"So, how was your date with Dean?" Lorelai asked walking into the living room, where Rory was sitting on the couch reading a book that she had gotten at the bookstore earlier that evening.

"Okay. I mean he doesn't really like the bookstore, so we didn't stay there long. We went to the gazebo, and he read me poems from my new book." Rory held up her book.

"Oh. Well, that's sounds nice." Lorelai responded.

"Yeah." Rory nodded.

"So, you wanna order a pizza?"

"That'd be good." Rory replied.

"There's a ballet program on television tonight. Maybe, we'll see Michel!" Lorelai teased.

"Mom!" Rory exclaimed.

"Fine. I'll go get the coffee and a video." Lorelai laughed.

She grabbed her pink Hello Kitty windbreaker, and headed out the door.

"Hello, Lucas!" Lorelai bellowed swinging open the diner door.

Luke, who had been kissing Nicole, jerked away from her at the sound of Lorelai's voice.

Lorelai quickly regained her composure from the sight, but Luke couldn't help, but notice the shocked and hurt look that had flashed on her face moments earlier.

"Umm, can I have two coffees to go, please?" she asked embarrassed, by the whole situation.

Nicole just stood there, slightly smirking at Lorelai.

"The pot's empty. I'll go make some more." Luke said waving the empty pot, and disappearing into the stock room to get a fresh can of coffee, leaving Lorelai and Nicole alone in the deserted Diner.

Nicole glanced at the kitchen door and then lowered her voice, "Listen up, I can tell you like Luke but I love him! And you're not going to take him away from me! Stay away from Luke!" she spat.

Lorelai cocked an eyebrow; she could feel anger building up inside her.

She had known Luke for years, Nicole was only Taylor's lawyer, and hadn't known Luke for very long.

Yet she was already trying to claim him!

This fact alone made Lorelai angry, so she retorted, "What make's you think he belongs to you?" Lorelai questioned.

"Because, I'm dating and you're not!" Nicole said.

Lorelai recoiled. She felt like someone had slapped her in the face, she returned with a biting remark, "You may be dating him now, but you won't be for long."

"Yeah, right! He doesn't love you! He'll never love you! He loves me!" Nicole exclaimed.

Nicole didn't feel that she was annoying Lorelai enough, so she tried another tactic, "And that daughter of yours…"

Lorelai didn't let her get any further she glared at Nicole and then advanced.

She took a determined step behind the counter, and punched Nicole right in the eye!

"Oh!" Nicole squealed.

She grabbed Lorelai's hair and pulled.

Lorelai grabbed Nicole's hair and pulled.

Luke walked out to see what the squeal was.

"Lorelai, Nicole!" he shouted.

They both released their grip on each other.

And Nicole ran into Luke's waiting arms and cried, "My eye! Luke, this insane woman punched me, and pulled my beautiful hair!" she wined.

"You what?" he demanded looking at Lorelai.

Lorelai decided to say what was on her mind, "Yeah, I did! She's not right for you!"

"How do you know?" he asked, patting Nicole's shaking back.

"Because, she insulted me and Rory! That is why I punched her!" Lorelai exclaimed.

"You what?" Luke pushed Nicole away from him.

"Luke, I mean, I…wait! Why do you care?" she demanded.

"Because, Lorelai is my…friend, and Rory is like my a daughter!"

Nicole lifted her chin, to reveal her red swollen eye, "It's either me, or her and her horrible daughter!"

"Her, and I'll take her wonderful daughter too!" he shouted.

Lorelai smiled.

"Fine!" Nicole huffed, walking out of the Diner.

"That's one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me." Lorelai grinned.

He walked over and examined her face, "She didn't hit you, did she?"

Lorelai grabbed his hands and shook her head 'No'.

They stared into each other's eyes in silence.

They both leaned in, and their lips met.

Lorelai pulled back, and shifted from foot to foot.

"So, what does this mean?" Luke asked.

Lorelai shrugged and pulled him into another kiss.
