Thank you for your reviews.
Lorelai playfully stomped down the stairs. When she finished going down the stairs, she plopped down on the last step, and looked back. She was curious why Luke acted…she searched for the right word, so…so…guilty. And fishing, she chuckled, what kind of excuse is that? But knowing Luke it was probably nothing, but that didn't mean she wouldn't snoop. Besides, she wanted to play Nancy Drew, her ultimate hero when she was 9 or 10. You know what they say, that the inner child never dies; unless they were talking about Luke. She smiled at the memory. She remembered how she used to hide the books from her parents, and sometimes herself. Absently looking at her hands, she was surprised how much has changed.
Lorelai stood up and walked out. Passing Patty and Babbette she gave them a friendly wave. Babbette jokingly whistled at Lorelai, and she and Patty had a great laugh. Then she went back to gossiping.
Before Lorelai knew, she ended up in front of her house. She went inside, and sat down on her couch. Listening to the stillness brought Lorelai's thoughts to her mother. Grimacing, she thought back to yesterday when her mother, once again, tried to do what's "best" for Lorelai. At that Lorelai had to laugh, she knew that her mother loved her, without doubt, but her mother really did what was best for Emily, not Lorelai. She sat back and let the memories pour in.
Emily: I only want the best for her, and since she is incapable of judging what is right and what is wrong, I had to step in! I had to act!
Richard: Yes, you did. You acted and it backfired.
Richard: Your mother did what she thought –
Lorelai: Whoa, just stop right there. I'm not interested in why Mom did what she did.
Emily: Why won't you come to Friday dinner? Whatever happened between the two of you, I obviously fixed it, so –
Lorelai: You fixed it? You broke it! Just because Luke and I found a way to repair the damage doesn't erase the fact that it happened!
Emily: What I did I did out of concern.
Lorelai: Oh, please!
Emily: As your mother, I have the right to be concerned. Especially when it looks like you're taking your life down a completely disastrous path. I had to jump in, and –
Lorelai growling: Mom!
Emily shocked: Lorelai!
Lorelai: Please hear me. If I want your input in my life in any way, shape or form, I will ask for it. Until then, do us all a favor and shut up!
Lorelai shuddered, remembering how close she was to losing Luke, and of course it was all her mother's fault. She knew that blaming her mother was at bit childish, but if anyone had the same neurotic mother, they would probably agree with her.
Lorelai shifted into a different laying position, and tried to forget her mother.
Rory walked in, and found her mother sleeping on the couch. Cautiously she approached her and leaning closely she shook her mother "Mom, wake up."
Lorelai tried to shoo Rory away, as if she was shooing a fly.
Rory knew that her mother wouldn't wake up, so she went to the kitchen to get the 'waking weapon'. She quickly got a mug and filled it with water, and walked back to the couch.
Rory dipped her hand in the mug, and then started sprinkling her mother. Dip after dip Lorelai finally woke up, and grabbed the mug and poured out the remaining contents on her daughter.
Squealing, Rory ran to the kitchen, grabbed another mug, filled it with water, and ran back to the living room, and found her mother with the mug already filled with water.
Screaming like madwomen, the two dumped the contents on each other, and ran to fill them up.
Five minutes later, the two were soaked and were laughing their brains out.
Finally Lorelai turned to her daughter "Hon, what did you want?"
"Sookie called and told me you were not at the inn. She sounded worried so I came over, found you dead asleep, and tried to wake you up." After a quick laugh she continued "I thought how you wake a Sleeping Beauty? Kiss her? Not a good idea since I'm not her prince, so I did the next best thing."
Lorelai laughed "Thanks honey. I'm fine. I just went to visit Luke. He wasn't there so I waited, and when he came back and saw me he acted very guilty."
"You think he's got himself a Sock-Woman?"
Lorelai playfully jabbed her daughter "Of course not." Then "honey, I think he's up to something. So I was hoping you help me out."
Rory laughed "Well, look who died and made you Nancy Drew?"
"We will start snooping tomorrow at midnight." Then she walked upstairs to change from her wet clothes. After she changed she came downstairs, said goodbye to Rory, and drove to work.
Please review, because I want to know if I should keep going. So please review. I don't care if it just two words. Anything would be fine with me. Preferably a nice review, but if you have it in for me well I don't know what I can do about that.
