AN: I own none of this. Seriously, I'm a teenager. I have my compy, some stuff, but not much else. You think I could own Gilmore Girls? Yeah right! ASP owns all this.

AN: This is set around the time of the Season 2 finale. Christopher is there, and he doesn't know Sherry is pregnant yet. Lorelai isn't with anyone, and neither is Luke. This is L/L all the way! Oh, and Rory is still with Dean, and this is before the kiss with Jess.  Grrr… I'm a Rory/Dean fan. I'd be really appreciative if anyone could write a Rory/Dean story set during the High School days. They were a great couple. But I also like Rory with Marty. Ah! I don't like the main couples with Rory: Rory and Jess and Rory and Logan. Drat.

Prologue:

"Lorelai." Chris said nervously, still sitting on Sookie's porch.

"Yeah Chris?"

"Would you like to go out tomorrow night? You know, to dinner as friends?" Chris asked.

Lorelai hesitated. "I know things are rough with you and Sherry, but a date?" she asked.

Chris shuddered. " Lorelai, it won't be a date. We'll just hang out."

Lorelai remembered. "Tomorrow's the wedding! Chris we have to go to the wedding! And the reception! I can't pull a Ferris Bueller on Sookie! She's my best friend!"

Chris thought a bit. "So how bout I take you out to a movie then ice cream AFTER the reception. The wedding's at…3 right? That'll end at about 4:30ish, then we have the reception. We can leave at about 6:30, and we'll have stayed for a long time. You deserve this!"

Lorelai nodded. "OK."

Chris pulled away from the hug after talking with Rory, hearing his phone ring.

"Shouldn't you answer that? Rory asked, curious as to why someone would be calling him in the middle of a Sunday afternoon.

"It's probably work," he said, turning off the phone. "But now I need to go to a wedding." Chris smiled. Rory did also, walking to the inn, never seeing the eyes watching her. (AN: 2)

"Congratulations, sugar." Babette said, talking to Sookie before walking home with Morey (AN:3)

"Thanks Babette!" Sookie said, glowing with happiness. She hugged Jackson, who was also greeting guests as they left the inn and the reception. Lorelai and Chris finally got to leave. "Bye Lorelai!" Sookie shouted, bouncing with excitement and hanging onto Jackson's arm.

"Bye Sookie!" Lorelai called, while walking with Chris to his Volvo. Lorelai opened the passenger door, and got in. Chris walked around and got in.

"Lor, I know about a good movie theater in Litchfield not far from here. They're showing the original "Star Wars."

Lorelai just nodded, and leaned on the car door as they started moving.

They were almost there, when Lorelai suddenly shouted "LOOK OUT!" Directly in front of the Volvo was a raccoon. Chris slammed the brakes and the car skidded off the road. The last thing Lorelai remembered was screaming as the car skid down the hill. Then everything went black

AN 1: Sorry about the cliffhanger! I know it stinks, but the chapters are a easy break, and I need to separate this from the rest.

AN 2: This is not a Rory/Jess thing. This isn't a Rory/anybody story. It's all Luke/Lorelai. You may not see it now, but it will happen.

AN 3: This is the correct way to spell Morey on the show.

AN 4: I need a beta-reader/writing correspondent badly! Contact me by email if you want the job. The qualifications are: Must have a good grasp of grammer and punctuation, must know about Gilmore Girls, must have outside knowledge, and needs email. (preferably also AIM.)
