1.1.1.1.1 Chapter 3: Trkkies, Small Talk, and 911
Authors note: I have and will be making some anitvegetarian/health-food- eating-people jokes. I would like to say that I am a vegetarian and mean nothing against others by the jokes.
**************************************************************************** ******************************************************
Lorelai spent a while trying to figure out what to wear, without looking like she was on a date, but she wanted to look better than usual. Then she spent the rest of the time "cleaning" AKA throw everything under the couch, and in closets that looked messy, and hide anything that needed fixing. She did not want him to be distracted by all of the broken objects.
Lorelai: *What if Rory, Sookie, Miss Patty, and the rest of the town are right? What if Luke is in love with me? I'll have to make it clear that I am not about to jeopardize our friendship in the hopes of pleasing him with something more. I have to make this clear tonight. But I first have to find out if he is in love with me.*
1.2 Luke knocked on the door
Lorelai: *Wlaaaaa* Hi, come in. Wait (she blocked the doorway) Do you have coffee?
Luke: Yup, three for you, none for me.
Lorelai: Okay, you can come in.
Luke and Lorelai walked into the kitchen, Lorelai hid a broken coffee cup while Luke put the food on the table. Lorelai had done her best to set it nicely, but having Charlie's Angles plates and Precious Moments paper towels made that difficult.
Luke: Precious Moments paper towels?
Lorelai: I know, they make me want to gag, but I was running low on caffeine when I bought them and my vision was blurred.
They sit down and Lorelai notices Luke trying to figure out how to pick up his food.
Lorelai: Is that a real burger and fries?
Luke: Yep.
Lorelai: Wow, what happened to 'red meat can kill you, enjoy"?
Luke: I decided to take a risk.
Lorelai: Really.
Luke: Well, they haven't killed you yet.
Lorelai: good point, but I don't recommend having it published in the Medicine Journal of New England.
Luke: The New England Medicine Journal?
Lorelai: Whatever.
There was a long awkward silence that lasted a few minutes
Lorelai: Don't you hate long awkward silences? The seconds seem to last hours, and they are very awkward.
1.2.1.1.1.1.1 Luke says nothing, but stairs in disgust at the red liquid dripping from his burger
Lorelai: Luke, we need to talk.
Luke: 'bout what?
Lorelai: Serious stuff.
Luke: Confusing stuff like you started before?
Lorelai: Yes.
Luke: Eat, fix, than talk.
Lorelai: A man of minimum words. You're just putting off the talking, but okay. (She noticed a clay sculpture that Rory had made in first grade that needed gluing, and tried to come up with a way to hide it.)
Luke: No, thinking about serious stuff, or too much stress while eating can cause stomach problems, and I am already taking a risk with this burger.
Lorelai: Okay, small talk than. Lets talk about you being a trekkie…
They continued to talk for a few hours. Luke turned out to be so hungry that he ate his whole burger and half of Lorelai's.
Luke: (Standing up and moving towards the cabinets) Do you have anything that even resembles something nutritious?
Lorelai: Well, we have slim-jims, old pop tarts, easy Mac, and you might be able to find some yoo-hoo and squeeze cheese in the back of the fridge, but if you mean anything that resembles a plant, protean bar, or tofu you might want to try Woodstock. Maybe there are a few hippies left that can spare you some chickpea salad.
Luke starts to walk back towards his chair, sways and falls into a heap of limbs on the kitchen floor.
