For Rory Gilmore, dance was life. She drank it, ate it, breathed it, well you get my point. And now her dream was coming true. She was going to a summer dance school in New York! For three weeks! Yeah, she would miss her Mom, Luke and Lane, maybe even her grandparents. But that wasn't going to stop her. She had searched and searched and searched and this was the greatest school she found. They offered classes in hip hop, jazz, ballet kick, African, and breaking. It was going to be amazing.

The day she left was crazy. Lorelai woke her up at 8:00 in the morning, gave her coffee, let her get ready and then dragged her to Luke's. As they got closer Rory realized that Luke's was packed. It looked as if the whole town was there! They walked in the door and a huge SURPRISE rang out.

"What is all this?!" exclaimed a surprised Rory.

"Well, even though you'll only be gone for three weeks, we'll still miss our town princess. We just wanted to show you how much we all care about you sweetie. We love you so much," said a crying Miss Patty.

"Oh, thank you guys!"

Luke made burgers for them and they were off. The town waved as Rory and Lorelai drove off to the airport. Lorelai dropped Rory off outside the her gate.

"Rory, do you really have ot go? I mean, I could teach you how to dance. I've seen Step Up and You Got Served. I'd be better than any teacher you meet in New York."

"Sorry mom. I'm going. This is going to be an amazing experience for me."

"Can you squeeze me in your suitcase?? I swear I can fit!! I'll just curl up in a little ball. It would be so easy. You won't even know I'm there. Please Rory!! I'll be so bored without you." Lorelai whined.

"No mom. I'm sorry. You could always get Luke to do something with you. You two are like completely in love anyways."

"RORY! Would you please stop with your 'you and luke were meant to be together' crap! We are not meant to be together! He doesn't even like…"

Rory cut Lorelai off, "Mom, you know you are meant to be. And I'm not going to sit here and convince you that it is true. Deep down, you know it is. Anyways, I have to go. Just do me a fovor when you are gone. Do something about your soon-to-be-relationship with Luke. Please?"

"Okay, fine. I'll give it a shot."

"Great! But I really have to go. My plane will be leaving soon. I love you mom."

"I love you too kid. I'll miss yah babe."

"Love you too, mom. I'll call you when I get there."

And with that, mother and daughter hugged; then Rory was off. Sitting beside the window on the plane, Rory watched everything get smaller and smaller. She knew that her trip was going to be fantastic.
