AN: Chapter 5, I decided I wanted a chapter of the town finding out that LL are back. Love the townies! ENJOY
Lorelai Gilmore woke up with a smile, she thought about her daughter going into her final year of college. She thought about Luke and how happy she was to be back together, she thought about April and then her phone rang
"Hello" She said
"Hey, Lore, it is Chris"
"Oh, Chris. Hi" Lorelai said deadpanned
"Wow, you sound happy to hear from me"
"You want to talk to Rory, I will get her"
"No, Lore why didn't you call me?"
"Because, I don't love you, Sorry Chris but Luke and I are back together and I would really like if you would bud out" Lorelai slammed the phone down and got dressed in jeans and a cute top.
As Lorelai and Rory made their way through town getting school supplies townies stared,
"I hear they have been back together for months" one said
"I hear she cheated and he still took her back" another said causing Lorelai to cast her eyes down in shame
"I hear Rory and April hung out, apparently Luke is letting April in their lives now"
"Bout time" one said with a laugh
"These streets are dangerous" Lorelai said as her and Rory walked hastily into the soda shop for a snack
"Ah, well if it isn't the Gilmore Girls" Taylor said using a very high voice
"Hey Taylor, two banana splits" Lorelai said and turned her head to the diner
As Rory and Lorelai made themselves comfortable they looked into the diner, Luke was taking an order but when he was done he looked up and smiled, waving at the two girls.
"Will you two be at the town meeting tonight?" Taylor asked as Rory paid the bill "Town meeting? Tonight?" Lorelai questioned
"Yes, we are planning the end of summer festival, amongst other things. You two should really come" Taylor sounded suspicious.
"We will be there" Lorelai smiled and then noticed April and Anna in the diner
"Mom, oh" Rory looked into the diner.
In the diner
"Hey Anna" Luke said and glanced over at Taylors to see Lorelai and Rory talking to Taylor
"So, here are all the papers and stuff for school. I will drop the rest of April's stuff tomorrow; she wants to stay here tonight though because she loves those town meetings" Anna pretended to not see Lorelai and Rory in the window
"Great, that's great, thanks Anna"
"And Luke," She leaned in "I would like to keep the girlfriend and girlfriends kid away from April as much as possible, I just do not like it"
"Well, they are in my life; April deserves to be around the people in my life"
Patty, Babette and Kirk all turned towards Luke
April came in breaking the tension "Hey, oh look Rory and Lorelai are next door" April waved and Lorelai waved back trying to not be over the top. "Mom, bye, I am going to go say hey to them"
"No, you are not" Anna said harshly
"Hey, Luke, Uh can I get more coffee" Patty interrupted
"Uh, hang on. Okay, April why don't you get situated and Anna, I will see you tomorrow. Everything is going to be fine so please just don't worry" Luke tried to ease the obvious awkwardness, next door Lorelai and Rory pretended to be looking at Rory's now open laptop but they both knew what they were really looking at.
"Look, just keep the distance" and with that Anna left
Luke and April made their way upstairs meanwhile Rory was putting her laptop away and the two were leaving.
"All clear" Kirk said pulling out a long sheet of paper
"Who had 2 months?" Patty questioned
"Me!" Gypsy turned from the counter.
"God, I am just so damn happy for them" Babette smiled
"I knew they couldn't stay apart" Patty chimed
"Babette, tell us everything again" Kirk said like a child ready for story time
"Alright well two weeks ago I saw Lorelai leave in a white dress, little while later Chris came and picked Rory up. I waited and waited and when Chris and Rory got home they both seemed very happy but Lorelai wasn't home yet. When Lorelai got home I saw Rory leave to give Paul Anka a walk and I guess Lorelai and Chris talked, few minutes later he left and he had kind of a smirk. Then about 30min passed and Lorelai ran out of the house. And people report seeing her at the diner. When she came home she was smiling and then I heard Rory laugh and they put music on. Since then there have been sightings, every night after closing she comes here and they just talk, she leaves and I don't know. Then last night her and Luke went on a date while Rory and April hung out! Rumor has it Chris keeps calling though, won't give up"
"Ah he needs to get a life" Gypsy said
"I know right, I mean..." Patty was cut off by Lane, who seemed rather annoyed with the townies; Lane liked being one of the only ones who knew
Town Meeting
"Wow, we are early for once" Rory smiled
"Ha" Lorelai said as they entered Miss Patty's
"Lorelai, Rory, over here" April waved them over.
"Hey" Rory gave her a hug "Hey Luke" she said smiling.
"Hi" Lorelai smiled as she hugged April and sent a wink to Luke who couldn't help but smile.
The four sat down in a row, Luke, April, Rory and Lorelai at the end.
"This town meeting is now in order!" Taylor banged the gavel "Okay before we talk about our summer festival we have to talk about an issue that has been brought to my attention. It seems a certain diner and inn owner have reunited…. Again and I"
"Taylor!" Lorelai said shocked
"What the hell?" Luke said
"As I was saying, I am not happy about the sneaking around. I propose a new town law that states that when two people are in a relationship they must register as so…" Taylor seemed proud
"What?" Lorelai, Rory and April said in unison
"Taylor you can't force people to tell you that" Lorelai said
"So are you denying the reunion?" Taylor asked
Without thinking Lorelai shot up "No! look, yes Luke and I are back together but honestly it is none of your business! It is mine and Luke's"
"Yeah! if we want anyone's opinion it would be our daughters!" Luke waved his fist around
"So all those in favor?" Taylor asked ignoring Luke and Lorelai who were both standing, everyone looking at them. Only kirk rose his hand.
"All opposed" he grumbled. Every hand rose
"Okay well next order…"
"Wait, I have something to say" Andrew said, "Luke and Lorelai have given me the confidence" he walked across the room to Gypsy and pulled her up kissing her
"What is going on here" Taylor demanded
"I am in love with Gypsy and we have been dating for 3 months" Andrew said loudly.
Luke and Lorelai who were now sitting looked at each other "I thought he was married" Luke said
"He and Carol divorced 3 years ago Luke" Lorelai whispered
"And I love Andrew!" Gypsy said in her thick accent.
Everyone, including LL clapped for the couple.
"Hey, let's go get pie" Lorelai said
"Okay" Rory replied and the 4 made their way outside
"Well the town knows" Lorelai said
"Good, now I can do this" Luke grabbed her and pulled her into a kiss
Rory and April couldn't help but smile and laugh
AN: okay that was my townie chapter. Thanks for reading!
