Chapter 1: Are you Ready?

Lorelai stood peering in the window, contemplating whether or not to go in. After several minutes she approached the door. She paused again. Suddenly, she grabbed the handle and opened the door.

Luke did not look up, figuring it was Kirk. "What do you want, Kirk?"

"I'm sorry."

"Lorelai! What are you doing here?"

"I'm sorry, Luke. It was all my fault. I cheated on you like Charlie cheated on Claire. I didn't mean to hurt you and I rushed you and you had to deal with April and I was jealous of Anna and I felt like it wasn't going to happen and I didn't want to be alone. I should have bought a gallon of ice cream and ate it all while watching a depressing movie. I shouldn't have gone…"

Just then she was interrupted by Luke. "Lorelai it wasn't all your fault. I took part in it too, but how about we forget about it right now. And who are Charlie and Claire?"

"Who are Charlie and Claire? Who are Charlie and Claire?! I'm sorry; did I just hear you ask who are Charlie and Claire? It had to be You! Classic movie, my friend. Ha! To think about not knowing Charlie and Claire. Who are Charlie and Claire! Honestly."

"Oh...kay... Now what do you want?"

"Um…" Lorelai picked up the menu and looked it over for a good five minutes with Luke standing over her shoulder the whole time. "I think I'll have something that's um, well, something that's not on the menu."

"Okay. What'll it be? I'll make you anything you'd like."

"You. I'm going to order one Luke please."

With that, Lorelai walked outside to think about what had just been said in there. A moment later, Luke was standing right in front of her.

"I'd like to order one Lorelai."

"Thank God."

"Are you ready?"

"As long as we take it slow."

"Don't worry about that."

"Do you want to start right now?"

"Start what?"

"Start taking it slow."

"Oh. Sure. Where should we go?"

"Come on. Come with me."

"Oooh! Romantic Luke! I like it!"

Luke and Lorelai went on their "first date" to Sniffy's Tavern where there "first" first date was. Afterwards, they came back to the diner so Lorelai could have a cup of coffee. When she was finished, they headed upstairs. Luke stopped halfway up to ask Lorelai a question.

"Do you still want to 'take it slow'?" he asked.

"Hmm..., you know, I'm totally reconsidering that whole thing."

They continued up the stairs into Luke's apartment.

At 2 am, the door of Logan's apartment opened to reveal a drunk Logan. Rory was sleeping peacefully in his bed until this moment. This was the second time in a week that he had gotten home late and drunk. Rory lost her temper, stomped out of bed, and over to Logan.

"Logan! Where have you been?! I was worried sick! You said you were getting home at nine, not two! I finally decided to go to sleep, figuring you were off doing something stupid! I'm leaving!"

"Ace! Wai…" But Rory had already left.

Rory was holding a pillow, which she through to the floor and stormed out. She drove around aimlessly for about an hour; the whole time she was thinking of the perfect place to go. Then it came to her. Home. She arrived at her house, and to her surprise, Lorelai was nowhere to be found. She decided to crash in her bed anyway. She would worry about Lorelai in the morning. Because it was 3:30 am she fell asleep so quickly. Before she knew it she was waking up to the sound of the front door closing. She got up to unpleasantly greet who she knew was Lorelai.

"Where have you been?" Rory shouted for the second time in a four hour time span.

"Gee Mom, what are you doing here?"

"I was at Logan's waiting for him to get home from Las Vegas and he was supposed to get home at nine but he didn't get home till two and it wasn't just that he got home at two but he was drunk!"

"Oh no! Rory that sounds awful!"

"It was and it happened earlier this week too."

"What are you going to do about it?"

"Uhh… I don't know. I am just going to forget about it for right now and I'll decide later. I need to think. Things like this have been happening so much lately and it makes me so frustrated! So, where were you until 6 am?"

"Oh, me? Me. Well… Me? I was well, um, enough about me lets talk more about your situation."

"You know what, Mom; I have talked enough of Logan. I've seen enough of him, I've heard enough of him, and I am tired of him and his 'blowing off steam.' So now you HAVE to tell me where you were. I am dying to know!"

"Okay. Promise you won't get mad?"

"Uh-oh, that means you thought I would get mad which means it's something bad, but you are my mom and I am always on your side. So, yes, I promise I won't get mad."

"Well, to make it short, me and Luke are back together!"
