A/N- Wow! Thanks for all the reviews. As promised, here is the next
chapter.
Chapter Nine- Blue Hair and Breakfast
Luke turned around quickly at the sound of Lorelai's gasp. "Oh, uh, hi Lorelai. I uh, just came by to make you some breakfast, cause I know that you like breakfast, and I thought I could come over, um to make you breakfast." Lorelai didn't say anything. Her mouth just hung open in surprise.
Luke went on. "And I came to a-apologize. I know that for the past month I've been sort of distant and well, a complete jerk. I saw the note from Sookie and the picture and it reminded me of how we used to be and I, well, I missed it. I'm sorry about the way I've been acting. I know you apologized so many times. But I kept on thinking 'the only person who I could trust and depend on wasn't on my side about something so important.' Everyone in town hated Jess and hated me for taking him in. To think that the only person I trusted hated him too, that just made me so angry. I know I shouldn't have held my grudge for as long as I did, and I regret that. Every time you apologized, I wanted to say that I forgave you but I couldn't bring myself to do it. But now I can so, can you accept my apology?" Luke looked at Lorelai with a sort of embarrassed and hopeful expression.
Lorelai ran across the kitchen at full speed and hugged Luke with a force that would have knocked him down if he weren't leaning against the counter. Luke put his arms around Lorelai awkwardly. "Of course I forgive you!" Lorelai said into Luke's shoulder. "You wouldn't believe how many times I've hoped that you'd forgive me! Thanks so much Luke."
Lorelai pulled back for a second and looked into Luke's eyes. For the first time ever, she saw something in them that she never noticed before. Love. Without a thought, Lorelai found herself leaning in closer and closer toward Luke's lips. Before Lorelai could reach him Luke pulled back.
"The pancakes are burning," he explained and turned his back to Lorelai.
Lorelai decided that what just happened shouldn't have to spoil her mood. She was so thankful that Luke forgave her, so she stood next to Luke and watched him make the pancakes. Luke looked up and smiled at her. Lorelai smiled back.

"Where is he?" Rory whined to Jess after finishing her third cup of coffee.
"He's only been gone for twenty minutes. Give him time." Jess said.
Rory looked closely at Jess. "Time for what? You know where he is, don't you?"
Jess started squirming. "No. Luke doesn't tell me anything. How would I know where he went?"
"You do know. Where is he? Tell me Jess, tell me pleeeeeeeeeaaaaaaase." Rory begged.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Jess lied. "Look, I have work to do." Jess started walking to the kitchen. Rory followed, begging for Jess to tell her where Luke went.
After ten minutes of begging and following, Jess gave in. "Fine, fine. He went to your moms house to make her breakfast or something."
"WHAT?!?!? Oh my God! Finally, it's been like five years since they stopped talking. This is so great!" Rory said with delight. As fast as Rory's mood changed to happy, it changed back to sad and grumpy. "Wait, Luke's not gonna be back soon. He's making my imom/i breakfast. Do you know how long it's gonna take him to finish making all that food? We're not gonna be able to leave for another six hours. This sucks."
Jess started to walk away. "Where are you going?" Rory asked.
"I'm going to find Caesar." Jess said as he walked behind the counter.
"Why?" Rory asked as she followed him.
"We're leaving."
"But Luke said you had to stay until he got back."
Jess opened the kitchen door. Rory followed. "Look, there's like five people in here. Luke will probably be back in like an hour. By then, the lunch customers will have just come in. Luke can take care of them." He paused. "Besides, we have things to do." Jess smiled at Rory. Rory smiled back and left to wait for Jess at the counter.
Five minutes later, Rory and Jess were upstairs in Luke's apartment. Jess was holding a can of blue dye and was standing behind Rory, who was sitting on a chair. "Are you sure about this?" Jess asked.
"It comes out by just washing your hair right?" Rory asked.
"That's what the can says."
"Well then do it. Besides, I get to do your hair after."
Jess started spraying the dye all over Rory's hair. It showed up clear and bright. When Jess finished covering every inch of Rory's brown hair, the two switched spots. Rory sprayed streaks up and down Jess's hair, not completely covering all his hair. Then quietly pulled three more bottles out of her bag and filled in the blueless spots. "Done." Rory said and handed Jess the mirror.
"What did you do?" Jess asked laughing.
"I improvised." Rory answered. "What, you don't like it?"
"No, no. It's great. Where did you get all the colors? I only have blue."
"I went to the art store before I cam here and bought red, pink and yellow. I thought it would look cool on you."
"Too bad you didn't tell me about them earlier. I know a certain blue haired chick who would look great as a blonde." Jess teased.
"What's her number? We'll call her and do her hair too." Rory played along.
"I don't know for sure, but if you look in the phone book under Gilmore, you'll probably find it."
Rory looked around. "Can't find the phone book, too bad."
Jess got up. "Okay, enough. Now that we're done our hair, what do you wanna do now?"
"I don't know, got to the bookstore?"
"All right then, the bookstore it is." Jess grabbed his blue vest and walked up to the door. He opened it and motioned for Rory to go first. "Blue haired freaks first."
"Oh no. That would be extremely rude. My mom taught me that you should never walk out the door before a clown. It's considered highly disrespectful."
"Oh in that case," Jess let go of the door handle and walked out followed closely by Rory.
~~~~~~~ Meanwhile
Luke finished making a huge stack of pancakes and a full pot of coffee and set everything on the kitchen table. He also made eggs, bacon, waffles, pop tarts, and special whole wheat blueberry pancakes for himself, which were already on the table. "Done." He said to Lorelai, who was sitting on a chair, next to the table. "iNow/i, you can eat."
Nothing more needed to be said for Lorelei to start eating. For a while, Luke just stared at her with a disapproved expression on his face. Finally, Lorelai noticed his staring. "What?" She asked, a piece of egg hanging out of her mouth. "It's your fault I'm eating so fast. You're the one who just had to make everything so delicious." Luke shook his head and took a bite out of his pancakes.
Ten minutes later, all plates were clean. Well, maybe not clean as in washed with soap and water clean, but clean as in Lorelai finished eating clean. Lorelei sat back in her chair and groaned. "I'm gonna die." She complained.
"You're not gonna die." Luke said annoyed, as he put the dishes in the sink.
"Yes I am. The quantity of food I have just finished consuming is trying to fit in my stomach. But my stomach is excessively diminutive so at this moment the only way for everything to fit is if my stomach detonates. And when my stomach detonates, I'm gonna depart this life and it's all because of you." Lorelai pointed an accusing finger toward Luke.
"Wow, that was probably the most smartest and stupidest thing I have ever heard you say." Luke finished cleaning the dishes. "Now I've got to go, so if your stomach does idetonate/i, call an ambulance." With a departing smile and wave, Luke gathered his things, and left.
Lorelai groaned and headed for the bathroom.
A/N- Next chapter will continue from this chapter. A day won't pass or whatever okay? As for the italic things. Hopefully they will work, but if they don't and you see i this anywhere in the story, please ignore it. Thanks. Please review :( I'm begging you.
