went for a really long run, I like to always run in the morning."

Luke: "Okay" he looked a little uncomfortable and didn't know what to say next.

So I asked him: " Do you have any other children, not with Lorelei I mean. I know that Rory is from a different dad."

Luke: " Yea one girl freshman in collage. Her name is April."

Me: "Cool does she visit often?"

Luke: "She's coming here for Christmas dinner." I nodded and sipped my lemonade.

Luke: "aren't you supposed to be at school?"

Me: "Yea except the school I was in rolled in is far away."

Luke: "Oh I guess we'll have to enroll you into school here; I'll talk to Lorelei about it later."

Me: " Koolio!" I sat at the diner for a while sipping glass after glass of lemonade when two guys I never thought I'd see again walked by outside. They were twins tall and blond with laughing, obnoxious grins on their faces. I stood up and ran out the diner where I preceded to throw myself at them and give them a jumping hug. They were the banning boys their name were Seth and Sam. They were a grade older than me and used to go to one of my old schools.

Sam: " Either someone has mistaken us for a celebrity or we are being reunited with Lori!"

Me: "What are you guys doing here? I thought you still went to John's boarding school."

Seth: "Got kicked out about a week after you left. Then we went to Hemmerson's boarding school, then Franklin's."

Sam: " Yea but we got kicked out of those to, so they sent us back home to little old Stars Hallow."

Seth: "Yea we start going to Stars Hallow high tomorrow."

I smiled at them as they put their arms around my waist, we started walking down the road, and Seth said: "What are you doing in this little town?"

Me: "I found my real parents finally they're Luke and Lorelei!"

Sam laughing: "It took you long enough."

Seth: "Yea it did, but Lorelei and Luke are good people and their oldest daughter went to Yale."

Me: "I know they seem really nice so far. So what are we going to do today."

Sam and Seth: "Anything you want your our girl."

I just smiled at them and laughed it was going to be a fun day with my friends. It was good that I ran into them because it was making me nervous all the people walking around talking about me and frowning at me, so it was good to know someone.

.…..…..

Gypsy: "Taylor why did you call this emergency town meeting? It was in the middle of my busy hour."

Bebett: "Yea Taylor what's up?"

Taylor: "Silence if you will a be quiet I can discuss a matter that I feel is important to the towns well being."

….Silence….

Taylor: "Thank you, now as you all have probably noticed there is a new girl in Stars Hallow. Does anyone know who she belongs to or is she simply a straggler? Stars Hallow cannot tolerate stragglers."

Miss Patty: "Yes she is Lorelei and Luke's daughter that they didn't know they had."

Bebett: "How did Lorelei not no she had a daughter I mean she kind of had to push it out of her."

Miss Patty: "I heard a phone conversation with Lorelei and her Mother because you know how my phone lines always pick up stuff. Well it turns out Lorelei's mother had told her that the girl had died when she was born, so Lorelei never told Luke about it."

There were tons of WOWS and gasps at this statement.

Taylor: "Okay so she has parents, but I don't think she's good news. I mean have you seen her she wears all that black and those shoes are like nothing i've seen before. She entered Luke's dinner all sweaty and scantily clad. And just before I came here I saw her hanging out with the banning boys."

Miss Patty: "I don't know Taylor I like her shoes and she seems nice to me. I even have her teaching a pointe class on Sunday mornings. She was really sweet when I talked with her and she has done dance all her life. So she dresses different."

Gypsy: "Yea Taylor leave the girl alone."

Taylor: "I'm just saying that someone like her shouldn't be allowed out on the streets what would the people think of the town if they saw someone dressed like her on the streets regardless if she's nice or not."

Bebett: "I think it shows that our town will accept anyone, so leave the poor girl alone Taylor.!."

From the crowd: "Yea Taylor leave her alone. Yea what has she ever done to you? Come on Taylor don't be so judgmental."

Taylor: "Fine the girl can stay meeting adjourned."

…Everyone leaves…
