maisfeekaRory woke up with a start and stared around the room to make sure she was actually in her own room at home. That had been weird. That had been weird on the girl-needs-her-best-friend/mom-to-talk-to scale of weird. "Mom!"
It didn't take Lorelai more than a minute to be in Rory's doorway, though judging from the yawn and the way the doorway seemed to be holding her up, she hadn't been awake long. "You shouted?" she asked. "You really early in the morning shouted? This must be good."
"I dated Darth Vader," Rory blurted out.
Lorelai tipped her head to one side and blinked, which for that hour of the morning was pretty expressive. She pushed off from the doorway and came to sit on the edge of Rory's bed, one hand reaching out to do the Mom forehead-checking thing. "No fever," she said wonderingly, "so you're probably not hallucinating."
"Mo-om… of course I'm not hallucinating. It was a dream. A really crazy dream."
"A dream in which you were dating Darth Vader." Lorelai stood up again. "Hang on. This clearly requires coffee. I'll be right back."
She disappeared to the kitchen and, true to her word, was back in a very short period of time. She handed Rory a mug and nudged her over so she could sit more comfortably on the bed with her. "So… you dated…" Her hand shaped the helmet and she did a passably fair imitation of the harsh breathing.
Rory made a face. "Well, actually I dated him when he was still the Hayden Christensen-Anakin version. Before the whole transformation into Vader. Though," she said thoughtfully, "I did meet that version later and… well, it was pretty ugly. He was teaching Ethics of all things."
"Darth Vader teaching Ethics? Here? After you dated his earlier and much hotter self?" Lorelai took a sip of her coffee. "You're right. That definitely qualifies for early morning shouting. You are hereby forgiven."
"Thanks," Rory said, warming her hands on her own mug. "But it wasn't here. It was on this weird magical island where people from all sorts of movies and books and, okay, this is particularly weird, even comics, came to go to high school together. And you were a teacher there, too. And you were married to Luke."
Lorelai blinked at her again. "I taught high school? And I was married to…" She shook her head. "I have no words. You have rendered me speechless. Go on."
"And you had another kid, a son, last year on the 4th of July."
"Who I, of course, named Kal-el," Lorelai replied smartly.
"No, Bucky," Rory replied. "Although Clark Kent was on the island, too. He ran the hotel."
"Of course he did. And where exactly was this island? Area 51?"
"No…" Rory said thoughtfully. "It was not that far from Alexandria, Virginia. Though there were aliens there, too."
"Hello. Anakin and Darth Vader and Superman."
"Not just them. There was Captain Jack from Doctor Who -"
"Totally hot."
"And, um, some Power Rangers."
Lorelai made a face. "Power Rangers? You've got to be kidding me."
"Yeah, well," Rory dropped her head a little. "I kind of was dating one of those, too."
"It was the spandex, wasn't it?" Lorelai shook her head. "Just don't tell your grandmother."
Rory rolled her eyes at her. "Thanks for being so understanding. Just for that I won't tell you about the zombies or the snowman invasion or the jello dragons."
"Oh yes, you will," Lorelai said firmly. "Neither one of us is going anywhere till I hear the whole dream - with particular emphasis on the really hot men. And the jello dragons. Those sound far too intriguing to pass up. But first I'm going to retrieve the rest of the pizza - purely for sustenance."
"I thought neither of us were going anywhere," Rory said as Lorelai headed to the door.
"Everyone knows that food runs do not count as going anywhere. And behave or I won't bring you in the leftover Chinese." She waggled her finger in Rory's direction and headed back to the kitchen.
"If you don't, I'll completely forget to tell you about Angel. Yes, that Angel." She grinned at her mother's shriek from the kitchen and leaned back to wait for the food.

This now makes me want the sequel where Emily Gilmore finds out about this.
Spazzy Lorelai is cracking me up. "Special emphasis on the really hot men." HEE!
