Chapter 3 On the Ship
After Luke, Lorelai, Logan, and Rory heard the announcement that it was time to board, they hurried on to the ship to get to their rooms. It took them a while to get to their rooms. They were at the other end of the ship. This ship was huge. There were about 700 rooms on the whole ship and around 1,000 people on it.
"Where are our rooms! I feel like we've been walking for days!" Lorelai whined as they were searching for their rooms.
"We have not been walking for days. It just feels like it for you because you hate exercising." Luke replied, tired of listening to Lorelai whine about walking.
"Look! There they are! Numbers 677 and 678. They were on the very top floor." Rory said, pointing to the rooms on the very top floor.
"Oh, thank God! I might have passed out right here on the deck if I had to walk anymore!" Lorelai said dramatically as she brought her hand to her head.
"Okay, Rory and Logan you're room number 678 and we're room 677. Here's your key." Luke said as he handed the key to Logan.
"Okay, come on Lorelai, before you faint or pass out." Luke teased as he open the suite door and led Lorelai inside. Lorelai sat on the bed and started taking her shoes off to change in to flip-flops.
"Hey, mister, do not make fun of your beautiful fiancée." Lorelai said while pointing her finger at him.
"Oh, right I'm sorry. I mean it is so likely that you would have passed out right there on the deck then I would have had to do CPR on you. My mistake." Luke replied sarcastically.
"Thank you for being a big boy and admitting your mistakes." Lorelai said pretending to be oblivious to his sarcasm.
"Your welcome." Luke rolled his eyes. "Hey, Lorelai, are you sure it's a good idea that Logan and Rory share the same room?" Luke was a little uncomfortable with them sharing a room together.
"Luke, its fine." Lorelai stood up and went to stand in front of Luke. "Rory's 21. It's okay that she shares a room with her boyfriend. Plus, they're celebrating their anniversary, you know, too."
"Yah, I know. It's just weird to think that Rory, little Rory, is 21." Luke still pictured Rory as an 11 year old kid having a funeral for a butterfly.
"I know. It is weird. But she is not 11 any more and we have to accept that. Come on, let's go get something to eat. I'm starving." Lorelai walked towards the door and Luke followed.
"When are you not starving?" Luke opened the door for her and they knocked on Rory and Logan's door.
"Hmm…." Lorelai pretended to really think about it. "Never."
"Excactly." Rory and Logan came to the door.
"Hey, mom, Luke." Rory stepped out of the room with Logan.
"Hey, we were going to go get some dinner. You want to come?"
"Yes! I'm starving." Rory touched her stomach.
"Yep, should have known. Rory's always starving because Lorelai raised her." Luke said referring to the Gilmore's eating habits.
"Yep and proud of it." Rory replied to Luke. They started making their way down the steps to the restaurant.
"That's my girl." Lorelai told Rory and swung an arm around Rory's shoulder.
Luke and Logan started talking about baseball as they made their way downstairs and Lorelai and Rory were talking about something completely different.
"Mom, the guys we're with now could be the ones." Rory said looking at Lorelai.
Lorelai sighed dreamily. "Luke IS the one for me." Lorelai smiled at Rory.
"That's so sweet. I don't know if Logan is the one for me yet. I love him though." Rory looked down at her shoes as they continued walking to the restaurant.
"Rory, Hun, your only 21. You still have plenty of time to decide. Look at me. It took me 38 years to find the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with and I'm glad I waited."
"Yah, I'm glad you waited too. You and Luke are definitely meant for each other."
"I know. I just wish we would have gotten together sooner. We wasted so much time."
"What matters is that you're together now and that you love him. You do love him right? You're not going to take a road trip 3 days before the wedding are you?" Rory was starting to get scared. She loved Luke and wanted her mom and Luke to get married.
"No." Lorelai nodded her hand firmly and spoke confidently. "I'm staying put and I'm going to marry Luke. I love him, Rory. I've never loved anyone before Luke." Lorelai looked back at Luke and smiled at him. He smiled back and went back to talking to Logan.
Rory let out a breath "Good cause I want you to marry Luke." They arrived at the restaurant and Luke came up by Lorelai and put his arm around her. Logan did the same to Rory.
"What were you guys talking about?" Luke whispered in Lorelai's ear as they waited to be seated.
"Oh, just some girl talk." Lorelai said looking down, trying to avoid eye-contact. Luke could always tell what she was thinking, if she was sad, mad, happy, or in dire need of coffee. Plus, she wasn't lying. It had been girl talk.
"Okay. Logan is actually a good kid. We talked a lot." The waitress came and took Lorelai, Rory, Luke, and Logan back to their table.
"I told you just had to get to know him and you might like him."
"Yah, yah, I know, you were right, I was wrong you will tease me about it forever." Luke sighed.
"I was right, you were wrong! Hahahahaha." Lorelai started singing, to tease Luke.
"Yah, Yah. Let's just talk to Rory and Logan, you know, the other people who are at this table."
Lorelai pouted. "Meany."
Rory and Logan were watching Luke and Lorelai tease each other. It was hilarious. "Hey, mom, there's a big party here tonight. Logan and I are going. Do you guys want to come with us?" The waitress came up and asked for their orders.
"I'll have the salmon with a salad." Luke ordered first. Logan ordered the same.
Lorelai and Rory ordered 5 entrees to split and a apple pie, cake, and brownies to split also.
"You both are going to die at 39." Luke lectured them.
"Well, that's a year younger than you told me last time. Oh, well at least I'll be happy with my junk food, coffee, and my darling daughter to go with me."
"Gee, thanks mom." Rory replied sarcastically.
"Your welcome, my offspring."
"Luke, you do realize that if I die at 39 we would have only been married a couple of months." Lorelai pointed out to Luke.
"Yah, that's why I'm trying to get you to start eating healthy, so we can at least make it to our one year anniversary." Their food arrived and Lorelai and Rory immediately started to dig in.
"Thanks Luke, but probably not going to happen." Lorelai told Luke, while eating a brownie.
"You wanna help?" Luke asked Logan.
"Nope, I gave up a long time ago."
"Yep. He was smart." Rory said as her and Lorelai starting eating a piece of cake.
After Dinner
Luke, Lorelai, Rory, and Logan were heading back to their rooms.
"Why did you let us eat so much?" Lorelai complained. She and Rory were stuffed after eating everything they ordered and Logan's dessert.
"I tried to get you to stop. You didn't listen." Luke put his arm around Lorelai's waist and pulled her into him, then kissed the top of her head.
"Oh, yeah, I forgot about that part." Lorelai and Luke went into their room and Logan and Rory went into the other.
"So, is this a big fancy thing or is it casual?" Luke asked as he went to pick out some clothes to wear to the big party.
"I think it's a fancy thing." Lorelai went to her closet and picked out 2 dresses, a light blue with sparkles that goes down to her knees and a silky purple strapless one.
"Jeez, I hate fancy party type things." Luke complained as he picked a blue dress shirt and dress pants to wear.
Lorelai laughed. "I'll make it up to you. I promise." Lorelai said seductively.
"I'm going to hold you to that" Luke smiled at her.
"That's okay." She holds up the two dresses "Which one should I wear?"
"I don't know. The blue one." Luke pointed to the blue dress.
"The blue one it is." Lorelai changed right in front of him and all he could do was stare at how beautiful she was.
Lorelai came over to Luke and turned around for him to zip the dress up. "Stop staring. No previews for tonight, mister."
"I...I wasn't staring." Luke stuttered, clearly embarrassed to have been caught staring at her.
"Sure you weren't. Its okay, Luke. It's okay to oogle at me, I'm your fiancée." Lorelai teased him and went over to her closet to put on a pair of shoes and went to do her make-up in the bathroom.
"Umm… okay. Are you almost ready?" Luke said, starting to get impatient.
"Yah, one second. Will you just get my purse? It's sitting on the bed." Lorelai asked as she started to put her make-up away.
Lorelai came out of the bathroom and Luke handed her her purse. "You look beautiful." Luke said, looking at her.
Lorelai smiled. "Thank you. You ready to go pick up Rory and Logan?
"Yah, let's go."
At the party.
Lorelai, Rory, Luke, and Logan were all at the party. The party was held in the huge lobby. It had a band playing and all 4 flours had tables set up. Lorelai, Luke, Rory, and Logan were all sitting at a table on the floor of the band. There was a huge kitchen staff working, 2 floors below them and there was a dance club a floor below them. There were 7 floors total on the cruise ship.
"Hey, mom, Logan and I are going to go to the dance club okay?" Rory and Logan stood up, holding hands.
"Okay. We'll be here."
"Luke, the band is playing one of my favorite songs! Dance with me please?"
"Okay, since it's a slow song." Luke and Lorelai stood up and joined the other couples dancing. They danced slowly and whispered loving words into each other's ears. For them, there was no one else dancing, they were in there own world.
Meanwhile in the Captain's room
"Boss, you may want to look at this!" a guy said and he pointed to the radar
"It looks like a huge wave or tsunami is heading towards to boat!" The captain ran over to the wheel and did his best to turn the boat.
Back to the Party
The song just ended and Luke and Lorelai went to go sit down at their table.
"See, I told you that would be fun! You know, I've proven you right a lot today. I think I deserve a prize!" Lorelai teased.
"How about I make it up to you when you have to make it up to me about going to this party?" Luke asked.
Lorelai laughed. "Dirty!"
Just then the boat was hit with a huge wave. It was tipped to the side, sending tables and people to the other side of the boat.
