*~*~*:-)*~*~*Bye, smile :-)
Lorelai got out of the car and closed the door with her hip, her hands occupied with Rory's bag and her own purse.
L: ''God, this bag is heavy. What did you put in them, rocks ?''
Rory jumped out of the car and followed her mom to the door, carrying her other bag.
L: ''Seriously, I think this bag wasn't this heavy back at Yale. You put rocks in it when I wasn't looking, didn't you ?''
Rory rolled her eyes, ignoring her mom's comment as she went into the house. As soon as they were in the house, Lorelai dropped Rory's bag on the floor.
L: ''See, even the sound it made sounded louder than usual. You definitely put rocks or something in it.''
Rory dropped her bag and turned around to face her mom, rolling her eyes.
R: ''That something is called books.''
Rory smiled sweetly at her mom and easily lifted the bag from the floor.
L: ''At least carrying all those books around in Chilton made you stronger.''
Rory turned around and headed for her room, Lorelai right behind her, carrying the lighter one of Rory's bags.
L: ''I like this bag, it's much lighter.''
R: ''That's because my clothes are in there.''
L: ''Okay, now what's wrong with this picture ?''
Rory shrugged and dropped her bag on her bed.
L: ''This is the bag that's supposed to be heavy.''
Lorelai put the bag down and smiled at Rory. She was glad that her daughter was spending summer break with her.
L: ''How about I go order the Indian food you like ?''
R: ''But I thought you couldn't stand the smell of it ?''
L: ''I can't, but I've already come up with a plan to get the smell out. Tomorrow morning, I'll open all the doors and windows, so the wind can air out the whole house.''
R: ''It's not that bad.''
L: ''Oh yes it is.''
R: ''What if there's no wind tomorrow ?''
L: ''Then I'll call upon the spirits of the wind.''
R: ''So Pocahontas of you.''
L: ''I'll go order the food.''
Lorelai got up and left the room, leaving Rory alone to change. Rory didn't even bother to unzip her bag, but went straight to her closet. Since she spend practically every weekend here, she left some of her clothes here too. Besides opening her closet and going through her clothes gave her a warm feeling. One she had missed at Yale. She pulled out a pair of black and white checked PJ bottoms. Rory smiled at the memory of her mom's reaction when she first saw it. Her mom said she looked like a walking chessboard. That was what she had missed the most at Yale, her mom's opinions on stuff. Even though they talked to each other on the phone practically every day. Thanks God for the telephone.
Rory reached for a tank top, but stopped when she caught a glimpse of a black sweatshirt. She reached for the sweatshirt and looked at it for a moment. 'Metallica' was written in red on the front. Rory smiled when she remembered how she got it. Jess got two tickets for their concert and dragged her along with him, though they ended up having a blast. He bought her this sweatshirt, cause she had been cold. It was a caring gesture for Jess. Rory quickly pulled the sweatshirt over her head and lay down on her bed. When Lorelai came back into the room, she found Rory lying on her stomach, hugging a pillow.
L: ''Do you wanna talk ?''
Rory nodded. Lorelai sat down on the bed and started to stroke Rory's back, trying to calm her down. They sat there like that for a while, Lorelai patiently waiting for Rory to talk. Finally Rory said something.
R: ''Mom...........''
L: ''Yes sweets ?''
R: ''When did he come back ?''
L: ''Today. He came in when I was just about to leave.''
R: ''Is he..........I mean...........did he change ?''
L: ''No, he's the same sarcastic............''
R: ''Mom, seriously.''
Lorelai shrugged.
L: ''Not physically.''
There was another silence between them, before Rory said something again.
R: ''Does he know I'm back ?''
L: ''No.''
Suddenly the bell rang and Lorelai got up to answer it.
R: ''I meant to write him, you know ? I tried to call.''
L: ''I know babe.''
Lorelai gave Rory a sympathetic look and left Rory's room. A few moments later, Lorelai appeared at Rory's door again.
L: ''Are you coming or............?''
R: ''No, I'm coming.''
L: ''Okay. Don't forget to put on some perfume, cause this stuff stinks.''
Rory rolled her eyes and followed her mom into the living room, still wearing Jess' sweatshirt.
*~*~*
The next morning, Rory was awoken by her mom, who decided that practically jumping on top of her was a fun way to wake her up.
R: ''Go away.''
L: ''But lover boy's on the phone.''
Lorelai waved the phone in front of Rory's face. Rory yawned and turned around, rubbing her eyes.
R: ''Who ?''
L: ''Billy. Not the Crawford kid though.''
Rory stopped rubbing her eyes and took the phone.
R: ''Hey Billy.''
B: ''Morning angel heart. I'm sorry if I woke you, I just wanted to talk to you.''
R: ''That's okay. And you didn't wake me up, my mom did. By jumping on top of me.''
B: ''Maybe she thought you were a trampoline ?''
R: ''Right, cause we both know how much I look like a trampoline.''
B: ''Exactly. Oh and I'm also sorry for not being the Billy you're mom expected.''
R: ''Okay, what ?''
B: ''She obviously expected Billy Crawford, but unfortunately I'm not him. Besides I can't sing..........or dance.''
Rory laughed.
L: ''What did he say ? Did he propose ?''
R: ''Hold on Billy, I need to throw my mom off my bed.''
B: ''Take your time.''
Rory covered the phone with her hand and shot her mom an annoyed look.
R: ''Either be quiet or leave.''
L: ''Yes sir.''
Rory ignored her mom's comment and went back to the phone.
R: ''I'm back.''
B: ''Hey, do you have any plans for today ?''
R: ''No, why ?''
B: ''I wanted to come and visit you. It's been a while since I visited Stars Hollow.''
R: ''Sure.''
B: ''I'll be there in 2 hours, that will give time enough to worry about your clothes.''
R: ''Jerk.''
B: ''Bye............''
She could hear Billy chuckle before he hung up. Rory hung up too and smiled at her mom.
R: ''He's coming to see me.''
L: ''When ?''
R: ''Today, he'll be here in two hours. Oh my God, two hours !''
L: ''That's what you said.''
R: ''I don't know what to wear. I only brought a few clothes.''
Rory immediately got up and started going through her bag. Lorelai just sat there and looked at her daughter, glad that she wasn't sad anymore.
*~*~*
By the time the doorbell rang, Rory was fully dressed in a gray knee length skirt and a blue hippie shirt. She was sitting on the couch, feeling the way she did when she has her first date with Billy. Lorelai got up and opened the door.
L: ''Hey Billy boy, long time no see.''
Billy laughed.
B: ''Hey Lorelai.''
He quickly hugged her and stepped into the house.
R: ''Hi.''
B: ''Hey angel heart.''
Rory smiled when she saw Billy's clothes and shook her head. He was wearing a pair of faded jeans and an orange shirt. His brown curls hung in front his eyes like usual, hiding his intense and happy, green eyes.
R: ''I'm overdressed.''
L: ''Emphasis on the over.''
B: ''You look fine.....................for a date. Rory, is this a date ?''
Rory smiled at Billy.
R: ''I'm going to change.''
B: ''Or I could change. I could barrow one of your dresses, put on some heels. I probably can't walk in them and fall flat on my face, but I don't care, cause they look cute underneath one of those dresses. Lorelai could even do my make-up, right ?''
L: ''Definitely. I think red is your color.''
R: ''I'll be back.''
B: ''Make it a flowery dress !''
When Rory came out of her room again, she was wearing dark flares and a casual shirt that said: 'I have a split personality'. She made her way over to the living room and found both Lorelai and Billy standing in front of the TV, jumping or something in that direction.
R: ''What are you two doing ?''
L: ''Hey hon, we're trying to dance like Justin Timberlake................. He sucks by the way.''
B: ''I didn't say I could dance.''
L: ''Yes you did.''
B: ''Not like JT anyway.''
Lorelai stopped 'dancing' and looked at Billy.
L: ''Then like who ?''
B: ''Billy Crawford of course. I mean we obviously share the first name, but we share the dance moves too. He got them from me.''
Rory smiles when she saw how great her mom and Billy could get along. They almost had the same sense of humor and they could argue for hours about something stupid like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Her mom said that it was just a publicity stunt, so people would think the rainbow was cool. And Brian of course would disagree. He thought that the pot of gold was there for poor people. Only they knew the way to the end of the rainbow. And then Lorelai would ask if the gold wouldn't look a little suspicious when they would buy groceries or something and it all went downhill and even more childish from there.
L: ''Oh really...........then prove it. I think we have a Billy Crawford cd lying around. I could put it on and then you could show me your amazing dance moves.''
B: ''Yeah, maybe later.''
L: ''Why ? Afraid that your girlfriend will find out that you can't dance ?''
B: ''No.''
L: ''Then why not ?''
B: ''Cause Rory and me are going out and besides, you probably couldn't even find the cd.''
L: ''That's what you think.''
R: ''We're going now, bye.''
B: ''Bye Lorelai.''
L: ''Ah.........now you're quoting songs from N*sync.''
B: ''What ?''
R: ''You know, bye bye bye.''
B: ''Oh.........., but I only used one bye.''
R: ''Just ignore her.''
L: ''Billy Crawford will be waiting for you when you get back !''
Billy smiled as he followed Rory outside. Once they were outside he reached for her hand and pulled her closer. Rory smiled when he did this. He was so nice to her.
R: ''So, where are we going ?''
B: ''Luke's.''
Rory suddenly stopped walking, forcing Billy to stop too.
B: ''What's wrong ?''
R: ''I already had coffee.''
B: ''But I haven't. Besides, I thought you could never have too much coffee, right ?''
Rory nodded and forced herself to walk over to Luke's. She knew she couldn't hide from Jess forever. And she shouldn't, cause they were friends........... Well, that was what they had agreed anyway, but so far neither of them had acted like a 'friend'. He didn't even know that she was back and he didn't even know that she knew that he was back. Rory knew she was confusing herself, but she also knew that things were about to get a lot more confusing..........
