Laura's phone rang out her Sex and the City ringtone. She ran for it, knowing it was one of the Ls. When she picked it up she glanced at the caller ID. L2. That meant Lorelai. Laura automatically became concerned. Lorelai never called her. Not unless something bad was happening.

"Hey sweetie," she answered, sitting on her bed.

Lorelai sobbed in the phone in response. "Lorelai, baby, what's wrong?" Laura asked her.

Lorelai took a long time responding, trying to calm her sobs down. "Alex…" she said, and broke into sobs again. "Over." Laura sighed.

"I'll call Lydia and we'll be right over. We'll speed. Less than an hour." Lorelai smiled and nodded, knowing that even though Laura couldn't see her, she knew. They hung up and Lorelai crawled under the covers and clutched the pillow tight.

Forty five minutes later, she felt someone crawl under the covers on her left side. She turned over and smiled weakly. "Hi."

"Hey honey." Laura said, running her fingers through Lorelai's hair. Lorelai scooted closer to her and Laura wrapped her arms around her tight. "It's going to be okay. Did he hurt you? I know a prime ass-kicker if we need to go get one."

Lorelai smiled despite herself. "Send him after me." Laura's face changed tones as she became more worried than scared for her friend.

"Lorelai, what happened?" she asked. Lorelai opened her mouth to answer when she felt the bed shift on the other side of her. She turned over and smiled when she was Lydia.

"Sorry, I would have been here faster but apparently it's against the law to go over the number posted on those stupid white signs." Lorelai smiled lightly and Laura laughed.

"Always the speed demon," she said.

Lydia smiled, "Not always. Just for you and Lor."

Lorelai sighed. "I broke up with him. I didn't deserve him."

"What do you mean?" Lydia asked incredulously.

"I'm broken. I've given myself away to someone else. I'm scared to have sex with him because it might happen again. I'm scared that I love him and that I'm falling for him. I'm not giving him what he needs."

"Lorelai, you can't punish yourself for making one mistake when you were sixteen. You learned from it. You need to move on," Lydia said softly.

"I haven't learned enough yet," Lorelai sighed. "I'm not over it. If I was over it, I would feel as crummy."

"You broke up with a boy, of course you feel crummy." Laura said.

"I think he was going to propose," she sighed. "I would have said yes and married a man that deserved someone so much better than me."

Laura looked at her. "Lorelai, you're smart, beautiful, and amazing. He deserves someone like you. You're better than any other girl he could ever have."

Tears fell from Lorelai's eyes. "I'm just not over it, yet."

"You'll never be over it, Lor," Lydia said softly, touching her cheek. "It's a part of you now… And you have to give that part of you to someone."

"Fine. I'll give it to God and go to a convent and become a nun." She said sarcastically, burying herself further under the covers.

"The only nun you could ever pass as is Sister Mary Clarence. Except you can't sing," Laura said, smiling.

Lorelai laughed. "And I loved her too. She had spunk. I'd be a perfect Mary Clarence. Sister Mary Clarence was definitely not a virgin and neither am I."

"You don't have to be a virgin to deserve happiness," Lydia replied looking at her.

"The only happiness I ever find is in a carton of Half Baked." Lorelai said. Laura and Lydia laughed and the three fell asleep on the bed, holding each other as to escape the night that was in front of them.

Lorelai rolled over in her bed and ran into something soft, but definitely something with a form. What's in my bed? Lorelai groaned.

"Ow," Lydia said, putting her arms around Lorelai and grinning at her. "You're finally up! Yay!"

Lorelai laughed. "Oh, it's you." She rolled over and pretended to go back to sleep.

"Uh-uh," Laura said, bringing the aroma of fresh coffee into the room and tickling the bottom of Lorelai's feet. Lorelai giggled and sat up.

"COFFEE!" she said, grinning from ear to ear. The other two rolled their eyes and laughed as Lorelai scarfed down her first cup. They loved their friend, but this coffee habit was going to kill her.

"You better get dressed, Lorelai." Laura said matter-of-factly. "We have places to go, people to see, and giggles to be had."

Lorelai was confused. "Where are we going?" she asked.

"We're not telling you," Lydia replied.

"Please!" Lorelai pleaded.

"Get dressed."

Lorelai did her famous pout, knowing well that Laura and Lydia were completely immune to it by now. They looked at her with no expression on their faces.

"Fine!" Lorelai huffed and started putting on her jeans. The others rolled their eyes before they were interrupted. "Wait, will there be junk food there?"

"Even if there wasn't, I'm sure you'd find a way to bring it in," Lydia giggled. Lorelai finished getting dressed and poured herself another cup of coffee. Without knowing what she was going to do all day, she figured she better stock up on the coffee.

An hour later, Lorelai, Lydia and Laura were on the road, eating Fritos and drinking Cherry Coke. Lydia was driving just over the speed limit, and every time she went to switch lanes she'd try and pass through without hitting the reflectors on the road. It was a fun game for her, but for Laura and Lorelai in the backseat, it was definitely creating some problems.

"LYDIA!" Lorelai hollered, "Now I have nail polish on my toe!"

Lydia giggled. "Lorelai, if you really want to paint your toes, we could go to that nude artist."

"Nude Artist? What does that have to do with toe painting?" Lorelai asked.

"You haven't heard of him?" Lydia asked. "Oh my gosh, Lorelai. He's so cool. You strip naked and he paints your entire body so it looks like you're wearing clothes but really you're on the street naked."

"People are walking the streets naked?" Lorelai asked, dumbfounded.

"Yes."

"I wish a cute boy would be," Lorelai giggled. "Ooh! Can we walk the streets naked?"

Lydia sighed. "Lorelai…."

"What?" Lorelai contested. "It would be fun, see who noticed."

"Just the fact that I would know that I was walking in the mall naked would be enough for me to want to shrivel up and die," Laura said.

"Ooh, Laura's gonna shrivel up! Let's do it!" Lorelai said. Lydia sighed and looked at Laura, who rolled her eyes.
