Dean
Luke was just about to get Rory strawberries on a beautiful morning in his Diner when he happened to glance out the window. Oh no... Luke saw him coming down the street. With that smug little grin, and completely unconcerned about what he had done to Rory, the pride and joy of Stars Hollow. Frowning, Luke stalked outside. He held up a hand as he headed into the street. "Stop right there."
"What?"
"Where are you going?"
"To... get coffee?" Dean trailed off, confused.
"No."
"Excuse me?"
"Not going in there, buddy."
"What are you talking about?"
"Turn around, Bag Boy."
Dean gawked. "Are you serious?"
"You see a smile on this face?" Luke deadpanned.
"No, but what's different about that?" Dean cracked.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"It's just you're not exactly known as the town crack-up," and Dean tried to move past him. Luke pushed his hands into Dean's chest to halt him.
"So you're a smart guy right now, huh?" Luke turned Dean away.
Dean awkwardly laughed. "What the hell are you doing?"
"Just exercising my right not to serve."
"What are you talking about?" Dean's voice rose in anger. "I'm not even inside yet."
And that's when the fight began. Dean tried to duck under Luke's arm, but Luke held him back. They got tangled up.
"Let go of me!"
"You first!" Luke goaded, a little flustered.
Meanwhile, Rory and Lorelai were inside the diner, having no idea of the awkward brawl happening just outside the door. Right outside the window beside their table, in fact. Luke now had Dean in a headlock. Lorelai finally noticed and spat out her coffee. "Oh my God!"
"What...? Oh my God!" Rory followed her mother as the girls raced outside.
"Hey, hey, hey! Cut it out! Break it up! You! Back off!" Lorelai pulled Luke and Dean apart. "What do you think you're doing?" she reprimanded Luke.
"He started it!"
"What?"
"He was coming in!"
"Are you a lunatic? He's sixteen!"
"Well, what was I supposed to do?"
"Well, stand in the middle of the street and have a slap fight, of course! Come here!" And Lorelai led Luke away. As Dean made to slink away, Luke tried to barrel down on him from the diner doorway, only to have Lorelai drag him back in like he was a wayward dog. "Get inside! Now!"
"He started it..." Luke whined.
