Hi! this is your friendly Disclaimer: I own a really cute Maleficent stuffed animal? You know, the villian from Sleeping Beauty, and it's her as a DRAGON, how cool is that!!! Not as cool as owning Gilmore Girls, But sadly I own nothing Gilmore (well I do have the season one DVD, happy? I admited it!!!) No harm, no SUE, I just borrow from the POWERS THAT BE THE WB, & ASP, I play with the puppets, and then I put them back neatly in their original boxes.(Disney owns sleeping beauty and maleficent)
S5Spoiler ALERT!! Avoid if you must!! But you'll be sorry!!!!
Summary: L/L A look at the lasting, meaningful friendship between Luke, Jason and Christopher,...(bursts into laughter) okay, okay I couldn't do it with a straight face, just R/R please!! If I told you it wouldn't be a surprise!Clue in the alternate titles; Do the math!! L/C, L/J, of course ends L/L

Chapter 1:
NO, NO, NO,...!!
Ding Dong!
Lorelai was still getting ready for her date with Luke, when the doorbell rang. She let out a small grunt of fustration. As she made her way down the stairs, she hollered to her gentleman caller "Luke!! Remember the conversation we had about 'Real World Time' and 'Gilmore Time'!!"
Although, initially annoyed that her date prep had been interrupted, she still eagerly anticipated their first kiss of the evening. She had to admit, she had missed him all day. She hadn't seen him since that morning at the diner. She came in for a quick coffee, muffin, and a kiss to go. After the traditional "this stuff will kill you" banter, and since she was running late for the Inn; She only had a few minutes to confirm the evenings plans, with time and place, she kissed him over the counter and was on her way.
Her favorite perk of actually dating Luke, was kissing Luke. Lorelai enjoyed the kissing more than the coffee; and that is saying something!!! When in private, even the shortest, sweetest, most innocently intended peck, could end up with a steamy flourish and heavy breathing. They just couldn't seem to help themselves, like hormonal teanagers, if left alone too long, things got heated rather quickly. Fustrated, but proud that they still have resisted the temptaion to giving in completely. She smiled at the thought, Maybe tonight?, as she entered the Foyer. She opened the door only to have her smile fade faster than a Britney Spears marriage.
"What are you doing here?"she choked out, horrified.
Christopher Hayden let out a low whistle "Man, you look Great!!! I should surprise you every day!"
"No, you shouldn't!! and with more urgency I repeat, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?" her tone almost desperate.
"You didn't say 'hell' the first time?"
"CHRIS!" she barked in a Stop-Being-An-Ass tone.
"I need to talk to you", he pushed past her into the hall, and stopped by the stairs. And Lorelai sarcastically growled, "Well, of course, Come on in!" She slammed the door with impaitence, and checked the living room clock. 6:58: Luke will be here any minute!!
Chris turned to face her. "Things are bad with Sherry" and Chris started his explaination of his unexpected presence. "The problems that were there before she got pregnant are still there, only now with more bitterness if you add the passing of time and a marriage license to the mix."
Lorelai was appalled that he chose this exact moment to drive all the way from Boston, just to confide in her. "Hello, there is such a thing as a telephone!" Her quick to temper beau was on his way, and she had Rory's dad, whom said beau despised, in her house!!! Not Good. However, feeling a little sympathy for his situation, she tried to comfort him, but was determined to do it as quickly as possible.
"What about Gigi? Isn't raising a child together what you wanted?"
"I love Gigi! I mean, watching her grow everyday, making new discoveries. I really see how much I missed with Rory. But Sherry and I can't keep up this façade of the happy family much longer!"
"Façade? Chris, Gigi is 18 months, don't you think that's a bit young to have the whole 'not infront of the kids' mentality"
"I know, I know, but Sherry And I have been fighting more and more lately... I think divorce is the only option."
"Chris, No. What about counseling? What about..."
"It's too late for that, Lor. It's over"
She hated it when he called her that. "It's Lorelai, Lor-e-lai, you Idiot!" she thought to herself.
Then, something about the way this conversation was playing out reminded Lorelai of the assurances and promises that Dean had made to Rory the night of the test run! "It's too late for that, Lor. It's over" She repeated silently. The strange feeling Lorelai was getting was based on the depiction Rory had given her of THAT NIGHT. A little déjà vu? No?!
Chris continued "I've given this a lot of thought." He offered quietly, stepping toward her "I still want to be with you, Lor!"
Any compassion for his situation was gone. And she firmly denounced the idea "NO, NO, NO, NO, NO! You are NOT doing this NOW!" Lorelai emphasized each "No" with a pointed finger, as her cheeks began to feel very warm. "I can't believe my gut was right!"
"Why not? We were meant to be."
"First of all, Any hope of 'US' died when you got Sherry pregnant. Second, I got over you a long time ago. I am NOT your backup girl, just waiting around for you to come to your senses. Yes, we have a history. Yes, we have a daughter. That doesn't mean we're 'meant to be'. I don't want you to have those kinds of thoughts. Chris, I have a life here. Contrary to popular belief, time did not stand still just because you weren't here to witness it. I've changed, I've grown, I've moved on, and I am finally happy. THIRD, and most importantly,...Chris,... Look at me!" Exasperated, she threw her hands to her sides to offer him the best veiw of her ensemble.
Lorelai was in a midnight blue dress, with an A-line skirt, accented with glitter and sparkles to look like the night sky. He looked her up; And he looked her down. A confused Chris offered, "Now's not a time to fish for a compliment, Lor!"
"GRRR , I'm in a fabulous dress, my face is made up, and there is not a hair out of place. I have a DATE!! My BOYFRIEND will be here any minute." "Boyfriend? ...Did I just call Luke my boyfriend!" if she wasn't so angry, she might have burst into school girl giggles.
"Boyfriend?"
"Yes, Boyfriend." She confirmed, back to the argument at hand "A Boyfriend who really cares about me. A boyfriend who has been HERE the whole time for all the changes in my life. A boyfriend who took the time to show up to Rory's Graduation, unlike her own father!! A very ENVIOUS boyfriend, who CAN and WILL kick your ASS if he finds you here!" "Guinness World Records website: Yes, that is the most anyone has used the word 'boyfriend' in a single rant. Congratulations!"she joked to herself, in an attempt to keep her sanity under the circumstances.
"Just tell him..." Chris was searching for an excuse, as a defense to avoid his ass being kicked, "...tell him... I came to see Rory" he suggested, when he noticed her eyes narrowed and the angered expression on her face "Well I did!... sort of." He only half defended her silent accusation.
Lorelai shook her head, "I can't believe you!" Trying to use Rory as a scape goat! Bastard! "You don't pay attention to anything, do you? Rory is in Europe with Emily! Hello, we left a message two weeks ago, in case you wanted to say goodbye before she left, to see her off. But you had baby yoga or something..." God, please just make him leave! Just disappear!
"Oh, ... well.. uuhh...I…"
Ding Dong!
