A/N: Okay, I just want to note something. When I type Michel talking it will not be in correct grammar. I'm going to type it how I think French people sound (No offence to French people). Just a warning.

"Rory!" Lorelai cheered as she and Logan walked into the Inn. "Merry Christmas Eve Day!" She hugged her.

"Merry Christmas Eve Day!" Rory said setting down her bags of presents she had carried in.

"Hi Logan." Lorelai said waving. "Merry Christmas Eve Day!"

Logan set down his bags of presents too. "Hi Lorelai." He said smiling. "Thanks for inviting us to spend Christmas with you. Colin and the others will be here soon."

"No problem. You can put those under the tree." She said pointing to the presents. Logan nodded and walked off to the Christmas tree next to the window of the living/ common area.

"So mom, who's here?" Rory asked, putting her coat on a hook.

"Actually, besides me and Luke and Jackson and Sookie, no one." Lorelai said.

"Really?"

"Yeah. Lazy bastards." Lorelai grumbled.

"Mom, give them time. It's Christmas."

"Oh alright."

Just then, Michel walked in.

"Ah, Rory. Hello." He said smiling.

"Merry Christmas Michel." She said happily.

"Ah eet is, I suppose." He nodded and walked off.

Rory turned to her mom. "Why is he so happy?" she whispered.

"I gave in and let him bring his chows." Lorelai whispered back. "But we have a new 'No one can leave their shoes in the hallway' policy. Just in case."

"Ah." The door opened and Lane, Zach, and Brian walked in.

"Lane!"

"Rory!" They hugged.

"I'm so happy to see you!" Rory gushed.

"Me too! Oh my god! You look so good! Is it the Yale water? Because if so, I seriously need you to bring me some." Lane said.

"No way." Zach said stepping forward. "You're totally cool the way you are."

Lane smiled.

"Well, don't just stand there! Come in! Come in!" She helped them hang their coats. "Michel!" she called.

Michel appeared. "Yes?"

"Lane and Zach and Brian need their room keys." Rory told him.

"Ah yes." He handed them their room keys. "You two" he pointed to Lane and Zach "Are in ten. And you" he pointed to Brian "are in eleven. Yes?"

Lane and Zach nodded, implying that they understood. Brian followed suit.

"Good."

The door opened again, and Paris walked in.

"Paris? What are you doing here?" Rory said surprised.

"Well I was going to visit my parents since they finally found property in the U.S. But I'm about to get on the plane and the bastards call and tell me that they've come down with the flu. So since you invited me here before, I came here. That okay?" she asked hanging her coat up.

"Uh…"

"Hey, what's up? Lane, Zach! Hi!" Lorelai said coming in. "And… Paris. What a lovely… surprise" she said forcing a smile.

"Hello Lorelai. Nice to see you." Paris said hugging her.

"Er… Yes. It's nice to see you too, Paris. I thought you were staying with your parents." She said awkwardly.

"Well, my plans got changed. I assumed I'm still invited to stay here?"

She forced another smile. "Of course, Paris. We have plenty of room. Michel!" she called.

Michel walked in. "What?" he said, clearly annoyed. "And may I ask how hard it is to say to a person 'Go to ze front desk to see Michel for service?'"

"Paris here" Lorelai began, putting her hand on Paris' shoulder, still forcing a smile "has changed her plans and decided to stay here with us. Can you please give her a key to an empty room?"

Michel sighed. "Follow me."

Logan walked in, holding his cell phone.

"What's wrong?" Rory asked.

He smiled. "I'm fine, Ace. Steph just called. Seems Colin and Finn got into an argument and now they are all lost. I was wondering if someone could help them? I would, but I'm not familiar with this area."

"Not from me." Rory said shaking her head. "I'm awful with directions.

"Lorelai?" Logan said hopefully.

She snorted. "Where do you think Rory got it from?" she asked. "I'll go get Luke. He's good with this road stuff.

About an hour later, Finn, Colin, and Steph arrived. "I am so sorry!" Stephanie cried once inside. "We would've been here sooner if these two idiots wouldn't have thrown away the directions." She said gesturing to Colin and Finn.

"Was that an insult?" Finn said defensively. Stephanie sighed and shook her head.

"Well, you're here now and that's what counts. Hi everyone. I'm Lorelai, Rory's mom. Welcome to our inn." She said.

"Hi, Lorelai. Thank-you so much for inviting us to spend Christmas here." Stephanie said politely.

"Hey, no problem. Any friend of Rory's is a friend of mine." She said smiling.

"I'll go get Sookie." Rory said walking towards the kitchen.

"What's a Sookie?" Colin asked.

Lorelai chuckled.

"Everyone, this is Sookie St. James." Rory said returning with Sookie. "She owns the inn with mom. And she's the best cook in the world." She said proudly.

Sookie smiled. "Hi." She said waving.

"This is Colin, Finn, Stephanie, and you know Logan." Rory said gesturing to each in turn.

"Hello." Stephanie said.

"Pleasure" said Colin.

"Hello, love." Finn said, kissing her hand. "My god, she's a red head. You're quite beautiful."

Sookie giggled.

"O-kay! Time to go upstairs." Rory said quickly. She grabbed Finn and pulled him upstairs, the others following her. "She's married!" she said slapping his arm.

"Ow! Sorry, love. Got a bit carried away there." He said happily.

"Well, just…behave." She handed them each a schedule of the events. "Brunch is in ten minutes. We'll see you down-stairs."
