What about you then? (Sorry, Irish relatives staying, long story) Firstly thank you reviewers, Hayley, Lexan (again!) Your song. And vintage-angel, the whole "Lurve" thing was just Lorelai saying love in a weird voice, I know, it was stupid, so I changed it. Thanks to whichever reviewer told me about the flight times. (Sorry, I'm so stupid, I read reviews, and then delete them and can't remember who wrote what!) One last thing, could anyone help me with the name of a nice town or city in California? Not Los Angeles, coz I don't think Rachael would like that, maybe somewhere more southern?

Disclaimer: NOT MINE!

Lorelai seemed glad that the previous tension seemed to have passed and was enjoying the view of the bustling town they were driving through. Before long they reached the hotel they were staying in.

"The tower hotel." Lorelai said gesturing to the tall structure in front of her, which dwarfed the surrounding buildings. They made their way inside and approached the front desk.

"Hello, we have a reservation here, L. Gilmore and L. Danes?" Luke said to the concierge.

"Sorry, no Danes or Gilmore," he said as he checked the computer.

"Are you sure? I made reservations almost two weeks ago, " Lorelai said.

"Nope. Who took your booking?"

"A man...rhyming names- Oh! Bernie Ernie, we had a very interesting conversation about his names, we decided his parents thought it would be character forming," Lorelai replied.

"I'm sorry, that was Bernard, he doesn't work here he just likes to answer the phone sometimes," the man said apologetically.

"Well do you have any empty rooms then?" Lorelai asked, getting desperate.

"No I'm sorry, all booked solid," the man said.

"Hey, come on, I work in the inn business. I know there's always an empty room left over," Lorelai said.

"No, I'm sorry miss, we're full."

"I won't tell anyone, our secret, right?"

"Miss, I will call security,"

"I know, all we're asking is to let us have a room, Okay?"

"Security!"

"Thanks a bunch," Luke said, after the nice men had escorted them out of the hotel lobby.

"Hey, you could have stopped me!" Lorelai cried defensively.

"I really couldn't have, even if I tried. Do you really always have one room left all the time?" Luke asked

"No, but I thought maybe they would." She replied sheepishly.

"Lorelai!" He cried in frustration, "Well, what are we going to do now?"

"I don't know, you figure something out,"

"Me? You're the one who got us into this mess!"

"It was an easy mistake to make! You probably would have done the same thing!" she said.

"Yes, of course," he replied sarcastically. (Mocking her) "Hello, Bernie Ernie? You sound reliable, especially based on you name!" But seeing Lorelai's hurt expression he softened.

"I'm sorry, we can just find some B&B to stay in."

"Yeah, okay. Just not one with floral wallpaper, Okay?"

They found a reasonably priced B&B with quite subdued décor and got neighbouring rooms. After unpacking Lorelai was getting restless and decided to visit Luke.

She exited her room and went to Luke's, finding the door unlocked she walked in.

"Lucas!" she called to the seemingly empty room.

"Lorelai! What are you doing in here?" he yelled, still concealed.

"I'm bored, come play with me!" she whined, searching for signs of Luke, "Where are you?" she asked, confused.

"Oh God."

A/N He, he , cliff-hanger! In case you're wondering Bernie Ernie is my younger brother's name! I know, terrible but true. Only I call him that, but it's still fun.
