Rory laughed at her mom, who was making funny faces behind Luke's
back. Luke suddenly turned around and they both stifled giggles when he
looked completely bewildered.
"What's going on?" he asked suspiciously.
"Not right now," Rory said, gulping down the last of her coffee. "My bus is here, you missy," she said, patting Lorelai on the shoulder, "Are going to have to explain yourself." "But.. but.." Lorelai stammered. Rory kissed her mom on the cheek. "See you after school," she said. "Bye Luke." Luke waved at her as she ran out the door.
"Well?" Luke asked in mock indignation. Lorelai pretended to look confused. "What? Me? No. as you know, I would never, ever tease you." She picked up her purse, waved to Luke, and went to work.
Rory got off the bus and went to her lockers to get her books ready for Science class. As much as she wanted to get into Harvard, she hated Science and wanted to get rid of it. "Hey Rory," Paris said. She looked unusually happy. "What is it?" Rory asked immediately. "Guess who asked me out again?" "Jamie? Wow..second time this week, he must really like you," Rory said excitedly. "I guess," Paris blushed.
The day passed quickly for Rory and she headed home. "Hello?" she called out when she went home. "In my room!" Lorelai yelled. Rory wandered into her room. "So, how did it go with Luke?" she asked teasingly. Lorelai stuck her tounge out at her. "Meanie," she said affectionatly. "Proud of it," Rory answered. "So what do you wanna do tonight?" Lorelai thought for a moment. "Let's get a pizza, put a ton of extra cheese on it, gorge ourselfs on ice cream, and rent a really awful movie." Rory smiled at her mom. "Sounds perfect," she said. There was nothing she liked better was to spend quality time with her mom.
An hour later, pizza-fied and movie fied too, they snuggled together on the couch. Rory was getting really sleepy. Lorelai glanced at her and said, "Is it possible that my sixteen year old girl is getting tired at ten o'clock?"
Rory shook her head stubbornly. "Not me," she said. "I could.. I could.." she yawned in the middle of her sentence. Lorelai turned the movie off and walked Rory to her room. "Night love," she said. "Sleep well." "you too Mom. It was fun having you bug Luke." Lorelai winked at her, turned off the light, then went to bed herself.
The next morning, Loreali went into Rory's room and pulled the covers off of her. "Mom!" Rory muttered angrily. "Let me sleep some more.." she begged. Lorelai grinned. "Rise and shine sleepyhead," she said. "Come on, it's seven thirty already."
With that, Rory was up and dressed in ten minutes. "I'll drive you to school today," Lorelai said. "Thank you ,Thank you ,Thank you!" Rory said, exitedly hugging her mother.Now she wouldn't be late. Lorelai was staying home for that day; it was her day off.
"Grab your bag and let's go," Lorelai said, smiling fondly at her daughter.
Twenty minutes later, they arrived at her school. "Thanks mom," Rory said, kissing her mom goodbye. "Bye, sweets." Her mom said. "See you after school?" "Yup," Rory replied. She slammed the door and hurridly ran into school. She arrived late to Science. Her teacher looked at her really strangely. "Sorry!" Rory said as she sat down next to Paris. "So why are you late?" Paris asked. "Blame it on my mom," Rory said cheerfully. She was in a really good mood today.. her mom had started it off by driving her to school. Rory and Paris got started off by doing a dissection. They made a good team, and were done quickly.
Suddenly they heard a weird sound, almost like a gunshot. "But," Rory thought to herself, "It couldn't be a gunshot, right? This school is so safe." Their teacher, Ms.Taylor, turned white. "Everybody, get down under you're seats, NOW!" The students dutfilly obeyed her, getting a bit scared. The noises of the bullets were getting closer.. and closer. until the gunman broke in through the door. The students screamed, and some of the teens started crying. Surpisingly Rory gripped Paris's hand, and turned to her in silent grief. There was nothing anyone could do now.
"I've killed the principal and several of the students. If anyone dares to disobey me, they will get killed to. Understand?" he asked in a menancing tone of voice. "You," he said, referring to Paris and Rory, who were the nearest to him. "Come here." Slowly and shakily they went to him. "You two are my 'hostages.' If your parents pay all of the money I want, you two will be free. If not.." he stroked the gun, which was all that they needed.
He took the two to a spare room, where he locked the door and left. Rory cried silently, while Paris was too shocked to do anything. He came back in half an hour, with a list of all the parent's phone numbers, and dialed Rory's house in front of her. "Miss Gilmore?" he asked. Back at home, Loreali stiffened. "Who is this?" "That's not of a concern. I've got you're daughter in here though. Being held hostage by me." "Let me talk to her," Lorelai said, her voice shaking. "I don't really think that's a good idea," the man said. Lorelai screamed at the man, "LET ME SPEAK TO MY DAUGHTER, DAMMIT!" she started to cry. Amazingly Rory got the phone handed to her. "Mommy?" she asked. "I'm here, baby.. I'm going to get you out, ok? I promise I'll pay all of the money." Lorelai said, still crying. "I love you mom," Rory said, her voice trembling. The phone got ripped out of her hand and the man hung up.
"Not right now," Rory said, gulping down the last of her coffee. "My bus is here, you missy," she said, patting Lorelai on the shoulder, "Are going to have to explain yourself." "But.. but.." Lorelai stammered. Rory kissed her mom on the cheek. "See you after school," she said. "Bye Luke." Luke waved at her as she ran out the door.
