A/N: I do not own any of these characters. Sorry about the length of the chapters, they are sort of short, and also the characters arent quite them selves yet, sorry!





Jess looked at his watch. 8:05, he hoped the girls were late so he didn't have to suffer with Lorelai telling him off.

"We are only 5 minutes late, shouldn't matter. They say planes don't leave until 2 hours after they were planned anyway." Luke huffed as they pulled their luggage out of the truck.

"What if all was right with the world and the planes leave freakishly early?"

"Jess, quiet! And carry this suitcase."

"Fine fine."

~*~*~*~ At the Gilmore house.... ~*~*~*~

"MOM! I can't believe your alarm didn't go off! You threw it against the wall again didn't you?"

"Well...."

"Oh it doesn't matter now, even though its almost 8:15 and it takes a half an hour to drive to the airport."

"Ok, just get dressed really quick Rory and meet at the front door with your suitcase in five minutes. Got it cadet?"

Rory saluted "Mam yes mam!"

"Okay one, two, three go!"

They both ran to their rooms and got dressed and then both ran for the bathroom.

"Mom, do you know were my toothbrush is?"

"It's packed remember."

"Oh, my brain is out the window. It must be the lack of coffee."

"COFFEE! Oh no, I planned we would stop at Luke's on the way out and they are already gone!"

"Sooo, don't we have some?"

"No, we ran out about a month ago and since I made up with Luke I didn't need to buy anymore."

"Guess we will have to run into Big Al's"

"Why can't we go to the diner Rory?" Lorelai whined.

"Even Al's coffee is better than Ceaser's coffee."

"Fine you win."

They were about to run out the door. "Tickets need tickets!" chanted Rory.

Lorelai's eyes got big and round. "Umm uh oh..."

"Mom you didn't did you?"

"Ha, got you! They are in my pocket!" As she said that Lorelai pulled out two wrinkled, damaged tickets.

Rory just sighed and said "I hope they take those, it looks like we have had them for years."

"You know I never thought of that."

They shut the door and ran to the jeep and gunned it down the road.

~*~*~*~ At the airport ~*~*~*~

"God, where are they? They are so lucky our flight has been delayed for an hour and a half."

Jess looked at his watch, 8:55.

Suddenly he saw the two girls running towards them.

"You" Luke said pointing to Lorelai and Rory "are late!"

"Wow you sound more like Jess everyday." Lorelai replied.

Luke looked confused and the other three just laughed. They got to the front desk and handed in their tickets.

Jess said "Oh god, how did your tickets get like that?" while he was looking at something he couldn't quite indentify.

"I left mom to ticketsit them."

"Well that's explains it doesn't it?" Jess muttered under his breath.

"Hey I did a good job, Sammy and Alex are still here aren't they?" she said proudly

"You named the tickets?!" Luke said looking at her. "I hope you didn't like them too much." Just as he said that they got to the front of the line and the lady took their tickets.

Lorelai smiled and said "Bye Sammy, bye Alex. I am gonna miss you!"

The woman at the desk just stared at her and said politely "Your flight will leave in 25 minutes."

The four turned at walked away from the counter and sat on a bench waiting for their plane to arrive.

"I really am going to miss those tickets, they went through so much. I mean I put them through the washer and drier twice, spilled coffe and chinese food on them, Alex was stuck to the gum on my shoe at one point..."

"Oh that's gross mom!"

"No wonder they look so neat and clean." Jess said sarcastically.

~*~*~*~ 15 minutes later... ~*~*~*~

"Will all passengers riding flight #34 to HA please come through the gates and start boarding the planes."

"Thats us." Luke said.

"Of course it is silly." Lorelai said. "Do you think we will get to go through the fun metal detector things?!?!"

"Yeah I'm pretty sure they want to put you through." said Jess.

"Hey mister, your the bad boy here."

"Look mom, metal detectors!"

"Yay, come on Rory lets leave the boys here!"

The two ran off to play with the metal detectors and left Luke and Jess behind.

Luke shook his head and said "You know those two cannot sit next to each other on the plane, right?"

"Yeah, the whole place would be in danger, they might run up to the cock pit and press buttons till they get coffee or airplane peanuts for that matter. Rory said they had never been on a plane and they had made this deal that they would try the nasty peanuts."

"Uh oh." Was all Luke had to say.

Rory and Lorelai had already skipped aroud a couple of corners and were at the metal detectors. Luke and Jess could see them running through it time after time.

Jess said "Rory I know you like the metal detectors but you should only go through once."

"Very funny Jess, but everytime we go through we have something metal on, this is so frustrating!"

*Beep Beep*

"AAhhh! Luke this is not fair!"

"Ma'am there's a ring on your finger."

"Oh, sorry." Lorelai went through the detector again."Home free" she said and grinned.

"Me too." Rory said as she went through.

*Beep Beep*

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" Lorelai chanted as Jess got stuck inside the the metal detector.

They finally all got out, Luke was the only one that got through semi- easily.

"You know, Rory, metal detectors go in the same catagory as foot rests. Okay?"

"That's what I was thinking. I can't believe I got stopped for my hairclips!"

~*~*~*~ On the plane ~*~*~*~

"Aww, why can't I sit next to Rory?" Lorelai whined.

"Jess and I decided it would be safest for the metal and pysichal health of the people on the plane if the order went: Rory, Jess, Lorelai, Luke."

"I got the aisle sit, I will steal some peanuts for us." Rory giggled as she saw the stewardress come up the aisle."

"Eww, I am boy-trapped." joked Lorelai.

Jess gave his uncle the "This is going to be a very long trip." look.
