Luke wrapped a towel around his waist and grabbed another smaller towel to dry his hair. Walking out of the bathroom he noticed Lorelai putting on her coat.
"Hey, where you going?"
"I have numbers three and four to do" Lorelai spoke as she moved around the apartment, picking up her bag and checking it to make sure she hadn't forgotten anything.
"Numbers three and four?"
"Sookie and the gossip queens" She put down her bag and began waving her arms over her head.
"What on earth are you doing?"
"This is my warning, next time I see either Babbette or Miss Patty I'm telling them everything"
"Where's the red flag?"
"You know? Forgot my red bloomers! If I'd had them I could have stuck them on sticks and warned the oncoming train"
"Your mind works in mysterious ways"
"The Railway Children Luke! We have got to get you watching more movies!"
"How about you start watching less?" Lorelai gasped dramatically.
"Not possible!" They kissed each other goodbye, Luke held her waist, letting the kiss linger. The broke apart and Lorelai moved towards the door.
"Red bloomers?" Luke asked as she opened the door. Lorelai laughed.
"I'll see what I can do" She replied before disappearing down the corridor.
She skipped out of the diner quickly, hoping to avoid any big conversations. She was desperate to get to Sookie's so she could scream and jump about. She practically ran across town, knocking loudly on Sookie's door when she finally arrived. The door opened slowly and Sookie appeared.
"Not so loud! I've only just got Ava to sleep!" Sookie whispered.
"Sorry, but I have to tell you the big news!"
"What? What is it?" Lorelai held up her left hand.
"I'm engaged!" Sookie grabbed Lorelai and pulled her into a hug.
"Oh my god! This is so great! I see salmon!"
"Salmon?" Lorelai pulled away and gave her a confused look.
"Wedding buffet and you'll have to have a chocolate wedding cake ooh! A chocolate and coffee cake!"
"You do know that Luke won't eat it if it's chocolate and coffee"
"More for you!"
"True"
"Let's go out for some coffee, you can tell me everything that happened and then we can scream a lot"
"The screaming is a must but what about Ava and Davey?" Sookie grabbed her purse from the front door and called into the house.
"Jackson, Lorelai got engaged so were going somewhere else to scream. I'll be back in an hour!" Thy heard a muffled okay the headed down the front steps. Out on the front lawn Sookie turned to Lorelai.
"So where are we going?"
"My house, there's coffee there plus, no babies to accidentally wake up"
"Not yet anyway!" Sookie smiled. "I'm so happy for you Lorelai"
"Well I'm happy for me too"
As they reached Lorelai's house they both noticed Babbette and Miss Patty sitting outside Babbette's house in sun loungers, a funny looking cocktail in each hand.
"Hey Dolls!" Babbette greeted.
"Hey!" Lorelai and Sookie walked towards them.
"Have you heard the latest?" Miss Patty asked, taking a sip of her drink through a pink straw.
"Actually I have some gossip for you" Lorelai answered.
"Impossible darling, we're always the first to know everything"
"Yeah, there's nothing you know that we don't already know!"
"Lorelai's engaged!" Sookie jumped in. Lorelai gave her a look. "Sorry! I couldn't hold it in any longer!" Babbette jumped out of her seat and grabbed Lorelai's hand, taking a good look at the ring.
"Patty would you look at this ring! Luke has taste! You wouldn't be able to tell from the flannel but this is a beaut!"
"Thanks" Lorelai couldn't help but smile.
"I knew you two would end up together, its just destiny"
"Come on Patty, we have gossip to spread!" Babbette cried.
"But what about my Blue Lagoon?" Patty replied.
"Bring it with you!" Patty picked up the blue drink and followed Babbette down the street. Lorelai and Sookie laughed. The turned round and headed into Lorelai's house. Screaming was heard coming from the house only moments later.
