Sorry it took this long, but here it is!
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! 'Arg, all alarm clocks must die,' thought Lorelai, while she got out of bed. She put on her fluffy bunny slippers and her "Hello Kitty" robe and went downstairs in search of that magic beverage.

She got out a cup and began to drink when she remembered the events of the day before. She had gone fishing. Made out with Alex, "mmm, he's a great kisser." and then gone to Luke's for a cup of coffee. So what was bothering her?

Suddenly she remembered their talk about the trip...

"I beg your pardon," was he on coke or still fanaticizing about Riki?

"Yeah, I leave next Friday," Luke said trying to not show how glad he was that she actually cared.

"Peru? But that's like way down there," she pointed at the ground in order to illustrate her point.

"Yes, South America to be exact."

"You'll get rabies!"

"No, I won't and I'm sure they have medicine down there too."

"Well, umm." She tried to find an excuse that would magically make him stay. "You don't speak Spanish! That's it, you don't speak Spanish. How are you going to ask the doctor for medicine if you don't speak Spanish? Huh? Huh? Answer that one, smarty," Why did she care so much that he was leaving?

"Well, I did take a couple classes in High School. Plus, Rachel will be there with me."

" Yeah right, I'm sure she can help." Wait, why was Lorelai suddenly hating Rachel? She had been nothing but nice towards her.

"Well Lorelai, just thought I'd let you know I was leaving, you know, since you always said we were friends and stuff.Thought you might want to know.." Come on, ask me to stay, ask me to stay.

"Yeah, of course we're friends Luke! Well.yeah. I'll see you before you leave right?" He nodded his head and she started to walk backwards towards the door.

'She just had one cup of coffee.how odd. Is there something that might be bothering her?' Luke tried to repress these thoughts, well actually, these hopes and act cool. The last thing he wanted was for her to know how he REALLY felt.

"Well, see you tomorrow. I'll be needing more of this" she lifted the cup as to show what this was (as to make it clear 'this' wasn't him or the conversation.though she would miss it, she couldn't admit it, yet.) As she did this, she tripped and spilled some coffee on her shirt.

"Good one, let me help you out." He started to walk towards her with a wet cloth.

"NO! Umm, I mean, no thanks. I'll be fine. I really should be getting home, Rory is waiting for me."

"Oh, Ok. I'll see you around then."

'He sounded disappointed' she thought to herself. The truth was that the coffee was burning her skin but right now that seemed better than being very close to Luke. She wasn't sure that if that situation arrived, she would be able to keep her hands to herself. A sudden sadness filled her body and she felt like hugging him very close and never letting go. Whatever could that mean...
