A/N: I am a horrible person. Not updating soon. I am so sorry. I will try and get better. Anyways. Here it is! I hope you like it. If not, well…suck it up. Haha. Jk. But please review!
CharmedChick89: I am glad you liked it. Yeah. It was sad when Liz mentioned it. I thought it would be nice to add Liz into the mix. I always liked her character.
SuperCoolPartyPerson: Yes, me too. I actually haven't read too many though, so I thought I would write this one. Through the story, there will be things they will discover that they have in common.
iloveRogan07: I don't think that Rory and Jess will have a relationship, first off because they are cousins, but they will defin. Be friends. I doubt Rory will take intrest in anyone considering she is only seven or eight, but if I do decide to write some sort of sequal or something where they are older, I guess I would have to decide who I want Rory to date.
The Mrs.Ventimiglia: I love you! Haha You are such a great reviewer!
Penguinopus: Yes they are only 7, but they don't technically work at the Diner. When you were little didn't you go to work with your parents or help around the house as their little helper? That's pretty much what they are doing.
StoryofGreen: Sorry I haven't updated sooner. I have been kinda depressed lately, so I haven't been into a writing mood. I hope you like it. I am glad you like the way I write the characters. Thanks for the review!
Lorelai walked into the diner a week later. She went there every day three times a day, four if she needed an extra cup of coffee. Again, she saw Rory working behind the counter. She was dressed in a flannel shirt and had a cap on backwards with her hair in a messy ponytail.
" Hey Rory." Lorelai smiled.
" Hey Ms. Gilmore." Rory smiled kindly.
" Call me Lorelai." Lorelai told the young girl.
" Okay." Rory nodded.
" So can you get me a cup of coffee?" Lorelai asked. Rory shook her head.
" Daddy fired me yesterday. I accidentally spilled hot coffee on Kirk." Rory giggled.
" ...But your still behind the counter." Lorelai told her.
" Yeah I was going to go with Aunt Liz and Jess to a play in New York, but Grandpa Will is sick, and Aunt Liz is taking care of him, while Jess is in Summer school." Rory told her.
" Jess is Liz's Son?" Lorelai asked.
" Yeah! He failed Gym." Rory giggled. " He wouldn't dress out and would read instead of play." Rory told her. " So...Daddy didn't want me at Grandpa's house because I will get sick too. So I have to stay here." Rory sighed laying her elbows on the counter.
Luke walked out of the kitchen and smiled at Lorelai.
" Hey Lorelai. Coffee?" He asked.
" Yes! Do you even have to ask?" Lorelai asked.
" My mistake." Luke smiled. " SO..." Luke smiled. " How are you?
" Good. You?" Lorelai asked with a shy smile
" Good." Luke nodded.
" ...So How is work?" Rory asked trying to break the awkwardness.
" Great. I am writing a new article." Lorelai smiled.
" Oh? On What?" Rory asked running around the counter to sit next to Lorelai.
" Well, originally I was supposed to write an article on the business in Philly, but I hate all that boring junk, so they are letting me write a human interest piece." Lorelai told Rory.
" Isn't that kind of like gossip?" Rory asked.
" Sometimes. But this one is based on this town. Small towns in general." Lorelai told her.
" Hmm. Our town is pretty lame." Rory sighed.
" ...And annoying." Luke pitched in.
" In a regular's eyes it is, but in tourist's eye, it is probably a fun place." Lorelai told her.
" I didn't say it wasn't fun. I just said lame. We have 9 porcelain unicorn stores, and like a thousand bazillion antique stores. Me and Lane are doomed." Rory said as she sighed.
" What do you mean?" Lorelai asked.
" Well me and Lane have been wanting a music store for the longest time." Rory told her.
" Oh really?" Lorelai asked.
" Yeah. I didn't really know much about music, but Aunt Liz makes us listen to a lot of music. Jess really likes hard rock. I like more of the classic rock." Rory told Lorelai.
" They blast that noise all day long." Luke told her.
" Same here" Lorelai said ignoring Luke's comment. "There is actually a really cool music shop in Hartford. Maybe we can take a trip over there." Rory's eyes lit up.
" Sure! Can we Daddy?" Rory asked.
" I am sure she didn't mean today Rory." Luke told her.
" No. Today is great actually. I am free, and it seems you need some help too." Lorelai said, as she looked at all the people who were getting aggravated because Luke had to be watching Rory, cooking and taking orders.
" Are you sure?" Luke asked. He had gotten to know Lorelai in the past week and she was a great lady, weird, but very nice.
" Absolutely." Lorelai nodded.
" Okay. Have fun." Luke told Rory as he handed her a 20-dollar bill.
" Okay." Rory nodded as she hopped off the stood. She had on a pink shirt with white short overalls. She also had on Black high-top converse.
Lorelai told Rory to wait by the car so she could talk to Luke.
" Thanks a lot." Luke said sincerely.
" It's really no problem." Lorelai told him. Luke smiled.
" I owe ya big." Luke flirted.
" I think so." Lorelai nodded.
" Maybe I can pay you back on Friday... Dinner?" Luke asked.
" Hmm... Friday. I think I can fit you in." Lorelai grinned.
" Great." Luke smiled and continued wiping the counter.
" Bye." Lorelai waved, Luke just smiled.
Lorelai walked out to her car. It was a small silver BMW.
" Nice car." Rory commented.
" Eh. It's alright. It is actually a gift from my parents. If I would've bought a car, I would've bought something more fun." Lorelai told Rory as they climbed into the car.
" Like a wrangler?" Rory asked buckling her seat.
" Yeah." Lorelai nodded. "So what do you like to do?" Lorelai asked.
" I like to hang out with Lane, and I try to play sports with Jess, but he doesn't really like to okay even though he's really good. I suck at them." Rory frowned.
" Me Too!" Lorelai grinned.
" So... You like my Daddy?" Rory asked.
" He's great." Lorelai nodded.
" No I mean like-like. Like, go on a date like." Rory grinned. Lorelai tried to hide her smile and kept her eyes on the road.
" Like I said before, he's great." Lorelai giggled.
" Are you going to ask him out?" Rory asked.
" Wouldn't you hate if we went out?" Lorelai asked. " I mean. What about your mom."
Rory sighed. "First of all I don't have a mom. And second of all, my dad never dates. I think it would be totally awesome if you did. Then you both can get married, and you can be my mom." Rory rambled.
" Whoa. Whoa. Whoa, there speedy Gonzales." Lorelai laughed. "I have known your father a week and we are going out to get to know each other on Friday." Lorelai giggled the last part.
" Awesome." Rory nodded in contentment.
" So what happened to your mother?" Lorelai asked.
" I don't know. She didn't want me." Rory looked down.
" Aw. Well any woman who didn't want you is crazy." Lorelai said turning a little to the young girl. The girl looked up and smiled slightly.
" So... What are your parents like?" Rory asked.
" Well... My mom and me are really close, while my father and me, don't exactly get along. I mean, we talk, but we aren't exactly in cahoots with each other." Rory giggled.
" That's cool that you and your mom are so close." Rory smiled.
" Lorelai, even if you and my daddy don't work out, can we still be friends?" Rory asked suddenly.
Lorelai smiled. " Best friends." She agreed. Rory nodded. They passed the orphanage and both Lorelai and Rory flinched, and turned to look the other way.
" So... We're here." Lorelai announced as she pulled into a little building. "Oh, and I hope you don't mind. We are meeting a friend a mine here. She actually lives in Stars Hollow, so you might know her." Lorelai told the young girl.
" Oh I hope I wasn't disturbing any of your plans." Rory apologized.
" No! I am glad you're here." Lorelai smiled and guided the little girl into the small, dark music store.
Lorelai walked up to a plump lady who was already looking at some CD's. She turned around and smiled.
" Oh My Gosh! Hey Lorelai!" The lady gave Lorelai a warm hug.
" Hey Sook. Sook, this is Rory. Rory this is my best friend Sookie." Lorelai introduced the two.
" Hey Rory!" Sookie gushed.
" Hey Sookie! I didn't know you knew Lorelai." Rory laughed.
" I didn't know YOU knew Lorelai." Sookie shot back.
Lorelai stood in between the two with a confused look about her face.
" You two know each other?" Lorelai asked.
" Hello. Small town." Sookie grinned. "I have known Rory since… How old where you when you came to Stars Hollow?" Sookie asked.
" Three!" Rory grinned. Sookie nodded, and looked back at a confused Lorelai.
" I thought…never mind." Lorelai waved it off. "Let's get some CD's." Lorelai exclaimed.
An Hour Later Lorelai, Sookie, and Rory are all eating at a small café, when Lorelai's phone rang out loud.
Lorelai looked at the screen and sighed. She answered it.
" Hello… I'm Fine." She answered coldly. " What do you mean what's wrong with me? Chris! Stop saying you're sorry. You've been saying that for the past eight years… Yes! It is… Do not blame this on my mother, Chris… Shut up… CHRIS! DO not talk to me like that… Are you kidding me?" Lorelai was now beat red and was yelling into the phone. Sookie just looked down at her food while Rory looked at Lorelai with curiosity.
" No! Do not call me that! Takes two to tango, Chris… I cannot believe, after not hearing from you in what 3 years, you bring this up again. There is nothing to discuss. It happened, it's over with." Lorelai sighed. Tears were forming at the ends of her eyes.
" Look. I am eating with some friends… No Chris. I don't want you to come here. I know you are in town… Bye Chris… No… BYE." Lorelai quickly shut the phone and threw it in her purse. She put a napkin over her eyes and wiped then away. She took a deep breath and looked up and smiled at Rory.
" Don't ever date." Rory just nodded.
Sookie finally spoke. "What was that about?" Sookie asked.
" Uhm. Remember that time when I told you about that thing that happened when I was…sixteen?" Lorelai asked. Sookie nodded. " That was he." Lorelai emphasized the word "He".
" Whoa." Sookie breathed out. Lorelai nodded.
" Lorelai?" Rory asked in a tiny voice.
" Yeah Sweets?" She asked.
" What did you do?"
" Nothing Kiddo." Lorelai shook her head, and continued eating in silence. Sookie kept her eyes on Lorelai. Rory didn't know what was going on, but she knew something was wrong.
