I got bored of the 2 and 18 or whatever thing, so I'm fast forwarding it to 5 and 21. I hope ya'll don't mind.
Three Years Later
"Mia, I'm done with all the rooms" Lorelai said, as she came running downstairs.
"New record," Mia said looking at her watch confidently "4 hours." With that, Mia was confident that hiring Lorelai full time, and firing all the other maids was the right choice. It took Lorelai 4 hours to clean all thirty rooms, and it took the other maids 3 hours to do fifteen.
Lorelai smiled at Mia. "Where's Rory?"
"She's in the dining room, go sit down I'll be in in a minute." Lorelai did as she was told and sat down next to Rory. "Hey kiddo, what did you do all morning?" Rory held up a children's book, and smiled. "You read the whole thing?" Rory nodded. Mia came in, and behind her, Frank, the waiter.
"So, what's on the agenda for today girls?" Mia asked, sitting down at the table.
"The search for a house continues." Lorelai answered, Rory still lost in her book.
"Anything in mind?"
"One or two, I don't know. I think I may bring Luke along for some help." Lorelai informed Mia, smiling.
"I see." Conversation continued throughout the lunch on various miscellaneous things. When they were all done, Lorelai picked up all their plates and brought them to the kitchen. Arriving back at the dining room, Rory was finally done with her book, and they were both ready to go. Before house hunting, Lorelai and Rory stopped by Luke's Diner.
"Hey Luke!"
"What is it?"
"Are you gonna help me with the house hunt?"
"That's today?"
"Yes Luke, that's today."
"Umm, can it wait an hour?"
"I guess.."
"I'm sorry about this." Luke said, obviously upset that he had dissapointed Lorelai.
"No, it's alright, we'll just uhh, walk around town for a bit." Lorelai said, not waiting for an answer from Luke and turning her attention to Rory. "What do you want to do for any hour?" She asked her.
"I don't care." Rory was still her easy going self.
"You wanna go see Lane?"
"Yeah!" Rory was excited at the thought of seeing her best friend. She and Lorelai ran over to where Kim's Antique store stood. Lane and Rory killed an hour by playing around, as much as Mrs. Kim would allow, and Lorelai browsed around the shop for a little. Lorelai, excited about finding a new home would take any chance she got just to look at some furniture, no matter how old, or ugly it was. She even could overlook Mrs. Kim. After her hour was up, Lorelai and Rory headed back to Luke's, where they met him right as he was locking up the Diner.
"What house first?"
"The one on Apple Road." Lorelai told him, and they headed over. Lorelai needed nothing more than to walk into the living room before she knew she didn't like this house, but she stayed, to look around anyway. They looked at 3 more houses, which Lorelai immediately hated, before reaching the house of her dreams. Luke was already annoyed at this point, that Lorelai had so easily turned down the others, after one look, but Lorelai knew what she was doing, she knew she'd find her house. The house had 2 rooms, 2 baths and an amazing front porch.
"This one." Lorelai said, as they walked up to the front door.
"You haven't even gone inside yet." Luke protested, but Lorelai just smiled, as she walked inside, repeating her first comment. Luke looked at her and smiled. "This one it is then."
"Do you like it Rory?" Lorelai asked as she turned around, realizing Rory was gone. "Rory!" Her voice louder now, worried.
"I like this room" Rory popped her head out from a bedroom coming from the kitchen. Lorelai smiled at Rory.
"I want it." Lorelai told the homeowners "How much are you asking?"
"Are you sure?" Luke asked, not letting them answer.
"I'm positive."
"You haven't even looked at the whole house yet."
"I want it."
"Lorelai--"
"Would you like some time alone with your husband to make a decision?" The homeowners asked.
"My husband?" Lorelai asked, taken aback by this statement.
"Oh I'm sorry. I just assumed you were married, seeing as you had a child."
"Rory isn't mine." Luke was quick to protest.
"Oh, she's an ex-boyfriend's? I'm sorry."
"Luke and I are just friends," Lorelai said trying to laugh, obviously trying to convince herself, more than the,
"Oh, I see, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have assumed." The homeowner apologized. "Do you still want the house?"
"Yes" Lorelai said. "How much do you want for it?" The homeowners gave a reasonable offer, and a deal was made, and all that was left to do was sign paper work, and various other things that would be taken care of over the next few days. Lorelai thanked Luke for coming with her and Rory, and rushed back to the Inn.
"Mia! Mia!" Lorelai said, as she came rushing into the Inn. "Mia where are you?" A smile never left Lorelai's face. "Where are you?" She came running into the kitchen.
"I'm right here. Slow down, what's wrong?"
"I got a house!" Lorelai screamed, jumping up and down.
"Where!" Mia said, sharing Lorelai's excitement.
"Cornell Road" Lorelai's smile, still planted firmly on her face.
