Chapter Three- Lies, Dresses, and Ties

"New York" Luke explained flatly.

"You're going all the way to New York just to visit your sister? I still don't understand why I can't come" Nicole said.

"It's kind of personal, we need to work some things out. Besides, you've got work."

"Alright...." Nicole said.

"Okay? Well then, I'll see you on Monday. Bye nick."

"Bye Luke."

Luke sighed as he hung up the phone. It was Saturday morning and Lorelai hadn't come in for her usual cup of coffee.

He picked up the phone and dialed Lorelai's cell phone.

"Yea?" She asked

"Lorelai?"

"LUKE?? IT'S YOU IT'S REALLY YOU!" Lorelai said in a dramatic voice.

"Lorelai..."

"Sorry, what's up?"

"Just wondering why you didn't stop in this morning. I mean, If your sick or something I can just go to the party myself."

"Sick. Ha! Luke, you invite me to an engagement party in New York and you expect me not to buy a new outfit? I'm in the mall."

"Lorelai, if Invited you to go snail hunting in a swamp you would buy a new outfit."

"Do you actually do that? snail hunting in swamps? You're weird."

"Right, I'm the weird one..." Luke said.

"Okay, whatever you say, Crocodile Dundee. Look, this old lady is trying to steal the dress that I am carrying. BACK OFF!" She yelled. "Sorry, hey I gotta go okay?"

"Bye Lorelai. Thanks again."

"Of course." She said.

"Hey Lor, "

"Yea?"

"If it ever comes up with Nicole, don't tell her about the party."

"Where does she think you are going to be tomorrow? Vegetarianville??"

"New York, but she thinks I'm just visiting Liz to work stuff out."

"Oh, okay, I won't. Bye Luke."

"Bye."
