Chapter 6 – Maybe she fell asleep

Lorelai rushed through the almost deserted towns square. The remains of last night's celebrations scattered across the street. Maybe Rory was so tired last night. She went to sleep as soon as she got home. So she didn't know I wasn't there. Even though nothing further than a kiss has happened with her and Luke last night. She still had that guilty, teenager, my parents just caught me sneaking out, feeling. Oh boy she knew that feeling.

She had decided to go with her theory that Rory had gone straight to bed. So her plan was to creep inside, run upstairs, get changed into her PJ's, then come back down stairs and see Rory. Oh and get coffee of corse.

Rory – Early this morning

Rory could hear the sound of birds chirping. She kept her eyes closed tight, not wanting to wake up. I wonder what the time is? Rory thought to herself. She opened one eye to look at her clock. But instead of seeing her clock she saw the face of her boyfriend.

Rory sat bolt upright. She looked around. She was lying on the picnic blanket with Dean, in the middle of a park. Daylight streaming through, into the clearing.

'Oh my god. I spent the night out with Dean' her thoughts then turned to her mum. Oh my god.

"Dean" she said shaking him

"Mm what?" he asked sleepily

"We stayed out all night. We fell asleep!" exclaimed Rory.

"Oh no" said Dean, realising their situation.

" I have to go home!" said Rory, getting up and running towards the car. Dean grabbed the blanket and basket and followed hot on her trail.

They drove back to Stars Hollow in silence. Maybe mum fell asleep on the couch, or she had a really good time with Luke and… She didn't want to continue that thought.

Rory asked Dean to drop her off a little way away from her house. She didn't want the sound of the car to wake up Babbet. And have to deal with her endless chitchat and the gossip that would be spread about Dean being Rory home at 6 in the morning.

Rory crept up the side steps to their porch.

Lorelai crept up the front steps to their porch. Being as quiet as possible her gaze fixed on Rory's window, as for any sign of moment.

Rory crept quietly along the porch to the front door, looking intently through the windows, for any sign of her mum asleep on the couch.

Lorelai turned her attention back to the door. She yelled in surprise to see someone starting through their front windows.

Rory was startled by a yell in front of her.

"Rory?" said Lorelai, turning towards her daughter. Did she just get home?

"Mum?" said Rory. Did she just get home?

The both stood looking at each other very confused.

Sorry I don't know how to spell Babbet. Lol.
