A Gilmore girl RPG.
Editor's note: I don't own the Gilmore Girl story but I do think it is a wonderful show and these are my favorite characters pairings.
Chapter 1
Oh God What Happened
Loralai Gilmore sat up blinking hard trying to focus in on her surroundings. How many drinks had she gone through last night? Twenty? Twenty-five? Now Loralai was not a usual drinker but she did like to drink she never preached against unless her daughter Rory was drinking. But then every mother was protective of her child no matter what age they were at least she assumed. The Vodka was churning in her stomach. She needed Sookie's hangover cure a mix of coffee and something else. As long as coffee was in it.
The room came into focus and Loralai stared at the person lying next to her. It was not Luke last night she and Luke had such a great – no, it couldn't be. Loralai's heart nearly jumped out of her throat. Oh God. She had meant to go back to Luke to explain everything to tell him to make him see he needed her just as much as she needed him. It came flooding back to her. Sobbing as Christopher opened the door. Chris leading her inside. GG waking up and Loralai humming and singing her to back to sleep telling her to never trust a man and his word. Then Loralai turned to Chris's fridge raided until she found his Vodka, which had to be well hidden since GG was into opening bottles these days and drinking from them. Chris trying to get her not to drink but her pouring some down his throat. He looked surprise for a minute and they both got drunk and…Oh god hadn't she learned from the first time?
Loralai stared at the blue walls of the room. Child toys were everywhere carefully trying not to trip on them Loralai got up and tiptoed to the living room where she gathered her clothes. She walked into the bathroom threw them back on and washed her face and hands. Why had Luke refused her? He said okay and he finally had what he wanted where he wanted her and now…It was Anna and April Loralai thought savagely and I threw a birthday party. Okay April had been cute and was not to blame it was Anna damn it her fault and Loralai felt entitled to hate her. She wanted to go and rearranged all the things in that stupid woman's store. She felt tired and sick well coffee and doughnuts would cure her of that.
Loralai walked into Chris's kitchen. She was brewing herself a cup of coffee when she heard GG crying. She walked over into GG's room. "Hey sssh come on now come sit with Aunty Loralai and have a cup of coffee and breakfast with her." GG stopped crying instantly and trailed in after Loralai. Doing much better then her terrible twos days she could still be a handful sometime. They were sharing a laugh and a doughnut when Rory unlocked the front door. "Mom?" Rory called.
Rory walked into the kitchen and saw her mom and GG eating breakfast. "Hey kid take a seat." Loralai said. "What are you doing here?" Rory asked her. "Well if you can believe it I got lost on the way home from Luke's last night and spent the night here." Rory stared at her mother sitting down. "Mom you know the town like the back of your hand. How do you just wind up at dad's place?" Rory demanded. Loralia looked at the back of her hand. "Hey that mole is new. I'm kidding. Look kid sit down never mind you are." "Sit down!" GG commanded. Rory laughed. "What happened?" "Luke won't marry me." "Why not?" "Because he's busy being super dad at the minute. Too busy for a love life. At least with me well maybe Anna will make him happy." "Mom no!" Rory cried. She loved Luke. He had always been around for everything he had liked Loralai from the beginning and now he was out of their lives. "Does this mean your back with Dad?" Rory asked. She wasn't sure how she felt about that her parents sleeping together. Obviously they had to have been when they created her but the thought was just gross and she didn't know if they should be together. "No – "I'm just a friendly shoulder kiddo." Chris came in he was awake and dressed. He had to be in the office at ten.
Loralai gulped. "Chris I'm sorry – "Lor you didn't want to marry me when I asked I can expect no more then friendship from you now. Your still my number one girls though and you too GG. So Rory you ready to take on GG today? Thanks so much! I'm paying her Loralai." Loralai grinned. "Such a business man and woman. Well Rory has a few days off from classes at Yale. But I also want her to spend time with that Huntzburger boy do you hear me?" "Yes dad he still says hello." "Good I am running late so I've got to go. Loralai stop poisoning my girls with coffee." Chris left.
Loralai stood up. "I shouldn't have come here." Rory nodded. "Stay with Logan he's another good boy you don't want to loose. I don't entirely approve but your happy and I'm happy." "Mom will you be okay?" Rory asked her biting her lip. "Look Rory I'm happy I'm free I'm single I get to be maid of honor at you and your best friends wedding its good. Haven't you heard the saying always the bridesmaid never the bride? Look at worst there'll be a town meeting about whose business to choose to shut down and at best there'll be blue and pink ribbons floating around. Don't sweat it kiddo. Bring Logan by tonight ask him to recommend a good coffee house we can't use Luke's anymore." Rory nodded.
Loralai felt worse as she turned into Stars Hallow and drove by Luke's. She felt tears brim to her eyes and she caught his eye. She knew he saw her! She knew it! He turned away though taking another customers order. Her heart burned when she saw it was April. Fortunately the light turned green and she drove back to her house. Luke had moved everything onto the porch. Why hadn't he taken it? Loralai reached for her keys and in the hallway stood Emily Gilmore about to throw another one of Luke's things on the porch.
"Mom!" Loralia cried. "Oh I need your help moving that god awful dresser of Luke's. Your father and I will buy you a new one." "Mom get out!" Loralai snapped. "I'm trying to help you Loralai but as usual your too stubborn to accept it or to see it's okay to accept it. Where were you last night anyways?" Emily asked. "Mother do I always leave a message on my phone machine telling you wear I go. I'm not sixteen anymore mom!" Loralai said. "No but I had to use the spare key to get in and I couldn't reach you because you turned your cell phone off." Emily snapped. "That reminds me I need to find another spot. Luke and I are two adults who will work this out without your help!" Loralai shouted. "There is no need to shout Loralai. This is a man who made a promise to you and he failed to keep it." Emily said. "I know that don't you think I know that? Mother please leave now." Emily nodded. "Fine. If that's the way you feel fine." Emily stormed away and into her car. Loralia could see it as it drove up the street.
She was finishing her mother's work when her door knocked and Babette came inside. "Oh sugar I'm so sorry. Morey and I were rooting for you two to get married. Even the town council men were." "Thanks I'm all right really." "I'll even get a pink ribbon for you honey how'd did it happen?" "He just refused to marry me." Loralai said lamely realizing she had no reason other then her assumptions. "He's a wicked man for leading you on like that. I'll buy you dinner tonight from Luke's so you don't have to go in or have to go forty minutes hunting for a new restaurant." "Rory Logan and I were planning on that." "All right well hon if there's anything at all I can do." Babette left leaving Loralai with a sickening empty feeling.
Logan and Rory were late that evening but Loralai didn't ask them what kept them. Logan looked silently uncomfortable after all Loralai had always given him her honest view of everything every time they met if something happened. Last time he got a lecture about getting drunk and that if he got her daughter drunk, she'd send Luke out to kill him. Sometimes they got along and lately it was more often then not because he hadn't done anything stupid according to her. He had no idea how she'd be after the breakup with Luke. Rory had forewarned him. However, all Loralai said as she got in the car with them, "If you hurt her in any way shape or form or you get her pregnant and leave her I will kill you myself." "Mo-om." Rory said. "I'm done I swear!"
It took them two hours to find a coffee house that Loralai liked that served more than just coffee. It was where Rory had gone to Chilton. "Now I'm going to have to wake up early to get to eat and drive all the way out here to even eat breakfast." Loralai moaned. "Mom maybe Luke won't mind – "I'll mind and there's nowhere else to eat not a good decent breakfast. Al's Pancake World makes everyone sick. Maybe I'll eat at Taylor's and your mother will get fat old and mean and no one will want her then." Rory and Logan shared a look. "Really it's not that bad. If you want I'll drive down to Luke's every morning and buy it for you." "He'll know God he'd better not treat you rude!" Loralai said. "Mom it's Luke." "Anyways Babette's already offered." "Good she's closer." Logan said. "And you've got classes young lady and GG and Chris depend upon you." "Two days a week and GG likes seeing Aunt Loralai." Rory said. "Oh boy. What is this shit? Logan I thought you said this was good." Loralai said. "My dad gave it a review." Logan said shrugging. "He doesn't know what's good for him. He didn't know my precious Rory was good for his son." Loralai said. Rory bit her lip. "He does know and is still begging your forgiveness. I'll drive near Luke's and I'll go pick it up. He doesn't know me." Logan added. "Why not?" "I don't want Luke after him with a baseball bat." "He knows your dating somebody named Logan." Loralai warned as Logan paid the tab and they got into the car. "Yeah well I'll change my name." "To what?" "Luke." Loralai giggled. "I like you." "Ace is your mom drunk?" Logan asked. Rory shrugged. "Hey keep in her good graces."
Logan returned with a bag full of food from Luke's. "I told him my name was Luke and we spent twenty minutes arguing on why I couldn't possibly be named Luke." Logan said. Loralai and Rory giggled. "I'd have loved to see the look on his face." "So why didn't you go in there?" Logan asked confused. "He might throw me out. It was a bad breakup. We were engaged." Loralai began to cry. Logan looked awkward. Rory comforted her mom.
Rory looked at Logan. Her mom was safely upstairs in bed. Luke's stuff they noted was still on the porch. "I'll talk to him." "Um Ace aren't they over?" Logan asked. "Yeah well they were engaged and I want an explanation and uh because isn't good enough. Look I got your dad to come to the hospital didn't I?" Rory asked. "Yes and that was damn brave of you Ace but – "But nothing. Look, my mom is hurt and confused. It crushed me to hear it and I didn't even have time to hurt like my mom." Logan nodded as they drove back to their apartment. "You're the boss Ace."
