New Beginnings

Act 2 ch 4

"No music, I can't believe we forgot to bring tunes" Lorelai complains as they drive to their unknown destination.

"Do you realize that none of us have the vaguest idea where we are?" Rory asks looking as a map. "What is a road trip without tunes?" Victoria asks going off her mothers earlier statement.

"The sun is directly behind us" Rory notices. "Never been in this car for any extended periods of time without playing AC/DC" Lorelai says. "But I have no idea which way it's going" Rory keeps looking at the sun.

"I need my Highway To Hell" Victoria complains.

"It's right out the windshield there" Rory says. "Nothing on the radio but top 40 and Christian rock" Lorelai complains.

"Christian rock, there's an oxymoron for you" Victoria says turning to her sister. "I need my tunes" Lorelai says. "Stop complaining about the tunes" Rory tells them.

"Stop complains about our whereabouts" Victoria replies.

"Well my complaint is legitimate, yours is infantile" Rory defends herself. "Okay you're right" Lorelai says turning on the radio.

"Oh, yes country music. Must be my lucky day" Victoria says only for Rory to turn the radio off. "We have to figure out where we're going" Rory insists. "No we don't" Lorelai replies.

"Mom" Rory says.

"The point of this is to be spontaneous, to drive and land someplace we've never been and never expected to be" Lorelai explains. "Sounds risky" Rory says.

"Sounds exciting" Victoria corrects her. "Serendipity has never been kind to us" Rory says. "Ah yes, but I talked to serendipity on the phone last night. She feels bad about how she's treated us in the past" Lorelai tells her.

"We had a nice chat, it's all gonna be different now" she continues.

"What did that sign say? It said don't or death on it" Rory says freaking out. "Relax" Victoria tells her.

"We're doomed" Rory groans. "Wrong, we're being guided by fate" Lorelai corrects her. "I think we're lost" Rory says.

"We can't be lost, we don't know where we're going" Victoria laughs.

"You're going to stop before we drive into the Atlantic ocean" Rory tells her mother. "I'll try" she replies.

"At least we'll know where we are" Rory says. "Unless it's the Pacific" Victoria jokes. Lorelai turns the radio back on.

"Coming up, a three song superset from Hootie And The Blowfish" the guy on the radio says causing all three girls to groan.

"You know what? I love road food" Victoria tells her mother and sister.

"I love it too" Rory agrees. "What could be better than what they serve at Haden's Nut House?" Lorelai asks.

"Unless you don't like nuts" Victoria says. "As is those people exist" Lorelai gasps. "You know if I was in a rock band touring and stuff, I would make the bus driver stop at every Haden's Nut House we house" Victoria tells them.

"Wow, your behind the music is going to be really wild" Rory jokes.

"Hello there" a lady says when the girls walk into a bed and breakfast.

"Hi" Lorelai says. "Would you like to ring the bell?" the lady asks.

"What?" Lorelai asks. "Would you like to ring the bell, you or one of your daughters?" the lady asks again. "I don't understand" Lorelai says.

"I'm not usually sitting here when guests arrive so people ring the bell and they love to ring the bell and you didn't get to ring the bell" the lady explains.
