Hi guys! Thanx so much for those who have been reviewing. I knew that this one wouldn't be that popular cuz there's no Rory. Dont' get me wrong, I think Rory's a great character, but I just thought it'd be interesting to see what would have happened to Lorelai. Please review!! I love the feedback. Btw, do you guys like the format or do you want me to double space between lines? Thanks so much.

Lorelai flipped open her cell phone and called Derek. "Hey," She said.

"Hey there," Derek answered. "Did you enjoy your time with Mike and Carol Dysfunctional-Brady?"

Lorelai laughed. "He wasn't that crazy. He was actually pretty normal."

"Wait, did you meet Sander Hilton?" Derek asked.

"No.. James Hilton?"

"Oooh, that's why. You saved by the saner Hilton. You should have met with Sander and Pam Hilton. What a bunch of weirdos." Derek said. "You can't see me, but I'm rolling my eyes at this very moment."

Lorelai chuckled. "I can only imagine."

"They want me to marry their daughters! I don't want to marry their daughters. Ugh," Derek groaned. "One time, I got so fed up, I just said it out right. I was like 'Mrs. Hilton, I'm gay.' And she looked at me like she was confused. And then suddenly her eyes lit up and she said, 'Me too!'. Then, she turns around and asks her husband, 'Sander, dear, are you gay?'. And he says, 'Yes, dear, very.'"

Lorelai laughed. "Are you serious?"

"Yes, I'm deadly serious. And slightly disturbed," Derek said. "I mean, who says 'I'm gay' these days when they're happy?"

"The Hiltons," Lorelai answered promptly. "OOooo, and my parents."

"Yeah, well," Derek answered. "I gotta go, babe. I'll talk to you later?"

"Yeah, bye!" Lorelai hung up the phone and looked down the window. The limo passed by a sign on the road that read 'Star's Hollow 2 miles'. Lorelai opened the screen that separated her from the driver. "Hi, it's me.

The driver looked into the rearview mirror and peered at her. "Hello," He said. "Yes, I slightly remember you, the passenger." He looked confused.

"Okay, I want to go to the Independence Inn," Lorelai said as she flipped open her bag and took out her makeup bag.

"Yes, Ms. Gilmore," the driver nodded and Lorelai closed the partition.

As she finished up touching up her makeup, she peered out the window to get a good look at Star's Hollow. It was a very cute, picturesque down, all centered around a big gazebo. 'Cute,' She thought, as they passed by a row of houses. 'I wonder which one Donna Reed lives in.' She suddenly had an urge for coffee. 'MMm caffeine.' She spotted a diner at the end of the street. "Stop the car!"

The car jerked to a stop. "What? What?" The screen came down again and she could see the driver's anguished face. "What happened? Please, don't sue me! I'll get fired this time!" He said nervously.

"Oh, geezzz.. I feel comforted. No, everything's okay. I just need coffee."

He breathed a sigh a relief. "I was.. uh.. kidding about that suing thing."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Looks like I need three cups. Wait here?" Lorelai asked.

"Sure," He said and turned off the engine. He got out of the car and opened the door for her.

Luke adjusted his cap and then continued wiping down the counter.

"Hey, Luke, can a guy get a cup of coffee around here?" Kirk asked. He waved his empty cup around in the air.

"Hey, careful with that," Luke warned as he picked up the coffee cup.

"Can I get uh.. seven Equals with that?" Kirk asked plaintively.

"You are a strange, strange...," Luke started. He was cut off by the door opening. He caught himself from dropping the pot.

'My God,' Luke thought. A young woman walked into the diner and looked around. She stood at the door and smiled at him.

'Concentrate, Luke, don't drop the coffee pot on your foot.' Luke quickly poured Kirk a cup and threw a couple of Equals at him.

"Hey, that's not seven!" Kirk called to him as Luke briskly returned the coffee pot and turned his attention to the woman.

"Hi.. can I help you?" He asked gently.

"HEY! Hello, Luke! This is not seven!" Kirk called out.

"Shut up, Kirk," Luke growled. When he turned his attention back to the woman, she looked taken back. "Sorry," Luke muttered, fumbling with the box of Equal. "Sorry, Kirk, didn't mean to snap at you."

Kirk hmphed but took the extra Equals.

"So, what can I get for you?" Luke smiled at her. She looked back at him with piercing blue eyes and gently smiled.

"Could I get a menu?" She gently adjusted her skirt and sat up on the stool. She wore a sleek black suit and held an expensive looking leather bag on her shoulder.

"Ahh, sure, of course," Luke said and grabbed the cleanest menu he could find from the stack.

"Here you go," Luke said and handed her the menu. He wanted to touch her dark wavy hair. It looked so soft.

She smiled and started to look at the menu. Unsure of what to do, Luke turned around and started to make more coffee.

"Hi."

Luke flipped around to see that Kirk had somehow snuck his way up to the woman. "My name is Kirk."

She nodded, but returned to the menu. "I was wondering.. you know, if you're in town for a while.." He continued.

"SO," Luke interrupted. "What can I get you?"

The woman smiled at Kirk. "I'm sorry. I'm just passing through." Kirk looked crestfallen and stood up. "If it's anything to you, you're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen."

She smiled softly. "You're very sweet."

"And I'm sure my mother would agree with me on that," He added and left the diner.

"Hm.. well," she said.

"That's Kirk," Luke said, then realized how stupid he sounded. 'Didn't Kirk just introduce himself?' "Uh, don't worry about him. He's just strange."

She smiled at him. "I realized that when he mentioned his mother and how much she would like me."

Luke grinned. "He lives with her."

"Oooh, one of those types. I just love those mama's boys." She threw him a sexy grin.

Luke felt his bones turning to jelly. "Really? Cause my mama says..," He said with a slight accent.

"Life is like a box of chocolates?" She offered.

"Exactly," He said with a southern accent. "What can I git you, ma'am? Flappahjacks? We's got some good swine in tha back. Fresh bak-un I just frah-d up mah-self," He drawled.

The woman laughed. "A coffee to go would be nice."

"We only make it with the finest animal fat," He replied.

"Delish," She replied, smiling.

Luke turned around to prepare her order. 'Introduce yourself,' He thought to himself. Luke turned around with the paper cup and handed it to her. "By the way, I'm Luke Danes." He offered his hand.

She gently shook it. "Lorelai Gilmore."
