Lorelai Gilmore stood in the shampoo aisle of Doosie's Market. In each hand she held a bottle of shampoo. Flipping open the top of one, she brought it up to her nose, and sniffed it.
She wrinkled her nose, closed the cap, and quickly shoved it back on the shelf. She opened the top of the other bottle and sniffed it. "That's better." She said to no one.
She picked up another bottle and read the label. "Nope, used this one last week."
"Talking to the shampoo?"
Lorelai spun around. "Luke! Don't sneak up on me like that! You need to let me know when you're coming."
"How? Should I wear a bell?" Luke asked.
"Good idea. Where does Taylor keep the bells?"
"I was kidding. Now excuse me, I need to get my shampoo."
Lorelai stepped aside and Luke grabbed a plain, white bottle off the shelf.
"Boring!" Lorelai said.
"What?"
"Your shampoo is boring. You have so many choices and you pick that?"
"Yes."
"But you could get one that makes your hair smell like pears or flowers!"
"I don't want my hair to smell like pears or flowers."
"Why not?"
"Because-forget it. I'm leaving."
"No wait!" Lorelai shouted. I need your help. I can't pick a shampoo!"
"Just get the one you got last time."
Lorelai gasped. "Never. You have to wait at least a month before repeating shampoos. A rule you obviously don't follow."
"No."
"Ok, so this one," Lorelai pointed to a bottle. "Smells really bad. And this one smells really good, but it doesn't have the matching conditioner."
"So get the good smelling shampoo and a different conditioner."
"No. You can't mix scents. How people can buy a conditioner without the matching shampoo is beyond me."
"Your method of buying shampoo is beyond me." Luke muttered. "Just get a different scent then."
"But which one. There are to many choices. That's why I need your help."
"Fine."
"Good. I've narrowed it down to these five."
"Which ones?"
Lorelai picked up a bottle and opened the cap. "This one smells like apples." She shoved the bottle under Luke's nose.
"Nice."
"This one is lavender." She handed him the bottle. "What do you think?"
"Ehhhh."
"Yeah. This is peach."
"Better." Luke said.
"And pear." Lorelai handed out the bottle.
"It's all right."
"And finally rose garden."
"Not this one." Luke said. "People will be able to smell you from a mile away with this one."
"Got it, no rose garden. And no lavender, since it got an ehhhh review."
"So it's down to apples, peaches, and pears." Luke said.
"Uh huh. Which did you like least?"
"Pears I guess."
"Ok, no pears." Lorelai said.
"Which are you gonna get?"
"I don't know."
"Just pick the fruit you like more."
Lorelai looked at him.
"Right you don't eat fruit. Why would I even say that?"
"Which do you like more?" she asked him.
"Apples."
"Ok apples it is." Lorelai grabbed the apple shampoo and conditioner off the shelf. "Thanks."
"No problem."
"You know what?" Lorelai asked as the two headed to the front of the store to pay.
"What?"
"They should make a coffee scented shampoo."
"Why would someone want their hair to smell like coffee?"
"Well most people wouldn't. But I would."
"You're crazy." Luke said.
"Thank you."
