Thanks for the reviews, follows and faves! I'm glad you're enjoying this! :) Here's chapter 3!

Chapter 3

"I don't want to get rid of anything! I wear everything in here!" Lorelai whined looking at her closet full of her clothes.

"Mooomm! You only wear like a third of those clothes. You were the one who organised this charity rummage sale. You sort of need to donate some stuff!" Rory said.

"But..."

"No buts!" Rory interrupted her. "Right all this is going." She said taking a handful of her clothes out of her closet. "Now you go through some clothes and you better bring some down!" She said leaving the room.

Lorelai pouted but started going through her drawers.

Rory went downstairs and started to sort through things with Lane.

"Picture with a cat?" Lane questioned.

"You never know, someone might like it..." Rory said doubtfully.

"So you managed to get your mom to cave then and donate some clothes?" Lane smirked.

"Nope but I just took them. Only way." Rory smirked.

"Brutal but admirable." Lane laughed.

Just then Luke came in with some things to donate. "Hello?"

"Oh hey Luke!" Rory smiled.

"Oh hey Rory! Got some things here. Where do you want them?" He asked.

"What have you got?"

"Some clothes and some kitchen stuff."

"Ok well clothes can go right there and the kitchen things in the kitchen." Rory smiled.

"Ok." He said dumping the clothes and then going to the kitchen. He reappeared after a minute. He awkwardly hovered in the hallway. "Um is your mom here?" He asked.

Rory smiled. She knew her mom had accepted the invitation for dinner but they had yet to set a date yet. "Yeh she's upstairs trying to make herself part with some of her clothes! I told her not to come down if she didn't bring any down." Rory grinned.

"Oh right."

"Go on up if you want! If you can hurry her along, it would be appreciated. Tell her we need help getting all this sorted seeing as she's the one who should be in charge!" Rory joked.

"Will do!" Luke said. He went upstairs to find her.


Lorelai was desperately pulling things out her drawers when she heard a chuckle from the doorway.

"Oh hey!" She grinned.

"Having trouble?" He smirked.

"Yeh and Rory's banished me up here until I donate some of these!" Lorelai pouted.

Luke smirked. "Yeh and she told me to tell you to hurry up so you can go down and help her."

"Urghhh..." Lorelai groaned.

"Need some help?" Luke chuckled.

"What do you know about clothes?" She joked.

"Well I happen to notice what you wear regularly so I can tell you the things you don't and then you can donate them." He said.

Lorelai looked up. "You take note of what I wear?" She asked, her eyes twinkling.

Luke felt himself blush. "No, well I sort of notice these things. You always look nice."

Lorelai smiled. "Flattery will get you everywhere."

After several minutes, they managed to come up with a pile of clothes that Lorelai could donate,

"Um are you free tonight?" Luke asked as they were about to go back downstairs.

"Um yeh I think so." Lorelai smiled.

"Ok good. Well maybe we could have that dinner tonight?" He said.

"That'd be nice." She smiled.

"Ok so pick you up at 7?"

"7's fine."

They smiled at each other and went back downstairs.

"Oh wow you actually got her to get rid of stuff! Thanks Luke!" Rory joked and took the clothes from her mom.

"Hey! Who is it that won't part with any of her books?" Lorelai said.

"That's different!" Rory protested.

"I'm going to get going. Good luck with everything!" Luke said. He turned to Lorelai. "See you tonight."

"Yeh see you Luke." She smiled.

"Bye Luke!" Rory said and Lane waved at him.

"So what's tonight?" Rory teased her mom.

"We're going for dinner." She smiled.

"About time!" Rory joked.

Sookie then came running in. "I've got the most amazing news!" She gushed.

"What?" Lorelai said.

"Guess who's got four tickets to The Bangles reunion concert!" She beamed.

"Oh my god you didn't!" Lorelai squealed.

"I did! And I got four as well so you two can come!" She grinned at Lane and Rory.

"Oh my god! I love you Sookie!" Rory grinned.

"When is it?" Lorelai asked excitedly.

"Tonight!" Sookie grinned.

Lorelai's face fell.

"What? What's wrong?" Sookie asked.

"I can't come..."

"What why?"

"I'm going out for dinner with Luke." She said. She had told Sookie about her and Luke.

"Aw well you can't reschedule that..." Sookie said thoughtfully."Hey why don't you invite him to the concert?"

"But you only have four tickets..."

"As much as I'd love to come, I doubt my mom will let me so Luke can have mine if you want." Lane suggested.

Lorelai looked thoughtful. "It's not really his thing though. And it was supposed to be a date. It can't really be a date if my daughter and best friend is there..."

"We'll get other seats then." Rory suggested. "We can exchange the tickets so it can be just you and Luke. I don't care where I sit, so long as I'm there."

"Yeh that's fine with me." Sookie said.

"I don't know..." Lorelai said.

"Mom, Luke will go wherever. He just wants to go out with you. You could always do something after as it starts early." Rory said.

"I guess...I'll go run it past him!" She grinned, running off.

Rory shook her head. "Anything to get out of sorting!" She joked.

Everyone laughed.


Lorelai rushed into the diner. "Luuukkeee..." She said.

Luke looked at him with raised eyebrows. "What?"

"You know tonight..." She said.

Luke's heart sank. Is she going to reconsider? "Yeh?"

"I know you wanted a dinner but how would you fancy going to a concert?"

"A concert?" Luke said amused, just glad she wasn't turning him down.

"Yeh I know it's not your thing but Sookie got these tickets for The Bangles reunion concert tonight and I've always wanted to go. I know it's not your thing but we can do something after or before..." She rambled.

"Ok." He said.

Lorelai stopped. "What?"

"I'll go." He said.

"Really?"

"Yeh, we can always do dinner another night. Like you said, you've always wanted to go to this. You should go and I just um want to spend time with you." He said.

Lorelai smiled. "Thanks!"


That evening, Rory was getting ready to leave.

"You don't have to go with Sookie, you know." Lorelai said.

"It's fine mom. It's your first somewhat unofficial date with Luke. He should take you." Rory smiled.

Lorelai smiled at her daughter. "Meet you after though? We could go to the diner?"

"Sounds good! Have fun mom!" She smiled and left.

A few minutes after Rory left, Luke arrived. Lorelai answered the door. "You look...nice..." She smiled taking in his appearance.

"You look beautiful." He smiled.

They headed off the the concert and even Luke enjoyed it. They had great seats. They managed to talk quite a bit as well and thoroughly enjoyed it.

They met up with Sookie and Rory afterwards and headed back to Stars Hollow. Sookie went home while Rory headed to the diner with Lorelai and Luke. She smiled at their subtle looks and she knew they had enjoyed their nights.

They went into the diner and Luke got them some pie. Luke even sat down with them for a bit but didn't have any pie. After they had finished their pie, Rory excused herself to give them some space.

"I'm going to head home. See you there?" Rory smiled.

"Yeh see you there, hon!" Lorelai smiled.

"See ya Rory!" Luke said.

Rory left and Lorelai looked at Luke. "Thanks for coming tonight. I know it wasn't really your ideal date."

"It was fun. Thanks for inviting me." Luke smiled.

Lorelai smiled. "We can have dinner next time, promise."

Luke chuckled. "Sounds good. How about tomorrow night?"

"Sounds good." Lorelai smiled. She stood up. "I better get going or Rory will start thinking things." She grinned.

"Ah geez Lorelai!" Luke groaned.

Lorelai grinned. "But seriously, I've had fun tonight, especially with you being there."

Luke stood up and smiled at her. They locked eyes for about a minute and then slowly leant forwards and kissed. Their first kiss.

Lorelai smiled. "Wow..."

"Yeh.." Luke smiled.

"I might get used to this." She joked, grinning.

Luke rolled his eyes but chuckled. "See you tomorrow, Lorelai."

"Yeh see you Luke." She smiled and then left.

The smile didn't leave either of their faces that night.

Hope you enjoyed it! :) Wanted to make the first date original but I will have them have dinner as well. Let me know what you think! Your reviews really motivate me! :) Thanks! :D
