Moments Later
The girls are still 'power-walking' through the street
"Mom! Woah. Slow DOWN. What's wrong? You look sick or something." Rory says as Loralai continues to hustle down the street, apparently headed to Luke's diner
"What an outrage! I just.. I mean... and HER. So perky..." Loralai, who cant seem to form complete sentences.
They finally walk in, Luke, seeing that Loralai looks sort of upset immediately pours her a cup of coffee.
"I have got to get to the bottom of this. And to make matters WORSE, she's from CA. She's all perky and blonde. I'm surprised she just doesn't but on a bikini and roller-blade through the store." Loralai says as she dumps packet after packet of sugar into her coffee.
"All though I know it makes NO sense that I am actually Emily and Richard's blood offspring. I must have been switched at birth.
Luke now takes away the sugar. Loralai begins furiously stirs her coffee.
"Even WORSE! It was the 'summer of love' and they went to San Francisco. All that frolicking in the Golden Gate Park.. what a strange trip that must have been..."
"You know, sweetened caffeine is the last thing you need right now. Let me make you a nice cup of tea." Luke says as he tries to take the mug of coffee away. Loralai gives him the evil death stare and he backs off.
"I have a half sister. Oh no. I could have half-brothers, and half cousins..." Loralai says as panic fills her eyes, "WHAT ABOUT RORY? She could have a quarter sister. What if she's a half-AUNT?"
"I can't stand to see you like this." Luke says as he grabs the phone and dials a number. "(into phone)Taylor?"
Loralai dials a number on her cell, and waits for the person to pick up. "Dad? Or should i call you Richie? Remember that summer in San Francisco you and Mom had?
"The new store... Who Owns it?" Luke asks taylor
"So how am I supposed to make up for all the christmas cards for Half-Aunt BETTY, HUH?" Loralai says to her father
"Oh... I see." Luke says
"You know exactly what i mean. Don't play dumb with me Richard.. if that is your real name. Is your name Geraldo? Or hey, What about Jose? HUh? HUH!" Loralai says to her father
Luke attempts to get her attention as she continues to yell at her father.
"Did you meet any pretty blonde women on the trip? Did she pick YOUR watch from a fishbowl?"
Luke frantically waves his arms, signaling loralai to stop. He scribbles 'Loralai gilmoore! not gilmore!'
"Who is this Geraldo fellow? And for Christ's sake WHY would I but my watch into a fishbowl?" Richard says into the phone
Loralai snaps back to reality.
"Exactly, why would you. Love to stay and chat, but i left the iron on, and i have this thing.. and... see you friday! Send my love to Emily!" Loralai says, then she hangs up the phone.
AT THE TOWN'S THEATER (which at this moment, i can't for the LIFE of me remember what its name is. Red and Black? Or red and White? argh.)
Loralai and luke are in the front row, watching Pretty in Pink.
"Oh, here's my favorite part!" Loralai whispers
On the screen, Molly Ringwald sews the pink dress and is about to put it on.
"This is the reason I began sewing," she said, "Okay. Here's the big moment.."
Suddenly there is a loud siren, but instead of that weee woo weee woo that NORMAL sirens make, this one is Taylor's voice.
"Citizens of Stars Hollow! Sorry to interrupt your evening, but.."
All of the sudden a real siren comes on and an automated voice takes over..
"Emergency! Everyone seek shelter! There is a severe.."
"KIRK you dolt! you hit the wrong BUTTON," Taylor says, "Do not seek shelter. There is no severe weather warning. However, there is an emergency town meeting in fifteen minutes.
TOWN HALL, LATER
As the chatty crowd begins to sit down, Taylor commands the podium and strikes his gavel. In the back, Luke and Loralai look around for seats.
"There's two over there!" Loralai says in a loud whisper.
They stroll over to the two empty seats, but the Blonde Loralai snatch them. The man is a CA reincarnation of luke. Same build, but frosted hair and an even tan.
"Everyone, Settle Down! We have VERY important business to attend to!" Taylor says
"Sure thing, except Luke and I were about to take our seats when Ken and Barbie over here took our..." Loralai says to Taylor
"Please Loralai, Just stand in the back. We need to begin," Taylor says as Loralai reluctantly stand to the side," As you may know, Stars Hollow tourism is at it's ALL time low, and has been declining for many, many years.
"If this is another stupid scheme to open a museum for your doll collection, I'm going to kick you in the family jewels. I have a cake in the oven." Babette says.
"Please, they're HISTORICAL FIGURINES. And no. It's not like that," Kirk dashes on stage and holds up a chart, "I'm afraid we're going to have to double property taxes to make up for it."
Everyone looks outrages. The begin to yell at each other and complain about this new tax thing. Taylor bangs his gavel.
"Settle DOWN! THere is One alternative which can save us all our hard-earned money AND give us a large state-of-the-art sporting complex! We could re-pave all the roads, overhaul out covered bridge that we never raised enough money for and all of this will FINALLY out my.. OUR town on the Triple A road map as a point of interest for the highway passerby."
"Wait a minute. This makes no sense whatsoever," Luke chimes in, "First you tell us the town is broke and we're gonna have to double the taxes and NOW you say we have enough money for all these improvements?"
The crown agrees, and the people get louder. Taylor bangs the gavel again.
"Let me give the floor to someone who can explain..."
AN: ok. strange place to stop but my head really hurts. more tomorrow!
