Things from the past threaten the future
Will the woman he tried to fall in love with come in between him and the woman he did fall in love with?
Luke's Diner: Bell rings, Luke looks up and sees Nicole
Nicole
Hi Luke
What are you doing here?
Well it was my turn to deal with Taylor and I have a meeting with him later today so I thought I might come by and see how you were. It's been a while since we last talked.
I'm fine, great actually um could you excuse me for a second there's something that I have to take care of
All right I'll be here
Storage Room: Luke pulls out his cell phone and tries to call Lorelai
Town Square: Lorelai is walking towards Luke's when Ms. Patty and Babbett come towards her
Hello Lorelai dear
Oh hi Ms. Patty
Hi sugar
Babbett nice to see you
How you holding up sweetie

Oh such a brave girl isn't she Babbett
Yes she is and especially after all you've been through and now to have this happen
Okay well it was nice talking to you two but I really should be going
Head up young person

Diner: Lorelai walks in
Alright Babbett and Ms. Patty have officially gone crazy I mean (walks up to the counter and stops talking when she sees Nicole) Nicole
Well hello Lorelai how are you

Not bad
What brings you to town?
Business
Does Luke know you're here?
Yeah he went in the storage room he should be out soon
Oh well that's good
So what's new with you
Oh nothing much

You're engaged
(Luke walks out of the storage room)

(Nicole takes Lorelai's hand and show is toward Luke)
Did you Know Lorelai is engaged
Yes I did
When's the big date (Nicole says to Lorelai)
First snow of the season
Wow so the big day is coming up pretty soon
Yes it is
Wow that's great I'm very happy for you Lorelai
Thank you um you know what it's been great talking to you but I really have to be going um a whole lot to do today (whispers) like a go stick my head in the oven or stab myself with a whole bunch of knives
No coffee?
Oh yeah were was my head I guess I was just so surprised to see Nicole here that I completely forgot why I came in here because really what other reason would I have to come here
Here you go
Thank you
Goodbye Lorelai
Lorelai leaves the diner and Nicole turns to Luke
So Lorelai's getting married
Yeah um listen I'll be right back
Luke goes outside and tries to catch up with Lorelai
Lorelai
Go away
Wait
I am such an idiot the way ms. Patty and Babbett were going on and on this morning I should have know they were talking about Nicole I mean it's the same routine they gave me when you were dating and married to her
Lorelai please just let me try to explain
All right what is she doing here?
She has a meeting with Taylor or something
No what is she doing in you diner
I don't know
Good explanation
It doesn't matter why she is here
She is obviously here for a reason
I don't care why she is here
If she's back in the picture I swear I'm gone
Luke catches her off guard and kisses her passionately slowly bringing her closer to him while wrapping his arms around her. Luke ends the kiss then says
She's not going to be in the picture
I have to go
Lorelai pulls away from Luke
Lorelai wait
Luke watches her go with a hurt look on his face and Lorelai walks quickly away from Luke and is on the verge of tears
Diner: Luke walks in with a defeated look on his face
Everything get taken care of
Huh oh yeah sorta
Listen I was wondering if we could talk
Um sure why don't we go outside?
Outside: Luke and Nicole sit on a park bench
So what's new with you are you seeing anybody
Actually I am
Really is it serious
Yes it is
How serious
We're getting married
Wow that's pretty serious
Yeah it is
When's the big day
First snow of the season
That's when… Oh
Yeah
You two finally got together
Yeah we did
How long have you been together?
About a year and a half
Are you happy?
Very
That's good I'm glad
Are you?
What
I know you never liked Lorelai I know you were always jealous of her and I saw how happy you were when you found out she was engaged
I just
Nicole why are you here
I already told you
No the real reason
I wanted to reconcile but now that you're with your one true love I realized my coming back here was a mistake
Yeah it was
I just wanted to say that I'm sorry that I hurt you but it looks to me that everything turned out good for you in the end didn't it
Yeah it did
I'm really happy for you
Thanks
So is she mad
Oh yeah
Sorry about that
Yeah well not much you can do
So is there any way we could be friends
I don't think so Nicole
Alright
I think it's best if we don't see each other ever again
I guess your right
I mean this same kinda thing happened with Lorelai and me earlier in our relationship and she has stopped all contact with that person so I think its only fair if I do the same
Right
Goodbye Nicole
Bye Luke
Lorelai's house outside: Lorelai walks up to her front porch steps and finds a Luke waiting for her
I told her I never wanted to see her again
Lorelai sits down next to him
Okay
Just so you know I tried to tell you she was here before you saw her for yourself but that didn't turn out so well
No it didn't
I'm really sorry
It's not your fault, I overreacted it's just that when I saw hr it brought back all these memories and I realized I still can't stand her like before
Yeah well you don't have to worry about her
Good because I was not letting her get in between this
You weren't
No it's too important to me
End
