So because I am currently doing two stories at the same time, I'm going to make a plan. Okay, for the New Year, one of my goals is to get more organized, so I bought a day timer, and I'm writing out a schedule (mainly a study schedule because exams are coming up) and everyday, for an hour, I have write fan fiction… so, I'm going to go back and fourth each day, today I'm going to write for this story, and tomorrow my other story. That's my goal anyways.

I hope everyone had a good holiday so far! Mine's been fun, I love nothing more than sleeping in and eating all day… pretty sweet. I've also spent my days mainly watching Gilmore Girls… OLD seasons, where Luke and Lorelai are happy, and Rory is RORY, and the episodes are funny and you can watch them OVER and OVER again, and they're still funny.

OH yeah… I got a t-shirt for Christmas that says: "Kirk is my hero," … this adds to my collection of Gilmore Girls t-shirts: "Luke's Diner" and "I don't suffer from addiction to the Gilmore Girls, I enjoy every minute of it"

I'm not weird… right? (It's funny I have to convince myself of this)

Okay on with the story! Read and review please! The more reviews I have the better I write (in my humble opinion) Wink, wink, nudge, nudge

MEGGAN.

The Parties Of All Parties

Wanting YOUR Attention

Lorelai wasn't expecting to have this much fun at the party. Sure, Kirk's mother constantly asking when Lorelai was moving in, and Lorelai was REALLY bad at detective games, but she was having a blast.

The party (investigation) had been going on for about two hours now, apparently Rory's Yale standards were too much for the town of Stars Hollow to handle.

"You're really getting into this," Rory said as she followed her mother around the living room.

"You can't help me…" Lorelai said as she looked behind a pillow.

"I wasn't, I'm just saying I've never seen you so competitive before" Rory said.

"Do we have to recall a certain yoga incident six years ago?" Lorelai said.

"Well I guess not"

"Or the time you and me were having a cheese burger-eating contest"

"You ate seven cheeseburgers, even after eating lunch, I remember" Rory said.

"…and then I proceeded to mock you for the next two days because you only ate four, and threw up for an hour afterwards" Lorelai said.

"Okay, you've made your point, you can be competitive to" Rory said rolling her eyes, "Although, not to scare you or anything, but Luke is kicking your butt"

"What?" Lorelai said and looked up. Luke, the Luke who has just been wandering for the last hour, looking bored out of his mind had just found a clue.

"Not fair" Lorelai said and left Rory sitting on the couch, while she went over to Luke who was looking at the piece of paper in his hand, he pulled out of the bookcase. "So much for not getting into the game"

"I'm not getting into this loony game, I just found a clue" Luke replied.

"…A clue that will help you WIN the game"

"So what?" Luke replied and read the piece of paper out loud.

"Looks like the maid was going to run" Luke said and showed Lorelai the boat ticket.

"So much for not wanting to be here…" Lorelai mumbled under her breath.

"You invited me, I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do, I'm finding the clues" Luke snapped back at her.

"Fine" Lorelai said and walked outside to get a breath of fresh air.

Why was Luke being so competitive? It's not like we're giving out a really good prize or something. I wanted to win, I wanted to get all the glory… not like I wanted attention, or did I? It would be nice, but instead Luke was going to get all the attention, all eyes on him, instead of his eyes on her… not that she wanted his attention, or did she.

"Oh man" Lorelai mumbled, this was getting way too confusing.

"What's wrong hun?" Sookie asked almost making Lorelai have a heart attack.

"I didn't know you guys were there!" Lorelai said with a hand over where her heart is. Sookie and Jackson were sitting on the porch swing talking, which was kind of cute, especially because the two characters that they play always end up together in the end.

"And nothings wrong, my years of reading Nancy Drew was all a waist of time apparently" Lorelai said and walked back into the house where she almost ran into Rory.

"Hey, find any other clues?" Rory asked.

"Nope, Luke's gonna win anyways, so it doesn't matter"

"Why do you care so much if he wins. Mom?" Rory asked.

"I don't know, it's my party, shouldn't I win?" Lorelai whined.

"You just want the attention" Rory smiled, "from Luke"

"No" Lorelai said shaking her head, "No, I don't, I don't" She repeated, as if trying to convince herself.

"Why can't you see that Luke is trying to win to get attention too"?

"Why would Luke want attention, he doesn't even like the people here"

"Yeah, except one person, and maybe that one person, he wants attention from" Rory said.

"Please tell me what you are talking about" Lorelai said.

"He likes you Mom, he wants to win so he can have your attention"

"Rory" Lorelai whined.

"The whole town can see it, everyone, everyone that is, except YOU." Rory said.

Lorelai looked at the ground and was about to speak when…

"Rory, Luke said he knows the person who did it" Babbette said and disappeared back into the living room.

"Yippy" Lorelai said sarcastically and walked back into the living room.

He CAN'T like me… right? It's just Luke, he's never looked at me that way, sure we flirt, but as friends… right? Can you just be friends and flirt? Sure you can… right? This is getting too complicated.

Luke, who really just wanted to go home, was ready to announce who the 'killer' was. Everybody was standing around, and Lorelai was standing cross-armed looking upset.

It's not my fault she's upset, if she wanted to win this stupid thing she could have tried harder, it's not like the clues were actually hard to find.

I could tell everyone who killed Morey… who just got up to get a sandwich (good job on being dead), and that way, I could go home and leave this stupid party… but then Lorelai would be mad at me.

Or… he could tell everyone the wrong answer, Lorelai read the ticket, she already knew who did it, so she could win… but then once again, she would be the one that got all the glory. It's not like he really wanted the glory, just for once, maybe he wanted Lorelai to be excited about something he did.

"The killer is…" Tell the truth, lie for Lorelai…

Lorelai looked at Luke, come on, tell everyone, it was like he was reconsidering it… but why? Not for her, right? He couldn't like her that way.

"…Is Clyde McGuffin" Luke finished and everyone looked at him.

"Maybe you got the clue wrong" Rory said.

"It was the maid," Lorelai blurted out and everyone looked at her. "She killed him, that way she got the money from his will, she was planning on leaving the country in a month, with the boat ticket to Italy."

Luke quietly ducked out of the house onto the porch, and as Babbette was making her speech to confirm that she was the 'killer', Lorelai joined Luke on the porch.

This is the second last chapter; I'll finish the last chapter tonight and have it posted by tomorrow, so review please! It doesn't matter the review can just say good, or bad, it doesn't have to be long, but I like it when the reviews are long.

ENJOY.

MEGGAN.
