Chapter 4:

"Late again are we Gilmores" Taylor said

"Sorry dad" chorused Rory and Lorelai laughing

Earning a glare from Taylor while they settled down.

"Welcome to this emergency meeting townspeople I know this is-"

"Get on with it Taylor"

"Okay okay Jess I'm getting there"

The three Gilmores rolled their eyes and Luke sighed in frustrations.

"This meeting is about the bid'a'basket festival"

"Sugar are you saying it's off""

"Of course not I'm here to discuss the latest new basket makers: Steph, Honor and Paris who can no longer attend"

Rory and Jess spat out their drinks.

"What the hell!"

"Rory!"

"Sorry Jess, what do you mean they can't take part"

"They are outsiders and you know the rules they can't take part in this festival"

"okay Taylor here's the deal you let them take part otherwise we Gilmores and Luke will no longer take part in any festivals or turn up to town meetings except with Luke to hassle you"

Everyone gasped at Rory, she meant business. Lorelai and Jess knew she would not back down they had only seen her once like this about the bookstore not selling any new books and she had argued with Andrew for 1hr.

"Rory it's alright"

"No Paris it's not, you are going to take part whether Taylor allows it or no!"

"Fine, Fine your little friends can take part"

They all smiled. Logan was impressed he desperately wants her and he had a plan.

They had finished packing Sookies delight and although the boys knew whose was whose the girls did not mind. It was 11pm and they were exhausted.

"Guys I'm going to hit the hay"

"I'll join you cus"

They all slowly got up and went to bed.

Lorelai and Luke smiled as they watched the quirky group of friends go up

"They've grown up fast I remember the first time you came in to the diner with Rory and Jess like it was yesterday"

"They really have, they really have"
