At the Gilmore house, the morning was HECTIC. Lorelai couldn't find anything, and Rory was too tired to help.

"Where's my bag -- the red one?"

"You mean MY red bag? It's in my room."

"Okay, let's go. I'm getting hungry. Let's just go to Luke's." Lorelai said , already heading out the door.

"Okay."

*****
"Lucas, coffee" Lorelai said

"Good morning to you too." Luke said pouring coffee.

"My bus .. bye mom, Luke." Rory said running out the door.

"Listen, um Nicole called and she wanted to know if you wanted to so shopping with me and her today."Luke said

"Shopping?"Lorelai said

"For wedding dresses." Luke said quietly.

"Luke Danes, I never thought I would live to hear you say those words."Lorelai said in shock.

"It's not my idea it's hers."

"Fine. I'm not going to do anything today anyways."

"Let's go."

"Now?"

"Yeah."

"Fine."

At the mall, Luke and Nicole were getting all cute by holding hands, and Lorelai? Trying not to look. They reached the dress shop and Lorelai started to look around. A salesperson goes up to her and asks her if she needs help.

"Yeah, I want to try this dress on."

"Okay, the dressing rooms are in there." The salesperson said pointing to a room.

Lorelai went in the room , and put on the dress. She looked in the mirror and smiled. Looks perfect she thought. She went outside, and Luke saw her. He walked up to her and smiled.

"Nice dress."

"I know, perfect right?"

"You look nice."

"Thank you."

"So, you're buy this one?"

"Yeah, um -- Nicole's waiting. I better leave."

"Yeah, see you."

"Yeah, bye."

"Yeah."

"So, how was shopping?" Rory asked her mom after school.

"Nice, I found a dress."

"I know you told me like ten times."

"Yeah, I'm just so happy."

"That's nice."

"Yeah."

"What's wrong?"Rory asked

"Luke and Alex."

"Not this again."

"No, I mean it's weird now, everytime I'm with Luke it's nice. And Alex, better."

"And?"

"I don't know."

"It's pre-wedding jitters mom, everyone gets it."

"I hate this."

"We'll get through this."

The doorbell rang and Rory got up to answer it. She opened the door and she saw that it was Alex.

"Hey, my mom's in the living room."

"Okay," Alex said walking in.

"Hey, sweetie." Lorelai said kissing Alex.

"Hey, went dress shopping?"

"Yeah, sorry for not telling you."

"It's okay, so wanna go out tonight."

"Sure, um, Rory?"

"It's okay, I have to study anyway."

"Okay, then."

"Let's just go to Luke's I need to get home early anyway."

"Um -- Luke's?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Well I want this to be -- um a nice evening and um what about a place in Hartford?"

"Sure."

"Okay then just give me couple of minutes to get ready. Make your self at home."

[Upstairs]

"What's wrong with Luke's?" Rory asked putting a necklace on Lorelai's neck.

"Nothing, I mean I just wanted everything to be nice you know."

"Yeah, well maybe since you know Luke's there you don't want to go there."

"Yeah."

"You're avoiding him."

"No, I'm just you know."

"Fine, have a nice evening."

"Thanks."

Rory looked at the clock, she sighed it was only 11:30. She wanted to fall asleep but she couldn't. She sighed and read her book. Then the doorbell rang.

"Jess?" Rory said opening the door.

"Hey."

"What are you doing here?"

"Bored."

"Ah, well come in it's cold here."

"So, what are you doing?"

"Reading."

"A Christmas Carol?" Jess said holding the book up.

"Yes, now did you come here to make fun of me or what?"

"Actually -- no."

"Then what?"

"Wanna watch a movie?"

"I rented some old black and white movies."

"Fine."

Rory and Jess continued to watch movies and talked about how they should make all movies black and white. After the movie was done, Jess stood up to leave.

"That was nice."

"Yeah, good movie."

"No, I meant you here."

"Oh, yeah."

Rory turned to Jess and kissed him.

"Good night." She said
