Hey there! This is my first fanfic, I hope youll like it (It s LL all the way!!!!)!
...and english is not my first language and I dont havesomeone to check for mistakes so I reckon that there r gonna be some grammar mistakes in it.
Disclaimer: I dont own any of the characters except Sina. I created her. But I dont own Luke and Lorelai. They belong to Amy Sherman Palladino and if I did own them, they would be spending every damn episode of Gilmore Girls trying to make babys and declaring their love to eachother!!!

It had always been their thing. Fighting. But things had changed. They had a realtionship now. A real relationship. And both of them were "all in", as they had confirmed to each other. Everyone in Stars Hollow had been waiting for them to happen. In Taylors words "feared" the relationship "for some time". But when it happened everyone seemed to be rather pleased, that the dance they had been performing around eachother for years now, was finally finished. Luke and Lorelai were an item. They were "co-mingling". Finally… and "I told ya so, doll!"
-------
It had been hours since the fight and Luke was standing behind the counter wiping it for the upteenth and last time that day. He had given Ceasar and Lane the night off, because they had been covering for him a lot lately. And now that he wasn t going to spend the night at Lorelais and now that he needed to clear his mind, he was closing up for the first time in how long? He couldn t even remember, but that was mostly because he couldn t think straight.
I hate this! he thought. But still, he just couldnt be the one giving in.
Not this time. This time she has to come crawling
But wasn t it her who caved-in first, last time?!
Yeah well, but this time its different!
No its not. Or maybe it is, because you seem to have lost a lot of brain while watching so much TV with her, Danes!
Stop insulting me!
We are one person, what are you gonna do? Hit me?
This is stupid he thought for the hundreth time. With a deep sigh he turned around to go clean up the stove, when he heard the bell jingle. He stoped his track, jumping up and down inside, because he thought that she had come to apologize to him. She, Lorelai Gilmore, the most stubborn person he knew (besides himself….), came to apologize (I won, I won, I won!!! Ah geez, she really rubs off on me).
Not showing a hint of his excitement (as usual) he turned around slowly, breathing in deeply, trying to calm himself down befor looking up at her. Yes, he was going to make it easy for her, because he just couldnt wait to have her in his arms again, smelling her hair, kissing her lips! Oh, he was going to make it so easy for her, she wouldnt even have to say a word, coming here was enough for him to forgive her.
Looking up at the woman that just entered his diner, he felt disappointment stabbing his organs. The woman standing in front of him wasnt Lorelai. She was a stranger. Short, blonde and with an exhausted look on her face, staring up at him.
"Coffeeeee!" she said, looking at him with that same desperate spark in her eyes, he loved so much when he saw it in Lorelais eyes.
"Um I beg you pardon?"
"Please tell me your not closed, tell me you ve got coffe. Just one cup. Please! I´ll pay you 100 bugs. You want more? Okay I´ll make it 200. Just give me coffe! You know, I just had the worst week of my life and some how, everything seems to be falling apart and its like in that movie with that really good-looking guy. Oh my god! See, I cant even make good pop cultur references. You dont know me but I tell you: thats my thing. Thats what I always do and now I cant even do that. My life is over. I m done. I m a nothing." She said, whining!
She is whining. Wow. She really reminds me of someone. And what was that about pop cultur references? Wait! Whats up with that accent? She sounds european.
"Where are you from?" Luke asked, filling the mug that he just put on the counter in front of the woman.
"What?" she asked, looking right into his eyes. He was a little shocked, because her eyes seemed to be filled with pain.
"Where are you from?"
"Oh, yeah right, I should have known, my stupid accent. I m from Germany" she said, sounding a little bitter. She then lifted up the mug and started gulping down the coffe. When she set it down again, there was barely any left. wow Luke thought again, not only does she ramble like Lorelai, she can also drink that stuff like her. She s like the german version of Lorelai.
"Refill please" she demanded smiling for the first time. Stunned because of the resemblance to the woman of his dreams he emtied the pot he was still holding in his right hand into the mug without thinking about it.
"So what are you doing here?" he asked, while she started gulping down her second cup. When she set the cup down, it was still half full. Her eyes were shining.
"Oh. My. God!"
"What?"
"This is the most amazing coffe I ve ever had and believe me, I ve had a lot of coffe in my life so far, because coffe is my best friend and its always nice to have a friend around! Whats the secret ingredience?"
His lips were forming a smile. That is exactly what she said, when she had her first cup of my coffe. Well except that she said it without an accent… but still, the similarity… Maybe they are related or something. But they dont look alike at all and Lorelai hasnt got that thing in her eyes. Lorelais eyes dont mirror that sort of deep pain. Something really bad must have happened to that girl.
"Hey! Earth to Coffe God, I asked you something!" She even did the "waving her hands in front of his face" just like Lorelai sometimes did.
"I put a little nutmeg in it" because thats how she likes it (dirty) and because I thought that she would maybe come here tonight… Oh I hate this!
"Wow, great idea! I gotta remember that!"
"So what are you doing here? Are you visiting your relatives or something?"
"Nah. I´m just… oh nevermind. Hey, do you know a hotel or something, where I can stay the night at?" She seemed to be nervous. Yes, she was nervous. And even now she reminded him of Lorelai. She was rummaging through her purse, trying to avoid any eyecontact.
"Yeah. The Dragonfly Inn. So you dont have any relatives here?"
"Sounds nice.Where is it?" she asked, ignoring his question and finally finding what she had been looking for: her wallet.
"Not far from here. If you want, I can give you a lift." he offered. That woman had gotten to him and he knew why. Not only was she showing signs of similarity to Lorelai, she also had that something in her eyes, he always got, when he thought of his dad!
"Nah thanks, I think Ill be allright if you just tell me how to get there. Ive been enough trouble for you already. Werent you closing up?!"
Wow, that was so not Lorelai, she would have made me come with her, wouldnt she? Oh my god! I just met that woman and Im already comparing her to Lorelai!!! Ah geez. I even started comparing her to Lorelai, the moment she set her foot into this diner! I really need to stop thinking about her or I will definitely got crazy! Suddenly he realized, that he didnt even asked her name… And that she was holding up two 100 dollar notes!!!
"What are you doing?"
"I´m being a normal customer paying for my coffe. Why?" she said as if paying 200 bugs for one cup of coffe was the most normal thing in world.
"Are you saying, that you wanna pay me 200 bugs for some coffe?"
"Yeah. So where is this Inn you were talking about?" she asked while she was reaching over the counter, putting the money into the chestpocket of the stunned diner-owner.
"No, that is too much!" he said, reaching for his pocket to give her her money back. She stoped him, taking his hands and putting them down to his sides.
"Come on. I said I was gonna pay you that much. And believe me, if I Couldn t afford it, I wouldnt give you that much money. Just see it as a payment for coffe and information about a place I can stay at, okay? Good. Now please tell me where this Inn is because even though I just had that Cup of Heaven Im still going to fall asleep any minute, because I ve been awake for over 50 hours now!"
"Okay, tell you what. Im gonna take that money if you let me drive you to the Inn."
Maybe Lorelais still there and we can talk
"Thats a deal, Mister. Whats your name by the way?"
"Luke"
"Nice to meet you Lukey, Im Sina"
"Dont call me that!"
"Call you what?"
"My names Luke"
"Alright Pookey" he rolled his eyes.
"Its Luke! L. U. K. E.!"
"Wow, bugging you is fun! Lets go before you get too annoyed with me"
"Good idea" he said grabbing his keys to lock the door behind her.

"So what are you doing in Stars Hollow? If you dont have any relatives or friends here, then theres not really anything to visit!" he said when they were in his truck, heading to the Dragonfly Inn.
"I dont know. Things got a little heated over there in Germany and I kind of decided to leave head over heals and got on the next flight to New York. And there was this guy at the airport in New York who asked me if I knew where I was headed and I blurted out that I just wanted a break from my life to sort things out and I asked him if he knew a place in the middle of nowhere, well actually I think I used the word shithole, no offence. Anyway, he said that he once passed through a place called Stars Hollow and that he thought, that that could be the right place for me. So I decided to give it a go and now Im here"
"Oh" Luke said wondering what could get so heated that a young woman like her (she must be in her midtwenties) would fly off to a different country. Maybe its the same thing that's causing the eye-thing he thought.
"What oh? You mean why would I just leave my homecountry?"
"Yeah"
"Well as I said, I just need to figure things out, you know? I just really needed to get away. But not just away but like really away away."
"What does really away away mean?"
" I dont know. Just far away I guess."
"And you just hopped on a plane?"
"Yeah"
"Wow, okay." Something must have happened he thought.
"Yeah. So where are we headed?"
" The Dragonfly Inn. It just opened like four months ago. My girlfriend is the owner… Well she… and her friend…" Luke was a little embarrased, because he just told a stranger that he had a girlfriend. Very Un-Luke, but the fight had kind of gotten to him… Yeah, right! Kind of is a good one. Luke sighed.
"You dont seem to happy about your girlfriend!?"
"Yeah, well…, you know…, we had a fight…"
"Oh, Im sorry. But youre gonne sort things out, right?" Wow, she must be a special one, if she gets to him like that. He seems devastated by the fight Sina thought.
"Right." Luke said, his mind drifting off. I hope we will. I hate fighting with her. She just doesnt get it. I want this to work but when she doesnt even tell me that that stupid Christopher guy is in town and staying at her house, I just cant do anything else than freak out. Doesnt she realise, that everytime he comes to town, they end up together. I just cant stand it. That guy staying at her house, goddammit. I cant do anything else than get all jealous and act stupid. Its not my fault that Im in love with her. She could just not look at me like she does and not always do that hair thing and just not be so unbelivably beatiful and…
"Shit!"
That was the last thing he could say before his head hit the steering wheel and the lights went off.
-------
Inside the Dragonfly, Lorelai was trying to concentrate on her paperwork, when she heard the crash. Her head shot up. What was that? She walked around the desk and out to the porch. She saw one light of a car. But something about it seemed familiar to her.
"Oh my god. Thats Lukes truck!" she yelled running towards it.
