Sorry I took forever for me to update, I was writing some other stuff and school started. They screwed I'm my schedule so I'm pissed. Anyhoo, this is the next installment.

A Different Kind of Family

So was that Adolf on the phone?

Here I am shopping for my new bedroom, in my new home, with my new family. This has been an interesting week. My mom died, I met my dad for the first time, and his fiancé. I also found out that I will be having a little half sibling and moved to Star's Hollow, Connecticut.

As we entered Target, Maria headed for the CDs to the left of the door. I just wanted to get my stuff and get out of here. It was a long ride back to Star's Hollow, and I wanted to get this over with. Eventually we made our way over to the housewares section. I saw a nice Blue and Green plaid flannel comforter and picked it up off the shelf.

"What about this one?" I ask.

Lorelai looked up and grinned. "That's perfect." She said and started laughing.

She's crazy. But I like her.

Maria picked out a Black (Shock!) comforter and sheets, and then we headed back to Star's Hollow to get Luke.

3 Days Later

Our real beds arrived at the house today. Lorelai was very excited about this. She keeps mentioning something about a raft.

"No more rafts ever again!" Lorelai announces as the bed was placed in Matthew's room.

"Why do you keep mentioning a raft?" I ask, I am curious.

"Well a about four years ago, Luke's nephew came to live with him." Lorelai started as she pulled out my sheets. "You have to understand that at the time Luke still lived above the Diner. He was very unprepared to have a seventeen-year old who'd been getting into trouble coming to live with him. He bought an inflatable bed for Jess, his nephew, to sleep on. I like to tease him about it." She told him.

"Oh. Where is Jess?" I ask.

"Ummm, I believe he is currently residing in New York." Lorelai said as she finished making up the bed.

"Does he ever visit?" I asked her. She's not telling me something.

"Um, he came into town last year for his Mom's wedding. We haven't seen him since then, but Luke calls him once a week to check up on him." Lorelai said.

"Oh." I say nodding. "So, what about your daughter? Does she visit often?" I ask.

She paused midway through spreading my comforter over the bed. "Uh she does, every now and then." Lorelai choked out.

Hmm… how odd. Just as I was about to inquire her further, Maria came into my room.

"Hey, I'm gonna go and check out that music store in town, you wanna come?" She asked me.

"Um, sure." I tell her.

At The Music Store

"So, I was talking to Lorelai today and she told me about the raft." I say.

"Oh yeah? What's that all about?" Maria asks as she is sifting through vinyl.

"Apparently Luke's nephew came to live with him 4 years ago because he was getting into trouble. And Since Luke was living over the Diner he didn't have a bed for him he got an inflatable bed for him." Matthew explained.

"Hmm… I would have thought it would have had a dirtier explanation behind it." She replied. "So where is this mysterious and nameless nephew of Luke's?" She asks.

"Oh his name's Jess. He lives in new York." I replied. God I really want to get out of here it smells strange and there's a woman with blond curly hair and big boobs staring at me.

Later that Night

"So, school starts Tomorrow." Lorelai prompts.

"Yep." Maria says.

"Yeah. I hope registration doesn't take too long." I reply.

After another awkward lull in dinner conversation the phone rang, Luke practically lunged for the phone.

"Hello?" He said into the phone.

"Hi Emily," Luke looks at Lorelai and she shakes her head violently.

"Yeah she's not here right now…uh huh I'll let her know you called." He said hanging up.

"So was that Adolf on the phone?" Loreali asked cheerfully.

"Lorelai," Luke started rolling his eyes. "I know I'm not the biggest fan of your mother, but she IS your Mother. You're going to have to talk to her eventually." Luke told her.

"Uh huh. Sure honey." She told him.

How odd. She calls her mother Adolf, as in Hitler? Something is definitely going on. Whatever, they're really good at hiding things here. I'm just gonna go to bed.

Matthew's First Day at School

Upon walking into Star's Hollow High with Luke, Lorelai, and Maria, I noticed a few things. One was that we were being stared at. Another thing that I noticed was that was a lot of trophies in the case out in the hall. That had to mean that the athletics were good at this school. While we were waiting in the hall to meet with the guidance counselor, I wondered over to the trophy case and looked at the awards. A lot of them were old, most of them from the eighties. I looked over at the cross-country awards. I noticed one with someone familiar-looking in the picture. I looked down at the name, "Butch" Danes. Oh. My. God. My father's nickname in High School was 'Butch'. Despite myself I start to laugh and motion Maria to come over. She looks at me strangely and then joins me. I point to the picture and she shrugs. After a moment she figures it out and starts to laugh as well. Lorelai and Luke look up to see what we're laughing at and Lorelai smiles.

"Oh you found it." Lorelai says cheerily.

"Found what?" Luke asks.

"Oh you know, BUTCH." Lorelai tells him with a smirk.

"Aw geez. That's still here?" Luke asks embarrassed.

I nod. Lorelai comes over to look at the picture. She glances at me and then looks back at the picture.

"You know, you look just like him in this picture." She said thoughtfully. "Minus the outfit." She added chuckling.

I examined the picture closer. She was right. I did look just like him. I had to stop looking. I turned around just as the Guidance counselor's door opened.
