Big Surprise In Europe Part 12

Same Summary

Usual Disclaimers Apply

Two days later Rory is in her room laying across her bed talking on the phone.

Rory: School starts in a week.

Rory states in a hushed whisper.

Jess: So that means we need to get together as much as possible.

R: Yes I know.

J: So can you do anything right now?

Lorelai walks to Rory's room, she has some wardrobe problems and needs some help from Rory. Rory's door is closed, she goes to knock when she hears Rory's conversation.

R: Listen boy!

Jess laughs on the other end of phone.

Lorelai realizes that Rory had lied to her, there was a guy. "Ooo I wonder who it is!" Lorelai thought to herself. She stepped away from the door and sat in the living room waiting for her daughter to step out of her bedroom.

Rory emerges from her room, hoping her mom isn't downstairs to stop her. Rory heads to the front door, reaches to grab her jacket when someone calls her. "Oh man!" Rory thinks.

Lorelai: Hey sweets where ya goin?

Rory slowly turned around putting her jacket on.

R: Uh, well I was just going down to the bridge to read.

Rory always carried a book in her jacket, especially now so that she would have an excuse from her mom.

L: Oh ok, when you coming home? Cause I was planning on going to Luke's to eat dinner and pick on him about. Well whatever comes to mind.

R: Uh. I'm not quite sure, it's kinda a long book. I guess it depends on how into it I get.

Lorelai just looked at her daughter, she wasn't lying she could tell. Rory wasn't a very good lire.

L: Oh ok then, well call me on your way home. I'll stop and pick you up and we can head on over to Luke's. Unless it's after ten because I'm going to bed early tonight.

Rory shook her head.

R: Yes ma'am.

Rory exited the house, Lorelai watching her very closely. Once Rory was out of the yard Lorelai then grabbed her own jacket and headed out of the house.

At Luke's Diner

Lorelai just walked in a headed up to the counter.

Luke started to pour Lorelai a cup of coffee.

Lor: No coffee! Luke you have to come with me!

Luke just looked at Lorelai, had he heard her right, did she just say no to coffee?

Lor: Luke you heard me right, no coffee! You have to come with me.

Luke: Lorelai I c.

Lorelai cuts him off.

Lor: LUKE DANES YES YOU CAN! Caesar is back there is he not?

Luke: Yes.

Lor: Ok then come with me it's Rory.

Luke: What? What happened to her is she ok!? Why didn't you say that before?!

Lorelai just rolled her eyes and giggled.

Luke: Why are you laughing what's funny?

Lor: We need to follow Rory.

Luke: Why?

Lor: Because I heard her talking to a guy on the phone earlier and she had told me that there was no guy.

Luke just shook his head, then hollered back to Caeser.

Luke: CEASER I'M TAKING A BRAKE! I'LL BE OUT FOR A WHILE! Hey I'll kick the little pucks butt for ya!

They headed on out the diner.

Lor: I don't think we'll need that quite yet. But thanks Luke, oh and you'll have to wait in line buddy!

Luke: So how do you know where their going to be?

Lor: Well Rory told me that she was going to the bridge to read.

Luke: The one that I pushed Jess into the pond? That bridge?

Lor: Yes that one. And Rory doesn't know I heard her phone call.

Luke: So you were listening in on her phone call?

Lor: No I was going to her room to get some wardrobe help when I heard her yell "Listen Boy!" And I doubt she would be talking to Lane or Paris like that.

Luke: Ah, so what if she's not at the bridge?

Lor: She will be, she thinks I believe her that she's just going to read.

Luke: Oh ok, and what if she is.

Lor: Then I'll just come back to the diner and bug you about coffee and stuff.

Luke: Oh no you won't, if she's out here just reading, by herself. I'll lock my doors! After you dragged me out here, you won't come in and bug me.

Lorelai just laughed.

At The Bridge

Rory and Jess lay in each others arm. They both were reading the book that Rory had brought.

Lorelai and Luke had just gotten there, they were hiding behind some trees at the end of the bridge. But Rory was in the way, they couldn't see the Jess.

Lorelai: Come on lets move up closer.

Grabbing the protesting Luke's arm she pulled him up closer to the end of the bridge so they could get a better look.

Lorelai: Oh my gosh! It isn't?

Luke: Yea. Yes it is!
