Default: I don't own Gilmore Girls, or the names that the brilliant Amy Sherman created.
Note: I am an avid Gilmore watcher and know exactly how Luke and Lorelai got together. Well, this is Lorelai's dream! And she can change anything she wants to…so that's this story.
Lorelai watched Rory leave through her bedroom door to go fetch much needed items. Her wallowing time didn't allow for anything but bathroom breaks, and not drinking any liquids meant that wallowing could last a lot longer.
Her soft pillow swallowed her head as she laid back, a new wave of tears coming forward. She had royally screwed up what was possibly the best thing to ever happen to her. Luke made her happier than anyone else had before Rory and now he was gone.
All the coffee, Danishes and donuts were no more, along with his love. She had pushed him and now he wasn't going to be around anymore in her life or possibly Rory's too. Now she had messed up times two.
As crying usually does, Lorelai started to feel a little sleepy and her eyes felt as if they weighed over ten pounds each. She blinked repeatedly to keep awake, trying to stop herself from having a horrid nightmare.
Lorelai closed her eyes, promising not to fall asleep, but just to let them rest. Everyone knows that this doesn't work when you're tired. Before she knew it, sleep had consumed her.
Dream Sequence
Noise filled the halls of the new Dragonfly Inn as friends and family ate their dinners. Luke had barely touched his food and was still enduring the never-ending tales of Miss. Patty and Babette.
Lorelai walked over and talked to them, asking them about their experience so far. Nothing but nice comments swarmed out of their mouths. She thanked them and walked off with a smile. Luke watched her as she left, smirking to himself at how she had touched his shoulder sweetly.
"Oh Luke, just tell her how you feel and get it over with," Miss. Patty laughed. "What do you mean," Luke asked suspiciously. Babette sighed and put a hand on Luke's shoulder, where only moments ago Lorelai's hand was.
"We both know you like her so just let her know," She informed him drunkenly. "I don't like Lorelai," Luke scoffed. He pushed out his chair muttering that they were mental and then left in the same direction as Lorelai.
Lorelai entered the main hall and met Rory just coming back with Dean. "Hey you two," She greeted. "Did you get the music?" Rory nodded and held out a bag. "Yeah, I raided your room too, so nothing should be missing," She smiled greedily. Lorelai stuck out her tongue and took the bag from her.
She watched Rory and Dean walk off until they were back into the dining area and then Lorelai went to put on some better music. She randomly stuck her hand into the back and pushed around until she grabbed a random c.d. It was a burned disc, and had no indication what songs were on it, but Lorelai put it in anyway. The c.d. indicated it was inside and she pressed play, hoping that something good would come out. Non0lyrical songs come out and Lorelai smiled, thanking Rory for grabbing this particular disc.
Luke walked into the main hall and looked around. The music wafted throughout the Inn and he noticed Lorelai behind the front counter messing with the stereo. Luke casually walked up to the front desk and rested his chin on his hands.
Lorelai popped her head back up and shrieked. "God Luke," She breathed heavily. Luke chuckled and stood up properly to match Lorelai's height. "Are you having fun?" She asked, calmed down a little. "Yeah, It's a great place you have here," He complimented.
Lorelai smiled at him and walked around the counter to stand next to him. Either he's grown or she wasn't wearing tall enough shoes again. Luke seemed to notice the minor height difference too and smirked.
Lorelai made a face and got up on her toes. Knowing that she couldn't keep it up for long, Luke took a few steps away from her and Lorelai followed, stumbling a little, but managing to stay up. He took four more steps back and she followed him, falling on the last step.
Luke caught her as she fell forward and landed against his chest. Like all good romance stories, Lorelai looked up into his eyes and blushed. Luke too turned a light shade of red as he placed her back on her legs again.
"Thanks," She said flustered. "No problem," he responded with a cough. They awkwardly stood in front of each other before Rory came around the corner. "Mom, Sookie needs to see you," She reported before dodging back around he corner. They both cleared their throats and Lorelai slipped out of the room with a sorry smile. Luke watched her leave and decided to go back to the rest of the guests.
It had been about an hour since Luke had seen Lorelai unoccupied. Right now he was playing chess with Babette and she was winning. Lorelai strolled over, still nervous about being next to Luke again, but she pushed it back.
She once again placed a caring hand on Luke's shoulder as she talked to Babette about her beating Luke. She laughed and then went away to take care of some business. Babette nudged Luke and wiggled her eyebrows. He sighed and got up from the table, letting her immediately go join Patty at another table.
Lorelai walked to the front door, where an uninvited guest had showed up. "Jason, go away," She warned him. Jason stepped inside and tried to take Lorelai in his arms, but she pushed him away.
"I already told you that we were done Jason, so just leave me alone now," She said again. "Look, I know that I messed up royally, but I still want to be with you Lorelai Gilmore," He explained. Luke walked up behind Lorelai and tapped her on the shoulder.
Lorelai turned around and her eyes widened in shock. "Luke, this isn't what it looks like. Jason was just leaving," her voice was stern as she turned back around to her ex. "Hi, I'm Jason, Lorelai's boyfriend," He greeted Luke. Luke pushed Lorelai behind him and shook Jason's hand suspiciously.
"You're not my boyfriend Jason. We're over," Lorelai said from behind Luke. Her hands were resting on his left arm as she peered around his shoulder. The two guys just locked eyes menacingly at each other as Lorelai stood frozen.
"Mom?" Rory called out. Lorelai looked around for her daughter and saw her standing at the base of the stairs. Luke turned his head and looked back too. Jason coughed and stepped out onto the porch.
"Is everything alright honey?" Lorelai asked walking to her. Luke stayed near the door, watching the two girls discuss what was happening by the stairs. Jason stayed outside on the porch as he started to get the idea of the fact that he wasn't want. (He was never wanted.)
"I'm fine but what's Jason doing here?" Rory asked with concern. Lorelai sighed. "He wants to make up with me," She painfully smiled. Rory was surprised and it showed.
"Is that a good thing?" She wondered. Lorelai shook her head and grinned. Rory made a confused face and glanced back at Luke, who was watching them with a strong intensity.
Rory looked from Luke to her mother repeatedly and Lorelai nodded. "I can't really explain it, but I do know that something is going to happen tonight," She smiled. Rory followed suite and grinned happily, before turning to walk back upstairs where everyone else was sleeping.
Lorelai turned back to Luke and was confused. "Wha?" She questioned, pointing to where Jason had been. Luke turned around to find an empty doorway. "I guess he got the idea," He said with a hint of glee.
Lorelai smirked as she slowly walked up to Luke and kissed him. He was frozen in place at what had suddenly happened. He double blinked and returned Lorelai's kiss, pulling her closer. She folded her arms up and wrapped them around Luke's neck, holding on as to not fall down from shock.
Rory watched from the top steps at the first kiss, before walking off the rest of the way to her room. Lorelai pulled back from Luke with wide eyes. She quickly screamed bloody murder at the sudden change of events.
