Disclaimer: Santa was very good to me this year. I got the first two seasons of Gilmore Girls on DVD. However, the rights to the show and its characters were not included. But my birthday is in two months, so there's still hope!

Summary: If you're on the fifth chapter of a fic, shouldn't you know what it's about? No? Okay, it's a series of father-daughter moments between Rory and Luke.

AN: So, thank you for the reviews! You are all so nice! Here's the latest chapter. I know New Year's has already happened, but oh well. And there is a little bit of Java Junkieness in this chapter. So, here you go!

Chapter 5

"So, what movies are we getting for New Year's Eve," Rory asked her mom as they waited for Luke to bring them their breakfast. "And Lane can still come, right?"

"Of course Lane can come. She's your best friend. And I was thinking, how about a Hitchcock marathon? Get Psycho, The Birds, maybe even go completely old school and get Strangers on a Train and Rear Window. What do you think? Ring in 1995 scared out of our wits."

"Great! Hey, is Sookie still coming over?"

"No, Sookie's going to spend New Year's Eve with Michael, her new boyfriend."

"Do you think Luke has any plans? Because he can't be alone on New Year's, that's just not right. Can you ask him if he can come over, please?" Rory said.

"Luke? Really? Um, I'll ask him if he's doing anything."

Later, after Rory had gone over to Lane's house, Lorelai went up to the counter.

"Hey, Luke." Lorelai said. "What are you doing for New Year's Eve?"

"Nothing. It's a ridiculous holiday. Big deal, it'll go from December 31 to January 1. It's done it for years. Who really cares?"

"How can you think that? It's a chance to start anew. Make resolutions…"

"That no one keeps. Why'd you want to know?"

"Well, Rory, Lane, and I are having a movie night. Hitchcock movies all night. Why don't you come? It'll be fun."

"Um, okay. What time?"

"Is 6 too early?"

"Nah, the diner's pretty much dead after that, so I can just close early and come over after that."

"Okay, see ya then."

"Mom! Luke's here," Rory yelled as she ran to get the door. "Hi Luke! What's in the bags?"

"Hey Rory. Well, I figured that if I was going to come over, I better bring food or else you two might turn on me. But I didn't know you'd have enough food for the two of you, Lane, and everyone else in the Western Hemisphere. My God, do you have enough?"

"That's right. You've never been to a Gilmore movie night and it's a special occasion, so that equals slightly more food than normal." Rory said, excitedly. "Lane's here!"Rory yelled, running to the door again.

"Hey Luke." Lorelai said, as she came into the living room.

"How much sugar and or caffeine has Rory had today? I've never seen her that hyper before," Luke said, slightly amused.

"Yeah, she's had about four Mountain Dews and a lot of candy. She figured if she gets completely wired then she'll definitely be awake at midnight. She's never been able to stay up that late. She's always fallen asleep around 11:30. Hopefully, she doesn't go into the sugar coma until after midnight, or she will be very disappointed."

"Yeah, well I wouldn't her to be disappointed. So, I brought some burgers for the three of you, a salad for me, and some cherry pie for later."

"You are the best! Okay, let's try to find a spot for that on the coffee table. I can't believe I'm about to say this, but we may have gotten a bit too much food."

"No! Too much food for the Gilmores! I didn't think there was enough food on Earth for that."

"Yeah, you're right. What was I thinking?"

"Mom, what movie are we going to watch first?" Rory asked as she and Lane came back into the living room.

"Well, we have to save Psycho for last. So, The Birds, Strangers on a Train, or Rear Window?" Lorelai said.

"Can we watch Rear Window first? It's the least scary." Rory said.

"Any objections? Okay, Rear Window it is." Lorelai said. "Do we have all the snacks we need, cuz we can't get up in the middle of the movie to get food?"

"Well, we have all the chocolate stuff, Red Vines, the stuff for Smores, cookie cake, the food that Luke brought, I think we have it all. Oh Luke! Since you don't eat junk food, we got healthy snacks for you too!" Rory said, excitedly.

"Thank you. Okay, so what exactly is Rear Window?" Luke asked.

"You've never seen Rear Window?" Lorelai and Rory said at the exact same time. "How is that even possible?"

"I don't see a lot of movies."

"But Jimmy Stewart, Grace Kelly, Raymond Burr. Plus Alfred Hitchcock directing, how have you never seen it?"

"I just haven't. Just get the movie started already. Geez, the look on your faces you'd think I'd said I killed someone."

Shortly before midnight, The Birds ended and Lorelai got up to put in Psycho, when she looked down and saw that both Rory and Lane were asleep.

"Hey Luke, the sugar coma hit. Oh well, next year, she should be able to make it to midnight. She's gonna be mad tomorrow." Lorelai said.

"Aw, that sucks. If she's upset tomorrow, come by for breakfast and I'll make her some of those chocolate chip pancakes she loves so much."

"Okay, we'll do that. Hey, it's only a couple minutes until 1995 begins. Do you want a beer or something?"

"Sure, why not?"

"Here, let's go in the kitchen. They're pretty much dead to the world, but still."

"So, thanks for inviting me over. I'm sure Rory and Lane just wanted to have a girl's night." Luke said as Lorelai handed him a beer.

"What are you talking about? Didn't I tell you it was Rory's idea for you to come over?"

"No, you didn't."

"Yeah, she said there's no way someone should have to be alone on New Year's and she wanted to be sure you spent it with someone who cares for you, so she asked me to invite you. You realize that Rory adores you, don't you?"

"She doesn't adore me." Luke said, getting a little embarrassed.

"Yes she does. And I can see why. You're great with her. You're really the only constant guy in her life. Her dad's out in California and never comes to visit. Don't even get me started on either of her grandfathers, but you're always there for her. She really appreciates it and I do too."

"Well, the feeling's pretty mutual. It's not hard to be there for her, cuz you've done such a great job with her. She's an amazing kid, Lorelai, and she's incredibly lucky to have a mom like you." Luke said, turning to look at Lorelai.

Luke and Lorelai just stood looking at each other for a moment.

"Hey, it's midnight. Happy New Year, Luke." Lorelai said, giving Luke a hug.

"Happy New Year, Lorelai," Luke said, hugging her back. "Well, I probably better get home. But I'll see you guys tomorrow for breakfast, right?"

"Of course. Bye Luke."

As Luke went back into the living room to get his coat, he stopped and knelt down next to Rory, who was sound asleep.

"Happy New Year, Rory. I love ya, kid," Luke said and gave Rory a kiss on the forehead.

AN 2: I had to throw in a little about Hitchcock. He is one of my heroes. I also had to do that, cuz I don't know what movies were out in 1995 that they would watch. In 1995, unless it was Disney, I knew nothing about it, seeing as I was 5 at the time. My movie obsession didn't start until I was about 8. So, I know there wasn't a whole lot of Rory Luke interaction, but I wanted to add a little bit more JJness, but the next chapter will be Luke and Rory. I promise. I'll try to get it up tomorrow, but who knows? So, hope you all had a happy New Year! So, please review! And I go back to school on Tuesday, so the updates won't be as often, but with any luck, I'll have time to write in class. Except now I'll have one less class that I'd be able to write in, unless my PE teacher is cool and lets me write, but everybody says she's mean and gah, I hate PE! So, now that I'm through babbling, please review!
