Rating: No idea what the rating of this story WILL be, but for now it's PG.
Summary: Basically there's nothing I can tell you right now or it will spoil the whole story. It does involve a bit of L/L though in the background details.
Pre-story Authors Note: Sigh! The 2nd chapter is now finished and up and running! Thanks to people who have taken the time to review because I see no point in finishing if no-one seems to want it finished! Well, the good part is fast arising and I hope you keep reading until I get there! Thanks
(Thanks to Jacqueline for helping me with part of my Sookie troubles!!!)

Chapter 1 - Flashing Lights
The Chilton halls looked bleak and terrifying as Rory Gilmore stepped out the school doors for the last time for another two months. She was excited about her summer vacation. Most of her plans this summer involved her boyfriend, Dean. A sudden, pleasent chill was sent down her spine, as she thought of her better than the best, boyfriend.
She raised her head, and freed her mind from her daydreaming, and was amazed to find she has boarded her bus and was now home. She stared amused at her home that her mother Lorelai, worked so hard to gain. The path to her door was falling apart, but Rory didn't notice these faults about her house. Her house wasn't her life, her mother was, and her mother was as good as any mother could strive to be.
As Rory entered her Stars Hollow house, she remembered Dean was coming to pick her up at four o'clock. She quickly glanced at her watch and realised it was now three-thirty! Rory gasped and began to scurry around her house, desperate to be ready in time. Just as she put the finishing touches on her appearence, the door-bell rang.
Rory ran down her stairs, as if she were running an olympic marathon and answered the door. She looked into the eyes of her vision of the most handsome guy on the planet and gracefully left her house and entered his car.
"Hey Dean! I've been waiting all week for this night. Geez, school is so hectic lately!" said Rory excitedly.
"Well it's here." Dean said calmly.
"Well, where to?" she asked expectantly.
"I thought, maybe I'd take you out for dinner, then we can go to the park and lay back and relax like we did a few weeks ago."
"Ahhhh. Sounds lovely, only this time, lets do without the attacking seagulls!" Rory laughed as they drove off.
***
Lorelai looked out her bedroom window and watched her only child leave for the rest of the evening leaving her alone on a Friday...again. She wasn't mad, but it would be nice if her and Rory didn't only spend time together on Saturdays. Sure she loved it, but she remembered being like Rory as a teenager and she didn't want what happened to her, to happen to Rory. Of course she's glad it happened or she wouldn't have had Rory, but still, she didn't want to be a grandmother for quite some time.
Suddenly she had inspiration for what to do tonight. She'd buy a delicious sugary cake, and invite Sookie over for a two girl movie party, Gilmore style! They hadn't had one of those in a long while. She'd go over to Luke's to buy the cake.
Lorelai dialed Sookie's number.
"Hey Sookie! It's Lorelai," she said happily. "What are your plans for tonight?"
"Ummmmmm...not much I suppose..." Sookie replied.
"Well how about a movie night? Just you, me, and a deliciously sugary cake!!!!" exclaimed Lorelai questionally.
"Is it a sugary cake made by Luke?" asked Sookie emphisizing the Luke part.
"No its made by that darn crazy cat in the hat! Of course it's made by Luke! He's the only one that puts enough sugar in a cake to make pengiuns fly, and it just isn't a sugary cake without loads of sugar"
"Yea....I think I should come just so you DON'T see those penguins flying!!!!" Sookie joked.
"YAY!! Penguins and Sookie!! This is gonna be one killer night!!! Maybe those Green rabbits will bring us some tea!" Lorelai said.
"Okay. I'm going to be there as soon as I can so I don't lose you to some green rabbits with tea and flying penguins...I'll be there around 5." Sookie laughed.
"Okie dokie, hokie! See ya then!" Lorelai ended.
Lorelai got off the phone and decided to walk down to Luke's to get the sugary, green rabiits for tea, flying penguins cake before Sookie arrived. She looked at the clock and saw she had only half an hour to get there and back again. She hurried out the door grabbing her jacket on the way out.

"Dean. That dinner was wonderful! Who would have thought they could make chicken into so many different things?" said Rory while she lay on the park's dark green soft grass.
"So you've had a good time so far? Not thinking it would be better with Jess, or maybe Tristan?" Dean said cautiously.
"Where'd you get an idea like that?" Rory said suddenly sitting upright. "Of course I wouldn't! Dean! That's the stupidest thing I've heard all night!"
"You're right. I'm not sure why I even said that. You know I didn't mean it right?" said Dean sounding immensly relieved.
"Okay, let's just forget about this and go back to relaxing. I was getting quite comfortable on this green grass." Rory said while lying back down and cuddling next to Dean.
"Sure, let's."

Bing bing bing. The chimes ringed as Lorelai entered Luke's diner.
"Hey Luke! Guess who!" Lorelai yelled because she couldn't see Luke anywhere.
"He's not here lady and I'd apprieciate it if you kept it down in here." some stange voice called from somewhere behind the counter.
"AAAHHHH! Who are you!!!!" she yelled as an unfamiliar face popped up. "LUKE! SOMEONE"S STEALING YOUR DINER!!! LUKE I THINK IT'S GOT SOMETHING TO DO WITH FLYING PENGUINS!!! AAAAHH!!!!!"
"LADY! Keep it down! I think I know who are now. Luke told me you'd be in here. He said I'd notice you right away, and that you'd most likely cause an uproar finding out that the coffee machine is down. You are Lorelai Gilmore aren't you? I'm Ben Freemin. Luke's cousin." he said.
"Luke has a cousin....wait a second...did you just tell me the coffee machine is broken??? MY LIFE IS OVER!!!" Lorelai wailed.
"My God woman! Take control of yourself. That's why Luke is gone today. He went to a nearby city to get it replaced. He'll be back, with the coffee machine tomorrow." Ben shook his head as he went back to work wiping the counters.
"He better be back tomorrow, or Stars Hollow will be searching for both of your dead bodies in my back yard." Lorelai grumbled. "I want a cake...NOW! After all this trouble it should be the best in the house. No coffee, I never thought I'd have a reason to kill Luke, but here we go. There's a first time for everything!"
"Sorry, we're all out of cakes. I can give you a cinnamon bun though." Ben grinned obviously amused by the look of sheer terror at him.
"No cakes, or coffee, or Luke!!! AND THEN YOU OFFER ME A CINNAMON BUN!!!! What's the world coming to?" Lorelai banged her head on the counter.
"So you don't want the cinnamon bun?" he asked smirking.
"Give it to me!" she growled as she stormed out of the diner not noticing it was just turning 5:15.....
Lorelai's good mood no longer existed as she grumpily walked home to find an impatient Sookie waiting at the front door.
"Hey Lorelai! I really should get a spare key from you knowing that you are always lat....." Sookie's voice trailed off as she saw Lorelai's disgruntled face. "Hey's what's wrong, and where's the cake? I know Luke can be a monster but he always gives in to you eventually."
Lorelai spit out something that sounded like "Lukebrokencoffeenocakeweirdcousin!" She saw Sookie's puzzled face and said it again, only this time a little bit slower. "Luke's gone fixing his broken coffee machine, there was no cake and there was a weird mean cousin looking after the diner!"
"Well at least we still have our movie night, cake or no cake, Luke or no Luke, and hopefull it's Gilmore style!" Sookie said as they entered the house. "Plus, there's always the prospect of ice cream!"
Lorelai felt much cheerier as she entered her messy house and moved to the television. "What should we watch? Tom Cruise in death defying stunts, John Travolta strutting his stuff, or that weird movie with Tom Hanks and that guy in jail who is like a miracle worker or something?" Lorelai asked Sookie.
"How about all three?" Sookie replied enthusiastically.
"Good idea!" Lorelai replied.

Lying down against Dean's chest, Rory felt a sense of protection, and warmth that she knew only he could fill. She closed her eyes and listened to him tell her about everything that was going on with him. She felt completely at ease listening to his strong comforting voice. She hardly noticed when the voice stopped because she had drifted off to sleep.
Dean looked at her with compassion. She looked beautiful. He knew they should be going but he couldn't bare to wake her up. After about fifteen minutes he slightly shook her awake and helped her over to the car.
"Dean. That was the loveliest night I've had in so long. I just wish I was still lying there." Rory sighed.
"Yea, I agree. I had a great time too. I'd love to be there still too but I'd also like to see you again this week. If I didn't get you up you'd be grounded for breaking curfew and I'd be lonesome." Dean said.
"Yes. I guess you are right. Well, we should move it then. I have to be home in a couple minutes."
Dean and Rory climbed into the car side by side. Dean started the car and took off down the usually adbandoned highway. Out of nowhere two large lights flashed into the car's windsheild and momentarily blinded Dean. There was a large smash, then silence.
*A/N - YAY!!! I finished the first chapter!!! I know the outcome is predictable, but i thought I should end it this way. Remember to review my story! Those reviews keep me going!*
