***************************
Around one thirty Sookie, Jackson, and Jackson's niece arrived at the house. With them they also brought in the cold air and snow that permeated the air outside. Everyone exchanged hellos, hugs, and kisses and finally Jackson introduced his niece.
" Everyone this is Marie." Jackson stated placing his arm around the girl who looked about sixteen. Jackson introduced everyone else while Marie smiled politely and when she turned her gaze she locked eyes with Harrison.
" Hi." Harrison stated sticking out his hand.
" Hello." Marie replied smiling softly to herself, because Harrison still held her hand and was staring at her. She wasn't complaining though, Harrison was the most handsome boy she'd ever seen. He was tall, with muscles showing through his dark green sweater, black hair and piercing dark blue eyes.
" Oh sorry." Harrison said embarrassingly once he realized why she was blushing so. He immediately dropped her hand, and placed his in the pockets of his jeans.
" It's okay." Marie said smiling, " So, how old are you?"
" Sixteen, you?" Harrison asked. He couldn't help just staring at her. To him she was the most beautiful person he'd ever met. She had dark, loosely curled, brown hair that bounced with her every movement, sparkling green eyes, and an enchanting smile.
" Sixteen." Marie responded.
" Hey you two! Come on, it's time to eat!" Shane called from the dining room.
" Coming!" Harrison stated, "I guess we'd better go." He said as he began to walk down the hall.
Marie smiled to herself again, " Wow." She thought to herself as she dropped her gaze from Harrison's eyes.
" It's about time you two joined us." Lorelei said winking at Harrison. Harrison blushed and pulled up a seat next to his mischievous grandmother. Across from him sat Marie.
" Okay, let me say thanks and then we may eat." Jess said as he folded his hands, bowed his head, and said a prayer to bless the food. Immediately after, everyone began digging into the piles of food that adorned the table.
" Marie, where are you from?" Lane asked.
" Originally from Virginia, but my family is in the process of moving to Stars Hollow. I'm staying with Uncle Jackson until the house is finished." Marie stated placing a scoop of mashed potatoes on her plate.
" Oh great! You can come over and have movie night with me, like Rory used to do." Lorelei said happily.
" Lorelei, I'm sure Marie will not want to spend her evenings watching Willie Wanka with you." Luke stated.
" Well you're welcome to come over here whenever you want." Rory said smiling at Luke and Lorelei. " I'm sure you and Harrison will get along just fine."
" Yes fine indeed." Lorelei said smiling. Harrison nudged his grandmother under the table, which just made Lorelei giggle all the more.
" Hey ma, where's Grandma Emily and Grandpa Richard?" Shane asked.
" Oh, yes, grandma called a little while ago and said they couldn't make it to dinner but they'd be here at four for dessert." Rory said passing the gravy to Dave.
" Do you remember those awful Friday meals?" Lorelei asked Rory.
" Yes I do, and I didn't find them awful. I actually had fun watching you and grandma go back and forth at each other!" Rory stated laughing at the memory.
" Yes, well at least Someone found them enjoyable." Lorelei said grinning as she smoothed out the mashed potatoes on her plate.
" So Dave, how's your music store coming along?" Jess asked.
" Great, yeah Lana helps me after school everyday running the cash machine, and Lane has decided to give drumming lessons in the back room of the store." Dave said as he proudly patted Lane on the back.
" Good for you Lane!" Rory exclaimed, " Lana, if your mom had never learned to play the drums or started her old band, your parents may have never met."
" I know she likes to tell me the story of their meeting, the band, and his proposal a lot. I have it memorized actually." Lana said laughing.
" Harrison, since you're done, could you go get some more wood from outside so I can start another fire." Jess asked.
" Sure." Harrison said rising from his seat.
" I'll help." Marie stated, quickly getting up. As they both walked out of the room they ended up underneath the mistletoe.
" Hey Hey! Looks like you two have to kiss!" Lorelei exclaimed happily.
" Grandma." Harrison started to say, but he was immediately interrupted though by Marie kissing him square on the lips.
" Yeahhhhh!" Lane exclaimed clapping. Soon everyone was giggling.
" Come on, let's go get that wood." Marie stated walking to the back door.
" Did that just happen?" Harrison thought to himself as he followed Marie outside.
Before he stepped outside he heard his grandmother say, " Mistletoe.don't you love it?!"
He had to agree.mistletoe was definitely a new found favorite of his.
