The sunlight was beating down on Rory as she drove home from school. She couldn't help but feel the estactic joy in her stomach for what was to come. It was finally summer break, a time where she didn't have to worry about school, but it was a time to sleep in and catch up on her reading. She already had a list of books to read over the summer. Her list consisted of: Mists of Avalon, The Princess Bride, and Pride and Prejudice. Her list was up to about 30 books so far and she was more than eager to read them all.
She pulled up into the driveway and didn't even make it up the steps when Lorelai came out and pulled her by the arm.
"I need coffee now." She said.
"Circulation is now being cut off." Rory managed to get out through breaths. Lorelai let go and began speed-walking down the street.
"Why the sudden need for coffee?" Rory asked, running to keep up with her.
"Is there ever a reason for it?!" She asked in mock shock. Rory ran in front of her and stopped her with her arms.
"Why? You tell me or I will tell Luke no coffee for you." She said.
"Than you both will die." Lorelai said, giving her a death look. Rory gave her a look back and Lorelai lifted her hands in the air.
"Fine, fine. My dear old lovely mother is making us dress up and eat dinner with some of her snotty old friends. We won't be able to survive. I am going to need more hostages!" She said, looking scared.
"We always dress up." Rory pointed out.
"No….yeah…Fine!! But more so than usual. I'm tempted to wear jeans and a sweatshirt just to see the look on my mom's face." Lorelai said with an evil smile on her face.
"You can't. She'll kick us out." Rory protested.
"Thus the appeal."
"That or she will make you change into one of her outfits."
"Oh the horror! Nevermind." Lorelai said cringing. Rory giggled and they both entered Luke's.
"I have an idea." Lorelai said. Rory looked at her.
"We get Luke to come as a hostage and pretend that we are dating so I don't seem horrid. Then you could bring Dean or Lane and we each have our own hostage." She said, grinning. Rory groaned.
"No way. Dean is working Friday and Lane has to do something with her mom so there is no way that that will work out. Sorry." She said, innocently.
Luke walked by and looked at them. His eyes narrowed as he set their usual order down on the table.
"You two are whispering and look like your planning something. This is never good." He said. Lorelai smiled and leaned towards him.
"Luke, have I mentioned how nice you look tonight?" She said. Luke shook his head.
"No No No. Whatever you want, the answer is no." He said, backing away.
"Oh come on, all you have to do is come to my family dinner Friday, pretend to be my boyfriend and it's fine." She said, starting to beg.
"I have heard too much about these dinners and I am kind of scared to go." He said, walking away.
"You can bring Jess if you want." Rory offered. Lorelai shot her a look but Rory ignored it. At that moment, Jess walked up to them.
"Bring Jess where and do what to him?" He demanded. Lorelai shot him a look.
"A deserted warehouse to dispose of your body." She joked. Rory kicked her from under the table.
"Must be the lack of coffee." Rory said, shooting her mom a look. Lorelai looked at look with puppy dog eyes.
"What do you say Luke? Pretty pretty please." She pleaded. He rolled his eyes and gave a grunt.
"Whatever. Pick me and Jess up at 7." He said.
"It's like a date except we are the guys and it's not going to be fun." Lorelai said to Rory.
"It might not be that bad." Rory pointed out.
"It's dinner with my mother and her friends…it will be bad."

The house seemed to be more intimidating then usual. Lorelai and Rory stopped and stared at it, Jess and Luke behind them.
"Be prepared. Be smart. Oh and be ready to climb out of the nearest window." Lorelai said as they advanced towards the door. It flew open and there stood Emily.
"You're late..and you have guests." She saw Luke and shot Lorelai a smug look, only to receive a dirty look back.
"You all look very nice tonight. Glad to see you dressed up more than usual." Emily said, leading them into the house.
"Wow mom, must be some important guest because I don't see one speck of dust." Lorelai said.
"Please, Lorelai there is never a speck of dust in my house." Jess ran his hand over a table and showed his fingertips to Rory, dust on them.
"Liar." He whispered.
"You should talk." Rory shot back, grinning. They walked into the living room and a familiar voice entered Rory's thoughts.
"Mary. Long time no see." She turned around.
"Tristan..what are you doing here?" She asked, hiding her shock.
"Back for the summer. Miss me?" He asked.
"Cry myself to sleep every night." She said, walking away. Tristan looked over at Jess.
"Tristan." He said, extending his hand.
"Jess." He said back. Tristan shot a look at Rory and leaned against the wall.
"So she dumped bag boy and is going out with you?" He asked, making an assumption. Jess looked over at Rory.
"Yeah, she went for the smarter choice." He lied. Tristan nodded his head slowly and looked away.
~~~
"So..Ms. Gilmore, what do you do for a living?" Mrs. DuGrey asked, taking a sip of her tea.
"Call me Lorelai. Ms. Gilmore makes me sound so old..like I sit around and do nothing. Which I don't. I run the inn in stars hollow." She said, stumbling over words.
"How very..small town like." Mrs. DuGrey said, trying to look interested.
~~
Lorelai bumped into Rory in the hall. They both stared the window that stood in front of them.
"I'm tempted." Lorelai whispered.
"We can't just leave Luke and Jess." Rory protested.
"Good point. My mother might kill them." Lorelai said. Giving each other a defeated look, they retreated back to the party.
