"Rory, he's not YOUR DEAN! You're the other woman," Lorelai told Rory.
Chapter 1
"I don't get it. Why are we going to Al's if you're dating Luke?" Rory asked her mom as they stopped at Stars Hollow's only stoplight.
"'Dating Luke,'" Rory's mother, Lorelai repeated. "I just can't get used to hearing that. Do you really think it's okay we're dating?"
"You're only asking me that so I can tell you AGAIN how the whole town always knew you'd end up together and how perfect you are for each other," Rory said, rolling her eyes.
"Of course. A girl needs some reassurance once in a while. I mean, after all, we're talking about Luke here."
"Mom, you didn't answer me," Rory complained.
"No, Rory, I don't think Liz Phair puts out music that's considered anything but annoying."
"Mo-om!" Rory said. "Al's Pancake World?"
"Oh! Yes. Because it will be weird to be with Luke after last night, especially since Miss Patti and Kirk and everyone will be there expecting something," Lorelai answered.
"Mom, they probably don't even know. Who would tell them? You haven't been awake long enough and Luke doesn't say much to people anyway," Rory rationalized.
"Lorelai! Lorelai!" Miss Patti called, chasing their car down the street. Lorelai pulled over and rolled down her window.
"I just heard the news! Congratulations! I knew you two would end up together. Well, honey, the whole town knew. When Kirk told me that Babette said you kissed, I almost did a pirouette, and I haven't done one of those since Prag in 1987," Miss Patti exclaimed.
"Miss Patti, Babette was watching us?" Lorelai asked.
"Ohhh. She might have had a set of binoculars or two," Miss Patti said hesitantly.
"But how would she see me from her room? Everyone was inside going to bed...at the inn! MY inn!"
"Ohhh. Um, well, we were taking a stroll..." Miss Patti started.
"Wait. We???"
"Okay! Babette, Kirk, Taylor, Gypsy, myself, a few others..."
"How many others?" Lorelai asked desperately.
"About 10," Miss Patti said, nonchalantly.
"Okay, we've gotta go." Lorelai floored it and arrived at Al's in record time, fuming the whole way.
"Ahhh! I can't believe this town! There's no escape!" she screamed. "I've either got Richard and Emily or Patti and Babette. It's crazy!" Lorelai pounded on her steering wheel.
"Mom, it's okay. They had to find out sooner or later, right? So now you don't have to tell them. They already know. I think since they know, we should go to Luke's. Al's serving steak sandwiches today," Rory said.
"Ewww," Lorelai commented and turned around the jeep. The girls quickly arrived at Luke's and jumped out of their car. Just as Rory was about to open the diner's door, Lorelai called, "Wait!" Rory stopped. "Do I look pretty? Cuz I...feel...pretty. Oh so pretty..."she started to sing from Westside Story. Rory rolled her eyes and opened the door. Lorelai continued to sing until she sat down in a chair at the table Rory had staked out.
"Where is he?" Lorelai asked.
"I don't know but he's sure got a lot of customers," Rory said, looking around the crowded room. Suddenly, Luke rushed out of the kitchen, several plates in each hand.
"I could use some help out here, Caesar!" he shouted over the noise of the crowded room.
"Wow. He must be carrying 200 plates!" Lorelai exclaimed.
"Actually, I count nine," Rory corrected her.
"Not the most useful skill out of the kitchen but..."Lorelai shrugged.
"Mom!" Rory exclaimed. Luke looked up from his plates and his eyes locked on Lorelai's. She smiled. He nodded, finished putting his plates down, and walked over to her table.
"Hi," Lorelai said.
"Hi," Luke repeated. After a minute, Rory cleared her throat. Luke and Lorelai snapped out of their daze and Luke asked what they'd like.
"Coffee and a cherry Danish," Rory said.
"Oh, me, too. Sounds good," Lorelai agreed.
"Um, Lorelai, why don't you go to my pantry and get the last 2 cherry danishes I stashed for the two of you."
"Okay," Lorelai said and got up. Luke filled up 2 coffees, then, realizing he had run out of ground coffee beans, he ran to his pantry.
"Oh, hi...again," Luke said, upon seeing Lorelai.
"Hi," Lorelai repeated, putting down her newly discovered danishes and walking over to Luke's side. Luke leaned down to kiss her...
Meanwhile
Rory was staring out the window when she saw Dean crossing the street outside. Her heart skipped a beat and, not taking her eyes off of him, she took off her jacket and left it on the table with her coffee to save her spot. She ran out the door, after Dean.
"Dean!" she called. "Dean, wait!" He turned around.
"Oh, hey, Rory. I'm going to the ally to throw this trash out," he hinted, holding up a small trash bag.
"Oh, okay." Rory turned around and started casually walking toward the ally. Once Dean arrived, he dropped the trash bag and affectionately kissed Rory.
"Dean, are you and Lindsay getting a divorce?" Rory asked.
"We haven't talked about it, but I'm sure we are. We're done." He leaned in to kiss Rory again. Rory stepped back.
"Well, are you gonna talk about it?" Rory pressed.
"Yes! Now stop being so rational!" He said smiling. They kissed again, long and hard.
"You promise you'll talk to her tonight?"
"I'll talk to her tonight," Dean repeated. "I've gotta go. Rory, I love you, not her. I'll call you later," Dean said and rushed off, leaving Rory to calm herself before anyone saw.
Please review! Pretty please with a cherry on top?
