Chap 12: My hips are playin' up on me again!
The day before the Snow Festival…..Friday arvo….
The phone rang just as Rory was emerging from the shower.
"Hello, Rory Gilmore speaking." She said politely.
"Hello Rory! How are you today?" Emily Gilmore asked.
"Hi Grandma! I'm OK, schools over for the week and there is going to be a Snow Festival tomorrow night. So I'm looking forward to that."
"Oh that sounds nice! Although it hasn't actually snowed lately, won't that defeat the purpose of the entire gathering?"
"Oh no! Our little town would never cancel a Snow Festival because there was no snow! That would be blasphemous!" Rory thought for a moment. "Do you and Grandpa want to come tomorrow night? We could have dinner at Teriyaki Joe's again!"
"That's a wonderful idea, I'm sure we'll be able to make it."
"That's great grandma." Rory smiled.
"But there is a small matter of tonight's engagement. I'm sorry to say that we have to visit one of Richard's business partners in hospital. He had a hip replacement and it seems it hasn't turned out as planned."
"That's awful Grandma, I'll tell Mom when she gets home. Bye, see you tomorrow night, about six?"
"Perfect. Bye Rory." Emily hung up.
Just then, Lorelai burst through the door. Before Rory could catch her attention she was already upstairs getting ready for dinner.
"Mom! We don't…"
"Can't talk, dressing."
"But Mom…"
"Just a sec Rory!" Lorelai yelled sounding panicked.
"STTTTTOOOOOOPPPP!" Rory shouted. Lorelai froze.
"Geez ok calm down, what is it?"
"We don't have to go to dinner tonight."
"W-what? Did someone die?"
"Mom that's morbid."
"Well it's the only explanation they would have for canceling dinner." Lorelai said as she swapped her skirt for some comfy jeans.
"No its not. They have to go visit one of Grandpa's friends in hospital because his hip replacement didn't turn out properly."
"Close enough."
"Anyway, I'm going to Lane's place instead. I'll probably have dinner there too." Rory called as she exited the house.
"Oo oo! Bring me a tofu doggy bag!" Lorelai yelled back.
She heard a muffled 'Ha Ha' from the street as Rory headed towards her friend's house. Then she ran over to the couch and started jumping up and down on it yelling, "Go Lorelai, its your birthday, you got outta dinner, its your birthday!" but stopped as something dawned on her.
"I'm alone on a Friday night!" she yelled to herself. "I'll have to visit the Lukester! OK, first sign of madness, talking to yourself." She picked up her jacket and headed to Luke's, singing on her way:
"I'm all alone, there's no one her beside me, my problems have all gone, there's no one to derive me! But ya gotta have friends…"
~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~
Saturday Morning…
Rory was having a fantastic dream about her many conquests in Europe. Poland was captured and she had now moved on to Switzerland. Her plans were going well until a giant who looked just like her mother stomped on the entire country, crushing all her armies and perfectly structured political agendas.
"Waaaaakkkkkkkkkeeeee uuuppppp!" Lorelai called to her sleeping daughter.
"ugga omf" She replied.
"Pardon dear child?"
Rory lifted her head from the pillow.
"Bugger off!"
"Well if that's how you feel, I came in to tell you I have to work today. Michel rang last night and apparently there is a giant busload of Japanese tourists coming in today. My service is required. I'll meet you at the Festival tonight about seven, I have to drag Luke out of the diner first." Lorelai started to walk towards the door, "You may sleep now."
"Eh."
Lorelai smiled and left the room.
"Wait mom….mooooooommmm?" Rory called weakly. She didn't return. 'Oh well, she doesn't know about Grandma and Grandpa coming tonight. She won't mind.' Rory turned and dozed off once more.
