Unreachable

Far From Speechless and Beyond

Lorelai read over the note again. Rory was gone! Her Rory! It was now Lorelai started to regret things she'd done in the past. Like prevent Christopher and Luke from beating Logan. If it wasn't for him none of this would have happened.

"You didn't get a clue when you heard a car horn and saw Rory riding away in a fricken Jaguar?" Snapped Lorelai; honestly she was desperate, more than desperate, to blame this all on her parents.

"We thought she was going out on a date! Then we came over here to see if she got home O.K. and she was gone! Gone!" Emily shouted throwing her hands in the air at the second gone, so like Emily over dramatizing everything.

In the backround a maid scurried around adjusting this and rearranging that. Emily could see that she had turned one of her china bowls the wrong way, even from her distance she saw the pink flower instead of the dark pink one and that's when she got the idea. She could take this out on the maids! Every single one of them would be fired! "You!" Emily pointed an accusatory finger at the maid. As if a robot the maid nervously spun around and widened her eyes. The maid readied herself for fire from Emily. "That's the wrong way! You are fired!" The maid immediately burst into tears and hurried away, obviously a sensitive one. "Have your outfit dry cleaned and sent back pronto!" Called Emily in a sing-song voice as the maid ran away in tears.

Lorelai looked from Emily to the maid and back again. It didn't take her twelve seconds to unravel her mothers mastermind plan. But she didn't say anything, the maids could fend for themselves, they weren't helpless. She then turned to her dad, "Your wonderful friends the Huntzenburgers are the cause of this wonderful road trip." She said a fake smile plastered on her face to add to the sarcastic manner.

"Now, now Rory's old enough to make her own decisions."

"Not ones that are going to ruin her life." Lorelai heard the word fired shouted again in the backround. The perfect way to blow off steam, fire your employees.

That's when Lorelai felt it, a soft vibrating in her pocket, followed by the Barbie Girl song's melody. "Hello?" She asked willing the other voice to be Rory's.

"Hey Mom." Miracle, it was her.

"Rory where are you."

"Somewhere in NY." Lorelai heard her mom yell fired once more in the backround before she heard the hurried rhythm of Emily Gilmore's stomping. It was getting closer, closer and finally it stopped. Square in front of Lorelai. "Is that Rory?" Emily asked excited. Then louder, "Rory dear is that you?"

"Yeah Grandma!" Rory yelled back.

"Do you mind not blowing my ear drum out?" Lorelai said, she meant it as a joke, but it didn't come out just so. "So give me the scoop." Lorelai tried to put her normally bubbly tone back into her voice, but everything came out as sarcasm.

"I'm at a rundown hotel and leaving in a few hours, probably heading to an amusement park."

"Oh." Lorelai replied, "When are you coming home?"

"At the end of the summer. Like my note said, I think you may need glasses mom, that or some red eye contacts." Rory joked.

"Kid you have to come back to get ready for the return to Yale."

"I don't think I'm going back." Rory admitted dropping her voice ever so slightly.

"You're going back! Your not going to end up like me! With no education, and no actual food in the house."

"Mom—"

"Don't Mom me. What about being a reporter Rory?"

"Things change."

"God—" Lorelai didn't get any further. Emily snatched the phone and started talking soothingly to Rory. Telling her to do what her heart desired.

"Hel-lo it's my phone." Lorelai said annoyed, but then after getting no reply simply scowled.

Then she handed the phone to Richard, who copied Emily completely agreeing with everything going on in Rory's head.

"She wants to say goodbye to you." Richard said handing the phone to Lorelai.

"Rory—" But Lorelai didn't get any further.

The line was dead.

A/N 2: Okay, I don't know about this chapter, but I had to make Lorelai and the rest of the crew find out some way. They will probably appear every few chapters so you can see what they're gonna do to win Rory over. Uh what I just said made this story sound like a dating show LOL. I hope to make this a comedy/romance, but it needs it's drama bits which you'll see coming in future chapters. Again: To anyone reading this story or any others (especially Smirk) expect more, I've just been sidetracked with other stuff and stuff. Please review!
