SORRY! It longer than expected but still, it didn't take more than a week. I already had this chapter made but: 1 I was nervous of the reaction it's gonna get, and 2 I got hooked on house, hehehe
Ok, here is where the challenge starts to come. The story is supposed to be set on season 5, so at the test run.
Kylie, you still out there?
Enjoy…
I've been trying to update this for hours but FF hadnt let me until now, sorry.
.o0 Stars Hollow, Summer 2004 0o.
"What the hell is going on here?!" a sixteen year old sky asked opening the door to his sisters room; Rory and Dean sprung up from the bed.
"Sky!" Rory covered herself and jumped to stand in front of her little brother before he jumped Dean.
"You're dead" sky threatened Dean trying to move away from Rory and towards Dean who was frantically putting on his clothes.
"Relax, kid" Dean told him buckling his belt.
"Dean, shut up" Rory told him. "Sky, come with me"
"You have got to be kidding me" sky snapped when Rory pushed him into the kitchen. "Rory, he's married" he pointed to her room.
"Sky, this is none of your business, this is my life; this was my decision"
"Today, you had to pick today?" he began pacing. "Today is Mom's day, it's her day and you screwed it"
"I didn't do anything"
"I'm gonna go" Dean said walking out of her room; sky took a step towards him.
"Sky, stop. Bye, Dean"
"Yeah" and with that Dean left.
"Damn it, Sky, what are you even doing here?" now she felt like crying, her little brother had messed up her night.
"Mom forgot something" he said in an even voice. "I'll just…" he motioned behind his shoulder.
"Wait, you're not gonna tell them, are you?"
"It's your life" he shrugged. "If you're old enough to sleep with a married man, then you're old enough to tell your Mommy about it"
"Sky!"
That night, Rory couldn't take the guilt and she told her Mom what had happened; granted Lorelai didn't take it very well and a fight ensured. After the blowout between mother and daughter came Lorelai's blowout towards Luke, which then turned into a blowout towards sky for knowing about this and not saying anything. Easy to say the opening of the Inn didn't go as planned.
The next morning sky left for baseball practice, and Luke left for the Diner; leaving both girls to dish it out some more, and later… Emily came by.
Emily's fight with her husband and Rory's fight with her family brought out an impromptu trip. The mess Rory left behind was only settled once she had a long phone call with Lorelai; and when Sky came home with an opened lip and torn shirt.
"Oh, my God. What the hell happened to you?" Lorelai rushed to her son's side as soon as he stepped foot inside the house.
"Nothing" he mumbled.
"I thought we told you no fighting" she said sternly while getting some ice.
"He had it coming"
"I don't care!" she handed him the ice. "Luke's gonna freak when he finds out you beat up Dean, he wanted to do that" she added with a grin.
"How did you know?"
"Because I'm your Mom" she smirked. "It was nice that you defended Rory like that. But if you ever fight again I'm going to beat you, and that's not something you want" she threatened and Sky just chuckled.
"Noted"
"Now, go to the Diner and face the music" sky groaned. "Go"
.o0 Days Later 0o.
Once Rory came back, and they got the whole Dean issue straightened out, Luke and Lorelai took the kids out to dinner saying they had some 'interesting' news.
"Oh, my God, I'm seeing ghosts"
"Hi Maisy" Lorelai smiled.
"I haven't seen you guys in ages" Maisy said hugging all four of them.
"Yeah, it's been a crazy couple of months" Lorelai agreed.
"Can we go take a seat now?" Luke asked with a smirk.
"Oh yes! Of course, go, go" Maisy gave them a slight push; they all went towards a both, Maisy trailing behind them hugging sky's arm.
"Skylar!" sky groaned.
"I hate that name" he told Buddy.
"I know, and that's why I call you that" Buddy teased and gave sky a manly hug with a pat on the back. "How's the team going?"
"Good" sky nodded.
"Lucas, you have one fine boy here" Bud told Luke who only smiled.
.o0 10 Years Earlier 0o.
"Luke, I don't want to do this; they'll hate me" Lorelai begged,
"They won't hate you; they loved you" he assured.
"Yeah, before, when I hadn't left you and kept your son from you" she argued.
"It'll be ok"
"Mommy, do they have burgers?" sky asked looking behind at Lorelai, they were about to enter Sniffy's.
"They sure do, honey, and they are delicious!" Lorelai assured even thought she was a nervous wreck inside.
"Yay!" sky shrieked.
"And shakes?" Rory asked.
"Yeah they do" Luke answered seeing as how Lorelai was bout ready to pass out.
"Yum" Rory smiled, Luke opened the door and let the kids and Lorelai walk in.
"Umm... you guys get a table, I'll go to the bathroom" Lorelai mumbled before disappearing.
"Why is she so nervous?" Rory asked Luke.
"Your Mom is crazy"
"Oh, ok" Rory nodded and Luke couldn't help but smile at how easily Rory had taken that explanation.
"Luke, is that you?" a voice asked. "What are you doing here? And who are they?"
"Maisy, hi" Luke suddenly got very nervous. "C-could we get a booth, please?" Maisy narrowed her eyes at him but showed them to their booth.
"You have burgers?" Sky asked right away while climbing into the booth.
"We sure do honey, and fries too" Masiy assured and sky smiled; she'd recognize that smile anywhere. "Lucas, can I talk to you?"
"Uhh… sure" he stood up. "Stay here and don't make a mess" he told both kids. "I'll be right over there" he pointed to a few feet away.
"Ok" Rory nodded.
"That boy is yours, is he not?" Maisy asked as soon as Luke was close enough to hear her whisper.
"Yes" Luke looked at his shoes.
"And the girl is…"
"Rory"
"Rory?" Maisy was taken aback; she hadn't heard that name in a long while.
"Yeah…" Luke turned to look at Maisy. "Lorelai's hiding in the bathroom; she thinks you guys hate her"
"Lorelai is here? We don't hate her, how can she think that?"
"Luke…" Sky pulled at the side of Luke's pants. "I have to go"
"Uh…"
"Really, really bad" sky squirmed.
"Ok, ok" Luke nodded.
"Go" Maisy waved her hand.
"Rory, do you want to stay here, or go fish Lorelai out of the bathroom?" Luke asked before he made a move to leave.
"Fish" Rory told him and got up.
"We'll be right back" Luke told Maisy before hurrying to the bathroom.
"Buddy!" Maisy called as soon as Luke was out of earshot.
.o0 Minutes Later 0o.
"Just relax" Luke told Lorelai once they were all sitting down.
"Mommy, this is huge" sky exclaimed motioning to the menu.
"I know" Lorelai used a happy voice trying to cover up.
"Lucas, let me see this boy of yours" Buddy called from a distance as he walked closer. His outburst scared sky a little and he hid behind Luke's arm.
"Hi, Bud" Luke rolled his eyes and stood up.
"Yeah whatever" Buddy waved him off. "I've seen you before, I see you all the time; I want to meet your boy" leave it to Bud to go straight to the point.
"Sky, come here" Luke beckoned.
"Sky?" Buddy frowned at the name.
"Go on, Honey" Lorelai encouraged.
"Hi Lorelai, nice to see you again" Buddy smiled at here. "Rory, you're as beautiful as ever" Rory smiled and shied away.
"You were always a charmer" Lorelai teased, she was feeling way better now.
"Always will be" he assured with a wink of an eye.
"Hi" sky said shy sitting on the edge of the booth.
"Hi there" Buddy smiled down at him. "I'm Buddy" he offered his hand; sky smiled and shook it.
"Tell him your name" Lorelai told him.
"Sky"
"No, honey, your name" she corrected.
"Lucas" he said quietly.
"Well, hi, Lucas" buddy shook sky's hand more eagerly. "Nice to meet you"
"I'm hungry"
"I see you are just like your Mother" they stopped shaking hands.
"Scoot over, kid" Luke said and reclaimed his seat.
"I'll go get started on your food. Nice seeing you again, Lorelai" Bud smiled before walking away.
"Mommy, we didn't order" Rory whispered scared.
"I know, honey; this is how it works here"
"They read minds?" Rory's eyes pop out.
"Something like that" Lorelai nodded.
"Cool" sky smiled more.

I know it was kind of confusing but I had to get the challenge in some how.
Again sorry for the delay.
