Chapter 7

Lorelai walked past Luke's. She hesitated and walked in. Luke wasn't there thank

God but Lane and Caesar were in. Lane smiled sadly when Lorelai walked in. "Hey how

are you?" Lane asked. "Doing well thanks. I just need a coffee and burger and fries to go

please." Lorelai said. "Luke's not here if your worried." Lane said. "I'm not worried just

make it fast please." Lorelai waited impatiently. Luke walked back in he had to pick

up something from Doose's because he had let Caesar order instead of Lane. He stared

at Lorelai. "Hi." He said. "Um hi." "So how's Rory?" "Doing well she'll be heading

off to Europe this summer with some friends." Lorelai told him. "Oh well great life

changing experiences to be had there." They looked at each other right in the eye. "Do

you want to come up?" Luke asked her. Lane handed Lorelai her food. "I can't I've

got to get back to the Dragonfly." "Are you sure?" "Yeah."

Lorelai walked away confused. He had refused to marry her. "What about

Lorelai's change?" Lane asked. "I'll give it back to her." Luke said. The door to the

Diner opened and Liz and her roommate walked in.

Rory met with Madeline, Louis and Paris for a meeting to discuss their adventure

that was coming up soon. They had met at the pub the students went to at Yale Rory

didn't want to bring that world to Stars Hallow. Stars Hallow was safe just the way she

liked it. Louis and Madeline both ordered Vodka and coke. "We've got a Limo driver."

Madeline said. "Luck you while I still refuse to get drunk." Paris said. "Yeah last time it

didn't go so well remember you kissed me." "Oh people were talking about it all night

long you would have gotten very cool offers if you'd stayed." Louis remembered. "I was

hoping people forgot it." Rory said. "But you didn't." "Unfortunately." "Enough. Now

Rory you will be staying with Logan at his place right?" Paris asked. "Yeah and your at

the Hilton in London." Madeline said. "Logan still has to work but he has evenings off."

Rory said. "Then you'll go sightseeing with us and I'm sure Logan will want to join us

occasionally so you'll meet us every morning at nine and look fabulous. Madeline

Paris and I need to meet boys if anything else." "Leave me out of it." Paris said. "Oh

you need a real man." Madeline said. "Yes because they all went back on the Mayflower

back to England." "Hey that's what school taught me." "You and I did not both go to

Chilton." Paris said. "I did too that's how I went to Sarah Lawrence." Madeline said.

"Madeline I think she was being sarcastic. So the sightseeing details." Rory said

changing the subject.
