Lorelai Leigh Gilmore, otherwise known as Rory Gilmore, was sitting on a stool by the counter at Luke's. She pushed her large coffee mug away from her. To her surprise, the cup was empty of the Gilmores' beloved drink. "Fill me up!" Rory shouted playfully at Luke Danes, the owner of Rory's favorite place in the world, Luke's Diner. Lorelai Gilmore, Rory's mother, was sitting in the chair next to her also waiting for a refill of coffee.

"Come on, Luke! Can't you move any faster?" Lorelai bickered.

"Hold on! You do realize I have real, paying customers too, right?" Luke responded.

"If you refill us after you put down those last plates I'll give you a much greater tip later!" Lorelai replied with a smirk. Luke tried to conceal it, but he couldn't help but smile back.

"I'll hold you to that," Luke said. "And you can't break your promise. You know that, right?"

"Well what if I do?"

"You'll have to pay me back-- but I won't accept cash," Luke whispered with a wink.

Lorelai gasped. "Oh, dirty!" she said.

Rory let out a chuckle. "Well, I should give you guys some alone time. I'll head back to Yale. Mom, are we still on for Saturday?"

"Yes. I was thinking we could go to the mall, do a little shopping, share one of those giant pretzels, and catch a movie. Sounds good?"

"Yeah, sounds good. See you Saturday."

"Bye Rory!" Lorelai and Luke yelled.

When Rory reached her dorm, she was happy to see Logan waiting at her front door with a bouquet of flowers. "For you, Ms. Gilmore," he said. Rory greeted her boyfriend with a strong hug and a soft kiss. "I missed you, Ace."

"I missed you so much, Logan," she said back. The two had been missing each others' phone calls for a few weeks. Rory had been traveling to Stars Hollow quite a lot this semester and had different class schedules than Logan, so it was difficult for them to meet up.

"So I thought that I'd take you out to an early dinner," Logan proclaimed. He smiled as he put his arm around Rory's shoulder.

"Definitely! Where are we going?" Rory asked.

"That new Italian place around the block. I went there with Finn last week and their food is great."

"Great!" Rory responded as Logan escorted her to his car.

The couple had a lovely time at the restaurant. They talked about what they did when they were out of contact and set dates for them to visit each other. Like Logan said, Rory loved the food at the restaurant. They even shared a bottle of wine. Eventually, they left for Logan to drop Rory off at her house. He once again escorted her to her room. "May I come in?" Logan requested.

"Um, well, Paris came down with a nasty fever yesterday and it was pretty ugly," Rory said.

"Come on, Ace. Don't we need to celebrate just a bit more?"

"I would love to, but trust me, it's bad. There's vomit all over the floor," Rory protested. But it wasn't true. Nothing she was saying was true. Hell, Paris wasn't even staying at the dorm. She was sleeping at Doyle's house for the weekend.

"How about my room?" Logan said.

"Colin. Finn," Rory answered.

"Ah, yes. We'll get together next week. See you later, Ace," Logan said, slightly disappointed.

"Bye, Logan," Rory said back. Logan kissed her and left.

Rory opened the door to her apartment and went into her bedroom. "Glad you could finally make it," someone said.
