Disclaimer: I own nothing pertaining to the Gilmore Girls show.

AN/ I do however own the character, Will, which I made up.

Luke walked downstairs, clean-shaven, hair combed, and no baseball cap on.

"Wow." Lorelai said under her breath.

"What was that?" Rory teased.

"Rory." Lorelai warned.

"Hi, Luke. You're looking snazzy. What's the occasion?" Rory asked, nudging Lorelai playfully.

"Yeah, Luke." Lorelai put in.

"Umm," he paused glancing at Lorelai, "I just felt like dressing up a bit."

"Oh." Lorelai replied.

"I'm gonna go now and do, something. Jess, why don't you come with me?" Rory asked, jerking her head toward Luke and Lorelai.

Jess smiled, walked with her to the Diner door, and said, "Smooth."

Rory rolled her eyes.

Once they were gone, Lorelai chuckled self-consciously, "So, nice place you got here."

"Lorelai, you don't have to make small talk," he informed her.

"Okay. Well, you really do look nice." Lorelai commented.

"Yeah, you too." Luke replied.

Lorelai glanced down at her faded jeans, and blue t-shirt with the word Princess on it, "Thanks," she said slowly.

Then, came the awkward silence.

Finally, Lorelai broke it by saying, "I wonder where Jess and Rory went."

"I don't know."

Lorelai glanced around the empty Diner.

Meanwhile:

"Where are you taking me?" Jess questioned.

"I'm not taking you anywhere," she exclaimed.

"Then, where are you going?" Jess asked.

They were walking at a fast clip in the direction of the bridge.

"We just had to get out of there, so that they could talk." Rory explained.

"Well, I guess I'll come with you," he smiled.

"Fine. I'm just going to go to the bridge and sit."

"Okay." Jess replied.

When they arrived, they sat down and dangled their legs over the side.

Why do we have to let the talk anyway?" Jess asked.


Well, it's like this…" Rory began the story.

At the Diner:

"So Lorelai, ice skating was fun last night." Luke smiled.

Lorelai blushed, "Umm, yeah."

"Maybe, we could do it again sometime," he suggested.

Just then, Babbette walked in, "Hey, Sugar! I've found someone to set you up with! His name is William, Will for short. He's really cute! I gave him your number. You should get home! He said he was going to give you a call right away. Aren't you excited?"

"Umm," Lorelai glanced at Luke. He was frowning, almost glaring at Babbette, "I don't think I'm interested"

"But, Sugar, he's cute and I've already given him your number!" Babbette reasoned.

"You know what? I think I will be getting home." Lorelai smiled at Luke and left.

Ring! Ring!

Lorelai picked up the telephone, "Hello."

"Hi, Lorelai?" a guys voice came across the line.

"This is she."

"Babbette gave me you number. I hope you don't mind," Will said.

"Well, actually I just went on a date with someone and I don't know what's going on, so I don't really think we could go out on a date," she replied.

"Oh! Okay, I'm sorry," he said.

"That's okay. Bye," she hung up.

Lorelai strolled into the Diner a few minutes later, "Hi, Luke."

"Hello," he said gruffly.

"Is something wrong?" Lorelai questioned.

He stopped wiping the counter for a moment, to shoot her a rude look.

"Why are you mad?" Lorelai asked, feeling hurt.

Luke ignored her.

It was like he had put his walls up and shut her out.

She walked around the counter, and lifted his chin, demanding his attention.

He looked at her with such pain, that she wanted to cry, "Luke talk to me!" she pleaded.

"How could you go out with that Will guy?" he asked, pushing her hands away.

"Is that what this is about?" she asked.

"Yeah. I ask you out on another date, and then you run home to tell that Will guy that you'll go out with him! What's wrong with me?" he demanded.

"For one thing, your ability to jump to conclusions! I am not going out with what's his name! I ran home to tell him, there had been a mistake! Don't you feel silly?"

He lost his hurt look, and smiled warmly, "Will you go out with me?"

"I don't know, now!" she said.

"Hey!"

"Okay. How about this Saturday night?" she suggested.

"The Diner's open late that night. How about Friday?" Luke asked.

"Parent's dinner."

"I'll go with you!" Luke smiled.

"Oh! Luke, I don't know!" Lorelai said.

"Why not?"

"Do you really want to?" Lorelai wanted to know.

"Yeah." Luke told her.

"Okay."

"So, it's settled?" Luke asked.

"Yes." Lorelai nodded.

She couldn't believe she was bringing Luke to one of her parent's dinners!
