Luke's Diner
Luke is standing behind the counter, serving a customer. The diner is packed with people. Lorelai walks in and looks around confused. She walks over to the counter.
Lorelai: "Is Bobby the clown back in town?"
Luke: "I wish."
Lorelai: "Then what's with the freak show?"
Luke: "Well thanks to your little outburst last night, I have had the whole town in here this morning and this afternoon."
Lorelai: "What little outburst?"
Luke: "You know what outburst."
Lorelai: "No, seriously am being all George Bush clueless over here."
Luke: "The walking down the street, the yelling, the swinging around the lamp-post."
Lorelai: "I was not swinging, I was doing my Gene Kelly, singing in the rain impersonation…well minus the rain, and I thought it was good…almost worth a Tony. I should do Broadway; I don't know why I never thought of it before."
Lorelai looks at Luke who is staring at her blankly.
Lorelai: "Sorry back to the…oh the outburst. That outburst, I thought everyone was asleep. I didn't think people would actually hear me besides, I wasn't that loud."
Kirk: "You woke me up."
Lorelai turns and looks at Kirk.
Lorelai: "Really?"
Kirk: "Well no, but I like to be added into conversations."
Luke: "Go back to eating your eggs, Kirk."
Kirk: "But I was just getting added into the conversation."
Kirk goes back to eating his eggs. Lorelai turns and looks at Luke, raising an eyebrow.
Lorelai: "Okay, so I was a little loud."
Luke: "I got a congratulations fax from Tokyo."
Lorelai smirks.
Lorelai: "I'm just happy."
Luke: "Yeah me too but I'm not singing in the rain happy."
Luke puts down a cup in front of her. Lorelai instinctively picks it up and drinks from it. She spits it back out into the cup.
Lorelai: "Oh my god, what was that?"
Luke: "Green tea"
Lorelai: "You tried to poison me!"
Luke: "I did not, stop being so dramatic. Consider it payback."
Lorelai: "Payback? That wasn't payback that was an attempt on my life. I'm quite happy living on the edge…sugar, coffee, cream, all those bad things. R- Oh no!"
Luke looks up from the counter and looks at her.
Luke: "What?"
Lorelai: "We should have kept it quiet."
Luke: "You should have thought about that 12 hours ago when you were…"
Lorelai: "Having my little outburst, I know. It's just – Rory. She should have been the first to know."
Luke looks at Lorelai sympathetically.
Lorelai: "Do you think I could convince Taylor to put out a hush order on the town."
Luke: "Not likely."
Lorelai: "How about bribing? That works in elections!"
Miss Patty and Taylor walk up to the counter.
Miss Patty: "Well, well if it isn't the happy couple. When's the date?"
Luke: "What date?"
Miss Patty laughs
Taylor: "The wedding date…an announcement needs to go out in the paper by this afternoon."
Lorelai: "No."
Taylor: "What?"
Lorelai: "No announcement Taylor, I need to tell a few people before the announcement goes out."
Taylor: "Everyone already knows."
Lorelai: "Everyone does not already know…who knows?"
Taylor: "Everyone thanks to your cat like screeches last night."
A dorky looking teenager runs into the diner and hands Taylor a piece of paper. As Taylor smiles, Lorelai catches a glimpse and takes the paper. It contains two pictures, one of Luke when he was younger and one of Lorelai, when she was younger.
Lorelai: "Where did you get that? No, don't tell me. I already know."
Lorelai turns and walks out of the diner, pulling out her cell phone. She dials Rory's cell number.
The Yacht.
Rory wakes up to the sound of her cell phone ringing. She gets out of bed, dressed in her pjs and walks over to her bag. She stops looking out of the window, at the beautiful sight of Honolulu. She smiles, bending down and picking up her cell phone. She looks at the screen and sees "Mom" calling. Opening her cell, she answers.
Rory: "Mom?"
Lorelai: "Yeah, it's me."
Rory: "I figured."
Lorelai: "So-"
There is silence for a moment.
Lorelai: "Uh, how are you?"
Rory: "Fine."
Lorelai: "Good, good. Uh, so a crazy thing happened last night. I proposed to Luke and then he proposed to me and I said yes and we're getting married. I thought you should know, before anyone, anyone being Taylor or Miss Patty contacts you via Morse code with the news…"
Rory: "Oh."
Lorelai: "Your grandmother told you already, didn't she? Uh, I knew it. She just loves to put her nose in."
Rory: "No, she didn't tell me."
Lorelai: "What?"
Rory: "She didn't tell me, although by the sound of it…I should be receiving a fax anytime soon from Taylor or a text message from Miss Patty."
Lorelai: "Rory I-"
Rory: "No, I get it. You're mad at me, so why would you bother telling me that you're getting married. It's not a big deal or anything." (being sarcastic)
Lorelai: "Hun, I wanted to call you sooner. I wanted to call you as soon as he proposed, so we could talk."
Rory: "Thanks for the thought."
Lorelai (being defensive): "What? So because I'm the mother, I have to make the first move at reconciliation? Have you sent me a postcard? An email? A carrier pigeon? It works both ways."
Rory: "Yeah it sure does. My way was by phone, last night."
Lorelai realises and is about to saying something when…
Rory: "I have to go, congratulations."
Rory ends the call and puts the phone back into her bag. She walks over to the bed and looks down at Logan, who is still asleep.
The Diner
Lorelai walks back into the diner and over to the counter.
Luke: "How'd it go?"
Lorelai: "Oh you know, me shooting my big mouth off…getting all defensive. It went well!"
Lorelai looks at Luke and sighs.
Luke: "Everything will be fine."
Lorelai: "How do you know?"
Luke: "Because…the two of you, like mother like daughter. You both need a little time to cool off, and when she's finished cooling off on Richie Rich's yacht, she'll come home and you two will sort things out."
Lorelai: "I hope so, Luke."
Yacht
Rory is sitting at the breakfast table eating a bow of cereal. Rory looks up, shocked as Finn walks into the room and over to the refrigerator. He takes out a bottle of OJ and turns around noticing Rory.
Rory: "Finn, you're…awake, before noon!"
Finn: "Good morning darling."
Finn walks over and kisses Rory on the cheek and then sits down at the table, beside her. Rory looks at him confused. Finn looks at her.
Finn: "What?"
Rory: "It' morning and your awake was enough to shock me…but the kiss has moved me past shock and into traumatised. Why are you so jolly in the morning?"
Finn: "Jolly? Rory Gilmore, I do believe you're trying to flirt with me."
Rory laughs.
Rory: "No, no. If anything, I'm being influenced by your lingo…it's very catching darling."
Rory says imitating Finn. Finn smirks and looks over to the doorway seeing Logan walk in. Finn stands up and looks down at Rory.
Finn: "I told you Rory, there is a time and a place for that…albeit in the kitchen is one of my fantasies, I'd prefer we start somewhere else…say my bedroom, at nine this evening."
Finn leans down and takes Rory's hand.
Finn: "We, my dear are like Anthony and Cleopatra, Han and Leia, Jack and Rose from Titanic."
Rory: "Wow – classic love stories. How could I possibly resist?"
Finn: "Our time will come…patience, my young padawan."
Logan walks over to the table, smirking.
Finn: "Logan, I'm just confessing my undying love for your girlfriend."
Logan: "Oh, sorry to interrupt."
Logan says sitting down beside Rory. Finn winks at Rory and turns around walking out of the kitchen. Rory looks at Logan.
Rory: "Finn flirts with anything that can walk… did you sleep well?"
Logan: "Like a baby."
Rory: "I never understood that – sleeping like a baby. Sure a baby sleeps contently but not for long. Babies wake up every two hours, bawling their eyes out."
Logan: "Alright. I didn't sleep like a baby, but more like a fat old man who's watched 24 hours of television straight, gulping down 12 cans of beer…better?"
Rory: "You know – I can almost picture it."
Rory says smirking.
Logan: "Thanks."
Rory turns around and face Logan. Logan turns and faces her. She leans in and puts her arms around his neck.
Rory: "If it's any conciliation, I think you'd make a cute, beer belly middle age man."
Logan leans in and kisses her. Rosemary and Juliette walk into the kitchen, both in their bikinis.
Rosemary: "Don't you two ever come up for air?"
Logan and Rory turn around and look at the two of them.
Rory: "Are you two off to the beach already?"
Rosemary: "Yeah, we wanna make sure we get the right sun beds, it's best to be the early worm than the late comer."
Juliet: "Besides, we wanna make sure we don't miss the early, but the oh so cute surfer boys!"
Rory: "Hmm, interesting."
Rory smirks looking at Logan, Logan looks at her then to Juliet and Rosemary.
Logan: "We'll catch you girls down there later."
Rosemary: "Alright, well you just have to check two things before you leave. 1. That Finn is wearing a bathing suit; learn from last year's mistakes and 2. make sure Colin isn't wearing his grandpa style shorts, if he wants to be a ladies man, then he has to dress the part."
Rosemary and Juliet turn around and walk out of the kitchen. Rory turns to Logan.
Rory: "Finn went out commando?"
Logan: "Yeah…it was funny; you had to be there Ace."
Rory: "I'm actually thankful, I wasn't!"
Rory smirks. Logan laughs, picking up the newspaper. Rory goes back to eating her cereal.
Gilmore Residence
The maid answers the door and Lorelai walks in. Emily walks into the foyer.
Emily: "Lorelai, what are you doing here?"
Lorelai: "I – I just wanted to thank you, for not telling Rory. So – uh, thank you."
Lorelai turns to leave.
Emily: "Tell Rory about what?"
Lorelai turns and looks at her mother confused.
Lorelai: "About – oh, OH! Uh, this is – I thought you knew. There was a picture, I presumed you…"
Emily: "Lorelai you're babbling."
Lorelai: "Right. Luke proposed – and I said yes."
Emily: "Congratulations."
Lorelai again looks a little bit shocked.
Lorelai: "Thank you, mom."
Emily: "Won't you stay for a drink. You're father is due home any minute and I'm sure he would love to hear the news from you."
Lorelai: "Yeah – sure."
Emily walks back into the living room. Lorelai takes off her coat and smiles. She walks into the living room.
The Beach.
Rory, Logan, Finn and Colin walk down onto the beach. It's a reserved, private section. Only a few people are on the beach, including Juliet and Rosemary.
Rory: "Wow, this place is beautiful."
Colin: "Yeah – it's not that bad."
They walk over to Rosemary and Juliet, putting down towels on the sun beds. A waiter walks over.
Waiter: "Good afternoon. May I take your order?"
Logan: "Yeah, sure. Uh a round of margaritas and-"
He turns and looks at Rory. Rory looks at him and then back to the waiter.
Rory: "Margarita sounds good to me."
The waiter walks away. Rory sits down on her sun bed, taking off her sarong. Logan walks over with the sun tan lotion and sits behind her. He puts a little in his hand and starts to put some on her back.
Rory: "Thank you."
Logan: "No problem – I didn't know you were a margarita drinker Ace."
Rory: "I'm not usually. It's just something new, something different."
Logan: "Did something spark this something new, something different approach to drinking?"
Rory doesn't say anything. Logan moves from sitting behind her, to sitting by her side.
Rory: "It's nothing."
Logan: "Obviously it's something. Talk to me."
Rory looks at him, curiously.
Rory: "I received a phone call from my mom this morning. She's getting married."
Logan: "Well that's good, right." Logan stops and looks at her. "Not good news…what you think Luke will be like the Evil Step-father to your Cinderella story?"
Rory: "No – it's just. She called to tell me so that I wouldn't hear it from anyone else, anyone else being the entire town. I just – I thought she would have told me, before everyone – before anyone even."
Rory looks close to tears. Logan leans in and puts his arm around her neck.
Logan: "I'm sure she meant to Ace."
Rory smiles, the waiter puts their two glasses of margaritas on the table. Rory leans forward and picks the glasses up, giving one to Logan. Rory takes a huge gulp from her glass, while Logan only a takes a sip. He uses his other hand, taking the glass away from Rory.
Logan: "Easy does it."
Rory: "Thanks mom."
Logan: "I'm serious – with this heat, you're gonna wanna drink in moderation."
Juliet and Rosemary walk over to them.
Rosemary: "The sea is calling, come on Rory..."
Rory stands up and walks over to the sea with the girls. Logan looks on, a concerned look on his face.
Later
The gang are sat around a table, having just finished dinner. Finn is completely drunk and babbling on about everything and anything. Rory, Rosemary, Juliet are tipsy. Colin and Logan seem to be holding their alcohol, for now and are standing over at the Karaoke machine.
Finn: "I like Hawaii."
Rory: "Me too, it's pretty."
Finn: "Yes, Hawaii is pretty and it has pretty ladies."
Rosemary: "Not to mention cute surfers."
Juliet: "I got a phone number."
Rosemary: "When?"
Juliet: "Earlier, when Rory and I swam out further. The other surfer tried to give Rory his number."
Rosemary: "Rory got a phone number and I didn't?"
Rory: "I didn't take it."
Rosemary: "Of course you didn't, you have a boyfriend. I'm boyfriend less."
Rory: "Then you'll be happy that I didn't take it for me, but for you."
Rosemary: "You're a saint."
Logan and Colin walk back over to the table and sit down.
Logan: "Sorry Finn, they don't have any Bette Midler songs. So there will be no Angels beneath your wings tonight."
Colin: "But they did have Celine Dion's, my heart will go on."
Finn: "Perfect, who's joining me?"
Juliet: "I've been told my voice is beautiful."
Rory: "Well, I've been a crazy lady today, so I'm in."
Rory stands up and Logan takes her arm and sits her back down.
Rory: "Aww, but I want my heart to go on."
Logan: "Not tonight you don't, believe me. You'll thank me tomorrow."
Rory sighs and turns around watching Finn and Juliet walk onto the stage. They sing together, sounding like two cats screeching. Rory covers her ears. Colin and Rosemary burst out laughing. Rory turns and looks at Logan, resting a hand on his face.
Rory: "Why wait till tomorrow, thank you."
Logan laughs.
A waiter brings another round of drinks to the table.
Hawaiian Street
Finn and Juliet are dancing in the street. Rosemary is resting on Colin, and Rory rests on Logan. All though, are now drunk. They stop for a second. Finn and Juliet keep dancing.
Rory: "I want to do something crazy."
Logan: "I think leaving Stars Hollow and coming to Hawaii spur of the moment, was something crazy for you."
Rory: "What does that mean? I'll have you know – I'm one crazy lady. People walk down the street and point, saying "Oh look at her, she's a crazy lady."
Logan looks at her disbelievingly.
Rory: "You don't believe me, do you?"
Logan: "I'm sorry – you're right, you have done some crazy things. The Jump at the Life and Death Brigade, I totally didn't think you'd do it."
Rory: "Aha, see I'm a shocker. Yes that's what I want people to think, Rory Gilmore the Shocker."
Finn and Rosemary stop dance, and they turn to look at the wedding chapel.
Juliet: "Ooh, let's go be guests."
Finn: "I love weddings."
Juliet and Finn walk towards the chapel. Colin and Rosemary follow.
Rory: "Come on."
Logan: "What?"
Rory: "Logan Huntzberger, let's go shock the world."
Rory stands up and walks towards the chapel, Logan follows.
A/N: Just a quick note, A big thank you to everyone who has reviewed my story so far, I do love them! Hehe. Anyways, don't go thinking ahead...this chapter was just a chance for Rory to let loose...A lil Spoiler: NOT completely Crazy though! (reference to the last part of the chapter)
