"I still cannot believe that you bought a new outfit, even after Luke told you to wear old clothes." Rory said as they were gathering their clothes and stuffing them into duffel bags.
"Well, what's wrong with that? It was only a pair of jeans, a hat, and a new shirt," Lorelai said defensively.
"But you have tons of jeans, and shirts" Rory protested.
"Rory" Lorelai said.
"Okay, fine." Rory said as they continued to pack.
The next morning when Luke and Jess arrived at the Gilmore house, Luke could not believe what he saw.
Lorelai's jeep was already loaded with their stuff.
He really hadn't expected them to be ready.
When they rang the doorbell, Rory greeted them with a smile.
She was wearing an old pair of jeans, a sweatshirt, with a regular t-shirt underneath, tennis shoes, and a bandanna on her head.
When Lorelia came out of the kitchen, they saw that she was dressed similar to Rory.
"Hi guys" Lorelai said. Then she noticed what Jess was holding.
"Oh, I love you guys, you brought coffee" Lorelai squealed as she snagged a cup from Jess.
Luke thought that he had never seen Lorelai look as cute as she did right then.
That was until she opened her mouth.
"Since we don't know where the lake is and we're following you guys, we bought some walkie talkies, just in case we lose you guys. Rory" she said as she gestured at her.
Grinning, Rory handed a walkie talkie to Jess.
Luke and Jess stared in disbelief.
"A pink, Hello Kitty walkie talkie?" They asked in unison.
Jess quickly handed it to Luke, looking like he thought it would eat him.
Luke handed it back just as quickly.
"I'm not carrying this" Jess said as he tried to shove it back into Luke's hand.
But Luke refused to take it.
"Sorry, no can do. I'll be driving some; it wouldn't be safe to take it. It's all yours" Luke stated eyeing the walkie in disgust.
"And about that whole, you guys following us thing. I figured that we would just change the seating arrangements," Luke told Lorelai.
"What do you mean?" Lorelai asked him.
"I figured that Jess and Rory could ride together and you and I could ride in the other car," Luke said.
"Okay, but who's taking which car?" Lorelai asked.
Rory and Jess stood off to one side, watching Luke and Lorelai debate.
"Why don't we take your jeep and Jess can drive my truck" Luke suggested.
"So, you'll ride with me and Rory will ride with Jess in your truck?" Lorelai asked.
"Yes, except you and I can take turns driving if you want" Luke replied.
"Okay, then we're all set" Lorelai said with a nod to the waiting Jess and Rory.
Lorelai and Rory grabbed their snacks and windbreakers, and everyone headed out to the cars.
As Rory and Jess headed for Luke's truck, Luke stopped them.
"Jess, I want you to drive very carefully and both of you to buckle in" Luke told him sternly.
"Of course" Rory said and Jess nodded.
"Come on Luke" Lorelai called from her place in the drivers seat.
Luke threw Rory and Jess one last glance, before going and climbing in beside Lorelai.
Lorelai waited until they were belted in, before turning to Luke and asking, "Why did you let Jess and Rory ride together?"
Luke shrugged. "I figured that they would like it better if they could ride together."
Lorelai smiled at him. "Thanks."
