Skip straight to part 2 to avoid the world's longest disclaimer/author's
note
**Disclaimer**
The concept of Gilmore Girls, Lorelai, Rory, Luke, Jess, Paris, Sookie, Lane, Dean, Emily, Taylor, Kirk, Mrs Kim, Miss Patty, etc and the improbably named town of Stars Hollow were all created by Amy-Sherman Palladino.
The quotes used as chapter titles also belong to various other people (except the first one, that's mine).
I don't even own the idea for this fic. I started writing it ages ago in response to a challenge on the Chilton Library site:
***
Write a story in which Lorelai drags Luke on a road trip, and they end up at the Pacific Ocean. The reason is up to you, but it has to be spur-of-the- moment. It has to take place sometime after The Bracebridge Dinner and include some scenes with Jess and Rory (not necessarily together) of what they do while Lorelai and Luke are gone. Also make it L/L, but don't have it be mushy, gushy, and corny.
Include the following too.
-Lorelai punching Luke
-Rory and Lorelai on the phone with Lorelai complaining about how boring Kansas is(no offense to those who live there)
-Luke cussing out the car when it breaks down in the middle of nowhere and ranting to Lorelai about coming on the trip
-a sunset over the ocean
Okay, to wrap it up. Make it about a PG-13 fic and I don't care who Rory is with. You don't even have to bring it up if you don't want to. Be creative and have fun!

**Apologies**
I have never been to the US and have no idea how long it takes to drive from state to state, so please excuse any tragic geographical errors. Put it down to creative licence.
Please also excuse the mixture of script format for phone calls and narrative for everything else and the kinda backwards way each chapter is written. Let me know if it's just too hard to deal with.
And excuse any other errors, for example, Luke's middle name, cos I'm not exactly research girl. In fact, I'm more, 'I know everything there is to know about a particular topic, so I'll spend library research lessons sleeping or sneaking off to join another class girl.' Then 'what do you mean we need at least 10 sources for this assignment?' No problem, no one checks if you just make it up.
**Setting**
Season 3, only: The whole Lorelai/Chris thing didn't happen at Sookie's wedding, there is no Shane, Jess and Rory are friendly, avoiding the kiss issue.
Now all that's out of the way....
