"Rory?" Lorelai Gilmore, a young 35 year old woman, screamed as she walked into her house.
"In the kitchen!" She heard her 19 year old daughter yell back.
"Oh my god. You won't even believe what just happened. I'm basically hyperventilating here."
"What? Are you alright?"
"Oh, I'm alright alright."
"Ok then, tell me already!"
"I just kissed…"
"Oh my god! Who?"
"Guess."
"No. It can't be."
"Can't be who? Maybe you're wrong."
"Does he wear flannel shirts every day, a blue backwards baseball cap, and he's grumpy all the time?"
Lorelai smiled the biggest grin Rory had ever seen.
"OH MY GOD!! You kissed Luke!?"
Lorelai started to giggle and nod.
"Mom! That's so amazing!"
Rory got up from the chair she was sitting in at the kitchen table and attacked her mom in a giant hug.
"Thanks kid. I'm pretty happy about it myself."
"So does this mean you two are together now?"
"It could mean that, but we really didn't have too much time to talk after the kiss…or kisses."
"There were more than one!?"
"Yes, two."
Rory sat back down, put her head in her hands, and sighed.
"Wow. Luke. Our Luke. The Luke we see every day of our lives and have seen every day of our lives since I was about 4 years old."
"Yes, that Luke." Lorelai said, grinning.
"But wait," Rory said, suddenly. "Why didn't you have time to talk afterwards? Oh my god, was there sex?"
"No! Better. Well maybe, I don't know, seeing as I've never had sex with Luke before, but anyway, Kirk interrupted us."
"Oh jeez. I bet that went well."
"Well, I don't know if he actually saw us kissing, because he was asleep."
"Huh?"
"Kirk came running down the stairs of the Dragonfly, Luke and I were right in front of the door, so Kirk came down screaming. And he was naked."
"Oh no."
"Oh yes. But he did have a pillow covering himself somewhat."
"That's a relief."
"Trust me. I don't know what I would do if I were forced to see Kirk naked. I would be scarred for life. That image would be burned into my memory."
"Ok, that's enough 'Kirk being naked' talk. Tell me more about your kiss with Luke!"
"Well, let me tell you missy, Luke is an excellent kisser."
"Ooh la la."
"Yes. First he said to me 'Will you just stand still?' so I stood still. He leaned in and kissed me. Right here," Lorelai said, pointing to her lips.
"Oh how romantic!"
"Yeah it was. But that was just a nice light kiss on the lips. I don't know what happened, but my emotions took over and soon enough, I was asking him to stand still and then we were kissing much more passionately than before, and the whole time I was thinking, this is Luke I'm kissing. Luke Danes, grumpiest man alive, and I'm actually enjoying it."
"Wow, impressive."
"I know. So where did you disappear to?"
"Oh, you told me to get CDs remember?"
"Right. Sorry, I forgot. Too much going on."
"Obviously."
There was a knock on the door a moment later.
"I'll get it." Lorelai said, getting up.
She got to the door, opened it and saw Luke, standing there looking perfect. And also looking exactly the same as he did when they kissed. Lorelai suddenly felt the urge to kiss him again, but refrained for the time being.
"Hey." He said, smiling.
