A/N: I don't own anything related to Gilmore Girls. This story takes place while Lorelai is trying to figure out what to write for Luke's character reference in season 7. It's sort of like an "unseen scene". It's not AU because the events before and after this story remain the same as they were on the show. This is just some extra JavaJunkie fluff! :)
Lorelai sat on her bed with notebook and pencil in hand. Next to her, and scattered around the floor, were cumpled up papers that had been thrown. She would start the character reference, think it sounded stupid, then scribble it out. She would then tear out the page, cumple it, and throw it as far as she could. How could she write an appropriate character reference for Luke Danes? She could not think of anything to write. She was so frustrated. Then she heard knocking at the door. "Coming!" she shouted. She hid her notebook and pencil. Why did she feel the need to hide this from Chris? He was her husband. Her husband. The word made her cringe. The only time she had ever actually pictured herself married was when she was engaged to Luke. And yet here she was...married to Christopher. She ran down the stairs two at a time. Rory had let herself in and was waiting in the kitchen.
"Hey, sweet child of mine" Lorelai greeted her
"Hi, Mom," Rory seemed really chipper
"What makes you so happy?" Lorelai asked suspiciously
"This magazine!" Rory squealed as she flashed it in front of Lorelai. It was one of those silly teen mags that they enjoyed mocking together.
"Who's naked?" Lorelai joked
"No one" Rory was still smiling
"Then why are you so excited about it? I thought you outgrew these things when you graduated high school." Lorelai was a little confused.
"C'mon, Mom" Rory whined. She grabbed Lorelai's wrist and dragged her to the couch. They both sat down, and Rory flipped to page fifty two.
"Top Ten Signs That He's the Perfect Guy" Lorelai read out loud, "Seriously, Rory? You gonna test Logan?"
Rory gasped, "I'd think you would thank me for distracting you from your character reference dilemma!"
"Oh, yes" Lorelai said with mock sincerity, "Thank you, Rory"
Rory giggled, "Please entertain me!" She pouted with puppy dog eyes.
"Fine," Lorelai begrudgingly agreed, "But only if you tell me how Logan scores at the end!"
Rory smiled smugly as she looked back down at the magazine.
