A Ride to The Airport
After what was their very last breakfast together at Luke's, for an indeterminate period of time, Rory was ready and very excited to begin the next phase of her life, the journalistic career that she always dreamed of (even if it was working for a small online magazine she still had her journalist credential in her possession).
The drive from Stars Hallow to the New Haven Airport was being painfully silent. The two Gilmore Girls knew that this would the last time that they would be together for a long time, what now seemed an eternity. The Jeep seemed really small for so many feelings. Although she was fighting against the empty-nest emotional state, Lorelai couldn't find her sense of humor. However, she would not miss the last minutes, beside her daughter, silently.
"Rory! Do you want me to share an event, that possible will change my life, with you? Or do you prefer maintaining it in suspense, as an incentive to return home and visit your old and lonely mother?" Lorelai asked with a mocking tone.
"What an unnecessary question mother! Besides that, your advanced age, could mean that, the next time I return home, you already passed away and after a very slow process of decomposition, your remains were vacuum for the Roomba grandma offer you last Christmas, when you so rudely declined her offer to pay you for a maid, that, if you had accepted, may had found you unconscious on your living room floor, called an ambulance, and heroically avoided your sudden death and consequently vacuum." Rory answered quickly and playfully.
"Very funny miss! I think I'm choosing the suspense option." Said Lorelai with a big smile.
"NO! I desperately need some information to keep me entertain in this stupid flight with too many strange people trapped in the same place. Something new about your exciting life may be the perfect thing! Also it will make me think of you for the next couple of hours. Wouldn't you like that guarantee? What do you say mommy?" Rory told Lorelai with the biggest puppy eyes she could make.
"Well, I will give great thought to your kind request during the drive…. Are you hungry? I think I have some Oreos, Twizzlers and Mallomars in my bag." Lorelai asked without thinking how full she was from the previous breakfast.
"Even for someone with an iron stomach as myself, eat anything else after the most diverse breakfast buffet that Luke prepared us, would be an outrage to my wellbeing during the plane trip." Answered Rory with the most disgusting face in the planet. "But I'll accept some Mallomars to take and eat after arriving Ohio" She said smiling.
"Ok! Don't forget to buy some trashy magazines in the airport, it will be very useful to occupy you in the flight. Do you want some money?" Asked Lorelai.
"Do you think I'm unable to buy my own things? But thank you anyway for the offer." Rory said joking.
"I can't believe I'm driving with the radio off! Why didn't you said something to alert me?" Lorelai said very admired with herself.
"That can only mean on thing: your company made the background music irrelevant offering an entertainment of the highest quality." Said Rory with a laugh.
"But I prefer balance that with some music" said Lorelai as she turned the radio on.
"Oh, no! This song again! Is it possible that the radio stations have already substitute the humans for computers, and that now, the music alignment is a stupid programed loop of popular songs? I begin to think it's a real possibility …" Rory said as they listened to the song Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne.
"You know that you still have the power of changing to another station, even though they are now all managed by evil machines called computers" Lorelai answered her with the same joke in mind.
"Now it's pointless, I already know that this song will be stuck in my head for a while."
"Mom you know I'm sad leaving you and the ones I love but I feel my heart full of love. Last night party was really special, I thought that it was impossible to planned and executed something so big and beautiful in so little time, and without your participation. If I forget to call Sookie thanking her idea and all the work, please remind me ASAP." Rory asked her mother.
"Sure sweetie, but…hum… you know… Sookie… Sookie was only responsible for the desserts." Said Lorelai.
"Only? Don't you tell me that you organized all this? That would be physically impossible because you spent the last 72h with your lovely daughter, meaning me! So who helped Sookie?" Rory asked intrigued.
"Well, actually I think the all town, minus us, helped!" Lorelai answered.
"Ok, but who's idea was and who organized all?" asked Rory.
"Well, Rory, who was always there for you in the last decade of your life, never letting you down, feeding you almost every single day, making you chicken soup when you were sick, making you a coffee birthday cake for your 16th anniversary, crying when you graduated, helping you move in to Yale, offering the most disgusting gifts with the biggest smile, trying to protect you from guys…" Lorelai told her with a teary voice.
"Oh no! I can't believe Luke did all that for me, I don't deserve that much work!" said Rory with a low voice.
"Although you deserve all that and much more, looks like it was not only for you, it was for us…. Apparently HE like to see me happy!" Lorelai told Rory with an affectionate tone.
"Ah!?" Rory admiration was massive.
"Sookie confessed that Luke, as soon as I canceled the party, went to her telling that the party was still happening and that he would like her to make all the desserts and keep the party as a surprise, for booth of us. They made a secret town meeting at Miss Patty's. The night before the party, Babette came running telling Luke that it was going to rain and he collected all the raincoats and waterproof things he could find and spent all night making a huge tent." Lorelai explained to Rory.
"Aww! He must really like that two Gilmore girls. But I suspect he has some special feelings for one of them. Is there anything that you're willing to share with your favorite daughter? Anything potentially life altering?" Rory asked at the same time she checked the time.
"My dear, as huge my will of share this with you I'm afraid now is not the time, we just arrive to the airport and we are dangerously close to the departure time of your flight!" Said Lorelai, happy for the timing.
"Save by the clock! But this will not be forgotten, you can't escape my daughter/journalist curiosity… And you know I love long phone calls!" Rory said as she exited the Jeep.
"Come on, I help you with your bags. You shouldn't be taking this many books, it must be unhealthy, at least, for your spine…" Lorelai complained as she lifted one of Rory bags.
"Thank you for the concern but now do your job as a concerned mother and carry my heavy bag to spear me for a while!" Rory said as she picked the remaining things.
After doing the check-in and as they arrived to the last place Lorelai could stay, without a plane ticket, the duo finally said their goodbyes with the tightest hug in the world.
"Have a nice trip sweetie and don't forget to call mommy as soon as you arrive" Lorelai said as she dried a tear.
"Thanks mom, Thank you for everything…." Rory said on the verge of crying.
"Rory, for your entertainment during your trip… Luke was the one who offered me this collar… Last night!" said Lorelai with the biggest smile.
"MOM! You can't let me go only with that tiny piece of information" Rory responded with a frustrated tone.
"By honey, it's time to go, we don't want to leave Mr. Obama waiting for you, you know that he could be our next Mr. President."
And so it was the farewell of the 2, for an unknown period. At least they have the technology for communications.
A/N: I corrected some errors. The storie is still the same.
