"It stopped, the damn ride stopped. Luke it stopped, Luke we're gonna die. Oh my God. I'm gonna die at an amusement park. Luke we're gonna die and it's all your fault. I should have listened to my instinct. The smart part of my brain was telling me not to go on this damn ride. But the stupid part had a little voice that sounded a lot like Luke saying, 'Go on the ride. It'll be fine. It'll be over before you know it.' WELL, LOOK AT US NOW LUKE, WE'RE STUCK ON THIS STUPID GODDAMN RIDE. You should have listened to me. Now we're gonna die." Lorelai panicked.
"We are not going to die. They will get the ride going again, and we will be back on our feet again before you know it." Luke said.
"Oh, that's what you think, but we are never gonna get down from here, and I'm never going to open my inn and, and…Even if we do get down from here, I'll end up killing you, because you…" Lorelai rambled but was interrupted.
"LORELAI, SHUT UP." Luke shouted. She just stuck out her tongue. She was about to speak again but Rory interrupted her.
"Mom, if we never get down from here, I just want to tell you that you are the best mom in the world and I love you and…I'll help you kill Luke." Rory said.
"Unbelievable." Luke rolled his eyes.
"Oh my God, these two are crazy." Paris also rolled her eyes.
"Rory honey, I think that we need to kill Paris too." Lorelai joked.
"At least they're out of the, I'm gonna die stage." Luke said.
Five minutes later a guy came up on an elevator lift and asked everyone how they were doing and told them that the ride was going to be up and running soon.
Lorelai got extremely bored just sitting in the roller coaster, not being able to move at all. So she started to sing. "At first I was afraid, I was petrified. Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side. But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong. And I grew strong and I learned how to get along And now your back, from…"
"Shut up, Lorelai." Rory, Luke, Paris, and the two people sitting in front of Luke and Lorelai said.
"Well, if you would have just let Rory and I not go on this ride, you wouldn't have to deal with my constant annoying you." Lorelai said to all of them.
"Just shot up for five minutes and I'll be the happiest man alive." Luke said. "I'm sure the others agree."
"Oh come on Luke. You know you love it."
"Love what? You're constant talking. I don't think so. It never stops. Even when you're gone. I still hear your really annoying voice in my head asking me for coffee or pie." Luke said, annoyed.
"My voice is not annoying." Lorelai pouted. "My voice is sexy and attractive." Luke laughed. "You laugh. But if I ever died, you would miss me constantly annoying you." She said.
Luke couldn't argue with that, because it was true. He was about to say something but the ride started moving again. Everybody started cheering. When the ride got to the top of the hill, Rory and Paris started panicking and grabbed the bar tighter. Luke and Lorelai were fascinated at the view. They could see the whole park and over the lake, but as soon as they went down that hill, the screaming commenced. Luke put his hands up about halfway down the hill. On the second hill, Luke grabbed Lorelai's arm and held it up. Lorelai screamed when he did this, but she still kept her hands up for the rest of the ride. Rory and Paris put their hands up in the first tunnel and kept them up for the rest of the ride.
"So, was that worth it." Luke asked after they got off of the ride and walked into the picture room.
Lorelai thought for a second, "Hell yeah. Except for the part where we got stuck. That wasn't so much fun." Lorelai said. She looked at the picture. "Oh my God, we are do getting pictures for this ride." She said excitedly and walked up to the counter.
"Hello ma'am.What would you like?" The lady said.
"Well first of all," Lorelai looked at the lady's nametag, "Sandy, don't call me ma'am. It makes me feel old. Second, I would like to get pictures."
"Ok, would you like that framed or would you like a keychain?" Sandy asked.
"Hmmm. How about…four key chains, and three framed pictures." Lorelai replied.
"Ok, which pictures would you like."
"Um, two of those ones in key chains," Lorelai said, pointing to the picture with her and Luke, "And also get two of those framed." She then pointed to the picture with Rory and Paris, "I would also like one of those framed and two in key chains."
"Um, Lorelai?" Luke started.
"Yes Luke?"
"Why did you get all of those?" Luke asked.
"Oh. Well, I got each of us a framed picture. You can put one in your house. Then I got Rory and Paris one frame, since they share a dorm. And then I just got each of us a keychain." Lorelai answered. "That way, we all have a memory of Cedar Point."
"Ok." He replied.
After they got their pictures, they decided that they were just going to walk around for a while until they found a ride. It was starting to get hot, so they got some Dippin' Dots.
"Wow, these are really good." Rory said. The rest nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, I'm not a big ice cream fan, but these are really good." Luke said.
They all sat at a bench. "You guys do realize that its like, ten thirty in the morning and we're eating ice cream." Paris said.
"Yes, but we were hungry!" Lorelai said.
"Mom, I'm gonna go get a napkin." Rory said.
"Why?" Lorelai asked.
Rory showed Lorelai her shirt, which she dropped some Dippin' Dots on. She started to get up. "Paris, come with me." She said and Paris followed. Ten minutes later, they came back. "Hey, we're back." Paris said. Both girls had a large smile plastered on their face.
"I see that. What took you guys so long." Lorelai asked them. "And why do you guys look like you turned into Barbie?"
"Well…huh?" Rory was going to say something then got confused at her mother for the Barbie comment.
"Um, hello, get a mirror. You both look like you ran into Ken." Lorelai said then imitated the girls' smiles.
"Oh, well, we met some guys." Rory said.
"What?" Luke asked defensively.
"Yeah, they are really cute, and they started flirting with us, then poof, we kinda…hit it off." Rory said cheerily? Paris just nodded her head vehemently.
"Ok…" Lorelai said, urging them to continue.
"And so, we were wondering if they could come along with us. You know, I'm single. Paris isn't, but she can just hang with the other dude."
"Do you know their names?" Lorelai asked.
"Zach and Jared." Rory said.
"Um…I have a better idea. Why don't you go with them and me and Luke will just hang. Then we can meet in a couple hours to all hang together. That way, you can decide if you really like these guys or not." Lorelai said. Luke looked at her like she was crazy.
"Really?" Paris asked excitedly.
"Yes, you go socialize, and Luke and I will meet you for lunch." Lorelai said.
"Ok…where will we meet?" Rory asked.
"You have your cell right?" Rory nodded. "I'll call you then."
"Ok…um," Rory turned around. "That's them right there." She pointed to two boys by a bench by a lemonade stand. One guy had blonde hair, was really tall and wore glasses. The other guy was black and he looked like a basketball player. They were both muscular. The girls' said goodbye to Luke and Lorelai and walked over to the guys.
"Are you crazy!" Luke yelled at Lorelai.
"What?"
"You just let them go off with two strangers!" Luke said angrily.
"Yeah. Rory has good judgement, and if she likes them, than they are obviously ok guys." Luke gave her a look that said 'I can't believe that you did that'. "Come on Luke, They're adults. They'll date guys and break up with guys and guys will break up with them. They'll meet bad people. And fall in love…again. I can't shelter Rory forever and I definitely can't tell Paris what to do. They obviously wanted to hang with these guys and I trust them. So should you."
"It's not them that I don't trust." Luke said.
"I don't trust them either, but Rory and Paris both know how to scream. And Rory has her cell phone if she needs to call me." Lorelai said.
"Fine." Luke grumbled. "Let's go."
They started walking. "Hey your shorts are so true." A guy said to Lorelai, obviously he caught the 'Sexy' on them.
"Um…thanks." Lorelai replied.
"No prob." He said.
Luke looked at her in awe. "Are you just gonna let him say that to you?"
"Luke, hello, wake up. The point of shorts that have writing on the butt is for people to look at my butt. And if he thinks that my butt is sexy, than that is a compliment my friend." She explained. "Now if I had a boyfriend, I would be a little offended, but since I don't have a boyfriend, people can call my butt sexy and flirt with me all they want."
Luke laughed at her. "Ok."
They walked for about five minutes and hadn't said anything. So Lorelai had to say something. "Hey, did you know that there are like twenty different ways to say butt."
"Oh yeah?" Luke laughed.
"Yeah, let's see…butt, ass, buttocks, bottom, backend, fanny, hinny, rear, rump, seat, bum, booty, gluteus maximus, behind, exit, pooper…" Luke gave her a strange look after the last two that she said. Then they both started cracking up.
"Pooper?" Luke laughed.
"Yeah, I lost it at 'behind' I didn't know any others and I had to get to twenty. So I filled it in with the two right in the top of my mind." Lorelai explained.
"And you still didn't get to twenty." He told her. She shrugged. "We're at Cedar Point. Don't you think that there is more that we can talk about than the many ways to say butt."
Lorelai laughed. "Yeah, but then again…It is me." Lorelai said.
Just then, Lorelai's cell phone went off. "What the hell is that?" Luke asked.
"Give me my cell." Lorelai said. She gave her cell phone to Luke when they put all of their stuff in the locker because he had pockets. So he gave it to her. "Huh, not a number that I recognize." She said, then answered it. "Hello"
"Hi." A woman said angrily.
"Who is this?" Lorelai was bewildered.
Haha. Cliffhanger. I'm writing this late, so I'm gonna go to bed. I have to get up early tomorrow. But anyway, I'll update ASAP.
