A/N: HEY! New Chapter! Hope you like it :)

Lorelai woke up that morning and walked into the kitchen to find Rory looking at a pop tart in a deep thought.

" Hey." Lorelai walked over to the coffee pot and poured herself a cup.

" Hi." Rory said looking up.

" Ready to go to Luke's?" Lorelai asked.

" Sure." Rory sighed while she was about to get up, but Lorelai grabbed hr wrist and pulled her back down.

" Okay what's up with you? You've been acting all depressed since last night." Lorelai stated.

" I am just confused as to what to do about Dean." Rory looked down into her mug.

" Look, Rory... Do you like him?" Lorelai asked.

" I don't know. I might." Rory sighed.

" Well I think you need to figure that out before you make a decision" Lorelai advised.

Rory nodded. " Okay."

" If it makes you feel any better, this year you are having two parties." Lorelai tried to put on a fake smile.

" What?" Rory asked.

" Well..." Lorelai dragged on. Rory gave her a look and Lorelai closed her eyes shut. " Your grandmother called me last night and forced me into a small dinner party on Saturday for you birthday. I am so Sorry!" Lorelai said really quickly.

" Ugh." Rory put her head on the table. " Small dinner party?" Rory asked.

" Yes. Just me, you, both sets of grandparents, Luke, and Jess."

" Well as long as Grandpa Will, Grandma, Jess, and Luke are there." Rory agreed.

" Thank you." Lorelai smiled.

" So you really want to take them there to that house after our last visit?" Rory asked truly surprised.

" Sure...well...I Don't really have a choice." Lorelai pointed out.

" Ah." Rory noted. " Let's go to Luke's." Rory said getting up.

" To Luke's" Lorelai cheered.

Lorelai and Rory walked into the Diner and went to sit at the counter, where Will and Amy already sat.

" Hey girls." Amy and William both said.

" Hey Grandma, Grandpa, Luke" Rory said sitting next to Will.

" Hey guys." Lorelai said while taking the seat next to Amy and leaning over the counter toward Luke.

" Hey stud." She teased. Luke rolled his eyes and kissed here.

" Crazy lady" He mumbled against her lips.

" Damn straight." Lorelai smiled breaking away. She looked back at Will, Amy and Rory and they were all smiling.

" Oh... wipe those grins off." Lorelai stated. " I have some news for you all." Lorelai took a deep breath and turned to them, but was interrupted by Jess walking down the stairs.

" Oh God! Uncle Luke finally conceived a child!" Jess exclaimed sarcastically, although Amy didn't catch that.

" Oh my gosh!" Amy smiled and got up to hug Lorelai. Luke's eyes bulged out.

" What?" he asks.

" Wait! Wait. No!" Lorelai exclaimed. Rory looked at Lorelai with an amused face.

" Oh." Amy sighed with a disappointed face. She sat back on her stool. " What's the big news?"

" You all were invited to my parent's house on Saturday for Rory's birthday dinner." Lorelai explained.

" Don't your parents not like us?" Will asked.

" No. No. They like you." Lorelai tried to tell them. Will and Amy gave her a 'yeah right' look. " It'll be fine." Lorelai said like it was nothing. Luke and Jess just gave her a look and she looked toward Rory. "It'll be fine." She nodded.

Rory smiled and nodded too. " Yeah..." Rory agreed, but then went back to the plate of pancakes Luke put in front of her and shook her head.

" Whatever. Dinner is on Saturday, be ready by 5:45." Lorelai warned.

" Make sure to follow your own rules." Luke teased. Lorelai glared.

" I'm going to work now." Lorelai stood up and kissed Luke and exited the Diner.

" Your crazy son." William laughed at his son.

" What do you mean?" Luke asked.

" You're going to get eaten ALIVE at this dinner." Jess explained.

" Nah!" Luke wiped down the counter. " I'm not worried." He stated as he began to scrub the counter vigorously.

Rory stifled a laugh as she stuffed her mouth with pancakes. Luke glared at her.

" You are too much like your own mother for your own good."

" I take that as a compliment thanks Luke." She pushed her plate forward because it was clean and leaned over the counter and kissed him on the cheek then went to her grandparents and did the same. " Gotta go to school. Bye." She waved at Jess and left.

" Wait! Rory." Jess called after her.

" Yeah?" She asked.

" I know we we're supposed to meet after school today, but I can't today. I am going to meet my friend in Hartford. You can join us if you like." Jess told her.

" Nah. That's okay. I will probably hang out with Lane." Rory shrugged.

" Thanks Rory. See you tonight." Jess said walking away.

" Don't get into any trouble!" Rory yelled at him. He just waved at her and yelled back.

" Yeah Right." Rory grinned and walked onto her bus.

At the Inn, Lorelai walked into the kitchen to Sookie and Jackson fascinating about a new fruit.

" Hey guys." Lorelai smiled.

" Hey Lorelai." Jackson nodded.

" Hey hon." Sookie waved.

" Rory's birthday party is on Friday. You're both invited...actually the whole town is." Lorelai stated.

" Ooh! Can I make the cake?" Sookie asked

" Of course!" Lorelai smiled.

" The landscaper needs you." Michele said walking into the kitchen.

" Okay. Be out there in a second. Oh yeah. Rory's party is on Friday so start coming up with reasons to get out of it." Lorelai smiled sweetly.

" I'm going to be out of town." Michele told her in a fake disappointed tone.

" Huh. You used that last year." Lorelai said as she walked out of the kitchen.

Later that evening Lorelai walked into her house.

" Lucy, I'm home." She yelled in the best Ricky Ricardo voice she could do.

" We're in here." Lorelai heard from the kitchen. When she walked in she saw Luke and Amy cooking over her stove and William sitting at the table fixing her toaster.

" Where's my mini-me?" Lorelai asked.

" In her room with Jess." William responded.

" Okay." The phone rang just as Lorelai was going to ask them what they were making so she ran over to the phone.

" Hello?" Lorelai answered.

" Lorelai. It is your mother." Lorelai winced.

" Mom. Hi." Lorelai walked back into the kitchen praying that her mother had called to cancel dinner.

" What's your work schedule?" Emily asked.

" What? Why?" Lorelai asked.

" I want you to come shopping with me."

" With you?"

" We've already established that." Emily stated.

" Um...Okay. Why?" Lorelai asked.

" For a birthday gift for Rory."

" Oh. Well mom...I am sure anything you get her she will like. She isn't picky." Lorelai informed

" I want to get her something she will love. Something that you would get her." Emily pleaded.

" Fine. When do you want to go?" Lorelai asked.

" Tomorrow morning." Emily said.

" Okay. See you then." Lorelai said already hanging up.

" NO! Wait. I want that mother of yours to go." Emily said hastily. Lorelai could've sworn she heard a hint of jealousy in her tone.

" Amy? You want Amy to go?" Lorelai asked surprised. The whole kitchen went silent and Amy looked up from the stove.

She pointed to her self and mouthed to Lorelai "me" with a questioning look. Lorelai nodded.

" Yes. Amy." Emily sighed.

" Um. Okay. So do we meet at your house?" Lorelai asked.

" No. Meet me at Damien's 3:00" Emily ordered.

" Mom. I don't think Rory would like anything form there." Lorelai explained.

" Lorelai." Emily warned. "3:00. Dress nicely. Both you and-"

" Don't finish that sentence mom." Lorelai warned.

" Goodbye."

" Bye." Lorelai sighed and hung up.

" Well... We're going shopping with my mother tomorrow." Lorelai smiled. William laughed from his seat at the table. Lorelai just glared.

Rory walked down the hallway of her school, but was stopped by Tristan.

" Hey Rory." He smiled. She stopped and looked at him in amazement.

" You called me Rory." She smiled.

" Yeah. Well consider it a birthday present. Happy Birthday."

" It's not my birthday." Rory stated

" But it will be." He said reaching into his pocket and handing her an envelope that had already been open.

" On Friday at 4:03 in the morning, Lorelai Leigh- Oh my gosh." Rory put her hand to her head.

" You didn't know about this?" Tristan asked.

" Who else got these?" Rory asked. He shrugged.

" I think the whole class. They didn't tell you about this?" He repeated his question.

" It was supposed to be just a family dinner." Rory sighed. Tristan looked at her with a concern face.

" You okay?" He asked.

" I'm Fine. I have to go." She said walking away.

" See you Friday, Birthday Girl!" He shouted down the hall. She just waved him off. He sighed and turned the other way.

Rory passed a couple of girls gossiping about Tristan's new best friend, but then stopped when they noticed her.

" That's her." The Louise said.

" I wonder if Tristan's new friend is going" The other girl said.

" Well Tristan is, plus this guy is probably apart of society. Tristan wouldn't be a friend with him if he weren't in it. So I am sure the Gilmore's invited him." Louise stated.

Rory ignored them and continued walking to her bus stop.

Emily, Lorelai, and Amy were shopping in the store that afternoon.

" What about this?" Emily asked holding an old fashioned hat.

" Uh... Doesn't exactly scream Rory." Amy informed her.

" Nope." Lorelai shook her head. " Oh how about this." Holding up a guitar shaped purse.

" Now that is something Rory would like." Amy nodded.

" It's hideous. What would she need it for?" Emily asked.

" To put stuff in" Amy said

" Carry it around" Lorelai added. Emily simply shook her head and moved on.

" What about a string of pearls." Emily suggested.

" Mom, have you met Rory. She is still a kid, mom." Emily scoffed.

" She's a young lady Lorelai-" Amy cut her off.

" A young Lady shouldn't have a string of pearls, especially at her age." Amy kindly pointed out. Lorelai agreed with a nod.

" How about these planners?" Lorelai asked.

" Please be serious, Lorelai." Emily shook her head and continued walking. Amy sighed and followed after her.

" How about getting something simple, something not so out there. She likes things like that." Amy suggested.

" Oh yeah, you would know." Emily said rudely.

" Mom." Lorelai sighed.

Emily slowed down and turned back. " Fine." She turned to the side and saw some jewelry.

" How about something like this?" She said holding a bracelet.

" See now your thinking Rory. She would love that." Amy smiled. Emily looked at her and returned a small smile.

" Oh no, it's 12 dollars." Emily sighed.

" 12 dollars? We used to make a hundred of these for Liz and her friends for five." Amy stated in surprise.

" I am sure." Emily said.

" Ooh! It lights up!" Emily cooed. Lorelai looked at Amy with a scared face as her mother walked off to pay for it.

" I understand why you're afraid of her." Amy Whispered. Lorelai smiled.

Amy and Lorelai walked into the Diner and Lorelai immediately put her head on the counter.

" Worst day ever. Where's Rory?" Lorelai asked.

" Not here yet." Luke informed her. Lorelai sighed and looked around.

" Well, I guess you're just going to have to entertain me. Dance Burger Boy." Lorelai giggled.

" Will you marry me?" Luke asked.

Lorelai's heart stopped. " What?" She asked. Amy's eye's bulged out.

" Just looking for a way to shut you up. It worked." Luke smirked.

" You better be nice to me or I won't invite you to Rory's birthday party."

" Okay, don't invite me." He teased in a little kid voice.

" Fine." Lorelai said. " Please come." She pleaded after a couple seconds.

" No." Luke shook his head.

" It's for Rory." Lorelai pointed out.

Luke smiled and kissed Lorelai on the lips over the counter. " I'm going to go make you a burger."

Rory walked in and smiled when she saw Lorelai's face.

" Hey mom. Hey grandma. How was your day?" Rory asked.

" Hell." Amy replied. "Look at these!" Amy unzipped a bag that contained three fluffy dresses.

Rory laughed. " Sounds like Grandma. Well your day was better than mine."

" Aw Honey. I'm sorry, but it isn't possible." Amy put a hand on her shoulder. Lorelai nodded in agreement.

" I found out that my whole class was invited to my party."

" Oh man." Lorelai shook her head while pulling out her cell phone.

" No mom. Don't." Rory pleaded. " I will deal with this. If anything, it will turn out okay." Rory said.

" Okay." Lorelai nodded.

" Let's just order." Lorelai sighed and took her stool again. Rory sat in between Amy and Lorelai. They sat there for about 2 minuets waiting for Luke to come and take their order.

" Where is Luke?" Rory asked impatiently.

" He proposed to your mother." Amy informed her.

" What?" Rory asked turning to her mother.

" It was a joke." Lorelai sighed but smiled.
