(I know in the show that Rory hooked up with Dean but I'm going to have it so it
happened but sooner and he jump with the Life and Death Brigade already happened.)
Rory had never been so happy to be going to Luke's as she was. October tests had just
ended and her wits were completely shot. Even though she was sure she had done well
there was still the nagging tone in the back of her head that she could have done better.
With a sigh of relief she pulled up to Luke's and quickly turning off her care she
practically ran into Luke's. As she hit the door she stopped for a moment to watch
as her mother flirted with look and him half glaring/smiling argue over something stupid. It
was good to be home one of the few places were she felt she could fully be herself. Then
Lorelei noticed her daughter was standing in the door way and practically skipped over
to her.
"Hey hey how's my favorite daughter" Lorelei said with a goofy grin on her face
"Well A. I'm your only daughter and B. Luke did you give her too much coffee again"
Rory said arching a eye brow at her mother then throwing a quick glare at Luke.
" Hey it wasn't me she snuck 3 cups while I was upstairs" Luke said putting his hands up
in surrender
" You two are mean" Lorelei said pouting
" O yes so mean" Rory said rolling her eye's. Yup it was good to be home was all she
thought.
"Ok no more coffee for you" Luke said pulling Lorelei 's cup of coffee away from her
causing puppy dog eyes to be added to the pout.
" You two are conspiring against me" Lorelei said in a pretend paranoid tone
" Yup" Rory and Luke said both rolling their eyes
" Ok that was a little freaky" Lorelei said
Ignoring her Luke turned to Rory to take her order.
" So what can I get for you" He asked
" Umm Coffee lots of sugar ,burger and fries and a big chocolate Sunday" Rory said
Both Luke's and Lorelei's mouths dropped. But not even saying anything Luke headed
to the kitchen to start the order which Rory was thankful for because if not she thought
she could have eaten a Elephant.
" Those tests got to you huh" Lorelei asked
"Yeah" Rory said with a sigh
" So Halloweens next week you going to come home for the usual Stars Hallow bash"
Lorelei asked
"Sorry mom I can't I got a letter for a special trip that is like 2 days after and It's
mandatory and I wouldn't have the time to be here an then go back in time " Rory said
feeling guilty because this would be the first Halloween Bash she had missed in 19 years.
" Hey no problem doll but I'm going to miss you I mean it's not going to be the same
and I had finally hadjust talked Luke into being Sexy Peter Pan, me as Tinker bell and
you as Wendy" Lorelei said
"Next year" Rory said with a smile imagining Her mother in a short green dress an Luke
in Green Tights.
"So are you doing anything special" Lorelei asked
" Ordering junk food and watching a bunch of movies all while in my bunny pajamas and
white fluffy slipper" Rory said
"That my girl when nothing better eat and watch corny movies" Lorelei said with a smile
" Foods ready" Luke said bringing out the coffee burger and fries
" My my now weren't we quick" Lorelei said in a southern accent
" Well I know Rory very well and after tests she always hungry like enough to eat an
Elephant" Luke said
Rory had looked at him in astonishment how had he known that's exactly how she felt.
Yup she wouldn't mind having Luke in her mom's future.
" Man Luke you were reading my mind how did you do it" Rory asked
"Because I know you and you habits" Luke stated gruffly blushing a little
" Aw Luke you big old softy" Rory said reaching over and giving Luke a hug an
surprisingly it wasn't weird at all she didn't how ever miss the strange twinkle in her
mothers eye as hugged him.
The rest of that night was spent in a peaceful time of play arguing , way too much coffee
and the love of her family Man it was good too be home.
It seemed the two days she was home was completely bliss and in no way did Rory
want to return to school but she knew that she eventually had to so grudgingly she said
good bye to her mother and Luke on sunday and headed back to school.
