"You're doing what for Thanksgiving?" Lorelai Gilmore yelled at her daughter as she walked into their kitchen.

"I'm sorry mom, but Grandma and Grandpa really want me to go with them to the Bahamas, and you know how I can't say no to them." Rory pleaded back to her mother as she followed her into the kitchen. She felt awful springing this on her mom just a few days before the holidays.

"You can sooo say no to them, I've done it for years and it works for me! I have no problems with them!" Rory laughed as her mother said this. How could she say she had no problems with this, lets face it her and Emily were never that close.

"Yes it has worked so good for you, so good in fact that I'm going to be heading to the Bahamas, and you're not!" laughed Rory. "Now come on mom, you know you would go if they invited you."

Lorelai gave up and gave her daughter a hug. "You're right, I'd be packing my bikini right now and singing a little 'Aruba, Jamaica ohh I wanna take ya."

"I think that may have been one of the reasons you weren't invited," said Rory.

"What? The singing or the itsy bitsy bikini?" Responded Lorelai

"I need to pack mom, I just came home to get my Summer wardrobe and some books."

"But what am I going to do Rory???" I will be out in the cold on Thanksgiving, begging for a little turkey and stuffing, with no one to love."

"Stop it mom, you know you'll be fine, now help me pack" whined Rory.

"Okay, okay fine.but only if I can sing the beach boys greatest hits."
