(I do think that Jess is really hot though, and I do own some pictures of him!)

I own nothing pertaining to Boca Burgers.

Rory and Lorelai arrived home a few minutes later.

"You were kind of mean to Luke." Rory stated.

"Me! What about you, Miss Clutching The Table So You Won't Fall Over!" Lorelai pointed out.

"Okay, I was mean too. The question is, what are we going to do about it?"

"I don't know." Lorelai wrinkled her forehead in thought.

Rory tapped her chin, trying to think of an idea.

Lorelai snapped her fingers suddenly, "I've got it!"

"What?"

"We can pack a picnic, go to the zoo, set up a place to eat near the Gophers where we can watch them, and call Luke to come and join us!" Lorelai smiled.

"Perfect. Let's get started. We need to pack something for Luke to eat, since this is a surprise." Rory said.

"Why can't he pack his own Boca Burger?"

"Mom!"

"Fine. We'll need to go to Dooses." Lorelai sighed.

"Let's go."

At Dooses:

"Taylor, do you carry Boca Burgers?" Lorelai asked.

"Boca what's?" Taylor wrinkled his nose.

"Veggie burgers." Rory clarified.

"No. We're all out. But, we do have some lovely raw vegetables." Taylor smiled.

"Thanks Taylor, but we need something a little different." Lorelai said.

"What did you have in mind?" Taylor wanted to know.

"Something portable and healthy." Rory told him.

"You two want healthy food?" Taylor was shocked.

"Oh, it's not for us!" Lorelai said quickly.

"Oh. Well, in the portable and healthy section we have: Carrot sticks, celery strips, salad in a bag, yogurt, and turkey sandwiches on wheat bread. And those are just a few!" Taylor said excitedly.

"Thank you, Taylor!" Lorelai dragged Rory to the yogurt section.

"What are we gonna get?" Rory asked.

"Everything he just listed, and tea." Lorelai stated.

When Lorelai and Rory had finished shopping, they went home and packed it, and the stuff they were going to eat, into a picnic basket, and they drove to the zoo in Hartford.

They found the Gopher dirt patch, and set up their food at a table with a good view of the dirt patch.

"Now, we call Luke." Lorelai said, taking the jug of iced tea out of the basket, and setting it on the table.

"Okay."

Lorelai picked up her cell phone, and dialed the Diner.

"Hello." Luke said.

"Hi, Luke! This is Lorelai."

"Okay." Luke replied.

"Rory and I are at the zoo, and we would love it if you would join us." Lorelai said.

"What?" Luke wanted to know.

"Yeah." Lorelai told him.

"Why?" was his next question.

"Just because. Can you come? Can't you just put Caesar in charge?" Lorelai asked.

"I guess."

"Great! Rory will meet you at the gate. Bye!" Lorelai hung up.

Luke stared at the buzzing phone in his hand.

"Well?" Rory asked.

"He's coming!"

"Do you think he'll forgive us?" Rory questioned.

"I hope so." Lorelai said,  "You're meeting him at the gate."

"Okay."
