Title: Expect The Unexpected
Lucky Chapter Thirteen: Expect The Unexpected

Disclaimer: I don't own the Gilmore Girls, although I do watch the Gilmore Girls, especially last night, 9/15, because it's the pilot (on the WB at seven/six central) and I hadn't actually seen the pilot, and of course I'm gonna watch on the twenty-fourth, as Lorelai/Chris/Sherry and Rory/Jess/Dean battle it out for the A storyline. Anyway. I'll stop plugging the show.

Lorelai fell asleep not long after the conclusion of The Breakfast Club. Rory was slightly worried about her mother, because for once she hadn't yelled every single one of Judd Nelson's lines with him. Lorelai had also been unusually quiet during Sixteen Candles, too. She hadn't even laughed at Long Duk Dong. Rory slowly got up off of the couch and cleaned up. She threw away the empty ice cream containers, and put the spoons in the sink. She pulled a blanket over her mother, turned off the television, and kissed her on her cheek. Rory gathered her purse and put on her coat and opened the door to a very nervous Luke.

Chris found the diner very empty, and the apartment above it even emptier. There was a note on the table in the family room that included the estimate from the glass place. Chris whistled at the enormous amount. Then a thought hit him. Dean broke the glass. Jess has to pay for the glass. He's not very happy about that. Dean is Jen's dad. Jess wants to hurt Jen's dad. Chris ran out of the house, prepared to fight his father for his girlfriend's.

Jess made it to the second floor of the Inn. He paused in front of room 202, then took the plunge and unlocked the door with the key he had stolen from downstairs. He slowly pushed the door open and stared.

"Luke! What are you doing here?"

"Uh. What are you doing here?"

"Mom was crying into the phone." Rory crossed her arms over her chest and glared. Luke shifted uncomfortably.

"I'm sorry about that. I didn't mean to say that, and then she just ran into the house, and then the diner was ruined, and so I was gonna beat that damn Jones kid, and then Sookie got me feeling bad, and now I don't know what to do. What should I do?" Luke looked so forlorn that Rory felt sorry for him.

"Go buy her something that she'd like. Probably something that's either pink and sparkly or loaded with caffeine. Preferably both. Then sit next to her on the couch and wait for her to wake up. And when she does, tell her how sorry you are for whatever you said, promise to make it up for her, and watch a movie with her and do whatever weird thing she wants to do, and she'll love you even longer than whe would have before. It'll work, Luke, I promise, because it looks like she loves you a lot, maybe even more than she loved my dad. And I love ya, too." Rory pecked Luke on the cheek and got back in her car and drove off.

Chris ran up the front steps of the Dragonfly and arrived breathless at the front desk just in time to see his dad enter a room on the second floor.

"Nonononononononononononononononononono!!!"

Chris ran up the stairs, turning heads in the group of piranhas waiting to kill as he showed wild abandon by screaming and potentially embarrasing his already over-gosipped mother. The death scenes from Romeo and Juliet just kept flashing through his brain.
