"Well? Was your day as insanely boring as mine?" Lorelai asked as she plopped down on the couch.

"Sorry to disappoint."

"Ah, that's alright. I am just glad to be home."

"How bad was it?"

Lorelai rolled her eyes. "You have no idea. I swear, if a Wall Street Newspaper salesman called the Inn today, I would have started a subscription."

"You can do better." Rory encouraged.

"Your right. Ah, it was so boring that I would have voluntarily gone to my parent's house for afternoon tea."

"You get better every time."

"It was so boring that I would have gone out on a date with a guy Ms. Patty chose for me."

"Okay, now that's just scary."

"Your right. It was so boring," Lorelai started.

"Mom, I kind of get the point."

Lorelai laughed. "Just making sure. So, what did you do today?"

"I did all my homework, did laundry, and ate at Luke's."

"Short but to the point. I like it."

Rory smiled. "There's really nothing to say."

Lorelai nodded. "You went to Luke's. Did you talk to Jess?"

"Yeah."

"Is he still with Shane?"

"No."

"Did you decide?" Lorelai asked.

"About Jess and Dean?"

"Yes. This is beginning to feel like a soap opera. Every week, I wonder, is she going to pick the good guy or the bad guy?"

Rory sighed. "I don't really feel like talking about this right now."

"Well, let me be the first to know."

Rory laughed. "Of course."

"Keep in mind, daughter of mine, that I am getting slightly impatient here."

Rory rolled her eyes. "That's no surprise."

The telephone rang. Lorelai stared at it, obviously deciding whether or not to pick it up.

"It could be Christopher. Or Mom."

"You'll never know unless you pick it up." Rory helpfully said.

Lorelai sighed, and picked up the phone. She closed her eyes. "Hello?" she croaked.

Lorelai handed the phone to Rory. "It's safe."

Rory shook her head. "Hello?"

"Hey Rory!" Lane chirped.

"Lane! I am so glad to hear from you! Aren't you at the retreat?"

"I am. I only have two minutes to talk though. I'm supposed to be downstairs for lecture, but I sneaked into the main office, and I'm using their phone."

Rory raised her eyebrows. "Won't you get caught?"

"Probably. But I just had to tell you something. Henry is at this retreat!"

"Henry from Chilton?"

"Yes! I am having such a blast here. I wish I didn't have to go back to Stars Hollow tomorrow. No offense."

Rory grinned. "None taken."

"Well, I have to go, but I'll try to see you tomorrow."

Rory smiled. "Bye. Tell Henry I said 'hi'."

"Will do. Bye."

Rory hung up the phone and smiled. It was nice to know that someone's life was going smoothly. "So, I'm thinking burger and fries." Lorelai said, interrupting Rory's thoughts.

"What?"

Lorelai picked up her jacket and purse. "Dinner. Luke's"

"Simple but to the point. I like it." Rory grinned, as she grabbed her coat.

Lorelai raised her eyebrows in mock surprise. "Are we resorting to plagiarism?"

"Maybe."









Lorelai and Rory entered Luke's Diner, and approached the counter. Luke had just finished ringing up a customer. He looked at his watch, and shook his head. "I swear, you guys spend about a third of your life in this diner."

"Are you sure about that? My calculations gave me a different number." Lorelai claimed.

"Think of it this way, Luke," Rory suggested, "We could be mascots."

Luke turned to Lorelai. "She gets it from you."

"Thank you." Lorelai beamed.

Luke took their orders, and walked back into the kitchen. Jess walked downstairs, carrying a book in his hand. He looked at Rory and smiled.

"Native Son."

Rory nodded in approval. "Great book. Terrible movie."

The two exchanged a small smile. Lorelai noticed this, and tried to hide her laughter.

"I better get those burgers." Jess mumbled, and started walking to the kitchen.

"Don't forget the fries!" Lorelai called out, and smiled at her daughter.
