A Different Sequence of Events Same Ending

What if Luke and Lorelai didn't get back together in So Good Talk? The Season's events are the same except for the Luke and Lorelai story line. Will they end up back together? Starts around How many Kropogs to Cape Cod.

I still care

Luke's Diner (A new guy comes in the diner starts talking to Luke. Let's call him Jake)

Morning

What can I get you?

Coffee black

That all?

Yeah

You new in town?

Yeah I just moved to town about a week ago?

Business or Pleasure?

Business (Lorelai walks by the diner Jake sees her, Luke notices) but maybe pleasure. Who is that?

Lorelai Gilmore (Luke starts getting annoyed)

She married

No (The tension is rising)

She seeing anyone?

Not that I know of

She comes in here often?

She used to but not anymore

Do you know where I can get her number?

NO (Luke gets mad and walks off)

(Jake says to Kirk)

What's his problem?

He used to date her

Really?

Yeah he liked her for years even when he was married and last year they finally ended up together but her parents didn't like him and tried to sabotage the relationship and it worked. He got angry and she tried to explain but he wouldn't let her. Then they broke up and both of them have been themselves. He's bitter and she's depressed. Shame to we all thought they were going to be together forever but now it doesn't even look like they will become friends again.

Has she gone out with anyone since?

Nope

Hmmm

The town square (Jake is walking and bumps into Lorelai. Luke walks by and notices them talking and stops to listen)

Excuse me

Oh no Excuse me I'm so sorry and I wasn't paying attention

No it's my fault; I usually don't bump right into beautiful girls like you

Oh well

I'm Jake Martin

Lorelai Gilmore

Listen I'm new in town and I really need someone to show me around think you could

Oh well I am quite busy

Look here's my card get back to me

Sure

(Jake walks away, Lorelai stands there looking at the card, she's was just about to tear it up when Luke comes over)

Wow nice looking guy you got yourself there

Excuse me

And in record time to I mean he just got to town not even a week ago and you've already snatched him up must be a new record

Were you listening in on my conversation?

Sorry but how could I not It was very obvious especially the way you were throwing yourself at that guy

I bumped into him

Oh yeah likely story

Why do you care?

I don't

You sure seem like you do

Well I don't

Good because it's none of your business

It's not

No your not my boyfriend anymore, were not in a relationship anymore, hell were not even friends anymore, it's mot like you care what the hell happens to me your not there for me anymore

No I guess not

It's none of your business who I date where I date and when I date now if you excuse me I have places to be. It's been a pleasure

Right back at you

(Rory and Logan are having dinner at the grandparents house and Lorelai is gong just like in that episode, This takes place before she goes to the dinner and Mike Armstrong's offer is also still gong on)

The market (Lorelai is looking at the different selections of coffee when Jake comes up behind her. Luke is just around the corner and stops when he sees them talking so Lorelai doesn't see him and again he over hears there conversation)

SO are you a big coffee drinker

Not as much as I used to be

Nice to see you again

Same here

So have you thought about my offer?

Yes I have

And

I'm sorry Jake but I don't think so

Can I ask why?

I just got out of a really serious relationship probably the most serious relationship I have ever had and it ended so badly In the process I hurt so many people he hurt so may people so many people hurt us. I just I'm not ready to even consider dating again I may never be

Wow you must have really felt something for him

I did he was my best friend for eight years before anything happened, We went through so much together and when we finally got together I was so happy the happiest I had ever been in my entire life, I thought he was the one

You must have really loved him

I did, I really did

Do you think you two will ever get back together?

Probably not but I rather be alone then be with anyone else besides him, no offense

None taken

You're a really nice guy Jake but I just can'

I understand

(Jake walks away then turns around)

You should really tell this guy how you feel you never know you may get what you want

Maybe someday

See you around

Bye

(Luke quickly walks away so Lorelai wouldn't see him Lorelai stands there for a second then walk to the diner)

Diner (Luke hears the bell ring and comes in to see Lorelai)

I just wanted you to know that I am not going on a date with Jake

Okay

I haven't gone on a date with anyone since you and I broke up

Same here

I'm sorry for the things I said earlier today

So an I

Well I have to go

See you later

Yeah

Lorelai

Yes

Just so you know I will always care about you and be there for you no matter what

Thank you the same goes both ways

(Lorelai walks out of the diner)

(Dinner at the Gilmore's goes the same as it did in that episode and Lorelai's conversation with Sookie at the end of the episode goes the same also)
