Rory sat at her computer, relaxing after ending her stream and checking her Twitter feed for any new mentions, and she sighed when she went through all of them.

Quite honestly, she had gained quite the following from dating Matt and Seth, and the leap from three to ten thousand in these last four months was just crazy to her.

@royaLrory: all the love

1:43 pm

"You look nice." Matt said as he watched her finish brushing her brown locks. She smiled at him and picked up her phone and adjusted her shirt. "Ready?"

"Yeah, I'm ready. The noodle place right?" They walked downstairs and Rory yelled to her parents that her and Matt were leaving. She hopped in the passenger seat and buckled her seatbelt, the adrenaline from being with him coming to her as they pulled out of her driveway and onto the road. "This isn't your car, is it?"

"Nah, it's Austin's. Said I needed a nice car to pick you up in." She chuckled and shook her head before looking out of the window at the passing cars on the way to their date.

"Thank you, Matt. I had a great time. Tomorrow before we leave for California?"

"Sure. Same time, same place?" He stuffed his hands in his pockets.

"Yeah, that's okay with me. Bye, Matt." She smiled as she slid down the closed door. He made her giddy and left her with butterflies, something she hadn't felt in a long time with him.

"How was it, sweetheart?" Her mom saw her getting up with a grin on her face, brushing her butt to get all of the dirt from the shoes off. "I take it that it was life changing."

"Did you ever feel this way with Dad?" She asked, moving to the kitchen to grab a snack with her mom in tow.

"Always. He never failed to make me fall in love every time I saw him." Rory opened the foil wrapper on the granola bar as her mom sat down at the island and sipped her tea. "I'm sure you feel the same way with Matt."

"Duh, Mom. Matt makes me feel so much better. I missed feeling like this. With Seth I was always so gloomy, you know?" Mrs. Müller nodded. Rory walked out of the room and sighed before peeking her head back into the archway. "Thank you, Mom. I love you."

"So you guys made up?" Magda asked, quickly replying to a text before locking her phone and turning her attention back to her best friend.

"Well not really made up. We were never in a fight."

"Whatever. You get what I mean." Rory fell back on her bed, letting out a heavy sigh and looking at Magda. "Are you back together or what?"

"Not yet. Soon, I hope. Maybe at Champs. You coming?"

"Nah, Rory. I'm not like you, I don't get donations from streaming. I have to work and stuff." Rory nodded. "By the way, I have some exciting news."

"Ooh, what is it?" Magda smiled playfully as Rory propped her head on her hand and shifted her body to face her, ready to hear what Magda was about to say. "What's it about?"

"Me and Marc." Magda smiled. "We're going slow. Like, dating." Rory squealed and hugged her best friend, and pulled away to jump up and down while clapping.

"No way! Oh my God, Mag, I'm so happy for you!"

"Thank you." Rory hugged Magda once more before she pulled away to let her check her phone. "Oh, it's almost dinner. My mom wants me to meet my brother's girlfriend, finally. I'll catch you tomorrow before you stay at the house?"

"Yeah. Love you!" Rory yelled down the steps.

"Love you more, Rors!" Magda shut the door and Rory smiled. Life was good.
