Declaimer: I don't own it, I wish I did, and if I did, it would go a little something like this…
SUMMERY: Something has to spruce up this town, why not a party… and some romantic tension in the air for our favorite couple. LL
INFO: Set near the end of season four… Luke and Lorelai are not together, the dragonfly is already opened… but that isn't important to the story. I got this idea from an episode of Lizzie McGuire, so no copyright intended.
ENJOY!
OoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO
"Rory, common, don't tell me you haven't noticed it." Lorelai said while sitting at a table in Luke's.
"I haven't mom," Rory said truthfully.
"Rory" Lorelai whined, dragging on her daughter's name.
"All my time lately has been devoted to Yale…"
"Letting your mother shrink into oblivion" Lorelai interrupted.
Rory ignored her mother's words and continued, "So I haven't noticed you are turning into the next spinster woman."
"Face it, life has become boring, and you are partly to blame for that missy."
"I'm sorry Mother that I am in collage and I have other things to do than making your life more interesting." Rory said dryly.
"We have to do something to spruce up this sad-depressing-no-action town… and what better way to get ideas than asking the gold medal winner of the sad-depressing-no-action guy, himself." Lorelai said as Luke walked over to the table, pot of coffee in hand.
"Careful or no coffee" Luke said coldly.
"Sorry, lips are sealed." Lorelai said holding out her coffee mug.
"Yah, if only" Luke replied rolling his eyes.
"Hey be careful, or you're not going to be invited to our party" Lorelai said gesturing between herself and Rory.
"What party?" Luke asked
"The one we're planning on having to get us out of the runt we're in" Lorelai said obviously.
"Oh I think I'll recover" Luke said sarcastically.
"Runt WE'RE in? I'm not in a runt, I have a life, thank-you very much" Rory said jokingly.
"Hey, be nice to Mommy, or she wont invite you to her party"
"Mom you don't even know what you're going to do for the party." Rory said matter-of-factly.
"It has to be big, out of this world…" Lorelai said and tapped her finger on her chin, acting like she was deep in thought. "I have an idea"
"Uh oh" Rory and Luke said in unison.
"Remember that really stupid movie we watched last weekend?" Lorelai asked looking at Rory.
"I wasn't home last weekend…"
"Okay, the weekend before that"
"I wasn't home then either, I was stuck at school"
"Okay, this is not the point. One weekend we watched a really stupid movie where they were all British and there was a wedding…" Lorelai said
"Oh yah and then that person was killed" Rory added on.
"Yah, and it took them the whole movie to find out what happened" Lorelai said smiling.
"Yah, what was that movie called again?"
"You're missing the point. Why don't we have a British-wedding-someone-died movie? Title in progress of course."
"You mean like a who-dun it party?"
"Yah, wouldn't that be awesome? We could all dress up and have olden day clothing on…"
"Yah, that would be so much fun!"
Luke slowly backed away.
"Wait a second there buster" Lorelai said pointing at Luke… "You have to come."
"No"
"Please?"
"No"
"Please?"
"No"
"Please?" Lorelai asked adding the puppy dog look.
"Whatever"
"Yah!" Lorelai said and clapped.
"This is going to be so much fun" Rory smiled.
"Let's get party planning"
"Let's go"
They both got up and grabbed their stuff. "Bye Luke" They said in unison.
Luke looked at the table… yet again… the coffee goes un-paid for. He rolled his eyes and helped the next people coming in the door.
OoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO
"The plan," Lorelai started proudly, "We have an over -the-top who-dun-it party."
Sookie looked frustrated, "Like when you notice someone took a piece of your perfect, expensive cake and no one fesses up so you have to go around accusing people trying to find out who did it?" Sookie said pointing her spoon at a random worker in the kitchen, as if accusing him.
"Uh, kind off, but instead someone is killed and you have to find out who did it" Sookie still looked pre-occupied but got the tail end of the conversation.
"Someone was killed? Oh my god, I knew this town was a little boring and we needed some action, but I think killing someone was going a little too far" Sookie said.
"Sookie, no one died."
"So why are we trying to find out who did it, if nothing was done?"
"Okay… no one died, but at my party we are going to pretend someone died"
"Oh like a murder mystery party!" Sookie squealed.
"I know, I have to get back to work, but tomorrow, we draw names!"
OoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO
Lorelai, Rory and Sookie were sitting together at Luke's the next morning.
"Okay, so here are all the names" Lorelai said holding several pieces of folded up papers.
"Okay, we need a hat or something" Sookie said
"Why?" Rory asked. She was a little tired after staying up until one in the morning planning the party.
"You know, to put then names in it so we can draw who's who"
"Right, right" Rory said rubbing her temples.
"Luke Rory is in desperate need of coffee."
Luke came over with his beloved coffee pot.
"Gimme your hat" Lorelai said holding her hand out.
"No" Lorelai rolled her eyes; she was also a little tired. She simply got up and walked over to him, pulling the hat off his head.
"Okay, first… Rory, draw" Rory pulled a name out of the hat, and read it.
"Esme Upshaw, comforting guest" Rory nodded
"Sookie…" Sookie pulled out the next name,
"Fiona St. John, cool, same last name as me, falls in love with Guy Gaviotta… oh, intrigue"
"Okay, Luke, your turn" Lorelai smiled, Luke sighed and pulled out a piece of paper,
"Penelope Featherstone" Lorelai giggled
"Okay, pull out a different one" She laughed.
"Aubrey Carstairs"
"Cool you're really smart in this."
"Yippy" He replied sarcastically.
"Okay me!" Lorelai pulled out the first paper she felt, and proudly read the name "Penelope Featherstone…cool! I get married!"
"That leaves… "Lorelai started, as she said a name of a guest and pulled out their character. "Jackson – Guy Gaviotta, cool, him and Fiona St. John fall in love!" She said wiggling her eyebrows at Sookie. "Babbette – The maid, Morey – Lord McGuffin, and Kirk as Clyde McGuffin… ewe, I have to get married to Kirk!"
OoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO
It was going to be a one-shot, but I'm so tired, and I have school tomorrow… so I'll update soon with the next chapter…
THE PARTY.
MEGGAN.
