We're not going to take this!
Disclaimer: I own nothing! I am just obsessing about it per usual. I also don't own twisted sister or Dee Snyder. Although that would be pretty cool if I did.
Summary: why won't Lorelai assert some control over her spinning out of control life? What if she does? How would Luke take it?
Dedication: to my favorite authors on here, who write amazing Luke and Lorelei stories, and inspiring my to write my own.
People always say that you don't' get mad, you get even, and that suited Lorelei just fine. She had woken up the next morning, feeling less wrung down, then for months. She smiled as she made her own coffee and toasted some bread. (she wasn't a complete idiot you know)
She smiled as she drove to the Dragonfly. For too long did her inn become something to take her mind off of things? She wanted to be able to enjoy every minute of it.
When she had been waiting for it to be built, and planned every little details, she had been stressed and tired, but happy. It was becoming everything she ever dreamed it would be. It was her baby, and it could never drop out of Yale and go live in its grandparent's pool house.
Lorelei giggled to herself when Cletus and Desdemona neighed in the barn, and she smiled at a couple leaving and walked into her office. There waiting for her was a message telling her that Luke had cancelled their date that night.
She scoffed, not even surprised anymore. Her phone rang and she picked it up without even a little hope that it would be Luke to tell her everything was one big mistake. 'Hey Mom!' Rory chirped at her.
Her relationship with her daughter was now strong, but in the back of her head, she still feared that it would happen again. And this time Emily wouldn't be there, to annoy Rory enough to back and realize what she was doing.
'Hey sweets, what's going on?' Lorelei chatted with her daughter and when Rory had to go to class, she was almost grateful. It was exhausting acting like everything was peachy keen. It really just made her angrier.
She spent as much time at the Inn, and she had to go to the bank to settle a glitch, and she sighs when she sees Luke walking down the street. She raised her head in the air, and started to walk like the almost debutante.
Luke smiled at her and stopped but she kept on going. 'Lorelei' Luke yelled and she kept on walking. Maybe it was childish, but she was mad.
She started humming twisted sister and by the time she had finished with the bank manager, and making sure that he was clear that overcharging their loan payments, was not a thing she wanted to happen again, she felt more in power.
That night after she had left Sookies. She walked home and she stopped when she saw Luke sitting on her porch she sighed. She walked up the stairs and totally ignored him. She closed the door and walked over to her collection of CDs.
She smiled when she found it. A little dusty but still there. She put it on, just as Luke banged open her front door. 'LORELAI' he yells as the Twisted Sister begins on the stereo.
She looks at him and he crosses his arms at her. 'What the hell is your problem, that's twice you have ignored me.' But Lorelei stood there and she continued to stare at him. 'Did I forget your birthday or something?' He said and Lorelai laughed. 'If only. Just listen to the song Luke.' Lorelei says
Dee Snyder's voice rings out.
'Were not going to take it, oh no we aint gonna take it, were not going to take this anymore!'
'I'm lost here Lorelei, what the hell is going on?' Luke said and the room was quiet except for a little twisted sister. 'Just wait Luke.'
OH YOU'RE SO CONDESCENDING

WE DON'T WANT NOTHIN', NOT A THING FROM YOU
YOUR LIFE IS TRITE AND JADED
BORING AND CONFISCATED

WE'RE RIGHT/YEAH
WE'RE FREE/YEAH
WE'LL FIGHT/YEAH
YOU'LL SEE/YEAH
When the song ended Lorelei went to go turn it off. 'That's my point.' She said and Luke just scratched his head. 'Have I walked into one of Taylor's damn festivals?' he said and Lorelei just looked at him. 'That song is telling you exactly how I feel. Until you fix it, I am on strike, or on vacation, or anything you want to call it.'
Lorelei started to go up the stairs when Luke grabbed her hand. 'Lorelei what the hell are you talking about? Why are you acting so weird.'
Lorelei just shrugged. 'Gilmore's don't get mad Luke, we get even.' He looks confused and she takes pity on him. 'Luke I'm tired of pretending everything is ok, and I'm tired of thinking my anger is stupid. The house is perfect now, and still you haven't moved in? So I'm on strike. Until you fix this, Lorelei is occupied.'
She smirked and went up the stairs, when he started to follow her she turned around and gave him a vicious glare. 'Lucas, do not even think about following me, you mister are in the dog house.'
She went upstairs and locked the bedroom door and smiled It may have not gone quite as she had planned, she was glad that finally she had told somebody what was going on.
