Chapter 7: Beastie Boys, Pizza, 'Lucas' Part 2

SEPTEMBER 1992

Saturday 9pm

Luke was sitting on the couch watching the highlights of a baseball game while the two kids were sitting on Jess's bed reading a book together. Luke looked at the time and saw it was already nine. He got up and walked towards the kids.

'Alright guys, it's time for bed.' Luke said while getting the inflatable bed out of the storage closet and ready to set it on the floor.

' But Uncle Luke! It's only nine on a Saturday!' Jess whined. While Rory who promised her mom to listen to Luke went to grab her pyjamas from her backpack and head to the washroom to change.

'We have a big day tomorrow, we're going to get out of the house by 6am. So it's time for bed.' Luke insisted, putting on bedsheets and pillows. Jess pouted a little, but knew better than to argue with Luke. He got up and took his shirt off and hopped on to the inflatable bed, ready to slip into the blanket.

'Hey, hey hey! Go brush your teeth first and don't sleep in just your underwear tonight. Put something on.' Said Luke while pulling Jess back out of the bed and found a t-shirt and shorts for him.

'But why?' Jess asked while putting on the shirt and then shorts. 'because Rory is here.' Luke replied. Rory changed into her pyjamas and brushed her teeth.

' I thought I am gonna sleep on the extra bed.' Rory asked.

'No, Jess will sleep on that mattress, you can sleep on Jess's bed, it's way more comfortable.' Luke assured while Rory hopped on to the bed and Luke tucked her in.

'Thank you Luke.' Rory smiled, while hugging to her stuffed bunny, Ben-Ben.

'You're welcome.' Luke smiled while giving her a kiss on her forehead. Meanwhile, Jess ran out of the bathroom, jumped and landed on his bed.

' Jess, you've been in there for like 10 seconds, did you even brush your teeth?' Luke asked questionably. Jess looked at him with his innocent eyes, 'of course I did! I'm not a caveman, uncle Luke.'

'Alright, goodnight you two.' Said Luke who was ready to switch off the lamp next to Jess's bed.

'Wait, Luke can you tell us a bedtime story, please? Mom always tells me a story before I fall asleep.' Said Rory with her pleading eyes. It's the same exact crystal clear blue eyes of Lorelai that Luke fell in love with, how could he say no.

He sighed, ' Alright, which book do you want me to read?' looking over at Jess's little bookshelf that he and Jess worked on 2 weeks ago.

' I've read all those by myself already, Uncle Luke.' Said Jess while tossing a baseball up and down with his baseball gloves on the bed.

'How bout tell us a story when you were our age, Luke?' Rory suggested.

Luke scratched his head, he removed his baseball cap by that time, as he wanted to go to bed early as well.

'Um..uh sure.' Then he sat on the end of the bed where Rory was now lying down. Jess grabbed his little lion stuffed toy Ozzy. It was his only stuffed toy his mother had brought him since he was 2 years old and jumped on to Rory's bed. Lion is his all time favourite animal because of The Wizard of Oz. He grabbed the lion and smashed it on to Rory's Ben-Ben playfully, and made roaring sound as well.

'Hey! Don't attack Ben-Ben!' Rory complained while hugging her toy even tighter now. Luke gave Jess a ' you better stop now' look. Jess then sat properly on the bed and played with Ozzy while Luke was trying to get his story out.

' So when I was 8 years old, all the kids in town were talking about the new water park section added to the amusement park which was 2 hours from here. Every kid wanted to try out that longest water slide, including me. So everyday after school, I go to my dad's hardware store and told him how amazing this slide would be and begged him to bring me and Liz to go.'

Jess asked who stopped playing with his toy and focused on the story, 'Did grandpa William say yes?'

'We'll get to that part in a sec.' answered Luke before continuing, ' grandpa William was a very stern and serious person, he said no. Because it's 2 hours from here and he said the tickets for admission were raised just because of the water park, to him, it was a rip off.'

Rory and Jess gave Luke a sympathetic look, they know how it feels when adults crush their dreams. Luke continued, ' I wanted to change his mind, I worked at the hardware store every single day after school, helped my mother with household chores until my dad finally said, 'Alright, Lucas and Liz, we're going to the water park on Sunday.' We were so happy, we couldn't sleep the night before Sunday arrives.'

'Grandpa William sounds and acts like you.' Jess chuckled.

'but he's way stricter than me, Jess. You would have gotten so many hidings already if you're under his care.' Luke replied with a bittersweet smile on his face, as he suddenly had flashback of his dad giving him a smack for the littlest mistake like bringing him the wrong tool or serious hiding when he got into trouble at school. He still misses him after all these years, his father was his role model, he looked up to him so much when he was young.

'Anyway, so we went to the park and we lined up for that long slide for at least half an hour.'

'There was no fast pass?' asked Rory, when she and Lorelai went to Disneyland 2 years ago, she remembered there were fast pass.

'Nope, it was back in the days, they haven't invented fast pass yet.' Luke answered, 'So finally, Liz and I was on top of the slide, grandpa William was standing beside the pool holding his camera, wanting to capture us splashed into the water. He was into photography for a period of time.'

'Your mom was a little scared that time, she told me I should go first, so I went.' Luke chuckled a little and shook his head before he continued, ' I was having the time of my life until my trunks were off the moment I splashed and got off the slide.'

Jess was laughing like a maniac, 'And grandpa William captured you naked! Haha Uncle Luke! HA-HA!'

Rory on the other hand, felt sorry for Luke, ' that must have been very embarrassing for you, Luke.'

'It was, fortunately my trunks did not float far away from me, so I quickly grabbed it and put it on and ran out of the pool with a small crowd who witnessed it and was laughing.'

'So where's the picture now?' Jess asked with an evil smirk on his face.

' Somewhere you'll never find.' Luke replied his nephew.

'One day, I'll find it.' Jess confidently stated.

'Thank you Luke, that was a very nice story. I like it when you tell stories about yourself when you were a little kid.' Said Rory before yawning.

'You're welcome, Rory. Now go to bed, we have a big day tomorrow.' Giving Rory a hug while Jess jumped off the bed and hopped on to the mattress. Luke tucked Jess in before switching off the lamp and saying good night to the 2 kids.

Sunday 5am

Jess and Rory surprisingly got up earlier than Luke, perhaps they were just so excited about the day. Jess woke up and heard something. He ran to the window.

'Oh no! Rory, see it's raining!' Jess exclaimed, then proceed to Luke's bed and put his two small hands on to his still asleep Uncle's cheeks and sat on his stomache, 'Uncle Luke! Uncle Luke! Wake up! It's raining! How are we supposed to go fishing while it's raining!'

'Jess calm down!' Luke said grumpily in his just woke up voice. ' Then we'll go to the aquarium instead, it's okay, kid!'

'Okay.' Jess let out a sigh of relief and slid off of Luke's stomach and went to the bathroom.

'Jess!' yelled Luke while spamming his forehand with one hand. 'Close the door while you pee, Rory is here!'

'Oh right! I forgot.' Jess said loudly in case his Uncle didn't hear. ' but I'm kind of already peeing, can you please close the door for me?'

Luke let out a sigh, and walked to closed the door for Jess. Then he walked towards Jess part of the room, 'Good morning Rory. Did you sleep well?'

Rory was reading one of Jess's books, sitting up on the bed. 'Good morning Luke, I did! Thank you for asking.' Rory replied Luke with a smile. She's always very polite to everyone.

'That's good. I'm gonna make breakfast for you guys, chocolate chip pancakes and fresh orange juice sounds good?' asked Luke.

'Anything that's made by you, is good. Thank you.' Rory replied again with her sweet little darling smile before going back to the book.

'but I don't want chocolate chip pancakes!' Jess protested who just got out of the bathroom, 'You made that yesterday and the day before!'

'Hey!' Luke growled, 'be grateful here, Jess. Not everyone has an excellent chef as an Uncle.'

Jess sighed, he loves Luke's chocolate chip pancakes so much, he could eat it everyday, he was just testing whether Luke would give in. He now realized, unless he's Rory, Luke would not care about his complain or request at all. He sighed again, 'Fine, fine fine…'

Luke got dressed and went downstairs, made breakfast while the two kids got dressed and was now playing some games only they know. After Luke finished cooking, he brought the breakfast upstairs and had the kids set the table.

'Chocolate chip pancakes for Rory.' Luke said while placing the dish in front of Rory. 'Thank you, Luke. This looks great!' Rory replied.

'And here you go Jess.' Said Luke while placing the plate in front of Jess.

Jess looked at the plate of his favourite ham and cheese omelette with a little ketchup on top and two slice of bacon just the way he likes it and asked, ' How did you know, I wanted this?'

Luke sat down, and replied with his signature half smile before he starts on his plate, ' Cause I know.'

Jess was very happy and grateful, he always thought Luke loves Rory more, now he knows, Luke loves him as much as Rory. He smiled and said softly, 'Thank you, Uncle Luke.'

Luke ruffled the boy's hair before talking, 'You're very welcome, Jess. But next time, I don't want to hear you whining like that. I yelled at you just now, not because you were complaining. It was the way you say it. If you changed your attitude to something like, ' Uncle Luke, I like pancakes, but I really want to have omelette today, can I please?' then I would gladly make you omelette. Always remember your 'please and thank you' ok?'

Jess looked at his uncle and nodded as he remember he should swallow his food first before speaking. He then swallowed his food and replied, ' Okay, I will remember my 'please and thank you' from now on.'

'good boy.' Luke said with a smile, looking at his nephew.

Sunday 9am

After an hour and a half drive, the three arrived at the aquarium. The two kids hopped off Luke's truck and ran to the ticket booth while Luke was locking the car door. It was quite a long line up at the aquarium as it was Sunday. Rory and Jess were reading the price chart above of the counter while Luke was upfront and talking to the booth guy.

'One adult and two kids tickets please.' Said Luke.

Jess immediately stopped Luke, 'daddy why aren't we getting the family package?'

Luke couldn't process, what daddy? He thought to himself. Jess was winking at him secretly.

Rory added, 'Yea daddy, get the family package, we're a family, and you get 2 free ice-cream for the family package!'

'And you save almost 10 dollars on tickets too, dad!' Jess continued.

Luke was still confused and shock about the word, 'daddy' but he proceeded. 'Um, sorry, we'll get the family package instead.'

'Sorry sir, Im afraid you can't get the family package as it's for 2 adults and 2 kids.'

'Oh.' Luke replied, not knowing how to reply.

'Excuse me! How dare you say that booth guy! Our mom just passed away a month ago, and my dad worked very hard to save the money for my sister and I to be here. All he wanted to was make us happy again!' Jess shouted at the booth guy.

Rory played along, she forced tears rolling down her face and hugged Luke's leg, ' daddy I don't like this man, he doesn't let us in because mommy is not here… daddy..make mommy be here please!' Luke and Jess were both surprised how Rory could be sobbing in no second.

'You happy now, booth guy? You made my sister cry! You're a jerk!' Jess added, acting all angry.

'I'm.. I'm so sorry, I'll..here, here family package for free, I used my last staff free tickets quota. I'm really sorry kid. And little girl, please don't cry, here take this coupon, you'll get 2 free ice cream.'

Jess was now looking down the ground, trying to hide his cunning smile from the booth guy. Luke was just standing there, digesting all of these, how did these two little 8 years old know their way to do such things, he wondered. Rory wiped the tears away from her cheeks and took the tickets, and said, 'thank you booth guy.'

The three walked to the entrance waiting in line for their tickets to be checked, 'Save your thank you for later Uncle Luke.' Said Jess with a cocky smile on his face while patting Luke's arm.

Luke shook his head with a chuckle, 'you two little punks!'

Jess stuck his tongue out and Rory just giggled. 'that was quite an act you two pulled, but next time, do not use your mom passed away trick okay? Have a little respect for your mothers, alright?' Luke lectured the two cheeky kids while holding each one with one of his hands and walked inside to the first area of the aquarium.

'We won't do that again, Luke.' Rory assured Luke.

'Good girl. Now let's get going!' said Luke who patted the two kids on their back and the three walked their way into the aquarium.
