Title: Down To You
Summary: When a new guy comes to Stars Hollow, he hits things off with Lorelai. They seem like the perfect couple, and Luke is happy for them. Ha! Yeah right.
Pairings: Luke/Lorelai Lane/Dave (undertones) Rory/Jess (a little bit) Lorelai/Charlie Luke/Nicole
Spoilers:
Author's Note: I'm not too sure if Jess is going to go to Venice Beach or not. Rory is getting ready to go to Yale, Nicole and Luke are getting more serious. Lorelai and Charlie are getting serious too. * * *
"I never knew you had so much stuff!" Lorelai complained. She and Rory were packing the remains of her things before she went to Yale. Rory stood in front of her closet looking for anything that she would need for college. "I don't have that much stuff." Rory said picking up a book.
Lorelai smiled, "Yes you do. I mean we needed to buy two extra suitcases."
"Duffle bags." Rory corrected, "Plus I need to fit all of my things in those bags."
Lorelai sat down on Rory's bed, "Aren't you going to visit?"
"Of course I am."
"Then why bring everything you own to Yale? I mean leave some here so you wouldn't have to lug that big bag back and forth." Lorelai explained, "Unless Yale has something against that."
"I guess you're right, but where are you going to put it all? I need to bring my drawers and stuff." Rory said picking up one of the bags.
"I know since they don't furnish the dorms. I guess I'll put it in my room." Lorelai said standing up.
"But you're room hardly has any room in it." Rory said, "Unless you throw away the things you don't need."
"But I need everything."
"I know you do." Rory said zippering a bag.
"Then I'll put it in you're closet. Along with the excess stuff I have."
"You're using my room as a storage room?" Rory asked.
"No, I'm thinking of tearing it down and adding an expansion." Lorelai said sarcastically.
"Very funny, but what are you going to use it for?"
"Um - I was thinking of making it a little museum, and having people come in and tour you're room." Lorelai said smiling.
"Okay well I need to get one more sweatshirt."
"Another one? Sweetie Yale is in New Haven, not Alaska."
"I know but I need it in case of emergencies."
"Oh okay, so in case you fall off the face of the earth, we can use your extra sweatshirt and save you."
"Fine, I'll not bring the sweatshirt, it's yours anyway."
"Oh so that's where it's been hiding, under your bed." Lorelai said, "Wonder how it got there."
"I guess I put it there, sorry." Rory said.
"Huh-uh. Likely story."
"What?" Rory asked innocently.
"Listen all this talk about Yale, and packing is making me hungry. Luke's?" Lorelai asked
"Just let me get my jacket." Rory said grabbing her coat. Lorelai went out of Rory's room and went to get her things too. When they were both ready, they walked down to Luke's.
* * *
"He still has the flowers." Lorelai said looking around.
Rory smiled. "What can I say? Apparently he has a soft spot for flowers."
"Nicole probably put some spell on him." Lorelai said, "Next thing you know she'll be moving in."
"It's so cute the way you're jealous." Rory said.
Lorelai gasped. "I am not jealous. I just tend to overreact."
"You've been doing that for a while then."
"My darling daughter, ladies and gentlemen." Lorelai said. "Listen Mommy is not jealous."
Rory's smile got bigger. "He's coming." She sang.
"Are you ready?" Luke asked, taking out his order pad.
"I'll have fries, burger, and an explanation to why you kept the flowers. Start spilling Burger Boy." Lorelai said
"What's there to say?" Luke said writing down Lorelai's order; "Nicole just wanted them here for a while."
Lorelai stared at him. "And you don't mind that?"
Luke shrugged. "It's only flowers." He walked away, leaving Lorelai stunned.
"He's changed." She announced. Rory smiled at her comment, "He has not changed."
"Has so. Nicole is changing him."
"He's just making his girlfriend happy." Rory stated.
"Ew the way you said that didn't really come out right in my head." Lorelai said.
"Mom!"
"Let's change the subject, like Yale or something."
"But we came here to not think about Yale." Rory reminded her.
"I know but let's talk about it anyway."
"Fine, I found out who my roommate is."
"Oh who?"
"Paris."
"Gellar?"
"Well how many people do you know whose name is Paris?"
"She got accepted to Yale?"
"It was a last minute thing, apparently she 'forgot' she was accepted into Yale."
"How could she forget which college she got in?"
"Well you know, a lot of stuff's been happening."
Luke came a few moments later, with Lorelai's food. "Here you go, and Rory?"
"Oh I'll just share with her." Rory said grabbing a fry.
"So you'll be living with Paris Gellar? How sad for you." Lorelai said.
"Well I'll have classes which will take up my time, so we'll probably won't see each other."
"But you'll be living together."
"Stop saying it like its torture."
"It is I mean she'll keep you up all night with her rants about how Yale is smaller than Harvard and how she should have got in to Harvard."
"She isn't that insane."
"Uh-uh, think again."
"Mom."
Lorelai smiled, "Okay I'm sorry. Listen I'm going to stop by Doose's to look for some cookies, you sit here eat your food and wait for me okay?"
"Sure." Rory said. Lorelai stood up and left, she walked fast to Doose's and she opened the door quickly and ran into somebody when she entered. "I am so sorry." She said quickly.
"It's okay."
"No - oh." Lorelai said when she found out that she bumped into Nicole.
"It's okay Lorelai, I was just picking up things for Luke."
"Oh Luke."
"Yeah Luke."
Lorelai smiled, it was a fake smile but at lease it was a smile. "I have to get something too, so see you around."
"Yeah see you." Nicole said heading towards Luke's.
* * *
"Staring is rude." Rory commented.
"What?"
"You're looking at Luke and Nicole."
"Am not."
"Yes you are, listen they won't do anything dirty here."
"Uh, I need to get out of here." Lorelai said getting up. She walked towards the counter, where Luke and Nicole were standing. "Here, that should cover the food. See you later."
Luke looked at her. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah fine, super, superb, fantastic." Lorelai said sarcastically
"Well sorry for being nice." Luke shot back.
"Whatever. Rory let's go." Lorelai said, ticked off.
"Are you okay?" Rory asked when they left the diner.
"Just fine, I just needed to get away from Luke."
Rory stopped walking. "You? Needed to get away from Luke?"
"Yeah, I guess."
"Mom?"
"Fine. I bumped into Nicole while going to Doose's." Lorelai explained.
"And?"
"And well she told me she was picking things up for Luke."
"She was probably just running an errand for him."
"But his diner is right next to Doose's."
"He was busy."
"What he couldn't take like 5 minutes off to get some crap?"
"Well he's got like no time on his hands."
"And the way she said Lorelai to me. I swear it seemed like she was plotting some evil thing against me." Lorelai continued.
"Something tells me that this is beyond Luke and Nicole's relationship." Before Lorelai could answer, her cell phone rang. "Hello?"
"Are you busy?" Charlie asked
"Now?"
"Yeah cause I just found this great coffee shop."
"Okay pick me up at around 4ish okay?" Lorelai said hanging up the phone.
"Alex?" Rory asked
"Yeah, listen sweetie I know it was supposed to be our day since you're leaving so I'm going to call him back and tell him I can't go out because I need to spend my day with my wonderful daughter okay?"
"You don't have to do that."
"Nonsense, I'll tell him you're leaving for Yale."
Lorelai took out her phone and started to dial numbers.
* * *
"Okay so we've got you're chip, dip, candy, videos, coffee. Anything else?"
"Skittles?" Rory suggested
"Ah, funny you mentioned that since I rented Wizard of Oz, so we can really 'taste the rainbow' now." Lorelai said
"Okay did you get anything else?"
"Um, 'Breakfast at Tiffany's', 'Sweet November', 'The Matrix', 'My Best Friend's Wedding', 'Sabrina' and 'How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days'."
"So two Kenau Reeve movies, two Audrey Hepburn, and one with Kate Hudson, nope I don't see a connection there."
"Well I love all these movies."
"Oh I see it, five are about love and one is about action/computers."
"Yeah I guess that's the connection."
"You okay?"
"Yeah, just a little tired."
"Too tired for movie night?"
"Never!" Lorelai said smiling, "Oh and when you're gone we can rent the same movie and talk about it over the phone so it seems like we're really enjoying movie night."
"Or we can do movie night every time I visit." Rory suggested.
"Oh we could do that."
"Since when did you want to watch a Kate Hudson movie?"
"All the good ones were taken, and when I got there Kirk wouldn't let me go back and check to see if I missed any movies."
"Since when did Kirk work at the video store?"
"Ever since he got fired as a mailman."
"Ah, I see." Rory said grabbing some popcorn. Seconds later the phone rang and Lorelai picked it up. "Hello?"
"I need to talk to you."
"Luke?"
"Yeah, listen can you come by the diner?"
"Sure, see you in a while."
"What's wrong?" Rory asked when Lorelai hung up the phone.
"Luke needs to talk to me, listen can you pause it until I come back?"
"Sure." Rory said pausing the movie.
* * *
Lorelai entered the diner and saw Luke cleaning the counter. "Hey"
"Oh hi."
"So."
"I'm sorry." Luke blurted out.
"For what? Calling me here?"
"No, for the flowers. I was feeling bad about our conversation before." Luke explained, "What happened this afternoon?"
"Oh about my attitude, well .." Lorelai said. 'I can't tell him about bumping into Nicole.'
"Nicole said that you seemed mad at her."
"No. I'm not I think Nicole is a wonderful person."
"She's moving in."
"With you?!"
"No with Kirk."
"Sorry, isn't it too soon?"
"Isn't it too soon to be moving to Boston?"
Lorelai frowned, remembering that she had plans to move too. "If this is your idea of getting back at me for telling you that then it's not working."
"What do you mean 'getting back at you'"
"Forget it. I have to go." Lorelai said standing up.
Luke sighed, 'At lease I told her.'
