"Hey, Rory." Lorelai called. "Calvin is on the phone."

"Coming." Rory replied walking quickly into the living room and taking the phone from her mother's hands.

"Hello?" Rory asked trying to sound as cool and not dumb as possible. "Yeah, I'm ready. Sure... Okay. Alright. Bye." Rory hung up the phone. Whoa, what was that? Suddenly Rory felt her stomach do a twist.

"Is he ready?" Lorelai asked interupting Rory's stomach moment.

"Yeah. He is." Rory replied.

"Alright then, let's get going."

"Huh?" Rory asked confused.

"To the movies. It'll take us probably 10 minutes to get there." Lorelai looked at her watch.

"What are you talking about?" Rory asked again.

"The date to the movies that you are going on." Lorelai spelled it out.

"Calvin's picking me up." Rory replied.

"Oh." Lorelai chuckled. "Okay, well I thought you was meeting him there. You should have told me his parents were taking you."

Uh oh. Rory though. She doesn't know that Calvin is driving. "Um... Mom." Rory began. "Calvin is 16."

"Well, that's okay, he couldn't be more than a few months older than you." Lorelai replied totally missing Rory's hint.

"He has a car." Rory blurted out. "He's picking me up."

Lorelai's easy going smile turned into a cold stare. "Oh, Rory I don't know." And here came the mother tone. "I mean, it's nothing against Calvin, but to let you ride in a car with a boy that I don't know..."

"Mom..." Rory pleaded. "Please. You said it yourself I'm not a little girl anymore."

"Sweetie, trust me, I know better than anyone what can happen at 15 in a car." Lorelai remarked, making Rory feel uncomfortable.

"I know he'll be careful Mom." Rory said with her eyes drooping.

Lorelai sighed. "Okay... but here, take my cell phone and call me the minute you reach the movies and the second you leave. Okay?"

"Okay." Rory replied satisfied she had won.

"BEEP BEEP."

"There he is." Rory smiled looking out the window. "How do I look?"

"Beautiful." Lorelai smiled and kissed her daughter on the cheek. "Remember home by 10:30."

"Right." Rory replied as she closed the door.

Lorelai gazed out the window as the car took off. She suddenly felt old, Rory was growing up and dating now. Lorelai began to wonder, perhaps she should have married Luke then she would have someone after Rory had left. But that was all too far gone now.

The constant ringing of the phone finally woke Luke up. "Hello?" a sleepy voice replied.

"Luke." Colleen stressed "It's 7:30. What are you doing?"

"It's 7:30?" Luke asked stunned. "I'm so sorry. I laid down for a nap, I didn't know I'd sleep this long."

"It's okay." Colleen replied. "I've just been worried about you."

"I'm fine... Just really feeling like an idiot right now."

"Well stop feeling like an idiot and open your door."

"Open my what?" Luke asked.

"Your door." Colleen giggled.

Luke walked over to the door and slowly opened it, he saw Colleen standing there with her cell phone in her hand.

"Hi." she smiled "Closing the lid to her phone and putting in her purse.

"Hi." Luke smiled back.

"Can I come in?"

"Of course." Luke replied softly opening the door completely. "My place is a bit of a mess right now, but..."

"Don't worry about it." Colleen laughed. "My house isn't so neat either."

"You want something to drink? Eat?" Luke asked.

"No, I'm fine."

"Well, have a seat." Luke guided her to the couch.

"Luke." Colleen began. "I had such a great time with you over at the Thursday."

"I had a great time with you too." Luke replied. "Listen, I'm sorry I slept and forgot to meet you this evening..."

"Shh." Colleen hushed him. "Don't worry about that." Colleen stared at him for a moment. "These last few days have been amazing."

Luke smiled. "Yes, they have."

Lorelai tried to not look so obvious when Rory walked through the door at 10:29. She tried to make it appear that she had been busy watching tv and eating popcorn, instead of watching the clock and waiting for Rory to get home. Rory opened the door and walked in.

"Well?" Lorelai asked raising an eyebrow.

"He's nice." Rory smiled.

"Did you two hold hands?" Lorelai asked directly.

"Mom..." Rory blushed.

"Did you?" she pressed.

"Yes." Rory finally confessed.

"Aww.. Did you kiss?"

"Mom!..."

"Okay, maybe that one was a bit too far... so did you?"

"No..." Rory replied. "Well, he kissed my hand as I was getting out of his car, if that counts."

Lorelai smiled. "And how was the movie?"

"Good. Although there were parts where I wished I was here with you."

"Oh, that was just your conscience." Lorelai replied. "We can still watch like 5 more hours of movies."

"Sounds great." Rory smiled as she headed off to her room. "Let me change clothes and I'll be on out."
