A/n: Sorry about having like no java junkie action in here lately, slipped
my mind. On to the story!

Lorelai paced the halls of her house, waiting for Rory's call. "C'mon Rory, call!!" She yelled at the phone. Well, here, it's 9 o'clock in the morning, so it would be.. 6 o'clock, something like that there. She won't be up. Might as well go and get my coffee until the time she wakes up." Lorelai sighed, grabbed her purse, and went outside. She went to straighten out her clothes, but when she saw the floating coffee cups on the flannel fabric, she thought, 'Oh god, still wearing pajamas, go back inside; THEN coffee!' As fast as possible, Lorelai ran back in the house.
Lorelai ran up the stairs to find Luke standing around, looking at some pictures, with Bert in one hand, her coffee in another. "Bert? Luke? Why are you here?"
"Well, I figured you would want your coffee delivered, and since we're getting married next month.." Getting married? When did that happen? 'Why wasn't I informed' Lorelai thought.
"But why is Bert here? How did you get in, I was just outside.."
"Well, the banister needs to be fixed, so I brought 'Bert' along. Anyways, have some coffee. You're not yourself until you have some of this poison, but I figured you would need some before your mother came, and here she is!"
Lorelai turned around to be greeted by the face of her mother. "Mom? Why are you here?"
Emily sighed. "Lorelai, dear, the wedding." 'Dear? Wedding? Why is this 'wedding' being spoken of so often.' Lorelai thought to herself as she took a sip of her coffee. 'Mmmm, coffee. It always clears my head.'
The phone rang. Again and again, and as Lorelai picked it up, I kept ringing, ringing..
**
Lorelai sat up in her bed. 'HUH?' She picked up her fluffy pink alarm clock, and turned it off. 'That was weird..' Well, it's 9 o'clock. Why hasn't Rory called? Oh no, don't do what you did in the dream, you ARE still wearing the same pajamas, you never know, Luke might turn up in your bedroom.'
In a distressed mood, she ran to her bedroom, and quickly changed. Ten she resumed worrying downstairs, while she got ready to leave for Luke's. 'Why isn't my daughter here when her mother needs her? I need someone to figure out my dream.. maybe Luke can help. Nah, he was in the dream, he'll think I'm even more of a weirdo than ever. Wait, he already thinks that.. Too bad. Still not going to tell him.'
**
Luke ran around the kitchen, as today was an unusually busy morning in the small town. He sighed as he heard the bells that warned him that yet another customer was coming in, just to make his life harder.
"May I take your order," Luke asked, without even looking at the face of the new customer.
"Lukey, I thought by NOW, after all the years we have known each other, that you would at LEAST know what I want to eat."
Luke wasn't surprised to see the face of Lorelai after that comment. "Ok, so a healthy piece of fruit and orange juice?" He replied, smirking a smirk akin to Jess's.
"EW!!!!! Healthy food." A fake choking sound erupted from her. "UGH! Coffee would do just fine, no food though, I have no appetite."
**
"What do you mean, you want to get to know Dave?" Rory paced the floor nervously.
"I thought you wanted me to spend some time with him, so it wouldn't be awkward when we visit them. Well, we already made arrangements, so just have fun tonight! Relax, take it easy, etc."
'How can I take it easy when I have a DATE with Jess tonight, even though I have a boyfriend? How is it, that of all nights, he chose THIS one to be with Dave????' Rory's thoughts were a muddled mess, and she tried to arrange them.
"Honey, I am really looking forward to this. So, you have fun tonight, read a book or something, and I'll be out for a little, and then we can do anything. Ok?" Patrick's reassuring voice made Rory forget what she was doing that evening.
She nodded, and then asked, "When do you leave?"
"Around a half an hour."
"Ok."
**
As soon as Patrick left, Rory ran to Lane's room. Patrick and Dave were meeting at the front deck, so Lane's room would only have her in it.
"LANE!!!"
"Rory? What's wrong? Are you ok?"
"I have.. I have.. a date with Jess."
"But, you have a boyfriend!"
"I know, that's the problem!!"
"Well, what happened?"
Rory quickly explained the events that led to him asking her out, and Lane then replied, "Well, it's not really a date. He just wants to catch up with you. Where's the harm in that?"
"I guess you're right. Maybe I'm reading into this a bit too much. But even so, what should I wear? I don't want to be dressy, because it's not a date, but then again, I don't want to be underdressed, because what if he takes me to the fancy restaurant, instead of the one we're always in?!"
Lane pondered her question for a moment, and then answered, "I'll help you of course. Now let's get you back to your room so you can get ready."
**
"Reservations for two at 7 o'clock. Is that correct, sir?"
"Yes, that's correct. Thank you."
"We'll see you then, sir. Thank you for choosing Swordfish as your diner, and have a nice evening. Buh bye."
"Bye."
Jess hung up the phone, and looked at the clock. 6 o'clock on the dot. So he had an hour to shower, get dressed, and to grab, no, pick up Rory.
**
After getting dressed, Jess was ready to go. He took a deep breathe, and went to fine out Rory's room number.
**
A/n: I was going to include the date in this chapter but here's the thing- this is about a month overdue! I am so so so so so so so sorry! Please don't hate me and review!
