AN: Thanks bunches for all the lovely reviews to my last post. Your support means a lot. I'm really trying with this story again now and I'm hoping to get another post up this week, because I finish school on Wednesday, so I should have time. I hope you like the chapter. I think I know where this is going now. R&R please...
The Elder Gilmore's House (The Next Night)
"Yes, but I didn't know that the red button would stop it!" Emily was talking to Richard, who was currently in France on a business deal. She had spent the last ten minutes trying to tell him about yesterday, without any luck, of course.
"And you didn't think to call someone apart form Lorelai. What if she hadn't come? Would you have just left it?" Richard asked angrily down the phone.
"Ok, Richard. I'm sorry, but I didn't know who else to call." She said in a quite voice. Emily didn't want to fight with Richard over something so stupid.
"No, Emily, I'm the one who should be apologising. Not you. I didn't mean to upset you."
"You didn't." Emily smiled.
"Ok, good." Richard smiled too. "So I'll see you when I get back on Monday ok?"
"Yes, see you then." Emily said as she hung up the phone, happy that the call hadn't evolved into a fight.
Meanwhile in Stars Hollow…
"Wow, this is amazing!" Lorelai exclaimed as she and Rory wondered into the town centre. There were white fairy lights all over the place making the whole town sparkle. Lorelai pulled her thin cardigan tight around her shoulders, the cold November weather making her shiver. There were different stalls with games like you'd find at a fair. There was also a giant ferris wheel in the middle of the town, which is where Rory pulled Lorelai over to first.
To be honest Lorelai didn't feel all to safe in the ferris. It had been put together in a day, how safe can it be? That in mind, she couldn't help clinging onto the bar in front of her as if her life depended on it. Rory, however was waving her arms above her head and coaxing her mother to do the same, but failing miserably. "Seriously, Rory, stop it you're shaking the whole thing." Lorelai whined as if she was the little kid and not the mother.
"Fine then." Rory sulked.
The ride stopped and Lorelai rushed off, leaving Rory to go round again on her own. She didn't waste anytime looking around for Luke in the crowd. The crowd thinned out a little and she finally spotted him sitting on the bench in the middle of the town. Apparently he was also looking for someone as she saw him searching through the crowd.
Before Lorelai could join Luke on the bench someone else sat down next to him. For a moment Lorelai felt jealous of the woman sitting down next to him. But only for a moment. Until she realised that although he was talking to the woman he was still looking for someone. As she prepared herself to go over to him she thought to herself: I hope it's me.
Nervously, Lorelai wandered over to the bench. Luke spotted her in the crowd and smiled at her. "Hey, Luke." She said when she reached the bench.
"Lorelai, hey. Um… this is Rachel, my uh… my friend." There was an uncomfortable silence until Rachel stood up and announced she was going to find her fiancé, said goodbye to Luke and Lorelai and wandered off.
Lorelai joined Luke on the bench and for a few minutes they sat in silence watching the people around them. "The town looks real pretty tonight, don't you think?" Whispered Lorelai. Luke just nodded in response, honestly he hated these darn festivals but everyone seemed to enjoy them.
"I'm glad you came," Luke said after a few more minutes of silence. Lorelai turned to him and they shared one of those smiles.
"Mom, can we go on that 'Whack-A-Mole thingy please." Rory begged as she ran over to the bench.
"I'm not going to beat up poor defenceless animals, but you can." Lorelai handed Rory some money to have a go on the game. Rory ran over to join the queue and Lorelai and Luke got up to follow her.
When it came to Rory's turn she didn't get a high enough score to win, so they joined the queue again and this time Luke won a teddy bear for Rory, who carried it on her hip as they wandered around the rest of the fair. Lorelai sulked a little so Luke had a go at the Strong man thingy and won a giant monkey for Lorelai.
Gilmore Household (Arriving Home)
The door swung open and Rory danced into the house, teddy bear and all. "You love him, you want to kiss him, you want to…"
"Keep on singing, sunshine, and see where it gets you." Lorelai threatened, although it didn't work. She had a huge grin plastered to her face, and was still clinging to the monkey.
AN: Ok, so there it is. Sorry it's so short but I'll update again soon, promice.
