Chapter 9: Just Around the Corner
A few months had passed, it was December. Luke and Lorelai were getting closer and closer. But they weren't the only ones, Tristan and Rory were doing some serious flirting much to Logan and Dean's dismay.
Christmas was just around the corner, Luke and Jess were coming to the Gilmore's, Liz had left a few months ago with a man that was known as the duck man. Apparently he bread ducks. The Huntzberger's whole family was coming to the Gilmore's; it was there first Christmas together since Logan was in elementary school. Tristan was also coming because his parents were on a cruise. Lorelai was particularly happy because it was the most snow Stars Hollow had gotten since 1993.
Rory was sitting in Luke's talking to Lane about a week before Christmas. "So what are you getting everyone?" Lane asked her best friend.
"I'm getting mom a weekend getaway to this coffee resort in New York, everything smells and tastes like coffee." Rory told her
"I'm sure she'll love that." Lane confirmed.
"I'm getting the Huntzberger's one of those things that you hang from the door with all the names of the family in it." Rory told her. "And for Jess I'm making a mix of his favorite songs and the book The Fountain Head"
"I thought he hated that book." Lane said.
"Yeah I know." Rory smiled. "But he has never finished it, and I know if I give him the book he will finish it."
"And what are you getting Logan?" Lane asked.
"I'm getting him a shirt that says MAC on it and as a joke a box of condoms." Rory laughed.
"You're giving him a box of condoms in front of your parents and his parents?" Lane asked shocked.
"No we always give our joke presents to each other at the stroke of midnight on Christmas morning." Rory told her remembering the tradition that she loved. The boys sunk into her room and they opened the presents and Logan and Jess always ended up falling asleep on either side of Rory, each year Lorelai always managed to get a picture of it.
"Ok what are you getting Tristan?" Lane asked, knowing that Rory had a crush on him. She also however knew as everyone else in town knew that Rory and Logan belonged together. But she wanted Rory and figure that out for themselves instead of being pushed into something they didn't want too early.
"I'm getting him a heart shaped locket; on the inside one side is going to say 'Mary' and the other side is going to have a picture of me dressed up as Virgin Mary." Rory said laughing.
"Ahh, Mary, he'll get a kick out of you playing the After Mary in the living procession this year."
"Yeah well that's the only reason I'm doing it, is for his kicks, I bet mom, Logan and Jess will also get a kick out of it but it's all for Tristan." Rory took a sip of her coffee, "I wish that one year you could come."
"Well you know Mama Kim as well as anyone, maybe when we have our house made of brillow pads we can celebrate it together." Lane stated.
"Yeah, maybe." Rory said, the girls laughed.
"So tell me when are you and Tristan going to get together?" Lane asked Rory.
"I don't know but you know what my mom says 'Everything magical happens when it snows.'" Rory said took a sip of her coffee and looked at the snow falling to the ground.
A/N: Hey, more personal stuff about me, don't you just love that abou me? Ok the duck thing, that is my thing, I am obsessed with ducks, it's a recent obsession, I only have the basics right now, socks, stuffed animal, and alarm clock. And 1993 was the most snow that I ever heard of, I was actually almost born duinrg a snow storm in MARCH. I think it was because I wanted to see the snonw but my mom doesn't think so, I ended up being born in May though. That's the only history lesson on me for this chapter, stay tuned there is many more to come Please reivew, I will be eternally grateful.
