The Crap Shack 10:45am

Lorelai walks down the stairs.

Lorelai: Rory? Rory come on wake up!

She walks into Rory's room and sees that its empty, she panics and all sorts of awful scenarios fill her imagination.

Lorelai: (gasps) Oh my God.

She rushes to the phone and dials a number with her whole body shaking with fear.

Luke: Hello?

Lorelai: Luke (forcing back the tears)

Luke: What's up?

Lorelai: It's Rory.

Luke: (concerned) what?

Lorelai: She's not here have you seen her?

Luke: No, Lorelai look just relax, I'm sure she's fine just calm down and ring her cell ok?

Lorelai: I can't relax, I can't calm down my only daughter is missing and she left her damn cell phone here and oh my God. (Lorelai says as she makes Rory's bed and she finds a note.)

Luke: What is it?

Lorelai: (reads the note aloud) Dear Mom, Don't panic, I'm fine. I've just taken a short trip. I can't tell you where now but I'll be home soon to fill you in. There's just something important I had to do. Just go to Luke's get some coffee and pancakes and before you know it I'll be home. Love Rory your favourite daughter.

Luke: Lorelai, oh my God, are you o……

Lorelai: A short trip? Where? Why can't she tell me where she's gone? What could be so important? What is this something she has to do?

Luke: I don't know but she's a responsible kid she'll take care of herself.

Lorelai: How can you be so calm about this?

Luke: You just have to trust her.

Lorelai: Yeah I guess. But…

Lorelai continues to smoothen out the sheets on Rory's bed and plumps up the pillows and under the pillows she finds a book.

Lorelai: Oh my God.

She opens the book and sees the writing in the margins of the book called 'Howl'

Luke: What?

Lorelai: I think I know where she's gone.

She hangs up the phone.

Luke: where? Lorelai? Lorelai?

Luke sighs and hangs up too.

Lorelai sits down on Rory's bed and starts to read 'Howl' and the detailed notes inside.
