(Author's Note: This is the last chapter of the story.)
(Cut to Lorelai's bedroom the next morning.)
"Hey sleepy," said Max as he reached over and shook Lorelai awake. "It's time to get up. You're gonna be late for work."
"Argg," mumbled Lorelai.
"Okay. I have another idea." He kisses her. She kisses him back and wakes up.
"You should have done that in the first place."
"Oh really?"
"Yes it proves to be more effective."
"I'll take a note of that. I'm gonna go start breakfast okay?"
"Yeah. You're wonderful do you know that?"
"Yes."
"Good. I'll see you in a few minutes." He gets up and kisses her before going downstairs.
(Cut to Gilmore house that evening.)
"Honey I'm home!" said Lorelai as she walked in the door.
"Hey," said Max. "How was work?"
"Good." They kiss.
"I missed you."
"I missed you too. So what did you do with yourself all day?"
"I went shopping and bought some food because there was nothing in the fridge. Then I graded some papers for my summer class and made dinner."
"Sounds like fun. What's for dinner?"
"Spaghetti."
"Yum. Let me just get changed and I'll be down in a few minutes so we can eat."
"Okay. I'll get the table set." Lorelai heads upstairs and Max goes into the kitchen.
(Cut to living room later that evening.)
"So what are we gonna do tomorrow?" said Max. "It's the 4th of July."
"I know," said Lorelai. "I was thinking that we could go to the town barbeque and parade. There are fireworks at sundown and then we can come back here. I bought margarita mix."
"Sounds good to me."
"I'm tired. Ready for bed?"
"Yeah." They turn out the lights and head upstairs.
(Cut to Lorelai's bedroom on Friday morning.)
Lorelai awoke in Max's arms with a terrible hangover. "What happened last night?"
"We saw the fireworks," said Max. "Then we came back to the house and made margaritas. We were on our 5th or 6th one when we came up here and I don't remember much after that."
"Okay. I'm hungry."
"Me too." They get up and get dressed and then head downstairs.
(Cut to Chilton the following Tuesday. Lorelai is walking down the hall towards Max's classroom.)
"Guess who," she said as she walked into the room and put her hands over Max's eyes.
"Lorelai," he said turning around with a smile on his face. He gave her a hug and they kissed,
"Aww! You're no fun!" she said when they finally broke apart.
"Yes I am."
"I know."
"What are you doing here?"
"Things were slow at work so I decided to come and surprise you with a picnic lunch. I had Sookie fix us some food this morning."
"That certainly is a good surprise. I'm done for the day and I know a great park with a lake that's not too far from here."
"Okay. Let's go." They take each other's hands and walk out of the room.
(Cut to Lorelai and Max driving down the road in his Mustang.)
"Here we are," he said as he brought the car to a stop.
"It looks like we are the only ones here," said Lorelai.
"Good."
"Yup." He takes the picnic basket of out the car and they start walking. After about 15 minutes they reach a lake and stop. Lorelai pulls a blanket out of the basket and spreads in out on the beach. She and Max sit down and start to eat.
"So how was class today?"
"Good."
"Did you miss me?"
"Not really."
"Max!" She threw a cookie at him.
"Just kidding. Of course I missed you."
"That's better." She leans over and kisses him.
"Want to go for a walk?" he said a few minutes later.
"Yeah sure," she said. He took her hand and they started walking through the forest. After a while they reached an area with some benches. They stopped walking and looked around.
"Pretty isn't it?"
"Yeah. How did you know it was here?"
"I used to come here with my family when I was a kid."
"Oh. I went Chilton for a few years and I never knew this place was here."
"Most people don't know it even exists but I like it."
"Me too. Thanks for bringing me."
"You're very welcome." They smile at each other and kiss. They keep kissing and when they finally break apart a while later they are both flustered and out of breath.
"That was nice."
"Yeah. We need to do that more often."
"I know." They sit on a bench and start kissing again.
(Cut to Gilmore house a week later.)
"Hello?" said Max as he picked up the phone.
"Hey," said Rory."
"Hi Rory."
"Hi Max."
"How is Cape Cod?"
"Good. I'm having fun."
"That's good. Want to talk to your mother?"
"Yeah. That would be great."
"Okay. Hold on for a moment." He puts his hand over the receiver. "Lorelai! Rory is on the phone!"
"Okay," said Lorelai as she came into the room. She smiled at Max as he gave her the phone and walked out of the room. "Hey honey."
"Hi Mom."
"Having fun on your trip?"
"Yup. It's so nice up here!"
"I know. I went there with my parents for summer when I was little."
"Cool."
"Yeah it was. So what have you and Lane been up to?"
"Well we've gone to the beach almost everyday except for when it was raining. We saw a movie the other day and walked around town. They have some great stores up here and we went shopping."
"Sounds like fun. Did you meet any boys?"
"Mom!"
"I was just kidding!"
"I know. How's Dean?"
"Good. I talked to him the other day and he misses you like crazy."
"Tell him I miss him to when you see him."
"Okay."
"So how are things with you and Max?"
"Good. Really good. I'm glad he is staying with me."
"That's good."
"Yeah. I know he's gonna make a great husband. He cooks. He cleans. He likes you and he loves me more than anything. He's perfect."
"You sound really happy."
"I am. I'm so glad I've finally found the one for me."
"Aww. That's so sweet. Have you guys discussed plans for the wedding?"
"Yeah. We decided to get married next December in Stars Hollow Church and have the reception at the Inn."
"Sounds nice."
"Yeah."
"Well I gotta go. Lane and I are going out. Bye Mom. I love you."
"Bye honey. See you soon."
(Cut to living room of Gilmore house the following Friday.)
"I'm bored," said Lorelai. "I want to get away from here and go somewhere."
"Any place in particular?" said Max.
"Nope."
"How about the beach?"
"Nah. Let's just get in the car and drive."
"Okay. When do we leave?"
"Tomorrow."
"Alright. Tomorrow it is. Now I'm going to bed because we are going to have a long day tomorrow."
"Okay me too." They take each other's hands and go upstairs.
(Cut to Lorelai and Max driving in the car.)
"We're here!" said Lorelai as they pulled off the freeway at their exit.
"Where is here?" said Max.
"You'll see." They continue to drive for another 10 minutes until Lorelai pulls into a driveway. Max looks out the window and reads the sign.
"Six Flags?"
"Yup."
"May I ask why you picked this place?"
"Yes. I love roller coasters."
"You never cease to amaze me Lorelai Gilmore."
"Why thank you Max Medina." She pulls into the parking lot and they get out and start walking towards the entrance.
(Cut to Lorelai and Max waiting in line for a roller coaster.)
"I love roller coasters!" said Lorelai as they climbed into the roller coaster car.
"I know," said Max as their train ascended the lift hill.
"This one is supposed to be good. It goes upside down 8 times."
"Sounds like fun. You better really love me for this!"
"Oh but I do!" The train speeds down the lift hill and Lorelai smiles. Max looks at her and smiles too.
(Cut to Gilmore house the next day. Lorelai and Max are drinking coffee in the kitchen.)
"I had so much fun yesterday," said Lorelai.
"Me too," said Max. " I'm glad we went."
"Did you know that Rory comes home on Thursday?"
"Yeah."
"That only means that we have 5 more days together."
"I know. I'm going to miss you."
"I'm going to miss you too. This past month was wonderful."
"I don't want to go back to living by myself."
"I don't blame you but I'll come to visit a lot."
"I know and we'll be getting married before we know it. Then we won't ever have to be apart."
"Yup." They smile at each other and kiss.
(Cut to Gilmore house on Thursday morning around 7.)
"Mom!" yelled Rory as she walked in the door. "I'm home! When there was no answer she started to go upstairs. "She must be sleeping," Rory said to herself as she walked into her mom's room. As soon as she walked in the door she stopped because she saw her mom and Max fast asleep. They had smiles on their faces and looked happy and content. "I'll just talk to her when she wakes up," she said to herself.
(Cut to kitchen an hour later.)
"Max," said Lorelai. Do you want coffee?"
"Yes please," said Max as he came into the room. "I think Rory's home because I saw her suitcases in the living room."
"Really?"
"Yup."
"Rory!" Lorelai yelled as she pushed open Rory's door.
"Mom!" yelled Rory as she hugged her mom.
"When did you get home?"
"About an hour ago."
"Why didn't you wake me up?"
"I was going to but you and Max looked so peaceful so I decided to let you sleep."
"How nice of you. So tell me, was Cape Cod awesome?"
"Totally. I had a blast."
"That's good. I missed you so much."
"I missed you too Mom. I'm so glad I'm home."
"Me too. Have you called Dean yet?"
"No. I want to go surprise him. Do you think it's too early to go over there?"
"Nope. As a matter of fact Dean is working at the market this morning."
"Great. Do you mind if I go see him?"
"No. Have fun."
"I will Mom. Bye!" Rory leaves.
"I'm so glad she's home," said Lorelai.
"I can tell," said Max.
"There's only one bad thing about that."
"What?"
"It means you have to leave. I'm going to miss you so much. This past month was wonderful."
"I know. I'm going to miss you too."
"Thanks Max."
"For what?"
"For giving me the best summer ever."
"You're welcome." The smile at each other and kiss.
