AN: Here is what Rory and April did during Lorelai and Luke's date! Enjoy!
AN2: Even if you don't really like April, read this chapter. I think the she is adorable and you can't blame her for LL breaking up, that was because of LL not April.
The door shut leaving Rory and April standing in the foyer of the crap shack
"So, I was thinking we could go to the Borders in Hartford and just grab a pizza at the little pizza place across the street, sound good?" Rory asked as she grabbed her bag.
"Yea sounds awesome" April replied nervously
The 30min car ride was silent, Rory unsure of what music April liked cause her to just turn the radio on some random station, both girls didn't know exactly what they wanted to listen to.
"Here we are" Rory parked in front of the pizza place
"Awesome" April smiled
Ringtone goes off
"Oh that's me" Rory said "Hello? Hey Logan, sorry but I can't talk. Yes I know but I am hanging with April. I will call you tomorrow. Love you too" Rory hung up her cell "Sorry"
"It is fine, who is Logan?"
"My boyfriend, he is living in London" The girls made their way inside "So what can of pizza do you want?" Rory asked smiling at April
"Uh, peperoni" April sat down while Rory ordered and brought over some soda.
"Hope you like root beer, forgot to ask"
"Love it, so tell me about your boyfriend" April questioned
"Oh well he is great, we have had some rough patches but he is great, I love him" Rory smiled
"Does your mom like him"
"Uh, kind of, she thinks he is fine" Rory couldn't help but laugh a little "Your dad, well he doesn't like him that much"
"Why?"
"Well he, my mom and my dad sorta walked in while Logan and I were getting close"
"Like, close close"
"Yup"
"Yikes"
"Luke has always been like that. He has always protected me"
"I wish I had known my dad sooner, you have known him longer then me" April looked down at the table
"Yea, he wishes he knew you sooner too" Rory looked sympathetically at April
"Hey Rory, can I ask you something?" April said avoiding eye contact
"Sure"
"Well, I heard that the reason my dad and your mom broke up last May was because of me, Kirk said something like that if I hadn't come in they would be married, Patty told him to shut up but I just wonder"
"Oh April, that is not true. Look my mom and Luke were having problems, but they were because they had trouble communicating. The broke up only to realize how much they hated being a part. You are not the reason they broke up, that was all them" Rory gave April's hand a pat
"I am glad they are back together" April said looking up
"Me too, they belong together"
"I feel bad though"
"Why?"
"Because, when Luke and Lorelai broke up I thought maybe my mom and him would get together, be a family, then I realized that was crazy because they really don't have anything in common"
"April, don't feel bad. I am 21 and I still sometimes have dreams of my mom and dad and I being a family, but my mom and Luke belong together, they love each other so much." Rory felt a relief that she was not alone in her dreams of a 'real' family
"Well, if they get married, the 4 of us will be a family, not a traditional one but still" April smiled
"Yea, that would be awesome" Rory smiled and the food arrived. The two girls talked about books, movies, music, boys and everything under the sun.
"So, frozen yogurt?" Rory asked as they walked out of the pizza place
"Oh I love frozen yogurt" April giggled
"Let's go" Rory linked arms with April and the two girls made their way to the yogurt shop.
"Oh, it is 7:30pm. Rory can I use your phone I have to check in with my mom before 8 or she will freak"
Rory handed April her phone
"Hey mom" April said
"Hey, whose phone are you on I don't recognize this number"
"Oh, it is Rory's"
"Who?"
"Lorelai's daughter, we are hanging out" April suddenly felt like she was in trouble
"Can I talk to Luke?"
"No, he isn't around."
"Fine, I will see you tomorrow"
"Bye mom, love you" Anna hung up.
"Ooops" April said to Rory
"What?" Rory asked putting her phone away
"She sounded mad"
"I am sure it is fine"
"Maybe, but she sounded really mad"
Rory shrugged and they continued towards the frozen yogurt place
It was around ten when the girls pulled into the drive way, both laughing.
"Oh my gawd that is great" April laughed
"And Luke just stood there completely confused" Rory was in the middle of a story
Getting out they saw Babette running towards them
"Hey Ya Dolls!" she said
"Hi" Rory smiled
"Hey" April walked around and stood by Rory"
"We should be getting inside" Rory rushed April in before Babette could question them.
"Whats wrong?" April asked once they got inside
"Well, My mom and your dad are trying to take things slow and the town isn't so good with respecting privacy"
"Ah,"
"Yea, so want to watch some TV"
"Yea!" The two girls watched television and then looked at books until Luke came and took April home.
AN: Ok so that was that! Review and I love you!
