A/N Hey, guys! Thanks for all the reviews! Shout outs:

It's Lorelai not Lor- Thank you so much! I hope this is quick enough!

Kristen- Last chapter was sad. I'm glad you still enjoyed it though. 7.05 definitely deserves an Oy with the poodles already. It was depressing. Chris is so annoying. Luke should have let her see April, I agree. There's a spoiler that goes along with that if you want it. It's actually good, so, yah. Anyways, thanks for the awesome review!

CharmedGurlie- It won't be long before L/L get back together. Only a little bit longer; I promise. Sookie is awesome. I hope she continues to hate Chris. I think it's hilarious. Thanks for reviewing!

Sarahb2007- "Paris…the city not the person" that was hilarious! I too am anxious to see Lorelai's reaction to Paris. Thanks so much for reviewing!

Christine Writer- Thanks!

Christi06- In the last chapter I wrote Luke looks at Rory quickly, realizing what she might be thinking. He shakes his head, letting her know that it is not true. He and Rachel were not dating. They kind of shared an unspoken message that he and Rachel weren't dating, or that's what I was going for at least. Thanks for reviewing!

4everJavaJunkie- I'm glad you like my Rory. I felt that Rory was kind of a different person in seasons 5 and 6 and so far 7. I love the Rory in the first season. Thanks so much for reviewing!

Eaglesfreak17- Nope, you aren't missing much at all. I agree about the Chris can die thing. Thanks for reviewing!

LorLukealways- You can definitely always tell when Emily has something up her sleeve. I love it. Thanks for reviewing!

Bianca89- I got the hint. Thanks! I am really considering that. It's a possibility. Thanks so much for the review!

Disclaimer- I own it as much as Kirk is normal, which is definitely saying something. I don't own it. Please don't sue.

"We should go out…paint the town!" Lorelai exclaims, raising her fist in the air for effect.

"Yes, we should!" Rory exclaims, following her mother's example.

"I mean, just because we don't have boy-friends doesn't mean we should sit home on a Saturday night!" Lorelai says.

Rory nods her head emphatically. "Exactly!"

"So, any ideas?" Lorelai asks.

Rory shakes her head grimly. "Nope."

Lorelai sighs. They had been sitting on the couch eating junk food for the past 2 hours. It was now eight, and they had nothing to do. "Saturday night has been date night for at least one of us for the past almost year." She says.

Rory nods her head. "Yep."

"So," Lorelai asks. "what should we do?"

Rory shrugs. "Tell me more about my great-grandmother." Rory suggests.

"I've already told you all I know about her." Lorelai says.

"Try to tell me more, though. I mean, she's coming to visit in a few days, a woman I haven't even met yet. I need to know more about her." Rory says.

"Well, she drives Mom crazy." Lorelai says, smirking at memories.

Rory rolls her eyes. "Yah, I think I got that." She says, remembering the way Emily panicked as soon as Richard told her the news that her mother-in-law was coming.

"Um…she hates elephants." Lorelai says.

"Really?" Rory asks, completely intrigued as she was sure there was some exciting story to go along with that fact.

"I don't know, but it's a possibility. I mean, how many people do you hear say that elephants are there favorite animal?" Lorelai asks.

Rory looks confused. "A lot, actually."

Now it was Lorelai's turn to look confused. "Really?" She asks.

"Everyone in my second grade class liked elephants." She says.

"So?"

"So, what?" Rory asks.

"So, what second graders liked doesn't really count. Their brains aren't fully developed yet." Lorelai says.

"What does that have to do with their opinions?" Rory asks.

"A lot. I mean, how else would you explain why some people like Britney Spears's music or Justin Timberlake's?"

"So, if an adult told you they liked 'Oops, I did it again', you would think that their brain wasn't fully developed?" Rory asks.

Lorelai shrugs. "It's the only logical thing." She says.

Rory raises an eyebrow. "Clearly."

"Maybe not their whole brain, that's too mean. Maybe just half." She says.

Rory looks at the clock. "You do realize we just spent 15 minutes talking about elephants, Britney Spears, and Justin Timberlake?" She asks.

"Not about Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake, just about how if people listen to them, they only have a half developed brain." Lorelai corrects.

"Not much better." Rory says.

"A little bit better." Lorelai says.

"Yah, a little bit better." Rory says, nodding her head meekly.

"I hate this stupid computer!" Lorelai exclaims.

Michel stood back, having learned his lesson never to annoy Lorelai if she was fighting or broken up with Luke. It never ended well.

Lorelai sighs and closes her eyes, trying to calm herself down. "Michel, come over here, and fix the damn computer." She says, her eyes still closed.

Unable to answer politely, Michel retorts. "Did you press the right button?" He asks, his accent thick.

Lorelai sighs loudly. Bad move. "Just fix it, okay?" She says, obviously irritated with him. The phone rings. "Michel, please answer the phone first."

"Jeez. You don't take your anger out on Rory or Sookie. You only take it out on me, where I have to hear it for 9 hours a day." He grumbles.

"The phone, Michel." Lorelai reminds him.

"It's your mother. Something about a hat rack." He says. "My job is to answer business phone calls, not pleasure."

"Trust me. It won't be." Lorelai retorts and picks up to phone. "Hi, mom."

"Lorelai, I need you to bring the hat rack your grandmother got us." Emily says quietly.

"So, that went well, right?" Rory asks as they come out of Friday Night Dinner with Gran. Lorelai puts an arm around Rory's shoulders. "Do you think they liked me?" She asks.

"Nobody could not like you." Lorelai says.

Rory smiles as they get in to the car. "You were mean." She says, laughing slightly.

Lorelai laughs. "It was hilarious! Watching my mother squirm and barely contain herself from yelling at her. It was hilarious." She says.

"I take it you're cheered up." Rory says.

Lorelai looks at Rory quickly, getting defensive. "I didn't need to be cheered up." She says.

Rory nods her head, not wanting to get into an argument over it. "You're right. That's not what I meant." She says.

"Then what did you mean?" Lorelai asks.

"Just that you had a good time tonight." Rory answers.

Lorelai nods. "Sorry." She mumbles.

"It's fine. I understand." Rory says. "You loved it when Gran wouldn't even stay at the table for dessert." She says, lighting the mood.

Lorelai laughs, thankful. "Mom hated it, therefore making it hilarious!" She says.

Rory rolls her eyes and sighs.

Rory and Lane are walking down the street of Stars Hollow while Lorelai is at dinner with Trix, Emily, and Richard.

Rory stops outside the diner door. "Come in with me." She says.

Lane stops talking immediately. "You're going in?" She asks.

Rory shrugs. "I miss Luke. Plus, mom has already said that it's perfectly fine if I talk to him." Rory says.

"Okay." Lane says, excited.

Rory goes to open the diner door but stops and turns around. "Do you think I should go in?" She asks Lane. Before Lane gets a chance to reply, Rory continues. "I mean, even though mom said it's okay, she might not really mean it. She might just be saying that to I don't know…be nice. If I go in, I'll be destroying our solidarity!" Rory rants.

"Rory, I hardly think going into the diner will ruin your solidarity with your mother. She knows that you miss Luke. She wants you to be happy. She knows seeing and talking to Luke makes you happy. You should go in." Lane suggests.

Rory sighs and glances at the diner door warily. "Okay." She says and walks in to the diner. Rory and Lane look around for a moment and find a table to sit at.

"See, this is nice. Everything is fine." Lane comforts.

"Yah, you're right. This is nice." Rory says and grabs a menu.

Meanwhile, Luke is at the counter, serving a customer when he looks up to see Rory and Lane sitting at a table. He stares at them for a few seconds before going over to their table to take their order. "Hey, kid." He greets.

Rory smiles up at Luke, obviously happy to see him. "Hey, Luke." She returns.

He smiles back at her. "Okay, what do you two want?" He asks.

"We'll have two cheeseburgers with extra, extra fries on the side." Lane says, setting her menu down.

Luke writes down their order. "Be right back." He says and heads back into the kitchen.

Luke returns a few minutes later with their. He clears his throat. "Um…how are you, Rory, after um…the break-up?" He asks her comfortably.

Rory smiles softly at Luke's concern. "I'm okay." She answers.

Lane scoffs. Rory gives her a look. "Really?" Luke asks skeptically.

"I'm getting there." She answers, this time truthfully.

"Good. That's good." Luke says and pauses a moment before asking his next question. "How is…how is she?" He asks.

Rory sighs, not knowing whether or not to answer this question truthfully. "She's…heartbroken, Luke." She answers. "But she's hanging in there."

Luke looks down and nods his head, not knowing how to respond. "Well, I, uh, I better get back to work." He says.

Rory nods. "Okay." She replies before he turns and walks away. She let out a breath. "Well, that was awkward." She says.

"It was sweet that he asked how you and Lorelai were." Lane says.

Rory smiles gently. "Yah, it was." She answers.

"He still loves Lorelai." Lane says, observing Luke.

"I know he does. She still loves him. A lot." Rory answers. She sighs when she reads who has paged her. "I have to go. Paris is having some sort of crisis." Rory says and gets up.

"School?" Lane asks.

Rory gets a confused look as she reads the message. "Actually, I think it's a fashion crisis."

"Are you sure it's the right Paris?" Lane asks jokingly.

"Paris?" Rory calls when she enters the house.

"Where the hell have you been?" Paris exclaims, standing up from where she was seated on the couch.

Rory points to the door. "How did you get in here?" She asks. She sees the extremely infuriated look Paris is giving her and responds. "Never mind. I don't even want to know." Rory says and throws her coat on the couch.

"Where were you? I've been sitting here for 20 minutes!" Paris says.

"I was eating dinner, Paris, which I couldn't finish because I got a page from some crazy person insisting that I come back to my house immediately, where she has broken in!" Rory says.

Paris scoffs. "I didn't break in." She says.

Rory sighs. "What do you need help with?" Rory asks.

"I have no idea what to wear on my date with Tristan!" She says.

Rory sighs and takes Paris upstairs to Lorelai's room. "Pick out what you want to wear." Rory says and sits down on her mother's bed and crosses her arms over her chest.

Paris starts sorting through Lorelai's clothes, trying to find something to wear. "What's all these flannel shirts doing in here?" She asks.

"Oh, those were, um…Luke's." She says.

Paris looks at her. "Were Luke's?" She asks.

"Well, my mom kind of stole them." Rory says.

"That's…weird." Paris answers.

"Not as weird as someone breaking into your house and then claiming they didn't break in." Rory says, hoping to get off the Luke topic.

Paris grabs an outfit from the closet. "How about this?" She asks, holding up a skirt and pink top.

"Perfect." Rory responds. "Go try it on." She says and points to the bathroom.

Lorelai gets home later that night after having dinner with Gran, still dazed about what was offered to Rory and then taken away, all in a matter of a few hours.

She sees Rory sitting on the couch, studying. "Hey, babe." She says and sits down next to her.

"How was tea?" Rory asks.

"Well, actually, you were offered 250,000 dollars, and then it was taken away from you." Lorelai opens.

"What?" Rory asks. Lorelai smiles at her and puts her arm around her shoulders.

A/N Yes, this was a filler chapter. I'm sorry. However, something big happens in the next two episodes for this story, so this was kind of setting up for that. I hope you liked it, despite its length. Did everyone have a good Halloween? Please review this chapter! The more reviews, the faster the chapters come and the sooner Luke and Lorelai get back together (in this story at least) Please review!
