I don't own Gilmore Girls. And so on…

Luke thought it was going to be just another pointless damn day, but his opinion quickly changed when a beautiful woman rushed in. Pushing other customers aside she plopped herself in front of Luke and whined,

"Coffee, I need coffee now pleeeeeease."

"Lady, wait your turn." Luke replied barely looking up.

"Please, please, please, you are the only one that can save me" she pleaded with a hint of humor.

"Damn it, lady you are getting on my nerves" Luke replied while pouring coffee to one of his paying customer.

"You know why I need coffee, I'll tell you why. Every morning I wake up and if there is one thing I need most it's my precious coffee. Coffee is what makes the whole world go 'round. And when I don't have my coffee the world just stops, and nobody notices but me…" she kept talking. Luke had no idea what the hell she was talking about, so he turned to her and said

"Lady you are being annoying, so sit down, shut up, I'll get to you when I get to you."

"What's your birthday?" she asked

"My birthday?" he asked with a quizzical look on his face. Teasing him she replied,

"Yes dummy your birthday. It's when you were born. You know when your mom was in the hospital, and screaming at your dad how she should never married him. And how you were pushing your way through her 'you know what.' That is the day you were born." She had no idea that she lost Luke after her first sentence. Wanting to shut her up he told her his birthday.

"Hmm… Scorpio…" She thoughtfully said out loud while taking a newspaper and opening it to the horoscope page. She paused, then reached into her purse, snatched a pen, and with concentration on her face wrote something down. Oh great thought Luke it's going to be an advise column or something. After careful inspection, she tore it out and handed to him.

Luke looked at the piece of paper under Scorpio and read it to himself –you will meet an annoying woman today. Give her coffee and she'll go away --. So he gave her coffee.

While retreating to a seat she turned to him and with mock seriousness said,

"Hold on to that horoscope mister, frame it in your wallet, and carry it around with you and one day it will bring you luck."

Feeling very satisfied she sat at a nearby table, sipping hot, fresh coffee. Few minutes later she heard a door open, and seeing who it was she grumbled,

"Here comes Old Man River." Luke chuckled glad someone else didn't like Taylor.

"I will disregard your comment Lorelai." With authority in his voice Taylor replied. Pretty name Luke thought.

"What do you want Taylor?" Luke demanded.

"I'm glad you asked-" Taylor began, but was interrupted by Lorelai. Trying to keep her voice low she said,

"Great, now I know who opened the Pandora's Box." Shooting Lorelai a disappointed look Taylor continued,

"Well, tomorrow our town is having our very first "open house" at Stars Hollow Middle School, and we were hoping if you would cater for free."

"Let me get this damn straight, you want me to make lots of food for some stupid kids who have no respect for adults for FREE?" Luke sputtered angrily.

Shaking his head Taylor demanded "Where is your spirit Luke? This is your town. You need to set a good example for other townies."

"Okay Taylor. You know what example I will set for all? That you should never give away free food." replied Luke.

"I'm VERY disappointed in you Luke." Taylor sadly replied

"Well Taylor you could just go to hell." said Luke

"You know Taylor," piped in Lorelai "Sookie would gladly do it." Beaming Taylor replied,

"That would be grand of you Lorelai."

"Great," replied Luke and turning to Lorelai he said, "You made the boogieman happy. I hope you can live with that."

"Of course she can Luke, Lorelai's daughter Rory goes there. In fact, Lorelai is the room mom." Taylor proudly piped in. Great thought Luke I probably offended her. There goes our 'I hate Taylor Club.' Chuckling Lorelai said,

"Don't worry Luke; I can still be eligible for our secret club." Alarmed Luke stared at her playful expression. Did he say it aloud? Giving Luke a smirk, Lorelai walked out of Luke's.
