This time, Luke expected to see the décor fade to an other one, but it didn't. The décor faded, but turned exactly the same way it was. Even the clothes of the young Luke were the same.
"Something's wrong? Nothing changed"
"No you don't like the change a lot"
"We learn something new everyday!" he said sarcastically "Seriously, what's wrong?"
"Jeez Danes, it's always the same story!" She said loosing her patience. "Ok, look, the décor is the same 'cause the next rendezvous, that's how we call those events, is here. So except if you, in the real life, change the décor, what doesn't happen often, it will stay the same. And for your clothes, it's not my fault if you always wear the same things" she said laughing and Luke rolled his eyes.
-------------------
The younger Luke seemed more serene than the last time. He was doing his morning routine and Luke was surprised how nothing changed in all those years. He began to prepare the dinner by the bakeries after the coffee and after the dining room. Just after, Kirk came in, he was always the first one, and not long after, some other customers followed him.
During this time, Emy explained to Luke how this was possible.
"Look, in your brain, you have a zone that controls dreams. This zone has the possibility to see the future, that's why we have those déjà-vu impressions"
"I see, and you?"
"Me, I'm the mental representation of your soul mate. You called me, I came. Maybe I'm not in your life right now, but I already was or will be. You'll have to find out who I am by yourself".
"Will I be in every rendezvous?
"Nah… some of them doesn't contain you, but they're always about you. Did you know that the human uses just 10 percent of his brain?
"Nope
"Now, you know. Indeed, some rendezvous are the results of the unused 90 percent. You figure by yourself what happened somewhere else. If you use all your brain, you're able to do lot of things like make things fly or, in our case, read other's mind.
"I see what you mean. But, why is nothing happening right now? I mean, you drink coffee, which is, by the way, really bad for you, and you speak to me, but nothing is happening, why?
"Apparently, you needed to talk, so you let yourself time to talk. But Lorelai will come in soon. Ok, let me tell you the context. It makes two month she didn't come here because of what you saw earlier. Weirdly, you miss her a bit. The dinner looks empty without her. But it doesn't matter because all you're wishing is to Rachel to come back."
At this time, Lorelai came in and the two of them approached the counter to see what happens.
"Hi Luke" she said with enthusiasm
"Hi" he said coldly "No Duke today?"
"You know? This Duke thing was just a bad joke. I just wanted to see how you would react and apparently, you don't like it so I stop".
"Thanks".
"Coffee?" she asked.
"This stuff will ya, you know that?" He said pouring her coffee.
"I know, but after two months, I really miss my little coffee. It's really good, you know?"
"Thanks"
"So… how are you?"
"What are you trying to do?"
"Look, it makes two months I didn't come here, and I really missed your coffee. Last week, Rory bought one for me that Caesar gave her, but it wasn't enough. I miss here, I miss the ambiance and I miss you. I miss to annoy you and to say stupid things. I like your way to take care of here and always be grumpy. You're special and I miss you. So, I thought, maybe we could be friend. What do you think about it?
"I think you're crazy.
"Thanks" She said smiling, but Luke seemed uncomfortable with this refusal.
"But you're right; the dinner lost it energy since you don't come, so if you want, you come when you want.
"Good" she said before being silent for a moment. "You think you could come by one day and fix our porch?"
"Ah! I knew there was something under all that.
"I know, the timing sucks, but it's really not secure. Rory almost fell from very high the other day and I really don't want her to be hurt. So we really need your help.
"Ok.
"Ok?
"Yeah, I'll come by tomorrow. Caesar will be able to keep the fort for an hour or two. So be home, I'll be there at two o'clock.
"Thank you, thank you. I love you, you're a Greek God, an angel, a love. Thanks to do it for me.
"I don't do it for you, I do it for Rory. She's really smart and I wouldn't want her to hurt herself.
"Honey, if you do it for her, you do it for me. She's all I have". She said smiling.
"I know". He answered to her smile.
"So see you tomorrow?"
"See you tomorrow".
"And with this, a great friendship began" Emy said clapping her hands.
