CHAPTER 2

A/N: I got enough reviews about the last chapter that I thought I would try to continue just for them. I think this is a really cute story and I wrote it, it must've been at least a year ago. I'll try to make it as interesting as I think it should be.

Next Day

(We open on Rory's bedroom door, from the inside to see it slowly open. Suddenly it slams open and Lorelai runs in screaming)

Lorelai: GOOD MORNING VIETNAM!!!!

Rory: (groans) What the.... Mom, what time is it?

Lorelai: It's time for you to rise my one and only offspring!

Rory: (groans) Go away. (rolls over and puts her face into her pillow)

Lorelai: (walks over to Rory's bed, sits down, and starts bouncing on the edge) Come on!! It's time to wake up. Ah! (jumps up and runs out when Rory rolls back over and starts swinging her pillow at her)

Rory: (OS) Evil, evil mother. (walks to doorway) You are four. (turns around and walks back into her room)

Lorelai: What's your point?

Rory: (OS) I'm not so sure I like this new side of you.

Lorelai: Oh sweetie come on. You would much rather see me in a good mood than see me being the bane of everyone's existence wouldn't you?

Rory: (walks out of her room fully dressed and ready to go) Good mood? Yes. Acting like a four year old that's had way to much sugar? Not so much. (starts walking out the door) Are you coming?

Lorelai: Oh! Yeah. (turns of coffee pot and runs after Rory) Sookie's meeting us at Luke's this morning too. Is that Okay?

Rory: Yeah. It's fine.

Fade to Black

Lorelai: (Rory and her are walking into the diner) So you have about three loads of laundry that are sitting in the living room folded and ready to go into your dresser. Now there's one load in the washer and another in the dryer that I didn't get to folding this morning because I was to busy cleaning. Oh and I rearranged the movies in the living room according to year they were released as opposed to alphabetically with the titles because I know how much people that alphabetize thing bother you and since you're going to be here all summer I figured we would go to that new movie store in Hartford and check them out to see what all they have that we don't have yet. (they sit down at a table) And I know that we haven't been shopping in awhile so I figured we would go to that new mall they built up there this last fall that is supposed to be like utterly amazing. But I have to go to the inn this morning to see what's going on with Tom because he called me this morning and said that the doors we got are already starting to warp and that wasn't supposed to happen until like next summer so I have to go decide what we're going to go do about that and...

Rory: (cuts her off) Mom!

Lorelai: What sweetie?

Rory: Shut up. (lays her head down on the table)

Lorelai: (bottom lip juts out in classic pout)(looks around) Wow there's like nobody in here this time of the morning.

Rory: MOM! (Lorelai looks at her) If you're going to insist on talking than I can either leave and let you actually sit here and talk to yourself or you can go bother Luke with your annoying jabbering.

Lorelai: (smiles big) Good idea. (stands up and walks up to the counter when she sees no Luke) Hey Ceasar, where's Luke?

Ceasar: He's upstairs. He had me open today.

Lorelai: (disappointed) Oh. Okay.

Ceasar: Would you like some coffee?

Lorelai: Not right now, but I do know that, that little girl over at the table by the door could really use some.

Ceasar: Okay. That I can do.

Lorelai: Thanks Ceasar.

Ceasar: No problem.

(Lorelai gets up and walks towards the curtain dividing the stairs to Luke's apartment and the diner)

(Lorelai knocks on Luke's door and waits. When there's no answer she lets herself in. We hear water running off screen)(she sits down on his couch)(water turns off and the door opens for us to see Luke standing there in nothing but a towel)

Luke: (walks out of the bathroom and to his dresser and starts pulling things out than turns to walk to his bed)(freezes mid stride) JEEZ!! Lorelai what the hell are you doing up here?

Lorelai: Gee thanks. I feel the love. (moves to get up)

Luke: (sees her move) Stop. (she stops) Sit. (she sits back down)

Lorelai: What now I'm your dog?

Luke: (rolls his eyes) Will you stop? Look let me get dressed and I'll join you okay?

Lorelai: (suggestively) OhKay.

Luke: Jeez. (Lorelai grins)(he walks back into his bathroom with his clothes)(OS) So what's going on?

Lorelai: Don't take this wrong but this is incredibly awkward.

Luke: (pokes his upper half out of the bathroom) Why is this awkward? (walks out puling his t-shirt on)

Lorelai: I just can't talk to you while your getting naked in your bathroom.

Luke: Oh that's what's awkward.

Lorelai: Yeah. But now that you're out here (Luke sits with her on the couch) it's not so bad.

Luke: Oh so if I had gotten naked out here in front of you it wouldn't have been awkward?

Lorelai: No it probably still would've been. I just can't help but think of you doing dirty things in there while we're talking. (Luke chuckles)(blushes) Oh my god did I just say what I think I did out loud?

Luke: The dirty things in the bathroom?

Lorelai: Oh God! I did. I'm sorry. I'm not used to having to screen my thoughts before they turn into sentences coming out of my mouth. I'm so sorry...

Luke: (places a finger on her lips to get her to stop talking) It's okay. (leans in and kisses her softly than pulls back)

Lorelai: (grins embarrassed) What was that for?

Luke: I think I just found myself a new way to shut you up.

Lorelai: Ha ha... you just think you're hilarious don't you?

Luke: Yeah well I try. (Lorelai rolls her eyes and shakes her head) What time is it? (looks at his watch) I gotta get down to the diner before everyone and their dogs come in. Are you gonna join me?

Lorelai: Only if I get to be your dog.

Luke: Jeez. What's that supposed to mean?

Lorelai: You feed me scraps from the leftover food and I come along behind you and lick you. (shakes her head when she realizes what she said)

Luke: Ha. That was dirty.

Lorelai: Yeah it was. And I wasn't even trying to be. Maybe Rory was right this morning. (they both walk out of Luke's apartment)

Luke: About what?

Lorelai: I'm acting like a four year old. I've actually only had like 2 cups of coffee this morning. Which is impressive for me. Oh and if we get downstairs and you have a dead twenty year old on one of your tables I'm sorry.

Luke: (Lorelai than Luke walk into the diner. Luke sees Rory lying down on the table passed out) What did you do to her?

Lorelai: I warned you. We stayed up late talking about this fantastic date I had last night.

Luke: (raised eyebrows)(he plays along with her game) Really? (Lorelai nods) Good guy?

Lorelai: (leans in closer) Great guy. (touches his arm) I've known him for years it just never occurred to me that he could be someone that I could date.

Luke: Huh. That's good. I mean for you. Obviously this guy has no idea what he's gotten himself into.

Lorelai: Oh... Ouch. Thanks a lot Luke. (leans away. Luke grabs her wrist and she looks at him)

Luke: I'm just messing with you. I think that he's a very lucky guy. (stares into her eyes. They lean in and he kisses her softly)

Rory: Aw. How cute.

Lorelai: (they split. Luke blushes and Lorelai turns to face Rory) Yeah I know. (hops down and goes to sit next to her) I think that was kinda cute. The way he blushed like that. It was adorable. So did Ceasar get you your coffee?

Rory: Yes. Apparently some magic coffee fairy told him that I was short on energy and needed the miracle that is Luke's coffee. Thank you fairy godmother.

Lorelai: You're very welcome my dear. (bell jingles) SOOKIE!!

Sookie: Hi girls. (sits down)

Rory: Hi Sookie. Welcome to the Lorelai show. Where everyone looks at you like you're high.

Sookie: Oh. That kind of morning huh?

Rory: She's done this for you before?(Lorelai is trying to do that trick where the spoon stays on your nose)

Sookie: Oh yeah. (looks at Lorelai) Okay maybe not quite this bad. (Lorelai is trying to juggle now)

Lorelai: Do you know what one female turkey said to the other on Thanksgiving? (Sookie and Rory look worriedly at Lorelai) I wonder which one of us is gonna get eaten today. (giggles) (Rory shakes her head disgustedly)

Luke: (walks up to them) What can I get you ladies today? (Lorelai chuckles quietly) What's with her?

Rory: You. You're what's with her today. She's been like a freaking giddy little kid on Christmas Day. Just waiting to be able to open the good presents.

Luke: I'm sorry Rory.

Lorelai: You missed my funny joke.

Luke: Which one is that?

Rory: No please don't make her repeat it. If you do make her wait until I leave. Do you know what time she woke me up this morning? Just because she couldn't wait to be here and see you.

Luke: What time?

Rory: 6 AM. 6 o'clock in the freaking morning!! I have never voluntarily woken up that early since I started high school. Ever!! And imagine this she was up for awhile before she finally woke me up!

Luke: Well at least she let you sleep after she woke up right? (Rory gives him a pointed look) Right. Sorry.

Rory: Picture this if you will. She told me that I have three loads of laundry folded and ready to go into my dresser, one in the washer and one in the dryer. However when I went to bed last night it was all in my room on the floor sorted out ready to go in the morning so I could do it when I had time. I wake up and half of my clothes are already washed. Plus she rearranged the living room by herself, and cleaned everything in the house spotless. Even the stove which is never used.

Luke: Rory. Go home. Go back to bed. I will keep her here as long as I can.

Lorelai: (grins) Dirty.

Rory: (gets up) Bye! (runs out the door)
