"Bongo Drums"

Author: Bambi-Cat

Summary: Luke and Lorelai's story continues in this continuation to Oy with the Poodles Already. L/L (duh!); please R/R.

Disclaimer: Never really understood the purpose of this thing but: I don't own the characters, I am simply borrowing them temporarily. The story, on the other hand, is mine. Please don't sue me, I have nothing worth having, trust me.

Author's Note: Alright this starts the Saturday after the end of Part 2. If you have not read Part 1 and 2, I would suggest you do. Please review even if you hate it, but if you do like it make sure to review. I'm sorry this is so long. Alright, I would like to say that bongos are really ugly. When I named this story, I had never seen one. They are fat and ugly. I mean, they are the brand of my favorite jeans, and obviously I like the drums, but still! I mean they could at least be cute, like Pumba from "Lion King," or something. I mean Pumba smells but he is cute and funny and you can't smell him on TV anyway, can you? Ok, stupid rant done, just had to enlighten everybody. Ahh... now, I have Hakuna-ma-ta-ta (or however you spell it)!!! Hope you like the story!

Part 3: Marriage Preparations and the Moment We've All Been Waiting For

Chapter 1: The Mysterious Gift

~ Saturday night outside Emily and Richard's house ~ Lorelai: No, for the thousandth time since yesterday.

Rory: Mom, you have to tell them! You don't want them to find out that you are getting married from someone else do you?

Lorelai: I didn't turn out that bad last time (Rory gives her a look)! Ok, so it did but she doesn't even like Luke.

Rory: That's not completely true. Plus, she's not all that crazy about you either most of the time and she still has you come to dinner every week.

Lorelai: Oh, thanks for the encouragement! [Lorelai goes to ring the bell when it swings open]

Emily: You girls are 20 minutes late. Come right into the dinning room, the food is getting cold.

Lorelai: It's nice to see you to, Mom.

Rory: Be nice!

Lorelai: Where's the fun in that. Plus, she started it.

Rory: Mother, just sit down, eat, and behave.

Lorelai: Yes ma'am!

Emily (from the dinning room): Are you girls coming?

Rory: We're here ,Grandma, we just had to hang up our coats (glares at Lorelai warningly). Hello Grandpa! How was your trip?

Richard: It was incredibly boring actually.

Lorelai: You find that surprising, what were you expecting, a party?

Emily: Lorelai, eat your food.

Lorelai: Ok. How was your meeting yesterday? Anybody else have a stroke, yet?

Rory (rolls her eyes): Mom!

~ Later in the living room ~

Emily: Are you okay, Lorelai. You are unusually quiet. Is there something bothering you?

Lorelai: No, I'm just tired (Rory kicks her). Ok, fine! I guess now is as good as time as any.

Emily: For what Lorelai?

Lorelai: To tell you I'm getting married (she smiles at her parents who are in shock)!

Emily: To whom?

Lorelai: What do you mean, to who, how many people do you think I've been dating for the last year and a half?

Emily: You mean, Luke?

Lorelai: Yes mom, I am marrying Luke.

Richard: Well, that, is wonderful, Lorelai. Luke is a very successful businessman. I hope you two will be very happy.

Lorelai: Thank you, dad (looks at her mom, she says nothing).

Richard: Now where are you going to have your wedding?

Lorelai: I think we will probably have it at the inn. We really haven't had a chance to talk about it. We've been engaged for less than a week. (Emily looks surprised. Lorelai turns towards her) Now mom, I know you aren't too crazy about Luke but I was wondering if you would...

Emily: If I would what, Lorelai.

Lorelai: If you would help me plan the wedding (looks at Emily expectantly, Emily is practically glowing).

Emily: Really? (Lorelai nods) Richard, did you hear what Lorelai just said?

Richard: Yes. Now that's great, very nice of you Lorelai. Now, you will have to let me know what you are planning for the wedding and how much you think it will cost, so we can put the money aside.

[Lorelai and Emily look at him, then at each other and keep talking about plans]

Rory (to Richard): I never thought I'd see them get along this well. It's amazing.

Richard: Really! Kind of odd though.

Lorelai: Hey! I finally get to find out what it is!

Emily: What, what is?

Lorelai: You know, that thingy.

Emily: What thingy, Lorelai. I really have no idea what you are talking about.

Lorelai: You know, the gift.

Emily: I obviously do not know. What gift are you talking about Lorelai?

Lorelai: Remember, the gift you didn't give me!

Emily: When did I not give you your own gift?

Lorelai: You know the wedding present you said you bought me after Max and I broke up. You wouldn't give it to me or even tell me what it was. You said when I actually got married you would give it to me. So now I get to find out right?

Emily: Maybe.

Lorelai: Maybe, what do you mean maybe?

Emily: I mean that if I haven't given it to some other couple, you'll get to find out what it was. It was a really nice gift.

Lorelai: What? Was? Did you think I would never find a husband? Did you have that little confidence in your own daughter?

Emily: Lorelai, be quiet and drink your drink I want to talk to my granddaughter.

Lorelai: But-

Emily: Lorelai, I still have your present, no reason to get all riled up.

Lorelai: Oh... so will you tell me what it is please?

Emily: Lorelai, you will find out at your wedding. Now Rory...

Chapter 2: St. Patty's Clone

[Lorelai and Rory in the car after Friday night dinner.]

Rory: You and Grandma sure had a nice talk this evening.

Lorelai: If that's what you want to call it.

Rory: Well I think that it was nice to see you two getting along. I was surprised you actually asked her to help you plan the wedding.

Lorelai: Did I say plan? What I really meant was that I would allow her to give me completely useless advice so that she will be more likely to give me the gift.

Rory: But Grandma already promised to give you the gift. I think you asked her so that you two could bond and finally have a normal mother-daughter relationship.

Lorelai: You are still talking about me and my mother, correct? (Rory nods) Ok, I think you and St. Patty have been spending way too much time together. His psycho ideas are starting to rub off on you.

Rory: Its psychological ideas, mom. And that's not true, I've been analyzing you for years.

Lorelai: Oh, really.

Rory: Don't you remember while I was in Washington?

Lorelai: Yes, but that was different that was just my dreams not my behavior.

Rory: But dreams affect thought therefore affecting behavior. So in a way, I was still analyzing your behavior.

Lorelai: See, you are even starting to sound like him. Well if I wasn't your mother, and didn't clearly remember the whole excruciating pain involved in your birth, I would think you were St. Patty's clone or sharing his brain or something.

Rory: When are you going to stop calling him that?

Lorelai: I'll have to get back to you on that. I'm still finding it very amusing.

Rory: You would. So basically never?

Lorelai: Basically. Come on, we'll stop at Luke's and get some coffee.

Rory: Sounds good to me. Although, I think you just want to see Luke.

Lorelai: Alright, this time you caught me. I admit it, okay, I'm guilty, I killed him, but-

Rory: You are so melodramatic.

Lorelai: And this is surprising, why? But I really do want coffee.

Rory: Alright, let's go.

CHAPTER 3: Late Night Plans

[Sookie's house the night before the wedding]

Lorelai: I'm so excited! But I can't believe that after tomorrow I'll be a married woman.

Rory: Yeah, it's kind of hard to imagine you as Lorelai Danes.

Sookie: Mrs. Lorelai Danes. Yes, it does seem strange that you won't be Lorelai Gilmore anymore, but it is very cool.

Lorelai: Yup, plus we will still have enough Lorelai Gilmores in this world.

Rory: Hey! Anyway, what are we going to do tonight?

Lorelai: I have an idea!

Rory: Uh-oh.

Lorelai: We can egg Luke's diner!

Sookie: Sounds like fun.

Rory: Alright well we'll need eggs.

Lorelai: And coffee!

Sookie: Right, so, we can't all go together so Lorelai go get coffee. Rory go get eggs. And I've been craving chocolate so I'll get that.

Lorelai: Sounds good.

Rory: Yup, we can meet outside the diner in 10 minutes.

[In front of Luke's] Rory: Well it doesn't look like anyone else is here.

Sookie: Well we should start before he finds us here.

Lorelai: Right. I get to throw the first egg!

~ 15 minutes later ~

(Luke's diner, Lorelai, Rory, and Sookie are covered in eggs)

Lorelai: Do you think he'll know it was us?

Sookie: Unless he has some other crazy fiancé we don't know about.

Rory: Yeah right. Luke can hardly handle one of them. And mom is plenty.

Lorelai: Care to explain that, young lady? Remember he did ask me to marry him.

Rory: All I'm saying is that it's a good thing he loves you because otherwise he might not be able to resist the urge to lock you in the attic.

Lorelai: You've wanted to lock me in the attic? What about you, Sook?

Sookie: Of course not, hon.

Rory: No, not us. But we are on the "I Love Lorelai Gilmore List." But there are other people I can't say the same for.

Sookie: Exactly!

Lorelai: Examples, please?

Rory: Uh, the wedding photographer you almost electrocuted-

Lorelai: That was not my fault!

Sookie: How about that German guest that you called a pregnant elephant?

Lorelai: In French that means wonderful guest, I think.

(Rory and Sookie giggle)

Lorelai: Alright, alright. What is this, gain up on the bride-to-be day! I need coffee, let's go inside.

Sookie: Do we really want to add breaking and entering to egging.

Rory: Not to mention stealing!

Lorelai: Ladies! Have some confidence. We're not going to break in, I have the key! I am his fiancé!

Rory: But you stole the key!

Lorelai: Shhh, come on!

Sookie: What do we do if Luke comes down.

Lorelai: Stop, drop, and roll?

Rory: Well, we at least have a plan.

Sookie: Works for me come on!

CHAPTER 2: The Letter "L" and the Bad Rule

[At the ceremony the next day]

Luke (whispering): Did you egg my diner last night?

Lorelai: Shh, you aren't supposed to talk, well, that is unless he says to.

Priest: Luke Danes, do you take Lorelai Gilmore to be your lawfully wedded wife?

Luke: I do.

Priest: Lorelai Gilmore, do you take Luke Danes to be your lawfully wedded husband?

Lorelai: I do.

Priest: I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may know kiss the bride. (Luke and Lorelai kiss)

~ At the reception ~

[Lorelai is walking to the table, she sees a woman, and hides behind a plant behind the woman]

Lorelai (to herself): God, I can't remember her name! I'm sure it starts with an "L" though. Maybe, if I say "L" names she won't notice unless she hears her name. Ya, so, Lori? Lind-

Rory: Mom? What on earth are you doing hiding behind a bush? Wait, were you talking to yourself or were you whispering a secret message to that lady?

Lorelai: Ok, I know it's kind of weird, but I can't remember that lady's name, except I know that it starts with an "L". So, I thought if I said her name she would hear and turn around. You interrupted me! For punishment you have to help me, you know more names than I do.

Rory: This is very strange but whatever. So, Lacy, Lorelai-

Lorelai: Don't you think that if it were our own name I would remember that?

Rory: Well, you would think so. All right, so we had Lacy, hmmm... Lane, Linda, Lynette, this is stupid!

Lorelai: Lindsey, Lauren, no its not!

Luke: Well from the looks and sounds of it I would be likely to say it is.

Lorelai: How would you know, you don't even know what we're doing.

Luke: No, but I'm not sure I want to. Anyway we've got cake in 15 minutes, okay?

Lorelai: Okay. So you're not even curious as to what we-

Rory: You!

Lorelai: Were doing?

Luke: Hmmm, let me guess. Naming any future children we might have? But that can't be, because you were only saying girls' names.

Lorelai: That's what the honeymoons for! Plus, who says we are going to have a boy?

Luke: Who says we're going to have a girl?

Rory: Lady and Gent! Let's try to be civil here! You've only been married for about an hour for goodness sakes!

Luke: Alright, so what were you doing?

Lorelai: Trying to guess that lady's name. I know it starts with an "L" but I can't remember anything else.

Luke: Okay, be back in a sec.

~ 5 minutes later ~

Luke: Her name is Amy.

Lorelai: But it starts with an "L".

Luke: Not according to her, it doesn't.

Lorelai: You mean you asked her, her name?

Luke: Yes, I'm the groom, I have to have certain privileges, don't I?

Lorelai: What's her last name, maybe it starts with-

Luke: It doesn't, its Zela.

Lorelai: Are you sure it doesn't start with an "L"?

Luke: Lorelai.

Lorelai: Well, at least I was sort of close.

Rory: Not really, mom. "A" and "Z" are both all the way on the other side of the alphabet from "L".

Luke: Actually, you are both wrong. "L" is not anywhere close; and "L" is in the middle of the alphabet so it can't be all the way on the other side of "A" or "Z".

Rory: Well, you know what I meant?

Lorelai: Wow, calling both Lorelais wrong at the same time. You've got guts. We may have underestimated his intelligence!

Rory: Maybe, should we have added the force field around "it"?

Lorelai: Ya, you'll have to work on that while we're in Hawaii. Luke?

Luke: What?

Lorelai: I want coffee.

Luke: You don't have coffee till after cake at a reception.

Rory: That is a bad rule. I want coffee too!

Rory and Lorelai: Coffee! Coffee!

Luke: You are causing a scene!

Lorelai: But without coffee, insanity ensues.

Luke: You are already crazy.

Lorelai: Hey!

Rory: Ha-ha!

Luke: I was talking to both of you!

[Lorelai and Rory stick their tongues out at him then give each other faces]

Lorelai: First, he tells us we are wrong and then crazy!

Rory: Don't forget that he also refused to give us coffee!

[Luke rolls his eyes at them and then starts to walk away]

Lorelai: Hey! Where are you going?

Luke: To cut the cake, remember? We have 1 minute to get over there!

Lorelai: Its not like they can start without us!

Luke: Remember, you get coffee after cake. Now, come on!

Lorelai: Yes, Lukey!

Luke: You promised not to call me that anymore!

Lorelai: But now, I'm your wife and I can do whatever I want.

Luke: Oh, really?

Rory: Guys! Remember the cake? This is quite a way to start off a marriage; you already sound like a bickering old couple! Now, come on!

Luke and Lorelai: Yes ma'am!

Rory: That's more like it! Well, I would say things are about to get a lot more interesting for the Gilmores.

THE END...

...Or is it?

Author's Note: Should I continue? I have some ideas for honeymoon and crazy phone call idea, but I'm not sure if that would be as crazy as making a LION KING 1 ½ after you've already made 1 and 2, I'm kind of Lion King brained today, sorry (I probably shouldn't talk anyway, I will most likely watch the movie and love it as much as the others, or at least 2)! So, if you have a suggestion or comment, good or bad, please review. If you have anything at all to say about this story, or anything else, for all I care! Please review, they keep a smile on my face :)! Anyway, no worries... bye (will I ever write again? Its up to you, no pressure)!!!
