These next few chapters are going to bring in some of the townspeople that we know so well from the show. These will include and are not limited to Sookie St. James, Lane Kim, Dean Forester, Jess Mariano(not a townsperson for most of the seasons but will be in the next few chapters), Kirk Gleason, Miss Patty and Zack. Juliann is a character of mine. She is Luke's niece. If you want to use her in a story that's fine but please let me know first so I can read the story if and when you post it :)
Lorelai Gilmore woke up, yawning and reached for the phone on her nightstand. She dialed her parents number and waited. The phone rang twice before anyone answered it. It was Emily.
"Hello?" Emily Gilmore asked. Lorelai sighed. She had been hoping that it would have been her father. She hadn't wanted to talk to her mother directly.
"Hi, it's me," Lorelai said, she could almost hear her mother roll her eyes.
"'It's me'?" Emily asked, "I'm assuming that means it's Lorelai." Lorelai shut her eyes for a moment and took a deep breath.
"Yes, that's right," Lorelai responded, "You said that you knew some dress shops in Hartford so I was wandering if you would like to go with me and Rory. Maybe show me a few of the shops." Lorelai sighed. There was no way she was going to admit to her mom that after thinking about the situation last night she had decided that she would actually like for her mother to be with her to pick out her wedding dress. The thought had scared her and she was pretty sure it would shock the heck out of her mom too so she decided to do the next best thing and lie.
"Lorelai, you didn't seem like you wanted me to come along last night," Emily replied. Lorelai rolled her eyes, great, she was going to make her tell her the truth.
"Mom, it's my first and possibly only wedding," Lorelai said, "as hard as it is to believe I would really like you to be a part of it." Emily smiled.
"Alright. I'll go with you, Lorelai," Emily said, "why don't we meet here around noon?" Lorelai smiled.
"Alright. Rory and I will be there," Lorelai replied before hanging up the phone and climbing out of bed.
Lorelai and Rory walked into Luke's Dinner almost an hour later, taking a seat at one of the tables by the window. They loved to sit close to the window so that they could make fun of everyone who passed by on the sidewalk outside. Luke couldn't help but find it entertaining. Even if it was extremely immature.
"Rory!" Lane squealed, walking over and wrapping her arms around Rory's neck in a loose hug, "How was your week at Yale?" Rory smiled.
"It was alright. I saw Logan," Rory said, "and I ran into Tristan Dugrey." Lane rolled her eyes and smiled over at Lorelai.
"Hi, Lorelai," Lane said. Lorelai smiled and nodded as Lane flipped open a notebook to take their orders and glanced at Rory, "Great, your two favorite guys," she said, "What can I get you two?" Lorelai and Rory smiled in unison as they both answered.
"Coffee," Lorelai and Rory said in unison. Lane smiled and turned to go get their coffee.
Lane brought the two coffees out and sat them down in front of Lorelai and Rory before taking a seat at the table between them. She looked over at Rory.
"So what happened with Logan and Tristan?" Lane asked, grabbing the cup she had just set in front of Rory and taking a sip.
"Well.." Rory started, "Tristan and I kind of went out a few times," Rory said, Lane smiled as Rory blushed, "and the one time I saw Logan he was just jealous because one of his friend's saw me with Tristan the night before." Lane laughed.
Lorelai looked over her shoulder and smiled as Luke came walking out of the kitchen. He walked up to the table and rested a hand on Lane's shoulder, causing the girl to jump. Lorelai and Rory laughed as Lane looked up at Luke.
"Hey Luke," Lane said, smiling up at him. Luke rolled his eyes.
"What are you doing?" Luke asked, Rory and Lorelai stared down in their coffeeso Luke wouldn't notice how close they we're to laughing.
"Taking my break," Lane said. Luke closed his eyes and started counting slowly to five. Lane got up and smiled at Rory and Lorelai before going back to work. Lorelai and Rory stared up at Luke and started laughing when he finally got to five and opened his eyes. He gave Lorelai a mock glare before leaning down and kissing her.
"It's not funny," Luke said, pulling back, "but I need to let you both know," Luke started, glancing toward Rory and then back at Lorelai, "I asked Jess to be my best man. He'll be here tomorrow." Rory looked up at Luke with a surprised expression on her face, not because she hadn't thought he would ask Jess to be his best man but because she wasn't sure if she was ready to see Jess again. Lorelai noticed the look on Rory's face.
"Are you going to be able to handle this?" Lorelai asked, turning her attention away from Luke to her daughter. Luke glanced at Rory.
"Yeah. I'll be fine," Rory said, giving both her mom and Luke a small smile, "I can handle it."
