Title: Life As I Know It
Chapter 11: I Think We're Alone Now
Disclaimer: Do I own Gilmore Girls? No. Do I own Tiffany, the singer, or "I Think We're Alone Now", her song? No. Neither does she. It's the Shondells. Anyway, this might not be historically accurate, but who cares?
This is a dream. This is only a dream.

A very un-pregnant Lorelai and an equally trim Chris grinned at each other across the room. Both fifteen, they were at a twenty-year reunion of some dumb-ass thing. "I Think We're Alone Now" by the Shondells was playing in the background, and had the teenagers been paying attention, they would have caught sight of their drunk mothers singing along. But they could only see each other. They edged closer, and the chorus came from someone.
"Children behave!"
"And watch how you play!"
"They don't understand," Chris muttered to Lorelai. They giggled and headed out of the room. Once they hit the door they started sprinting toward freedom, holding onto one another's hands. They made it to the backyard, and Lorelai spun around, making her five-hundred-dollar-sit-down-only-dress flare out. Chris laughed at her, and then grabbed her and put his hands around her waist. They fell over, laughing giddly together, and then Chris said,
"I think we're alone now. There doesn't seem to be anyone around. I think we're alone now. The beating of our hearts is the only sound."
Lorelai stood up and started singing to him.
"Children behave!"
That's what they say when we're together
"And watch how you play!"
They don't understand and so we're
Running just as fast as we can
Holding onto one another's hand
Trying to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me and we tumble to the ground and then you say
"I think we're alone now
"They're doesn't seem to be anyone around
"I think we're alone now
"The beating of our hearts is the only sound."
Chris pulled Lorelai on top of him, laughing.
