Just One Week… Part Ten

Disclaimer: Though both authors are supremely ingenious, neither came up with the premises for this, or any, show. But the overwhelming creativity has overflowed and the result is what you have before you.

Authors' Note: This is written by two best friends, a blonde and a brunette… quite ironic, but we won't get into any jokes.

Another A/N: Sorry that this has taken so long. And that it's short. The next chapter will be up shortly. Thank you to those who have reviewed our fanfic, we love hearing from you, keep it up. Once again, thank you, and good night.



PART TEN:



Cut to Rory and Lane lounging in their hotel room two days later. (Day 6 of trip)

Lane: I can't believe that we gonna be on national- no, more than national TV!

Rory: Also known as international…

Lane: Too bad they didn't choose us to be reoccurring characters. That would have been awesome. I mean- why should "Auntie Monica" get to be the babysitter.

Rory: That's their way of keeping the costs down. You see, if they had a new babysitter, that would be another whole salary to pay someone.

Lane: Huh?

Rory: And does the fact that we live in Stars Hollow mean anything to you. I mean- either the commute would kill us or your Mom would. Or do you really think your mother would let you move to New York to be an extra on Friends?

Lane: Point well taken… speaking of my mother, I guess I should call her sometime, huh?

Rory: Honestly, I'm surprised she hasn't called again. Lane, what are you doing?

Lane: Hang on, I'm on the phone. Yes, hello. I'm wondering if you could give me the names of some good churches in New York?… Oh good, I've got my pen… Wait- Did I forget to mention that they have to be Korean?… Uh- huh... Then could you send up a phone book?



Cut to Lorelai sitting at the front desk of the Independance Inn, watching the phone intently.

Lorelai: Michel, am I an overbearing mother?

Michel: Do you really want me to answer?

Lorelai: Does that mean yes?

Michel: Do you really want me to answer?

Lorelai: I mean, me and Rory are buds right? It's cool when buds call each other up when the other is on vacation. Right?

Michel: Maybe. If the 'bud' isn't calling twice a day for the entire week. Especially when it's just a week and just a little ways away. But, take for instance my friends... they don't even call me once a week and I've been gone for years.

Lorelai: Aww... I didn't know you had any friends?

Michel: Ha ha. You are an evil woman and I hate you. Go terrorize your diner man.

Lorelai: Don't run away, Michel. I was only kidding. Ha.

Luke: What did you do to him?

Lorelai: Ah! Sorry- you startled me there. Must be the lack of caffeine.

Luke: Nice try. Uh, Lorelai, can I talk to you for a minute?

Lorelai: Sure. Shoot.

Luke: Right. Uh, Lor, it's been two days and I'm running out of things to serve people.

Lorelai: Order more food.

Luke: That's not what I mean.

Lorelai: OK, then I don't follow.

Luke: I'm not the cook or chef or whatever that Sookie is. I can't replace her here. I can make burgers and anything else that clogs arteries, but I'm not into 'flambes' and 'souffles' and things that end in 'es'.

Lorelai: Yeah...

Luke: I was just wondering if you're planning on hiring someone to replace Sookie. At least until she can come back.

Lorelai: But ya see, I'm never gonna be able to find someone who can replace Sookie.

Luke: Then what are you going to serve your customers?

Lorelai: I don't know. But I can't replace her. That would ruin everything.

Luke: Lorelai, you have to realize not everything happens just how you want it to, and when you want it to.

Lorelai: Yeah, but Sookie is a main factor in all of my dreams. Lately they've been put on hold, because of her marriage and now the baby, but I don't want to continue my dreams without Sookie. I don't want to replace her. She's my best friend.

Luke: I know you two are really close, but Lorelai, unless you plan to start cooking for everyone in the place, you need to alter your dreams for the time being. I'm not saying to take Sookie right out of them, but continue on with them. She'll rejoin you when she's ready.

Lorelai: Ugh. You're right and I hate it. And you're probably gonna tell me not to call Rory.

Luke: How did you guess?

Lorelai: You're a wise man, Lucas.
