I put the song in here! Well, here's the next chapter! Enjoy!

"What do you mean 'what are you doing here'? I'm here to practice with the band," Dave said.
"Um, well shouldn't they be in the garage?" Lorelai asked.
"I checked, but it was locked so I wondered if you had the key."
"Oh yeah! Rory and I locked it before we left, but I could have sworn we gave the key to Lane."
"No, you didn't, we haven't practiced all summer. I think we're all gonna suck now."
Lorelai smiled. "Yeah, if you haven't played in instrument in eight weeks, you start to lose you focus."
"Exactly."
She laughed. "Ok, hang on, I'll give you the key so you can open up."
"Um, I also need to use your phone so I can tell everyone that we can play again."
"Oh yeah, sure. Why don't you come in and use my cell. Rory's on the other phone."
"No I'm not," Rory said behind Lorelai.
Lorelai jumped and turned around. "Jeez, Rory, don't scare me like that."
"Sorry. Here, Dave." She handed him the phone. "It's all yours now."
"Thanks. Oh by the way, welcome back you two."
They both smiled. "Thanks, Dave."
----------------------------------------
Rory and Lorelai were listening to the still unnamed band practice a well known song by Something Corporate.
I woke up in New York City From my sleep behind the wheel Caught a train to Poughkeepsie And time stood still.
She wrote me a letter from San Diego To qualify her luck These flights connect thorough Arizona But I think I'll stay stuck.
So here I am Here I am, whoa oh.
Well I woke up in a car I traced away the fog So I could see the Mississippi on her knees I've never been so lost I've never felt so much at home Please write my folks and throw away my keys I woke up in a car I woke up in a car.
I met a girl who kept tattoos for homes That she loved If I were her I'd paint my body Until all my skin was gone.
She wrote me a letter as we passed through Rockford She said she won't forget Maybe I do, maybe I don't But I know I haven't yet.
So here I am Here I am, whoa oh.
Well I woke up in a car I traced away the fog So I could see the Mississippi on her knees I've never been so lost I've never felt so much at home Please write my folks and throw away my keys I woke up in a car I woke up in a car.
And maybe I could live forever If not ever I had known That you'd be waiting here whenever I'm alone.
But here I am Here I am, whoa oh.
Well I woke up in a car I traced away the fog So I could see the Mississippi on her knees I've never been so lost I've never felt so much at home Please write my folks and throw away my keys.
Well I woke up in a car har I traced way the fog So I could see the Mississippi on her knees I've never been so lost I've never felt so much at home Please write my folks and throw away my keys I woke up in a car I woke up in a car I woke up in a car.
"Wow, you guys are getting really good, even if you haven't practiced for two months!" Lorelai exclaimed.
"Thanks, Lorelai, but these may be the last times I spend with The. . .our band," Lane said.
"You guys need to think up a name or I'm going to think one up for you."
"Fine, Lorelai, what should we name the band?" Dave asked.
"Hmm. . . The Percolators!"
"Wow, that's pretty good for first try. What do you guys think?"
The rest of the band looked at each other and nodded.
"All right, go Mom!" Rory cheered.
Lorelai smiled. "Ooh! Can I be your manager now?"
There was complete silence.
"Fine, I can take a hint. But when you make it to the top, you have to say, that the mom that let you practice in her garage named your band."
"Of course by then our name will probably have changed," Brad said.
"Hey! That's mean!"
He smiled. "Sorry."
"Ok, so does anyone need anything? I'm gonna go to Luke's."
They all started saying what they wanted at the same time.
"Whoa whoa! Hold on there, piggys! I'm just gonna get six coffees, and six cheeseburgers. Is that ok?"
They all nodded and she left.
----------------------------------------
"Lukey!" Lorelai announced when she walked into the diner.
"Stop calling me that," he said coming out of the kitchen.
"Cheesy slice! You don't have to be so rude."
He rolled his eyes. "What do you want?"
"Six cheeseburgers and fries, and six coffees."
"No."
"Luke, I have to feed five little kiddies at home." She pouted. "Please help a poor, defenseless mommy."
"The band is practicing again?" She nodded. "Be right back with your food."
"Thank you daddy!" She called.
He walked into the kitchen without saying a word. Lorelai turned around and saw the whole diner looking at her.
"I'm gonna have a baby." She put her hand on her stomach. "Luke's the father."
Everybody started murmuring when Luke walked out with a bag and cup holders with coffee cups in them. "What's going on?"
"Um, I just made a startling announcement."
"Which was. . ."
"That I was uh, pregnant. With your baby."
"What?!"
"Uh. . . bye!" She grabbed the bag and the coffee holders and walked quickly out of the store. She got in the jeep and drove off.
----------------------------------------
"Honeys, I'm home!" She said as she got out of the car. Rory opened the garage door and Lorelai sprinted inside and shut the door behind her.
"Mom, what's going on?"
"Um, well, I think Luke's gonna try and kill me."
"Why?"
"Well, I called him daddy, and then I told the diner that I was carrying his baby."
Rory's eyes widened and her mouth dropped open. "Mom, you bad girl."
"I know, so we need to be quiet so Luke won't find us. I think he followed me."
"On foot or by truck?"
She shrugged. "I don't know. I was too busy trying to get away from my baby daddy."
She rolled her eyes. "Seriously, not only is Luke gonna kill you, he's gonna torture you and move out of town. Probably to Florida, or maybe Arizona. You know, some place hot enough so he could show off his daddy muscles."
Lorelai's mouth dropped open in amusement. "Now who's the bad girl?"
Rory shrugged. "I'm just saying that so you can take a step foreword and admit your undying love."
Lorelai pushed Rory's head back lightly. "Oh my god! You've lost your brain! Quick, everyone look for it, maybe Kirk took it. He's been acting pretty smart lately, have you seen?"
Lane and Rory nodded. "Maybe he's taking smart pills," Lane suggested.
"Or maybe he finally moved out with his mother. I haven't heard a 'my mother' story in ages."
"Now that you mention it, he has stopped talking about his mummy dearest," Rory said.
"And now that he's free, he knows how to steal smart people's brains."
Rory rolled her eyes. "Mom, would you stop it please?"
Lorelai sighed. "Fine."
"Lorelai?" Luke's voice called outside.
She gasped. "Oh no, he's after me!" She whispered.
"Lorelai? I know you're here. Your car's in front of me."
"She's in he-" Rory started saying but was cut off by Lorelai's hand.
The door opened and Luke stared at Lorelai. She smiled weakly. "Hi, honey."
