I have it all planned out…at least the main story line. Just as pre-warning, JavaJunkie will be the very main pairing in this story. There will be implied Dean/Rory just because it goes along with the story line and the original story line but do not think I'm Dean/Rory fan. No. Okay well now for this story. Yay.

Summary: Rachel comes back much sooner, and this time, it's expected.

Chapter 1

Lorelai and Rory were on their way to their usual breakfast spot of the morning, for some coffee and...well breakfast.

"Can brains hurt?" Rory asked, as her and Lorelai entered the diner, having their usual fun and light conversation.

"Yes, it's hypochondria hour." Lorelai said as they took their seats at a table near the window.

"No, I'm serious, last night when I was reading my Biology chapters, I distinctly heard a ping in the vicinity of my brain." Rory said reaching a hand up to touch her head.

"Your brain…pinged." Lorelai said, making sure she had heard Rory correctly.

"Yeah. It just went like 'dink'." Rory explained.

"Well then, honey your brain dinked, it didn't ping." Lorelai joked.

"Well I don't think a dinking brain is any less worrisome than a pinging brain." Rory said, sounding kind of worried for own self.

"Well, you got me there." Lorelai said sarcastically.

"So should I go to a tumor doctor?" Rory asked her eyes getting wide in fear.

"No, you don't have a tumor. You're reading too much. You're probably just losing your eyesight." Lorelai joked again, not taking Rory seriously.

"Thank you." Rory said sarcastically.

"Your welcome." Lorelai returned as Luke walked up to their table, "Hey can you take a little constructive critism?" Lorelai directed at Luke.

"No." Luke deadpanned.

"Okay, this place could use a makeover." Lorelai said and smiled at her own suggestion.

"I don't spruce." Luke deadpanned again.

"What do you mean you don't spruce?" Lorelai asked giving Luke an annoyed stare.

"What he means is he won't spruce, that's what he means." Taylor chimed in from the counter.

"Taylor, do not start." Luke warned, not even acknowledging him by turning around.

"Me and the rest of the town beautification committee have been hounding him for years to freshen up the place…maybe a couple of nice zinnia pots out front, some yellow awnings, a peppy little cardboard pig announcing the specials…but he's a mule. He won't talk, he won't reason, he won't spruce. You might as well forget it, Lorelai. I'm forgetting it too." Taylor explained.

"Finally a Taylor Doose position I can get behind." Luke said, silently praying Lorelai wouldn't keep it up, knowing if she did he wouldn't be able to refuse, since he never could.

"Faded paint is a bad reflection on the whole town." Taylor complained still.

"Whatever happened to giving up?" Luke asked, getting more annoyed by every word spoken out of Taylor's mouth.

"When standards slip, families flee and in comes the seedy crowd. You got trouble, my friends." Taylor kept up.

"Right here in River City!" Lorelai joked, trying to lighten Taylor's attack on Luke, after all, it's not like she had been insisting he paint the diner, it was just a thought. If she had known Taylor was going to go at it like this, she wouldn't have even brought it up…or at least she would've waited till when Taylor wasn't around.

"This is not funny, Lorelai." Taylor said, in all seriousness.

"Does anyone want anything?" Luke asked, getting even more annoyed.

"Uh, yes, I do. I want to know why you won't paint this place." Lorelai asked, trying to save Luke from his own misery of having to face Taylor like this again.

"Painting's a pain. I'd have to close the place for a day, which I can't afford, or paint it in the middle of the night, which I don't want to do because I hate painting." Luke complained sighing.

"Okay, how about this? I'll help you. I love to paint." Lorelai said sincerely, and smiled at the thought of getting to spend time with Luke while they painted.

"You do?"

"Yes, I do." Lorelai said, still smiling.

"You love it?" Luke asked, still not convinced, believing she was only doing this to get Luke to agree to paint the diner, then she'd come to the diner to "help" and would end up sitting there watching him paint and end up falling asleep 10 minutes later, causing Luke to feel guilty.

"I want to marry it." Lorelai reassured genuinely.

"You have strange passions." Luke said, finally believing she was telling him the truth.

"She likes washing dishes too. She's mult-faceted abnormal." Rory spoke up, getting tired of having no part in the conversation.

"Ah, come on. We'll drink a couple beers, we'll sing painting songs." Lorelai suggested smiling again at the thought.

"Painting songs?"

"Yeah, painting songs. Like, uh, you know, the song that goes, um..." Lorelai went on to sing her made up song, "Grab your brush and grab your rollers

All you kids and all you...bowlers

We're going paintin' today!" Lorelai stopped singing and took a breath, "Say yes or there's another verse."

"Well I guess maybe...if I had help…" Luke went on to say, he knew he would end up giving in.

"Really? Oh my God! That's wonderful! Hurrah!" Taylor said obviously surprised.

"Taylor, it's not for you. It's for…me." Luke said, restraining himself from saying "Lorelai"

"I can't wait to tell the rest of the committee. They're not going to believe this." Taylor said, excitedly getting up from his stool and making his way out of the diner.

"I hate seeing him pleased." Luke said annoyed as Taylor walked out of the diner.

"Ah, you'll drop a gum wrapper on the street in front of his store later." Lorelai suggested and smiled.

"Yeah, good idea…" Luke said and smiled, the thought of painting with Lorelai during the night crossed his mind again. He couldn't help but smile at the thought. Just him and Lorelai…

XoXoXoX

Lorelai was walking home the next day and saw Luke outside of the diner with Doose's market bags, lots of Doose's market bags. Why does he have all those groceries? Lorelai couldn't help but wonder as he struggled to open the door to the diner with his free hand. Lorelai, being the nosey person she was, decided to go help him, not only because the sight was pathetic, but because she wanted to find out what the deal was.

"Hey, need some help?" Lorelai asked as she approached Luke, who had dropped a grocery bag on the ground and had begun to reach down towards it.

"Yeah, can you just…" Luke said gesturing to the bag, "And…" Luke said gesturing towards the door.

Lorelai opened the door and held it open for Luke, holding the bag of…Campbell's soup, crackers, and Cheese Its in the other. Lorelai followed Luke up the stairs to his apartment, again he asked her to open the door, which she did.

"So Luke, what's all…this for?" Lorelai asked setting the bag down next to where he had put the others.

"Oh, uh, I'm expecting someone next Friday." Luke explained.

"And you bought all this now?" Lorelai asked taking a seat across from Luke at his kitchen table.

"Oh…I didn't realize…" Luke said and scoffed at himself.

"Excited are you? So who is it?" Lorelai asked, obviously curious.

"Oh, just…a friend." Luke explained, uncomfortably.

"Oh…a friend. From?" Lorelai asked, still intrigued.

"Uh…a few years ago. Just an old friend." Luke explained and smiled awkwardly.

"Oh…I see." Lorelai said, followed by an awkward silence. Obviously Luke didn't want to tell her who it was. No worries, she'd just find out from Miss Patty.

"Well I better…" Luke gestured towards the door and stood up.

"Yeah, I better go too." Lorelai said and they both left Luke's apartment, Lorelai more curious than ever as to why Luke wouldn't tell her who was coming to visit him, and Luke hoping he wouldn't have to address it again.

"…No! You're kidding!" Miss Patty said as she was talking to Babette outside of Luke's.

"Nope. She called 'im this morning!" Babette said quietly.

"Wow…after all these years…" Miss Patty trailed off as Lorelai approached them.

"Hi girls! Whatcha talking about?" Lorelai asked, hoping they were talking about who Luke's visitor was.

"Oh, we were just talking about Rachel." Miss Patty said gesturing with her eyes towards Luke in the diner.

"Rachel?" Lorelai asked confused.

"It's Luke's ex-girlfriend. She's comin to visit next Saturday." Babette picked up.

"Really? Ex-girlfriend…" Lorelai trailed off, surprised and obviously jealous. She didn't know why she was jealous actually, it just kind of hit her.

"You're not jealous are you sweetie?" Babette asked, catching her change in expression.

"No, why would I be jealous? I'm not jealous…" Lorelai said not very convincing.

"Oh, nothing." Miss Patty reassured and continued to talk to Babette about some other useless piece of gossip that Lorelai really didn't care about so she zoned out of the conversation and headed off towards her house. Luke's ex-girlfriend? Coming to visit? Why? Well of course to rekindle what is left of her and Luke's flame of course, that's how women are… Lorelai thought to herself and continued to walk absently back to her house.

That's the first chapter, what'd ya think? Review and tell me! I hope you didn't think too much original dialogue in the beginning, but I had to, to set up Lorelai and Luke painting. So yeah…okay well… REVIEW so I'll update.

LOVE KATI.
