CHAPTER 1 - It had to be you, wonderful you, it had to be you...
Lorelai awoke the next morning from a dream which frankly was a little disturbing. At first it had been wonderful... and then it just got weird.
She was standing in a forest, it was a beautiful sunny day. She wore a gorgeous summer dress and her hair was being very good to her, which always meant good things. She walked around for a while, barefoot no less. And then she came upon something.
It was Stars Hollow, she knew that's what it was, but only because the signs and people were there. Everything looked kind of... renaissance-ish. The buildings, the clothes, but at the same time it was still her good old Stars Hollow.
And then there'd been Luke. Oh, Luke... He rode, yes rode, toward her on a horse. He wore flannel period clothes, and to top it off, what you could have called a period cap. It was as though he'd been a character on those cartoon shows where the characters moved in time so their clothes were simply a variation of their regular ensemble. Totally odd.
"Quick, get on," he told her as he stopped next to her.
"Why? What's the matter?" she asked.
"Would you just..." finally he sighed and pulled her up behind him. "Hold on!" He got the horse going again and as she held on to him she wondered what on earth was going on. That's when she heard the sound of coming horses. She turned her head and saw them coming. Each horse held one of their fellow Stars Hollow citizens.
"Luke, what's going on?"
And that was always when she woke up. She'd had this dream for a few days now and it was starting to freak her out. On that morning when she woke from it, she wanted to tell Rory about it, and then she remembered... Rory was probably in Paris or Rome or something right now. She stuffed her head into her pillow with a small whimper.
Then she smelled something... food? How could that be? Rory wasn't there, she wasn't down there, so how could there be cooking? She got up and slowly tiptoed down to the kitchen. She was one with the wall as she slid along until the corner, then dared a peek around. She sighed of relief and breathed in the bacon and eggs as she walked into the kitchen proper.
"What on earth? Why Luke Danes, I'm shocked. Breaking into a lady's home like this and making her breakfast. Why that's just scandalous..." she spoke with a lilt to her voice. He hadn't yet looked over but was putting a plate of what he'd made on the table. "... and delicious," she finished with a grin. He finally took in her appearance, in her light PJs and she could swear he blushed for half a second.
"Well, I figured I owed you after running off the other night, so..." he sort of smiled, turning back to get her some coffee.
"Hey," she grinned, taking his hand. He turned to her and she kissed him. Both were nothing but smiles after that as she sat to breakfast and finally joined her to eat a minute later.
"Well, I'm afraid I have some bad news. I walked by the theater this morning and they're closed tonight."
"What? But they're never closed. Never. Not even when Pete broke his thumbs trying to beat Kirk in that video game war they had, he just kept 'em coming."
"I don't know, I didn't ask." There was a pause. "So what do we do about tonight?" She thought for a second, took a few bites of her meal, drank a sip of coffee. Then she nodded to herself.
"Okay, I got it. Here's what we'll do. You go to the video store and find two movies you absolutely love. It can be anything. I'll do the same. Then tonight we'll come here and we'll watch the movies. It could be interesting, you know?"
"Alright, I like that," he nodded.
"You do?"
"Yeah. Don't sound so surprised," he raised an eyebrow.
"I'm not," she assured him. "So it's a deal?"
"Deal."
"Good. Let's strike on it," she held up her coffee cup. He did the same and they struck cups. This would be interesting for sure. She wondered which movies he'd pick.

Alright, it's short, I know, but that's all I could manage in this time I had... but I'll continue tomorrow. Coming up, the movie date :) If you'd like to suggest movies, go right ahead, I could use some help there ;) Thanks for the comments guys and keep 'em coming :)
