Chapter 5: Pweeeaassseeeee!!!
LUKE'S DINER
"Ohhhh Lukey!" Lorelai yelled as she entered the diner.
Luke emerged from the kitchen with a growly expression.
"Looks like someone's been hit with the flannel shirt, backwards baseball cap and uuuuugggglllyyyy expressions stick!"
Luke sighed and grabbed his pad of paper.
"What'll it be Lorelai?" Luke asked in a grump tone.
"How about better service! Your mood just totally put me in a funk!"
Luke tossed his pad of paper on the counter and leaned closer to Lorelai.
"Get out!" he whispered.
"What- no!"
"Now get out- out of my diner!"
Lorelai pulled out her best trick against Luke. She playfully pouted and batted her eyelashes.
Luke reached under the counter and grabbed his greatest counter-device. He placed the sign on the counter for Lorelai to read.
"I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO SERVE ANYONE!"
Lorelai gasped and crossed her arms.
"Nuh-uh Luke, I'm not going anywhere!"
Just before Luke could reply, the bell on the door jingled and Rory walked in with an unreadable expression.
"Hey hun- Luke said anything you wants on the house!"
"Wha- no I didn't!"
Rory sat down next to her mother and banged her head on the counter.
"Ahw…vacation planning not going anywhere?"
"No where but Hartford where Lane 'signed us up' for Christian Camp!"
"That was her excuse?"
"WAS being the operative word."
"So why don't you just rough it- you know throw a tent and some sleeping bags in the jeep and head off?"
Rory though for a minute-maybe her mom had a good idea. After all, Rory had no ideas- not a one!
During the silence of Rory thinking and Lorelai sipping her coffee, Luke slipped up stairs.
UPSTAIRS AT LUKE'S
"You're not going to the cabin anymore!"
"What?"
"You heard me."
Saying that- Luke grabbed some papers off the table, left and walked back down the stairs.
"Luke!" Jess called after him, but Luke just kept walking.
"That's not fair!"
Hearing the yelling and Luke and Jess coming from upstairs- Lorelai and Rory stopped their conversation just to hear what was up with Jess and Luke.
"Well here's a lesson for ya- life's not fair!"
Luke walked back to the counter and handed Rory some papers.
"What's this?" Rory asked as she looked through the papers.
"They're my ticket out of here for a while!" Jess said as he grabbed the papers away from her.
Luke grabbed the papers away from Jess and smacked his up side the head
"What the hell?"
"Don't be so rude to our customers!"
"Customers? Who? Rory and Lorelai? They're not customers, they practically live here."
"Here Rory, I thought you might like this." Luke said as he turned away from Jess and handed the papers back to Rory.
Rory looked at the papers and saw a picture of a beautiful cabin surrounded by trees and a large sparkly lake.
"It's beautiful Luke."
"Yeah well if you and Lane wanna spend some time there, it's free."
"Really?"
"No!" Jess interrupted. "I'm staying there this summer."
"No you are not! Rory and Lane are."
"Luke you promised me a month ago-and I'm going. You wouldn't wanna set a bad example for me and teach me how to lie- would you?"
"Shut up, Rory deserves this more."
"Oh Luke-thanks for the offer, but if you already promised Jess-"
"Which he did!" Jess interrupted.
"Then I don't wanna intrude."
"Which you will be!"
"No Rory you deserve this. But I guess if you don't wanna intrude then you can join!"
"WHAT????" Lorelai, Rory and Jess said at the same time.
"I mean if you wanna make it memorable then I dunno invite some friends, have a party, no drinking or drugs, but you know- have fun!"
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute… nuh-uh Luke… are you crazy?" Lorelai asked.
"Maybe- I'll look into it for you."
Rory thought for a minute. It did sound like fun. Plus she wasn't a little kid anymore and her mother should know to trust her.
"Oh come on mom- it'll be fun…pwwwweeeeaaaasssseeeee?"
"But oh no- not the puppy dog eyes and sad lip."
Rory continued with the begging as Lorelai grew weaker with each glance at Rory.
"Oh did I mention there's a huge fair about 30 minutes away from the cabin?"
"Wha- Oh mom, you have to let me go!"
"EHH, alright, on one condition!"
"Whatever you want." Rory squealed in delight.
"Dean comes! I don't trust the woods. Too many scary movies!"
Rory's mood suddenly dropped.
"Oh mom, I dunno…" Rory said as she rubbed her wrist over her sweater.
She still hadn't told her mother about the incident in the book store because she was afraid of her mother's reaction. Plus she wanted to give Dean the benefit of the doubt because it was an honest mistake… or was it? He was always getting jealous of every little thing. Maybe he didn't mean to bruise her, but he did, and there was no need to get angry and hurt her. Rory shook her thoughts away.
"Well that's the only way."
"Okay, I'll ask him later."
"Ok sweetie, now you wanna coffee?"
"Later… right now I have to tell Lane the good news." Rory said as her mood returned to full out excited.
Rory hugged her mom and turned to Jess who hadn't said much.
"You don't mind?"
"Guess I don't have a choice!" Rory smiled at Jess and left to tell Lane the good news about the cabin and the fair.
OKAY NOW, TIME TO REVIEW... YAY! THIS IS THE BEST PART!
