[HARTFORD]
"Drink Lorelai"
" Yeah the usual. Thanks"
" You don't have a usual. What do you want Lorelai"
" Ummm. A martini with one of those funky little umbrellas" Silently whispers to Rory next to her " It's just not big enough to hid me."
" So grandma what has been happening" Asks Rory to try to break the silence.
" Your Grandfather just took on a partner at his work, that's why he isn't here to tonight. My DAR club is having a ball in one week to raise money for the cancer foundation in Hartford. They need money desperately you know."
" I bet they do. They are unprivileged blah blah." Replies Lorelai not looking too happy with her mother.
" Mum that wasn't nice."
" Yes that wasn't a nice thing to say at all Lorelai."
" I know I just thought I'd say something stupid and get it out of the way instead of at the dinner table."
" Well anyway. You are all coming. No excuses. And I will becoming down to Stars Hollow to invite some of your friends to come to."
Gagging on a cherry that was in the drink, Lorelai looks up at her mother.
" You kidding me right. Please tell me your not going to do that."
" Why not its for charity Lorelai. Discussion ended. Now dinner is served." Walking quickly into the dining allowing the girls to follow her.
"Great. Welcome to Emily's world"
" I heard that Lorelai." Throwing a quick disapproving glance over her shoulder.
[STARS HOLLOW- LUKE'S DINER]
" Luke caffeine please I'm dying here."
" Don't forget me too Luke."
" Oh how could I forget the caffeine twins? My day isn't complete without them ordering 20 cups of it."
" And a jelly doughnut. "
" And a plate of fries."
" Make that two."
" Anything else."
" Nope." Luke starts to walk away to get their order.
" Hey Luke."
" I'm not coming back there."
" But we are paying customers."
" Yeah who just want me to walk back over there so you can tell me its nothing. So I will pass."
" Lucas lov." taunts Lorelai
Walking quickly back to the two smiling Gilmore's.
" Please don't Lorelai. What was it you wanted."
" Huh. Nothing."
" I'm going to get your order now."
The girls sit there grinning at his retreating back. " We have to do that more regularly."
" As it is mum we do it to him every time we're in here."
" Do we? I guess not enough then."
" So what about this charity ball of grandmas. If we have to go I'm taking Dean with me. I know Lane wouldn't be allowed to come."
" Miracles do happen missy. I'm just going to go by myself and see what Emily Gilmore thinks of that one."
" Mum that's not nice. You do remember it's for charity."
" Don't remind me."
" Here are your fries."
" Where is our coffee Luke"
" Well if you let me finish I was about to say that your coffee is coming."
" Oh well where is it? It isn't here."
Walking back to the counter he brings the coffee pot and two mugs and quickly remembering their doughnuts brings them too.
" Here is your coffee and doughnuts."
" Thank you Luke."
" Luke" Asks Lorelai to his retreating back.
" What now"
" Where is Jess"
"I don't know."
" Oh you two had a fight didn't you"
" I'm not discussing this with you because it's private."
" Huh I was right. What was it about"
" I'm not talking to you" and starts to walk off again. Suddenly he feels something hit him in the back. Turning round slowly he looks at Rory and Lorelai and slowly walks up to them.
" Want a chip Luke"
" No throwing chips in the diner"
" I didn't throw a chip, did I? Ask Rory here, she never lies."
" Oh just eat your chips and don't throw them at me." Starting to walk back he hears the sound of the door open then shut. Turning round he sees Jess, with a black eye and bloody nose.
" What happened to you"
" Nothing." Replies Jess and stomps upstairs into his room leaving three pairs of eyes staring at him.
" Luke let me talk to him" says Rory and walks slowly up the stairs towards the room.
" Jess. I'm coming in." Looking around the room she spots him sitting on the bed with tears rolling down his face. Closing the distance between them she sits down next to him.
" What happened"
" I'm the bad boy. I got into a fight with some jocks."
" Why"
" Coz they picking on a little dog and I was mad. Mad at Luke, mad at the world but mostly at my mother. She doesn't want me. She left New York and hasn't left me a forwarding address."
" Oh." They sit in silence yeah thinking their own thoughts.
" Come on I think you need to talk to Luke. And you really have to clean this face up."
Laughing he gets up of the bed and walks into the bathroom and sets about cleaning himself up. When he returns he holds his hand out to Rory who takes his and is slowly pulled off the bed.
" Alrightly lets go." And slowly walk down the stairs to the diner.
Sitting down next to her mother Rory starts to eat her almost cold fries and watches as Jess tells Luke what happened.
" Hello wake up in there." Waving her hand in front of her daughter.
" What."
" What's wrong with bad boy over there."
" Just stuff. Don't worry about it. "
" JUST STUFF! Is that all you have to say."
" Jess was blowing off some steam because his mother has really dumped him here for good and he doesn't know where she has gone. Ok."
" Oh. Should keep my mouth shut shouldn't I."
" You tried that before with tape remember and it didn't work."
" Oh yeah. I will keep my mouth open. I'm finished here. Ready to go home."
" Yeah but first can you warn Luke that he can expect a visit form Grandma soon."
" Oh, OK spoilt sport I was going to let him get a surprise. " Getting to the door and opening it, Lorelai turns around to Luke.
" Luke nice meal and expect a visit from Emily Gilmore soon." She quickly walks out the door behind Rory. Walking quickly up the street they here the door open and don't bother to turn round.
" Lorelai stop. What do you mean a visit? What have I done? Lorelai stop." Footsteps are heard as he tries to catch them but they are running down the street laughing and smiling.
