Hey! I was right, this is the last chapter :-) If you don't like the way it ends, then sorry, but that was the only solution I saw to the whole story...

After a brief moment the Gilmore girls were back at their home in Stars Hollow. As they finished their hugging and crying, they sat down on the couch.

"What the hell was that!" Rory Gilmore asked as she thought back at the events of the night.

"Did you just say hell?"

Rory rolled her eyes. "I'm so messed up right now, it's not my fault!"

"I know sweetie. So do you think it was just a dream?" Lorelai asked.

"It was too real to be a dream. But I guess it is the only logical explanation, right?"

"Right," Lorelai tried to convince herself. "Oh, who cares about it right now! Tell me everything that happened to you!"

"No, you tell me first!"

"Ok. Well, we spent the whole time trying to find a way out of these awful corridors," started Lorelai, but was cut off by Rory.

"We?"

"Oh, Luke was with me. Well, he wasn't at first, but then...when he came, the corridors were all filled with mirrors and I have spent the last hours staring at me and Luke! I mean what's that all about?" Lorelai rolled her eyes.

"That's easy! Now, my turn, I fell into some weird room full of photographs of Dean, Tristan and Jess! A voice said that I had to call one of them, but when I tried to call Dean, I couldn't! The same thing happened with Tristan!"

"And that's not easy?" Lorelai asked. "You had three choices, two of them didn't work out, so DUH, you go with the third one. Now, how was mine easy?"

"But why Jess?" Rory still didn't want to admit it to herself. "I mean...it should have been Dean!"

"Well, obviously things have changed," Lorelai said. "You don't have to be a rocket-scientist to see that you've got these...well..feelings for the guy. And even though, he wouldn't be my first choice when it comes to your boyfriends, you do have the option. You shouldn't stay with Dean just because you feel you have to. The name of the game is love and the rules are very weird."

Rory thought about what her mother had said, even though she had known it all for a long time. "You really think so?" she quietly asked.

Lorelai nodded. "You just need to work it out with them. Of course it's not going to be easy, but I think it'll be worth it. Now lets get back to me."

"Oh, right," Rory smiled. "Well, it kinda makes sense now. This...trip...was obviously meant to open our eyes."

"And that makes sense? Well, yeah in your case..."

"Oh mom...when it comes to you and Luke...well, everybody can see it besides you two...so, the corridors with the mirrors, were meant to help you see it as well."

"To see what?" Lorelai still had to ask.

"Gosh, I have to spell it out for you?"

"Yes please," Lorelai said politely.

"That you two belong together! That you two would be great together!" It was Rory's turn to roll her eyes.

Lorelai stared at her daughter without saying anything.

"Well?" Rory couldn't take the silence.

"You know what...I did see it," Lorelai said with a smile. "We had just fallen asleep and when I opened my eyes, I saw me and him lying right next to me...I did see it!"

"Finally!" Rory said happily and gave her mother a big hug.

If anyone was to ask Taylor what it was that woke them all up next morning, he couldn't answer it. The fact is that something did. It was ten minutes after seven and suddenly the diner was filled with voices again. People groaned and yawned, but after some while, they all remembered what had happened.

Just as they were about to panic again, they heard a familiar voice from the counter.

"Anybody wants coffee?" Luke asked.

Taylor and Patty exchanged looks. "Luke!"

"Oh, we were so worried!" Babette exclaimed.

"Everything's ok," Luke assured them.

Just as he was about to be attacked by everyone's questions, he managed to quickly go to the diner's door. He grabbed the keys, jumped outside and locked the door after him. He signaled them to wait for couple more minutes before everything was back to normal again.

He then started to walk toward the Gilmore's house and someone from that house was walking toward him. They met in the middle and stopped.

"So, what a night," Luke smiled.

"Oh yea..." Lorelai smiled. She then turned serious. "Did you see it?"

Luke nodded. "I saw it in the first corridor we ever entered together. And I don't even mean the freaky mirror-y ones we were at tonight."

The answer went right to Lorelai's heart. "I wish I had seen it earlier as well."

"Why? It's never too late..." Luke tried to comfort her.

"Yeah, 'cause the name of the game is love and the rules are very weird..."

"That's pretty much it," Luke agreed and smiled happily. He took Lorelai's hand into his and looked right into her eyes as he leaned closer to kiss her.

(Ok, this is where I stop, because if I'd continue, I'd have to kiss the current rating goodbye...naah, their love is pure and innocent...lol)

Luke and Lorelai weren't the only ones who went out for a walk that morning. After everybody from the diner had returned to their homes, Rory got out to pay a vist to Dean.

She was deep in her thoughts. She was scared of the talk she had to have with Dean and she wasn't even sure she was able to do it.

Then she saw a familiar figure walking toward her.

"Good morning," Rory said.

Jess smiled as he passed her. "Good morning...I have a feeling it's going to be a good day too."

Rory answered with a smile and stepped forward. Now she knew it was all going to be worth it and the quicker she'd get over with it, the quicker she'd be happy again.
