"No. No. No! A thousand times: No!"

"But honey—"

"You are not taking our daughter to a bar." Celia said sternly.

"My dad did since I was younger than Lorelai's age." Rooster defended.

Celia looked at him for a moment before caving in. She could never say no to him for long. "Fine, alright. But never take your eyes off of her."

Rooster nodded vigorously. "I promise."

He rushed to their daughter's bedroom, happily yelling, "Little hen we're going to go meet some of daddy's friends!"

=====

Phoenix stood by the pool table, anxiously waiting to see Rooster and Bali's daughter. She hadn't seen her since Lorelai was 7 months old.

Hangman calmly sipped his drink, but was secretly freaking out inside. Payback and Fanboy had dragged him into this get-together reunion.

Soon enough, Rooster walked in the bar wearing his signature sunglasses, and a small toddler was in his arms sporting a matching pair.

"There's the Rooster and his little chick." Bob said when he spotted them.

"Lorelai!" Phoenix shot out of her seat and held out her arms. Lorelai reached out to her Aunt Nat, making Rooster hand her over. "I've missed you little hen."

The toddler just wrapped her arms around her aunt's neck and laid her head.

Rooster took off his sunglasses and greeted everyone. "Its great to see you all. Hangman, you look good."

"Oh, I'm very good Rooster." Hangman smirked. "How're you and Bali? You're not giving her trouble are you?"

"Never been happier." Rooster smiled.

Like always, they ended up at the piano. Lorelai sat on top of the piano as her dad played 'Great Balls of Fire'.

She knew all the lyrics by now, considering all the times he's played it at home with her mom.

"You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain!" Everyone sang and danced and smiled. "Too much love drives a man insane.

You broke my will,
oh what a thrill.

Goodness gracious, great balls of fire!"
