AN/ Hey! Here's an update! Just a note before you read, I'm not sure what the reviewer wrote about Sookie's Risotto, but I just made up my own version for this story. Also, this story has nothing to do with what's going on in the actual show.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Lorelai glared with sleepy eyes at her alarm clock and smacked at it ferociously.

In her half asleep, half conscious state she was of the opinion that she had came down on the snooze button with the force of a two ton wrecking ball, when in reality she had only succeeded in hitting the edge of her bedside table with such force as to knock a hair clip to the floor.

Rory came marching into Lorelai's room seventeen minutes later, because Lorelai's insistent alarm had reached a high enough octave that it had woken her up.

Lorelai lay at the bottom of the bed now as she was dreaming that Sookie had blown up another expensive kitchen stove and she had been forced to take cover under a desert cart with a tablecloth over her head. And that the alarm was a smoke detector that was a foreboding warning to the fire that she had most certainly soon escape from.

Rory yanked the covers off of Lorelai and poked her in the side.

Lorelai sat up and with half closed eyes nodded at her dolefully.

She got up grabbed Rory's arm, mumbled something about saving her precious book enthralled daughter, and pulled her out the front door into the yard.

Rory stood as Lorelai sat on the grass and gazed at the house, "Those firemen did a good job of saving the place." she muttered and then looked up into Rory's incredulous face.

"Sookie, I think she's in shock." She said to a bush.

Rory shook her mother.

Lorelai had never been known to sleep walk but she figured the stress of the night of the party might have been the cause of Lorelai's strange behavior.

Lorelai's eyes widened in full consciousness as she looked at Rory, "What are we doing out here?"

"I don't know exactly but you're lucky that you're wearing your cute puppy pajamas."

Lorelai glanced up to see Lane coming up the driveway, "Okay, Lorelai. You've done some pretty crazy things but sleeping in the front yard is pretty out there."

Lorelai shook her head and stood up, "I'm going inside. I need some coffee."

Rory and Lane looked at each other and shrugged.

Later that day:

Sookie came charging into the lobby like a mad woman waving a magazine and speaking in a rapid slew of sentences.

"Lorelai, him! He said it about her! I can't believe this! It's atrocious! It's horrific! It's the most insulting…"

"Okay, wow! This person is some kind of horrible adjective is all I'm getting out of this conversation. Sookie, what's wrong?"

"It's that reviewer! He gave the almost exact review to another chef at a different inn, that he gave to me! It's plagiarism! He should be fined a million dollars, and send it straight to my bank account because it's the lowest, most degrading…"

"Okay, Sookie! Here we go with the adjectives again. So if I can sort this out the guy who reviewed your risotto gave the same review to someone else."

"Not just anyone else. The Cheshire Cat Inn!"

"Okay, that's bad. And wait a minute, how can he be fined for plagiarism if he wrote the article?"

"It doesn't matter if it makes sense! He doesn't make sense, so why should I! I mean he gave the same great review to her imitation crab cakes that he gave to my flawless risotto! Can you believe it?"

"Umm. How about I read the article and get back to you?"

Sookie stormed into the kitchen and Lorelai flipped open the magazine to the dog-eared article.

Five minutes later, she stepped into the kitchen, "Umm, Sookie, I read this and…"

"Plagiarism, right?"

"Well, it was nothing like the review that he gave you."

"What! How could you say that?" Sookie snatched the magazine from her hand and flipped it open, "Look at this! 'The crab cakes were tantalizing!' Now if you remember correctly, Lorelai, my Risotto was 'incredible'! Almost the same verbiage there! And then this right here! 'I found the cream sauce amazingly savory' He said that my Risotto was 'wonderfully tasteful'! That is almost the exact same review!" Sookie ranted.

Lorelai wrinkled her nose and shook her head, "Not seeing the resemblance."

"What! Are you crazy! It's almost identical! Just leave! Get out of my kitchen!" Sookie waved her hand toward the door.

Lorelai gaped at Sookie but non-the-less exited hastily.

A minute later as she stood sorting paper at the front desk and mulling over Sookie's sudden mood swing, she had a thought that sent her running toward the kitchen.

Sookie met her mid-way, "You're pregnant…again!" Lorelai squealed as she and Sookie hugged.
