*~Prelude~*
26-year-old Rory Gilmore woke up with the warm sun on her face and the peace of her old room. She loved the fall; it was just warm enough - not too hot, not too cold. She yawned lazily. She loved waking up knowing that the whole day ahead of her was free of work. She had come back to Stars Hollow for vacation for a week.
She got out of bed and put on her fluffy blue slippers. She shuffled out of her room to look for her mom. Instead, she found a note on the kitchen table from Lorelai underneath an empty coffee pot. It read:
Morning Rory!
Did you sleep well? You probably forgot your old bed's feel. I mean you moved out a loooooong time ago. And you hurt Fred (I named the bed.) feelings by forgetting his feel? Anyway, I'm at Luke's. I got tired of waiting for you to wake up and I took Ivy with me to the diner. Get dressed and meet me there!
Luv ya lots! Mom
Rory laughed aloud. It was so like her mother to name inanimate objects. Plus, she could just picture her mother begging Luke for coffee with Ivy in the background quietly drinking orange juice and reading her latest book.
Rory took a shower and put on her robe. She went into her room and put on some comfortable jeans and a red sweater. Then she put on her shoes and walked to Luke's. On the way, she looked around the town. Not much had change. Some new people here and there, a new store selling ceramic unicorns, the like. But basically, it was still the same loony town of Stars Hollow.
Rory opened the door of Luke's diner and surveyed the scene. Kirk was badgering Luke for more coffee, which Luke wouldn't give because Kirk was hogging up a table. At the same time, Taylor was muttering about how Luke was anti-social and didn't participate in town celebrations. And also at the same time, Miss Patty was flirting with a guy she didn't recognize - probably the new guy in town. Rory smiled. Stars Hollow was as nutty as ever.
Rory spotted Lorelai and Ivy sitting at a table near the window. Lorelai was trying to give 6-year-old Ivy some coffee. Ivy kept shaking her head and then she sipped some of her orange juice.
Rory: "Hey Mom; Hi Ivy!" She smiled brightly.
Lorelai: "Hey you!" replied Lorelai
Ivy: "Hi Rory." She said this in a quiet voice. Ivy wasn't like Lorelai or Rory; she was soft-spoken and not as hyper as the other two.
Ivy was Rory's half sister. Seven years ago, Luke finally confessed his true feelings for Lorelai. Lorelai, in response, came out of her denial and said that she also had feelings for him. They went out for a few months and then Luke proposed. He felt that since they had known each other and liked each other for a very long time, why wait? Lorelai said yes without hesitating and they got married six months later. About a year later, Lorelai gave birth to Ivy.
Ivy took after Luke. She ate healthy food and was kind of quiet. I mean, Ivy had friends but she wasn't loud and hyperactive like her mother and her half-sister. At first, Lorelai protested when Luke said that he wanted Ivy to be raised on "healthy food" or, as Lorelai would put it, "yucky food". Luke argued that Lorelai already had a "junkified" daughter already so it was onlky fair that Ivy should be brought up "properly". Lorelai grudgingly agreed so Ivy was raised up "properly". Ivy was also an avid reader like Rory. Rory had spread her love of books to Ivy and as a result, Ivy was constantly reading.
Once in a while, Lorelai would try to give Ivy coffee like earlier. Ivy would not drink the "elixir of life" as Lorelai called it. And because Ivy was such a good, healthy girl, Ivy was daddy's girl. Don't get me wrong, Lorelai loved Ivy very much - it's just that Luke loved Ivy more.
Luke: "Here's your food, girls." He handed Lorelai a plate of buttermilk pancakes, a side of bacon, and some sausages. Ivy got a turkey sandwich with wheat bread and a glass of milk. "I swear, Lorelai, you'll die one day from a clogged up artery because of all this grease you eat everyday."
Lorelai: "Well, at least I'd die a happy woman." She smiled angelically.
Luke: "You're impossible."
Lorelai: "And you love me for it." She kissed Luke on the cheek.
Luke: "Oh hey Rory. When'd you get in here? I didn't see you come in." He was obviously trying to change the topic.
Rory: "I came in a few minutes ago."
Luke: "Okay, so what do you want?"
Rory: "Um. I'll have a cheeseburger, some fries, and lots and lost of coffee please!"
Luke: "What kind of sane person would order a burger and fries in the morning at." Luke looked at the clock on the wall ". 7:23 in the morning?"
Rory: "Whoever said I was sane?"
Luke (talking to Ivy): "I now officially know why I love you best."
Ivy giggled while Lorelai and Rory both said "HEY!" at the same time, in mock anger.
Luke: "You know I'm just kidding. You three are equally the princesses of my life."
Lorelai: "Aw. shucks Luke, I didn't know you could get lovey-dovey!"
Rory snickered.
Luke (gruffly): "Well, don't get used to it." Lorelai and Rory could tell that Luke was pleased though. "Well, I gotta get back to the diner. Lots of PAYING customers to serve."
Lorelai (mock shock): "Are you implying that we don't pay?"
Luke: "You're my family. you're not SUPPOSED to pay."
Lorelai: "But you just said - "
Luke: "Rory, please entertain your mother while I go and serve sane people. But then again, if you're sane, you wouldn't be in Stars Hollow."
Rory (laughing): "Sure will!"
Minutes later, Luke brought Rory her breakfast
Luke: "Here's your food and some coffee." He poured Rory a cup of coffee.
Lorelai: "HEY! How come she gets coffee when she orders and I have to beg for coffee even though I'm your wife! Life isn't fair." She pouted.
Luke points to a sign that reads: "I reserve the right to refuse service to anyone."
Lorelai: "But I'm your wife!"
Luke: "Rory only comes home a few times a year so she only gets "good" coffee, according to you guys, a few times a year."
Lorelai pouted some more.
Luke continued: "Besides, Rory works hard so she deserves a break."
Lorelai: "Are you implying that I don't work hard?"
Luke: "No, I'm saying that Rory works hard comparatively."
Lorelai: "Meanie." She stuck her tongue out.
Luke: "Thanks. I try." And he walked back to the other customers.
To a naïve onlooker, one may have thought that Luke and Lorelai were fighting. However, the citizens of Stars Hollow all knew that they were actually flirting shamelessly.
About half and hour later and 10 cups of coffee later, Lorelai said: "Hey babes, I gotta go take ivy to school and then I have to go to work. So amuse yourself until 3:00 and Ivy should be home by then. You can take her to the park or something k?"
Rory: "Okay." She nodded. And to Ivy: "I look forward to spending time with you, Princess Ivy."
Ivy giggles and Lorelai kissed Rory good-bye.
Rory finished up and walked up to the counter. "Hey Luke?"
Luke (grunt): "Un hunh."
Rory (sweetly): "Do I still have to pay even though I'm related to you?"
Luke grunted.
Rory: "Yay! I'm assuming that means 'no you don't have to pay' in Luke language."
Luke: "Okay. Here, take this." He handed her a package. "I know you'll probably be too lazy to go out of the house for lunch and you got your mom's inability to cook, so I packed a lunch for you for the sake of your health."
Rory: "Aw.. Luke! That's so sweet of you!"
Luke (gruffly): "Well, don't get used to it." Rory could tell he liked her compliment though.
She walked home and changed into more comfortable clothes. She decided to hold a movie day by herself. She decided on comedies and looked in the cabinet for two good ones. She finally decided on "Miss Congeniality" and "Rush Hour". As she rewinded the tapes, she ransacked the kitchen for junk food. She came back with two cans of Pepsi Twist, a bag of BBQ chips, Twizzlers, and the classic popcorn. She said aloud: "What's a movie without popcorn?"
To an ordinary person, he or she probably thought that Rory was setting up the food for five people. But to a person who knew about Gilmore/Danes movie nights, they would have known that Rory could actually eat all of the food.
After watching "Miss Congeniality" and finishing off the junk food, Rory decided that it was time for lunch. She took the care package out of the refrigerator.
When she thought of the words "care package", she immediately thought of Jess, her old boyfriend. A lot of her happiest moments were with Jess.
Forgetting about her lunch, she wanted to look for her old boyfriend boxes. She silently thanked Luke for giving her a care package, which reminded her of Jess, which reminded her of the old boyfriend boxes. She also silently thanked her mother for telling her to keep her boxes because as an adult, she would want them. It was true - Rory DID want them now as an adult.
So she went into her room and looked for the boxes in her closet. She soon found the boxes at the back of the closet underneath a box of her old toys. She took out the three boxes - the Dean box, the Jess box, and the Matt box.
END
AN: Wondering who Matt is? Find out in part 4 when it comes out! (I liked the name Matt since I recently became obsessed Matt Damon
AN2: Sorry about the slowness of my fic. I just don't what to rush it. Form reading a bunch of bad fan fics, I learned that rushing a story totally kills it. The next 3 chapters will probably be about Rory reflecting on her past relationships. And I promise that trory action will come soon! Just be patient and I promise you great things! (isn't that a bible verse or something??) oh and please review/comment on my story so far!! I take constructive criticism, compliments, and ideas! Please review so that I know there are actually people reading my story!!
