Wow! 16 people reviewed the last chapter. That's a lot more than I expected. Thank you so much! Okay so on with the story. Oh yeah here's something that might help you avoid confusion. Starting now I am skipping two months ahead in time.


Chapter 3: Stranger in Stars Hollow

Lorelai and Luke sat on the couch side by side in Lorelai's living room watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. As soon as the Oompa Loompas started singing, Lorelai sang along.

"Will you stop that?"

"Stop what?" Lorelai sang.

"Singing."

"Why don't you like it?" Lorelai said pouting.

"Jeez! Will you stop that?"

"Not until you admit, you love it when I sing."

"Lorelai-"

They both heard a car door slam.

"Who's that?" Luke asked getting up.

"Please don't be my mother. Please don't be my mother." Lorelai prayed as she and Luke walked outside and stood on the porch.

"Well I don't think that's your mother." Luke said as he saw Rory grabbed her bags out of Zach's car.

"Thanks Zach. Say hi to Lane and the boys."

"I will." Zach said as he drove away.

"No hi?" Rory yelled dropping her bags and running to Lorelai.

"Rory!" Lorelai yelled running over to give her a hug. "What are you doing here?"

Lorelai asked confused, as they let go of each other.

"My boss gave me a couple days off and what would I do all alone in Iowa?" Rory said smiling at her mom.

"I like your boss. Tell him I'll thank him later." Lorelai said as she picked up Rory's bags and followed Rory up to the house.

"Lorelai!" Luke warned as he followed the Gilmore Girls back into the house.

"Oh right. Rory tell your boss I'll get back to him." Lorelai said as she put the bags down.

"Mom, my boss is a woman." Rory chuckled.

"Forget I said anything."

Next Morning at Luke's

"I forgot how good Luke's coffee is!" Rory said gulping down her coffee.

"That's not the only thing that's g-" Lorelai was cut off by a "Lorelai!" from Luke who was standing behind the counter pouring them coffee in to-go cups, as they sat at the counter.

"Lucas!" Lorelai said in a mocking tone.

"Aren't you guys going shopping?" Luke asked.

"Are you trying to get rid of your gorgeous girlfriend and her daughter?"

"If I say yes, will you go?"

"You are so-"

"Lorelai!"

"That is getting really old." Lorelai turned to Rory. "Ready to go sweets?"

"Yeah, let's go."

The Gilmore Girls hopped off their stools and grabbed their coffees.

"Bye Lukey!"

"Don't call me that!"

Lorelai smirked and gave him a quick kiss, which didn't go unnoticed by Babette and Miss Patty, who started to cheer. Luke just rolled his eyes at this and walked Lorelai and Rory to the door.

"Bye Luke." Rory said as they walked towards the door.

"At least someone knows my name." Luke mumbled.

Lorelai just smiled at him as they went to the jeep and off to the mall.

In the Jeep

"So you and Luke seem back to normal?" Rory asked on their way to the mall.

"Definitely." Lorelai smiled

"Have you guys talked putting the engagement back on?"

"We have a little bit.."

"And?"

"I don't know. I mean we've only been back together for about 2 months. We don't want to rush into it, again."

"Oh my god!"

"What?!"

"Once you guys get married Jess will be my cousin! I dated my cousin!"

"Well in Egypt they used to marry their brothers and sisters.'

"That was hundreds of years ago." Lorelai smiled and then started to laugh.

"What?"

"You dated your soon-to-be cousin!"

"Stop laughing or you're going to get us killed!"

"At least then I won't be able to marry Luke and then you wouldn't have dated your cousin." Rory said nothing but rolled her eyes and turned to look out the window. "I can't wait to tell Luke." Lorelai said continuing to laugh.

A few hours and many bags later…

Rory and Lorelai walked into the diner one bag in hand.

"What's that?" Luke said walking over to them pointing to the bag in Lorelai's hand then pouring coffee for them.

"A bag." Lorelai answered as she and Rory sat down at a table.

"You went shopping the whole afternoon and only got that?"

"Of course not. The rest is in the car." Rory said smiling drinking her coffee. "I can't believe I've made? it so long, without Luke's coffee."

"So what's it the bag, Lorelai?"

"I don't think it will fit you."

"You bought me something?"

"Well..that's in the car." Lorelai stated grinning which received an eye roll from Luke. "Look what I got for Paul Anka!" Lorelai said excitedly as she reached into the bag and pulled out a doggie size blue baseball cap.

"You didn't!"

"Oh, yes I did!"

"He is not wearing that!"

"I'll bring him by tomorrow wearing it."

"Crazy lady!" Luke yelled back as he walked back into the kitchen.

"I can't wait to show Paul Anka." Lorelai said turning to Rory, who was looking out the window with a shocked expression. "Kid, what is it?" She said trying to figure out what she was looking at.

"I'm not seeing things am I. I mean that's him isn't it?"

"It is, but what is he doing here?" Lorelai questioned.

"I have no idea."

"Oh no. I think he see's us. He's coming over here."

"I never thought I'd see him again." Rory said turning to look at her mom.


Woo! I posted it before 8pm. Sorry I haven't updated in a little while it's not like I have finals or anything. Anyway Cliffhanger :. I don't think I've done that before. And when you find out who it is promise not to kill me I'd like to see the day when they make a Gilmore Girls movie if that ever happens.

Leave reviews to make me feel better considering I have 9 ½ days left of 7th grade. Yeah the funniest part is the teachers trying to scare us saying 8th grade is hard, which is what they said last year about 7th. Enough about me tell me what you thought of the chapter and the story name. It's from the song Hold On by the Jonas Brothers, don't know if you like it, but I really like them.
