They check in and they are on the lower floor, while Jess and Rory are on the higher floor, they then go get food along the boardwalk, and they go past the beach and they get to Jimmy's hot dog vender and they see Jimmy working, Luke walks up to Jimmy

Luke- Hi Jimmy

Lorelai- and don't forget Rory

Jimmy- they are at the bookstore "Venice Books", they have Lily with them

Luke- ok cool, so how are Sasha and Lily

Luke- good, so you're still with them

Jimmy hands Luke the hot dogs and Lorelai takes the drinks, she hands Jimmy the money

Jimmy- I've changed Luke

Luke- will see (and they walk away)

Lorelai- I know you hate that man, but do you have to be rude

Lorelai followed Luke to the Literature section and they saw Jess and Rory sitting in each other's arms, reading "Steppenwolf" By Hermann Hesse, they walked up to them

Rory and Jess Look up

Rory- mom, Luke what are you guys doing down here

Lorelai- well we decided to visit and we come barring gifts (she hands Jess and Rory the Coffee and Biscotti) careful it's hot

Rory- thanks mom (she gets up and hugs her) I love you

Sasha- my goodness you and Rory look so much a like

Lorelai- thank-you

Sasha- well would you like to come in or do you have other plans

Luke- actually we were going to pick up Lily and go down to the beach with Jess and Rory, and then maybe go out for a bite to eat

Sasha- well I have a better idea, why don't you come over here for dinner we could order pizza and watch movies the Gilmore way

Lorelai- you heard about that

Sasha- actually I lived it, and I thought we were the only ones to do it like that

Lorelai- really, you know what Sasha (goes up to her and puts her arms intertwined with Sasha's) I think this is a start for a beautiful friendship between us

Sasha- 7

Lorelai- ok great, Sasha will talk to you then come on Lucas

Luke- bye, Sas see you then

Sasha- bye guys

Luke and Lorelai walk to Ana's House

Luke- you are aware that I don't get along with Jimmy right

Lorelai- yes, but if Jess wants Jimmy to be in his life, then you and Jimmy are going to at least have to get along, you don't have to like each other but you do have to get along

Luke- but I can't my hate for him is so strong

Lorelai- Luke please… do it for Jess do it for me if not for him then me

Luke- fine, I'll do it for both of you

Lorelai- thanks you wont regret it, I promise (she kisses him they get to Ana's house)

They knock on Ana's Door

Ana's Sister opens the door

Hi, you must be Luke and Lorelai

Lorelai- yup

My name is Avery; I am Ana's sister

Luke- well hi Avery, we are here to pick up Lily to go to the beach Ana can join us if she wants too

Avery- (calls for Ana and Lily) will you Guys come here

Ana and Lily walk in to view

Lily- Luke

Luke- Lily how are you sweetheart

Lily- I am good, how are you

Luke- I am good; this is Lorelai Rory's mother

Lily- hi nice to meet you, this is Ana (points to her friend)

She is the same height as Lily and has blonde hair, and bright blue eyes, she has a tan, her and her sister look a lot alike except Avery has a lighter blonde hair color.

Ana- hi

Lorelai- how are you

Ana- good, you?

Lorelai- good, would you and Lily like to come to the beach with my daughter Rory and her boyfriend Jess, as well as Luke and I?

Lily and Ana- ok

Ana- Can I go Avery?

Avery- did you finish cleaning your room

Ana nodded her head

Avery- ok well you know your sleeping over at Lily's tonight right

Ana- I am

Avery- yeah remember I have to work and you're not allowed to be home alone

Ana- that's this week, I forgot sorry

Avery- why are you apologizing, you're allowed to forget

Ana- ok well I hope you have fun at work tonight

Avery- thanks and I know your going to have a blast, so go get your bathing suites on and get your bag Ana

Ana and Lily- ok (they are no longer in the living room)

Lorelai- where do you work, that you are going to have fun, if you don't mind my asking

Avery- I work in the day care center every other week, so Ana sleeps over at Lily's for three out of seven days of the week, and the other two I get off early so I pick her up.

Lorelai- sorry for being so rude but where are your parents

Avery- no problem, they died when I turned 18, and they left us some money so I could take care of Ana and not have to put her in the system, right now I am 20 and I've been taking care of her since she was 11, I finished high school but I haven't gone to college yet, and I am probably not going to for a while.

Lorelai- I am sorry, but it's good that Ana can have a good chance at life instead of being put in the system, and she has you, and it looks like your doing a very good job.

Avery- thanks (Ana and Lily walk in to the entrance)

Ana- were ready to go

Avery- ok Ana, you be good for Sasha and I will call you I promise  (Avery hugs her sister) and be careful

Ana- ok bye Avery I'll talk to you later

Avery- bye Lily, (she hugs Lily) have fun you two

Lily- bye, we will

Lorelai- ok guys let's get going, Bye Avery it was nice meeting you

Luke- it was, bye

Avery- bye guys

Lily, Luke, Lorelai and Ana are walking on to the sidewalk

Lorelai- Ana, your bag that you have for Lily's, give it to me I'll go give it to Sasha

Luke- do you want us to come

Lorelai- no you have to go meet Rory and Jess there waiting

Luke- ok will meet you at the book store (he kisses her) I love you

Lorelai- I love you too, bye guys

Ana and Lily- bye Lorelai, see you soon

Luke, Ana, and Lily start walking towards the bookstore and Lorelai goes to Sasha's house, Lorelai gets to Sasha's to see her walking out of the door

Lorelai- Sasha wait, here is Ana's bag

Sasha- I was just going to go get it, (she walks up to Lorelai and takes it)

Lorelai- well I am here to give it to you

Sasha- well thanks, (she puts the bag in to the house then locks it again) so I am on my way towards the beach, would like to walk with me

Lorelai- I would be delighted to, so I need to talk to you

Sasha- ok shoot

Lorelai- you know how we have dinner tonight, well I noticed Luke and Jimmy don't get along

Sasha- when did you notice that

Lorelai- when we got hot dogs at inferno and Jimmy and Luke weren't really communicating like they like each other, actually Luke was being rude and Jimmy took it

Sasha- I know, it's because Jimmy left Liz and everything went downhill from there, but things have changed since then

Lorelai- Jimmy said that, but Luke didn't believe him

Sasha- I have no idea, how to convince Luke that Jimmy changed, that he isn't the Jimmy he use to know

Lorelai- well I think that we should at least get them to interact with each other they don't have to like each other, but cant they at least be civil, we should use tonight as a way to seal the crack between them.

Sasha- I agree lets brainstorm ways to do that, and do it tonight because I think Jess would still like to be in contact with Jimmy, and Luke is going to have to except that.

Lorelai- I told him that, tonight let's look for signs of a way to bring them together and were in town till the 5th of July or even longer where not sure yet.

Sasha- well back in high school they were best friends and they use to play sports together, tonight we should play basket-ball and then everyone leave when they are so caught up in the competition and let them tell each other why they are mad at each other.

Lorelai- that might-work for a few hours, the rest we can worry about it when it comes up, they are going to be friends if it's the last thing we do.

Sasha- yes we are, so I enjoyed are talk and I have to go this way now

Lorelai- ok bye Sasha

Sasha- bye Lorelai

Lorelai walk over to the bookstore and meets up with everybody they then go to the beach and they all go swimming and they are there till 6, they get there stuff together and they then go back to the hotel and they each take turns in the showers, and they change in to there clean, and dry clothes and they hang up the wet ones on the balcony, to dry then at 6:55 they walk over to Sasha' s house and get prepared to eat dinner, with the family.
