Chapter 7: Elaine and Roy
Rory got up at 6:00 a.m. to post the cast list at Luke's. She had finally come to a decision and was proud of herself for it. She heard panting behind her and turned around and saw Lorelai, sprinting to catch up with her.
"Mom, you never wake up at 6:00 a.m.," Rory said.
"It's been bothering me all night," Lorelai said. "I'm nervous. I couldn't sleep. Please, let me see it. Please."
"Calm down, crazy lady. I'm posting the list right now."
"Hurry up. The suspense is getting worse."
Rory shook her head. Her mother never got this worked up before. Rory sat down at the table. Luke came out yawning.
"Posting the list?" Luke asked.
"I just did," Rory answered.
"What'll it be?"
"Well, I'll have a cheese omelet and bacon with coffee and-"
Rory was interrupted by a delighted scream from Lorelai. Rory rolled her eyes.
"And your lunatic girlfriend will have a coffee," Rory said.
"Okay," said Luke.
"Decaf."
Luke nodded. Lorelai ran inside and hugged Rory.
"Thank you," Lorelai said. "Thank you! Thank you! You are truly the best daughter in the world!"
"Yeah," Rory said, barely able to breath. "I'm glad to make you happy. Can you let me go? I'm running low on oxygen."
"Sorry," Lorelai said, releasing her.
Luke came over with the coffees and gave Lorelai a quick kiss. Lorelai took a sip of her coffee.
"Um, Luke," Lorelai said. "This is decaf."
"I know."
"I hate decaf."
"Don't blame me. Rory ordered it for you."
"Okay, honey. Please take this back and get me a regular."
"Coming right up."
Luke took the cup back and brought Lorelai another one.
"You ordered a decaf?" Lorelai said to Rory. "You know I hate decaf."
"Hey, I casted you for Elaine," Rory said. "Don't give me any grief. Oh, by the way, did you see who your Rory is?"
"Why? Is it Kirk? You better not have casted Kirk!"
Lorelai got up and ran outside and looked at the list and came back in.
"You casted Michel as Roy?" Lorelai said.
"He was really good for the part," Rory said. "And he's better than Kirk. He's not repulsive, as you would say. He's actually kind of cute. Plus he's very good at faking an American accent."
"Yeah, but he's got such an attitude problem," Lorelai said. "And we have to kiss."
"Think about it this way. He's black. You're white and he's black. You'd be celebrating diversity."
"Isn't Roy white?"
"I didn't really say in the book. How do you think Michel is going to act?"
"I don't know, but the two of you are going to have to deal with it. Okay?"
"Okay."

A/N: Boring, I know, but again I have my reasons. I'm only making this a nine-chapter story because I have to leave on Monday. Where I go, I might be able to use a computer, but I'm not sure. Anyways, chapter 8 is coming soon.
