"Kitten, the sun is shining! I have already been to the pub today and I am ready for you to have your way with me!"

"Finn, what did I tell you about dirty comments? Anyway I have to talk to you," she finished talking with a solemn look.

"Whoa, serious face, okay let's talk," I agreed as I led her over to her couch. It was a painful silence in which I thought of a million things that she could be about to say. On the top of my list were things like she was breaking up with me or she was leaving me for a gardener (they are apparently very in). Lower on my list, but just a scary, was something like I had to visit the dentist. Then, taking me out of my nightmare, she spoke.

"Look, Finn, I know that we have only been dating for about a month but that's a long time for me. Usually, well not usually, I'm not a whore or anything, I have only had two boyfriends so I should say, the past two times I have had a boyfriend they have met my mom before our first date or at least on our first date. That is a different story though because Mom asked Dean over for a movie and I was going to kill her. Anyway, you haven't met my mom yet. That is s problem for her because as you know I am really close with my mom and I am sure she will like you but what if you don't like her? And I am going home this weekend for my Grandparents vow renewal and Mom wants you to come home with me, so I am not sure if you want to come or not and it is okay if you don't want to, but would you like to come home with me this weekend?" She looked at her hands the whole time and I thought she was going to keel over and die from lack of oxygen. Now, she was breathing heavy and she looked up to meet my gaze. I was going to laugh but then thought better of it.

"Of course I would like to go home with you kitten," I said as I pulled her into my lap and gave her a kiss.

"Really?" she said as she kissed me back, "I have to call Mom!" she got up off my lap and I groaned.

"Rory," I whined.

"Behave now and you might get rewarded later. But right at this moment be quiet and be still!" I grinned and sat completely still.

"Mom… Yeah he said he wants to come home with me… yeah he already agreed to the vow renewal…yes…no…mom that was dirty! Ha…yes I will see you on Friday…Good idea…Do you think Kirk ordered that yet? Well go check… I don't think Luke will be too happy about this…Do you want Luke to come on Friday…I agree he probably will hate it…plus Finn shouldn't have to deal with you and Luke on the same night…bye" she finished her conversation and her eyes were lit up. She always looks that way after talking to her mom.

Rory had spent many hours telling me stories about her mom but I have yet to meet her. She has told me all about Stars Hollow and the people in it. She told me about Luke and her mom. I know everything about her life. Well, not everything, but a lot. She had already asked me to be her date to her grandparents vow renewal. I asked her if I could wear a dress since she would be in a suit but she said no.

"Finn, you are zoning," Rory says bringing me out of my reverie. She is not facing me; she was looking in the fridge.

"No I wasn't, I was staring at your butt!" I said with a smirk. She blushed. I love making her blush when I talk about dirty things. It is so much fun. Colin and Logan say that I am whipped because Rory and I haven't slept together yet. But I disagree, I told her that she wasn't another conquest and that we would take the next step when she was ready. So far, she wasn't ready and I was fine with that.

"So do you have classes on Friday?" she asked sitting down next to me with her cup of coffee.

"No, do you?" I responded

"Nope, so I guess we should leave at about 4:00. We can take your car because it has enough room for all our bags." I just nodded my head, "Now, I have to go pick up my suit, so that means you need to go too," she gives me a quick kiss and pulls me up and points toward the door. We both walk outside her dorm.

"See you later Kitten! I love you," I say as we part ways.

"I am the best man!" she says with a smile.

*********************************************************************

"Are we there yet?"

"No, kitten, we are not there yet," I repeated the same answer for the sixth time.

"When are we going to get there?" she asked after about a minute.

"When did I say we would get there 5 minutes ago?"

"Twenty minutes"

"Then we will get there in fifteen minutes," I explained to her. I knew she was doing this to get back at me for being a pain in the ass last road trip.

Then she pulls out a CD and puts it in the player. She says, "This is where we are going," then she starts singing very loudly

"Gotta make a move to a
Town that's right for me
Town to keep me movin'
Keep me groovin' with some energy

Well, I talk about it
Talk about it
Talk about it
Talk about it

Gotta move on

Gotta move on

Won't you take me to
Funkytown

I just grin and bare it until she is done. 15 more minutes…

"Okay, I am done being a pain," she announces when we are five minutes from Stars Hollow.

"Why?" I ask looking suspiciously at her in the corner of my eye. I was driving so I had to be responsible because I didn't want to crash the car.

"It is time to crack down! Don't call my mom M'am or Miss. Gilmore. Call her Lorelei. Shake her hand and look her straight in the eye. Don't be formal or nervous she preys on that. If she knows you're scared you're screwed. She is really easy to get along with if you are yourself. She will probably make a dirty joke don't ignore it, laugh. That goes with all of her jokes; laugh at them if you see me laughing. If I don't laugh and you don't get it don't laugh. Be straightforward. If I am not in the room she will lay down the law and tell you off. Be very careful during that talk. Don't interrupt or lie. But I know you won't do that. Be smart and clever with the jokes you tell. Knock-knock-jokes are not allowed. Got it?" she tells me with a very serious face.

"Calm down baby, I don't have to take notes, it will all be fine," I smile at her. I can handle parents. Everything Rory said I knew. It was fine.

I repeated this in my head until we pulled up to her driveway. When we passed Monty, Rory squealed and started grinning. Then her smile melted off her face like ice cream in July.

"Oh shit, I didn't know Luke was going to be here," she says, "I guess you'll have to wing it."

Then I saw a tall brunette with a bright orange hat and a man with a green jacket and backwards baseball cap come out of the house and I started to get worried. Wait, what did Rory say? I couldn't remember anything except that if she knows I am scared then I am screwed. Calmly I got out of my Lexus SUV and got the bags out of the back. Lorelei came running down the steps screaming,

"Fruit of my loins"

"Woman who birthed me" Rory screamed back. They met half way and embraced and stood there for a good three minutes. I had already unloaded the bag and brought them up to where Rory was by the time they unhooked. I kept repeating in my head "If I'm scared I'm screwed, if I'm scared I'm screwed."

"Rory is this sexy exotic man yours or is this just the driver? Because back when I was young they didn't have drivers this yummy, if they did I would never have gotten my license," she said when she noticed me.

"Mom! This is Finn, Finn this is Lorelei Victoria Gilmore the Great," Rory said with an eye roll.

"Rory you forgot the first part," she said looking at Rory with a shame-on-you glare, then she turned to me, "Excuse her, I am Fairy Princess Lorelei Victoria Gilmore the Great, but you can call me Lorelei," she extended her hand and I took it.

"G'day Lorelei," I said laying on the Australian charm, "it is simply a pleasure to meet you," I finished. Then I took her hand and kissed it.

"Oh, honey, I sure did teach you how to pick a good one,"

"Well maybe you two can run off together and live happily ever after," Rory said sarcastically.

"Now why would we do that Kitten? Even though your mother is a great catch, we would never work," I assured Rory. But Lorelei took offense.

"Why is that?" She demanded dropping Rory's suitcase which she was dragging up the porch steps.

"If we ran off together then Rory would be crushed, therefore you, being her mother, would have to kill the people who made her feel this way, you would have to kill me and yourself. And that would be just too much tragedy," I say.

"YAY," Lorelei screams, "You pass the test. I officially approve."

Rory takes my hand and we walk up to the porch where Luke is standing. He looks at me with a glare.

"Hello Finn," he says extending his hand. I shake his hand and look him in the eye.

"Hello sir," I say. He stops shaking my hand and just holds it tightly in his hand. He glares at me.

"I remember what was going through my head when I called my girlfriends dad sir," he says. I think I actually started to shake. I honestly believe that I would have peed myself if Rory hadn't come to my rescue.

"But Luke, you aren't actually my dad so he can't be thinking the same thing,"

"Actually I can," I looked at Luke and he glared.

"Oh Snap! Rory, Finn is thinking dirty things about you," Lorelei says.

"No, I know Luke would never think such things of a lady. So he was thinking the same thing I am when meeting the dad. How much I dearly love my girlfriend and how I would never do anything to hurt her and then how scared I am that her Dad won't like me," I finish and Luke smiles at me and releases my hand. He claps me on the back.

"Rory, he's got my approval too," he says, "I have to get back to the diner."

"Bye Lukey!" Lorelei and Rory both say. He frowns and leaves.

"So Finn, darling, where have you been all my daughter's life," Lorelei says dramatically. We walk into the house and go into the kitchen.

"Wherever I was I wish I could have been here," I declare as I kiss Rory sweetly.

"Aw, gross! While you two are being all touchy feely nasty lovey-dovey I will upstairs taking a shower. It will be up very loud so I won't hear anything that's going on down here."

"Mom, you exhaust me," Rory says while pushing me into a little room off the kitchen.

"I bet Finn does the same," Lorelei says as she walks over to stairs.

Rory closes the door and I can tell that this is her bedroom. To be more exact it is a Library with a bed. She walks over to me and kisses me. I brake away.

"You take your moms suggestions seriously don't you?" I ask.

"Oh shut-up," She says as she opens her suit case. She starts to unpack and I just lay on her bed flipping through a "People" magazine.

********************************************************************

Eventually when both women were ready we headed over to Luke's Diner for the much needed nourishment. When we entered the hardware store I soon realized that nothing in Stars Hollow is what it seems. The Hardware store was really a Diner. Imagine that. We walked up to a table and Luke came over.

"Hand over the Coffee and no one gets hurt," Lorelei said holding up her index finger and thumb making it look like a gun.

"Please wound me just enough that I won't have to go to your thing tomorrow," Luke asked Lorelei while pouring all three of them coffee.

"Nope. You will have to resort to begging in this case," Lorelei answered him while sipping her coffee.

"Fine," Luke said giving up, "I'm guessing the usual for you two, and what would you like Finn?"

Rory answered for me, "He will have the same as us,"

"Sounds good to me," I answered with a smile at Rory.

"Seriously guys you make me sick," Lorelei said as Luke walked behind the counter, "You make Tom cruise jumping up and down on Oprah's show seem rational."

"Your mom," Rory said sticking out her tongue.

"What about my mom. Is she here, did she call? Does she want me to wear an ugly dress tomorrow? Because I thought we talked about this," Lorelei asked panicked.

"Calm down, I was joking," Rory said while laughing her head off.

"Not cool. You are officially disowned," Lorelei says pouting, "Finny dear, can you be my new son?"

"Anything for you Lorelei," I tell her trying to hold back my laughter at the famous Gilmore duo.

"Now that is what I like to hear! If only Luke would say that instead of things like 'Red meat will kill you' it just isn't the same," Lorelei says.

"No Kirk, I won't baby-sit your Mother," Luke yells across the Diner.

"But Luke, Lulu and I are going out of town for a weekend and someone has to give mother her pills!" a funny looking man says. I assume that he is Kirk. Rory told me all about Kirk, many stories about Cat-Kirk, the alarm system, and all of his jobs.

"How many languages can you say No in?"

"Well one, but I heard somewhere that no in Spanish is no so really two languages," Kirk says after giving it a bit of thought.

"Kirk…" Starts Luke, but Lorelei cuts him off.

"Kirk, honey, why don't you go ask Taylor? Maybe those two would hit it off? You could have a new Daddy," she offers.

"Great idea Lorelei," he grins at Luke and then runs out the door, "HEY TAYLOR…"

"You are evil," Rory says shaking her head.

"Three Burgers with extra cheese, no lettuce or tomato, and French fries," Luke announces while setting our food down.

Both Girls bite into their burgers and they both close their eyes and sigh. They chew, swallow and open their eyes again at the exact same time.

"Whoa, you two are exactly the same,"

"She is my mini-me," Lorelei says smiling at Rory.

I could see that I had some competition at Rory's undivided love attention. This was the biggest Mom-child bond I have ever seen.

************************************************************************

"Tonight we will embark on a life experience no one should miss," Lorelei starts dramatically. After the diner, Rory gave me a quick tour and then we got supplies for a movie night. We had mountains of junk food on the table and a pizza had been delivered, "Tonight for your viewing pleasure we will be showing the one, the only, HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL!"

"Aw mom! How many times have you watched this since it came out on DVD?" Rory asks.

"Like a million. But anyway I finally know all the words to bop to the Top," She says excitedly, "And I know all of the dance moves. Finn you will finally get to see me shake my groove thing."

"Mother! You did not just say that! Good grief. I will only agree to watch it if and only if you let us have all fun-making rights!" Rory says.

You could see Lorelei pondering over this, "Will I still get to make fun of it too?"

"Fine,"

"…okay" she reluctantly agrees.

"YES! Finn you and I will take the couch while the woman I call my mother can take the chair," Rory says triumphantly.

"If I get the chair then I get the remote!"

"All right,"

"Beware Finn; I replay the part where Zac/Troy takes his shirt off,"

"Oh joy!" I say sarcastically moving onto the couch where Rory is sitting in her Pajamas. I sit and Rory leans on me as the Musical experience starts.

Just as promised she rewound the part where Zac Efron takes his shirt off 11 times before Rory tackled her mother and stole the remote. Lorelei tried to dance to "Bop to the Top" but she tripped over a magazine and fell onto the coffee table. She broke her nail and vowed to never bop again.

When the movie was over and I had consumed enough food to feed a small country Rory got up and went to go take a shower. I was cleaning up the popcorn when Lorelei called my name.

"Now listen here Finn," she started turning to face me, "I love Rory, Luke loves Rory, this whole town loves Rory. If you hurt her I will kill you. Then Luke will bring you back and kill you again. And trust me everyone else in this town will help. Yes, I know you love her and I believe that so I trust you. I like you more than Dean or Jess which is a good sign. I know that she loves you and I trust her judgment. So you have my trust for now, but I am watching you," she finishes.

"Okay. Sounds good to me," I say looking her straight in the eye, "Now I am going to go to bed. When Rory gets out of the shower can you tell her that I'm in the bedroom?"

"Sure, goodnight Finn,"

I walked to her bedroom and got changed. I thought about what Lorelei told me. I wasn't frightened by her at all. I know that I am in love Rory and would never hurt her on purpose. I'm in for the long haul. I really love this girl and I hope she feels the same way.

I crawled into bed. After awhile Rory came in and crawled in next to me. I wrapped my arms around her and she fell asleep. I know that this is where I want to be, with Rory in my arms. I feel asleep with her steady breathing as my lullaby.

A/N: Hope you liked it. I am not sure if High School musical came out before the 5th season of Gilmore Girls but if it didn't let's just pretend it did. Please review and tell me if I did a good job on writing Lorelei's character. The next chapter is my take on Wedding Bell Blues. What stays the same? What changes? Read and find out!!!
