Part 17b 'Partying With the Little People'
"Come on Rory we got to go, I took Eden over to Babette's are you nearly ready?" Lorelai shouted down the stairs as she walked down them putting her earrings in at the same time.
"Mom, I don't feel too good" Rory complained, trying to look sick
"What's the matter sweetie, are you still moping because Logan's stupid flight was delayed" Lorelai joked as she stood beside the mirror forcing the last earring in
"No, I just feel a little sick" Rory moaned again
"Well take some drugs and get your little ass out here now" Lorelai shouted as she entered the kitchen and pulled out a box of aspirin and paracetamol
"Mom I don't think I should go" Rory said sitting down at the table
"Why not?" Lorelai asked getting a little suspicious.
"Because I feel ill and I don't want to spoil yours and Luke's special evening together" Rory tried
"What's so special about it, we're going to drive 2 minutes down the road and eat at a restaurant where, trusting our luck, Kirk will be working, then we'll come home, I'll make Luke watch a movie with me and he'll fall asleep on the couch, what's so special about that" Lorelai explained
"Nothing it's just it must be special, he's picking you up" Rory added trying to make it sound like it was special
"So…..?" Lorelai was still waiting to get what Rory was going on about
"Your forgetting Luke lives here, he's getting dressed at April's and then driving down here just to pick you up" Rory was almost certain this one would make Lorelai click onto what Rory was implying
"And…..?" Lorelai asked, she hadn't a clue what Rory was trying to get at
"I just don' feel well, you go, have fun!" Rory said standing up and pushing her mom towards the door
"Rory" Lorelai tried
"Mom, go" Rory kept on pushing as Lorelai tried to turn around
"But" Lorelai fought
"Mom" Rory said looking down at Lorelai and talking to her like a child
"Fin, fine, I'm going, but we're going to talk about this when I get back!" Lorelai said stubbornly
"Hell, 25 years old mother!" Rory announced
"Right, we're still going to talk about it though!" Lorelai added just for comfort, to show she was still boss
"Fine great, I look forward to it, now go, that was Luke!" Rory said pushing Lorelai out of the door literally
"Bye sweetie have fun!" Lorelai waved as she walked to Luke's car
"I will, you too!" Rory added as she shut the door and then walked back into the living room and sat down on the couch.
Rory sat down satisfied as she heard the sound of Luke's truck pulling away.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Rory, Rory" Lorelai came in shouting and Rory quickly sat up from the couch
Rory had been asleep on the couch and it was almost 1.30
"what?" Rory asked, then suddenly realised what tonight was so special for
"Luke"
"What about Luke mom, come on full sentences please" Rory begged as she rubbed her eyes and turned around to face her mother
"Luke, he proposed to me tonight, look" Lorelai shouted ecstatic showing Rory the ring on her finger proudly
"Oh My G-d that's so great mom I'm so happy for you guys" Rory screamed as Lorelai jumped up and down
"Me too kid" Lorelai added as she grabbed hold of Rory from the other side of the couch and almost squeezed Rory to death in a tight hug.
"I can tell" Rory added sarcastically as she felt her face being squashed by her excited mother.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The next few days went quickly in Stars Hollow as the town prepared Lorelai's and Luke's engagement party. Lorelai had realised why she hadn't wanted to go out with Luke and Lorelai that night and she was thankful. Lorelai was ecstatic with Luke's proposal and of course he had said yes. Logan had managed to get a flight out for tomorrow so Rory was over the moon.
Lorelai had gone to work early and Rory had been left to sleep in. when she woke up, surprisingly enough there was once again no food in the house so Rory wandered towards the town centre in search of breakfast. As she passed miss patty's she saw people moving things around and hanging banners.
"Hey miss patty, what going on here?" Rory asked
"The engagement party ahs been moved because Kirk accidentally let it slip we were planning it at the inn, so we're having it here in the studio." Miss patty explained
"Is Taylor ok with it, because last time we had a party he has a fit!" Rory said recalling the party they ad had a few days before for Rory's return.
"Oh he'll get over it, he's too busy fighting with some one over the height of their tree to pay any attention to us right now, but I guarantee you we'll be his next target"
"But what if he makes us cancel the party" Rory wondered, she knew how stubborn and stuck up Taylor got about these sort of things.
"My dear he wont, I have my ways with men" Miss Patty said mysteriously.
"Ok" Rory nodded not really wanting to know what miss patty was talking about, so she just shrugged it off and wandered inside to look around
"Do you need any help?" Rory asked Babette who was painting a big banner reading congratulations!
"No thanks Hun, We're doing just fine here, you should rest, where's that baby of yours?" Babette asked. Eden had been getting more attention than her and Rory loved seeing people admire Eden. It made her feel like she had done something good in the world.
"Oh she's with my mom and Sookie today" Rory added, wandering around the hall quietly observing people as they worked.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Logan" Rory ran towards Logan as she saw his face gracing the airport building, fans and onlookers watched as what looked like a scene of love took place before them
"Hey ace" Logan said holding Rory close to him and kissing the side of her face.
"I missed you" Rory said watching as Dylan and Levi dragged their bags behind them with 3 jumpers on each
"Yeah, well I missed you too" Logan said teasing Rory.
"Er Logan, what's with the jumpers?" Rory questioned
"They were cold and they thought there would be snow so they put three jumpers on" Logan explained, taking the heavy bag of Dylan who was having trouble picking it up.
"So you let them leave the house in California sunshine like that?" Rory asked almost laughing at the stupidity of the three of them ever being without her
"Yeah" Logan said innocently not really getting what Rory was laughing at
"You don't even realise how much you need me do you?" Rory laughed picking Dylan up and grabbing hold of Levi's hand
"Obviously not" Logan added following behind them with all the bags on his back and in his hands.
"So guys, this is Stars Hollow" Rory explained as she pointed things out to Dylan and Levi from the car.
"Oh I already know, I've been here" Logan said smiling t Rory
"I know you have, but they haven't" Rory said emphasising the they and continuing to point things out to the boys.
"Now over there is Luke's who has the best cheeseburgers you will ever have? Now that's Weston's, one word for you, cake."
Logan looked on as Rory pointed all of these child hood places out to their oddly fascinated young boys. Logan always thought Rory was the most beautiful woman he knew, but she always looked more beautiful in stars hollow, because when she was home, she was glowing.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"So this is the all famous Dragonfly Inn, this is where Lorelai works"
"Cool Lorelai!" Dylan said excitedly, he had really taken to Lorelai back in California and Rory loved that he and her mom had such a connection, it made her happy.
"Where's Eden?" Levi asked as he stepped out of the car followed by Logan "And where's the snow?"
"Well Eden is inside and I'm not sure about the snow, but you could always ask my Mom, she can smell the snow" Lorelai explained to a wide eyed Levi. Rory loved how much the boys were enjoying being in Stars Hollow, it made Rory feel like she could go back to California and live with her boys and Eden and Logan and still be able to feel that her home stars hollow was always there.
"Don't tell them that" Loan said laughing
"What? It's true" Rory added. Levi and Dylan ran up to the front of the inn and pushed open the stiff door, Rory closed the car door and thanked the driver, she began walking towards the inn when all of a sudden Logan came up behind her and gently took hold of her freezing cold hand and let it rest in his. Rory turned to face Logan standing next to her, but he just placed his fingers on her lips
"Shhh! don't say a thing" He whispered as they headed for the inn.
"Lorelai!" Dylan and Levi shouted as they spotted Lorelai standing behind the desk next to Michel
"Oh great more of your little kiddies to fill the place with joy!" Michel said sarcastically placing the mail he had been looking through down on the counter and wandering off into the dining room.
"Hey, my babies are back!" Lorelai shouted, she to putting down the mail she had been looking through and running over to hug Levi and Dylan.
"Can you smell the snow?" Levi asked quickly
"What?" Lorelai asked puzzled
"Mommy said you could smell snow and we want snow" Levi said sweetly smiling with his angelic little face at Lorelai
"Well we'll have to see then won't we, are you guys hungry, because Sookie's making lunch" Lorelai asked, desperately wanting to show them both off to Sookie in the kitchen
"Who's Sookie" Dylan asked quietly
"Who's Sookie? Well your about to find out my little friend" Lorelai said taking hold of Levi's hand and then Dylan's and leading them off to the kitchen.
"Hey Sookie?" Rory asked as she walked into the empty Dragonfly Inn kitchen.
"Yeah Sweetie" Sookie said popping her head out of the freezer door.
Rory walked into the kitchen further and took in the smell of scones cooking in the oven, a beautiful smell, it smelt traditional and homely, Rory never smelt anything like this anywhere else but her home, Let alone anywhere near LA or the West Coast for that matter.
"Erm, do you know what the final plans for my Mom and Luke's party tonight are?" Rory asked, knowing that Sookie had been the main event planner.
"Yeah sure honey. Me and Jackson and the rest of the town are going to be at Miss Patty's by 7 and you and Logan are taking Lorelai and Luke to dinner, or so they think, but you should get to Miss Patty's by 7.30 and we'll all jump out and shout surprise!" Sookie said in her usual high pitched excited voice.
"Great, so do we need to get dressed up or?" Rory wondered wanting to make sure that this night she had been looking forward too much went exactly as planned.
"Well it is going to be a fancy evening but comfortable smart sort of thing" Sookie said sticking her head back in the freezer and pulling out a tray of large chickens.
"Ok, Thanks Sookie, Well I'll see you there!" Rory said waving to Sookie
"Bye sweetie" Sookie waved and then sighed as she looked down at the skinless chickens laid before her "Now what to do with you" She quietly muttered to herself.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"So where are we going again?" Lorelai questioned suspiciously as she put her necklace on in the mirror.
"We're taking you and Luke out to dinner, to celebrate your engagement and all" Rory answered very professionally, she had to be careful that Lorelai and Luke didn't get any more suspicious than they already were
"Ok, whatever you say" Lorelai muttered.
Logan and Rory followed Luke and Lorelai out of the door some minutes later. Logan had Eden resting in his arms and Dylan and Levi were waddling along behind them.
"So why the h-ll are we walking?" Lorelai asked
"You guys are like billionaires why you being cheap?" She joked
"Just be quiet and follow us" Rory demanded stubbornly as she grabbed hold of Logan's arm and dragged him up-front.
As they all approached the silent down centre Lorelai and Luke were beginning to get more and more suspicious
"What's with the quiet?"
"Yeah where's Kirk and the rest of the stars hollow freak show" Luke said sarcastically walking towards miss patty's with his hands in his suit pocket. He looked uncomfortable, in fact he was uncomfortable, the only reason eh was wearing this suit was because Lorelai had made him.
Rory quickly walked up to the entrance to miss patty's trying to keep any more questions away
"What are we doing, I'm not going to a town meeting" Luke said stubbornly remembering the terror he got from Lorelai forcing him to go to the never ending town meetings
"Yeah kid what's going on" Lorelai asked looked puzzled at Rory
Before Lorelai or Luke could get and answer out of Rory or Logan, Rory had opened the doors to miss patty's to reveal the entire town nearly
"Surprise!" they all shouted and held their champagne glasses up.
"Oh, you guys" Lorelai said, she looked so happy as if she might even cry.
"Hey we had no idea" Luke said quietly to Rory as they followed Lorelai inside to talk to and celebrate with all of their friends.
"What have you been drinking?" Rory asked Logan. It was about 1am now and Levi, Eden and Dylan had all fallen asleep at the back of the room on miss patty's dance mats.
"Erm I think, I actually don't remember" Logan said, he was obviously very drunk and so was Rory
"I think it smells like miss patty's punch"
"Yeah that's It miss patty's founders day punch!" Logan shouted and Rory giggled tipsily.
"Hey Rory" Logan said
"Yeah" Rory turned to face Logan
Logan gently leaned in towards Rory and kissed her lips softly, Rory didn't pull away she kissed hi back
"What was that for?" Rory asked looking into Logan's wide eyes.
"Because I wanted to" Logan answered smiling at Rory as he took another sip from his champagne glass.
This time Rory leaned in and kissed Logan passionately and he just stood and looked at her.
"Why d'you do that?" Logan asked Rory simply
"Because I wanted too." Rory said smiling flirtily at Logan. She grabbed hold of hi sand that wasn't holding a champagne glass so tight it could break and dragged him to the back of the hall; she dropped his hand and then kissed him again passionately.
"Hey Rory, you know there are people around" Logan said trying to keep a straight face but he couldn't help laughing he was so drunk
"I know, don't let them bother you, I wont" Rory answered simply as she kissed Logan again and Logan kissed her back.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Lorelai woke up uncomfortably; she rubbed her eyes and opened them to look around the almost empty dance studio. Kirk was lying on a chair over by the window and she was laid next to Luke on the top of a table with what seemed like a grape stuck to her face. She slowly stood up and walked around quietly so as not to wake the few other people that were scattered around the room including Sookie who had her head in an empty punch bowl.
Lorelai walked to the back of the room in search of Rory, but instead she found Dylan, Levi and baby Eden stretched out together on one of Miss Patty's mats. Lorelai continued to walk further and further back until she reached the furthest corner. It was pitch black at the back of the room away from any windows or the big open door. Lorelai rubbed her eyes until the blurry tiredness went away and she could see clearly what looked like a half dressed Rory lay on top of a sound asleep Logan. They looked happy, so Lorelai decided to leave them, this is what she had wanted, Lorelai had wanted Rory to have what she wanted and Logan was obviously just that.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
