So I've been reading fanfics that had a third Gilmore Girl in them so I thought I'd give it a go myself.

So in this, Lorelai had another girl, Sophie a year after Rory, again with Christopher. Lorelai, Rory and Sophie are all very close. Rory's already started at Chilton and Sophie is at Stars Hollow High, having not wanted to go to Chilton. This will be set in season 1 and will follow their lives through the seasons. Lorelai and Luke are still just friends but that will change! :) I hope you enjoy it! :)

Chapter 1

"Soph, mom, hurry up! We've got to go to Luke's before school. I'm starving!" Rory called upstairs.

"Alright keep your hair on!" Lorelai said coming down the stairs.

"Yeh we've got plenty of time!" Sophie said following her mom down the stairs. "Some people don't want to arrive at school 1 hour early!" She joked.

Rory rolled her eyes. "Come on!"

They all headed to Luke's and sat down at a free table. They were laughing about something Michel had done at the inn.

"Do I even want to know what you three are laughing about?" Luke said coming over to the table.

"Nope!" Rory and Sophie said in unison.

"Michel." Lorelai said at the same time, causing them to dissolve into giggles again.

"Ah geez!" Luke said. "Just order will you!"

"Oh such service!" Lorelai teased.

"Oh Luke! Rory and I are having a joint birthday at the weekend seeing as our birthdays are so close together. Can you come?" Sophie asked.

"Oh yeh, mom is known for her parties!" Rory grinned.

"Yeh please come!" Sophie grinned.

"So long as there isn't a food fight again." Luke said.

"Promise!" Sophie grinned.

"I'll be there. Now order!"

They all gave their orders and went back to their conversation.

"You know there's always a food fight, right girls?" Lorelai said.

"Oh yeh, don't worry! I had my fingers crossed!" Sophie grinned.

"Good girl."

"Oh mom, I might be a bit late back today..." Sophie said.

"And why's that?" Lorelai asked.

"Um well...my PE teacher suggested I try out for this sports team..." Sophie said quietly.

Both Rory and Lorelai burst out laughing.

"Hey!" Sophie said indignantly.

"I can't believe a Gilmore Girl is into sports." Lorelai grinned.

"Moooommm, I'm just trying out. It doesn't mean I will get in." Sophie said. "Anyway it's fun. You two should try it sometime." She said sarcastically.

"What sports team is it?" Rory asked.

"Football." Sophie replied.

Luke then came over with their food orders.

"Luke guess what, I have a daughter who's into sports!" Lorelai joked.

Sophie rolled her eyes.

"Really? A Gilmore Girl likes sports? Well there's a first for everything I guess." He raised his eyebrows.

"Alright as much as I love your mocking, I'm going to take my toast and go." Sophie said. "Coming Rory?"

"Sure, I'll walk with you." Rory said still smirking.

"Bye you two! See you later! Lorelai grinned after them, chuckling.

"So Sophie's into sports?" Luke asked amused.

"Apparently so. Her PE teacher told her she should try out for the football team." Lorelai said.

Luke chuckled. "Well she must be good if the teacher told her to."

"Yeh I guess." Lorelai smiled. "We'll have to wait and see if she gets in. Anyway, I better get to the inn." She said.

After school, Sophie went nervously to the football fields for the tryouts. She didn't really know anyone. None of her friends were into sports. Her teacher spotted her and called her over.

"Right first off, we're going to do drills and then we'll have a mini match at the end." The teacher announced.

Sophie was really getting into and was enjoying it. She'd made a couple of friends as well who were really nice. The teacher blew her whistle, signalling that the tryouts were over.

"Good job girls!" The teacher said. "Go get changed and then I'll let you know who's in."

The girls did and then came back out again. They had a look at the list that the teacher had left. Sophie was ecstatic. She was in, along with the friends she had made.

"Oh my god! I can't believe it!" Sophie grinned.

"Congrats!" A girl, whose name was Alex, smiled at her.

"This is going to be so great!" Ellie, another girl said.

Sophie headed to the diner, really happy. She knew Rory would be there as they normally met there before going to the inn. She ran into the diner nearly knocking Luke over, causing him to nearly drop the plates he was holding.

"Ah geez, Sophie!" He growled.

"Sorry Luke!" Sophie stifled a laugh. She spotted Rory sat doing some homework. "Rory I got in the team!" She grinned sitting down opposite her.

"You did?" Rory said surprised but pleased as well seeing how much it meant to her sister.

"Yeh! It was so much fun! And I met these two girls who were really nice as well!" Sophie babbled excitedly.

Rory couldn't help but smile at her sister's enthusiasm. "Congrats Soph!" She said sincerely.

"Thanks!" Sophie grinned.

Luke then came over to the table. "So are you going to tell me why I nearly got knocked off my feet?" He said pouring her some coffee.

"Sorry Luke." Sophie said sheepishly. "But I got in the team!"

"You did?" Luke said surprised. "Well done! I bet you'll be great!"

Sophie smiled. "Thanks!"

After they had their coffee, they headed to the inn. Lorelai was in the kitchen when Michel walked in. "Your offsprings are here and the younger one is sat in my chair." He said.

Lorelai headed to the reception area. "Hey kids!" She smiled at her daughters giving them both a hug.

"Mom I got in!" Sophie exclaimed.

"Really? Wow well done Soph!" Lorelai said proudly.

"It was so much fun! We have training twice a week and then later on we'll have proper matches!" Sophie beamed.

Lorelai smiled at her enthusiasm. "That sounds great! Make sure you tell me when those matches are!"

"I will." Sophie smiled.

"So how was your day?" Lorelai asked Rory.

"Urghh..." Rory groaned.

"Paris?" Lorelai guessed.

"Yep!" Rory said.

They all laughed and headed home. "Right so this party, you two need to give me a guest list! I mean I know the obvious people but any others?" Lorelai asked as they went into their house.

"Can I invite Dean?" Rory asked.

"Um yeh sure!" Lorelai said.

"Oooh and what about Grandma and Grandpa?" Rory asked.

"Urghh..." Sophie groaned.

"They're our grandparents! They should be here." Rory said.

"I suppose so but you know you're their favourite." Sophie said.

"No I'm not!" Rory said.

Sophie raised her eyebrows.

"Anyway! Anyone you want to invite Soph?" Lorelai said changing the subject.

"Um not really, I mean there are these two girls that I got on with from the tryouts but I don't know whether they'd want to come." She said.

"Well you can invite them and see." Lorelai smiled.

Sophie nodded.

The week went pretty quickly. Friday Night Dinner was uneventful and went without any drama. On Saturday, the girls were out walking to Doose's to get some food for the party the next day when they saw a motorcycle speeding round the square. When it got to them, the driver got off and removed his helmet.

"Dad!" Rory squealed and ran and hugged him.

"Hey kiddo!" He smiled hugging her back, spinning her round.

Sophie stayed next to her mom though. She wasn't as close to her dad. Rory was the more forgiving one but Sophie resented the fact that he was never there.

Christopher looked at her. "Hey Soph." He smiled.

"Hi." Sophie said.

He turned to Lorelai. "Lor.."

"Hey Chris.." Lorelai said. She placed a hand on Sophie's shoulder, knowing how she felt.

"So what are you doing here?" Rory asked excited.

"Well I knew your birthdays were this week so I thought I'd pop by to see my girls." Christopher smiled.

"We're having a party tomorrow! You've got to come!" Rory said.

"I'd love that." He smiled.

Sophie looked at her mom. "I'm going to go to Luke's."

"Ok hon, I'll meet you there." Lorelai said.

Sophie nodded and went off. Christopher sighed watching her.

"Give her time." Lorelai said seeing his face.

He nodded and then handed a helmet to Rory. "Fancy a ride?" He smiled.

"Do I? You bet!" Rory beamed.

"Not so fast!" Lorelai said.

"Mom please!"

Christopher looked at her expectantly. She sighed, looking at her daughter's face. "Fine but be careful!" She said.

Sophie watched from outside Luke's as they sped off across the square. She went into Luke's and sat down at the counter.

"And what's up with you?" Luke said coming over.

"My dad's here..."

"Oh.." Luke said, not knowing what to say. "Isn't that a good thing? He can come to your party."

Sophie sighed. "I guess..Hey you're still coming right?" She asked looking up.

"Sure I am." Luke said.

Sophie smiled and nodded. Lorelai then entered the diner. "Hey sweets!" She smiled.

"Hey mom.."

"I know it's hard but can't you give your dad a chance? He does want to have a relationship with you." She said softly.

"He has a funny way of showing it!" Sophie said. "Whenever he comes, he either tries to get with you or just talks to Rory all the time. He's never made any effort to be in contact with me. Why should I give him a chance?"

Lorelai sighed. "I know hon..but your dad loves you very much. He loves you and Rory equally."

Sophie sighed. "Well I guess it's a first that he's actually come here..."

"Exactly." Lorelai said.

The next day came and the party was in full swing. Their grandparents had just arrived and they introduced them to everyone. Emily and Richard were delighted that Christopher was in town. Sophie and her dad still hadn't talked that much but she was being civil to them. Rory had introduced Dean to him. Sophie was talking to her grandparents and mom when she saw Luke come in.

"Luke!" She smiled and ran over to him. "Thanks for coming!"

"I said I would." He smiled.

Sophie grinned at him. "Oooh come meet my grandparents!" She said dragging him towards them. "Grandma, Grandpa, this is Luke!" She smiled.

"Nice to meet you." Luke said politely.

They nodded at him. "Oh this is for you." He said giving Sophie a wrapped present.

Sophie opened it. "New football boots? Luke, these must have been expensive." She said shocked.

"Well I figured you'd need some good ones for practice and stuff." He said, shrugging it off like it was no big deal.

Sophie beamed and gave him a hug. "Thanks Luke!"

Lorelai smiled at them. Christopher had seen the exchange and had walked over with Rory.

"Hey Luke." Rory smiled.

"Hey Rory!" Luke smiled giving her a present too. It was an old edition of a Jane Austen book. Rory gave him an awkward hug. "Thanks Luke!"

"Football boots eh? What do you need them for?" Christopher said seeing Sophie's present. He didn't like how close she was to this man.

"I'm on the football team." Sophie said, not looking up.

"Oh. Wow! A sporty Gilmore Girl!" He joked.

Emily and Richard had seen the closeness between Sophie and Luke as well and were studying this man intently.

Lorelai could sense Christopher glaring at Luke. "Oh Chris, this is Luke. He owns the diner here." She said.

"Oh really the diner?" Christopher said smugly. "Nice."

Luke nodded at him, giving him acknowledgement. He had heard stories about him so didn't really have a good impression of him.

Just then, music was put on and turned up.

"Come on Soph! Let's show them how it's done!" Rory grinned grabbing her sister's hand.

Sophie grinned and followed Rory to the middle of the room and they started doing the macarena. They soon grabbed their mom to join in and the three of them were making fools of themselves but they didn't care. They were having fun.

Emily and Richard watched bemused. Emily couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy at how close the three of them were.

The rest of the party was great fun. They did end up having a food fight much to Luke's annoyance, but he did join in once Sophie had thrown a cupcake at him.

After the clearing up, only Lorelai, Chris, Rory and Sophie were left.

"That was a great party, Lor." Christopher praised her.

"Thanks."

"Yeh it was amaing mom, thanks!" Rory smiled hugging her. Sophie nodded her agreement.

"So are you having a match sometime soon?" Christopher asked Sophie, trying to get her to converse.

"Yeh next weekend." Sophie said.

"Sounds exciting! Maybe I could come watch some of your training this week and then come to it?" He suggested.

"Sure." Sophie said not sounding overly enthusiastic. "Mom, I'm going to try on the boots Luke got me and go and practice outside." She said getting up.

"Ok hon." Lorelai smiled.

Christopher sighed. "I'm trying Lor..."

"I know. Just give her time. Sophie's stubborn."

He chuckled. "Just like her mom!"

Lorelai rolled her eyes and went to the kitchen to finish the cleaning up.

Hope you enjoyed it! Please please please let me know what you think! :) I want to know if it's worth continuing or not? Thanks! :D
