Amy Danes Halikan stepped out of the bus as it pulled into its stop.
Grabbing her bag, she stepped out towards the gazebo, looking around for
any one who could tell her where she was supposed to go.
"I left my family, friends, and a nice college option for this. Stars Hollow, you better be worth it." She said to no one in particular as she searched for any sign of a hotel or restaurant.
"Why hello dear, are you knew to Stars Hollow?" Amy turned to see an excited woman standing behind her. Telling from her smile, it seemed like she was the know all-tell all type.
"Actually yes, I'm looking for a Luke Danes."
"Oh Luke, he is over at that diner over there," the woman said pointing to the building that held a 'William's Hardware' sign above it.
"Thank you very much." Amy said turning towards the building
"Oh no problem sweetheart. My name is Miss Patty, I am the owner of the dance studio. Call me if you need anything." She said as she left Amy to go into the market behind them.
Amy smiled and walked into the small diner. Seeing that the lunch crowd was about to come, Amy walked over to the counter where two women sat talking to a man behind the counter. One was about Amy's age, the other seemed to be about the same age as the man.
"Hi, Welcome to Luke's. Can I get you something?" the man asked as she sat down at the counter, next to the older woman.
"Um yes, I would like a glass of tea and a ham club sandwich." Amy said letting her bag drop to the floor.
"Okay," he said as he walked to the back.
"You look new to Star's Hollow. Have you been here before?" the woman next to Amy asked turning to face her.
"Um no I haven't." Amy said as she picked up the glass of tea that the man gave her.
"Well, Welcome! My name is Lorilie Gilmore and this is my daughter, Rory Gilmore." She said as she turned towards the woman on the other side.
" Hi, I'm Amy Halikan. It is nice to meet you."
" Nice to meet you too. And if you need anything just don't be afraid to ask."
"Um actually I can you point me to the closest hotel or inn." Amy asked as she watched the man bring her meal.
"Well the closest hotel is in Hartford, but there is a new inn opening up soon. Actually I own it, so if you don't mind being the first visitor, you can stay in one of the finished rooms." Lorilie said as she grabbed the coffeepot from the counter to fill up her mug.
"Sure, that sounds great."
"Well let me go set everything up for you, and you can come over when ever you are ready." Lorilie said quickly grabbing a napkin and drawing a map on to it.
"Okay thanks. I'll come over when I finish eating."
It took Amy about half an hour to find the inn. As she opened the door the beauty and homely feeling she saw in the lobby immediately shocked her.
"Hey you're here!" Lorilie said as she came out of one of the rooms, followed by a French man in an obviously expensive suit. " This is Michel, and he will be attending the rooms and stuff like that when I'm not here. But due to Rory going to college, I feel kinda lonely at home so I'm actually staying here too. I'll be in the room across the hall from yours, which is right down that hall and the second door on your left. I was going to give you the first one but someone." she said pointedly at Michel, "wouldn't help me move the furniture."
" I am in a new suit," He protested in a loud French accent.
"Yeah, yeah, well if there is anything I can do for you. Please tell me." Lorilie said returning her attention to me.
"Actually I have a couple of questions about the town." Amy said still with drawing on what she actually wanted to know.
" Oh okay, hey Michel go and tell Sookie to stop fussing with the carpenters in her kitchen and to go home and rest." She said as she turned towards the far door where a loud fight was emerging.
"Sookie is our chef and my co-owner. She is kinda a nit pick and very pregnant. If she doesn't stop bugging the construction crew soon, the kitchen will never be finished. Any way so, why don't I show you to your room and I can answer your questions there." She said leading the way into one of the hallways.
"So what do you want to know." Lorilie said sitting on one of the two armchairs placed by the window.
"Um, do you know of a Rachel Danes?"
"No, I know of a Luke Danes and he dated a girl named Rachel for several years but they never got married."
"Where can I find Luke?" Amy asked, trying to avoid the question that was going to come.
"Luke was the man at the diner who took your order. Look, Luke is one of my best friends. Why are you needing to find him?" Lorilie said as she looked at the girl in front of her with worry in her eyes.
"I just need to talk to him. But first I'm going to freshen up a bit. I'll talk to you later. Bye Lorilie." Amy said slightly pushing Lorilie out the door. "Thanks for your help."
Closing the door, Amy fell onto the bed.
"Well I better get up. I have to look my best to meet my dad," she said softly as she rolled off of the soft comforter.
Should I continue? Please tell me
