Disclaimer: Not mine, don't shoot. Just kidding but seriously not mine.

Here's the next chapter you've been waiting for.

I sat next to mom she was reading a copy of Seventeen that she'd brought with her onto the plane. I pulled out my CD player and popped in my The Clash CD. It played London's Calling and I thought about how appropriate the song was. I listened to the disk 2 times through and then finally turned it off.

I pulled out Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen and started reading. I read the whole book through and when I looked over at Mom she was passed out in her chair. I put away my book silently and then quietly took away the Seventeen magazine from Mom.

I started reading and I felt Mom shifting in her uncomfortable seat. She opened her eyes.

"Hey that's mine!"

"Well you were asleep!"

"Your point it?"

"Nothing, here" I handed the magazine back.

The intercom came on. "We have two more hours until we land."

I grabbed my other book, The Catcher in the Rye and started reading that.

After 30 minutes I realized Mom was staring at me. I turned my head and said "What"

"You read way too much"

"It's not way too much, and you just realized this now?"

"Yep"

"What about the past 18 years of reading I've done?"

"Didn't notice"

"You are strange"

"And I gave birth to you"

"Whatever" And I went back to my book.

Next thing I know, I heard over the loud speaker, "Please fasten your seatbelts we are about to descend."

I put away my book and but up my tray table. And tightened by already fastened seatbelt. I heard the faint "Click" of Mom's seatbelt.

We descended and I felt my eyes pop. We came into the runway and the plane stopped next to the terminal. "Welcome to London" the pilot said. "Enjoy your visit"

We grabbed our bags from the carousels and we walked out into London. I looked around in Aw, it was so different. Mom went up to a phone booth, and looked in the phone book for a hotel. "I found a cheap one 8 blocks from here. Want to walk or take a cab?"

"We have no money to spare for a cab! So we are walking."

I saw that tousled blonde hair but it again disappeared. This was starting to scare me. Because I felt like I knew him but I just couldn't figure out who he was.

Mom was already half a block away when she stopped and turned around. "Hurry up!"

"I'm coming I'm coming."

We got to the hotel and mom was right it was pretty cheap. We checked in. Luckily they had a room empty. We walked to room 116.

It looked like a Motel 6 or something equivalent. There was two twin beds and a small bathroom. We put down our bags all 4 of them plus our large backpacks. I dropped onto to one of the beds. The red one on the left. The other was blue.

"This is definitely the way to see Europe even if it's not 5 star hotels."

"Yep it is."

"Ok we need food. Let's go."

"Sure! I'm starved!"

We left the room and locked the door and we walked down one of the main streets. There was a normal looking grill that looked good so we walked in.

We looked at the menu, it was reasonably priced and everything sounded good. We ordered 2 orders of Baby Back Ribs because they were the special and 2 orders of fries. And we didn't forget the coffee of course!

We devoured the food as soon as we got it. We were Gilmores after all right?

We paid and left. We walked around for a while down the street. I saw all the fancy hotels and restaurants after a while and I saw that blonde hair again. I was getting sick of this.

"Mom, who do we know who is blonde?"

"Um, Sherri, Zach, Paris, Louise, Tristan"

"Tristan!"

"That's who it is, I think"

"Who?"

"I keep seeing this blonde guy everywhere and I know that I know him form somewhere. But I'm not sure it's him. It would we really weird seeing him again"

"Wouldn't it though?"

"Ok new topic"

"It's getting late, We should get back to the hotel"

"Your right, we should."

"So shall we?" She put out her arm.

"We shall!" I linked arms with my best friend.

We got back to the hotel shortly and we got changed and into bed.

"So interesting day?"

"Yep"

"We didn't do anything exciting though!"

"Tomorrow then I guess!"

"Oi with the poodles already!"

"Goodnight night mom."

"Goodnight sweets"
