"Please?"
"No."
"Please please please?" Lorelai pleaded, pouting her lips.
"NO!"
"Evil. EVIL. Do you know what happens to evil people like you? They go to the bad place because they're evil."
"No." Luke said flatly.
A few feet away, Rory laughed, watching her mom beg.
"Is she trying to get more coffee?" Jess questioned, placing Rory's pancakes in front of her.
"For once, no. Mom wants Luke to go with her to this party my grandparents are having Saturday," Rory explained.
"On a date?"
"No…just so she doesn't have to find someone they haven't met and will interrogate."
"Poor Luke. He doesn't stand a chance," Jess guessed as Lorelai grabs Luke's ever-present baseball cap and held it hostage.
"Fine," The two teens heard Luke concede.
"YAY!" Lorelai's high-pitched squeal caused every patron of Luke's Diner to look at her with concern.
"I'm not crazy," Lorelai explained, "I'm fine. I'm great! I'm fant-"
"Leave now. You're scaring all the customers," Luke said.
"Fine. I'll be back though. To make plans. PLANS! Wee!" Lorelai grinnned, and exited, waving to Rory.
"She's leaving you?" Jess asked.
"No. Dean's meeting me. You can come to the party with us if you want," Rory saied.
"I'd rather have my head sat on by Taylor," Jess said, dead serious.
"Because of Dean?" Rory asked.
"Yes, and because what you have told me about your grandparents, I just don't think I'd have fun. I'd be like Rhett at the Wilkes party."
"Hey Ror," Dean said as he entered the diner, leaning over and kissing Rory's cheek.
"Hey Dean!" Rory broke into a wide grin.
"Jess," Dean saide as he sat down.
"Bye Rory," Jess walked away, not acknowledging Dean's presence.
"God I hate him," Dean frowned.
"Just forget it," Rory pleaded, digging into her pancakes. Dean laughed at her pudging cheeks.
"Wha?" Rory said with her mouth full.
"Nothing," Dean said innocently, "So this party…does it involve a tie?"
"Uhtux," Rory mumbled incoherently.
"A what?"
"Um. A tux?" Rory said apologetically.
"Like your coming out thing? THAT kind of tux?"
"No! No gloves. Or hat. Or tails."
"Well that's just great then," Dean sighed.
"It'll be okay, I swear. I'm going to wear a frilly dress and look like a tulip, you'll look like a penguin, we'll mock the old people and then go home and watch ET."
"Sounds like fun," Dean smiled, stealing a sip of Rory's coffee.
"EXCUSE ME MR! No one touches the coffee!" Rory scolded her boyfriend, lightly slapping Dean's palm.
"Ow."
"It didn't hurt."
"My pride, oh my pride," joked Dean.
"Okay, I'm done. Let's go," Rory said. She stood up, and grabbed her coat.
"Um, don't we have to pay?" Dean said, confused.
"BYE LUKE!" Rory waved, skipping out the door.
"No."
"Please please please?" Lorelai pleaded, pouting her lips.
"NO!"
"Evil. EVIL. Do you know what happens to evil people like you? They go to the bad place because they're evil."
