*Thank you guys! I love you once again..my faithful reviewers never let me
down and
are always encouraging me..if I didn't have reviewers I don't know how I could go on!
Well this is the last normal chapter (until the epilogue). I have written most of the
epilogue tonight..while I was babysitting! Well I guess I better start now. Review
please.*
Rory threw off her sheet she jumped out of her bed and ran out onto her balcony.
"You..m'am," she called.
An old woman, hurrying home with a large shopping bag full of last minute food
preparations, looked up.
"What day is it?" asked Rory.
"Christmas Day," the elderly woman said irately.
"Whooohooo!" exclaimed Rory, "It's Christmas! I can change!"
The old woman hurried on her way once again, mumbling something about drugs
and their affect on the youth of today.
Rory danced around her room, happy that she was still alive. After a few minutes
of happy dancing to an off key White Christmas, she raced over to the phone out of
breath and dialed the number of Luke's Diner.
"You have reached Luke's," the gruff voice of Luke said over the machine, "I am
either working or not able to answer the phone so leave a message..Beep."
"Luke, hi this is me.it's Rory and I was just thinking that maybe I would take a
trip down to the Hollow for New Years. Well I better be going .Merry Christmas
and you can call me if you want.867-5309-i-ine..I'm just kidding..my number
is 555-7893. Bye Luke and I love you."
Rory hung up the phone slowly and stood crying.
Miles away, Luke was just waking up to his fifth Christmas alone and walked
over to his desk to work on paperwork. To his surprise, he saw the message light
blinking. He played Rory's message five times before he stopped it.
"Thank you Lorelai," said Luke, facing heaven.
After Rory was all cried out, she picked up the phone again.
Bill," she said in her most professional tone, "I need a reeeeally big favor."
An hour later Rory was walking towards Mary's apartment. If she timed it just
right, she could get there and to the office perfectly on time. She rapped on the door and
Mary's husband answered.
"Yes?" he asked.
"My name is Rory Gilmore and."
"So you're Ms. Gilmore. Mary's already left for work.Well I hate to cut this
chat short," he said closing the door.
"No wait! Will you give her this?"
"What is it?" he asked doubtfully, opening the door.
"A ring from Tiffany's.I saw her looking at it and.she wanted it but since
money is so tight, she didn't want to ask so here." she said, thrusting the box at him,
"Give it to her from you."
"Thank you Ms. Gilmore."
"Rory."
"Thanks Rory.I always knew she was exaggerating about you."
"No really, I do have a shitty life and I tried to make hers that way and she does
make really weak coffee.Merry Christmas," Rory said, leaving the building.
"Merry Christmas!" Tom called, "Wait.." he said realizing what she just said.
Rory arrived at the office a few minutes before Mary.
"Good morning Ms. Gilmore," said Mary walking in and doing a double take at
her attire. It was the first time that she had ever seen Ms. Gilmore wear anything besides
a gray, black, or blue business suit. Rory was sitting at her desk wearing a white T-shirt,
jeans, and Chucks.
"What are you doing here?" asked Rory angrily.
"I'm sorry I'm late but.."
"You know what..I don't give a damn.It is Christmas and you should be at
home!"
"What?" asked Mary confused.
"Go home.it's Christmas and you should enjoy yourself.I sure as hell am
going to!"
"Goodbye Ms. Gilmore and thank you!"
"Damnit! It's Rory for Pete's sake!"
"Goodbye Rory."
"Merry Christmas, Mary," said Rory giggling.
"You too."
After closing up the office, Rory left on her most difficult journey of her new life.
She walked to Jess' apartment so she could clear her head and decide on what to say.
When she reached Jess' apartment she was shaking. She lifted her shaking hand to give a
weak knock on the wooden door.
She heard a heavy thud, then a muffled curse and shuffling towards the door.
She took a deep breath as the door started to open.
"Yes?" Jess asked before the door was completely open.
"I'm so sorry," said Rory, "I love you and I understand if you hate me but..."
She was silenced by Jess, kissing her, letting her know that she was truly
forgiven. And she knew then that she had truly and completely changed.
*It is over..almost..what started out as a use for getting rid of writers block on my
other story.*shameless plug* Ress and Jory...turned out to be one of my favorite
stories that I have ever written..please review and remember.you still have the
epilogue to read!*
