alright,
Part IX:
The next few days, indeed were hard work. Many things needed to be done. But somehow it helped Lorelai. Although she missed him madly, she didn’t return to Luke’s.
"It was his wish", she thought, "I have to respect that."
Finally the day arrived. It was a Sunday. Lorelai hardly slept that night, consequently she was glad, as the morning arrived.
The night had been horrible. First she couldn’t fall to sleep, thinking about Luke, how he would react, whether the work would be worth it’s price, with Chris still bugging her and Luke.
When she finally fell asleep, nightmares were haunting her. A Rory, who moved away to her dad, because she hated her mother. A Emily, who tried to get rid of Lorelai’s baby. And the worst of all, a Luke, who grimly tried to explain, that he was in love with a woman, who was a lawyer.
As Lorelai awaked, she really was happy, that she was lying in her bed. She deeply breathed.
"Don’t be stupid", she told herself, "Rory loves me, Mom doesn’t even know about anything and Luke’s not in love with someone else....At least I hope so."
Again, she breathed deep and slow. She could smell it. She got up and walked through her bedroom to open her window. It was freezing. But nevertheless, Lorelai inevitable had to smile.
"I smell snow!"
And indeed, as she looked closer, she saw it, slowly coming down to earth.
Immediately, she dressed and got out onto the patio. She felt magic was happening. She felt like she was eight again, trying to catch the snowflakes with her hands and with her mouth. She felt as good as she didn’t do a long time.
A voice from behind, startled her.
"Mom, for heaven’s sake, come in here. It’s freezing. And it’s 7o’clock in the morning. Come on in", Rory, just dressed in her robe, cried out. She really looked frozen.
"Alright, coming. But tell me something. Are you moving away?", Lorelai asked, suddenly remembering her dream.
"Huh? Why? I never would. What’s that question?", a confused Rory replied.
"Ah, just forget about it. I was just checking."
As Lorelai entered the kitchen, Rory already sat at the table and drank a cup of coffee.
"Want one?", she asked roguish.
"I hate you very much", Lorelai replied. She sat down, too, and said to her daughter:
"Alright, so tell me. How will it work today."
"Again?", Rory looked nifty, "I already told you a hundred-thousand times. It doesn’t change", Rory argued.
But her mother looked at her like a little dog puppy.
"Okay, okay. Babette and Patty will go to Luke’s. Just like normal. They will hand him the tape. And then we just have to wait. It’s in Luke’s hands then, what to do."
"Mhm", Lorelai simply said.
She already was deep in thoughts again.
Rory decided to shut up. She, too, was very nervous. She really wanted her mom to be happy. She couldn’t imagine the worst case. What if Luke says ‘No’? It would be the end of the world, to her mother and to her. She didn’t dare to think further.
"It just has to be", she thought.
That morning was the longest in the history of the Gilmore girls household. Rory tried to focus on her schoolwork. Without an effect. She tried to read the biography of Hillary Clinton. Effectless.
But her state of nerves was nothing in comparison to Lorelai’s. First she sorted her catalogues. Effectless. Then she cleaned up the living-room. Effectless. The she even tried to cook – A bad idea. She realized that, as the chicken smelled burned.
Finally, they gave it up. It was 12 o’clock. In half an hour they would meet with the other three. Slowly they dressed and walked through the streets of Stars Hollow. As they arrived at the gazebo, Miss Patty, Babette and a sleepy-looking Dean awaited them.
"Hey Dean! What’s up with you?", Rory asked concerned, while kissing him.
"I’m fine. I just didn’t sleep. There were a whole lotta problems with the tape. But everything’s fine now. I worked it out.", Dean replied.
"You’re my hero", Lorelai joked relieved.
"Okay guys, let’s do this", Patty stated, picked up the videotape and took Babette by the hands.
"We’ll go. All that you can do, is hope", Babette said, "But I’m positive."
With these words, she first hugged Rory, then Lorelai. She and Patty walked out the gazebo, straight to Luke’s, leaving three uncomfortable shifting human beings behind.
"Please, God, help me", Lorelai thought, "Otherwise I can’t stand it."
Meanwhile, Babette and Patty entered Luke’s. The diner owner was busy taking orders. He still looked pale and unhealthy, like he hadn’t eaten for days. His mood was worse than usual.
"Uh, oh. I hope this is gonna work", Patty whispered to Babette, who just nodded.
Finally Luke approached to them.
"What can I get you?", he asked absent.
"Erm, two cups of coffee, please", Patty said, "And I wonder, if you could do us a favor?"
"What is it? I don’t have much time right now", Luke answered reticent.
"Uhm, well, we had the task to made a film about Stars Hollow. You know, sights, sports, Inns, diners and stuff", Patty began, "And now we have to show it everybody, who’s involved in it. You know, to get their permissions. You’re one of them."
"Why you’d make such a tape?", Luke asked scepticly.
"Because there’s a series about little towns in Conneticut. And you know Taylor", Patty rolled with her eyes, "He really wanted Stars Hollow in there."
Luke sighed.
"Okay, I’ll watch it in the next days."
"No, no, Luke, honey. You have to watch it today. Actually we’re running out of time", Babette pushed.
"Today? Alright, tonight then, after I closed the diner", Luke said, too, rolling with his eyes.
"Erm, Luke? This would be too late. I’m sorry, but couldn’t you watch it very soon? Like now?", Patty said, really looking sorry.
"But the place is packed. It’s lunchtime", Luke argued halfhearted. He knew, he wouldn’t have a chance, challenging Patty and Babette.
"Cesar’s here. Come on, watch it. It won’t take much time", Patty encouraged him.
"Okay, okay, okay. I’ll go."
Luke took the tape and shouted: "Cesar! I’m upstairs, if you need me. I’m coming back as soon as possible!"
"Okay, boss.", Cesar politely responded.
Luke went upstairs. Babette and Patty were satisfied. They both looked in direction of the gazebo. Lorelai, Rory and Dean had been following the actions. They were relieved as Luke disappeared upstairs.
At that moment, Patty gave a thumbs-up. It was the last thing, the three saw, standing in the gazebo. The snowfall had become thicker. It was more like a storm now.
In the meantime, Luke put the tape into his video-player, switched his TV on and sat down in his comfy armchair.
"Why am I doing this? It’s just crab. Damn it, Taylor", he said out loud. But nevertheless he pushed the play-button.
What was following now, was against all expectations. Luke had expected a sign or something else, announcing Stars Hollow.
But instead there was....
