Chapter Three:
Good For You...

Lorelai narrowed her eyes at Luke, "Are you trying to say Rory lied to me?"

"No," Luke replied, "Maybe she just spared your feelings."

Lorelai pondered it over as Luke went off to tend to other customers. Suddenly Jess came in, he began immediately heading towards the stairs. "Jess," Lorelai called, he turned to her. "So? What's up?"

"Not sure," Jess responded and turned back towards the stairs.

"Going to work today?" Luke asked.

"Maybe later, I need some me time," Jess replied as he bolted up the stairs.

Luke looked a little disgruntled as he came behind the counter, "Punk."

"Hey, cut him some slack!" Lorelai said, "Were you not there this morning, or when he just said 'not sure?' Give him some time."

Luke grunted and moved on as Rory came running in. Lorelai moved to sit at a table with her. Luke came over and took their order. Once he was gone Lorelai eyed Rory, "So?"

"I think we're going to date."

"You think?"

Rory nodded, "Yeah I think so."

"So, did you talk about it?" Lorelai asked.

"Yes."

"And?"

"I want to," Rory began, but they were interrupted and subsequently distracted by the arrival of their food.

"This should be good," Lorelai commented shoving a fry in her mouth.

"What should?" Rory asked as she picked up her burger.

"You dating Jess. Taylor go bezerk."

"Well, it's not final," Rory sighed.

"So don't toot your own horn yet, but let's do the semi-happy, happy, joy, joy dance tonight?"

"Give me five minutes upstairs and I'll let you know."

"Only five minutes? That sucks."

"Mom."

Lorelai sighed, "fine, just remember, no eloping to Vegas to be married by an Elvis impersonator."

"I'm going now."

"Why thank you, thank you very much."

Rory groaned and adjusted her pale yellow top then walked upstairs.

Lorelai watched looking sullen.

Luke approached, "Jealous."

Lorelai looked up, "Jaded."
