Flight Attendant: Thank you for choosing North Bond please come again.

Rory gets up and grabs her bag and heads for the exit. She heads for security, and doesn’t see her mom, she looks around, and then looks at her phone, she assumes that her mom is running late. She knows the bags wont be in intil another 45 minutes or so, since it is such a small airport, So she heads to a simple little cocktail bar. She takes a seat at the bar and looks around, she notice’s that everyone seems to be around 20 years older than her.

Lorelai: okay, before we go home, I have to ask you a question, and I want you to tell me okay?

Rory: okay fine, whats the question?

Lorelai: what are you going to do with all the money?

Rory sighs.

Rory: mom, I thought you said you knew.

Lorelai: I still do know, but do you know?

Rory: I don’t really have any idea what that means.

Lorelai: it means that, yes I know, and you may think you know, but will you admit that you are going to take a risk?

Rory: what kind of risk?

Lorelai: that’s something you have to find out for on your own. But what are you going to do with all that money?

Rory: I’m going to…… I’m going to open my own business.

Lorelai: see there you go, that’s what I was looking for.

Rory and Lorelai laugh.

***************

Kirk is moving chairs around to make room for more people. People are chatting loudly!

Kirk is fretting, and takes place behind the desk:

Kirk: Keep silent please…

No one pays attention, but Kirk continues to talk.

Kirk: all of us know what the best for our town is! I’ve lived here for years, and so has Lulu All decision we do can affect the way we live, the price of shoes. The price of gas may never come down again but, what I think is…

Taylor: Yes, I know what you think.

Kirk: But…

Taylor: Yes, you can go to your seat!

Taylor: As you know we are here to discus a very big issue…

Suddenly, he frowns, for there are three more arrivals, three guests that were not invited indeed. Luke and Lorelai, however, sit discreetly at the far end of the room, but Rory crosses it entirely and sits at the front row.

Taylor: What on Earth are you doing here?

Rory with a mischief smile: I’m a journalist, you know! And when a so much big issue is concerned, I must take note and inform all the inhabitants of Stars Hollows what it is all about!

Taylor: But it’s preposterous; you cannot do that to me!

Rory: Of course, I’m not. I’m doing it to the Stars Hollow!

Kirk: But you can’t!

Miss Patty: Shut up Kirk, Go on honey!

Taylor: But she’s the issue! She cannot write about herself!

Rory: It’s beginning to get interesting

She jots down a few notes.

Taylor: What are you writing down?

Rory: You’ll read it at the News Paper tomorrow! If I say it now, what will be the point to publish a paper?

Taylor: But that’s impossible!

Rory: Why?

Taylor: Because we haven’t discuss the matter!

Rory: What matter?

Taylor: Your journal things, here in Stars Hollow!

Rory: Yes, so what! All that will be discussed tonight will be written down, and at the disposal of reader tomorrow. Thats why I’m here!

Taylor: But I’m the Mayor of the town, young lady, and as the Mayor of the town, I haven’t given you all the authorizations for…

Rory: So you have changed the constitution, the right of the press, the right to write everything…

Taylor: Don’t play funny words with me, young lady!

Rory: Yes that what I’m saying. That was very funny when you made Kirk destroy Luke’s cantina. You put everyone before the fait accompli. You decided something, and consulted no one for that! You made the whole population in danger… Someone could have been killed! That’s the reason for the forth power, the power of the press, to say everything in order to prevent despotism acting… So now, we can begin the talking…

Lorelai: That’s my girl! The defender of the poor, and the oppressed, and the destroyed dinners…

As Rory was speaking Taylor’s face turned many colors. But as soon as Lorelai said the last words Taylor’s face turned bright red. But he went on with other matters.

***************

Rory picks up her phone to dial.

Rory: Logan?

Logan: Rory?

Rory: yeah sorry, you just sound so different.

Logan: oh.

Rory: well I was calling to find out where you wanted to have dinner tomorrow?

Logan: oh well, I’m sorry to tell you this, but I’m back in L.A.

Rory: what?

Logan: after I told you that I wanted together to have dinner with you…..

Rory: yeah?

Logan: my dad called and said I needed to come back for an important meeting that was mandatory.

Rory: oh okay.

Logan: I’m sorry.

Rory: no it’s okay I understand.

Logan: well I probably should go.

Rory: oh okay, well can yo….

Logan: hey I got to go.

Rory: oh bye.

Logan: bye.

Rory hangs up her phone. She looks around her room. She can’t believe it.

She lays down on her bed, a tear rolls down her face.

***************

Lorelai runs and jumps on Rory’s bed followed by Paul Anka.

Lorelai: good morning Sunshine.

Rory turns over to look at her clock it says 7:45 a.m.

Lorelai: so I was thinking that today we could…..go looks for a place for your new office. Then I would leave you girls to go do some stuff, plus I have to go work sometime. How’s that sound?

Rory: wait a minute what girls?

Lorelai: well you.

Rory: okay?

Lorelai: Lane….

Rory: and?

Lorelai: Paris!

Rory: what Paris is here?

Lorelai: yeah I told her to come in last night when you announced your paper!

Rory: but still that doesn’t mean she could be here!

Paris: yes it does.

Paris walks into Rory’s room.

Rory gets up and hugs Paris.

Paris: I can’t believe you didn’t tell me what you we’re going to do with all that money.

Rory: I’m sorry.

Paris: it is fine, but we are going to have to go find you an office, plus me your co-writer.

Rory: wait a minute how did you know I was going to ask you?

Paris: cause you told me on the phone that you would tell me when you we’re ready for my part and I just assumed, that you we’re ready.

Rory: okay I’m ready. But what about school?

Paris: well my mom and dad only pay by the semester, and the end of a semester is coming up, so I will just talk to them and they should be okay, cause they have to be sick of paying.

Rory: are you sure?

Paris: yeah.

Rory: okay.

Paris: but you will only have to do the business for a little bit.

Rory: okay.

Paris: plus if you need me to fly out here, I can fly anytime.

Rory: okay, but what are you going to do about after school? Where are you going to live?

Paris: I can look for a house out here.

Rory: okay this is going to work.

Paris: of course it is going to work. Why wouldn’t it?
