"This is unbelievable! You won't ever change,
will you? Now I'm working, we'll finish this later." Luke hung up the phone.
"What's the matter? Grumble McMoody call and ask for his personality
back?" Asked Lorelai, sitting at the counter.
"I hear he's really mellowed since he loaned it to you." Said Rory,
sitting beside her.
Luke looked at Rory. She was smiling. He couldn't remember how long it had
been since he'd seen her smile.
"Come to shine your rays of sunshine on the hell that is my day I see." He
said, trying not to smile at them.
"Awww, Lukey, how can I make you smile? Want me to sing?" Grinned Lorelai.
"I'll join in at the chorus." Chirped Rory.
"You both hate me, don't you?" He smiled.
"You're our coffee supplier. Of course we don't hate you." Smiled Rory.
"Yeah, we looooove you." Said Lorelai. "Uncle Luke."
He frowned at them, and narrowed his eyes at their innocent expressions.
"Why did you call me that?" He asked.
"Well, word has it that you're the proud Uncle of one 17 year old New
Yorker." Said Lorelai, nodding her head.
"And we'll be seeing him very soon." Added Rory.
"Word… what word has it? Don't tell me Taylor finally flipped and bugged
my phones!" Said Luke, picking his phone up and looking at it suspiciously.
"We know something you don't know." Taunted Lorelai.
"How? How do you know? I only just found out!" He said.
"Well, we never told anyone this… But I am Coffee Woman, with the power of
super hearing and a stomach as strong as the stomachs of 10 men!" Announced
Lorelai, standing up and placing her hands on her hips triumphantly.
"And I am Muffin Girl… Coffee Woman's bite size but powerful side kick!"
Said Rory.
"Together, we have vowed to rid the world of all it's coffee and muffins!"
Smiled Lorelai.
"And Pancakes and brownies and Chinese food." Added Rory.
"And Pizza and waffles and burgers." Said Lorelai.
"Ok, alright, I get it. You're both insane and hungry. Now sit down before
you scare the customers away." He said, shaking his head.
"Wanna' know how we really know?" Smiled Lorelai.
"Honestly? I don't know." He said.
"Fine, then you can wait to find out." She said, sticking her tongue out at
him.
The phone rang and Luke picked it up.
"Hello? Liz… not now. No… we just finished discussing this. What do you
mean tomorrow?! I don't have anything for him to sleep on! Liz?!" He hung
up. "Damnit."
"What? Bread delivery guy can't come to your slumber party?" Asked Lorelai.
"No, my sister has just bought my nephew a bus ticket. He'll be here
tomorrow. What does she think I'm running here? A Diner or a youth hostel?"
He said, frustrated.
"Luke, can I ask you a favor?" Smiled Rory.
"Sure." He said, still happy to see her looking the way she used to.
"When he arrives, can I meet him?"
"Sure, you'll come over and I'll introduce you." He said. "Although
from the sounds of it, he's not in the most joyful friendly mood." He
sighed.
"No, I think what my lovely bite sized side kick was asking, was can she meet
him off of the bus?" Said Lorelai. Luke looked confused.
"Alone." Added Rory.
"Why?" He asked.
"I just… would like to." Rory blushed.
"Ok." Said Luke, shrugging.
"Thanks. And… don't tell anyone, ok? Especially him." She smiled
happily.
"Couldn't if I wanted to." He said, still looking lost.
"Now, Food!" Demanded Lorelai, banging her hand on the counter.
Luke rolled his eyes and headed for the kitchen. Lorelai looked at Rory and
smiled. She put her arm around her.
"You and me, Muffin Girl."
"Making the world a thinner place." Smiled Rory.
