Lorelai groaned and sat up rubbing her eyes. "What is that noise?"
Squinting and tilting her head, Lorelai heard Rory's high-pitched laughter echoing through the closed window.
"What is going on?" Lorelai glanced at the clock; it read 12:00 pm.
"Man, I can't believe Rory let me sleep this long. I know it's Saturday, but, hey, she always wakes me up by at least 9:00 to go get coffee at Luke's. What's going on? And why is she laughing?"
Lorelai pushed back her covers and shuddered at the cool breeze wafting gently from her overhead fan. Stepping onto the rug that lay beside her bed she stretched and softly walked over to the window. Pushing aside the sheer curtain she glanced outside to the back porch. Seeing that no one was there, she shrugged and turned back around. "Guess she's on the front porch."
Grabbing an outfit that Rory, had apparently laid out for her, she headed for the shower.
Fifteen minutes later, she emerged with her short, dark hair, wrapped in a pure white bath towel.
Heading down the stairs, she wavered between her curiosity about who was on the porch with Rory, and her desire for a cup of coffee. Coffee won and taking long, hurried steps; she reached the kitchen and grabbed the note lying in front of the coffee maker.
It simply said,
Mom, I'm out on the front porch. Coffee's already made.
Lorelai grabbed the pot and poured a big cup of coffee. Sniffing at it and seeing no steam coming from it, she popped it in the microwave and grabbed a muffin off of the kitchen table.
Lorelai's curiosity took center stage and grinning she headed into Rory's room and glanced out her window. What she saw made her drop her muffin. Looking down at her slightly mashed muffin she frowned and looked back out the window. There on her front porch, sat Rory and Tristan. But that was far from the weirdest part. Rory was laughing and looked like she was having a good time hanging out with Tristan! Rory was bathed in a pool of warm, yellow sunshine and her hair looked like it had golden high lights. Tristan was gazing at her in admiration as she threw back her head and laughed, shaking her brown hair when she tilted her head and smiled becomingly at Tristan.
Lorelai scrunched her nose up and grabbing her muffin, blew on it, took a bite, and muttered, "Five second rule."
With measured steps Lorelai stopped by the microwave, took her hot cup out gingerly, and turning on her heel, she strode to the front door and opening it smiled at the picture Rory made, sitting with her back toward the sun, and facing the door, with her head bent over an open book.
Tristan was facing Rory so; he didn't see Lorelai standing in the open doorway behind him.
A gentle breeze came blowing across the porch and wafted the steam, coming off of Lorelai's cup, toward Rory.
Rory sniffed and looking up spotted Lorelai, who was watching her daughter, with a steady gaze.
When Rory looked up and smiled, Tristan twisted around to see what she was looking at. Seeing Lorelai, he jumped up and smiling, stuck his hand out and said, "Nice to meet you, Ms. Gilmore."
Lorelai eyed him and wearily stuck her hand out. "Nice to meet you too, Tristan."
"Hey, sleepyhead. You finally woke up?" Rory asked with a grin.
Lorelai nodded and smiled. "Yeah. And by the way, gee thanks for the wake up shake."
"Sorry, I lost track of time, and even if I hadn't, I wouldn't have been able to go to Luke's yet, anyway, because we've been studying." Rory explained.
"Oh, yeah, I forgot you were tutoring Tristan for History class." Lorelai said, as an understanding expression dawned across her face. "Well, that solves one little mystery." Lorelai muttered.
"Yeah, and I think he might actually get a passing grade on this next test." Rory answered with a small smile Tristan's way.
"Hope so. But I've got to get going, now. And don't worry, Ms. Study bug, I'm going to work on my history paper tonight." Tristan said with a teasing grin at Rory.
Rory smiled and tucked her hair behind her ear, showing off her diamond ear studs.
"Nice earrings." Tristan commented on his way past Rory.
"Thanks. A present from my Grandparents." Rory said as way of an explanation.
"Well, it was nice meeting you, Ms. Gilmore. See you Monday, Rory." Tristan said some of his old cockiness returning.
Rory walked over and stood beside Lorelai as they watched him pull out of the driveway.
After he left, Rory picked up their coffee mugs and tried to go inside, but Lorelai was blocking her path.
Rory didn't realize that she was grinning from ear to ear, until she looked down at her reflection in the leftover coffee that was floating around in the mugs she held in her small, white hands.
"Oh, hon." Was all Lorelai said.
