Previously on Summer of 2023:

Who was the man yelling? asked Syd


"Thats Luke Danes, the owner of the diner, next door." said Taylor "Hes been rather bitter ever since his fiance left town for no reason. He's always grumpy, and yelling at everybody."

Syd just nodded, she now knew who his fiance was, her mom.

"Well, I have to go know, Mr. Doose." said Syd picking up her board

"Now, its Taylor, and please come again." said again overcheerful Taylor.


Steve was walking down the 'freak show' town's main street, looking for his sister. He seem to walk by 4 stores devoted to Hello Kitty or something pink.

These people are crazy thought Steve.

Then, he saw his sister walking out of a store.

"Syd!" he called and she boarded over to him.

" 'sup, bro." asked Syd

"This town is a freak show, I pass like 20 stores for Hello Kitty or something." ranted Steve.

"Lets go calm you down with a cup of coffee." said Syd calming down Steve.

"Ok, but your paying." joked Steve

"Ha, Ha."

----(Lukes Diner)----

Steve walks in seeing no decoration, "See, this is what its supposed to look like" said Steve sitting at a stool, and Syd next to him.

"Welcome to Luke's Diner, what can I get you?" said monosyllabic Luke

"Two cups of coffee and a fries" order Steve

Just then, Syds cell phone rang, and Luke pointed to him infamous "NO CELL PHONES " sign

"Sorry" said Syd and walked out

"Hi mom"

"Sydney Lorelai Gilmore-Danes, Why aren't you calling the mother who birthed you?" asked a bored Lorelai

"I've been busy meeting strange people"

"Ah, so you met Taylor."

"Yeah, he's creepy."

"Tell Steve or Matt to call me"

"Ok, love ya"

"Love ya too" said Lorelai, and they both hung up

Syd walked back into the diner, and sighed

As Luke was setting down the fries, Syd said to Steve

"Mom was like Sydney Lorelai Gilmore-Danes, why aren't you calling me?"

"Moms psycho." said Steve eating a frie.

Luke walked off, trying to shake off what he had heared. Did she really say Gilmore-Danes, nah, I must be thinking it again.


The town gossip queens were at it again.

Miss Patty who was still the queen of gossip said "Did you here, Rory has some kids over at her place this summer?"

Babbette joined "Are they hers? Nah, she was never pregnant." And they stood around talking about everybody else.


Town Meeting.

Rory pushed her siblings into Miss Pattys.

"Your going to like it. Mom and I came almost to all of these growing up."

"Whatever" said Matt and they all sat down.

"I'd like to call this meeting to order." said Taylor

"Our first order of business is the winner of my monthly contest. I've got the enteries right here. Miss Patty please draw one."

"Syd Gilmore-Danes" said Miss Patty slowly, then noticed something

"Will Miss. Gilmore-Danes please come up and collect her coupon."

With that Syd walked to the front and got her coupon. She asked "Why are you guys whispering?"
