CH 2:
The POWER of the Magical Flakes!!
"Sir, she left a few hours ago." The french man droned, already annoyed at this man's persistence.
"Just please, could you tell me where she is?" Max practically pleaded, trying to reason with a disgruntled french man.
"Sir, I have no idea. I am not her keeper. I do not have a Lorelai Lo jack remote I can press then poof, I will be able to locate her whenever I am in need of her. Believe me, if such a device existed or could be implanted without her realizing it; I would have done it long ago to keep her from her incessant goofing off." Argued the French man.
"This is unbelievable."
"Sir Please, she left a few hours ago, I'm sure you will find her wherever there are coffee products sold."
"Of course." Well I'm definitely no Sherlock, that's for sure.
77777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777
"WOW!" Lorelai exclaimed.
"Good huh?"
"Oh My God, this is amazing." Shoveling another bite of this mystery, completely wonderful mixture in her mouth. "what is this tiny stuff called again?"
"Couscous."
"Well, I like it. ... I don't' know … there's something familiar about it" she chewed trying to place it. "… it's like… " she contemplated gesturing with her fork.
"Pasta?" he supplied.
"Yeah Pasta!!"
"That's because it is pasta, its from the middle east."
She was surprised, …"Since when were you so worldly, Julia Child? You seem like the turkey loaf and potatoes kinda guy to me."
"Well there's a lot you don't' know about me. " and he refilled her water, topped off her Coffee.
"I guess so." she studied his movements, as if secrets would be revealed simply by staring at him.
"...but, I'm glad you like it."
Snapping back to the conversation."You should serve stuff like this all the time. Ooooooo do theme dishes every week…" Scarping her plate clean.
"It's a diner, we don't do international themes." if I don't do decorations, what makes her think she can make me do themes,as he took her emptyplate.
"French fires?"
"Which were originally from Belgium."
"Well, maybe you should, that could be your thing, … I know I'd come here every day.."
"It's already Al's thing, you know how sensitive he is;and you do come here everyday."
She smiled at him, yeah I do, and then she noticed the time. "… Wow? Is it really that late.. and it's still snowing," she smiled at the magical flakes again. "convenient for you, you kinda work from home, so there's no crazy commute when you're snowed in." Luke plus road rage, that's a healthy combination, "Or you could actually sleep in like a normal person, and have a real snow day."
"Or it wouldn't matter if I opened or not, cause no one would be crazy enough to go outside in this weather, so I wouldn't have any customers, then I'd be free to answer the phone when a certain chatty friend of mine called me to brave the elements to shovel her walk for her, so she and her daughter won't kill themselves, because they are the affore mentioned crazy, and would go out in such weather to buy "fashion over function" shoes or something, and have never bought a shovel in all the years they lived here or on any of the shopping trips they have made."
WOW he's good. She could tell he was just using sarcasm to get her to stop being so suggestive. "Well sounds like you have a busy day tomorrow, so I'm gonna … go…" she almost wish she could stay, he would be all alone now, with thoughts of his dad, it just didn't sound right to her, He's usually alone Lorelai, he likes it, ... I guess. She had her own empty house to look forward too. "… thanks for dinner, and the coffee and the conversation." Miracle of Miracles.
"Hey," Just say it, man. "you uhhhhh want me to … " he nervously cleared his throat " … walk you home?…"
In a snow storm? Lorelai smiled at the offer from a gentleman. Haven't had one of those for a while, particularly a flannel clad one.

I must be insane. Wandering a strange town, on foot, in a snowstorm. Max had tried at the Inn, of course she left earlier. He didn't know this town, he couldn't even remember where her house was. Too many streets named after fruit. He tried every place that served coffee he could find ... well except Luke's diner.. she always talks about his coffee.
Max walked up to the door and saw the closed sign and the dim lights. As he turned around, wondering if he should just give up and get a room at the Inn, HER Inn. He then noticed with some amusement the renactors. This really is a strange little town.
With some reluctance he approached the group."Excuse me? Does anyone here know Lorelai Gilmore?"
"This is Stars Hollow, everyone knows everyone," Taylor eyed the stranger suspiciously.
"I see, well, I'm looking for Lorelai, I'm a friend of hers, could any of you point me in the direction of her house?"
"If you are her friend, wouldn't you already know where she lives?" interogated the snide, suspecting Taylor.
"Well see I know her address. I just need to get to her street."
Kirk decided to help the guy out, since he was a friend of Lorelai's, "Well, she just went in that direction a few minutes ago, I think she was heading back home. Across the square, past the giant slinky over on Klump, and turn right she's the end of that block."
Giant slinky? "Alright… thank you? have a good evening with your … muskets."
And Harry gripped that Luke might have been right about people passing through town with an event like this going on, maybe next year, they should have a sign.

Lorelai had her arm linked with Luke's. He had offered it since she complained she was cold, anything to get her to stop hopping up and down the entire walk to her house. Since they were no longer in the town square, it wouldn't be witnessed or misconstrued or speculated for the next month. "I have to say this was fun," She smiled at him.
"Yeah?"
"Yeah, we should just hang out more often. I think I need more adult time."
"You do spend a lot of time with teenagers."
"That is why I'm the Fun mom, I'm in touch with the youthful psyche. That is also why I think I lighten you up."
They found her street, then her house and climbed the stairs of her porch. "Well here you are, safe and sound." Luke smiled, trying to hide the disappointment that the evening was coming to a close. Who knows when we'll have this again. Just me and her.
"This is Stars Hollow, of course I'm safe and sound."
He started in a scold, "With the way you were hopping up and down, You could have fallen, slipped on some ice," then downgraded simply trying to justify his concern, while shifting his weight nervously " … broken something.".
"But I had you to break such a fall."
"Nice to know I'm good for something." he forced a smile. She will never see me.
They laughed, and just stared at each other once more. "Soooo" Lorelai began, "This really was fun." Wow, his eyes are pretty.
She already said that. "Yeah, it's not often that Rory isn't around." he replied, looking down at his boots. Where is Rory anyway? Probably inside.
"You saying you don't like my kid?" she teased.
"No, ...uh, that came out wrong, …"
"Luke relax. I know what you meant…" she laughed.
"Right, right ... well good night,…" I'm a grown man with butterflies in the pit of his stomach. Geez.
"Good night, … " Lorelai stopped him from walking away, by grabbing hold of his jacket, and she pulled him into a hug. "Thanks again,… for being my entertainment for the evening." she whispered in his ear. Dirty!
"Your Welcome." He gave her a light squeeze and savored the contact.
"Oooo you are nice and warm", Lorelai cooed, savoring his body heat. They began to pull away, but when their blue eyes met, and they froze. "I thought you liked the cold." Luke asked as he looked down at her, desperate to keep thetactlessness to a minimum.
She laughed lightly "I like the snow … big difference."
"Snow is still cold." Geez, That sounded Stupid.
It was then that Lorelai noticed the comfortable embrace they were in. Neither made a move to separate.
Luke couldn't believe her arms were around his waist. She was so beautiful, she was always beautiful. He had never been this close to her before and became lost in her ethereal blue eyes. It was as if his body was acting without his permission. He barely registered that he was leaning in to kiss her.
Insane thoughts over took her brain; Thoughts of Luke's eyes, his arms around her … Yeah that was it… that's what is happening temporary insanity, the SNOW … it's the SNOW, it's making me loopy, but are the insane supposed to be aware of it?? The next thing she knew was Luke had leaned in to kiss her, and she was kissing him back. A handsome man is kissing me under my porch light … a handsome man? It's Luke. God, why have we never done this before? This has never happened before, me bringing a guy home … but this ISN'T just a Guy, … it's LUKE!! Of all the guys to bring home, I pick Luke!!! Even so, she felt the need to deepen the kiss, to make it last for as long as possible.
Luke was surprised that she hadn't pulled away, or smacked him. So he tightened his arms around her, it felt so good to finally have her in his arms.
She did finally pull away, needing to catch her breath. Stupid Oxygen! "If we stay out here,… we might get frozen together."
Luke nervously cleared his throat, … again, and suggested "ummmm, yeah,… I should go…"
"OR." she added playfully, grabbing his jacket's collar again,to keep him from retreating.
"Or?" He was curious, but he still wanted to get out of there. He had just kissed her, and he didn't know what that meant how she would take it.
"Or you could come inside? … to Dry off?" noticing the melted snow on his jacket. "… Have some coffee?"
She was asking him inside, that was positive, but then she's probably want to talk about it. Why do women need to analyze every little thing, too much Oprah in this world, Geez. He didn't want to talk about it cause he didn't have answers. He didn't know why he did it. Well he knew WHY, he just didn't know why that moment was different from any other they had for the last four years of mock flirting/arguing/bantering. It just … happened. "I don't drink coffee."
"Well, you can make me some then? your's is the best …"she smiled.
Luke rolled his eyes at her addiction Woman, it's 10:30 at night! Still she'sasking me in? NO, She doesn't see me that way ... does she? Although she does seem rather calm. Shouldn't she be ranting or freaking out? " so this is all about what you want."
Lorelai wore that devious smile, thinking of the kiss from mere moments ago. "You could say that…" thinking of more adult alone time with Luke might lead to more than just kisses; and that might be a good thing. This thought made the smile turn positively wicked, but Luke didn't seem to notice. She pulled him closer to the door as she fumbled with the keys. She opened the door, and kept Luke at arms length as she pulled her escort inside with her.
7777777777777777 REALLY UNLUCKY FOR MAX YEAH BABY !! 777777777777777777777777777
Max stood stunned, he couldn't believe it. He had finally found her house, the neighbors gnomes were the give away…; and he had finally found her, standing on her porch, with her ... boyfriend? Of all the rotten Luck! Well, he was at least her date for the evening. Maybe it's not serious? However, They did seem rather … comfortable … with each other. and she had invited him inside.
This couldn't be worse. My car breaks down, stranded in a snow storm, in a strange mental town and the only woman I knew here, the only woman that has turned my head for the last year is taken. Well what could happen, she is a mother, Rory must be home.
Then again, maybe they had arrangements for Lorelai's date nights. Did she date? She seemed rather reluctant with me … maybe now I know why? She already had someone in the picture. Of course, someone as beautiful as her had to be taken already…
