A/N: The cooking classroom was set on fire, but it was just a minor one, just in case you were wondering… Piper's desk however was burn down and some of the equipment broken, but they have already been repaired.

CUT TO – Gilmore House kitchen – morning

(LORELAI is sitting at the table, a cup of coffee next to her and the phone in her hand)

LORELAI: It was all so weird, we hugged and –

RORY: You hugged her?

LORELAI: I hugged my mother and we were crying and apologising.

RORY: Are you sure you're okay?

LORELAI: We spent an entire movie night without fighting.

RORY: I'm so proud of you.

LORELAI: Thank you.

RORY: Maybe the three of us should have a movie night sometime. (joking)

LORELAI: Don't overdo it, offspring, besides, we first have to get my parents back together.

RORY: Copy that. Do you have a plan?

LORELAI: I'm gonna call dad today and ask him what's going on.

RORY: That's your plan?

LORELAI: Do you have a better one?

RORY: No, sorry. Paris forgot to buy coffee and now I have to drink decaf.

LORELAI: You are forgiven.

(EMILY enters)

LORELAI: (puts her hand on the speaker) Good morning mom.

EMILY: Good morning Lorelai.

LORELAI: (back on the phone) Ror, I'm gonna leave you to it now. Go search yourself some caffeine.

RORY: By mom. Say hi to grandma for me.

LORELAI: I will. Bye (hangs up the phone)

EMILY: Was that Rory?

LORELAI: She says hi.

EMILY: That's nice of her. How is she?

LORELAI: Grumpy, Paris forgot to buy coffee.

EMILY: Are you drinking caffeine?

LORELAI: Relax, mom, it's decaf. Are you hungry?

EMILY: Yes, I am actually.

LORELAI: Get your coat, we're going to Luke's.

CUT TO – Luke's – morning

(EMILY and LORELAI enter. LUKE looks up and LORELAI smiles, she goes over and kisses him)

LUKE: So? (whispering in her ear)

LORELAI: It went great. We even hugged.

LUKE: (frowns) Tell me later.

LORELAI: I will. (returns to the table where EMILY is sitting)

LUKE: (follows) Good morning Emily.

EMILY: Luke.

LUKE: So, how can I help you girls?

LORELAI: I want coffee, two blueberry pancakes, a muffin and fries.

LUKE: Fries?

LORELAI: What? Pancakes are good, muffins are good, fries are good, so the combo can't be anything less than fantastic.

LUKE: Fries it is. What would you like Emily?

EMILY: Pancakes and some coffee will be fine.

LUKE: Did she have coffee already?

EMILY: She did, but she said it was decaf.

LUKE: Lorelai?

LORELAI: It was decaf, I swear, you can go smell my mug, it's disgusting.

LUKE: I'll hold you to that.

LORELAI: Now go get us something to eat, will you?

LUKE: Yes ma'am. (he goes back to his counter and shouts the order to Caesar, takes two cups of coffee and brings them to LORELAI and EMILY)

LORELAI: Thank you.

LUKE: No more until noon.

LORELAI: But.

LUKE: No buts. Are you going to be like that for the coming six months.

LORELAI: Yes.

LUKE: Great.

CUT TO – Stars Hollow High Cooking Class – morning

STUDENT #1: Mrs. Halliwell, I think I have a problem.

PIPER: (comes over and looks at the girl's baking form.) Were you trying to make a crèpe?

STUDENT #1: A what?

PIPER: A crèpe, a French pancake?

STUDENT #1: (frowns) I don't know what I did wrong.

PIPER: Did you use milk?

STUDENT #1: Milk? (looks at her notes) Yeah, I was kinda wondering what that scribble meant.

PIPER: (sighs) It's okay, just try to take better notes next time.

STUDENT #1: Yes ma'am.

PIPER: The bells going to go off any minute now so please start cleaning up your stuff.

And don't forget your assignment for next week, and don't let anyone else make that recipe for you, 'cause you'll be asked to make it in class.

STUDENT #2: But miss!

PIPER: No buts, Jason (the bells rings) Class dismissed.

(PIPER leans on her desk and a few students come to her)

STUDENT #3: Mrs. Halliwell?

PIPER: What's wrong Rosie?

STUDENT #3: Nothing, at all. We were just…

STUDENT #4: Are you pregnant?

PIPER: (smiles) Yes, I am. Was that all?

STUDENT #3: Yeah. Congratulations.

PIPER: Well, thanks. You should go now, you've got class to attend to.

STUDENT #4: See you next week, Mrs. H.

(the girls disappear)

PIPER: (to herself) Mrs. H. huh?

(a new, younger group of students pile in)

PIPER: Good morning. We're going to start by making chocolate cake today, so please all put on an apron, take a piece of paper and something to write and then come stand around me and I'll show you what you should do.

(the students do as told and go stand in a circle, well, a group around Piper)

PIPER: Guys, before we start, please write down everything very carefully, so you won't forget it, all right? Frank, what are you doing?

FRANK: I'm taping your class, that way I won't miss anything.

PIPER: (frowning) You can write it down like everyone else.

FRANK: But I can't write and watch you at the same time.

PIPER: You'll just have to learn. Now shut the thing off and start writing.

FRANK: I don't have paper with me.

(FRANK gets a pen and paper from another student)

PIPER: So we solved that. Now we can get on with class. Or is anyone carrying a hidden mike? (the class laughs)

CUT TO – Park – noon

PHOEBE: So, what are you going to do about Rick?

PAIGE: Dump him, I guess.

PHOEBE: Are you sure?

PAIGE: No! We had so much fun.

PHOEBE: As your sister I'd say, have some more fun with him, as the advice columnist I'd say, dump him before you hurt more people, like yourself.

PAIGE: And as my sister the advice columnist?

PHOEBE: I'll let you figure that out on yourself.

PAIGE: (picks up WYATT) Auntie Phoebe is not being nice.

PHOEBE: Don't put them up against me!

(WYATT starts laughing as PAIGE starts to tickle him)

PAIGE: Wouldn't it be great if we would just stay kids forever.

PHOEBE: You'd get bored of it.

PAIGE: Who knows.

PHOEBE: I hate to admit it, but I'm jealous of Piper.

PAIGE: A husband, two cuties of children, a nice house.

PHOEBE: The only thing she misses is a career.

PAIGE: She's had that already.

PHOEBE: (to the kids) Now don't got telling that to your mommy.

PAIGE: She'd love that.

PHOEBE: Exactly.
