Note: Thanks you guys for the nice reviews. I also liked the way it ended between Rory and Logan and had decided a while ago it definitely was going to be a Trory, like many of you probably already had guessed. Well, here's the next chapter. Enjoy!

Chapter 22:

Lorelai was patting Rory's back. She didn't exactly know what had happened, but she figured that Logan and Rory had decided to break things up. After a couple of minutes, Rory dries her tears and breaks free from the embrace.

"Are you ok, hon?" Lorelai asks her.

"I'll be fine! It just hurts to let him go, but I'll be fine." Rory gives her a little smile.

"I know you don't want to hear it right now, but it probably is for the best, sweetie. It would have been a lot harder if you guys would have found out much later."

"Yes, I know."

"I know it hurts and it will take some time for the hurting to stop." Lorelai says and then gives her a smile. "But there is no better way to get through the hurting, than to watch some sad movies and eat a lot of junk food. So what do you say, hon? Shall we claim our own couch in the movie room?"

"Yeah, just lead and I'll follow you, Louise! Even when you ride of that cliff."

"Hey! Why do you get to be Thelma and I get to be Louise? Thelma is much prettier and we both know that I'm the prettier one of the two of us." Lorelai says pouting.

"Hey, I'm the one who's hurting here and you are the one that is in seventh heaven right now, getting all 'lovey dovey' with Luke, so I get to pick who I want to be. Besides I am way much prettier than you are." Rory giggles.

Lorelai also giggles and then leads her towards the inn. Suddenly she stops. "Oh, wait a minute. I forgot about Luke. Let me tell him where we're going."

Rory stops walking and starts to feel guilty. "No you should spend your time with Luke. He came here all the way for you and you two are so happy right now." Just go to him and I'll go inside and sit with my friends. I'll be fine." Rory says reassuringly.

"No way, missy! Luke and I are fine right now. He isn't going anywhere. I'll just ask him to join all of us in the movie room. Just wait here for one second."

She walks over to Luke, who is still sitting by the campfire.

When he sees her approaching he gets up immediately.

"Is she alright?" he asks her worriedly.

"No, but she will be." Lorelai replies. "Do you mind if we go inside and watch the movie? You can join us if you want."

"No that's ok. There is something I want to do first, but you go ahead and I'll join you guys later." He says and squeezes her hand reassuringly.

"Ok, I'll see you later." Lorelai says and turns to walk over to Rory, who's still standing in the doorway.

"Let's go, kiddo. 'Casablanca' must be finished by now. Let's see if we can convince the rest to watch another tearjerker, like 'Gone with the wind'. Or maybe we should switch to a comedy. Ohh, we could vote for 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'…." Lorelai just keeps on rambling and Rory smiles, just glad that her mom is around.

It was almost midnight. Lorelai was sitting on the floor with her back against the couch. Every muscle in her body was aching. She looked up at the threesome lying on the couch behind her. They were all fast asleep.

When they had entered earlier, they had joined Tristan on the couch, just in time to see the end of 'Casablanca'. They all had voted on the next movie and after Lorelai had cheated on the counting of the votes, they decided on 'Gone with the wind'. It also turned out that Finn could do a very nice Rhett Butler imitation. Making everybody laugh out loud and Gloria embarrassed, because much to her dismay he had made her his Scarlet. A little later Lane had walked in and Lorelai had offered her her seat, while she moved over to the carpet in front of the couch.

She smiled. Tristan was sitting on the left, but had tipped over, since Rory was leaning into him. And next to Rory, Lane was using Rory as a big pillow. They probably were going to be sore from the position they were lying in, when they woke up, but she decided to just let them sleep anyway. She would wake them up later.

She looked around the room and saw that many people had already left to get some sleep. But the were still some people left, who were actually watching the movie and a couple of them had also fallen asleep on their couch or chair.

Suddenly she notices that Luke is still missing. Wasn't he supposed to join them later on? She decides to go and look for him.

When she walks outside she sees a light burning in the shed behind the inn. She walks over and sees Luke inside, working on a piece of wood.

"Luke! What are you doing over here?"

"Hi! How late is it?" Luke looks startled. "Wow, I didn't realize it was this late." He says when he looks on his watch.

"I'm sorry; I didn't mean to startle you. I just had found this piece of wood and thought it would make a perfect sign for the inn."

Lorelai takes a closer look and sees that he has been carving the name of the inn into the wood. He had used bold curving characters. "Wow, that looks amazing, Luke! I knew you had some technical skills, but this is truly amazing!"

"Well, I thought it would be nice, since you haven't got a sign yet. Just until you get one yourself of course."

"I don't think any new sigh could top this one. It's great! Thanks Luke." And she gives him a kiss.

"But do you think you could finish it tomorrow? Because I want you to start working on something else right now." She says, while she pulls him even closer.

"I think that is possible." Luke replies smiling and follows her to her room.

Everybody slept in late the next morning. When Rory woke up, there was no sigh of Paris or Stephanie. Only Lane was left in the room and was making cute snoring sounds. She picks up her pillow and throws it on top of Lane, who wakes up with a scream. Lane is immediately awake and throws the pillow back in Rory's face. This is how the pillow fight started. Apparently Lane has gotten used to this, living with two boys, and was pretty good at it. It didn't take to long though, cause after a couple of minutes they were already out of breath. They decided to hit the shower and then go down for lunch.

When they got down, they noticed that almost everybody was already there. Even Finn was sitting there, although he was wearing his sunglasses to protect himself from the bright light. Lane and Rory got themselves something to eat and joined Marty and Tristan at their table. Rory wasn't in a mood to talk about Logan, so she was happy to hear about all that had happened in Marty's and Lane's life. She made herself a mental note. She really had to put in some effort to see them more often.

After lunch everybody started packing and started to get ready to go back home. Rory was now standing next to her mom, saying goodbye to everybody.

Finn, Colin and Stephanie were now saying goodbye to them.

"Goodbye beautiful ladies." He says while kissing both their hands. "This has been an absolutely perfect weekend. Although it could have even been better if Gloria would just acknowledge she is totally in love with me." Finn sighs.

Rory and Lorelai both start to laugh.

"Yes I cannot understand how she could not fall for you and all your charm." Lorelai replies mockingly. "I would have fallen in a heartbeat."

Finn starts to smile and takes of his sunglasses. "Well maybe I've been courting the wrong woman all this time."

"Finn!" Rory says out loud. "You cannot say that to my mom. Wait till Luke hears about this."

"I'm just kidding, love!" He says so Rory, but is still looking around expecting Luke to show up at anytime. "Well I guess it is time to go."

"Wait a minute. Do you guys have any transportation? Cause Logan took the car yesterday."

"Don't worry about that, love. He sent back the car with his driver to pick us up."

"All right then, have a safe trip and I'll see all of you back at Yale." Rory says to them, as they are leaving.

When they're gone, Rory turns to Lorelai. "Have you seen Paris and Jess? I haven't seen them since their fight at the campfire." Rory asks her.

"I don't worry about them, sweety. They kissed and made up this morning and left early to spend the day together. Paris told me to say to you, that she would see you tonight."

At this time Tristan, Jake and Marty come walking down the stairs and walk up to the Gilmore girls.

"Hey Mary! Are you ready to go?" Tristan asks Rory.

"Yup, I'm all ready to go." She says and turns around to give her mother a hug.

"Are you gonna be allright?" Lorelai asks her.

Rory nods her head. "I'm gonna be fine. Don't worry about me. You've got Lorelai the Fourth here to worry about." She says while she rubs her mother's tummy.

"Ha! I don't think I can pull it off to call the second one also after me." Lorelai says smiling.

Then she turns to the boys. "Now, I'm expecting that you will keep an eye on my little girl. She says she will be all right, but I know her and she will start burying herself into her schoolwork the minute she gets back to Yale. I expect you to make sure that doesn't happen."

"Mom! I can take care of myself. I'm not a little girl anymore." Rory replies.

"Don't worry Lorelai! We've got it covered." Tristan says to Lorelai, which earns him a deadly glare from Rory.

"Allright you kids! Have a safe trip back. And I'll talk to you soon!" Lorelai says while giving Rory a kiss goodbye.

After Lorelai said goodbye to all of the guests, she went looking for Luke.

"I thought I would find you here!" She says when she walks into the shed. She walks over to him and gives him a long kiss.

"Hey, you! I just finished the sign for the inn. What do you think?"

"It is really great, Luke. You could make a living out of this." Lorelai answers.

"Nahh. I'll just stick to my diner."

"Speaking of which! When do you have to go back?" Lorelai asks Luke.

"Ceasar will cover for me today, but I have to get back to open up tomorrow morning." He replies.

"Does that mean you can stay with me the rest of the day?"

Luke nods yes. "I won't be heading back till after dinner.

"Ahh, so we have time to play some dirty games." Lorelai says with naughty eyes.

"Lorelai!"

"What?" She says innocently. "I was just thinking of a game of mud wrestling."
