Lorelai slouched on the couch with her eyes glued to the screen, fingering the buttons on the remote at her side. The late nights without Rory made the time so boring. And the house seemed so empty it was almost creepy. But Lorelai was determined not to give in and call Rory. Rory was supposed to be the one missing her, not the other way around. It was almost like she felt like she needed something to be brave for and protect if somebody broke in. No, she couldn't have been thinking that. Kirk was obviously scaring her with his current security theme.

Rory opened the door and yelled the typical, "I'm home!" greeting. Something jumped on her leg, and Rory shrieked, startled. She examined the creature that had scared her. It was a yellow puppy, who wagged its tail now as she pet it.
"Hey little.. Uh, fellow," she said, pausing to check his gender quickly. By this time, Lorelai had reacted to her yell of arrival and had joined Rory and the puppy by the front door. Rory stood up and hugged her mother. They moved to the kitchen and the dog followed faithfully intrigued by the stranger he couldn't recognize, Rory.
"So," asked Rory, "what's his name?"
"Charles," Lorelai answered, "like as in the prince."
"Or Charles Dickens," Rory pointed out. "So who's dog is it?"
Lorelai hesitated. "See, um, that's the thing-"
"Please tell me you're dog sitting."
"Can't do that," Lorelai said with a happy smirk on her face.
"You got a dog? And without consulting me. No pro-con list. We-"
"Actually, there is a pro-con list, which is under many, many dog training books that are on the table."
"We are not animal people! You nearly lost my bird, but then you got a dog without telling me!"
"You cut your hair without telling me, and the bird was two years ago! I've changed. You've changed. We've changed. Everybody's changed!" Lorelai said enthusiastically, trying to get Rory to support the dog idea, or rather, the dog that was right there. "Besides, he's so cute," Lorelai said, pointing to the dog without looking at him.
Rory looked at the dog, who was wetting the couch. "He's going back as soon as I get the chance, and hopefully he won't ruin all the furniture before then."
At the furniture comment, Lorelai realized what the dog was doing and ran towards him, shouting, "No No. Bad doggy! Not inside!" Rory took her stuff to her room.
