A/N: Ok, Thanks for the reviews everyone who reviwed it. I love to see the thing on my inbox. It is just really nice, I feel good about it. So do it for this chapter also – I do not usually beg for reviews like this, I actuallyt never beg for reviews, but turns out that, I want aproval on this fic.

A/N2: I will get to Richard! Soon! I promise. Not on this chapter, but it will be soon, I promise, the fic is all on my mind already.

Disclaimer: I think everyone already knows that I do not own Gilmore Girls, although sometimes I do pretend I live in Stars Hollow or that ASP is my aunt. The name of the parts are lyrics, on this chapter it's from the song "Without you I'm nothing" by Placebo, so although I also like to pretend I own Brian, I do not… Or anything related to him…And this is the biggest Disclaimer I have ever seen.


Part I – Strange infatuation seems to grace the evening tide...

"Look at that girl, Hopey..." Emily pointed out a blonde girl with a long pink dress. Her eyes were so green that Emily could see from afar.

Hope smiled as she watched a stunning Emily look at everything and everywhere. Her dark blue eyes filled with emotion and excitement. From the moment she stepped on that ball room her eyes were bright, and she spent the last hour saying "Hopey, look at that couple!" or 'Hopey look at that hair! I wish my hair was like this…' . She even said 'Hopey, look how that girl is dancing! It's so beautiful… I wish I could…'. What made Hope sad was the fact that there was always a "wish"… 'I wish I could…'… 'I wish I had…'. If she could only make that nine year-old angel understand that she could do and have anything she wanted…

"Good evening, my beautiful lady, you look lovely!" A male voice with a British accent yelled.

Hope looked at her best friend, who had a bright smile on his face.

"Em, this is Louis. Louis, this is my little sister, Emily." Emily looked at the tall dark guy that was standing with his hand on Hope's showder and said a quiet 'Hello'.

"Oh, so this is the little girl you can't stop talk about, huh? It's Emily this, Emily that. Emily did this, Emily did that. It's a pleasure to finally meet you, girl."

Emily could feel her cheeks turning red. And she smiled shyly at that boy.

He walked 'till her and got on his knees.

"Would you save a dance for me, little Emily? I do know how to waltz. Possibily the best dancer in the entire room, and I don't have a partner." She smiled at him "And since your sister just keeps rejecting me, I would be pleased to dance with you, and maybe we could show her what she's been missing!"

Emily looked at Hope who just smiled and tried not to laugh.

"Go ahead, Em, tell him that he is the 10th in this line."

"Oh, I would wait all night for you, my dear." He said looking at Hope, even if he refered to Emily.

"Ok… We'll dance later, Louis." Emily answered sweetly to the British guy.

Louis smiled and walked away doing reverences.

"He is funny!" Emily said smiling.

"He likes to pretend he is Britsh…But his accent fails sometimes." Hope took a sip at her wine.

Emily couldn't stop stare at her sister. She looked just stunning. More beautiful than ever, even if she didn't mean that. And then she looked at herself, and for the first time, she felt really good about it.

Part II – …I'll take it by your side…

Lorelai looked to the sky through the airplane's window. She could see the sun on the horizon, and that was just so incredibly beautiful. Her mother was drinking a glass of wine, staring at no where. She didn't say a word after they entered in the place, she didn't even bother about how the plane got out of the airport thirty minutes later than it should. And she decided not to bother Emily right now… Just…Let her be…

Emily felt safe there… 6000 feet away from the ground. She should be terrified, but she wasn't… She felt warm and safe. She was far away from everything and everyone… The only person with her, was her daughter… Who was now playing a role, Emily never thought she would. There was something of Rory there… But she didn't mind. She could look at her beautiful daughter right now, and wish that Lorelai knew how grateful Emily felt for her presence there.

She could see by the corner of her eye that Lorelai was staring at the view… Lost in thought… Obviously not wishing to disturb.

And suddelly, she didn't want to be with anyone else.

Part III – …Take the plan, spin it sideways…

Louis spinned Emily on the dance floor, making her laugh hard. People would stop to look at them.. Some would make funny noises and some laughed at the scene. But Emily didn't mind. It was wonderful.

Hope would watch it all from the corner and laugh while her best friend spinned her angel girl twice. They seemed to be flying… She was amazed by that.

"Ok, now, little girl, hold my left hand and go all the way to the back, I'll hold you."

Louis said while the danced almost hitting on the other couples.

"Sorry!" Emily smiled as she stepped on a girl's foot. All the lights and colors of the room, would pass right in front of her eyes, all mixed up. It was a wonderful feeling.

"OK, now!"

And before she could ask "Now what?", Louis throwed her away, opening his arms and turning his body.

And before she knew, she lost her balance and fell on the floor. She could imagine her mother going nuts with that, and her dress getting dirty, and her hair all messed up. But she laughed instead 'cause she was dizzy…

"Oh, geez, Louis!" Hope said while she got on her knees to lift her little sister.

"Hehe, again!" Emily said laughing. Louis grinned at Hope.

"See, she liked my moves!"

Hope looked back and forth between them, and smiled at Emily.

"What do you think of going home and make cookies?"

"It's too late for cookies!" Emily grinned.

"Yeah, but mom and dad are out… So we could just make cookies and eat at my room… Or we can stay and you can dance with, Louis."

"Let's go!" Emily said happily loving the idea of cookies in that moment.

"Not fair!" Louis said again with his British accent "I can't make cookies."

"Well, then learn how to for the next dance"

They said goodbye to him and went home with their driver.

Part IV – …Without you, I'm nothing at all…

Lorelai felt someone caressing her hair. She was tired…And her body was positionated in an awful angle. For one moment she thought she was in bed with Luke, but then she remembered everything… When she opened her eyes she saw that her head was on her mother's lap and her legs were… Somewhere…

"Mommy?" She said sleepy, not wanting to get up.

"Get some rest. We'll only get there in more than eight hours…Just rest…"

"Are you ok, mom?" she whispered.

"I'll be fine, don't worry."

They remain in silence for a couple of minutes 'till Lorelai asked:

"Mom…"

"Yes?"

"Did aunt Hope liked me?" It was a stupid question, she knew it. But for some reason, she felt the urge to know something about that woman that had just left her mother.

"Oh, yes…She adored you…" Emily said and Lorelai felt a grinn on her mother's voice. "You remind me of her sometimes…"

"Yeah?"

"Yeah… She was awfully independent, but she made everyone she met get dependent of her. Like you, she was an addiction." Lorelai had to laugh at that.

"An addiction?"

"Yes… She could annoy the hell out of you, stupid jokes, fast comebacks to everything… Even if she irritaded you, you couldn't get rid of her…"

Lorelai smiled as her mother kept caressing her hair softly, making her relax.

"My sister was just Hope… And she was never going to do what you thought she was…"

Emily wanted to cry… But she couldn't. She felt dry inside.

"Was she the hand in Mona Lisa's skirt?"

Emily laughed.

"Something like that, but less dirty." And she felt Lorelai laughing on her lap. And suddelly she felt a small kiss on her hand.

"You'll be fine, mom…"

"Yes… Yes, I wil." She asnwered bravely.

And when Emily thought Lorelai was going to let go of her hand, she didn't. She kept holding it firmily.
