Chapter 11
Lorelai Gilmore's House
Lorelai just comes home; she comes through the kitchen
"Hello? Where art thou children of mine?" Lorelai said putting her handbag on the table.
Lucy laughed and Rory rolled her eyes. They were watching TV.
"We're in here!" Lucy said through her giggles.
"Hey guys." Lorelai said coming into the living room and giving each of her daughters a kiss on the head.
"Hey Mom, how was your day?" Rory asked.
"Oh it was really boring. Very uneventful." Lorelai said sitting down in between Lucy and Rory.
"I see." Lucy said.
"What about you what did you guys do today?" Lorelai asked.
They looked at each other. "Oh, nothing really, you know did stuff, yeah did stuff." Lucy and Rory said stuttering.
Lorelai looked at both of her daughters. "Uh huh. Do I have to ask or are you just going to tell me?"
"What Mom? We told you we did stuff." Lucy said.
"Yeah, we went to the bookstore and ate and now we're here." Rory added.
"So you're telling me," Lorelai said looking at her watch. "That from around noon, let's say one-ish, you guys were here watching TV?"
Rory looked at Lucy and Lucy looked at Rory and Rory said, "About that."
"Guys?"
"Yeah." Lucy said.
"You guys couldn't possibly have been sitting here for the past 4 in a half hours watching TV."
"Busted." Lucy said under her breath.
"That's right." Lorelai said feeling proud of herself. "Wow I feel like Nancy Drew when she solves a mystery."
Rory smirked and giggle to herself.
"What was that Rory?"
"Nothing." Rory said trying to hide a smile.
"Alright what's going on?"
"Nothing." Rory and Lucy said in unison.
"Really?" Lorelai said raising her eyebrow.
They nodded their heads. When Lucy wasn't looking, Rory mouthed 'Later' to Lorelai. Lorelai nodded her head.
"Okay, why don't you guys go get ready for dinner?" Lorelai said.
"Uh Mom, aren't we supposed to be at Luke's at like 7?" Lucy asked.
"Yes but we are Gilmores, we might as well just start getting ready now."
"Yeah, but I didn't bring any clothes." Rory said.
"You can borrow something from me and we, no actually you, can get your clothes tomorrow or something after your community service." Lorelai said.
"Okay, then let's go get ready."
2 hours later
Lorelai Gilmore's House
Lorelai, Rory, and Lucy are rushing to get ready
"You guys I can't find my pink handbag!" Lucy shouted up the stairs.
"Didn't you have it today?" Lorelai shouted back down.
"Yes, but I can't remember where I put it!"
"That's smart!" Rory called from her room.
"Shut up!"
"Hey you guys cut it out! This is great, we start earlier and we're still late." Lorelai says coming down the stairs.
"We'll never be ready on time. I'm telling you, it's hereditary." Lucy said.
"How can it be hereditary if my mother gives me hell about it all the time?"
Lucy shrugged her shoulders.
"I found your bag Luc." Rory said coming out of her room and handing the bag to Lucy.
"Thanks, where was it?" Lucy asked.
"In my room."
"Stealer."
"I didn't take it."
"Uh huh." Lucy said going to the door.
"I'm sorry to break up this sisterly love here, but we're late. Do we have everything?"
"I guess so, can we just go?" Lucy asked.
"Alright let's go."
Luke's Diner – Apartment
Lorelai, Rory, and Lucy just arrive
"Luke!" Lorelai said coming up the stairs. "Sorry we're late." She said giving Luke, who was standing over by the stove, a kiss.
"It's okay. I figured you'd be late anyway." Luke said.
"I told you so." Lucy said.
"Gah! You said nothing." Lorelai said pointing her finger at Lucy.
Lucy rolled her eyes.
"It doesn't matter. I started later than I expected anyway." Luke said, stirring the pot on the stove.
"You're just saying that 'cause you don't want Luc to feel bad." Lorelai said.
"Give it up Mom." Rory said.
Lorelai stuck out her tongue at Rory. It was Rory's turn to roll her eyes.
1 hour later
"Mmm that was delicious." Lorelai said wiping her mouth on a napkin.
"Uh huh." Lucy said.
"Yeah, what's for dessert?" Rory asked.
"What makes you think there's gonna be dessert?" Luke asked.
"You didn't make dessert?" Rory asked.
"That's right, tonight we eat fruit." Luke said with a hidden smile.
They all saw, but Rory continued the game.
"Mommy, there's no dessert." Rory said in pretend shock.
"No dessert?" Lorelai said putting her hand on her cheek.
"No dessert." Rory said.
"Evil man." Lorelai said.
Lucy giggled and said, "What is it really?"
"Okay close your eyes." Luke said.
"You're kidding right?" Lorelai said.
"Just do it." Luke said.
They did what they were told. Lorelai started to peek. Luke saw and he came behind Lorelai, bent down to her face, and said, "No peeking." And gave her a kiss on the cheek. Lorelai giggled.
Luke placed a plate in the center of the table. "Okay open." Luke said.
"Ooooh!" Lorelai said clapping her hands like a child.
"Wow Luke!" Lucy said. "It's-" she started and Rory finished her sentence.
"Chocolate. Chocolate truffles." Rory said.
"Aww, did you buy this at Doose's?" Lorelai asked.
"No way, I made these with my own two hands. I know you guys like chocolate, so I thought I'd make it for you." Luke said.
"Aww Luke, you didn't have to." Lorelai said.
"No, I didn't, but I did it for my girls." Luke said with a smile.
"Aww, you guys, we're 'his girls'." Lorelai said hitting Rory's shoulder slightly.
"Aww." Lucy and Rory said in unison.
"Enough with the 'awws' eat them." Luke said sitting down.
"But their so pretty." Lorelai said.
"If you don't want them I could give it to the diner customers tomorrow."
"No!" They all shouted. Luke shook his head and the Gilmore Girls began to eat the wonderful chocolate truffles Luke had made.
