Summery: Rory has a daughter in Spring 2008. She is now nine years old. A future fic. (I am bad at summaries!)
Authors Note: Sorry I took a long time, I've been really sick!
Chapter 2- He's back
"Evening burger boy! My usual please!" Nattie said climbing up on her usual stool. The second from the cash register, Lorelai's was the first, Rory's was the third. She banged on the counter with her fists to get attention. "Fill her up, Lukey!"
"I'm not giving coffee to a nine year old."
"Good! You know I hate that stuff! Mint tea, please, herbal if possible, and a cheeseburger. God Lukey, you know what my usual is."
"Okay coming right up."
A few minutes later her food was placed in front of her, "That'll be $4.95 Nat."
"What? I don't usually pay you."
"But this morning you tricked me into giving you ten bucks, hand it over kid."
"Stupid small towns…" Nattie muttered as she gave her grandfather a five spot, "Keep the frickin change."
"Watch your language Missy."
"Ya, ya, ya."
"Hey mom! You seen my cell phone I can't find it anywhere…" Rory said answering her ringing phone.
"Aren't you talking on it?" Lorelai said.
"Oh right, blonde moment sorry, continue."
All of a sudden another voice appeared.
"Mommy, me and Liccy are running away from Shelly, we were bugging him, and we don't know where to hide!"
"Kirsti, I'm on the phone with Rory right now just keep bugging Michel and run."
"Okay mommy," the seven year old said, "Bye Rory!"
"Okay so what did you want, Ror?" Lorelai said after clearing the situation with Kirsten.
"You called me, remember?"
"I did? Oh must have been nothing…"
"Whatever, bye mom."
"Bye."

Just then Nattie ran into Rory and her house. "Hi, mom! Bye, mom!" she said running to her room.
"Hold it Missy," Rory said grabbing her daughter before she ran away.
"Your teacher called…"
"And?"
"And she says you not doing your work and you're failing most of you classes."
"I have two A+'s though!" Nattie said stubbornly.
"In what?"
"Gym and art," Nattie said.
"You could easily ace all your classes."
"But there are better things I could be doing besides school work!"
"As in?"
"Playing soccer or lacrosse, practicing for a field hockey game, helping Nonna at the inn, taste testing for Sookie, helping Lane and Zach think of song ideas, cooking and serving at Lukey's to help Ceaser…"
"You can't blow off homework for that!"
"Homework is stupid and pointless! I can pass a test without it!"
"Well starting now you can't do any of that until your homework is done!"
"But mom! I have field hockey practice after school and when I don't I got to Lukey's!"
"Well now you can't until your homework is done!"
"Well that rule sucks!" Nattie screamed, "I'm going out!"
"Are you done you homework? When will you be back?"
"I didn't have any and none of your business!"
"It's all of my business!"
The little girl stormed away anyway.
It was late at night, Nattie, who was grounded for a month because of:
A: Stealing money/tricking people into giving her money
B: Failing grades/not doing homework
And C: Running off until after dark
She spent a few hours at the bridge, her spot, crying. Sometimes she hated her life. She didn't have a dad, her mom was always ruining her life and she was a trouble maker.
She always had been. Once she was dared to be nice for one day and well, it didn't go so well. She exploded. Right before she went home she wished on the first star that her life was perfect, but that obviously wouldn't come true. She had done it many times before.
Mike, Kirsti, Felicity, and Lorelai were watching 'Gia'. That was one of Nattie's favorites, but she was out hiding and when she got home she was not aloud to watch it.
Luke was at the diner, it was closed and he was just about to leave when the door opened.
"We're closed, can't you read the sign?"
"Hey Uncle Luke…"
