"Wow, it's like Little House on the Prairie." Lorelai exclaimed as they pulled up in front of Jane's house. "Only it's not little, and we aren't really on a Prairie, but other then that it's the spitting image."
The house was settled on the base of a rather large hill, not really a mountain per say, but a large hill. And it was a big old farm house, white paint, blue trim.the works. Waiting outside as they pulled up the drive was Luke's Aunt Jane waving like crazy.
"Oh Lord, here we go" Luke murmured under his breath.
"Oh come on, this will be fun, it's only a few days, you can live through it I'm quite sure."
Before they even got out of the car there were two dogs barking at their side. And right behind them was Aunt Jane. She was a short plump woman, her hair up in a bun and an apron wrapped around her figure.definitely the kind of woman that Lorelai suspected would live in a house like this.
"Luke! Come here and give your Aunt a hug, I haven't seen you in like 5 years!"
"It's been about five months Aunt Jane, don't exaggerate."
In the mists of their reunion Lorelai hopped out of the truck and came up behind Luke and grabbed his hand.
"And you must be the new girl in our Luke's life, oh we are so excited that you could come dear, I'm Jane."
"Nice to meet you Jane, I'm Lorelai, and thank you so much for having me here. I really appreciate it."
"Well Luke has said so many wonderful things about you, how could we not! We were all dying to meet this Lorelai girl he is so fond of."
Luke looked down as if he wanted to avoid this conversation, but Lorelai being the person she was pushed the issue.
"Nice things? You don't say, well I can't wait to hear all of these wonderful things Luke's been saying about me, lets head inside, Honey will you grab my bags, and be careful with the small one, that's my shoes."
With that Lorelai and Jane headed into the house, and Luke turned to his truck.what had he gotten himself in to.
************************************************** As they entered the house smells of fresh baked food filled the house. "It smells wonderful in here Jane," said Lorelai, "What are you making?"
"Oh my dear, it's just some cookies and pies, didn't your mother ever bake for you."
"No, she had Jaques Bakery for that," Lorelai replied.
Luke followed them in with all of his and Lorelai's bags wrapped around every free limb. "Where do you want our stuff Aunt Jane," Luke asked.
"Oh well since your cousins are coming you and Lorelai can share your old Summer room upstairs," Aunt Jane replied
"Well maybe Lorelai would prefer her own room, or I could take the couch." Luke said uncomfortably looking and Lorelai, who had a 'this is way to fun' look to match her J. Crew Turtleneck.
"Oh honey, I know kids these days stay in the same bed, you don't have to hide anything from me, you two can have you're room."
"Alright" Luke said with a final huff, and up the stairs he headed to the room where he had spent many of his summers as a kid. It wasn't that he minded sharing a room with Lorelai, she was after all his best friend, but it was still a little awkward.
Lorelai stayed downstairs and began talking to Jane. "So tell me about yourself Lorelai? How did you meet our Luke?"
"Um." said Lorelai looking toward the stairs that Luke had just ascended. "We me when I moved to Stars Hallow with my daughter, we went into Luke's diner because my daughter needed some coffee."
"Oh so she was older when you moved there, I had been under the impression she was just a baby."
"Oh she was," Lorelai replied, "I wanted to get her hooked on the stuff early, it's kind of like piercing a kids ears when their younger, it's just easier."
"Well Luke talks about your daughter all the time too, he cares so much for both of you."
Lorelai smiled she knew that Luke cared for them both so much, he'd practically been Lorelai's father growing up, and he was her best friend.
Just as Lorelai was about to respond the phone rang, and Jane went to answer it, leaving Lorelai with her thoughts.
"Hello Jolene, yes he's here, one moment. LUKE," Jane hollered up the stairs, Jolene is on the phone."
Luke came bounding down the stairs and looked awkwardly at Lorelai; he took the phone from his Aunt Jane.
"Hello...hey what's up?...yeah I'm back in town.ummm I don't know.but..but..oh alright we'll see you there.bye."
"What did she want Luke?" Lorelai asked him. "Um some of my friends are going out to one of the bars tonight, and they invited me, but we don't have to go."
Jane looked at them both and left the room, obviously trying to avoid the conversation that she assumed would follow.
"Look Luke, you should go, I can fake a cold or something and stay into night.maybe you can rekindle something with this Jolene girl aye??" Lorelai said with a wink.
"No, I want you to come with me, it should be fun actually, I've got some great friends, besides Jolene will be there with her boyfriend..sooo."
".So you have to show up with your hot new girlfriend." Lorelai said jokingly.
"Yeah something like that.so do you want to go."
"Of course sounds like fun, let me go put my clubin' clothes on."
She was of course joking.Luke thought anyway, and we watched as she headed up stairs to get ready for their night on the town.
