I own nothing but my sanity- and I'm starting to wonder about that too.
Chapter One- Yale, conspiracies, and Dawson's Creek
The bells above the door in the diner jingled as Lorelai walked in. As she made her way to her stool by the counter, her cell phone rang. She reached into her purse and answered it as she sat down.
"yea?" She said.
"you don't sound grumpy at all" Rory said sarcastically from the other line.
"Darn! And that's the tone I was going for too!. What's up?"
"Can't a daughter just call the person who raised her to have an innocent conversation?"
"Innocent? A Gilmore conversation, innocent? never!"
"I have to bail on you this weekend."
"What? Rory....we were going to have a Hitchcock movie marathon" she pouted.
"I know, I'm sorry. I have to study for a midterm type thing and I have to write this huge editorial for the paper."
"Lorelai...off the phone, you know the rules." Luke barked as he came from the kitchen and returned to his usual stance behind the counter.
"But Luke...It's Rory..."
"Oh, tell her I said hi. You have 2 minutes."
"Luke said hi." Lorelai said as she returned to her conversation with her daughter.
"Aw, tell him I miss him and I'm sorry I won't be home this weekend."
"Hey, I didn't even get that much!" Lorelai said.
"Just tell him..." Rory groaned.
"I will, I love you babe."
"I love you too mom, bye."
Lorelai clicked off her phone.
"Rory said she misses you" She told Luke. She saw his face soften and blush. She loved how Rory did that to him.
"And, she's sorry she can't make it home this weekend."
"She can't?" Luke asked.
"She's got a lot of work. She's in Yale now, they're so greedy. They wont let her love anyone else but them. They are control freaks I tell you. CONTROL FREAKS!" Lorelai yelled dramatically and the whole diner stopped to look at her. "What?" She asked.
Luke rolled his eyes.
The bells jingled once again and this time Nicole walked in. She saw the two of them talking. She hated it when they did that. She took a seat close enough to the counter so that she could her them.
"Anyway, I'll be all alone this weekend all because stupid Yale people want Rory all to themselves. Editorial for the paper! It's all one big master plan. A conspiracy. But I'm on to them. They are out to get all the smart people of the world ..." Lorelai continued in a mischievous voice. "First, they start taking away their weekends, then their winter breaks, then their summer breaks, and one by one, they will work each and every one of them to death, and no one will be left to rule the world, but insanely dumb people!"
"Like you, minus the dumb."
Nicole just looked at them.
"Is Luke calling me smart?" Lorelai asked.
"No, just insane." Luke smirked.
"Our little baby's growing up Luke." Lorelai said dramatically and leaned across the counter to where Luke's hand was resting. She laid her head on his hand and mock cried.
Luke put a hand on her head. "Yeah, maybe you should try it sometime."
Lorelai got up and scowled at him "Coffee." She said.
He sighed as he refilled her cup.
Nicole snuck out of the diner. How come they never acted like that when she was around? And Lorelai referring to Rory as 'their baby' Their baby! Hah! Nicole rubbed her head. God, It's scary how much my life is like a Dawson's creek episode. Man, she had to stop watching the reruns on TBS. Besides Luke is a lot older and a lot less gay then Dawson, and Lorelai a lot uglier than Joey. Who was she kidding? Lorelai was gorgeous. Need to stop watching TBS... she made a mental note.
