'Come on Elle wake up,' Eleanor Fitzgerald said while trying to shake her
daughter awake.
'5 more minutes please mum,' said Ellie snuggling into her blanket.
'Ah how cute I think I might get the camera out, snuggling in to her blankie and sucking her thumb, she could almost be mistaken for a baby,' said Eleanor trying to awaken her daughter.
'Shut up,' slurred Ellie.
'Come on please Ellie were finally here, just for christ sake take a look around.'
Ellie opened her eyes and got up out of her seat, 'wow it's so small.'
'I know, that's half the reason why I choose it here,' said Eleanor proud of her decision to move to the small town.
'Yeah it takes a lot of decision making putting your finger on a map, great call mum,' said Ellie checking the time. 'Mum it's 6.36 nothing will be open, can't we sleep in the back of the car?'
'No see that place looks like it is opened lets check it out,' said Eleanor grabbing hold of her daughters hand while she protested. 'It might have coffee,' said Eleanor stepping up the pace.
'OMG I hope it does, and I hope it is good, cause for the last three days I've only had crappy diner coffee,' said Ellie opening the door.
'No wonder you've been cranky,' said Eleanor as they looked around the diner. 'I think we need to counter it.'
'Ditto.'
'What can I get you?' asked a man in a flannel shirt.
'Hi can I get the biggest humongous coffee you have?' mum asked.
'Sorry it's all ready taken,' said a lady next to us.
'Well then I will have to take yours,' said mum moving next to the lady.
'Sorry no can do, I don't share, I'm not that type of person,' she said smiling.
'Well then I might have to use force,' mum said threatening.
'Oh ho wait up no one said anything about fighting, cause I left my nun checker's at home.'
'Mum how many times have I told you? You really need to take them every where with you, cause coffee does this to people!' said a girl next to her.
'I know but they were in the wash,' she said disappointedly.
'You washed? And you didn't tell me?' asked the girl shaking her head.
'I'm so sorry it's just you were asleep.'
'There going to be at that for a while,' said the flannel man again.
'Right,' I said taking my eyes off them.
'So what can I get you besides coffee?' he asked to my mother.
'Chocolate Chip pancakes with fries!' said Eleanor excitedly.
'You'll have to excuse her she hasn't had her sugar intake for the last 24 hours,' I said patting my mothers shoulder.
'Well at least I'm not having coffee withdrawal symptoms,' said snapped.
'Ok I would get the coffee right now, she's going to explode,' I said laughing.
'What would you like?' he said ignoring my comments.
'A bigger coffee then hers,' I said pointing to my mothers coffee, 'and strawberry muffin and blueberry pancakes.'
'Hmm crazy new people,' he mumbled pouring me my coffee.
'Thanks you're a god,' I said smiling.
'I called dips on being god though,' said Eleanor complaining.
'That was yesterday and that was being a bitch,' I corrected her.
'Really? Ah well I'm dipped on God tomorrow,' she said sipping her coffee.
'Ok, as long as you don't wake up yelling "I have a dream" and command me round all day,' I said looking out the window.
After five minutes of sitting in silence our food finally arrived.
'Coffee kills and clogs the artery's,' said the flannel man.
'Wow a health safety warning with each service of food,' said Eleanor smiling.
'You can't say I didn't warn you,' he said moving away after giving us our check.
'Why thanks.'
'So are you girls just passing by?' asked the lady next to us.
'No were actually moving here,' Eleanor said turning to her.
'Oh well it'll be nice to have a new face around, I'm Lorelai by the way and this is my spawn, Rory,' she said pointing to the girl next to her.
'It's nice to meet you, I'm Eleanor and this is my little fetus Ellie,' mum said pointing at me, and squeezing my cheek.
'Wow you look really young, we thought you were sisters or something,' said Rory excited.
'No I had this little tike when I was 15.'
'After breakfast do you want us to show you around? That is if you haven't seen it already,' said Lorelai looking at Rory.
'That would be great!' said Eleanor excitedly, squeezing my hand.
Mum should be proud she's made a friend already.
'5 more minutes please mum,' said Ellie snuggling into her blanket.
'Ah how cute I think I might get the camera out, snuggling in to her blankie and sucking her thumb, she could almost be mistaken for a baby,' said Eleanor trying to awaken her daughter.
