So here I am, sitting in my computer chair, eating easy Mac and listening to music during my lunch because I have made a promise to myself: This chapter WILL NOT take as long to be posted as the last one did. (Knock on wood)
Anyways, I've had a couple of people asking about my other story: 'It's About Time', and I'm in the middle of writing a chapter now, I think that story is going to end when Luke and Lorelai are married and have their kid, because I'm working on another story where Lorelai and Luke go up to The Danes' old cottage, and I want to devote all my attention to that story so people wont have to wait more than a month for an update… (Cough, cough)
Hey, have I mentioned I LOVE all of my reviewers? Like seriously. I usually like Mondays (Yes I have problems), but today (Monday) I woke up in a crabby mood, and then I read my e-mails and I got three very nice reviews… WOOT! Thanks guys, really, you made me happy… although the Math test I had period one put my mood down, but I had gym last period so I'm happy again!
XOGILMOREGIRLSOX10 – Thank you so much. (Blushes) I hope you like this chapter too and check out my other stories! Thanks for the review!
GILMOREGROUPIE – Ha, me too. Or, when one of my friends tell me to do something, like in science the other day, my friend told me to get a pop can for our experiment, and I was like "Enough with the peer presser!" And then of course, because I yelled it half my class stared at me with a blank look… happens a lot to me actually! Anyways, YEAH, another fourteen year-old! SCORE. Anyways, thanks for the review!
VAKAN – Thanks a lot, keep reviewing, I hope you like this chapter!
LOLABELLE26 – I always love your random reviews, thanks, ha, keep reviewing; I'm looking forward to another random review for this chapter too!
So like I mentioned last chapter this is going to be the last chapter of 'Reaching New Heights'. I really loved writing it, but I want to start something new. See, I have found out I should really do one shots instead, because by about the third or fourth chapter of any story I write, unless I'm getting a crap load of reviews, I end up getting bored, which is what happened with this story, hence the long awaited update. So in result, because this is the last day and generally people have to check out by eleven on their last day, this chapter is going to be pretty short. Anyways, I hope everyone will read my next story, I'll add a little preview to the bottom and you guys can say whether you want me to do it or not.
MEGGANReaching New Heights
Reaching New HeightsThe End and A New Beginning
When Lorelai woke up she was a bit startled when she realized; A: Luke's arm was rapped snuggly around her, and B: She wasn't wearing any clothes. But then she remembered what had happened the night before which resulted in her current position, so she smiled and snuggled closer to Luke enjoying the warmth of his body.
Today was Wednesday; Lorelai thought to herself about what had happened so far, and it was only the middle of the week.
On Monday they had come to Six Flags, she has finally faced her phobia and went on not one, but TWO roller coasters, and most of all, by the end of the day, she and Luke had kissed and stayed up talking until the early the next day.
On Tuesday, she and Luke determined that they were an 'us', and that resulted in kissing in public, hugging, and most of all, acting like a couple that had been together for years. Then, she convinced Luke to go 'skydiving' with her and won tickets to a concert. They went out on a date, went to a concert, and then came back to the trailer where they crossed the line of never coming back again, together.
Now on Wednesday she was here, wishing this vacation would never end, or at least that when they got back to Stars Hollow, things wouldn't change.
She turned around in Luke's arms and looked at him sleeping. Her usual tough diner man looked so peaceful and calm as he slept. She stayed there looking at him for about five minutes until he woke up.
"Hey," He whispered softly against her shoulder when he opened his eyes.
"Morning," Lorelai said smiling and leaned in to kiss him softly on the lips. Luke smiled and then shut his eyes again.
"Hey, are you gunna get up? This is our last day and it's already," She paused and looked at the clock on the nightstand. "Seven o'clock." She looked back at the clock and sighed, "It's only seven o'clock!"
"Then go back to bed," Luke said burring his head further into the pillow.
"Luke what's wrong with me? I'm on vacation, I'm supposed to be sleeping." She gasped and then continued. "Oh no! Maybe you're weird habit of waking up early is catching onto me!"
"Says the person whose awake while I'm sleeping," Luke started and then added, "Or trying to anyways"
"Exactly!" Lorelai said and poked Luke causing him to shoot a death stare at her. "Maybe my sleeping patterns are catching onto you!"
"God help me," Luke said and rolled over, his back to Lorelai.
"Get up, I'm awake you HAVE to be awake." When he didn't respond she moved towards him and put a hand on his back while she leaned over his body, (so she was almost completely on top of him) and looked at his face. "Wake up Luke… please" She pouted but his eyes were shut.
Once his breathing slowed down and he looked like he was falling back asleep she cocked her head to the side and smiled. "I guess I'm just going to make breakfast myself."
Luke's eyes shot up open and he rolled onto his back, causing Lorelai to be right no top of him.
"I'll make your breakfast, no sense in you doing it and burning down this entire park" Luke laughed and kissed Lorelai.
"Thanks," She smiled and as he got up and got dressed she snuggled into the sheets where Luke was just laying and got comfortable.
When Luke went into the kitchen area he looked out the window at the gray outdoors where it was pouring down rain.
"I guess we're leaving early." He said to Lorelai.
"Why?" Lorelai asked as she picked up Luke's flannel from the chair next to the bed and put it on.
"See for yourself," Luke said turning around and looking at Lorelai, who was just wearing his flannel. He raised an eyebrow and the corners of his lips curved up. "I like the new look"
Lorelai completely ignored his comment and looked out the window. "No way, I wanted to go on Superman one more time and get another picture!" She sighed and spun on her heal to face Luke, who still had a goofy expression on his face.
"Oh grow up and make me some pancakes damn it!" She joked and put both hands on his bare chest and pushed him against the counter. When she noticed he wasn't moving she trailed her finger across his chest, "By the way… incase I didn't get a chance, last night was amazing" She said, still focusing on her fingers.
"What? Dinner… the Ferris wheel… the concert"
"All of last night"
"Yeah?" Luke asked with a cocky smile.
"Yeah you ego manic, now can you PLEASE make me breakfast before all that's left of me is the poor flannel shirt."
"Yeah, yeah, I'm going" He turned around and started making breakfast.
Once Lorelai and Luke had FINALLY finished packing, (Which took over two hours, most of the time they weren't even packing), they were satisfied to see that the rain had cleared and they had enough time to go on Superman before their eleven o'clock check out.
"Where do you want to sit?" Luke asked as they stood in line for the roller coaster.
"Well the shortest line is the front… I guess, ONLY if you hold my hand, I'll go on the front"
They went in the line up and waited for their car to come in, it was the blue car, or as know by Lorelai, 'Blue's Clues', Clues for short.
"Which side do you want to sit on?" Luke asked while he led Lorelai onto the station platform with his hand resting on the small of her back.
"Same side as usual," Lorelai said and sat on the right side.
"You do realize that no matter which side you sit on, the ride is the exact same." Luke said as he sat next to Lorelai and began doing up the seat belt.
"No, while you're climbing the hill, this is the side that the ladder thingy is on, which makes me feel safe because you could fall out your side and fall a hundred feet to the ground, while I would land on the ladder."
Luke didn't even respond to what she said as just waited for the ride to start.
Lorelai, as usual, reached over for Luke's hand and he gave her hand a light squeeze.
Once the ride started and was going up the hill Lorelai did what she usually did when she was nervous, and started talking.
"Hey Luke, since this is our last time on this ride for a while, I'm going to scream louder than I EVER have."
"Great," Luke smiled and he kissed Lorelai quickly on the cheek.
"Wow, three quick days and I've already turned you into a softy."
The chains stopped and the ride raced down the hill, and as Lorelai promised, she screamed louder this time than ever.
Just as it was going up the last hill, (The one with the picture on it), Luke fought the wind, and turned Lorelai's face towards him and kissed her right on the lips.
…
Despite the fact it was just a three-day vacation ten years ago, the picture still sits on his and Lorelai's nightstand. Even when their three-year-old twins are crying, the picture makes them smile.
Luke was kissing Lorelai and you could visibly see them both smiling through the kiss. On the back of the picture there is a note that Lorelai wrote on the way back to Stars Hollow that same day:
Thank you for the trip of a lifetime, I can't thank you enough.
Love you,
Lorelai.
And right under it is still the mark where Lorelai dropped her dippin' dots when Luke told her he loved her, right after they got of Superman.
Yeah I know it was a different ending than my other stories but I don't know, I kind of liked it… I hope you guys did too! PLEASE REVIEW!
Preview for my next story:
NAME: Want To
SUMMARY: (May change) Luke and Lorelai head up to the Danes' old cottage. Just another story about another way Luke and Lorelai could get together. JJ – duh, and please RR.
MORE ABOUT IT: It is based on the song: 'Want To' By: Sugarland. The song is basically about two friends who are debating whether or not to cross the line between staying friends and getting together.
The story is mainly from Lorelai's point of view and once again, it is ONE HUNDRED percent Luke and Lorelai fluff… the good stuff we're all addicted to!
-So what do you think? I have it all planned out, FOR ONCE. I actually wrote down what's going to happen in each chapter, which I have NEVER done before… so it could end up completely horrible, or better than the stories I usually write.
Anyways, I hope you guys read it,
Thanks again,
MEGGAN
