Thursday- Crap Shack
While Tristan and Rory were studying in the living room, with the occasional pause to talk about something non- school related, Lorelai came bouncing in and decided that she would try to get in on the study session.
"So, hows the studying going?" she asked rather happily.
"Fine mom, but um, if you really want us to finish before the meeting, you should probably go back and bother Luke," Rory answered without even looking up from her history book.
"Aw Rory! You're no fun! Bible Boy!" Lorelai called out in a sing- song voice.
"Yeah Lorelai?" came his uneasy reply.
"Do you remember how back at the diner you said I could borrow your guitar anytime I wanted?"
"Yes..." Tristan answered, having a funny feeling that he knew where this was going.
Thursday- Ms. Patty's- Town Meeting (8:05)
Rory, Lorelai, Tristan, and Luke casually walked into the town meeting twenty minutes late. They knew Taylor would be mad, but that would be nothing compared to how mad he would be once he saw what they had planned.
"Really Lorelai, Luke, would it kill you to try and get here before the meeting starts? Think about the impression you are making on young Rory and her male friend," Taylor bellowed as soon as the four walked in.
"And such a good looking male friend at that!" Patty added.
"Go on Taylor, just continue. Don't let us bother your agenda," Lorelai coolly replied as the she took her seat in the back row.
"As I was saying, the town troubador is going on vacation and this made me realize that even though I personally do not care for his work, I feel we may need someone to take his place temporarily," Taylor started, and unfortunately, before he could continue, Rory whispered 'now' to Tristan and her mom, who were all looking rather smug.
"OOOOHHHHH! Taylor! Please, please, PLEASE! let me take his spot!" Lorelai shouted, bouncing up and down excitedly.
"Lorelai, first you come in late, then you interupt me for a second time, and on top of that you volunteer for something that you are most certainly not qualified for," Taylor began again, only to be cut off once again, this time by both Rory and Tristan.
"Please Taylor! She actually is qualified and can even prove it now!" Rory began, with Tristan echoing 'please Taylor, er Mr. Doose!' every few seconds.
"Well..." Taylor said uneasily.
"Tristan! Guitar!" Lorelai shouted as Tristan passed her his acoustic guitar. "This is a little song I like to call 'Ode To Coffee'!" Lorelai then proceeded to sing/shout a poem she had written on the way in about how much she loved her coffee, especially Luke's coffee. As she did this, she randomly strummed the strings and changed her fingers to what she believed were chords to create, in her mind, the greatest song ever written.
"Coffee! Coffee! I do adore you!
You make me feel warm- so true!
Every morning you're what I drink,
just so I can begin to think!
Even though you are always good,
Luke's coffee is what I would drink all the time if I could!
Whether morning, noon, or night,
I consume you with my right!
Oh Coffee, Coffee!
I love you!"
She then went into a chorus, which Rory and Tristan helped her with (background vocals, of course), until Taylor was shouting so loud that one could have sworn that Patty was beginning to go deaf.
"ENOUGH! Lorelai, please, controll yourself and your daughter, and her friend!" When Lorelai finally sat down, Taylor decided that he had had enough for the night and adjourned the meeting.
Back at Luke's after the meeting (closed party)
"Did you see how red Taylor's face got! I could have sworn that he was going to just collapse if I didn't stop!" Lorelai chocked out between fits of laughter. She, Luke, Rory, and of course Tristan were sitting in Luke's laughing over the events at the meeting. Luckily, they had planned ahead and had Luke video tape the event so that it could be reviewed later, hopefully at a public event.
"Yes! Oh my! It was brilliant!" Rory added, almost doubled over from laughing so hard.
"I will have to come to more of these if they're this eventful! People in Hartford have no idea what they're missing!" Tristan added as he slipped his arm around Rory's waist, so that she could lean on him for support, in a half hug mannor.
"That you will Tristan!" Rory added while beaming at him happily (which he easily returned).
"And you'll have to bring your guitar, you know, just to scare Taylor!" Luke added while grabbing Lorelai's hand before pouring her a cup of coffee.
A/N- Well, there you have it. Yes, im sorry its short, but its kind of late, im kind of tired, and i just wanted to give everyone a little something so that you guys didnt think i abandoned this completely.
Review please and make my week (which included not making the field hockey team and having one of my relatives die...not that those are excuses for updating...oops! haha!)
