It Might Be Fun Chapter 1 titled "Gut Feeling"
Disclaimer: These characters belong to ASP and only ASP... not me tear and everything that is in script form belongs to her as well and John Stephens because he wrote the episode
A/N: Hey! During The Fundamental Things Apply, didn't you alway ponder the fact that Luke compared Lorelai to his past girlfriends when he was talking about his "Gut Feeling"? Okay so this is my second fanfic and the idea just sort of popped in my head the other day. This is for all the people who are waiting for Tight Quarters to be updated seeing as I'm always uber slow on that. Anyway, this is based on the idea that more then just watching movies took place on Luke and Lorelai's movie night (The Fundamental Things Apply)... It skips around a lot from scenes in the episode to scenes in my fic and there are flashbacks etc. which I will warn you about, however, I'm sorry if it's confusing, but I think you are all smart enough to catch on :-) Okay so I present to you Chapter One of It might be fun hee hee that rhymes!
P.S.If it were physically possible to make out with your reviews I would...get the picture?
LORELAI: Hey, I have an idea. Tomorrow night is usually movie night.
LUKE: What?
LORELAI: Rory and I would always rent a bunch of movies, order food -- it was our thing. Now she's at school and busy, so why don't you come over? It might be fun.
LUKE: Okay.
CUT TO LORELAI'S HOUSE
Later that night, Rory walks through the front door
RORY: Mom?
LORELAI: Hey, hey. Shh.
Luke is sleeping on the couch. Lorelai covers him up with a blanket
RORY: Tell me he didn't fall asleep during "Casablanca."
LORELAI: No, we made it through "Casablanca." He fell asleep during "Hardbodies."
RORY: How do you fall asleep during a classic like "Hardbodies"?
LORELAI: There's no accounting for taste.
RORY: He looks comfy there, doesn't he?
LORELAI: Yeah, he does. (She says extremely uncomfortably)
Flash Back Time!
LUKE: There's the gut. I can tell if I'm comfortable with someone within seconds of meeting them. I feel it here. I felt it with Rachel. I felt it with Nicole. I was immediately relaxed.
Lorelai was thinking about what Luke had just said. "Maybe I'm over analyzing this, but did he just compare how he feels about me to how he felt about Nicole...and Rachel? Maybe it doesn't mean anything though, I mean, he's been drinking... we both have... he doesn't know what he's talking about right?"
She decided to speak, "Wait. You...feel it here?"
"What?" Luke said, he knew exactly what she was talking about.
"You just said... well, you said that you felt comfortable around me like you did with Nicole and Rachel."
"Yea, so?" Luke was trying to hide his smirk.
"Well, Rachel is your ex-girlfriend who you almost married, and Nicole is your ex-wife who you did marry and well I'm just your friend..."
"Lorelai, what are you trying to get at?" Luke teased, his face now abnormally close to hers.
"Well... I just thought... that," Lorelai slowed down and got quieter with every word, keeping her eyes on his lips the whole time.
Luke was going to continue to tease her and pull his face away, but he couldn't. This was Lorelai Gilmore and he finally had the chance to kiss her. He didn't care if he would regret it tomorrow, he wasn't going to pass up the chance to see how it would feel, like he had done many times before. "Wow, I am extremely confident when I'm drunk," He thought to himself. Their lips met. He closed his eyes and his arms made his way around her back while hers moved from his shoulders to his cheeks. Soon they began kissing more intensely. They continued for a few moments before she started to unbutton his flannel shirt. He took her shirt and lifted it over her head, their mouths separating for a moment, but crashing back together quickly, neither of them taking a breath. Luke gently pushed Lorelai back onto the couch... they remained there for awhile... kissing...
and maybe more...
Mwahahahaha
Lorelai opened her eyes to a foggy sight of things and a horrible headache. She forgot where she was for a moment, but soon remembered after she lifted her head to find Luke sleeping next to her on the couch. His arm was resting around her and her head was resting on his stomach. She got up quickly "Oh my...wow... what time is it? Where's Rory? Oh my gosh! Did she see us and leave? Did she come in to find me and Luke together, on the couch and then..." All of the sudden the door began to open.
Rewind
RORY: Mom?
LORELAI: Hey, hey. Shh.
Luke is sleeping on the couch. Lorelai covers him up with a blanket
RORY: Tell me he didn't fall asleep during "Casablanca."
LORELAI: No, we made it through "Casablanca." He fell asleep during "Hardbodies."
RORY: How do you fall asleep during a classic like "Hardbodies"?
LORELAI: There's no accounting for taste.
RORY: He looks comfy there, doesn't he?
LORELAI: Yeah, he does. (Like I said... extremely uncomfortable)
Rory and Lorelai walked into the kitchen, sat down and started talking about Rory's date
LORELAI: Luke and I were debating that. Luke thinks it's all about gut instinct - you know instantly if a person is right for you. I think you have to go through a lot to find a contender. And you've been very lucky with boys before. They were just always sort of there, but I think for the most part, a girl's got to hunt a little.
RORY: And go through a lot of non-contenders.
LORELAI: Yes, then the non-contenders become your fun bad-date anecdotes. In fact, on your next date, if you're stuck for a topic, tell him about your bad date.
RORY: But what if that date is bad?
LORELAI: Then you have an anecdote for your next date.
RORY: And how long does this go on?
LORELAI: You've seen "Grey Gardens." It could go on forever.
RORY: Oh, well, just shoot me now.
LORELAI: Hang in there. Go with Luke's gut thing if all else fails.
RORY: Maybe.
"Are you okay?" Rory asked her mother.
"Yea why?" Lorelai lied.
"I don't know, you seem funny... did something happen tonight? Did you and Luke have a fight?"
"What? No..."
"Mom you suck at lying. So, I now know whatever you are thinking about has something to do with Luke."
"No way..." Lorelai turned her head so her daughter wouldn't notice her face turning red.
"Again, your lying skills...not so good. You so would never be able to get away with murder."
"Like you would?"
"I would"
"You would confess right away. When you forgot to return the Illiad at the library, you grounded yourself for a week remember? and you called the library and told them you felt so guilty that you would work there for free until they gained back your trust."
"Okay, well... we're getting a little off topic" Rory said. "What happened?"
"Rory, I told you, nothing happened." Lorelai continued to lie.
"Mom..."
"Alright fine. Well, Luke and I, we sort of kissed an-"
Rory cut her off before she could continue. "You what? I can't believe it!"
"Wait there's actually a little more." Lorelai decided to be honest.
"There's more? I'm confused..." Rory was trying to figure out what more there could possibly be and then it clicked in her head. "Oh...Oh my gosh! Mom... did you and Luke...?"
Lorelai looked at her daughter.
"Well? Did you?" Rory asked anxiously.
Lorelai took a deep breath and answered "Yes."
"Wow..." was all that could come out of Rory's mouth. "How did this happen?"
"Well...we were drunk and we were watching a movie and then we started talking about dating and Luke mentioned the gut thing and how he had the gut thing with me and-"
By this point Rory wasn't paying attention to her mother, she was still processing everything when she realized..."Ew! Oh my gosh mom! Did you and Luke...on the couch!"
Lorelai looked at Rory with a look of guilt on her face.
"Ew... ew...ew...ew!" Rory said and she got up and headed toward the couch where Luke was sleeping, Lorelai followed. "Ew, ew ew ew ewww!" Rory said pointing to the couch.
"Shh!" Lorelai said and lead her back into the kitchen. "Don't wake him up!" She urged.
"I'll never be able to sit on that couch again. Tomorrow, we are going to a furniture store... and-"
"Big picture Rory! Big picture!" Lorelai said
"Right...sorry." Rory said and sat back down. "So... were you... um... safe?"
"Yes of course! Geez Rory!" Lorelai responded. "We were safe right?" she thought to herself, everything was still a blur.
"Well, I don't know what kind of questions to ask in this sort of situation! I mean, it's Luke!"
"I know..."Lorelai said "What was I thinking? Luke is my friend."
"Yes, he is your friend, but you guys have always been close. This was bound to happen eventually."
"What?" Lorelai asked.
"Come on mom, the whole town knew you would get together eventually."
"We aren't... together. It was just a one time thing."
"Really? I mean, is that how you really feel?"
"Honestly... I don't know. Everything happened so fast, I just need time to clear my head, but I'm running short on time because Luke is going to wake up soon and then we're gonna have to talk and it's going to be awkward and..."Lorelai took a deep breath.
"Well maybe you should just wait until Luke gets up and then talk to him, see what he's thinking. I can go to Lane's and give you guys space if you want."
"No, you can stay."
"Are you sure? I know Lane won't mind." Rory said seriously.
"No, I want you to be here. That way, if things get really awkward with me and Luke you can jump out and pretend you didn't know we were talking or something and therefore, the awkwardness will be transferred on to you."
"Right, okay... and how will I know when it's awkward."
"Well, when everything gets silent for more than ten seconds."
"Right, right. Okay well I guess I'll be in my room then."
"Alright hon, goodnight." Lorelai said and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Night." Rory said and turned around. "Oh and mom? Everything's gonna be okay." She said with a smile and closed her door.
"I hope so." Lorelai said unconvincingly.
Just then, Luke opened his eyes, unsure of where he was. When he looked around, he started to remember. "What happened? I was watching a movie and then... Oh no!" He remembered it clearly. He sat up and took a deep breath. With that he stood up to find Lorelai walking into the living room.
"Oh... hi" she said.
"Hi..." he said back.
A/N: HA! Sorry about the cliffhanger! I had to, I just had to! and to make it up to you I will update as soon as possible which for me means in a year at least...I'm kidding... anyway, I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it and remember reviews, make out, me, love! Thanks:-)
