Thanks to all the reviewers, you guys (and girls) are great I really appreciate it. And I tried to make this chapter longer; I know the last one was really short, because I wasn't really sure how people would like it.
Just in case you were wondering, this is supposed to take place after the episode entitled In the Clamor and The Clangor
Lorelai thought about telling Luke the truth about her and Jason the entire time she was walking home from the diner. She felt really guilty about lying to him, but then again he lied to her about stupid Nicole.
"Hey Rory," Lorelai said as she walked through her front door.
"Hey mom," Rory responded and added, "Did you know that Jennifer Lopez got flowers from Ben Affleck when she was still married to Chris Judd?"
"Have you been reading Sookie's old copies of People magazine?" Lorelai inquired, confused as to why her daughter was informing her with old info.
"Well Jackson brought them over here because Sookie can't bear to see all of the people who have broken up during her pregnancy," Rory explained.
"That does not mean you have to read them," Lorelai started.
"Well… I was bored… I thought it might do me some good to see who the former fly girl is currently dating," Rory rationalized.
"But it isn't current…therefore your excuse is not very valid," Lorelai retorted.
"Ok… let's stop this," Rory said, finally becoming the voice of reason.
"Fine," Lorelai conceded. Then she added, "So what are you doing tonight?"
"Umm… I was thinking I would hang out with Lane, we haven't talked in a while and I feel guilty about not calling more often."
"Oh….great…that's great," Lorelai smiled sincerely at her daughter and tried calmly to tell her about the little white lie she told Luke.
"What about you?" Rory asked absentmindedly.
"Oh…I am going out with Jason," she confessed. Then she squeezed in a quick, "But if anyone asks you later I went out with you, k see you later, have fun with Lane."
"Freeze," Rory looked at her mother whom she knew was leaving out a big part of this explanation. "Turn around. Explain…," Rory commanded.
"Well…ok I told Luke I was going out with you tonight," she quickly responded.
"Why did you do that?"
"Because I have issues," Lorelai said forgetting her real reason.
"Clearly," Rory agreed. "Continue."
"That's IT," Lorelai exuded.
"Oh no no no… that is not IT. That is not even close to being IT… you have miles to go just to be in the same area as IT. First of all… why did you lie to Luke?"
"Well we kind of had this weird fight yesterday about him moving in with Nicole to which I kind of wigged and I didn't want to bring up me going out with Jason because I would feel like a hypocrite," Lorelai quickly explained, hoping it made as much sense out loud as it did in her head.
"Uh-huh," Rory smirked at her mother's explanation.
"What was that uh-huh supposed to mean?" Lorelai added a little annoyed that Rory was giggling at her serious problem.
"It meant nothing mom," Rory was still grinning from ear to ear.
"No, it definitely meant something. Don't forget Rory, I birthed you… I gave you life and I can take it away," Lorelai replied lamely.
"Oh not that one again…that is the most overused mother comeback in the history of motherhood," Rory rolled her eyes.
"And when you're a mother, you'll understand why we use it."
"Well, anyway… I am not lying to Luke for you," Rory interjected.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean find another way of spending the afterlife in eternal damnation because I am not lying for you."
"Ughhh… you're such a goody goody… well maybe he won't find out."
"In Stars Hollow? That is as crazy of a concept as J.Lo actually sticking with one of her husbands," Rory replied obviously dumbfounded at her mother's forgetfulness.
"Well…whatever…I'll talk to you later.," Lorelai cried, completely exasperated.
"Have fun," Rory replied a little amused at how her mother could be so blind for so long.
