A Newfound Love for Mazes

Summary: Oneshot. Java Junkie. Luke and Lorelai meet in the Hay Bale Maze and the spark returns. Literally.
A/N: My first oneshot! Who knows? Maybe I'll turn it into a chapter story if it gets picked up (i.e. REVIEWS!!). I just got inspired by tonight's episode. So enjoy!

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Chapter Two: Ribbons

A/N: Per your request, I shall keep on writing this! But only if you keep reviewing. Otherwise I will write one more chapter and finish the story, so the fate of this fic is in your hands!

Going back to Luke's apartment to get the address for Rachel, Lorelai looked at the framed picture at his bedside table. It was a picture of them kissing in front of the Dragonfly.

Smiling to herself, she declared, "We'll send this one to Rachel."

Luke walked over to where Lorelai was standing, chuckling as he saw the picture. "You sure?" he asked. After seeing Lorelai nod emphatically, he shrugged in acquiescence. "Fine, but we'll need to replace that picture somehow."

"What do you mean?" Lorelai tore her eyes away from the picture and turned to look at Luke. "Replace it how?"

"With a new picture," Luke answered as he gently lifted the frame from her hands and walked over to the desk to start wrapping it. "Like, maybe we could take another picture in front of the inn, or we could even take it at a party or a wed—" Luke cut off abruptly as he remembered what caused their break up—both times. Coughing to cover his disappointment, he quickly said, "Anywhere's fine, just as long as it's candid…"

His little slipup did not go unnoticed by Lorelai, whose face softened at the mention of a wedding and pain flickered across her features before she composed herself. Getting an idea, she went up behind her newly reinstated boyfriend and hugged him from behind, giving him a slight squeeze of reassurance. "I was thinking…" she started as she massaged his shoulders. "What do you think about sending Rachel a letter along with that picture?"

"A letter?"

"Yeah, a letter."

"Who would write it?" Luke turned around, smirking.

Rolling her eyes, Lorelai replied, "Fine, I'll write it! Scooch!" Lorelai ushered Luke out of the seat of the desk and set to work. She wrote three words on the first piece of paper and, in a burst of frustration, furiously erased them. Repeating this process many times, Lorelai eventually ripped through the paper, making her scrunch it into a ball and angrily pelt it in the general vicinity of the waste basket.

Luke watched the show with an amused look on his face for about fifteen minutes, when he finally just read a book until his girlfriend went up and tapped him on the shoulder two hours later. He looked up to find a frazzled Lorelai staring at him in triumph. "Did you finish it?"

"You bet I did!" She held up the letter as if it were a trophy. "You wanna read it?" Lorelai waved it in his face trying to taunt him.

"Sure." Luke took the letter and started reading.

Dear Rachel,

Hey! How are you? It's Lorelai! It's been a really long time since I've seen you. I think the last time I saw you, you were looking for Luke. He told me when you left but he never told me why…why did you leave? Sorry, I'm just really curious.

Oh, hey! Speaking of Luke, guess what? We're together now! We were actually together for a while two years ago but then my mother interfered and got Rory's father in the picture; he got drunk and broke up Luke and me. I won't get into all the gory details, but the town put up ribbons to show support for either Luke or me. It was badthat pretty much sums it up. Anyway, after we got back together, Rory decided to drop out of Yale! All because Mitchum Huntzberger told her she didn't have "it" to make it in journalism. Anyway, so she stole a yacht and dropped out (got 300 hours of community service) and I went to Luke and told him and he was trying to find a way to keep her in school. He was so supportive and I ended up asking him to marry me. Crazy, isn't it?

So he said yes, and we got engaged and all that jazz. But then, guess what? Luke finds out he has a daughter! Can you believe it? So that started a whole array of problems and, long story short, the engagement got called off and I married another guy…Rory's father actually. Ironic, huh?

Well, we got divorced—not just because I still had lingering feelings for Luke, although it played a huge role—and Luke and I started becoming friends again. Then, today, we met in this big hay bale maze—don't ask—and got back together as of about two hours ago! And our engagement's back on, but don't tell him! He doesn't know yet!

Love,

Lorelai Gilmore

Luke didn't see that last part of the letter, seeing as he was simply skimming over the piece of paper, and handed it back to Lorelai grunting something about it being good. Lorelai, knowing Luke, crossed her arms and asked, "You didn't actually read it, did you?" When he shook his head, Lorelai, in exasperation, pointed to the last two sentences. "Read!"

Luke complied, eyes bugging when he realized what it said. "Seriously?!" He gripped the letter in his tense hands and waved it in Lorelai's face. "Is this true?" he demanded.

"I was thinking ribbons for the theme. What do you think?" Lorelai smirked. Luke wrapped his arms around Lorelai, kissing her like mad.

"What do I think?! I think--no! Oh, shit!" Luke sprinted down and out the diner and across the street.

"What the hell was that about?" Lorelai asked herself, following him out.

A/N: I love you! I'm sorry its kinda short, but I just tried to get one out right after exams were over so pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaase review!
