It was Thursday and Lorelai was packing when Rory and Paris walked in the house.
"MOM." screamed Rory, while looking for her mother.
"IN MY ROOM." replied Lorelai.
"Hey, please don't tell me you're packing everything but the kitchen sink." said Rory, who walked into her mother's room and saw clothes thrown everywhere.
"Nope, it's just that I can't find my 'Walking all day long' shoes. Ugh, I swear to God if I don't find them in 5 seconds, I'm gonna go psycho." complained Lorelai.
Rory started laughing. She walked out of her mom's room and down the stairs. When she got downstairs and into the living room, she looked under the couch and found her mom's shoes. "DAMMIT!" Rory heard her mom yell.
"FOUND THEM, MOM!" yelled Rory up the stairs.
Lorelai walked out of her room. "Where the hell were they?"
Rory giggled, "Under the couch."
"How did you know where they were and I didn't?" Lorelai asked bewildered.
"When you can't find your shoes, they are always under the couch, it's instinct. Whenever I lose my shoes, they are always under the couch. The funny thing is that, under the couch is the last place that you look," said Rory
"Yeah, she always loses her shoes, and I'm always the one to find them. Now I know where she got it from. You should really have a specific place to put your shoes. My nanny taught me that, and now I never lose my shoes." Paris chimed into the conversation.
"Hello Paris, I didn't see you there. Thank you for the shoe advice, it probably won't happen though. So how are you?" asked Lorelai getting tired of the shoe thing.
"Fine, you?" asked Paris.
"Exited!" replied Lorelai happily.
"So, what time are we leaving tomorrow, Mom?" asked Rory.
"When we're all ready," replied Lorelai.
"Um, Lorelai, don't you think that we should have a specific time to leave. I mean, what if we get there really late at night, which could affect the time that we get to the park on Saturday?" asked Paris. She always liked to stay on schedule.
"Well, Paris, you can be in charge of waking us up then," Lorelai replied. "I'm sure Luke will make sure that we are all ready to go early. He wakes up at like, 5 in the morning. That man is frickin nuts."
"Ok, if he wakes me up at 5 in the morning, you are going to see a very pissy Paris," said Paris.
"I'm with ya sister!" Lorelai agreed.
"Me too!" Rory also agreed.
It was 6:45 in the morning when all three girls woke up from a knock on the door.
Lorelai got up to answer it. "Luke, hey," she greeted a fully dressed and ready to go Luke.
"Don't tell me that you're just now waking up," Luke said, clearly annoyed.
"Are you gonna shoot me if that's true?" Lorelai asked.
"I don't know, it depends on how long it takes you to get ready." replied Luke
"Might as well shoot me now than."
"Where are Paris and Rory?" Luke asked, while he started looking around.
"In Rory's room, sleeping" Lorelai paused, "RORY, PARIS, WAKEY WAKEY, LUKE IS HERE TO BE AN ANNOYING WAKER UPPER!" Lorelai into the house.
"Jeez, Lorelai, that was right in my damn ear." Luke said angrily.
"Sorry," Lorelai whispered.
"Morning mom, Luke," said Rory, who was walking out of her room with Paris behind her.
"Morning Rory, Paris, how are you two this morning?" asked Lorelai, who was about ready to crack up at Paris' hair, which was literally everywhere.
"Its 6:50 in the morning mom, how do you think I am?" asked a cranky Rory. Paris just groaned.
Lorelai turned to Luke, "Luke, I think that right now, it would be a very good idea for you to make us coffee right now." Luke nodded and headed into the kitchen. Next, Lorelai turned back to Rory and Paris. "Any demands for first shower?" nothing. "Ok, then first shower is MINE!" She turned to the kitchen, "Luke, I am leaving it up to you to get these two little cranky kids to talk. Fill em up with coffee, baby!" Lorelai said jokingly.
"Mmhmm," was all that Lorelai got for a reply.
"OK, peoples, we're going to Cedar Point, am I the only excited one here." Lorelai said, who was starting to get annoyed at everyone's lack of words.
"Mmhmm," Luke, Rory, and Paris all said at the same time. Rory and Paris were both tired and Luke was just being himself.
"UGH, I'm going to take a shower!"
It was 8:00 A.M. now. Luke and Paris were loading the car as Lorelai and Rory sat in the backseat playing war with cards.
"Will you two hurry it up, we don't have all day." Lorelai said to Luke and Paris who were now putting in the last suitcase.
"Shut up, Lorelai, you're the one who insisted that we brought all that extra crap." Luke shot back at Lorelai.
"Ugh, Luke, we can't live without a coffee maker." Lorelai argued.
"I'm sure that they have one at the hotel. Besides, if not, we can just stop at a Starbucks or something." Luke agued back. He was starting to think that this was a really bad idea, because they had been fighting all morning.
"Yes, but better safe than sorry." Lorelai was also starting to think that this was a bad idea.
"Whatever Lorelai, we should figure out seating arrangements." Luke said angrily.
"Fine. You drive, I call shotgun, and Rory and Paris can sit in the back." Lorelai replied.
"Why am I driving now?" Luke asked.
"Because, you're used to getting up this early, and you probably aren't as tired. Therefore, if I drive, I have a better chance of getting us in an accident. And I will also be sleeping a lot of the way, so therefore I'll be less annoying. If I drive I'll be forced to stay awake and be more annoying." Lorelai explained.
"You live in a strange, strange world Lorelai." Luke laughed. He could never stay mad at Lorelai.
"I know!" Lorelai said, putting on a silly face. "So, will you drive?"
"Yeah, whatever." Luke said. Lorelai then started climbing over from the back to get settled in the passenger seat.
"Rory, hand me my pillow." Lorelai said when she got settled in her seat.
Rory hands her mom her pillow. "Mom, what CD do you want?" Rory asks, while looking through her mom's CD case.
"Hmmmm, I don't know. Luke what do you hate?" Luke just rolled his eyes. "Gimme my dirty CD!"
"Ah jeez, please tell me you're joking." Luke didn't even want to know what was on that CD.
"Mom, I think we should save that CD for later. It's too early in the morning." Rory said with an evil glare in her eye.
"I think I agree with Luke on this one, I really don't want to listen to a dirty CD." Paris said with a disgusted look.
"Sorry guys, you can't go on a road trip without listening to dirty rap music. It's not allowed." Lorelai started laughing at Luke and Paris' looks. "We are going to have you going psycho by the end of this trip." Lorelai said as Luke started pulling out of the drive way.
"Yup, we do all kinds of crazy stuff when driving long distances in the car. We will have you both wishing death before we even get to Sandusky." Rory added.
"Yup!" Lorelai agreed.
Luke turned to Paris, "And she said she'd be less annoying."
"I'll tell you what; we'll refrain from reading all of the bumper stickers, if you'll drive faster than the exact speed limit on the freeway." Lorelai said to Luke.
"I don't want to get a ticket Lorelai." Luke snapped back.
"Luke, you are supposed to do what everyone else on the road is doing. If everyone is going 80, you go 80. Why? Because going slower than everyone else is a hazard. Trust me. I've seen many accidents happen from old people driving 60 while everyone else is driving 70." Lorelai argued.
"Yeah but people going 80 are also a hazard. They could rear-end someone who is actually driving the speed limit." Luke fought back.
"Hence why you should drive 80 when everyone else is driving 80." Lorelai said. "Trust me, last week I was going slower than everyone else, and I almost got rear-ended. It pissed me off, I flicked the guy off."
"You are making no sense. Why would you want to be the person almost rear-ending someone because you are driving too fast?" Luke asked, clearly annoyed.
"Now you're making no sense. Help me out here, Rory." Lorelai said, also annoyed.
"Sorry mom, this is your battle." Rory said, laughing at her mom and Luke.
"They're like an old married couple." Paris said, amused at the two adults arguing about something so stupid. The argument was now about how Lorelai never made any sense, and how Luke was always nagging her about her imperfections.
"Yeah." Rory agreed, laughing.
"This is going to be a very long trip." Paris said as Rory opened her book.
"Mom, where are we?" Rory asked.
"We are somewhere in Pennsylvania…I think. Right, Luke?" Lorelai hoped that they weren't lost.
"Yeah." Luke replied. "I'm gonna get off at this exit, we need gas again."
"Good! I have to use the bathroom anyway." Paris said.
"Ugh, now you decide to use the 'dirty' bathroom. You need help, Paris." Lorelai said jokingly.
"Yeah, well now I really have to go." Paris shot back.
"Jeez, it was a joke Paris." Lorelai said apologetically.
"Whatever, you don't mess with a girl with, well, girl problems." Paris said quietly.
"Oh," Lorelai laughed. "Did you bring, well…you know what."
"Yes, what do you think I am, stupid?" At that Paris whispered something into Rory's ear.
"Nope, sorry Paris, mine just passed." Rory replied.
"Lorelai?" Paris asked.
"Nope sorry hon, mine just passed too." Lorelai replied sympathetically.
"What do you need, I might have it?" Luke asked. The three girls looked at each other at Luke's last comment then started laughing hysterically.
"Luke…somehow…I think…that this… is a problem…that you can't fix." Lorelai said between laughs.
Luke turned really red as he realized what Paris needed. "Oh." They started laughing even louder at that, and Luke stared intently at the road, completely embarrassed.
"Oh my God, Luke, you should see your face." Rory said looking into the rear-view mirror at Luke's face.
"I think this is a good time for the dirty CD, Rory." Lorelai said, still laughing at Luke. She put her hand on Luke's shoulder and said, "It's ok Luke, you don't know a girl's secret, 'it's that time of month' talks." Lorelai said before cracking up again.
Rory also started cracking up, "Mom...this is…perfect…mocking…material."
"Ah jeez." said Luke, who was now as red as red can get. "We're at the gas station now." Luke said as he stopped the jeep next to a gas pump. When it came to a complete stop, Paris and Rory both hopped out of the car and ran to the small building. "That building looks a little small for a bathroom." Luke said.
"Yeah, well, if they have to go THAT bad, there are plenty of trees around here." Lorelai said.
"You are very odd." Luke chuckled at her comment.
"Yeah, well it's all wit." Lorelai looked at Luke and started laughing.
"What?" Luke asked, clearly annoyed.
"Nothing." Luke gave her a Luke, knowing that 'nothing' wasn't true. "It's just that, well, now I'm wondering if you really do have a pad or tampon hidden in that bag of yours." she said, about ready to crack up again.
"Oh my God, this is exactly why I didn't want to come on this damn trip." Luke practically yelled into Lorelai's face.
"Why, because you were planning on saying something embarrassing."
"NO, because YOU always find a way to make my life miserable. I say one thing, and you turn it into a joke. I was just trying to be nice. I'm not a girl; I wouldn't know what the hell you guys were talking about."
"Correction, you wouldn't know what us 'girls' were talking about." Lorelai giggled.
"Unbelievable." Luke growled.
"Seriously, Luke, it was funny, what do you want me to say? I didn't do anything wrong. You're turning this into something it's not." Lorelai said apologetically.
"I say one wrong thing, and you mock me about it for the rest of my life. This is going to be another thing that you tell the entire town, and I'm going to be the laughing stock of the week."
"Hey, that's not true." Lorelai was now getting pissed at Luke. How dare he. I didn't do anything wrong. Why is he getting mad at me? I just wanted him to come in this trip with me because he's my friend. It's not like I was looking for a chance to make fun of him. I hate it when we fight.
Luke could see Lorelai getting angry. Why did I yell at her, she didn't do anything wrong. I knew it was a bad idea to come on this trip. Somehow I had this feeling that it was going to end up with us fighting. I hate it when we fight. The gas was done pumping, so Luke and Lorelai got into the car, both not saying a word to each other.
"Back!" Rory said excitedly while she and Paris got into the car. When she didn't get a response, Rory new that something happened while she and Paris were gone. "Earth to Lorelai and Luke." Rory said loudly, trying to get the two adults in the front seat to talk.
"Huh?" Lorelai and Luke said at the same time.
"Sorry to interrupt your thoughts, but we can go now." Rory said.
Paris leaned over to speak in Rory's ear. "What happened?" She only got a shrug for a response.
"Ok, we should be out of Pennsylvania in a few hours. It's 1:00 right now. If we don't hit traffic, we should be to Sandusky around 7 or 8…or nine, if Luke drives slow." Lorelai snapped.
"Better than rear-ending someone obeying the law." Luke snapped back.
"Something definitely happened," Rory whispered to Paris, after Lorelai started jamming 'Kashmir' by Led Zepplin.
Hey everyone. Thanks for the reviews. I appreciate it. I know this chapter ended bad, but they'll make up when they get to their hotel room. Which is gonna be in the next chapter.
