Chapter 6- Let the fun begin
[STARS HOLLOW- GILMORE HOUSE]
"Mum hurry up we're going to be late. Again."
" I'm coming I just need to find my purse."
"Hurry up."
"Yes miss cranky pants."
"I'm not cranky. I'm anxious."
"Why anxious."
" It's going to be a big ball with a lot of grandma and grandpa's friends and Dean is there and you remember how grandpa was like at that dinner when he first met Dean."
"Don't remind me. I still have nightmares about defending him."
"You do not."
"Do too. Just last night he was hugging me and thanking me for defending him to you."
"Yeah right. Ready lets go."
"Alright then here we come," replies Lorelai as they walk out of the house to go for their weekly grandparents dinner.
[ HARTFORD- GILMORE HOUSE]
"So Lorelai. Who are you bringing to this ball? "
"Um lets think. Me and me. Yep that's all."
"And me of course."
" Who could forget this little face? "
" You're not brining anyone. Why? "
" Um lets see all the suitable guys are taken and the rest of them are already going, so what is the point?"
"No point." Emily looks away smiling but is caught by Lorelai.
"Why are you smiling? "
"I'm not smiling."
"Yes you are. I know what a smile looks like. I invented the whole concept."
"Whatever Lorelai." Standing up signalling an end to the conversation and starts walking towards the dining table where dinner was laid out. Following close behind her is Lorelai.
"Tell me why you were smiling."
" I wasn't smiling."
"Yes you were. What are you planing on doing to me?"
"Nothing, sit down."
"No, not tell you tell me why you were smiling."
"Lorelai sit down and stop annoying your mother," interrupts Richard.
"But she was smiling."
"I don't care if she was smiling. So Rory, how has your week been? "
" It's been great. Paris has decided to let me have a week of without being constantly tortured by her let's have everything perfect routine. Mum, Sookie and I all found our dresses to the ball. Mum's is a light blue and mine is purple and they are lovely Grandpa. "
"I bet they are. I can't wait to see them tomorrow."
"I can't wait either."
"So what has your mother been up to lately? " Asks Emily from the other side of Rory.
"What, can't asks me yourself?"
" No I just didn't want to listen to your riddle for an answer tonight."
"Um nothing except she has decided to throw food at Luke to get his attention instead of her usual whining at him."
"I do not whine."
"Yes you do," reply three people.
"Ah ha I'm speechless."
"You're never speechless Lorelai. Never have been and never will be. Now eat your dinner."
" I will commence to sit here and pout and not eat."
"Fine, if you don't eat dinner then no coffee with your desert."
"You wouldn't."
"How far are you willing to go."
"Not that far." She picks up her fork and commences to eat her dinner.
[ STARS HOLLOW- LUKE'S DINER]
"Luke."
"Yes a coffee and doughnut already. Sit."
"My hero" Mocks Lorelai in a mocking voice
"Just eat it would you. And don't throw it."
" I wont I promise."
"Luke I suggest you watch your back because she can never keep a promise."
"I will Rory don't you worry."
"Where's Jess? "
"I don't know. But tomorrow can you keep him in line."
"I will."
"Thanks" Thud. A bit of doughnut lands on Luke's hat. Turning around to face a laughing Lorelai.
"I told you she couldn't keep a promise."
"Yeah and I told you no throwing food at me." Thud. Suddenly the room grows silent. Then suddenly Luke, Rory and Jess, who pops out from under the counter, start laughing.
"That was not funny."
"Yes it was"
"No it wasn't."
"Come on Lorelai here is another one. Eat this one and no throwing."
"Ok." Says a pouting Lorelai but she eats the doughnut.
Minutes later after a friendly chat they all head home with promises to see each other tomorrow at the ball. And Luke and Lorelai a promise of a dance together in return for no more throwing of food in the diner.
