"Luuuke!" Lorelai whined, "It needs to be fixed tonight! I don't wanna sleep lop-sided."

"Fine." Luke gave in. "I'll be over after I close up."

"Thank you, Thank you, Thank you." Lorelai was glad to have him around.

"I've got work to do. I'll see ya later."

"Thanks again." Lorelai hung up the telephone.

At ten o' clock on the dot, as he always did, Luke turned the diner's sign to closed and locked the doors. He then walked to Lorelai's house as promised. Luke was greeted by a very grateful Lorelai.

"Did I mention I'm really thankful for you coming over in this short of notice?"

"Yes you did, only about a billion times." Luke replied brushing the snow off his head and shoulders.

"Boy, It's really coming down out there." Lorelai commented closing the door behind him.

"Yeah, I guess I should get started." Luke replied.

"Sure, right this way Mr.fix-it." Lorelai teased heading up the stairs to her bedroom. Luke followed.

"I think it's that one." Lorelai directed pointing to the bottom right leg of her bed.

"How did you manage this anyway?" Luke asked kneeling down to examine it.

"The bed is really old. I think it was god's way of telling me I need a new bed." Lorelai replied.

"But why buy a new bed when you can beg me to come and fix it?" Luke commented.

"Exactly. So can you fix it?"

"Yep, just give me a few minutes and it will be good as new."

"I'll be downstairs if you need me." Lorelai threw over shoulder as she headed out the door.

It hadn't been ten minutes and Lorelai was back upstairs.

"Would you like to hear the good news or the bad news first?" Lorelai asked.

Luke sat up. "What's the bad news?" he growled.

"Um, we're snowed in." Lorelai grinned trying to lighten the mood.

"And the good news would be?"

"Your stuck with me."

"Oh goody." Luke replied sarcastically as he put his tools away and stood up.
He followed Lorelai downstairs, sat his toolbox next to his boots in the entryway and took a seat next to Lorelai on the couch.

"So do you want some hot chocolate? I just made some." Lorelai asked.

"That sounds great actually." Luke replied. Lorelai started to get up. "I'll get it." He picked up Lorelai's empty mug up off the coffee table.

He poured two mugs full and sat back down after he had handed Lorelai her cup.

"You wanna watch a movie or something?" she asked slowly sipping her cocoa.

"Sure, I guess so." Luke replied.

"Cool, you have a choice between Willy Wonka and The Godfather Part One." she replied kneeling by the television set.

"I haven't seen either one of them so it doesn't really matter." Luke replied making himself comfortable on the couch.

"Willy Wonka it is then." Lorelai said as she slid the tape into the VCR and made herself comfortable on the couch before pressing play.

The both sat and watched the movie contently. Luke kept glancing over at Lorelai every once in a while, he smiled, he enjoyed seeing her so happy.
She laughed.

"After living with rich parents for so long I'm so glad turn out glad I didn't turn out like that Varuca Sult chick." she commented.

Luke smiled. The Umpa Loompas were in middle of their song about the spoiled brat when the television shut off and the lights went out.

"Great, not only are we snowed in but we don't have any electricity either." Lorelai grumped after she had gotten up and felt her way to the hall closet for the flashlight. "Ah ha! Rory owes me five bucks." she praised herself after she had found them. "Here. Take this and go into the kitchen and find the matches." she demanded handing him a flashlight.

"Matches? For what?" Luke asked confused.

"To build a fire, duh." Lorelai replied.

"You mean that thing actually works?" Luke asked gesturing towards the fireplace.

"I've never tried it. Now's the perfect time to find out." she replied.

"Maybe you should get the matches. I'll see if I can get this thing to work." He directed removing the things from the sill and bending down to look at it. She headed to the kitchen. A few minutes later Lorelai returned to the living room with the matches and something else she had found along the way.

"Got it working?" she asked taking a seat next to him and handing him the matches.

"I think so." he replied striking the match.

"We've officially discovered a relative of the caveman who discovered fire." Lorelai joked patting Luke on the shoulder after he had managed to get the fire started. Luke smiled and sat up.

"So, what else did you bring back from the kitchen?" he asked.

"What's a fire without smores?" Lorelai replied holding up a bag of marshmellows and two forks.

"Nothing apparently." Luke replied, "So, how do you make smores?"

Lorelai's mouth dropped open. "What cave have you been living in?"

"Actually not far up the street." he joked.

Lorelai explained the different ways to construct the perfect smore.

"This isn't actually half bad." Lorelai commented after she had tasted Luke's attempted smore. "Here. Have a bite." she told him holding out the sandwich.

He bit into it, marshmellow running down his chin. Lorelai giggled.

"That's not half bad." he replied. Lorelai was still laughing. "What?"

"Hold still." she told him reaching up and wiping the marshmellow from his chin with her index finger.

Luke chuckled. Lorelai licked the marshmellow from her finger and made a face.

"What was that for?" Luke asked.

"Marshmellow and Aftershave, not a good combination." she replied.

"I'll keep that in mind." Luke smiled.
