Chapter 10
Ding! Dong! Ding! Dong! The church bells ring through the town as Luke and Lorelai sleep upstairs and Rory and Jess sleep downstairs. Both couples awake with a start.
"What the heck?!" Jess yelled.
"What time is it?" Rory groaned. Luke and Lorelai entered the room.
"What is that?!" Jess moaned.
"The church bells." Luke murmured sleepily.
"I duduced that Columbo. Why are they ringing at," glances at the clock " 2 in the morning?" Jess snapped. Suddenly there are voices yelling all over the town.
"What's that?" Rory yelped in fear.
"Dead guys yelling stuff." Luke and Jess said in unison.
"Ghosts?" Rory squaked.
"No, guys we're gonna kill yelling stuff." Luke muttered.
"You guys know what this means: Emergency Town Meeting." Lorelai said starting to pull Rory out of bed.
"How do you know?" Rory moaned.
"They did this once before." Lorelai explained while she and Luke handed Jess and Rory their coats. At that moment Lorelai's suspicions are confirmed. Taylor's voice calls out from the center of town:
"Town Meeting. Town Meeting."
"Remind me to kill Taylor." Jess murmured.
"Okay, sweetie." Rory replied. They leave the house and walk to Miss Patty's where the entire town is gathered. The four take seats next to Sookie, Jackson, Lane, Zach, and Michel.
"Michel, what are you doing here?" Lorelai asked.
"I moved into an apartment that is in town. The bells woke me." Michel grumbled.
"Does anyone know what this is about?" Lorelai asked.
"Not a clue." Sookie replied. Then Taylor started to bang his gavel and the room falls silent.
"Attention townspeople. We have an emergency on our hands here. As some of you may know there have been an extroardinary number of geese plaguing Stars Hollow. Now we need to do something about this because-" Taylor began.
"Wait a minute," Jess interrupts. "You woke us up at 2 in the morning because of some stupid birds?"
"Well, yes. The geese are a huge problem. You see-" Taylor began again.
"Dude, I have twins at home. I don't get enough sleep as it is and you wake me for some birds." Zach interjected.
"Now can I have some order people?" Taylor asked irritated at the stream of interuptions.
"No you may not have order. Not when you wake us at 2 in the morning because of geese." Luke cut in.
"Luke do not make me whack you." Taylor said.
"Ooh, dirty!" Lorelai exclaimed.
"Be quiet!" Taylor snapped.
"This is ridiculous. We're here at 2 in the morning because some stupid birds are hanging around you're house and keeping you awake." Gypsy exclaimed. Everyone began to get up and leave.
"Well, Michel welcome to the life of Stars Hollow." Lorelai said as they began to exit.
