************************************************************************
**That Same Night**
Loralei was anxious to find out if Rory and Tristan would get together. They were perfect for each other and really cute together. She sighed, if only she could find the right person. Max had seemed nice at first but she knew that wasn't going anywhere. She wanted to find the right guy, who she was going to spend the rest of her life with.
All of a sudden she was hit with a sudden craving, and of course it was the usual craving, for coffee. So she walked into Luke's.
"Flannel Boy can I have coffee, please!"
"No, it'll stunt your growth."
"I'm done growing."
"You'll never be able to have babies."
"I've already had one."
"You'll shrink uncontrollably."
"So I'll be a midget."
"It'll kill you."
"I'll die a happy woman."
Luke let out an exasperated sigh, threw both hands up in the air, hit them down on the counter and said, "I'm never going to be able to win, am I?"
"No, it's impossible to win when your opponent is Loralei Gilmore. The beautiful, the great, the stupendous, the magnificent, the brilliant, the--- "
Luke cut Loralei off, "the addicted! Your crazy you know that, crazy," he said as he filled up a cup of coffee for her.
"I told you, you would succumb to Loralei Gilmore's begging. Loralei Gilmore always gets her way. Loralei Gilmore never doesn't get her way, especially when it comes to coffee."
"Would Loralei Gilmore please stop speaking in the third person, like a third grader?"
"Ooo, did flannel boy just try to crack a joke, third person, third grader? Well Loralei Gilmore did not find the joke very humerous."
"Why the hell is Loralei Gilmore out of her house right now annoying the hell out of me."
"Loralei Gilmore refuses to respond because you said she was annoying you. Loralei Gilmore is offended."
"Please stop talking in the third person!" Luke said on the verge of having a fit.
Loralei giggled, and said, "See it's so funny when I get you to the point where your eyes bug out and your about to start throwing things. Okay I've had my fun now." Then she picked up her coffee cup, gulped it all down and said, "More coffee please!"
"No."
"Chop, chop Flannel man!"
"Only if you stop calling me flannel man."
"Ohh but it suits you, you don't want me to start saying Loralei Gilmore again do you?"
"Fine, here's your coffee," he said placing another cup down in front of her.
Loralei clapped her hands giddily and took a sip. Luke was watching her drink the coffee and was fascinated by her. She would never know how he felt about her would she? Their arguing was what he looked forward to, what he strived on. He loved seeing her, he loved everything about her, he loved her. But she would most likely never know.
After about two minutes Loralei started to feel Luke's gaze. She didn't dare look up at him, knowing that it would most likely result in an embarrassing moment for the both of them. So she just sat there sipping her coffee. She was surprised when she realized that she was happy that Luke was staring at her, it made her feel like a little school girl with a crush on the cutest boy in school. She smiled slightly, she had never felt something like this for Luke before. It was weird. Then she shook her head and thought to herself, 'Loralei snap out of it. This is Luke one of your best friends, your coffee supplier, imagine what would happen if you two went out, broke up, no more coffee, the world would officially end.' Then the other side of her head said, 'But Loralei this is Luke, your best friend, your coffee supplier, the guy you argue with everyday, he looks at Rory with fatherly protection. He cares about you and Rory. And if I'm correct you care about him as well. Go for it, whats the worse that could happen, be realisitic, you could probably get free coffee too, and maybe even a potential husband, shoot for the moon!' So Loralei decided to break his stare and the little argument that was going on between the voices in her head, by saying, "It's going to snow soon."
"And you know this how? Are you all of a sudden a weather girl?"
Loralei looked up at him with a joking look of shock, "How do I know this?! Did you just ask me that, haven't I explained to you, I am the one that knows all, I know every little thing." Then she looked at her watch and gasped and said, "Oh shit, it's late, I have to get back." She paid, walked over to the door, and then as she was opening it she said, "See you tomorrow.Flannel MAN!" Then she giggled and walked out.
Luke said to the figure of her that was walking away, "Loralei Gilmore, you don't know everything, because if you did, you would know just how much I love you." Then he wiped the counter and walked upstairs.
**With Loralei**
She pondered what she had just felt for Luke, was it attraction, lust, want, or possibly love? She didn't know, but she knew that she had to find out, because it had been pretty strong, and there had been some sort of connection between them. Then she remembered what this whole quest had been about, to go get flashlights. So she walked over to Doose's market.
When she walked in she saw Dean. She studied him and realized that he most definetly was still in love with Rory, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked as though he hadn't slept in days. She walked over to the aisle with the flashlights, got one and walked over to the line where Dean was working.
"Hi Dean!" said Loralei brightly.
"Loralei," he responded grimly.
"Excuse me, but Lola do you think that I could borrow Dean for a minute?"
"Sure thing sweetie," said Lola, who then nodded towards Dean, gesturing for them to go outside.
Both of them walked outside and immediately Loralei jumped right to the point.
"Your still hooked on her, huh?"
"It's not that easy getting over someone like Rory, especially when you love her."
"I can imagine. But I wanted to let you know, I don't want things to be weird between us."
"You mean you want me to still come over and change the water."
"Ahh, so you really are a fast learner. But seriously Dean, I'm really sorry about this, Rory, well she's confused, and also I wanted to let you know something. She's with Tristan now."
Dean didn't respond and Loralei looked at his face hoping she could find a response there, but there wasn't one.
Then Dean said, "Good, I knew she liked him."
"Yeah, I think everyone except her knew."
"Yeah, well Loralei I have to get back inside. But umm do you think you could tell Rory that I say goodbye?"
"What do you mean?"
"I'm moving back to Chicago in two days. I'll be living with my Uncle. My family is staying here but they think that it would be best if I live in the city where as they say, I have more opportunities."
"Why didn't you tell Rory?"
"I just found out."
"Don't you want to say goodbye in person?"
"It would be too hard."
Loralei nodded understandingly, then she hugged Dean and said, "I'll miss you Dean, we'll miss you, the whole town of Stars Hollow will miss you. Take care of yourself kid." Then Loralei walked off, processing what was happening. Was Dean moving away because of his break up with Rory? She didn't know but she knew she had to tell Rory.
When Loralei got back to the house she saw Tristan and Rory snuggled up close together on the couch, with their fingers intertwined. Those two defiantly had it bad for each other, they had it worse then bad, they were in love with each other. But poor Rory, when she found out about Dean moving she would think it was her fault. Loralei sighed, decided to let the two teenagers sleep, and walked upstairs to go change, listen to the wind (the rain had stopped long ago), think, and eventually go to sleep.
**The Next Morning**
Rory awoke to feel a warm body next to hers. She immediately knew who the body belonged to. She smiled remembering that last night she had kissed Tristan, she was now going out with Tristan. Then she felt a finger going up and down her arm. She rolled over and was instantly shocked by Tristan's intense blue eyes.
"So sleeping beauty awakes?"
"Not before Prince Charming though."
He smiled and kissed her lightly on the nose, teasing her, then on the corner of her mouth, then he brushed his lips against Rory's lightly. Teasing her, testing her. Rory was finding it hard to resist the temptation to jump him. Then he leaned down again and Rory knew he was just going to try and brush his lips with hers again, so the second his lips touched hers she captured them in an intoxicating, deep, meaning-full kiss. Tristan hadn't expected that but immediately responded, tasting every bit of her mouth. Just then both of them heard a shriek!
They broke the kiss, both faced the stairs and saw Loralei standing on the platform on the stairs, with her hand over her eyes.
"Is it safe to look yet?" Loralei asked.
"Safe as it will be."
Loralei uncovered her eyes, squinting just in case that it wasn't safe, then she saw that it was safe and she let out a sigh of relief. "Thank god, you two were like attacking each other. Where did you learn to do something like that Rory? You never kissed Dean that way! Teach me!"
Rory blushed, and said, "Eww mom no, I'm not going to teach you!"
"Teach me! Teach Me!" Loralei whined. Then she said seductively, while joking, "I know Tristan will teach me!"
Rory found it hard not to burst out laughing when she saw Tristan's shocked face, of course her mom was joking but Tristan didn't realize that.
Tristan stuttered. "I, I."
Both Loralei and Rory cracked up and Loralei was rolling on the floor with tears in her eyes, "She was joking!" Rory managed to gasp out.
Tristan breathed a sigh of relief, man that had been weird. Then he joined in laughing with them.
"Tristan your going to have to get used to stuff like that. I'm guessing from the way you just devoured my daughters face that your going to be spending a good amount of time here. So get used to it boy! Come on you two, a steaming pot of coffee awaits us! AND GUESS WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT?!"
Rory squealed and said, "It SNOWED!"
"YES! Get your coats, I'll get the sleighs, we'll get coffee and then go join the Stars Hollow festives!" said Loralei before hurrying off, humming, "Let it snow let it snow!"
Rory and Tristan both got up and changed (not together!), then when everyone was ready all three of them started off towards the diner. Loralei singing and dancing while carrying the sleigh. Rory and Tristan holding each others hand.
************************************************************************ Whatcha think about it? Huh? So the next chapter will be a chapter about the snow stuff. And all of you who are upset that Dean is moving, it isn't going to be the last we see of Dean, it will be for a long time, but not the last, so you know tune in!
