Chapter 5

Hello, Hello it's nice to see you again

Rory let Dean inside. "Dean what a surprise." She said lamely. "It's nice to see

you too." Dean told her. "I just haven't seen you since the fiasco with- "with Lindsay I

know." Dean said. "Yeah I just didn't know you were back here. What happened to

college?" Rory asked. "I graduated top of my class with a baby and all too." Dean said.

"So are you back with Lindsay?" Rory asked. "No she was about to tell me she was

pregnant when she found that letter but I only learned it from her mom after the divorce

so." Dean said. "Have you been able to spend anytime with it?" Rory asked. "It's a he.

Yes. I'm allowed visiting two weekends of every month but I have to go to their town."

Dean said. "Yeah I thought I saw Lindsay and her mom moving out of Stars Hallow."

"So what about you I heard you graduated from Yale what happened to Harvard?"

Dean asked her. "Well Harvard turned into Yale and now I'm a journalist for the guys

father that I'm dating." Rory said. "Oh I see. Well can two friends go out to eat?" Dean

asked her. "I don't know. Mitchem's family already hated me and they're just starting to

like me and if they see me. They're just waiting for me to fail." "Do they live in Stars

Hallow?" "No but both Honor and Logan have been here." Rory said. "Is that a no?"

Dean asked. "It's a I don't know."

Lorelai stared at Max. "Um hello stranger." She said trying to make things

light. "Mind if I sit?" Max asked. "Mmm what's your name behind the counter can he

sit in here?" Lorelai asked the girl. "Liona." Liona said. Max gave Lorelai a look. "What?

she didn't say no you can't sit so pick a table pick a booth hell you can even sit on the

little outside cute tables they have there." Lorelai said. "So much tension between us."

Max said sadly. "The correct term was ice I believe and you were Rory's teacher."

"May I sit with you?" Max asked her. "If you must I have to get back to the Dragonfly."

Lorelai told him ordering a pretzel to dip in cheese. "The Dragonfly?" Max asked. "The

Inn I own with my friend Sookie St. James." Lorelai told him. "I didn't know I hadn't

heard." Max said. "Well who would you hear it from Charleston?" Lorelai asked. "No I

suppose not." Max agreed. "Let me buy that and take you out somewhere to celebrate

at a later date." Lorelai put five dollars on the table. "Tell you what no and don't kick a

dead horse. You should never have disrespect for the dead."

Lorelai walked out fighting back an angry feeling as she drove to the Dragonfly.

"Dragonfly Inn Michel speaking. Ah no we don't allow Frenchmen." Michel said. "No I

am not from France I am from Texas goodbye. Ignorant fool." Michel said hanging up.

"Michel I don't care if he's German and former Nazi if there's a room available you

say." Lorelai prompted. "I'll get the gas chamber ready for you." Michel said. "Oh boy

we are going to stay in business long. Sookie my love my heart!" "She is in the kitchen

and what is Jackson going to say when he finds his wife having an affair with you?"

Michel asked. "Dirty I like it lets see what happens."

Lorelai walked into the kitchen. Sookie brought a spoon up to Lorelai's mouth.

"Taste this." "Mmm Sookie another marvel from our head chef." Lorelai said. Sookie

grinned. "I know isn't it good it was completely by accident too I don't know what I'll

call it." "What accident?" "Well I was reaching and twisting." "Those are never good

words from your mouth and I had a pan full of strawberry sauce and it fell in with the

cream and I tipped over the peach sauce into it." Sookie said.

Editor's note: please note that I cannot cook and therefore do not know if said recipe has ever been used. Probably but the most cooking I do is microwave cooking I have to look for restaurants and stuff otherwise we'd starve. By we I mean my husband and me. He can cook a few dishes. Also for the life of me I can't remember who Rory gets a job with when she's with Logan and hears the whole bridesmaid story so I'm just making up that Mitchem bought her back on board.

Lorelai nodded. "So guess who I ran into today." "Rory." Sookie said. "Nope. Guess

again." Lorelai told her pouring her cup of coffee. "Jackson because he didn't deliver

the right vegetables again." "Nope try again." "Not your mother!" Sookie said shocked.

"Close but no. Max Medina." "How was that close? What did you two talk about?"

Sookie asked turning the meat over to brown on the other side. "Nothing I got up

and left after we exchanged a few words." Lorelai told her. "Exchanged a few words?

Lorelai I mean Max and you are over it was supposed to be Luke." Sookie told her.

"I know it was supposed to be Luke." Lorelai began to cry. "Don't sweetie don't.."

Sookie told her. Michel came back from the desk.

"What is it? Oh god we are crying well while you are blowing your nose there

is a man in a flannel shirt. He says you asked for some things to be fixed." Michel told

her. "What man?" Lorelai asked drying her eyes. Sookie rolled her eyes. "He says his

name is Luke but I'm surprised he knows his name." "Well are you going to go out

there?" Sookie asked. Lorelai stared blankly ahead.
