Stars Hallow Instant Messaging

Chapter 1: Luke and the computer.

Summary: Nobody knows it but Babbette and Miss Patty have recently discovered that they can spy on other citizens of Stars Hallow through the internet. They have unlocked a way to watch spy on everyone's Instant messages. It's interesting to find out what others are talking about on the internet. Things you wouldn't normally talk about in person…

A/N… This is a different format and I haven't really seen many stories with IM's in them. So bear with me on this. Let me know if you like it, love it, or hate it. Review appreciated J They fuel the fire baby! Also after my last story which I KICK MYSELF for ending to soon. I plan to drawing this out a little bit longer. I deeply appologize for the abrupt ending of my last story, Kirk, the Love Docter.

Babbette and Miss Patty share the ultimate secret of Stars Hallow, kind of a paradox considering they are all about town gossip. They both have discovered a way to see the instant messages and emails of everyone in the town who has the internet. Do you think they have taken any compassion on other people's privacy concerning this little tidbit of information? No way, in fact they are keeping their own secrets that they know how to do it. Nobody has any suspicions and for once they are keeping most of the information that they read to themselves.

Lorelai walked into the diner. Her mouth dropped open when she saw Luke on a computer. She walked up to the counter where he was sitting. He was in such deep concentration that he didn't even hear her walk in.

"Wow, the world must be about to end." Lorelai said trying to keep a straight face. "Luke and a computer. Now that is not two words you would hear in the same sentence. Let me rephrase that. That is not two things you would see in the same room."

Luke looked up, he smirked at her while chicken peeking the keyboard.

"Oh, Please." Lorelai covered her eyes with her hands. "You are doing it all wrong." she said.

"What?" He looked up at her slightly annoyed.

"This isn't a farm."

Luke looked up Lorelai and cocked his head.

"You're not a chicken. Stop pecking. You are chicken pecking the keyboard… that is not how you type. Do you want me to teach you how to type? I know Rory has a book at home."

"I think I'm doing a fine job. Thanks anyway. It's not like I'm going to be using this thing all the time. It's just for business."

Lorelai nodded. A half smile curved at the corner of her lips.

Luke glanced at her, "My banker suggested it would be easier for me to keep up with finances, inventory, and gave me some websites of suppliers. So I thought what the heck I might as well try it out. You know, maybe learn something new." Luke said while hunting the right letter on the keyboard.

"Oh I see, well if you need to know anything about it let me know. I might not know much, but I can help you look around on the net or email if you like." She smiled. Lorelai fished around in her pocket book. She took out a pen and paper and wrote down her email address and her yahoo screen name. She handed the paper to Luke. "I'll trade you for a coffee to go."

Luke poured her coffee in a to-go cup and stuffed the napkin in his pocket. "Should have figured, JavaJunkie." He smiled shyly as if she had shared her secret code name with him.

"Talk to you later Luke." she said while walking out the door.

Babette's eyes got wide as she finished up her bowl of oatmeal.

It wasn't long before Babbette called Miss Patty. "Hey Patty, You wouldn't believe this but Luke has a Computer!" she said practically yelling into the phone.

Miss Patty, not quite as excited as Babbette replied, "Oh that is great."

"Word is, I was at Luke's and there he is pecking around on his computer and Lorelai comes in and gives him a napkin with her screen name and email address on it. When she walks out she says, 'talk to you later,' I have a feeling he will get on there just to talk to her! You know how is about her! Oh things could get interesting I can see it, I can see it!" Babbette was almost manic.

"Oh yes," Miss Patty replied. "I can see it too." She smiled into her phone.

After a long day at work, Lorelai drove home and plopped down on her couch. There was nothing on Tv as she flipped through the channels. Hungrily, she walked over to the refrigerator and got out a two day old container of Chinese chicken. She carried it back into the living room and placed it on the coffee table. A small smile spread across her face as she ran upstairs to get her laptop. She came back downstairs and sat down with it on the couch. In between taking bites and flipping the tv, she managed to turn on her computer and log into her email. She had two new emails. There was one from Rory and one from Luke. A smile spread across her face. Feeling giddy, she clicked on Luke's email.

On her screen read:

Received from: Hey

Lorelai,

I finally got my email and my messenger set up. I'm glad my computer came with the messenger thing, because I know nothing about it. Anyway. I think I am LukeDanes on the yahoo messenger thingy. I think it is yahoo. I maybe signed into it, I'm not sure. I don't know much about this damn thing.

Later, Luke.

(Lorelai smiled to herself. She was going to enjoy Luke's company online. She clicked open her yahoo messenger and added LukeDanes to her friends list. He popped up online. She chuckled as she clicked on his name.)

JavaJunkie: Hey my Coffee God.

LukeDanes: Geez. The sound is loud on this thing. Your scarred me when you did that.

JavaJunkie: Oops. So are you learning anything new?

LukeDanes: Yeah, but I wish I could type faster.

JavaJunkie: I can bring you the book tomorrow If you want it.

LukeDanes: If it's not a problem. So what are you up to?

JavaJunkie: Sitting on my couch eating Chinese chicken, flipping channels, reading email and talking to you.

(Lorelai clicked to read Rory's email.)

Received from: I miss you mom!

Hey mom! I miss you! Sorry I couldn't make it home this weekend. I'll see you next weekend. Classes are going pretty good. Paris is on some kind of crusade so I have the place to myself this weekend. I think Logan may come by this evening and we might catch a movie or something. I'll call you tomorrow.

JavaJunkie: R U still there?

LukeDanes: Sorry I had to take a bathroom break.

Lorelai blushed as she shook her head. So he was going to be an online flirt. She smiled to herself. She closed her laptop and headed upstairs.

After her shower, Lorelai put on her pajamas and hopped in her bed. She turned her computer back on and signed into yahoo messenger. Luke wasn't on but Babbette was.

JavaJunkie: Hey Bab!

Babbabbabette: Hey how's it going sugah?

JavaJunkie: Oh he don't talk much on here.. He's got this girlfriend on here.. I think her name is Lulu… LOL He talks to his girlfriend on this thing so he doesn't bother you much unless she isn't on.

LookImSexyKIRK: Lorelai do you think I'm sexy?

(Lorelai just made herself appear invisible to Kirk)

JavaJunkie: You can just make yourself invisible to him… I just had to.

JavaJunkie: Luke, Do you think I'm sexy?

(Lorelai chuckled to herself)

LukeDanes: geez.

JavaJunkie: that is what Kirk just asked me.

LukeDanes: Oh I see. What did you tell him?

JavaJunkie: Do you think I'm hot?

LukeDanes: what? Damn I don't know how to make myself invisible.

JavaJunkie: Do you want to cyber?

LukeDanes: Oh geez! I don't know what that is.

JavaJunkie: LOL that is what Kirk does when he gets on here.

LukeDanes: Cyber sounds fun.

JavaJunkie: It could be fun.

LukeDanes: Well Let's Cyber.

JavaJunkie: Oh boy.

JavaJunkie: Ok. You sure you want to cyber?

LukeDanes: LOL… should I be afraid?

JavaJunkie: Ok. You asked for it.

JavaJunkie: I'm lying on my bed wearing a black low-cut cami. Nothing else. My hair is still damp and my skin is still moist from the heat of the shower. I look at you and moan your name….

LukeDanes: woah

JavaJunkie: I'm blushing over here… you're the one that wanted to cyber.

JavaJunkie: Luke are you there?

JavaJunkie: EWWWW GROSS!!! No. I don't cyber. I was just showing you what it is.

LukeDanes: You sounded pretty good at it.

JavaJunkie: Well thanks. LOL

LukeDanes: You know talking on this can get you into trouble right?

JavaJunkie: No why?

LukeDanes: Well it's real easy to say what is on your mind and not think about something before you say it.

JavaJunkie: I'm always like that.

LukeDanes: Yeah, but I really almost got myself into trouble.

JavaJunkie: How's that?

LukeDanes: Now if I said that I would be getting myself into trouble.

JavaJunkie: So do you think you might ever want to cyber?

LukeDanes: That's one thing that could get me into trouble.

JavaJunkie: haha. I know what you mean…. it is easier on here to say what your thinking… I'm dirty.

(Lorelai clicked to check her email)

One new message from Rory

Received from: Don't go see Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

Mom, that movie ranks up there with Bad Santa. I'm telling you. The actresses these days… they should have their own sitcom. LOL

Anyway, I'm just warning you of that movie. My luck they will make a 2nd one and I'll have to go see it just because. You are going with me to that one! So how did your night online with Luke go? LOL.. Did Kirk get on tonight? HAHA he got on last night and drove me crazy… I had to make myself invisible to him.

Well Take it easy mom. Don't stay up to late!

Love ya!

Rory.

(Lorelai clicked reply to Rory)

Send to: Re: Don't go see Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

LOL. Ok I have to see this movie now. Just tell me something little girl, what was so bad about the movie Bad Santa?

Anyway, talking to Luke was fun. I didn't realize it but I stayed up until about midnight talking to him. He's kinda fun online. He lets things slip and it's funny to hear him try to cover up what he says. LOL

Well I'm going to bed kiddo.

Love ya!

Mom

(Lorelai signed offline)

Lorelai turned off her computer. She turned the lights off and went to bed thinking about Luke and computers.

Babbette made mental note of tonight's online activities involving Luke and Lorelai. She decided against calling Miss Patty yet. She did however make plans to get back online tomorrow night.

END OF CHAPTER 1.

A/N: So tell me what you think! I had fun writing this. It's definitely different. This is the first story I'm doing featuring instant messages and email. This is also the first story that I am doing from Lorelai's perspective… in the past I have had a difficult time coming up with dialogue for her, but this time I have found it easier. Hopefully I'm not biting off more than I can chew with this one, but I am eager to begin another chapter. Thanks for Reading and I hope you enjoyed it. Let me know what you think!
