A/N: I'm not sure how many tents would be in a hunting and fishing goods store, but for the purpose of my story, it's a lot.
When Luke agreed to let them come, Lorelai jumped up off of her stool and squealed.
"Thank you! You won't regret this. We'll light a campfire at night, sing songs, and make s'mores."
"Stop!" Luke held up his hand. If you don't want me to change my mind, you will stop right there.
"But, don't you like to sing Lukey?" Lorelai asked as she put on an innocent expression, but her sparkling eyes gave her away.
"Lorelai" Luke started, but before he got any further Jess and Rory came out of the kitchen holding plates of burgers and fries.
"What was all of the squealing about?" Rory asked as she sat down, and passed a plate to Lorelai.
Taking the plate, Lorelai sat back down and turned to Rory.
"Guess what we're doing this week."
"What?" Rory asked.
"We are going camping!" Lorelai announced dramatically.
Rory just stared at her in disbelief. "We are going camping?" She asked, putting emphasis on the words we, and camping.
"But we don't know the first thing about camping" Rory protested.
"Oh, that. Well, don't worry about it. Luke knows all about camping" Lorelai said.
Rory looked over at Luke and Jess.
"Okay, focusing on you now Luke, cause she is not making any sense. What does she mean?" Rory asked him.
"You guys are going camping, and fishing with Jess and me this week." Luke stated in a monotone voice.
"Okay. That's cool, I guess" Rory said.
Jess grinned at her. "This is great. I don't really know how to fish, but maybe after Luke shows me how, then I can show you how to fish."
"Hey Luke, when are we leaving?" Lorelai asked him.
"Tomorrow morning. We're leaving really early, like four in the morning. So you'd better be ready, or we will leave you" Luke said gruffly.
Lorelai was staring at him, openmouthed. "Tomorrow? Four in the morning?" she repeated.
"Luke, why didn't you say so sooner? We have tons of things to do." Lorelai squeaked.
"Like what?" Luke asked her.
"Umm, well let's see. We have to pack, buy some new clothes, buy fishing rods, a tent, stock up on coffee, and who knows what else!" Lorelai finished.
"Look Lorelai, we already have enough fishing poles, and everything else that you need to fish with, and you need to wear old clothes. We will be hiking and fishing, not parading down a runway. And Jess and I will be supplying the food, so the only thing that you need to do, is pack and buy a tent." Luke told her sternly.
"Are you saying, that I don't need to buy a new outfit?" Lorelai asked in disbelief.
"Yes, I am" Luke said firmly.
Rory laughed softly. "She'll buy one anyway."
Jess just sat back, and listened to their verbal sparring match.
Luke shrugged. "Well then you had better get going. It's already eleven a.m."
Lorelai grabbed her purse and Rory, and headed for the door. Opening it, she rested her hand on the knob and turned to Luke. "We'll see you at lunch tomorrow?" she asked hopefully.
Luke frowned at her. "Four a.m., be ready or we will leave you." he said firmly.
Lorelai grimaced. "Okay fine, you win. We'll see you at four, but bring coffee!" With that last parting remark, they were out the door.
An hour later, Rory and Lorelai were in a hunting and fishing goods store.
As they browsed, Lorelai started noticing all of the men in the shop.
They were all testing rods and reels, and just generally browsing.
Lorelai grabbed Rory's arm and whispered. "Rory, look at all of these guys! How come we never knew about this place before?" Lorelai asked.
"Look mom, we are here to buy a tent, not get dates. For one thing, I have a boyfriend. Remember Jess? And for another, you don't want to date an outdoorsy man, unless it's Luke." Rory stated firmly.
"Rory!"
"All right, I'll drop the Luke thing but we need to go get a tent." Rory told her.
Lorelai sighed dramatically. "All right fine. Lead the way to the tents."
When they got to the tents, they both just stopped in their tracks and stared.
"There are so many to choose from. How are we ever gonna choose?" Rory said.
Grabbing Rory's arm, Lorelai started marching through the rows of tents. "We are going to look until we find one." She said firmly.
Five minutes later, Lorelai stopped beside a tent. "This is it!" She announced gleefully.
Rory stared in disbelief. "I can't believe it. It's actually pink!"
After getting the tent, they picked up a blowup bed, and some pink rain ponchos.
After paying for everything, they headed to the next store to buy Lorelai a new outfit.
