Chapter 1Friday Night Dinner
"So Lorelai how are things coming with the Dragon Fly?" Richard asked trying to break the silence
"Great actually, everything is coming together and it should be up and running by the end of May" Lorelai smiled
"That's wonderful" Email said
"And Rory, still studying hard at Yale?" Richard asked
"Of course grandpa, this week I had tons of work to do so it's great to get to go home the rest of the weekend," Rory said as she finished off her dinner
"Lorelai I have been meaning to tell you, your cousin Kelly is getting married next month and she asked for your presence, she told me to tell you since she did not have your address" Emily said
"Kelly, wow I haven't talked to her since I was fifteen" Lorelai said a little surprised
"Yes I know and she wants you and Rory to fly out with us to San Diego for the wedding" Emily stated
"What!" Lorelai said and choked on a piece of salmon
"Yes, she specifically told me that she wanted you to bring Rory and a date of course and fly down with us the whole week before the wedding"
"When is it again?" Lorelai asked
"The wedding is April, 14th so we would leave here on the 6th" Emily said
"I don't know mom with the Dragon Fly opening and Rory has Yale…"Lorelai started but was interrupted
"Actually mom I have two weeks off in April for spring break" Rory smiled
"Ok. But what about the Dragon Fly, I can't just leave for a week and a half "
"Don't worry about it I'm sure Sookie and Michel can handle it for a little while, plus I never been to California!" Rory said giving a pout
"O.k. I'll ask them but I'm only doing this for you and because I haven't seen Kelly in years" Lorelai smiled
"Thank you!" Rory smiled widely and hugged her mom
"Lorelai, don't forget you need to bring a date, Rory you are also welcomed to bring a gentleman, are you two dating anyone?" Emily asked
"Umm…yes" Lorelai said I can't bring Jason they don't know about him. Shit.
"And who is this man" Emily started
"Don't worry mom you will meet him in two weeks" Lorelai smiled
"Fine, what about you Rory?" Emily just gave up
"I'm still dating Ben, Grandma"
"Good you can bring him too" She smiled and continued to eat her dinner
The Next MorningLuke's Diner
"The largest cup of coffee you have and pronto!" Lorelai said taking a seat on a stool and putting her in her hands on the counter top
"Another night at the Gilmore's?" Luke asked pouring her a cup of coffee and sliding it over to her
"What else?" Lorelai said and sipped her heavenly cup of java
"What is it his time" Luke asked as head scrubbed the counter top
"I have to go to a wedding in two weeks in California and I have to bring a date, did I mention that I had to go to this wedding with my parents to top it all off!" She sighed heavily
"What's the problem?" Luke asked confused
"The problem is that I can't bring a date because my boyfriend is my dads business partner… and they don't know about him" She added the last part quietly
"You're dating your dad business partner since when?" Luke asked curiously
"Since two months ago and yes I am, what am I going to do I need a damn date!" Lorelai started banging her head on the counter
"I'll be your date" Luke said simply
"What?" Lorelai's head shot up
"Yea I mean I'll be doing you a favor, and I never been to California?"
"Your serious" Lorelai said stunned
"Yup, take it or leave it" Luke stated
"Take it, thank you, thank you, thank you!" Lorelai jumped off the stool and walked around the counter and hugged Luke tightly which he returned
"No problem" Luke laughed and pulled away
"You wont be sorry I promise" Lorelai said walking to the door
"I doubt that, where are you going?" Luke said walking with her to the door
"Shopping of course!" Lorelai smiled at him
"Of course, I'm sorry" Luke said sarcastically as Lorelai walked out the diner door
Dragon Fly Inn Next Day"I can't believe he offered" Sookie said cradling a sleeping Davy
"Me either, but I am so happy he did, I have someone there to help me fend off the vultures" She laughed
"I thought Rory was going?" Sookie asked
"She is but she is bring Ben, so she will be too busy with him"
"Wow her and Ben been dating how long about 6 months?" Sookie said
"Yup, he's a great guy behind the money and the jaguar" Lorelai laughed
"So are you excited!" Sookie laughed
"Yea actually I am I mean family reunion or not what's better then hanging out in California on the beach, spending time with my daughter I never see and hanging out with my best friend" Lorelai smiled
"Yah to bad your parents will be there the whole time too" Sookie said sadly
"Great way to ruin my happiness" Lorelai teased
"Sorry Hun" Sookie said as she put Davy in the car seat that was sitting on the floor
"It's alright, I mean it's probably a big place I wont be with them that much, I hope" Lorelai said hopefully
