0.5 Summer Lovin'
"You know what this diner needs, Mr. Luke?"
"No, but I'm sure that not even a tidal wave through Stars Hollow will stop you from telling me."
"Music."
Luke looked up. Raine was smiling eagerly at him. Jess stayed out of it. Ceasar didn't even hear them.
"As long as it doesn't sound like Godzilla attacking, Lucifer raising hell, or World War III army troops, I'll go with it."
Before Raine could move, Jess had already bounded up the stairs. He came back with a portable stereo and a small crate of his CD's.
"And as long as Jess doesn't own the CD."
"Oh, come on!"
"I've heard the crap you listen to. I won't have you spreading your music-that-sounds-like-people-dying-while-doing-it music."
"Then what do you want? Rory borrowed my Hanson CD."
Raine snorted. Jess and Luke glanced pointedly at her.
"Sorry. The Hanson thing was funny. Ah, I can get some of my CD's. Just give me a few minutes. Um, can somebody drive me to the Independence Inn?"
"Ah, crap. Forget it. No music. Get to work."
"Mr. Luke! No!"
Luke ignored her and went into the kitchen to make some food.
Raine just stood there hopelessly until an idea came to mind.
Jess' mouth turned up when he noticed Raine's shoulder twitching slightly. She'd done this before, and it looked like she was going to do it again.
"Summer lovin', had me a blast…"
He turned as Kirk slowly stood up.
"Summer lovin', happened so fast… oh, damn, we need to switch parts, Raine."
"Let loose, Kirk."
"I met a girl, crazy for me."
Raine walked towards him like Sandy did with Danny.
"Met a boy, cute as can be."
"Summer days, drifting away, to uh, oh, those summer nights."
Babbette stood up and started doing the chicken dance thing.
"A-wella, wella, wella, tell me moah! Tell me moah! Tell me moah! Did you get very fah?"
Then Miss Patty started to join in, "Tell me more, tell me more, tell me more, like, does he have a car?"
"She swam by me, she got a cramp;"
"He went by me, got my suit damp;"
"I saved her life, she nearly drowned;"
"He showed off, splashing around;"
"Summer sun, something's begun, but uh-oh those summer nights."
Luke came out, saw the sight, and sighed deeply.
"Tell me more, tell me more, was it love at first sight?"
"Tell me more, tell me more, did she put up a fight?"
"Took her bowlin' in the Arcade;"
"We went strollin', drank lemonade;"
"We made out under the dock;"
"We stayed out until ten o'clock;"
"Summer fling don't mean a thing, but uh-oh those summer nights."
People stopped eating and focused all their attention to Raine, Kirk, Babbette, and Miss Patty.
"Tell me more, tell me more, that you don't got to brag."
"Tell me more, tell me more, cause he sounds like a drag."
"He got friendly, holdin' my hand;"
"Well she got friendly, down in the sand;
"He was sweet, just turned eighteen;"
"Well she was good, if you know what I mean;"
"Summer heat, boy and girl meet, but uh-oh those summer nights."
"Tell me more, tell me more, how much dough did he spend?"
"Tell me more, tell me more, could she get me a friend?"
"It turned colder, that's where it ends;"
"So I told her we'd still be friends;"
"Then we made our true love vow;"
"Wonder what she's doin' now;"
They ended the song with a flourish.
"Summer dreams ripped at the seams, but oh, those summer... naa-haaaights!"
"Tell me more, tell me moooooore!"
Everyone in the diner cheered and clapped as the four performers bowed. Luke leaned on the counter.
"Very cute."
"We have a second number, Mr. Luke."
"Jess, stick a stupid CD in there. Quick, before she sings again!"
His nephew just had a small grin on him face as he put in an Oasis CD.
"Don't you dare sing with this song, Raine."
"But Mr. Luke! 'You're my wonderwaaa-haaaall…'"
"You know what this diner needs, Mr. Luke?"
"No, but I'm sure that not even a tidal wave through Stars Hollow will stop you from telling me."
