Chapter 1...
"Oh, 2001…Where has the time gone," Lorelai thought leisurely as she slowly drank a cup of coffee at a table in Luke's Diner. She had been sitting there for over 30 minutes, staring into the emptiness of the same addictive coffee cup.
Just as she took another deep sip of the coffee, Luke fell into the chair opposite from where she was seated and stared at her with his mysteriously caring eyes. "Usually you are on your forth cup by now," he began as Lorelai smiled meekly. "Is something wrong?"
"Oh, you know. Life…"
"Pretty broad answer, but maybe this will help to cheer you up," Luke replied as he pulled a plate out from under the table and placed in front of Lorelai. "A late breakfast." The dish, decorated as affectionately as the Santa Claus burger had been a year before, bestowed a waffle with blueberry eyes, a strawberry nose, a whipped cream mouth, and a little syrup to add the illusion of hair.
Lorelai laughed. "It's staring at me," she smirked.
"You don't HAVE to eat it—"
"No, no…I love it. I just don't think I CAN eat it," she began in a mediating tone.
Luke rolled his eyes. "Do I even want to know why?"
"Well, it is kind of like that vegetarian thing. They can't eat anything that once smiled, and I can't eat anything while it's still smiling!"
"I was right, I didn't want to know," Luke said to himself as he picked himself up from the table.
Not acknowledging Luke's absence, Lorelai continued to talk. "I mean, how awful would it be to poke into those unblinking eyes?"
Luke walked behind the counter and began to serve another customer, but he continued to hear Lorelai jabbering in the background.
"Or to remove part of his cheek? How would you feel if someone just...bit off your cheek?"
