Chapter 12

"Lorelai wake up honey." Max said. Lorelai burried her head in the pillow deeper. Rory removed the pillow.

"What is this? Some evil plan to make the mother get up and do her duty?" Lorelai mumbled.

"No this is some evil plan for the husband to take his wife and well Rory out for breakfast to Luke's since he knows she can't live without it." Max said.

"Up sleepy." Rory said. Rory and Max went out of the room. Lorelai crawled slowly out of bed.

Lorelai threw on a skirt and a shirt to get to work at the Inn. When they arrived at Luke's Diner Dawn was there. Dawn and Luke were arguing about well Lorelai couldn't catch quite what but she was going to side with Luke.

"Hey what's Luke's business is Luke's business he won't change. I know him he's stubborn." Lorelai said.

"I'm more open to change then you." Luke stomped off.

"Luke we love you she's sorry she's a woman possessed please bring the magic coffee." Rory pleaded.

Luke laughed and came back out.

"I forgive you because you're posessed." Luke said.

"Hmmph I wouldn't be if it weren't so early." Lorelai said.

"Here's your coffee to go Dawn I'll see you at Lorelai's later."

Lorelai glared at Dawn without even thinking about. Rory gave her mother a look.

"I'll drive you to the Inn and pick you up Lorelai. I gave Rory some money but I'm taking you out tonight." Max said. Lorelai smiled Luke stomped to the back.

Lorelai walked into the Inn smiling. Michelle looked upset already at being overworked so it was bound to be an interesting day at least.

"Do we have coffee?" Lorelai asked him.

"Maybe I do not know you will have to ask Sookie since I have not been in there since I came on time." Michelle said scowling.

Lorelai walked into the kitchen.

"Hey Lorelai how are you?" Sookie asked.

"Just fine. What are you so happy about?" Lorelai asked Sookie.

"I asked Jackson out." Sookie said.

"You what?"

"Well ya seem so happy with Max I just thought why the hell not." Sookie said.

"What did Jackson say?" Lorelai asked.

"He said yes." Sookie sounded almost fearful.

"Well what's the problem?" Lorelai asked.

"The problem is he said yes. I don't know what to wear what to do and we haven't even said a date yet." Sookie said.

"I'll help you and if you want to take the pressure off I'll even come along with Max." Lorelai said.

"Oh thank god."

Rory walked into class.

"You're late." Paris said staring at her.

"Yeah so?" Rory asked.

"Little miss perfect is never late." Paris said.

"Oh shut up what'd I miss?" Rory asked.

"Well we're working in a group to inact the last scene of Romeo and Juliet." Paris said.

"What?"

"That's what she said." Louis said.

"Helpful ah they love shoving us together don't they." Rory said making a face.

"Hey I tried arguing but maybe two arguements are better then one." Paris said.

"Whose he?" Rory asked.

"Brad no one special."

"That is what we have to deal with as our Romeo. Let's meet in the cafeteria after school. Be there and don't be late."

"Wait whose Juliet?" Rory asked.

"You are."
"I wanted to be Juliet." Louis said.

"You're a slut Juliet is virgin Rory has little birds dressing her in the morning case dismissed. Madeline Juliet requires more then one line." Paris snapped. Rory got ready to go into her next class

Max picked Lorelai from the Inn. She had changed into a blue evening gown as he had told her to change. Lorelia stepped into the Limo Max had hired for the evening. Max had bought certian changes into the Gilmore household that included money among other things.

"You ready? I got us tickets to a broadway show and dinner in N.Y. Plus a night at a hotel. I already cleared the weekend away from your parents so the heats all on me and Rory will still go to Friday night dinner." Max said.

"Awe Max you didn't have to do this. We'll be back in plenty of time for movie night with Luke and Dawn." Max added.

"You were so sweet to do this thank you a weekend without my parents interfering is like heaven." Lorelai said.

Max nodded. The broadway he picked was Phantom of the Opera. Lorelai loved it she also loved the dinner.

Max took her into the hotel room and they closed the door behind them.

Rory stepped off the bus and instead of Dean Jess was waiting for her.

"And the day just keeps getting better." Rory said.

"Awe you miss me."
"Only in your dreams." Rory said.

"I did have a dream about us." Jess said.

"You're worse then Tristan." Rory said.

"I'll find a way to see you tonight." Jess said.

"Don't bother I'm going to spend time with Dean who is driving me to my grandparents for Friday night dinner." Rory said.

"Even better you can bail." Jesse said.

"I cannot."
"Can too I'll take you to New york."
"My mom's there." Rory pointed out.

"Think about it."

"Whatever Dodger." Dean walked up.

"Thank god one bright thing in my day." Rory kissed Dean.

"Bye Jess." Dean said. Jess rolled his eyes and followed them.
