"He seemed nice." said Rory.
"He is, very nice."
"You could of said more then two words to him."
"I haven't seen him for nineteen years..they thought I was dead." Lorelai smiled.
"I know."
"Which will never happen, I will never die, everybody knows that."
"Or at least they should."
"Here here."
"So..did you love him?"
"I told you I did."
"No, I mean..really loved him, not just wow I love Leonardo DiCaprio."
"I..really love him."
"What?"
"What?"
"You said love..not loved."
"W-What.."
"You said I really love him, not I really loved him.."
"I don't know what your talking about."
"You still love him don't ya?" smiled Rory. Lorelai looked down and back up with a small smile.
"Yeah..yeah I do."
"Then tell him!"
"What?"
"Tell him you love him!"
"What! Thats crazy! I disappear for years and come back randomly and tell Luke that I love him..and what if he doesn't feel the same way? Them I'm screwed.."
"Screwed funny you should use that word, hey maybe if you do tell him he will..."
"Rory!" Rory started to giggle. "Yup, definitely your mothers daughter."
"Compliment?"
"Uh, how could it not be?"
"What was I thinking?"
"Only God knows."
Just then a young girl came zipping down the street. She bumped into Rory and dropped a bag filled with CDs.
"Oh sorry." said Rory.
"Don't worry.." said the girl. They both bent down to pick up the CDs.
"Wow, I love this Cd!" said Rory.
"Me too, I also have the first one..and the one with all the remixs. I didn't really want it, but it has one great song on it, I would die if I didn't own..I'm Lane."
"I'm Rory..this is my mother Lorelai."
"Nice to meet you." smiled Lorelai.
"You too..."
"Wow, you must have like fifty CDs in here..wait, why is there a bible in here?"
"My mother wont let the evil rock music in the house, the bible is the decoy."
"Got it. Hey, I didn't even know this CD came out yet!"
"It came out last Friday, there's this great place in town they sell great music for a great price..want me to show you?" Rory turned and looked at her mother.
"Go, have fun."
"Thanks." Rory said. She hugged her mother and ran off with Lane. Lorelai smiled and stared at her surroundings. She still couldn't believe she was really here.
"Lorelai!" Lorelai turned around and saw Luke walking up to her. She smiled.
"Hey! What's up?"
"I just want you to know..that I am really happy your back..I didn't say much back there..just want you to know that."
"Well, we both kind of played the monosyllabic part..I'm happy to be back."
"I've missed you." he said.
"I've missed you to." they started to walk.
"So..you have a kid."
"Yeah, shes great."
"She seems it..where is she now?"
"She met this girl and there hanging out."
"Oh..she has your eyes.."
"Yeah..and my love of coffee." Luke smiled.
"So..your married?"
"No..no, her father..Chris lives in California. We don't see him much..he comes down three times a year maybe more."
"Thats ruff."
"Yeah..you know shes going to Harvard."
"Really..now?"
"No, when she graduates. She wants to become a journalist. Travel the world and be that reporter on the spot..where wars and bombs are going off right in back of her."
"Very daring."
"I think shes nuts."
"Like her mother." Lorelai smiled and playfully hit Luke's arm.
"Did you know my mother had to pay for us to move."
"What?" Luke confused by her random statement.
"She came for a visit to out apartment for the first time six months ago. She told Rory and I that we are moving and she doesn't want to hear another word about it. We..don't have much money, so she had to pay.."
"Oh.."
"Yeah..did you ever realize how fast time goes?"
"Yeah, I have."
"I mean, it feels like graduation was yesterday..like I was in the hospital waiting room yesterday..its so fast.."
"Yeah, it is."
"So..Luke, ever get married?"
"No, cant say I have."
"How's your sister?"
"Liz and her son, Jess live in Maine. She's alright I guess, she only calls when she needs something."
Lorelai smiled.
"What?" Luke asked.
"What?"
"You were smiling."
"I-I was not.."
"You were to." Luke smiled.
"Now your smiling.."
"I'm smiling cause your smiling.."
"My smile makes you smile?"
"Sure.." Luke looked down.
"Hey..do you still have the horoscope?"
"What horoscope?"
"Never mind." Lorelai looked down.
"Alright.." Luke started walking again. "There's a party at Ms. Patty's tonight.."
"Who?"
"Ms. Patty, you remember, the one that pinched your cheek and made it red for the whole day.."
"Oh god.."
"Yeah, shes throwing herself a party tonight for her birthday, the whole town's invited. And since you are now apart of the town after Babette lets you in, your also invited. You and Rory should come."
"That would be nice..yeah we will." smiled Lorelai.
"Good, I'll see ya later."
"Bye."
"Bye."
Lorelai walked back to the house and when she saw Babette she got the keys. Lorelai wanted to wait for Rory to enter the house, so she sat on the porch. Time went by and Lorelai grew nervous. Rory would never stay out and not call her. She decided to look around. Lorelai walked around the town and saw nothing.
"Luke!" yelled Lorelai entering the diner.
Luke jumped. "Jeeze. What?"
"Has Rory been in here?"
"No..not since before."
"Oh God..oh God.." Lorelai ran outside. Luke ran after her.
"Lorelai, what's wrong?"
"She went with some girl to a record store like an two hours ago and she didn't call..I'm the worst, I didn't even know this girl..she was just running through the town with CDs and bibles..for all I know she could be a axe murderer and she has my baby..."
"Lorelai, clam down..was she Korean?"
"Yeah.."
"Thats just Lane Kim..shes one hundred percent harmless."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive."
"Alright, thats out of the way..but where are they?"
"Mom!" Lorelai heard someone yell. Lorelai turned around and saw Rory running up to her.
"Rory!"
"Mom, I thought we were gonna meet at the house?"
"I thought so too, but you didn't show so I thought you got lost, I mean this is a new town.
"By the looks of it, in this town you take three right turns and your back in the center.."
"But still.."
"I'm sorry mom..hey Luke."
"Oh, hey Rory.."
"Mom, Lane was talking about this party tonight, can we go?"
"Actually, I was just gonna ask if you wanted to go."
"Well I do."
"Good, I do too."
"Alright, I gotta get back to the diner..see you tonight."
"See ya, thanks." said Lorelai. Rory waved and Luke waved back before walking back to the diner.
"Mom, I don't know what to wear." said Rory back at their apartment.
"Rory, mommies having the same problem."
"Trying to look pretty for Luke?" Rory asked sticking her head out of her door.
"Shhhh."
When they were done, Rory was dressed in a long light blue gypsy skirt with a white tank top and her hair was in loose curls. Lorelai had on a black dress that showed off her figure perfectly, her hair was in a french braid with stands of hair coming out on the sides.
"Ready?"
"Ready."
When they arrived, everyone was dancing, laughing, getting drunk, or all three. Lorelai walked into the room and stood up against the wall.
"Psst." Lorelai looked around. "Psst." she heard again. Lorelai looked up and smiled.
"Andrew!" Andrew smiled.
"Hey Lorelai ..I thought it was all a rumor, you coming home."
"Yeah..its not."
"I can see that...you look great."
"So do you.."
"This is my wife..Betty." Andrew directed to the women on the left of him.
"Hello, nice to meet you...this is my daughter, Rory." Lorelai motioned for Rory to appear.
"Hey." said Rory walking up.
"Daughter?. Lorelai Gilmore spawned off."
"How nice." smiled Lorelai.
"Have you seen Luke, Sookie?"
"Yes actually..yesterday."
"Once again, I'm the last to know everything."
"Well, sorry about that.."
"No problem. Well we gotta go..see ya around." Andrew hugged Lorelai and left.
Lorelai looked around and saw Luke sitting on a chair.
"Hey you."
"Oh, hey."
"Parties nice."
"Yeah, I guess."
All of a sudden 'Reflecting Light' by Sam Phillips came on.
"Oh, oh, oh..I love this song, dance with me!"
"I don't dance."
"You danced with me before.." Luke glared. "Please." she pouted.
"Fine."
They started dancing. Lorelai wrapped her arms around Luke's neck and he had his arms around her waist.
"I didn't forget.." said Luke.
"What?"
"The horoscope..I didn't forget."
"Oh.." Lorelai smiled. "Hey Luke?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you think...never mind."
"What?" Lorelai looked up. They stared into each others eyes.
"Do you think this could be a second chance..for us?" Luke paused.
"I hope so." Lorelai smiled and before she knew it, they were in a deep kiss.
Rory stood talking with Lane.
"Hey, isn't that your mom, kissing Luke Danes?" asked Lane. Rory turned around and saw her mother lock lips with the diner man. A smile crept on her face.
"Yeah..yeah thats her."
"Do they even know each other?"
"Yeah. They do."
"Thats good."
"Yeah, its good."
Rory watched her mother dance with a smile on her face. Both Lorelai and Luke's foreheads her touching. Rory smiled, her mother never looked this happy in a long time.
"Its very good."
