"So a little birdy told me that you had dinner with Francine Hayden." Lorelai spat into the phone.

"Shit, shit and double shit!" Rory thought as she tried to think of a response.

-GG-

"Uh, mom, who did you hear that from?" Rory asked, panicking

"My mother. WHY DID I HAVE TO HEAR THIS FROM MY MOTHER?" Lorelai yelled.

"Mom, what the hell is your problem?" Rory asked.

"Why did you have dinner with her and why didn't you tell me about it?"

"She called me, asked, and I accepted. Bing bang boom, done."

Lorelai sighed. "I just don't want you to get sucked in, then get hurt. Why didn't you talk to me about it? I could have told you anything you wanted to know about her."

"No mom. You couldn't have. We could of talked about this then you tell me everything bad about her. I wanted to get my own impression."

"Why? Didn't get a good enough one at the dinner your grandmother orchestrated when you were 16?"

"Grandma explained that. She said that grandfather just found out about his illness and he was taking it out on everybody."

"Now she is grandma?" Lorelai spat.

"Yes." Rory said firmly. "Mom, I'm almost back at Yale.I will talk to you later."

"RORY-'

-GG-

Rory closed her phone and sighed. She pulled into her parking spot near her dorm and rested her head against the head rest and closed her eyes. She heard a knock on the window.

She screamed in fright while her eyes flew open and darted around .

She frowned when she saw that it was just Colin grinning sheepishly.

"Hey. I was on my way to the pub when I saw you pull up." He said.

"So you decide to scare the shit out of me? Thank you so much." Rory said sarcastically.

"Anytime." Colin dismissed. "Now you look like you could use a drink."

"I could." Rory agreed.

"Dinner went that bad?" Colin said sympathetically.

"No, dinner was surprisingly good." Rory said with a sigh. "It was my mom finding out that makes me need a drink."

"What happened?" Colin asked, slipping his arm around her waist.

"I guess my grandmother called her and let her know that I was had dinner with her, because we ran into the Gilmore grandparents when we were walking out. My mom called me and sounded mad that I agreed to meet with her when I didn't talk to her about it first."

"Why would she get upset about that?"

"Its just the way she is. We are supposed to talk about everything. That's how its supposed to work. She is Lorelai Gilmore and I'm just her mini-me."

"Mini-me?" Colin said with a chuckle.

"Shut up. It's a thing she does." Rory defended. "Hey look, The Pub. Lets go in."

"Are you changing the subject?" He teased.

"No. Look! Logan and Finn. Lets go."

"Subject changer."

"Screw you."

"Next week babe, next week."

"UGH! I need a drink." Rory said as she sat down.

"Woman after my own heart! Marry me!" Finn responded.

"Sorry Finn."

"Yea! She's taken." Colin yelled.

"Uh, Colin, conference. Now!" Rory said dragging him away.

"Ok?"

-GG-

"What was that about?" Rory demanded as soon as they stepped outside the pub.

"What?"

"The whole 'she's taken' thing."

"Well, um, uh, yeah." Colin said lamely.

"Did you mean it?" Rory asked softly.

"Yeah."

"Good." Rory said, pulling him into a deep kiss.

"Man, we should of had this conversation a while ago." Colin murmured when they broke apart for air.

"Yeah." Rory said, mesmerized by his gaze.

-GG-
