iO.k. people this is my first fan fiction. So please Review, be honestly harsh, but if you're a Max fan don't hate me if Lorelai ends up with Luke… and the same goes for all you Java Junkies out there. Review and let me know if you think this thing is worth continuing. It takes place right after Love, Daisies and Troubadours. /i
"Oh my God! You won't believe what happened to me!!" Both Lorelai's screamed happily.
Lorelai still couldn't believe what was happening to her. Her head was in a funny place and her thoughts were so jumbled, but mainly they consisted of two questions: Will Rory freak out, and oh my God what will my parents think? The thought of her parents brought her heart rate down a few beats per second. Trust them to ruin one of the best days in her life. Oh well, no time to think about now. Right now the older Gilmore was on a rush only experienced by triple-caff coffee. Oh my God, thought Lorelai, I turned down Luke's coffee!
"Rory, honey, you go first, you might need to sit down for my news, I might even knock you out, or give you a few tranquilizers first." Lorelai said, wild with emotion, but trying so hard to suppress it.
"O.k. mom, well… I don't know how you'll react to this," started Rory.
"For the love of God spit it out!!!" Screamed her mother, "c'mon kid I'm not a mind reader, if it made you happy I'm sure it will make me happy too!"
"O.k., well you know how you said you had a fear of commitment, and didn't want me too…..well…"
"MAX PROPOSED TO ME!!!!" Screamed Lorelai, unable to keep the news inside her a moment longer.
"Um o.k., excuse me…. I'm sorry; I think I must be hallucinating…. I heard you say that my English teacher proposed to you." Said Rory hesitantly.
"Oh damn, I said that out loud."
That was the only thing Lorelai could think of to say. When she saw the crushed, confused look on her daughters face, all of the excitement just flew right out of her. Damn, she thought quietly, now I could definitely use some coffee.
"Rory, hunny. Max did propose to me, and I don't know what to say. I haven't felt like this for a long, long time…and I really want to say yes. But if it's not ok with you, then the whole thing is off. I'll say no, because he'd be in our family, so it has to be a group decision…." The Inn Keeper, formerly known as Lorelai, heard her voice trail quietly off. And then she just looked at Rory excpectantly.
"Mom…..this is big. I mean, a teacher, not just any teacher… a CHILTON teacher, and not just any CHILTON teacher, but MY Chilton English teacher…"
"Ok, Rory, baby, maybe you need to think a little while about this before you decide.." Lorelai said quietly, in what she hoped was a soothing tone.
But Rory just continued talking like her mom wasn't even there. "And all Paris and the rest of the Chilton squad are gunna totally have a hay-day with this. And Tristan, oh crap, what about Tristan…" Rory's voice was getting higher and higher and hr mother could tell that she was headed for a full blown panic attack.
"Rory, c'mon, lets go home, we can get in our jamies and just sit and talk for the whole night. You need to tell me your news too.."
"It's not nearly as important as this mom. I mean, how did this happen?
"Well when I went on a date with Max last night, Luke cam over, and we ended up having a fight.
"Who did you fight with? Luke or Max?"
"Oh, sorry, Max, and one thing happened to lead to another.. you know a chaiin reaction… oh gosh I loved that movie….! Oh sorry," said Lorelai when she saw her daughters annoyed look. "o.k., where was I, oh yeah, the chain reaction. Well any way he said he though we should get married as a sulotion. And I don't think marriage is a band-aid, I think it should be something special with 1,000 yellow daisies, and a horse, and…."
"A horse, mom?"
"Yes horses are very romantic animals! Let me finish. So Max, he apologized about that, and we decided to forget about it and start the nghit over. But then this moring… oh man…"
"WHAT? C'mon kid, I'm not a mind reader."
Lorelai smiled to have her words repeated to her, and then continued the story. "Well I walked into the hotel only to see Michele arguing with some flower guy!"
"So, Michele argues with everyone. He's French."
"Thank you captain obvious! Well, anyways, it turn out that when I walked into the hotel there were exactly 1,000 yellow daisies waitng for me! I was so shocked I called Max. He said that he knew he proposed the wrong way but he loved me and wanted to marry me. He told me not to answer right away just to think about it, and then we hung up." Finished Lorelai triumphantly. "So, Ror, what do you think?"
"No mom.. I just… I can't…" broke in the younger Gilmore. "I've gotta be alone, to think about this. I'm sorry, it's just. Oh my God."
"I understand hunny, just remember, you still have to tell me your news too." Said a fully deflated Lorelai, so deflated that they could nail her down and use her as a Lorelai Gilmore tent, she thought.
"I'm fine, I'll tell you my news. I'm just gunna walk, please..its ok." She added when she saw her mothers worried face. "I'll be home in and hour or two.
"O.k. Rory, I'll be home waiting…" Said Lorelai to her daughters swiftly retreating back. "Don't hurry, I'll just be there….waiting for you…..to come back…..So you'll know where to find me!" She yelled.
"Oh God Lorelai," she said quietly to herself. "What have you gotten yourself into this time?"
"Oh my God! You won't believe what happened to me!!" Both Lorelai's screamed happily.
