4.01 - "Homecoming Queens"
A/N: This is my version of Season 4 of Gilmore Girls. I'm assuming that Rory finished school in May (since that's when the finale was) and have them returning from Europe in June. This story is AU based on the actual show though. Each story will be a different episode, but won't be written in script form (it's a pain to read a scripted fanfic).
Rating: probably PG, PG-13 to be safe (I think the B-word is in there somewhere).
Disclaimer: I am in no way affiliated with the show Gilmore Girls, the creator, writers, or cast and crew. No monetary profits are being made on my part.
Teaser
June arrived quickly in Stars Hollow, and on Friday the 27th, the Hartford airport braced itself for the impact of a Gilmore reunion.
Sookie St. James was waiting at the gate for international arrivals. To the casual observer she appeared to be just another person waiting for a loved one to return. Lane Kim stood beside her, holding a thermos full of coffee, maintaining a considerable distance from the woman who was prone to exuberant displays when she was excited; Lane was afraid she'd get knocked over or something of the like.
"Flight number 743 from London, Heathrow has now arrived," an annoyingly perky voice chirped over the intercom. At the announcement, Lane and Sookie squealed in excitement. The already enthusiastic Sookie seemed to up her excitement a notch, startling passers-by.
A few minutes later, Lorelai and Rory Gilmore stepped out of the gate and into the baggage area. Upon seeing Sookie and Lane they waved and rushed over to greet them.
Hugs were given all around, and in true Gilmore Style, everyone began talking at once.
"So, how much fun did you have?" Lane asked.
"Tons," Rory replied.
"Is that coffee?" Lorelai made a grab for the thermos in Lane's hand.
"Are you drunk?" Sookie laughed, watching as Lorelai almost fell over reaching for the thermos.
"I told her that those airline drinks pack a whollop!" Rory rolled her eyes.
"Did not," Lorelai pouted, once again reaching for the thermos.
"Let's get your bags and you can tell us all about your trip," Sookie suggested, leading them to the two huge backpacks that were revolving around on the conveyer belt.
Rory looked at the thermos in Lane's hand. "Is that -"
"Coffee from Luke's," Lane grinned. She quickly yelped in surprise as both Rory and Lorelai pounced.
"Hey!" Rory cried indigently.
Lorelai sniffed and took a sip of the coffee. She scowled. "This isn't Luke's coffee!"
"Why'd you lie?" Rory seemed insulted.
"I didn't," Lane replied defensively.
"Ceasar made it," Sookie explained. "Luke doesn't get back from his cruise for another two weeks. Rory pouted and grabbed her huge bag, hoisting it up on her shoulder as Lane did the same with Lorelai's.
"Ready?" Sookie nudged Lorelai in the arm, and gesturing to where Rory and Lane had headed to the parking payment stalls.
"Yeah, sorry," Lorelai stuttered, waking up from the stupor she'd been in since she heard the word cruise. She stared momentarily down at the coffee in her thermos, an unreadable expression on her face. She them hurried and caught up to the others.
Roll Credits.
