"So are you going to tell me what really happened?" Lorelai asked Christopher as they sat down.

"What do you mean what really happened?" Chris asked confused.

"At Luke's."

"I already told you, she fell asleep at one of the tables."

"Yeah, but I don't believe you."

"Why not?"

"Because when I called, you sounded very stressed out."

"I did?"

"Yes, you did which makes me think something else happened."

"Think what ever you want Lorelai but I'm leaving." Christopher said as he got up. "Call me when you've decided to calm down." Chris said as he started to leave.

"Call me when you've decided to tell me the truth!" Lorelai screamed as he left. She turned to Max. "Can you believe him?"

"Well you were overreacting." Max pointed out.

"What? I thought you'd be on my side." Lorelai said hurt.

"I am, I always am but I also think it's a good idea to be on the side of sanity and that's Christopher's side."

"Are you saying Christopher is sane?"

"More sane than you ever are."

"Normally I'd argue with you about this but… I'm too tried to." Lorelai said sadly.

"And because you know I'm right." Max said smiling.

Lorelai gave him a look.

"Ok because you're too tired, so you want to watch a movie and then go to bed?"

"That's sounds nice, really nice but don't you have class tomorrow?" Lorelai asked.

"I'll make up something on my way into work tomorrow."

"Huh, and this is one of the teachers who I pay lots of money to teach my daughter." Lorelai said smiling.

"And now you see what all that money goes to, to teachers who make their class plans on their way to work." Max said smiling.

"I can deal with that."

"Ok you two stop screaming, the customer did not come here to watch you two screaming at each other, even though it is entertaining." Sasha said as she came up to Luke and Jess.

"We're not screaming!" Luke said screaming at her.

"Fine, then you're just discussing very loudly, either way you need to do it outside." Sasha said.

"We're done here." Jess said as he went upstairs.

"You know I almost had him." Luke told Sasha.

"Had him??? Had him in what way?" Sasha asked confused.

"He was about to tell me how he felt about Rory but you stopped us."

"Right, well you see I thought running this restaurant was a little bit more important to you than who Jess liked. I guess I was wrong." Sasha said sarcastically.

"Can I interrupt?" Christopher asked as he came up.

"Please do, I've got work to do." Luke said as he left.

"What's going on with you two?" Chris asked.

"Nothing, just normal friendly fighting. So how are things with Rory?" Sasha asked.

"They're good, but I didn't come here to talk to you about Rory."

"Ok, Caesar, Luke I'm taking a break! Get Jess to cover for me!" Sasha said as she led him outside.

"That's nice, by the way do you always scream when you want to get something across to Luke?"  

"It's the only sound that can get through that hard head of his." Sasha said smiling.

Chris laughed. "I don't doubt that."

"So what did you want to talk to me about?"

"About us."

Sasha smiled but then thought of Sherrie. "You know for a second there I almost forgot that you're already taken." She said as she started to walk back inside.

"But I'm not, that's what I've been trying to tell you." He said as he grabbed her arm.

"Wait, you and Sherrie aren't together any more?" Sasha asked shocked.

"No, we broke up."

"Chris, if you're lying to me, I'm going to kill you." Sasha said seriously.

Chris laughed. "Well then I guess I'm going to live because I'm not lying to you."

Sasha laughed. "When did this happen?"

"A few hours ago, that's why I came back."

"So you came back here to be with me?"

"Basically, yes. But what I'm wondering is do you want to be with me?" Chris asked hoping.

Sasha grabbed his face and kissed passionately.

"Let me guess your answer is yes?" Christopher asked laughing.

"Now where would you get an idea like that from?" Sasha asked laughing.

 "So when is this meeting going to take place?" Rory asked Tristan.

"How about this Friday?"

"How about I just learn how to fly?" Rory asked sarcastically.

"Ok, where did that come from and why?" Tristan asked shocked.

"Because I have a better chance of flying then I do being able to get out of Friday dinners with my grandparents."

"Ok, well we could just come to your grandparents." Tristan offered.

Rory was silent.

"What do you not like the idea or something?" Tristan asked worried.

"No, I've just never heard of anyone volunteering to meet my grandparents, it's basically suicide."

"It can't be that."

"It can, but I guess if your grandfather and mine are friends then… it wouldn't be that bad."

"So you're agreeing?" Tristan asked hopeful.

There was a beep on Rory's phone. "There's someone on the other line, I'll be right back." Rory said as she clicked over. "Hello?"

"Rory?" Jess asked.

"Jess? What's wrong?"

"Why do you think something's wrong?" Jess asked confused.

"Because you're calling me."

"Well sorry to disappoint you but nothing's wrong. I'm just calling you to talk to you."

"Oh ok, so what is it you wanted to talk about?" Rory asked happy he called.

"Well are you doing anything?"  Jess asked hoping she wasn't.

"No, I'm not doing anything why?" Rory asked worried forgetting about Tristan.

"Because I was hoping you wouldn't mind doing something tonight."

"Depends on what that something is."

"I don't know what it is yet but I thought we could figure that out."

"Ok sounds like a good idea. Plus my mother and her fiancée are here so… I'd like to get out of here."

"But how are you going to convince your mother to let you hang out with me?"

"I'll think of something."

"Hey if all else fails, just sneak out."

"I'll take that into consideration but I'm hoping it doesn't come to that. So where should I meet you?"

"At the gazebo in the middle of the town."

"Sure I'll be there as soon as I can." Rory said as she hung up the phone.

Tristan heard the phone click and slammed the phone down hard.

"Was the call that bad?" His grandfather asked as he came in.

"No it just wasn't that important." Tristan said sarcastically.
