**
"Can you believe it's almost Christmas?" Rory exclaimed to Lorelai.
"I know, and we're supposed to spend it with your grandparents," Lorelai pouted.
"Unless you could come up with some really good excuse, like if you had to go out of town for some thing," Rory suggested diffidently.
Lorelai looked at Rory, out the window, then she froze. "Road trip." She shouted out the idea.
"We cannot go on a road trip," Rory scolded.
"Yes we can, it'll be so much fun, we can pack really warm clothes and stay at a cozy B&B, please?" Lorelai pleaded.
"What's your excuse to Grandma going to be?" Rory inquired.
"I have to go to out-of-town, oh I don't know, I'll think of an excuse, let's go pack now," Lorelai dragged Rory out of the diner.
"Christmas is only three days away, how are we going to pack and find a place to stay and come up with an excuse that'll satisfy Grandma?" Rory questioned her mother.
"I'll think of something, now's let go." Lorelai dragged her daughter past Doose's Market, down the street to the Gilmore abode.
**
A tall dark shadow moved silently down Main Street, a ragged outline that for a split second could've been that of a monster.
Then it was gone, as if never there.
**
"What are we doing for Christmas?" Jess asked Luke.
"I never do anything for Christmas, why do you want to do something" Luke questioned.
"Usually Mom, Dad and I would go on a trip somewhere, like Switzerland or Paris," Jess shrugged nonchalantly.
"Must be nice to go somewhere like that for Christmas," Luke said enviously.
"Why don't you close the diner for a few days, and we could take off somewhere?" Jess suggested.
Luke looked stunned that Jess had suggested they do something together. "I'll think about it."
"Don't take too long, or Christmas will be over." Jess said on his way out the door, slamming it behind him.
He went out into the alley, behind the diner, where'd he parked his motorcycle, in Luke's shed.
He mounted it, pumped the throttle and tore off down the road. He passed a sign that read, "Thanks for visiting Stars Hollow, come again."
**
"Mom, let's go to Luke's for dinner, there's nothing edible in the house," Rory yelled up the stairs.
"Okay, I'll be right there hon, could you grab my black winter coat, it should be in the closet somewhere," Lorelai yelled back.
Rory walked over to the closet, pulled open the door, grabbed her mom's coat and waited.
They made it over to Luke's before the dinner rush. "Hey Luke, where's Jess?" Rory asked.
"He took off a couple hours ago, said he'd be back later," Luke answered.
Rory looked out the window into the darkening night and hoped Jess would be back soon.
**
Jess pulled into the driveway of his house. He took off his helmet and looked up at the house that held so many memories for him. More sad than good. Now his parents were dead, and he was all alone. He walked into the house, most of the furniture was covered by white sheets.
Jess stood at the door to his bedroom, it was empty, all his stuff was in storage or at Luke's. His extensive book collection was mostly at Luke's. Silently, he walked throughout the house and said goodbye to the rooms.
**
"Why don't we go on a road trip together?" Lorelai suggested to Luke, after he'd told her of his plans to shut the diner for a few days. But he was still unsure of where to go.
"Rory and I were going to go New Haven and stay in one of their B&B's. You want to come, please say you will?" Lorelai asked.
"Okay sure," Luke agreed.
**
"So, did you figure out what you want to do for Christmas?" Jess asked Luke as he got ready for bed.
"Yeah, we're going on a road-trip with Lorelai and Rory," Luke said.
"A road-trip with those two, what were you thinking of?" Jess cringed.
"What'd you mean?" Luke asked loudly.
"It's bad enough seeing them everyday, but being around them 24/7, can you imagine?" Jess froze as if in thought.
"It won't be that bad," Luke turned out his light. "Now go to sleep. We have an early start, we're getting up at 5."
**
"Time to pack," Lorelai's voice rang out cheerfully.
"Go away, it's still dark out, are you real, or a bad dream?" Rory mumbled sleepily.
"Luke and I agreed that we would leave at six a.m.!"
"And how did Luke manage to get you to agree that you would be there at this ungodly hour?" Rory asked.
"Gallons and gallons of coffee," Lorelai said.
"Sure." Rory reluctantly rolled out of bed, and made her way to the bathroom. "I need to have a shower to wake up, I'll pack after that."
**
"Here we are," Lorelai chirped happily.
"How can you be so cheery this early in the morning?" Luke asked. "Oh I know, you've already had about 5 cups of coffee."
"Yep, keep them coming, or you can walk," Lorelai said.
**
"Can you believe we're going to New Haven, I mean I know it's not that far away, but it's still somewhere," Rory joyfully said.
Jess sat in the passenger seat reading. He nodded.
"Jess, about that thing that happened in the closet, what exactly is happening between us? I still have a boyfriend, technically I haven't broken up with Dean."
Jess looked up, "Rory, I have feelings for you, but right now isn't really the time to talk about this. I don't take what we're doing lightly, it means a lot to me. Know that."
Rory was silent, she stared straight ahead, watching her Mom's Jeep as it followed the curve of the road.
**
"We've arrived." Lorelai walked up the rustic stairs of the New Haven Bed & Breakfast.
"Cozy." Jess shivered.
"Quaint." Rory followed her mom and Luke inside and was greeted with. "What'd you mean you're full!"
"I'm sorry miss, but if you phoned in advance I could've saved you the trip," the nice woman behind the counter was saying.
"That's just lovely." Lorelai stormed out of the office and back outside.
"You'll have to excuse her, she was looking forward to this." Luke said.
"Well now that I think about it, there is a cabin a bit away from here, isolated, that we have permission to rent out, in dire circumstances, like this," the woman said.
"That would be great." Luke made the arrangements, got the keys, directions and left.
"Can you believe that!" Lorelai exclaimed.
"It's okay, I found us alternate accommodations," Luke said.
**
Situated far back from the highway, a rustic cabin was well hidden in the trees.
"This is perfect," Lorelai clapped her hands in glee. She leaned over and planted a steamy kiss on Luke's lips. "Thank you."
"It's beautiful," Rory exclaimed.
"Yeah," Jess repeated.
Rory and Lorelai parked their cars beside the cabin. Luke and Jess carried their luggage inside.
"How many bedrooms?" Lorelai yelled to Rory up the stairs.
"There's four up here, perfect for us." Rory yelled down the stairs. She noted that two bedrooms each were situated on opposite sides of the house, and had connecting doors..
**
"This is so perfect," Lorelai stretched her arms out and twirled around. "It's snowing," she squealed in excitement.
Luke watched her, so totally in love with her. He couldn't tell her that, it would scare her off. She was finally just admitting that she felt something for him and he wanted to build on that.
He started a fire in the hearth. "Where are Rory and Jess?" he looked around.
"They're upstairs, picking out their rooms." Lorelai turned to look at him. "Can you believe this place is ours for the next three days and three nights."
"It's almost unbelievable, like a fantasy," Luke said the last three words quietly.
**
If you want more, then review, I want 10+ reviews again. Ch. 7 will be up on Dec. 26. Look for it then. As you will have read, there are no steamy scenes, thought I should take a break from them for this chapter. Doesn't mean the next chapter won't have any. Thanks to those who reviewed, keep them coming. Merry Christmas.
