A/N: Lorelai Matilda Gilmore-McKinnon, (Ellie), came to be known as Ellie, because Pat use call her just plain L, sweet and simple. She is also known as Elle (L), and Ella.

I woke up the next morning at 5.30, to early to get up, but to late to go back to sleep, so I climbed out of my bed and slipped in to Rory's.

'Morning babe,' she said moving over so I had enough room.

'Morning mum,' I said as she draped an arm around me.

'That is not the alarm, that is my imagination and I won't be woken up for another 24 hours,' said Rory as the alarm went off at 6.00.

'Ditto, can we just sit in here and sleep?' I asked pulling the covers over me.

'As long as no one notices us, were good,' said Rory pulling the covers over her head as well.

10 minutes later I felt something tiny jump on to my back. 'Emma!' I said sighing. 'Come up here sweetie,' I said pulling my 3 year old sister up between Rory and I.

'Patty said we need to get up,' said Emma in the cutest voice.

'Patty said did he?' Rory said kissing Emma on the nose.

'Yes, and he said that I'm a rascal and wet my bed,' said Emma giggling.

'Come on little munchkin, let's get you ready for play school,' said Rory coming back to reality and getting out of bed. 'Ellie, get up,' said Rory throwing a pillow at my head.

I got up out of bed and headed for the shower, letting the hot water run over my back soothing out the knots. Half an hour later Pat and I were in his car on the way to Luke's.

'The shaggin wagon, back in action,' said Pat cockily as we walked back into Luke's.

'Your such a sleaze bag, what do girls find so interesting in you?' I asked walking up to the counter.

'No coffee!' yelled Luke shooing us away.

'Uh uh, uh, remember your deal, if I could go one day without coffee I could have unlimited amount of coffee today,' I said gleefully.

'I never said it!' he protested.

'You did!' yelled Lorelai in my support.

'Your lying, your untrustworthy, you just want coffee,' he said accusingly wiping down a table.

'You did hunny,' said Babette from her and Mory's table.

'Fine then,' he said pouring me a coffee in the biggest cup he owned. I squealed with delight as the soothingly hot concoction slid down the back of my throat.

'Ahh,' I said breathing in the aroma of coffee.

'What else can I get you?' asked Luke five minutes later.

'A chocolate muffin and curly fries,' I said gleefully.

'A strawberry muffin and eggs to go,' he said writing it down on his pad and leaving.

15 minute later I had finished my plate of eggs and was finishing the last of my strawberry muffin.

'Come on Ella, time to go,' said Pat moving towards the door.

'No, I need more coffee!' I said not moving from my spot at the counter.

'Luke, two unstable wretches need more coffee!' yelled Pat.

'That's not very nice Louis,' I said referring to his nickname.

'Come on Ella,' he said anxiously.

'Here you go Ellie,' said Luke placing three full steaming coffees to go in front of me.

'Thanks Luke,' I said jumping up and kissing Lorelai on the cheek, and heading out the door of the diner.

'Finally,' said Pat as I jumped in her started the car, speeding out of town. 20 minutes later, and 5 near death experiences we were at school.

'Fuck, next time I'm driving, you're the worse driver I've ever meet,' I said angrily.

'No, your not old enough yet cutie,' he said patting my head.

'Bastard,' I said grabbing my bag and walking in the opposite direction.

The rest of the day went by slowly, besides a hiccup in US History and then slowing down to a full halt in English Lit.

'I reckon I could get her by the end of next week,' I heard a boy whisper.

'I reckon I could get her by Friday night at Thomo's party,' he said cockily.

'Nah she's mine boys,' said an even cockier voice.

'Oi Mary,' said the 2nd boy pulling at my hair.

'Yes Joseph?' I said referring to Joseph the Baptist.

'Ouch,' I heard the third boy reply.

'This ain't no Mary,' said Joseph laughing.

'No, but I wouldn't let you 'bed' me any day of the week boys,' I said as the bell went.

'It's not our fault if you can't resist our charms sweetie,' Joseph said cockily.

'No that's right and it's not your fault you have a dick the size of a pea,' I said sincerely.

'How would you know babe, you haven't seen anything, yet,' he said moving closer to me.

'I know, but how would you know that I'm a 'Mary'?' I asked moving even closer towards him, tugging at his belt.

'I guess we'll find out at Jono's party tonight, that's if you turn up,' said the third boy.

'I'll be there,' I said leaving the room. I could finally act differently around the boys, not the shy girl from Stars Hollow.

I grabbed the books I needed out of my locker and headed towards Pat's car.

'Hey Ella,' Pat said I got into the car.

'Hey, how was you day?' I asked sitting down and putting on my seat belt.

'Not to bad, I heard about your little escapade in US History,' he said laughing.

'What? The teacher was telling me I was ignorant!' I said in my defence.

'Who was it?'

'Mr Brampton,' I said laughing, remembering how he told me that I was ignorant little brat.

'You little rebel you,' Pat said. The conversation lapsed into silence until we were 5 minutes from home.

'I've been invited to Jono's party tonight,' I said quickly.

'Me to,' Pat said, 'are you going?'

'Only if you're going,' I said looking into his eyes.

'Yeah I'm going, what's a party without its king?' asked Pat cockily.

'Not a party,' I said getting out of the car and going in to Luke's.

'Ella!' said Emma jumping in my arms.

'Hey my children!' yelled Rory giving me a hug. 'How was your day?'

'Mary-like,' I said laughing.

'Pardon?' asked Lorelai as Pat and I sat down at our table.

'These guy's are calling me Mary,' I said sculling down my steaming hot coffee. 'Another one here Luke!'

'Why?' asked Emma.

'Because she looks innocent and shy,' said Pat, lifting her up on to his lap.

'I don't look innocent or shy do I?' I asked surprised.

'After US history I'm surprised anyone thought you were shy,' said Pat laughing.

'What did you do in US History my child?' asked Rory.

'Nothing, it's just the teacher called me ignorant because I was arguing with him over something, and I said that he had no right to call me that, and we got into a bit of a verbal fight but we talked it over after class and he said he liked my spirit, passion and fire,' I said quickly, not breathing.

'Alright, and breathe,' said Luke coming over and pouring us some more coffee.

'Why I'm fine? I can go for 5 minutes with a few breathes every couple of seconds and not pass out,' I said smiling.

'That's my girl,' said Lorelai, proudly.

'So you guys got any plans tonight?' asked Rory.

'Well,' I started but was interrupted by Pat.

'Jono has a thing planned tonight,' he said finishing his softie. 'Little Lorelai here has got her first invite to a sophomore party.'

'How did u manage that?' asked Lorelai impressed.

'There is three sophomore's in my English Lit. class and we got talking and I was invited,' I said looking down at the table.

'Told you we'd have to fight the guys off this girl,' said Pat to Luke.

We sat in Luke's talking for another hour, drinking as much coffee as possible just to spite Luke.

'Emma, it looks like it's just you and me for the night,' said Rory as Pat and I headed for our rooms to do our homework and get ready for the party.

Review! Review! Tell me what you think? Should I continue or is it tragic? I don't want the story to sound like too much like Rory's time at Chilton, or other stories, but it's kinda hard... lol. So tell me what you think, should I continue?

Cheers Bec

p.s Softie means softdrink... I'm from Australia so I don't know what you call them, I think it's soda... Not sure.
