Chapter One
Friday morning - post breakfast
Luke's point of view:
Okay, I did it. Whoa. I asked her out. I just walked up to her one morning at the diner and said, 'Hey Lorelai, how about we go out and have some dinner and maybe see a movie tomorrow night," like it was the easiest thing in the world for me to say. Whew. And she said, "Sure, sounds good, swing by around 7?" as though we had done this a thousand times.
Never mind the blank stares and gaping mouths of all the town patrons. I had to run into the back to keep from laughing at loud at their reaction. Yeah, I know they have all been waiting for me to do it, to finally ask her out. Christ, it's been years that these people have been waiting. I secretly wonder if that's the only reason they've been coming into the diner for so long, just waiting for the day I ask out the woman I've been in love with for so long. I guess if no one shows up tomorrow for breakfast, that's prove my point, right? I laugh at the thought. And Rory, the poor girl. I thought she was going to fall right off the stool.
She had only recently broken up with Alex. And through the Jess-to-Rory-to Lorelai grapevine, she knew that I broke up with Nicole. She didn't know why. Hell, I'm not sure why. We were getting along great - really great. She was nice, smart, funny, sexy, there was only one thing wrong with her - she wasn't Lorelai. That thought makes me sigh. I just finally decided enough was enough. Finally just take advantage of her current very single status and go for it. But I've never been one to 'go for it' - why on earth would I still be standing here in the diner with her so close yet not 'with' her? A thousand times I've wanted to just grab her and kiss her, sweep her off her feet and take her up the stairs to ravish her and make her mine. Just the thought of that makes my palms moist and I break out into a nervous sweat.
What is it that makes her have this control over me? It's obviously a family gift, seeing how Jess has completely fallen under the Gilmore spell as well with Rory. At least he had the balls to do something about it. Yet here I sit, year after year, and watch and wait. Well, no more. Here comes a new Luke Danes - ready or not Lorelai, here I come.

Lorelai's point of view:
You know, just when you think you've gotten someone figured out, bam! They hit you, like Emeril or something. Luke and I were back in our comfortable flirting-slash-bickering-slash-friendly relationship and he asks me out ON A DATE. At least I think that was an ask-out. I had to double-check that with Rory, who looked twice as shocked as I did when he asked me. I thought she was going to fall right off the stool in the diner when he asked. Wow. Me and Luke. Out on a date. I know, everyone in this town thinks there's something going on between us, as well as my mother AND Max, but I just never saw this coming. And yeah, I've thought about him 'that way' once or twice, but I never really put tons of thought into it. Okay, that's not right either. I've thought about it, but only because if we got together and it didn't work out, what if, what if, what if! Argh! I even told him I hate the 'what if' part of dating!
And Rory. How is she going to feel about having this person who has been so close to us all these years, like a dad to her, now, well, like a DAD to her? Will that totally freak her out? Nah, she's told me a million times that Luke has a thing for me, I don't think she'd be telling me that if she had a problem with it. After all, it's LUKE. It's not someone new that she'll have to figure out or get used to being around. Heck, she probably has a pro and con list for 'why mom should be with Luke' tucked away somewhere in her room. Oh! And Emily is going to be overjoyed to hear about this - she's been convinced about Luke for a long time now, I can hardly wait for the lecture when Rory mentions it tonight at our Friday night dinner.
I just wonder why now? Why all of a sudden does he just out of the blue ask me out to dinner and a movie? Maybe his relationship with Nicole gave him some confidence that he didn't have before? Crap, I don't even want to think about Nicole. That whole relationship just bugged me. She was so perky. And Luke changed his menu for her, for HER. No, he wouldn't do that for me, but oh sure, he'd do it for her. Ga, that makes me so mad. Rory says I'm just being mad because I'm jealous of Nicole. Well, ha, Nicole is gone now and Luke is MINE! Wait! Mine? What am I thinking? Geez, I need to talk to Sookie about this before I explode. But I know what she'll say - 'I told you so' - I just know it, just like everyone else in this town.
I just hope that Luke plans something out of town - WAY out of town, like in another country or something.
