Well, this WOULD HAVE been up last night, BUT I had to write YET ANOTHER compare/contrast essay on Elizabethan theater and theater today. AHHH!
Yes, we are starting Romeo and Juliet in English.
I am going to watch Run Away, Little Boy all weekend. Whenever I'm in English I am just waiting for Paris to come bursting through the door with handouts going "you're this part..." blah blah blah.
And thanks to GG, I was THE ONLY ONE in my class who knew 'star-cross'd lovers' were. (Star crossed lovers and other hidden strangers, too) Thank you Gilmore Girls!
Oh, and thanks to everyone that reviewed previously, you know who you are, don't be embarrassed.
And also, a SPECIAL (he he he, special) thanks to orangesherbert7 for giving me the flashback idea!
Disclaimer: By the way, I don't own the Bangles either, or ANY of their songs. Well, on Cd, and on my computer, but I don't OWN the song, like make $1 every time some one listens to their songs. Wow, that'd be nice.
Okay, you guys have suffered enough-ON WITH THE STORY.
Amazingly, for THE THIRD TIME in 3 days, the door swung violently open with a 'bang!' (A/N: WOAH! Dirty!) Only, this was Lorelai's house. And for THE SECOND TIME in three days, and Lorelai was ON Luke.
And when I say this, I mean-the exact same position as when they burst through the door at the townhouse. (A/N: You guys are excited now 8 - ) )
Only this time, they weren't fooling anyone, this was REAL.
How they actually got there was kind of a blur, it all happened so fast. Lorelai was trying to remember how they got here as Luke managed to go up the stairs, eyes closed, making-out, and carrying her at the same time.
FLASH BACK TIME
"Hello, this is Pat Benatar! Whenever you hear her you must, I repeat you must, sing as loud as possible. It is a law my friend... Hey look at that one!" She said pointing to really bright star.
"Just friend?"
"Okay, uhh, either friend with benefits, which sounds very dirty if you ask me, or more- than-just-friends. Classic, yet effective. Take your pick, George." She noticed that he was chuckling to himself.
"Okay, screw that. We are going with the more-than-just-friends-one."
"Close your eyes, give me your hand darlin...' " Susannah's voice came on.
"Oh!" Lorelai got excited when she heard the Bangles.
"No!" he assured her, no funny business.
"Please?" she begged.
"No. I don't dance."
"Oh, come on. You can even do the robot if you want. If not, I am gonna go dance by myself."
"Go ahead."
"The song's almost ovvverrrrr. And all the cool kids are doing it." She tried to persuade him, getting up off the blankets. She slipped out of her shoes and started to walk away. "You KNOW you want to." She was at the dock now. She was using her magical allure over him to her advantage.
"My previous answer still sta-." He said, sitting up.
"...Do you feel the same? Am I only dreaming, is this burning an eternal flame? I believe it's meant to be, darlin'. " Lorelai was singing along now, and dancing with her self, moving her hips, spinning around, but still singing to him. Only, she was trying to be more appealing so that he would get up off of his butt and join her. Even if his butt had a great shape.
"I am not going." He called over to her, hoping desperately not to cave.
"Say my name!" Lorelai sang enthusiastically.
"Lorelai!" he warned
"It's part of the song!" She said quickly, not wanting to miss anymore, because her favorite part was coming up. "Sun shines through the rain. A whole life so lonely, and then you come and ease the pain." She pointed to him at that last line. Giving up, she turned her back to him and looked out at the pond and sang to herself, "I don't wanna lose this feeling."
A hand came to her waist, and turned her around as she giggled.
"I SO knew you would cave." She teased.
"Shut up and dance." He whispered.
They relied on Susannah and the rest of The Bangles to do the talking for them.
(A/N: FINE! Here are the rest of the lyrics)
Say my name, sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely, and then you come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling
Close your eyes and give me your hand
Do you feel my heart beating, do you understand?
Do you feel the same, am I only dreaming
Or is this burning an eternal flame?
An eternal flame?
(Close your eyes and give me your hand
Do you feel my heart beating, do you understand?
Do you feel the same, am I only dreaming
Or is this burning an eternal flame?)
Is this burning an eternal flame?
When the song ended, the still remained staring at each other, and backed away slowly.
"We should probably get going." He said, breaking the silence.
"Yeah, umm, let's."
They rounded up everything, they managed to see, packed up the truck, and left.
"That was nice." She said, sincerely.
"Yeah, it was."
About half an hour later she realized that her feet were cold.
"Oh shoot!" she yelled out of the clear blue.
"What?"
"I left my shoes behind." She laughed at her own stupidity.
He laughed, too. "I think I left some stuff behind too."
"Why didn't you say anything? We can go back, I don't mind." She questioned.
"Nah, I'll run back tomorrow."
"Okay...Oh my God! I need some tune-age!" she shrieked.
"Tune-age?"
"Yes, music! Don't you ever listen to music in the car?"
"Sometimes." He admitted, sheepishly.
"Well, I don't think my mental health will be able to stand it much longer." She turned on the radio, and filled the silence. Well, she was still humming along.
When a VERY familiar song came on, she thought long and hard about what she was going to say, if it was too soon, or desperate, or just plain cheesy. But she decided Luke liked her for all of her crazy, cheesy, quirky qualities, when out of the corner of her eye, she saw him smirk and roll his eyes. He was putting up with listening to the 80's station for 2 hours, just for her.
"So...your place or mine?" she said slowly, and cautiously, with a mischievous smile, raising one eyebrow.
He laughed, and replied, "Yours." They exchanged a small smile, and looked separate ways.
After a few moments, she joked, "This is SO our song, George."
When they got to her house, he parked in the driveway, but said, "Don't move!"
Completely confused, she watched him run around the car, to her door and opened it.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"Come here, I don't want you walking on the ground."
"What! I did already!"
He pulled her over to him; she wrapped her legs around his waist, hands around his neck, and laughed the whole way to the door.
When they got to the door, she sputtered, "This is the part where we start making-out." And after a few moments, the door finally swung open.
Up the stairs now... he dumped her on her bed, and slammed the bedroom door behind them.
Stop giggling! You guys are SO immature. (Don't worry, I'm only kidding...I hope.)
So, umm yeah, that's it. Probably filler chapter next, but since it's the weekend it'll be up soon. (!)
Hmmm, know what's happening next, but not how it's going to, ahem, end or what's in the near future. I have a few ideas, but nothing definite.
I really want to hear your comments on this one, I have never done anything like this before...dirty, yes, I know.
But just like Doris said, "Que sera, sera, whatever will be, will be..."
Live, Love and Review!
