Chapter two: Tickles and giggles…
Same day…afternoon…
The piercing ringing in her ears signaled the arrival of a telephone call. Rory slowly rose from the couch where she was so happily having a veg-fest along with 'Pretty Woman' and fifty types of candy. She picked up the phone,
"Hello?" she said drowsily.
"Rory! How are you?" Emily's cheerful voice filled the earpiece.
Rory shuddered, "Half asleep." She commented.
"I would have thought you and your mother would have been out doing something crazy at this time of night, is she there? I would like to ask her something." Emily inquired.
"Ahh, about that…' Rory hesitated, "Mum kinda went on a road trip."
"What do you mean she KINDA went on a road trip?" Emily was confused, Rory giggled a little at her grandmother using slang.
"She left this morning, she's on a road trip to Ontario."
"Why on earth would she do that? When is she coming home?"
"I'm not…entirely sure…" she said slowly.
"You're not sure! Didn't she tell you!" Emily was getting very angry at this news.
"No, they weren't really sure how far it was to Thunder Bay, that's where the good coffee is made." Rory smiled at the thought.
"What are you talking about? Who's they?"
"Mum and Luke."
"Oh." Emily softened at the mention of Luke, a kind of 'I told you so' tone coming to her voice, "Your mother and Luke went to get coffee?"
"Uh huh, his diner ran out of it yesterday and the shipment didn't come because the drivers are on strike so they went to get it themselves."
Emily was silent for a moment, "I want you to come and stay here while she is gone."
"Ahh, ok but I think you should ask mum first." Rory suggested.
"I will call her mobile. Start packing, I will send the driver for you as soon as I get off the phone with Lorelai. Goodbye." With that, Emily hung up.
~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~
Meanwhile…back at the ranch…
"You do have to drive SOME time you know." Lorelai pressured Luke.
"I know, I just don't think I can drive anything that isn't my truck."
"You're a wuss."
"Why thank you dear friend." Luke replied sarcastically.
Lorelai ignored him, "Oo! Look! Food!" she steered the car sharply into a roadway diner.
"I refuse to eat in a diner." Luke said sternly, crossing his arms in front of his chest.
"Ok…what?"
"Me…not…eat…in…no…diner."
"Yeah…me Tarzan, you Jane." She looked at Luke skeptically. "Why not?"
"I just don't want to."
"Come on Luke! I'm starving! Your not gunna die from diner food, it's not like you've never been in one before!"
They stared each other down for a few minutes. Neither was budging. Lorelai bought out the big guns. With a small sniff, her bottom lip slowly curled down.
"No Lorelai, not the lip." She kept pouting, "You know I can't refuse the lip!" the pouting continued, "Aww man..." Luke unbuckled his seat belt and quickly got out of the car.
Lorelai did a little jig while she to exited the jeep. "You are really just a big teddy bear aren't you?" she tickled his side, "Yes you are…"
Luke squirmed and tried to push Lorelai away, but her fingers kept finding his most ticklish spots. "Knok..it...off!" he said between giggles.
"I made Luke giggle!" She congratulated herself as Luke held the door to the diner open for her. Gazing around, they noticed how different this diner was compared to Luke's. The tables had tacky plastic tablecloths and the chairs were all an awful shade of bright green. Most of the patrons were either truckies or wives of truckies and the few that weren't looked like they were permanently glued to the red cushioned stools at the counter. "Ewwww." Lorelai said quietly into his ear.
"Please tell me my place is nothing like this one." Luke asked apprehensively.
"Your place is nothing like this one."
"How reassuring."
They spotted a small table for two over in the corner of the room. Moving over to it, the regulars turned from their meals in unison, to check out the intruders. After a few crude comments, the slimy group turned back to their food. Lorelai's cell phone rang. The greasiest man in the entire place, the owner of the shop, pointed to a "NO CELL PHONES" sign above the grill, Lorelai turned to Luke,
"I guess some things never change. Order me something while I answer this." With that she left the diner.
Lorelai walked out into the car park and over to the jeep. She looked at the screen on the phone, it noted 'Mom' as the caller. She sighed,
"Welcome to hell, your guide is Satan." She answered.
"Lorelai! Why did you go on a road trip and leave Rory at home by herself!" Emily screamed into the phone.
"The coffee needs me." she answered simply.
"Ohhhh…so it's not Luke that needs you?"
"What are you talking about Mom?"
"I know Luke is there with you, Rory told me everything. Are you two together?"
"No! I came with him because…umm…to keep him company! And to help save the coffee from the evil coffee Nazis! Is that the only reason why you rang?" Lorelai asked, eager to change the subject.
"I have arranged for Rory to come and stay with us until you return, you should of informed me of this little trip! I'm not impressed!"
"Are you ever?" Lorelai was getting frustrated.
"Goodbye Lorelai." Emily said, "Call us when you get back." The dial tone followed.
Lorelai stood by the jeep to think for a while. Her mother annoyed her to no end but she had gotten her thinking about why she came on this trip. She was one for spontaneous road trips but they usually took place to run away from something for a few days. Like the one she and Rory took when she had broken it off with Max. She so was scared of her decision that she had to get out of town. This time however, she was unsure of her motives for coming on this trip. Her main argument was the coffee, she lived off the stuff, and it was fitting that she would go on a pilgrimage to get some. But then there was Emily's theory that she was there just to be with Luke. Lorelai didn't really mind that theory herself but she was absolutely sure that wasn't the reason she was here. She and Rory had spent almost all their time in his diner since they both had time off and as shameless as it was, Lorelai had been flirting with Luke the entire time. Her stomach grumbled, so she decided to hang up her thinking cap for now and head back into the diner for some food.
As she pushed open the cheap plastic door, she laughed inwardly at the horrified look on Luke's face. The waitress who was obviously related to the owner in someway, (the grease content was the same) was leaning over the table, giant breasts and chucks of fat streaming over the unsuitably small tank top she was wearing. The women couldn't have been a day younger than fifty and she had the worst teeth imaginable. All this going against her, she still flaunted herself in front of Luke like he wouldn't be able to resist her charms, or smell, either one. Luke saw Lorelai standing in the door and made a 'HELP ME!' plea, just through his facial features. She smiled at him and nodded her head. Walking around to the table where he was sitting, she came up behind him and wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing his cheek.
"Howdy." She said softly into his ear. The waitress retreated immediately, mumbling something about getting their orders as soon as possible. Lorelai sat down.
"Thank you sooo much." Luke said, a sigh of relief followed his comment.
"No problem, although she did seem to be a very lovely women. You sure you weren't missing out?"
"No way, she was trying to persuade me to go back to her place."
"I'm sure you were very eager." Lorelai grinned.
"Yeah, eager to have a shower." They both laughed.
