Life went on the same way for the next 3 years. Lorelai got promoted to the manager of the Inn and got a pay raise. She also had a best friend named Sookie who was the chef at the Independence Inn. Lorelai and Rory still lived in the shed out back, but they were still really happy. Lorelai was doing it on her own. She was raising her daughter to be a great person and her daughter was her best friend. When Lorelai had been manager for a few years she was promoted to executive manager. She was doing really well for herself. She had also finally saved up enough money to buy a house when Rory was 11. She found a really great place too. It was two stories with two bedrooms and one bathroom. It was perfect.
After they moved in they took a walk down to Luke's Diner. They had been there a few times when Rory had been younger and had half days of school. It had been a while since they had eaten there. They went in and sat down and Luke came over. They ordered to coffees, burgers, fries and pie. Luke was disgusted with what they had asked for and he let them know how unhealthy it was, but they still got the food that had ordered. Lorelai and Luke became friends as Lorelai and Rory ate there more and more. Lorelai and Rory were really happy with their lives.
